I need help finding my husband's grandparents' marriage. I don't know the exact county of marriage but I do know the general area of the state they lived in so I'm checking several county records. Could someone please check for this marriage record or a census record for 1900 or 1910 for these people? At this point I'm going by the process of elimination--county by county. John Nathaniel Brooks(b. July 27, 1861 and d. March 2, 1913) married Amanda or Della Morgan (b.June 17, 1880 and d. June 28, 1913) for his second marriage probably between 1899 & 1902. His first wife had been a Keener I think-but that's family "legend." He had three children that I know of from the first marriage: Anderson Dee (b.1894) Georgia (b. 1890 maybe married a Payne), Lillie (dob unknown, might have married an Elliott. These children might be still living with John on a census record. John & Della had four children that I know of: Savannah, b. July 21, 1902 and died April 9, 1907. Julius, born July 1, 1905 and died October 22, 1906. John Thomas, b. September 26, 1907 and Wallace Curtis, b. June 28, 1910. >From all this I would believe that John and Della could have married between 1894 & 1902. But if Savannah was the first child I suspect that the marriage was closer to 1900. I would appreciate any help with this. John and Della died within three months of each other when their son Wallace (my husband's father) was 3. Wallace didn't know anything about his parents and couldn't pass information along. Thank you. Sincerely, Gwen Brooks

I tried to access www.ancientfaces.com to no avail. Is there more I should try? I'd dearly love to get into it. Thanks, Lorna

Hi! I was just on: www.ancientfaces.com It has a lot of old photos and surnames. Just wanted to share as I thought someone might be interested! Kathy researching: Benning, Burns, Morison

I am posting this query to several mailing lists, just in case someone out there knows of this family line. Please delete now if you've already read this. John COBB was born June 12, 1844 somewhere in Alabama, and died October 06, 1921 in Mississippi County, Neal Twp. AR. He married (1) Martha COGGINS/MANN, daughter of Rolleigh COGGINS and Mary EDWARDS. She was born 1844 in Northampton County, NC, and died Abt. 1893. He married (2) Francis A. HOUSE 1894. She was born June 1872 in Georgia. Children of JOHN COBB and Martha COGGINS/MANN are: i. Kesiah COBB, b. May 05, 1866, GA; m. Fulton Baxter TROTTER, June 05,1881, Dade Co GA; d. February 19, 1888. ii. James Tatton COBB, b. Abt. 1868, GA; m. Fannie MALONE, October 26, 1902, AL. iii. William Henry COBB, b. Abt. 1870, GA. iv. Sarah Rosetta or Rosella COBB, b. Abt. 1874, GA. v. John Walter COBB, b. August 30, 1880, Cole City, Dade County, GA; m. 1). Susan McSpadden, November 09, 1899, Dekalb Co, AL; 2). Lennie Ann Henson, September 01, 1913, Dekalb Co, AL; d. July 06, 1961, Benton Harbor, Berrien County, MI. Children of John COBB and Francis HOUSE are: vi. Annie F. COBB, b. June 1894, TN; m. ? BOND vii. Lee COBB, b. September 21, 1897, Chattanooga, Hamilton County, TN. viii. Charles COBB, b. February 1898, Georgia. ix. Bessie COBB, b. 1900, Georgia; m. ? STALLINGS. x. Robert COBB, b. March 17, 1904, Lookout Mtn., GA. xi. William COBB, b. 1913, Missouri. xii. Rose COBB *John COBB was born somewhere in AL. I first find him on the 1870 Bartow Co, GA census. He was already married to Martha by then and they had his first 3 children. *Then, I find them on the 1880 Dade Co, GA census. Next, on the 1900 census, he and wife number 2: Fannie are found in Chattooga Co, GA. *In 1910, they have moved to Dunklin Co, MO where they stay until John dies in 1921. He died just over the MO line into AR and I haven't been able to find a grave for him. I am descended from John's son, John Walter COBB, he was my g-granddad. I sure hope someone out there belongs to this line. Regards, Cindy Z up here in Michigan

Hi everyone There is a site that has books on the cemeteries and towns of Oregon and a book on World War II. the web address is http://www.teleport.com/~gtpub/ Dean

Dear List Members, I've been trying for some months to find more information about a great-grandfather, a miner, who was killed in Cherokee County or maybe just across the state line in Etna, GA, around 1896. He lived with his wife and two children in the town of Tecumseh, now defunct. Although I suspect that he's buried in the Salem Baptist Church cemetery, where his father-in-law William Niblet is buried, no headstone exists, so I can't prove anything. Is anyone aware of which funeral homes existed in the area at that time which may have conducted the burial arrangements? Again, this would have been in the mid-to-late 1890's in eastern Cherokee County only about a mile from the GA line. The nearest sizeable town would be Cedartown, GA. Since the burial records for Salem Baptist Church apparently no longer exist, I'm hoping that maybe some funeral home might have records. Thanks. Sincerely, --Mark in Mobile, AL

You can find a map of Garrett-Cardon Cemetery of Cherokee County at: http://www.lightpatch.com/genealogy/cathy/gandccemetery3.htm I'm going to Centre and Gadsden in November, and hope to update the map with better pictures of each headstone. Robert Moon has spent a great deal of time restoring the cemetery. Genealogy research on: ASHWORTH BATTLES CARDON CARDEN KENNER MCSPADDEN SMITH http://www.lightpatch.com/genealogy [email protected]

Here is some more info regarding the moving of a cemetery in St. Louis.   Contact the address given if any of your family is in this cemetery. BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK Bridgeton, Missouri 1843 -------- 1963             This burying ground at 4616 Long Road was made into a memorial park in 1962.  In 1959 several lawsuits were filed against the City for allowing the cemetery to deteriorate.  Individual stones had already been removed "through error and misunderstanding" but members of the Bridgeton Historical Commission were able to learn the names of some who were buried there and a large monument was erected in 1963 which bears this inscription, "We honor the people buried here.  They were part of this nations adventure and their vision lighted the path we follow today."  At the dedication ceremonies, Mrs. Anna Wilson gave a talk about colored veterans who are buried here.  Records indicate that the cemetery was integrated from its beginning in 1858.  It was in use as late as 1954 and at least 100 people are buried in the two acres.  On the bronze plaque of the monument are the following names: Annie Adams           Auston Edwards    Enoch Mumps       Edward Walker Benjamin Adams     Auston Edwards, Jr.   Elio Phillips     Kit Walker George Adams         Grace Edwards       Eliza Phillips         Lizzie Walker Lottie Adams            Katie Edwards         Ike Phillips          Quiller Walker Ben Alexander         The Galliger Family   Tilly Phillips        Tommy Walker George Alexander   Almiria Grannison    Walter Phillips    Barbara White Henry Alexander       Creed Hall               Bell Pruitt               John White Lucy Alexander       Creed Hall, Jr.      The Pueroa Family        Noah White Eugene Allen           Hillard Hall          Fred Riddle Shibina White Arthur Bassett       Hiram Hall           James Robertson           Alice Wilson Dr. William Berry    Jack Haggerty      Will Rush                    Ernest Wilson Febie Bivens        The Heidron Children    Baron Scott        Geroge Wilson George Bivens         Lizzie Hodge          Louise Scott     Theodore Woodson Lizzie Bivens            Steve Hodge          Lydia Scott             Baby Woolfolk Millie Bivens           The Horn Family         Laura Smith      Hadley Woolfolk Rafe Bivens            Nasrus Jackson      Roberta Stanton     Gibson Wright Samuel Bivens       Amy Johnson           Lewis Stevenson      Hiram Wright Cosley Black           George Johnson     Fred Steward          Mamie Wright Edward Black       Julia Johnson           Henry Stocker          Green Young Hiram Black           Robert Johnson     Joseph Taylor        Mary Ann Young King Black             Turner Johnson      Abe Thompson      Skip Young Sam Balck                 Mr. Knight            Henry Thompson Bell Carter                Henry Lewis           Hiram Thompson Lilly Cheeks              Hal Lint                     Jenny Thompson Henry Clanton         Luvenia Lint               Mamie Tucker Fred Dickson           The McClure Family     Barney Vonsray Joe Duglas, Jr.         Jessie Moore            Texas Hall Wadlington      This list was given to me by The Missouri Historical Society P.O. Box 11940 St. Louis, Missouri  63112-0040 (314) 746-4599   There is a Shirley Wotawa that is seeking information about the persons buried here.  If you can help with this project, please contact her at 142 Sheppley Dr.  Apt #2, St. Louis, Mo.  63137   You can also contact the St. Louis Dept. of Parks and Recreation Historical Preservation Office at (314) 615-0357.      

If you have family in this cemetery or know of anyone who is researching this area, pass this along.   Hello, I live in St. Louis, Missouri and saw on the local news tonight that there is a BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK - 1843 - 1963 ( North St. Louis) that is looking for persons with family buried there.  The airport is being expanded and they are going to move the CEMETERY. Is there a way to get this message to as many listers as possible in a short amount of time? Can you help! Pat Jones Smith St. Louis, Missouri  USA [email protected]
