I met him on my last trip to Henry County in May of 1999. My Uncle James Fletcher was with me. Uncle James use to live across the road from Chicken and even though My Uncle had been away for 80 years, they remembered each other. It was quite a reunion.

When I first started to research I thought Stewart was a brother to my gggrandfather, they lived close to one another, Stewart bought land from my gggrandfather's mother and he showed up in Henry Co. AL about the same time as my gggrandfather (John Gray Money). I gave that info to a Money researcher in GA buy the name of Bob Money. He sent that info to the Church of Latter Day Saints. The next thing I knew it was all over the internet. I contacted Bob and told him that I was wrong, but he never corrected it. After years of research I'm sure Stewart wasn't the son of James Cash, but I'm pretty sure he was close kin.

Judy, I agree, if I do not give you a source, then it is up to you to find it. However, when I am paying money for something it should be valid and not the research of someone else. I never think anyone is correct unless I have documentation. Most often, I do not have more than one source on allied lines, I feel it is important to document my direct line. Talking about people doing weird things. We Parker researchers are still trying to determine why, A. J. and Sarah Parker were on the census for 1870, Woodville Precinct Greene County, IL. We have no idea how long they were there. In 1860 they were in Georgetown, Quitman Co., GA.. and in 1880 they were back in Roeville, Henry Co., Al. I suspect it had to do with the WBTS, however, I have no knowledge of that. If he were one of my Grandfather's instead of one of my Uncle's, I would be trying to find out.

With over fifteen medications in one’s body, there is the possibility that a lapse in better judgement is present. On September 15th, I entered into a conversation between two very renowned researchers as they worked out miniscule differences between themselves, those being our mutual friends of Winnette and Don Summers. My empathy for Winnette was real, however, without observing this interaction unfold to its very pleasant end, I flew into the “fray” which was completely and totally wrong on my part, no matter how one looks upon it. I apologize first for being intrusive in the matter and secondly for the modicum of ill will I posed to any parties concerned. I am a “wanna-be” Henry County historian, being thus for 35 years. My acceptance on these message boards is deeply appreciated as I glean so much information about the people who set into motion the events I chronicle in my ongoing research. As Don so aptly put it, I “tell my tales of Henry County history” in this distinguished forum to give each of you a historic backdrop for your family’s personal history. As a wayfaring stranger here, I feel I have interrupted the cordial flow of exciting interaction that takes place every day. For this I beg your humble forgiveness. So, in the future, when I break into the give and take of genealogical ideas, I will be there only as a raconteur of the rich and colorful tapestry that is the history of Patrick Henry County. It has been made thus by the people whose names you bring forth on this lively board of genealogical data. Your folk, and mine, created this mysterious living being that is old Henry County. God speed to each of you in your quest. Until we meet again on the virtual front porch of Henry County history, I remain Your faithful and obedient servant, Steve

More on Wade and Cynthia Kirkland Armstrong: I found a marriage in the Early Co., Georgia records in which a Wade Armstrong and a Miss Cynthia Bright were married Oct. 4, 1834 (page 4). Cynthia was married to Hugh G. Bright before Wade. In reference to the earlier posting on this family....It could be that Cynthia was still married to Hugh Bright when she married Wade over in GA. Could be possible that she and Wade remarried in Henry Co. when Aris was born. I have also found TWO dates of birth for their first born Elizabeth Armstrong who married Edward WHIDDON. One dob was in 1833 and the other 1835. Have no proof as to which is the correct dob. May never figure out all the answers but that's why I like genealogy! Pat Long jalpal@graceba.net

Winnette & other Armstrong researchers; Wade & Cynthia Kirkland Armstrong married March 1, 1837. Wade was born abt. 1810 (no proof of dob...), dies abt. 1840. Some things don't add up with this marriage date BUT I have been to the Henry County courthouse to view the original marriage book and there is no doubt this is when they were married. Children are: Elizabeth Armstrong born Aug. 10, 1835 (well before the marriage date of 1837). Aris Armstrong was was born March 1, 1837 (same date as the marriage date..no explanation of this fact). Delilah was born Nov. 27, 1838 and Armstead was born Jan. 8, 1841. The first entry I found of Wade's estate was dated October of 1840 in the Orphan Books. Looks like Cynthia was pregnant with Armstead when Wade died. Martin A* was the adm. of his estate (in the letters of administration....on application of Martin Armstrong, the brother of the deceased). Another record in Henry Co. Moses A* states that Martin was his son. William Kirkland, Sr. was the children's guardian and the father of Cynthia. All four of these children were given EQUAL shares of Wade's estate so evidently there was no doubt as to the father.

Winette, Don't believe that this W.C. Armstrong is a child of Moses & Elizabeth. First Elizabeth would probably be too old to have a child born in 1828. Moses is not on the 1860 census. Believe he has died by then. Elizabeth lives with Hiram & Margaret in 1860 and is said to be 95 yrs. old. I don't know who W. C. belongs to....could even be Hiram. I'll get my Armstrongs files out this weekend and see if I have any notes about W.C.

I am trying to find the parents of my ggg-grandmother Hannah E. Wood. Hannah was born c1824 NC (from census records) She married William Rufus Wood 03 Sep 1840 Henry Co, Ala (I have that info from Marriage books). I have them on the 1850 Barbour Co, Ala census, (which borders Henry County) and the 1860 Census Butler Co, Ala census...with their children. I have not found them on a census in 1870; and in 1880 William is listed as a widower, living with son William in San Jacinto Co, Tx. So Hannah died sometime between the 1860 census, and the 1880 census. I am wondering if they were cousins, or if it was just a coincidence that both their surnames were Wood. I have information on William's parentage and ancestors, from Sampson Co, NC to Barbour Co, Ala. My focus is on Hannah, and whether or not she and William were cousins, and just who her parents were. Thanks for any help Pat --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less.

I read this reply and agree that you should order the original records as I found that my g g g grandmother's name was misspelled and cost me years of research through other means, to find her husband. Search the original records! Yours truly, Judy In California

Winnett: Just a thought for you. I receive information from many sources, and I accept it in the 'spirit of sharing' then I set out to prove or disprove their evidence. I have received many clues from other's research that I would not have found on my own, but I do the proof my self. I research land records (wonderful resource of proving relationships and often cites the husband's name in the records), census records, wills, mortality schedules, etc. I have a lively correspondence with librarians and have found them very helpful in the parts of the country I am researching. I have also hired a professional researcher to break though so of my blocks. They are not as expensive as you would think. For instance, one of the family 'traditions' in my husband's family was - "Great-Grandma Bradshaw wanted to leave Iowa because of the Indians. I heard this over and over. Great-Grandpa was suppose to have won a lottery in Macclesfield England to come to Paterson New Jersey to weave silk. He was a master weaver. How and why did they end up from 1865 to 1869-70 in Iowa? A family bible gave me a clue that he was worked in a blind school. Did not compute with my other records. When I wrote to Iowa State Library, I asked what blind school was there in 1865-70 in Iowa. The short version of all the information I received was, the blind school was the one started by Mary Ingles, and her husband. Remember "Little House on the Prairie?" My husband's Great Grand-father knew the Ingles! Oh, yea, the Indians were the Creeks who where angry during those years. Genealogy is so great! I would never have studied Silk Weaving, Iowa history, or Creek Indians any other way. Judy in California
