Hello, Hello to those of you that I am communicating with for the first time but it should be evident once you begin reading the information below as to why I have contacted you. Some of you I have run across via your websites featuring information on some of the following. Some of you have been reading some of my emails regarding the following on the various genealogy lists and some of you I have been corresponding with directly previously. This email is a bit lengthy but I do believe that it will provide some clues with which we might connect some important missing information. Okay...there is more that connects these various lines.....so if I may beg your patience once again to read through the following information, it just might be enough to solve some much sought out mysteries and their clarification. There are names mentioned further into the email that I have not found nor mentioned before. After looking at extensive amounts of information regarding various branches of lineage of the surnames of MYRICK - PIERCE - HERRINGTON - DICKERSON - FURR - STUTTS - CAGLE - MILLS it is obvious that there are so many varying recognized and unrecognized connections with my branches of MYRICK - PIERCE - HERRINGTON - DICKSON/DICKERSON - STUCKEY lines that appear to have been out of VA and NC, prob. Moore Co., ?SC?, before some of them are known to have been in GA up until abt. 1820 when my MYRICK - PIERCE were, briefly, in AL en route migrating to Mississippi where they probably arrived in abt. 1822 or so where my 3rd great grandparents, Elizabeth PIERCE, born: 1790 in SC, (parents: ??,) and her husband, William MYRICK, born: bef. 1790 in ?/GA prob., (parents: ??,) were the parents of my 2nd great grandfather: William H. "Bill/Billy" MYRICK, born: 1827 in Jasper Co., MS, who married Phoebe Catherine HERRINGTON, born: 1834, (mother: Cynthia/Sina? GRANTHAM, born: abt. 1800 in SC/NC, (border?,) and father: William HERRINGTON, Jr., born: abt. 1794 in New Hanover Co., NC, (father: William HERRINGTON, Sr., (Rev. War,) born: bef. 1755 in Craven Co., NC,)) and they were the parents of my great grandfather, Calvin Pierce "Callie" MYRICK, born: 1858 in Jasper Co., MS, who married his 3rd cousin, Harriet Kaqtherine "Hattie" HERRINGTON/HARRINGTON, born: 1868, (mother: Rebecca Jane DICKERSON/DICKSON, born: abt. 1826, (mother: ??, father: ??,) and father: Isom/Isham Daniel HERRINGTON, born: Dec 1828 in Lawrence or Covington Co., MS, (his 2nd was Sarah E. COLEMAN,) (mother: Harriet STUCKEY, born: abt. 1802, father: Enoch HERRINGTON, born: abt. 1795 in New Hanover Co., NC, (father: William HERRINGTON, Sr., (Rev. War,) born: bef. 1755 in Craven Co., NC.) The above mentioned Isom/Isham Daniel HERRINGTON was the brother of William Franklin HERRINGTON who married Tabitha Priscilla CAGLE, daughter of Green Berry CAGLE. And there is a MYRICK - CAGLE - MILLS family from Moore Co., NC who migrated to Mena, Polk Co., Arkansas. There are so many connections and possibilities for connections including the above mentioned CAGLE and MYRICK and MILLS and FURR surnames/connected families who are related out of Moore Co., NC and were later in Mena, Polk Co., Arkansas that were from the Elijah CAGLE and Nancy Elizabeth MILLS family including their grandson, I believe, who was Dr. Spencer MYRICK. I think the name of Dr. Spencer MYRICK's father may have been James MYRICK but could be something else and Dr. Spencer MYRICK may have had either a brother or a son or some relative in Mena that was named James MYRICK and might have been called "Pink" or there may be another relative called and/or named "Pink," perhaps short for "Pinckney" as appears along with the names of Spencer, James, John and Calvin as frequent names in particular MYRICK family branch that I believe is related to that Mena MYRICK branch. Also in Mena, Polk Co., Arkansas in the early 1900's is a David Luke MYRICK, (also known as "T. Texas TYLER," whose father was named James MYRICK, I think, and may have called/nicknamed "Pink" MYRICK according to my information. Then in my branch, my 2nd great grandfather, William H. "Billy" MYRICK, born: 1827 in Jasper Co., MS, son of Elizabeth PIERCE and William MYRICK, had another son named Jeremiah MYRICK. William H. "Billy" MYRICK and his wife, Phoebe Catherine HERRINGTON, my 2nd great grandparents, named one of their sons, Jeremiah Pinckney "Jerry/Pink" MYRICK, who was the brother of my great grandfather, Calvin Pierce "Callie" MYRICK, born: 1858 in Jasper Co., MS. My 3rd great grandmother, Elizabeth PIERCE, born: 1790 in South Carolina, whose parents are not known at this time, was probably in Georgia at some time after birth but that is strictly speculation as her 1st born son, Aquilla MYRICK, is thought to have been born there in abt. 1814 in Georgia and it is possible that his name was James MYRICK and his wife was named BENNETT. I am wondering if my PIERCE lineage and my lineage from the above mentioned DICKERSON/DICKSON is in anyway, as I suspect, connected to the PIERCE and DICKERSON lines that married into the above mentioned FURR - MILLS - CAGLE families. I show that there was a Mary Jane DICKSERSON, born: 1839 in Lawrence Co., MS. My 2nd great grandmother, Rebecca Jane DICKERSON/DICKSON, was born in abt. 1826, and she married Isom/Isham Daniel HERRINGTON/HARRINGTON, who was born in Dec 1828 in either Lawrence or Covington Co., MS where many other family members/groups lived. Isom's brother, William Franklin HERRINGTON, is the one that married Tabitha Priscilla CAGLE, daughter of Green Berry CAGLE. The above mentioned Mary Jane DICKERSON was the daughter of William DICKERSON, born: 1809 in Tennessee, and his wife, Amanda Melvina FURR, born: 1821 in Lincoln Co., MS, and their children were Florence Eudora, Mary Jane, Eleanor, William Caleb, and R. E., all born between bef. 1841 through 1844 and, apparently, all or most were born in Lawrence Co., MS. There are other DICKERSON's in Attala Co., MS where Isom/Isham Daniel HERRINGTON's father, Enoch HERRINGTON, later lived. I believe Enoch's wife, Harriet STUCKEY, my 3rd great grandmother was still living at that time. The above mentioned Amanda Melvina FURR, born: 1821 in Lincoln Co., MS, was the daughter of Mary M. PIERCE, born: 03 Sep 1798 in Wilkes Co., Georgia, died: 22 Oct 1871 in Lincoln Co., MS, buried at Hurston Lee (Furr - Pierce) Cemetery, Lincoln Co., MS, (who were her parents?,) and her father was D. Henry FURR, born: 15 March 1790, md: 1815 in GA, mother: Elizabeth STUTTS, born: 1753 in Moore Co., NC, and father: Leonard FURR, born: abt. 1758 in Cold Water Creek, Anson Province, NC. As I said, I think my Elizabeth PIERCE was in Georgia sometime not too very long after her birth. Is it possible that she was the sister of the above mentioned woman named Mary M. PIERCE, born: 03 Sep 1798 in Wilkes Co., GA? Some of Elizabeth PIERCE's children and granchildren married into the BENNETT, STINSON, BYRD, LOWE, RUNNELS, ANDERSON, POOLE, PARKER, LEWIS families among others. There is another MYRICK branch out of Moore Co., NC believed to be descended from the Owen and Francis MYRICK and Susannah CARROLL lines that features men named Calvin and James MYRICK that also is related to CAGLE and STUTTS families in Moore Co., NC. Children of the aforementioned Mary M. PIERCE and D. Henry FURR were: Fannie FURR Henry FURR Anderson FURR Olivia Hodges FURR Amanda Melvina FURR Pearl FURR Mary FURR Benjamin Franklin FURR John J. FURR Cynthia FURR Martha Jane FURR William Rankin FURR What MYRICK and PIERCE families were in the Wilkes Co., Georgia area at the time of the above mentioned Mary M. PIERCE in 1798? That may be a tremendously big clue. Also, in the connecting info to these PIERCE - FURR people mentioned above is another PIERCE individual named Anderson PIERCE who married Etta DOUGLAS and there is a Catherine "Katie" PIERCE, born: 17 Jan/June 1792 in Wilkes Co., GA or Burke Co., GA who died: 10 Dec 1882 in Brookhaven, Lincoln Co., MS and is buried in the Little Bahala Baptist Church that she helped found in Lawrence Co., MS, making me think that she is connected to the above mentioned Mary M. PIERCE and my Elizabeth PIERCE. This Catherine "Katie" PIERCE married Christian Jacob FURR, born: 15 Aug 1792 in Moore Co., NC and married in 20 Oct 1812 in Franklin Co., GA. Some of this info comes from Nancy BALMER and other researchers in these lines. The children of Christian Jacob FURR and Catherine "Katie" PIERCE are shown as: Emily FURR George Washington FURR William FURR Mary FURR Joel Harvey FURR Joseph W. FURR Nancy Jane FURR Randall Pierce FURR Francis Marion FURR Lott FURR Christian Lafayette FURR James Monroe FURR (all born bet. 1813 in Wilkes Co., GA and 1838 in Lawrence Co., MS,) I wonder if there is, also, a LOTT family connection as my LOTT family and descent out of Isle of Wight Co., VA into North Carolina into Old Spanish Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and then into Louisiana on my mother's HATTEN - LOTT side of the family is also married into my father's MYRICK - HERRINGTON/HARRINGTON - GRANTHAM side of the family. And the above mentioned FURR families with Catherine FURR married on 05 Dec 1831 in Cabarrus Co., NCc, to Harwood Washington CAGLE, born: 1809 in NC, and died: 1865 in Pope Co., Arkansas. And there's a Hettie FURR who married Jasper Leon CAGLE. There is somewhere in connecting information to this PIERCE and FURR family above a Norman Wayne FURR that is married to Mary Ella AINSWORTH who might or might not be related to the AINSWORTH family of my uncle by marriage, A. Leon AINSWORTH, who married my aunt, my father's sister, Ellen Grace MYRICK, who was born in Simpson Co., MS near Magee, and is descended from the above Isom Daniel HERRINGTON and his 1st wife, Rebecca Jane DICKERSON who were Ellen Grace MYRICK (AINWORTH's) great grandparents. The names of BARLOW and BYRD also show up in the above mentioned PIERCE and FURR families as they do in our MYRICK - HERRINGTON - GRANTHAM - PIERCE - STUCKEY families. It gets very confusing but I am trying to sort it out. But I do believe that my particular MYRICK - PIERCE - DICKERSON - HERRINGTON - STUCKEY missing pieces are wrapped up in these families mentioned above. In advance, I thank you for any help you might be able to give in solving these mysteries. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
