Posted on: Limestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Limestone/10547 Surname: ------------------------- What is Limestone County? My maiden name is Carriger. My grandfather, Wesley C. Carriger, was born in Tennessee I believe around 1880, lived near Kerrville, Texas long enough to marry my grandmother, then lived in the Coachella Valley in California. I know little more about his family, as I believe his father died when he was young and his mother remarried a Reverend Waterhouse. I think he had a brother named Charles Wesley. My mother thinks the Carrigers owned a railroad in Tennessee, and I suspect they may have been slave owners because I have run into several African-American Carrigers. I would like to know where the surname Carriger originated. My father told me it was a corruption of a German word meaning Coach maker, and that his family believed they were descendants of Hessian mercenaries who fought for England during the Revolutionary War, then remained in this country, possibly after changing allegiances.

Hello fellow listers, We are inquiring to see if anyone might have any knowledge of the death of Sherman L. Martin. As far as we can determine he passed on between the years 1894 and the year 1904. His mother's probate was read in 1904 and it listed Sherman as being deceased. Sherman Martin was married to Hattie Tickner, the daughter of David L. and Jane Miner Tickner and we believe the two families moved to Limestone at the same time. Hopefully someone has some cemetery books that Sherman Martin may be listed in. Thank you for reading this, hopefully someone might know something about this family and might possibly be working on the same family line. Paul and Louella Miner McCook, Nebraska

Listmembers, I'm sure by now most of you have seen a message floating around regarding Genealogy.com selling messages that are posted to GenForum message boards. It hasn't appeared on this list yet, but I thought I would beat somebody to the punch. The message kind of gives the impression that GenFourm is connected with RootsWeb and/or Ancestry.com. I want to take this time to clear up some things. 1) GenFourm belongs to Genealogy.com not to RootsWeb or Ancestry.com. Any info you post to a RootsWeb message board or mailing list will not be sold. 2) The powers that be at Genealogy.com have denied this allegation, and well I believe them regardless of the stories that go around about them. So, if you get a copy of this message, the best thing you can do is delete it with the rest of the junk mail. You would think these people would spend their time and money looking for ancestors rather than spouting off garbage, oh well......... I apologize for the interruption. I know this is the second time in as many days that I've had to post a warring about a chain letter that affects RootsWeb. I wish these crazy people would get a life....or at least spend their online time more productively. Well....anyway...back to regularly scheduled programming. If anyone has any comments about this, please e-mail me privately.
