I have a little more "Allie" info but what I posted is the bulk of my information on him. I contacted my Aunt Jean and told her about your info. We thought we may have been the only relatives who knew anything about the details of Allie's death. All of our info had been taken from old newspapers (library microfilm). Where did your info come from? Do you know anything about the "misunderstanding" at school between Allie and Willie? Also, I have a transcription of an oral history by Emma Yeager (my g grandmother "Mammy" and daughter of Jack) that, among other things, sheds some light on Jack Yeager's pre-Mississippi years and his death. This file contains approximately 68 pages. I would be happy to send it to you via e-mail but prefer not to post it on the web. Hope to hear from you soon- Al

It’s time to make your plans to attend one of the best kept secrets in the South: two summer days devoted to genealogy research, learning, and networking. We continue to schedule this Workshop during the week when many families plan reunions, homecomings or family picnics. We hold it in the facilities of the South Carolina State Archives, which is just “down the road” from several major Southern and Carolina research facilities. We plan activities that will appeal to the beginner and the expert. We focus on things that are important to people who volunteer their time to help others enjoy family history and genealogy. And of course, we love it when “long lost” cousins are discovered during the Workshop. Here are the “basics” about the workshop and a special session for the public. And don’t forget to visit the SCGS website for updates about the program, registration materials, and hotel reservations - http://www.scgen.org/ ________________________________________ The 33rd Annual Workshop of the South Carolina Genealogical Society (SCGS)* will be held Friday and Saturday, July 9th – 10th, at the South Carolina Archives and History Center, 8301 Parklane Road, Columbia. This year’s Workshop has a special session “Treasures from the Attic” which is open to the public. It begins on Friday at 10:00 and continues through the early afternoon. This is your opportunity to have a one-on-one consultation with experts in the history and preservation of family heirlooms. Individuals with family Bibles, photographs, quilts, documents, military memorabilia and other family heirlooms will be matched with an expert from either the South Caroliniana Library, South Carolina State Museum, or the Lexington County Museum for a consultation. Harvey S. Teal, author of Partners With The Sun: SC Photographers, 1840 – 1940, will also be available to examine antique photographs. Experts will guide individuals in the “next steps” to take in preserving family heirlooms. A small fee of $5.00 per item is requested to defray the costs of the event. Advance reservations may be made to insure adequate time is available with appropriate experts. However, SCGS and its partners will try to accommodate “walk-ins” on a first-come, first-served basis. (If you can’t make the Workshop, but have a relative who wants help in preserving heirlooms or other sentimental items from a family or organization – this is the place to send them for assistance.) The Genealogy Session begin with Registration at 12:00 noon on Friday. Friday’s afternoon sessions begin with SCGS Workshop’s featured speaker, Tony Burroughs. Here is a listing of presenters and sessions for Friday afternoon. Pat Crowe (Preserving Family Memories), Sherry Cawley (Beginning Genealogy), Dr. Lloyd Johnson (Gideon Gibson: Colonial Free Person of Color), Horace Harmon (Genealogical Research Through Textiles), Steven D. Tuttle (SC Archives On-line), Brent H. Holcomb (German Research in SC), John H. Smith (NC Religious Repositories), and Brenda J. Smothers (Genealogical Case Study: SC to AL). When you finish, join us at the Speakers’ Reception and a Booksigning. Then perhaps top your evening off with dinner and late night “real live chats” with other participants. On Saturday morning, we’ll begin with some early morning networking. We can confirm at least one roundtable at this point, knowing others may develop in the coming weeks. The African–American Genealogical Roundtable will featuring Tony Burroughs, Brenda Smothers and Scott Wilds. Saturday’s opening general session will begin at 9:30 a.m. The sessions on Saturday will feature nationally recognized speakers including Harvey S. Teal (History of SC Photography), Tony Burroughs (Identifying Slave Owners). Other presenters will include Chloe Tonney, Shaunette Crawford and Kenneth H.

The cost of pre-registration is $22.00 for SCGS members and $27.00 for non-members.

Please give me a few days as I'm trying to meet a publishing deadline this weekend (yet another Yeager book). I will write you off list on Monday. I'm descended from Michael Yager b1728 VA, and I think you are possibly descended from one of his brothers, probably either Nicholas or Adam Jr., but don't know for sure yet.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JU.2ADI/920.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you very much for your reply. My name is Al Moore (Albert Lamar Moore III). I was born in Clarksdale, Ms, in 1948 and have been living in New Mexico since 1971. My grandfather was Albert Lamar Moore, son of Ella M. Yeager, daughter of Jack and Mary Yeager. Jack and Mary were my g-g grandparents. Allie Yeager, son of George and Minnie, would be my third cousin. Allie Lamar Yeager died February 17, 1892, one day after his sixteenth birthday and is buried in the Thomastown Baptist Cemetery next to his grandmother, Mary Ann Martin Yeager. My Grandfather Albert (Allie's first cousin) was born February 19. The generally accepted year of his birth (death certificate and grave marker) is 1895; however there is a 1910 census for the Moore family (John James, Ella and children) when they lived in Ackerman that lists my grandfather at the age of 18 which would put his birthdate two days after Allie was killed. Whether it is 1892 or 1895, while I do not believe that I was named directly after Allie Lamar Yeager, I do belive John and Ella (Allie's uncle and aunt) named my grandfather after Allie; hence, my grandparents named my father after my grandfather and I am named after my father; therefore my name derives from Allie Lamar Yeager. While researching the roots of my name, I came acroos a newspaper article in the Carthaginian (Cartharge, Ms) relating the events of February 17, 1892 Feb 19-Information has been received here of an assasination which occurred a few miles south of Thomastown, in Leake County, in which a young man named Yeager was waylaid and instantly killed by a schoolmate named Fowler. They had a misunderstanding at school and after returning home Yeager, accompanied by a negro boy, was out turkey hunting, and Fowler secreted himslef in the woods and fired on Yeager with the above results. The murderer is still at large but is being pursued by friends of the dead boy. The Carthaginian, June 9, 1893, relates: FOWLER ACQUITTED Canton, May 31-Argument in the case of the State against Willie Fowler, the seventeen year old boy who killed his schooolmate, Allie Yeager, about the same age in February last, was begun this morning at 9 o'clock. The state was represented by District Attorney Spencer Hudson, assisted by Mr. Jas. Hamblin. The defense was represented by Downs and Ward and C. B. Graves. Eloquent and able speeches were made on both sides and the case was given to the jury at 1:30 o'clock. After being locked up for three hours and a half the jury came into the court and rendered a verdict of not guilty. Quite a bositerous demonstartion was made which was promptly suppressed by the sheriff and condemned by Judge Chrisman. The last newspaper article I have found involving the people connected to the events of February 17, 1892 is from the Kosciusko Star, March 1, 1895: Willie Fowler Again Canton, Miss, Feb 22-Willie Fowler, an eighteen year old boy near Camden in this county was brought in this morning and put in jail. Wednesday he took a Winchester rifle and was out terrorizing everyone he met and when he went home at night his father took the gun from him and concealed it. Willie was very much enraged and threatened the whole family if the gun was not brought forth. Thursday he got the rifle and left home but returned in the afternoon and inquired for the old man, threatening to shoot him on sight. The old man got a shotgun and prepared to defend himself but just at that moment some neighbors who had heard Willie's threats arrived and took the rifle from him thereby preventing a terrible tragedy. Willie Fowler is the boy who last spring a year ago killed Yeager, and after a tedious trial, acquitted. He is now supposed to be insane. I only began researching this around 2001 and, unfortunately, I have had to rely on newspaper articles . You are the first person (outside my Aunt and myself) that knows anything about Allie Lamar Yeager and I would love to share everything you have and I have about Allie and the Yeager family. Thank you again for your reply- Al Moore allielamar@aol.com

Your g-g-uncle George F. Yager is son of Andrew Jackson "Jack" Yeager and Mary A. Martin, who lived in Leake County. Jack was killed in the Civil War. Their children were George F. b1854, Walter J. b1856-57, and Ella M. Yeager b1861-62. Jack had a brother Joseph who was on the 1850 Leake County census but died before 1860. Joseph and his wife Malinda had 4 children, one of whom was also named George Yeager b. 1852-53, but with middle initial W., not F. Joseph's widow remarried to John V. Smith before 1860.

I tried to get her birth certificate from the health department, but they said I'd need her parents full names and where she was born. My original birth certificate shows my birth father's name was Roy Leviet Jones. That's all the info it gives about him. I was born in Mobile in 1963. You can email me at rdf@cableone.net.

On Rootsweb.com researcher Barbara Tuttle has this family. She last did an update on this site 2001. Montague family came from VA prior to the Revolutionary War. Only one branch came to Alabama according to this research. Thomas Montague b. 18 July 1797 Cumberland County, VA, d. 21 September 1854 in Perry County. Married Sarah Daniels (a cousin) January 1821. They had 9 children and 3 were sons. Thomas Johnson who was born in VA and later left Alabama for Mississippi, John b. 1836 in Perry County and died during the Civil War 28 April 1863 Tullahoma TN, and last a son named Peter who was born in VA and came to Alabama as a child...nothing else is known about him. Thomas' family should be in the 1850 census of Perry County. In the DAR Patriot's Index there are 33 Montague patriots....most are in VA. The name Daniel/Daniels continues to appear very often with maiden names of wives and middle names of sons. I don't know how you connect. Hope this helps.
