Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JU.2ADI/611 Message Board Post: The 1850 US Census indicated Marshall's living in this county. My family name descends from a James Marshall who in 1754, when being granted land in Kershaw Dist. SC, stated that he had come lately from Penn. Over the past 5 years with the help of lots of folks, I have collected data on some 750 families that descend from this James. But I cannot get past James, who was a Capt in the Rev. War. I now believe to get past this James brick wall new technology is required. And it appears the new technology just might be DNA testing. Many of you have the same type of brick wall. Or there may be someone with the Marshall surname you have always wondered with about kinship. I have recently started a Marshall Surname DNA Project. If your surname is Marshall or something very similar, and would consider participating in the project please contract me at my e-mail address listed below. To learn more about the tests please go to www.familytreedna.com. I now have enough Marshall's interested to qualify for the $99 each group rate. This is for the 12 marker test. With enough participation across the United States we might be able to identify all the various Marshall lines in the US. Once we have identified the many lines and which we are part of, we can better refine our standard genealogical research to locate our ancestors. Contact me if you have questions.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Johnston Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JU.2ADI/506.1 Message Board Post: Just curious if you found out any more information on your John Caldwell Johnston as my John Caldwell Johnston is the more documented John Caldwell Johnston. From what I know is that about three or so Johnston brothers along with possibly their father immigrated from Ireland to the British Colony of America before the Revolutionary War possibly to Kentucky while another three or so Johnston brothers immigrated the the U.S. after the Revolutionary War from Ireland arriving in possibly Charleston, S.C. I think the majority of the brothers, although I am still researching, joined up and moved to Alabama in the 1830s or 1840s and remained in Alabama for a number of decades, mainly in Greene County, Clarke County, and Choctaw County, Alabama before some of he Johnston offspring moved to various places including my great grandfather and one or two of his brothers moved to Oklahoma. Why I am saying this is that I have noticed that in this Johnston family in was not uncommon for brothers to name their children after the exact same name of one of their other brothers. The original wave of Johnston brothers, the pre-revolutionary war immigrants, would have had to have moved either on their own or to meet their other post-revolutionary war immigrant brothers in South Carolina meaning that the pre-revolutionary brothers most likely came down through North Carolina to end up in South Carolina either as settlers before their other brothers immigrated or to meet their other brothers in South Carolina. It seems that the whole large Johnston clan moved to Alabama during the entire mid 1800 including pre and post Civil War. Do you think that our Johnston relatives are related as my John Caldwell Johnston who lived in Alabama but is a generation or so older than your John Caldwell Johnston. Maybe one of my John Caldwell Johnston's nephews was named John Caldwell Johnston, or a nephew of my John Caldwell Johnston name a son John Caldwell Johnston, but I am still researching non-direct blood relatives. One of my direct blood relatives is a Sarah E. Ezell born in North Carolina, ca. 1841, before she ended up in Georgia and then through Alabama to Texas. So, many things in genealogy seem to be coincidences which never amount to anything other than just a coincidence. Please let me know if you think that there could be a connection to my many Johnstons who immigrated from Ireland. Thanks. Mike Smith (Michael Johnston Smith), San Antonio, Texas [email protected]

I am hoping maybe some of you have run across a Yeager/Awtrey marriage in the course of your research. Awtrey name has been spelled a number of ways Autrey/Autry/Awtrey even Ortree and Awtroy on census. Yeager has been spelled differently through the years also, Jager/Yager/Yeager. I have a copy of a letter written by J.H. Awtrey dated 1 July 1939 which indicates children of Cornelius Awtrey, born about 1770 in NC and died in Perry County, AL in 1847. It lists 12 sons and 4 daughters. Lists names of all sons except for one although it does not show names of their wives. The writer either did not know or could not remember the names of the daughters buts lists them as Mrs. Downing and Mrs. Meharg of Calhoun County, AL; Mrs. Yeager of Perry County, AL; and Mrs. Griffin. I have identified three of the daughters but for the life of me cannot find info on Mrs. Yeager. Some say her name was Elizabeth born about 1811 but I know so very little about my Awtrey line, I have no clue where to start or even when she was born. I would appreciate any help or clues. Thanks.
