Dear Barb, 'Tis the season! I'm doing better with my wonky knees, but not great. Hope you feel better soon. Love, Carolyn --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
Dear Marilyn, Leigh, and Cousins on the List, I am still in the process of formatting many to be uploaded over the next few hours. I had been at the computer so long I had to take a nap! They should all be working by tomorrow. Sorry for taking so long. Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn
Dear Cousins, I have put up a new Localities Summary page at the website. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Locsum/index.html Throughout the rest of the day I will be uploading the data pages which are linked there. There will be a similar page for Identity Summaries, even though they are also shown on the Localities Summary Page. I hope getting these up will provide prototypes for the various facets of the records and data pages as well as facilitate plowing through the data that Barb has mentioned. This should make it easier to understand some of the ways these approaches will ultimately straighten out some of the mis-matched identities and lineages. Just today I found one shown at Rootsweb, in which a Levi Pennington of Perry County KY was mis-identified in two of the World Family Tree lineages. They (World Family Tree) took the Levi Pennington, (Perry County, KY census, 1850) b. ca. 1810 and smacked him into the lineage of Levi b. 1822 who died at Vicksburg. (Son of Aaron). I hope we will similarly straighten out Cari's Indiana ancestors which are mis-identified because they have the same names as those in the Carolinas. I believe I have found a corrected identity for Lethe Beal/Bell who m. Thomas Pennington. I believe Lethe/Lethia has suffered the same fate as the above Levis. And I have some interesting new leads on the Ephraim descendants. Additionally, through studying the 1790 indexes, comparing them with the 1790 images available at Ancestry.com, then finding their locations on GNIS maps, I believe I've made progress in delineating various others in NW North Carolina. I've also discovered some names which I believe are Penningtons which previously may not have been identified as Pennington, and we will need to work on figuring out their true identities and positions. The key to this methodology is to use databases as units for storage and comparison, rather than relying on them to determine and link identities. This restores individual identity and allows careful re-placing these identities into other families and lineages only if the records indicate it. STAY TUNED TO THIS STATION FOR UPDATES! On a more serious note, please keep our dear cousins, Ric Blake and Donald Flowers in your thoughts and prayers. Both have had serious health changes and/or decisions recently. And please hold my small neighbor, Alexander, age 5, in your hearts and prayers while we wait for results of biopsies of his brain and spine. Love, your cousin, Carolyn --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
Hi Carolyn, A Happy New Year and Millenium to you and everyone on the list. I'm going thru a process of reorganization of my life, mind, files, and priorities. That's a big job. I was just thinking about the various lists I am on and what I want from each. I joined this list originally because I respect your work and gen philosophy. I want to make a couple suggestions that may or may not make sense to anyone but me. First, the scope of AMXROADS is somewhat daunting and I wonder if it could be compartmentalized with an increase of focus on specific areas. For instance, each surname with it's own spot (I'm referring to the website) and a database section, and a geographic section. Or something like that. I'm also wondering if it is possible for volunteers to do some inputting of databases that they have available. If I remember correctly, you did ask for submissions. I'm not sure how to do that from my terminal. I do have some original records that I could transcribe either for the list or to be used on the website, if I knew how to accomplish this. Can you or someone on the list who is computer-savvy give ideas on this? Thanks. Barb Temple
Dear Barb, and Cousins on the List: You wrote-- "First, the scope of AMXROADS is somewhat daunting and I wonder if it could be compartmentalized with an increaseof focus on specific areas.

Can you or someone on the list who is computer-savvy give ideas on this? Thanks. Barb Temple" YES! YES! First, -- yes -- I am overwhelmed with size of the project and have never gotten my information down to the smaller compartments. I hope to start downloading the first of some of the state-sized databases which will begin to satisfy the need for smaller "compartments." These can be added to by sending me whatever records which fit in. You can start a new "compartment," if you'd like by sending any records you've transcribed. This can be done in two ways. 1. Simply typing the records into a word processing file -- Microsoft Word is probably easiest -- and just sending it to me as an attachment on a regular e-mail to my personal address at cmacdee@teleport.com. Don't send it via the list!! Formatting depends on the type of record, of course, but even that can be rearranged if necessary. The thing to do is create the file in text-only, using a standard size font. So that a census record could be set up like this census index file, which portrays your Arad, and other families listed on page 21 with him is on the Pulaski County, KY index: 1830 PENNINGTON ARAD Pulaski KY 21 1830 BURTON BENJAMIN Pulaski KY 21 1830 GODSBY DANIEL Pulaski KY 21 1830 LOVALL DUTTON Pulaski KY 21 1830 BARNETT FRANCIS J. Pulaski KY 21 1830 PRATHER GEDION Pulaski KY 21 The spaces between are created by hitting the space bar rather than by using tabs and then saving the file as text-only. Then just attach it to an e-mail to me and send it off. I will upload it to the website. The same can be done with non-database information by just typing it as a regular file in Microsoft Word, as several have done with family information. 2. You can also just go ahead and put a database file together in Microsoft Excel to begin with, save it as a Microsoft Excel workbook, then simply attach it to an e-mail to me, just as you would a photo attachment file, or a Word file. Let me know what your data or information might be -- (this is where we can communicate and coordinate via the list) -- it is highly likely that I have already started a database on it and can incorporate it with what I have. The areas I am pledged to putting up for ALLl surnames of interest (for everyone on the List) are: 1790 census; the 1850 census and the 1880 census. I have a good start on the 1790 census and the 1850 census, and therefore just need to go ahead and put up what I have. I have a ton of additional census records and tax records, also extensive land records, and marriage records. (For all localities.) I would be most grateful for helpers to oversee the summarizing of the records and overseeing specific areas. If you (or anyone else) would like to volunteer for either a locality, or a Surname and its' Allied families that would be great! I would sure welcome it. Our Cousin, Mary Yarnall, has generously offered to help wherever she can, and I've got to figure out where to put her. She is very knowledgeable about Quaker records and Pennsylvania families, so that is likely where it will be. Cousin Kay Sayers has similarly volunteered. Cousin Cari -- too, but she is in the throes of the critical illness of her Mother and the care of her Grandmother. And others too, so for the moment, I need to know what individual interests might be, and what you would enjoy doing. The Kentucky land records will be up first -- by tomorrow!! As always, Barb, thanks for your suggestions and your help. Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn
Dear Cousins, I hope you all have survived the election, the holidays, and are happy and well as we enter either the first or the second year of the millenium -- that you are "wintering" well, as my Dad used to describe it! As for me, I have had a physically-challenged time of it, with severe pain in my knees which have been self-destructing for five or six years now. Also, there has been emotional pain, with a birthday that has challenged my mental health! I am back in school, and each day is a challenge there, with trying to concentrate on complex subjects which don't sit in a pain-filled brain in the ways I'd like. Challenged is the word for me right now. There has been no word on the scholarship (Dec 15 was their original date to notify applicants) I had applied for that would have encompassed American Crossroads' goals in developing and presenting new genealogy and history methodology via the internet. I am trying to plunge ahead, but my plunging doesn't seem to progress very quickly. American Crossroads is a year old. Goals that I originally had set for the site have remained essentially the same, except my ideas of how to accomplish them have gotten more specific, and I have certainly learned and progressed in web concepts and design. More important than the design concepts is the fervent belief that we are on the right track with our research methodology. As a restatement of some things and some new ideas, here is my "State of the State" Statement! First, pursuit of excellence -- we may not always reach perfection in our family quests, but we certainly can strive for excellence through following standards of excellence. The National Genealogical Society's website lists standards which are not only admirable, but are just common sense. This year from 16 to 19 May, We -- Portland OR, the Rose City -- will host the NGS National Convention! Y'all Come! I would love to meet you! The NGS website: http://www.gfo.org/ngs2001/index.htm 2. The List -- I have long felt that lists best serve the purpose of communication and networking, but do not really lend themselves well to exchanges of complicated lineages and data. This list is certainly not chatty, but I don't feel that is a big problem, especially since other lists seem to be having the same difficulties. Check in every now and then -- give a whoop! -- and let us know your interests and ideas. I have sort of used the list as a newsletter, and that seems to work okay to keep everyone informed about what is going on at the website, and things I find on the internet. The list should also promote our kinship with one another. I hope this can be developed more this year. 3. I want to develop a Library, or at least a Bibliography of works that will be helpful. These will likely end up in regional areas on the website. 4. During the next month I plan to start loading some of the databases I have been compiling over the last year. I keep wanting to get them finalized -- reach that perfection! -- and now it seems that I should just go ahead and share what I have collected and formatted. 5. Establishment of Native American pages and their history, families, and connections within the Perimeters. 5. Finally, the Format of the site will change somewhat to better reflect the Crossroads Regions and Perimeters and the information on hand. This will be the area where you Cousins can really contribute. I will have (for want of a better description) Biographies/Surname Study -- on each of the surnames of interest that we will follow through each of the Perimeters, and then within each surname, a family group with lists of interested researchers and participants and descendants. This is expanding upon what we have begun, for example, with the Levi The Quaker Study. For example: LOCALITY Mid-Atlantic Crossroads Sub-locality SW Virginia/NW North Carolina Perimeter A. HISTORY of the region -- Lists of Early Settlers, churches, roads, local issues, military involvement, etc.; Census indexes and lists, B. IDENTITY (History of the people) Surnames (and Variants) : Pennington, Beason, Beall, Pugh, Goad, Watts, McDaniel, Preston, Barnes, Sayers, Carter, Markham, (etc. etc.) (1.) Kinship Groups -- Interrelated families (You will see these begin to overlap and intertwine) (2.) Individual Families, i.e., Levi Pennington, The Quaker; (3.) Individual People -- Christopher Gist; Daniel Boone, William Preston, C. DATABASES and timelines that reflect and incorporate the records of all of these. The databases are not gedcoms generated from genealogical software programs! The databases are ACTUAL RECORDS, or indexes of ACTUAL RECORDS. The idea is to take a fact and work outward from it, developing information on each associated name, locality, and each bit of pertinent data. I will put up -- Tomorrow! Tomorrow! You'll love me Tomorrow! --some examples of what I have developed on Ephraim Pennington of York County, PA! Stay Tuned to this station! I will upload the information to the website and you will be able to follow the linkages and the logic. Also, this is all from the internet. I don't have much access anymore to original documents. Next, I want to rearrange the Levi The Quaker Study so it will be easier to follow and see interrelationships. I have databases to connect here, too, and several pages to add. Happy New Year! Let me hear from you! Welcome to our new subscribers!

Dear Cousins on the List; This morning I was sent an invitation to view a Holiday Celebration of Love written by Jean Brody, a columnist for the Winchester (Clark County, KY) Sun. The invitation came from a young former (college) classmate who left Portland in the summer to move back to upstate NY. Maggie is a dear, dear person whom I miss a great deal. This invitation meant a great deal, and I thought it was a wonderful idea to share with others, and also with those who don't have e-mail, and therefore, especially miss communicating with. http://www.winchestersun.com/Sun_Online/brody.html I took the online column which Maggie had posted for me and redesigned it so that it can be sent to my non E-mail friends. I have posted this to my personal website (without the commercial insertions at American Crossroads at Rootsweb) so that you can also print it out and mail it to your non E-mail loved ones. It can be folded in quarters as a regular card to be sent in an envenlope, or folded in half, stapled together, and sent newsletter style. You can also send it via e-mail by clicking on that option as you view the internet page. As American Crossroads approaches its First Anniversary this Christmas, I will be thinking of all of you at 9 PM (EST), on Christmas Eve, December 24th, as a part of a new kind of extended family circle, a new kind of kinship, and most especially as my dear new Cousins. http://www.teleport.com/~cmacdee/Holiday/index.html In addition to all of you, I will be thinking loving thoughts about Jean Brody, who dreamed and shared such a beautiful way to reach out to loved ones. I see American Crossroads as much the same thing.

AS OF JAN. 1 kaycyak@msn.com MERRY CHRISTMAS
Just a quick note wishing you a Merry Christmas jim
Dear Cousins on the List: I am finally getting unwound from school, and beginning my catch-up process. I would like to post a message I got recently after my posting of "The Directions of American Crossroads." I hope that in many ways this message, and my response illustrate one of the facets of my hopes and ambitions for American Crossroads -- the importance of intertwining generations of family through the new technologies we have. As we approach the holidays, I think this is especially worth emphasizing. We have a marvelous medium of interchange here, and mostly we use it to send jokes back and forth! That's okay! I got a couple of good jokes today! But also, I hope we can use the internet to network, share, and recreate kinship among like-minded persons. We don't have to be of the same lineage to be a part of one another. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to one and all, Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Hi, College Student par excellence! You have undertaken a dandy problem, and I wish you all sorts of success with it. One of my favorite "comments" is that I have learned far more American and European history from doing genealogy than ever I learned in school. When I began family searching 60 years ago, there was not much research information easily available. Still think I really, truly "lucked out" when I began researching my husband's family. Herewith a bit about that story. My lines had been well done, and published, by my family, and I wanted similar data about my husband for any kids we might produce. Soon after we were married, we went to the small Illinois town where my husband had been born, and where he grew up. There were still relatives about to whom I was introduced as the "new bride." I went to visit Aunt Sade, a sister to my father-in-law. She was a gem, a jewel, and one of the neatest people I ever encountered. She was the youngest in the family, and was taken out of school from the third grade to go to work to help feed the large family to which she belonged. So she was unable to read, or write. BUT -- W-H-A-T a memory she had!!! She knew marriages, births, dates, ancestry, etc., etc., etc. for almost everyone in the community (a town/village of about 1,400 to 1,500 people) She knew who married whom, where and when -- names of children, etc., etc. She could give you the history of all the land ownership in the village and surrounding county -- it was utterly amazing. And that data was the base for all the research I've done since. I have never found her to have been in error on any item she shared with me! Somewhere in her ancestral trail there must have been "a village rememberer" -- an individual who kept mental track of the way in which relationships of villagers existed (so fewer first cousins married each other), who owned which piece of property when, and who had it next, etc., etc. Sadie was a not so small a miracle, and it was a true privilege to have known her. Since I'm now in my 80's, I shan't be around as long as some other members of your research group, but will be happy to do whatever I can do or suggest which will help your program. I've always believed in good documentation (a science major in college, among other things, saw to that), and have never been afraid to say "it looks to me, but I can't prove it yet" about any genealogical data. Let me know how I may be of assistance in your endeavor. Best wishes, Mary >Dear Mary, This is such a beautiful commentary. I would like to post your message to the list (with your permission.) We have another octogenarian among us -- Cousin Isabel. It is wonderful to behold the vitality and intelligence that both you and she exhibit. It giives the rest of us hope about our future years and how to promote the same qualities in our own lives. Thank you so much for your kind comments and offer of assistance. I am especially interested in your Quaker and/or Pennsylvania lines, and once I have my finals finalized (!) I will be able to focus better on those research goals I posted, and begin finding ways we can put your expertise to good use at the website. Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn
Dear Cousins on the List, Rootsweb is moving some of its Lists from one server to another. AMXROADS is one of those which will be affected. The move will take place tomorrow (Friday, Dec from 7 AM (PST) and last about 10 hours. Mail on our list willl not be lost but will be delayed. Since we're not a very chatty list, I doubt if we will be very affected at all!

Dear Cousins, As most of you know, I am a full time college student, living in Portland, Oregon. (The World's Oldest College Student!) I am in finals week, and as usual am very far behind. However, I have just applied for a scholarship which will be awarded to a person combing computer technology with genealogy. I have proposed that American Crossroads is a suitable project. If you would like to see my ideas about the future directions of the website and list, I have put up my proposal for the scholarship at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Standards/schol.html I began the Website a year ago in frustration and reaction to what I felt was almost totally irrevelant and wasteful directions of a surname organization that I had attemptedto for several years guide in genealogical pursuits. The organization had put technological usage above traditional, ethical genealogy, and could not see beyond their noses how very poor their result was. The biggest problem of all was that they would not accept suggestions and criticism. Recognizing this, I heartily invite your own ideas, participation, and guidance in ongoing development of the website. I have a broad vision of what I would like to achieve, but it is not possible without your imput and help. Please let me know what you think, how we can improve, and always, how we can rekindle our ancestral ties within a new kind of family, through the internet.

Dear Bob and Cari, You folks will be in my prayers, and I hope your mother will have a speedy recovery. Even though we don't know each other on a personal basis, I still care deeply for all my cousins and fellow genealogists. with best wishes, Marilyn
Dear Cousins on the List: Our cousins Bob and Cari Bartley are dealing with the sudden, life-threatening illnesss of Cari's Mom, and subsequently the care of Cari's Grandmother. Cari's mother has survived, and is still hospitalized, and may remain so indefinitely. I hope you will join with me in all good wishes and prayers for our stricken cousins and their familiy.

Dear Cousins on the List: There are several ongoing projects at usgenweb.com Volunteers are busy copying records for inclusion, and you can view the various pages at http://usgenweb.com/projects/projects.html One of the most ambitious and helpful is the census project. A company has donated the digital copies and many counties and years, are now in the process of being transcribed. You can view what ones are finished, underway, or available for someone to transcribe. If you can volunteer your time to any of these projects, it would be a wonderful undertaking. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/ For those of you who have SW Virginia or NW North Carolina (and further on south) ancestry, you may be very interested in the wonderful website, Cherokee by Blood. This site has recently added an instruction to the Guion Miller Roll, which is the index to applications for enrollment. This site is part of the Tennessee usgenweb, and is maintained by Jerry Wright Jordan, who has done a tremendous service for searchers of Indian ancestry. Among others, there are many Pennington names -- I have not yet had time to check for other names. These rolls contain names of applicants; not all were enrolled. The application was given a number (of course!) and copies can be obtained from the National Archives. When searching any records like these, particularly in census records, remember to check for variant spellings. With finding aids such as the Guion Miller Rolls, most variant spellings will appear close together, but by checking really off the wall variants, i.e., Bennington, Denington, Rennington, etc., for Pennington, I have found names that would have otherwise been lost forever. This is much easier to do on a list, finding aid, or index than it is to do in a search engine where you must perform individual searches for each variant. I will be putting up Native American page at American Crossroads, and will be adding other names to the Pemberton, Pendleton, Penington, Pennington, Perry, Perdue, Perdew, Perkins names I have copied. http://www.tngenweb.org/cherokee_by_blood/miller.htm Once you have gotten through the instructions given at Cherokee by Blood you are ready to go to NAIL, which is the National Archives (NARA) Archival Information Locator. NAIL also contains information about other NARA holdings. If you have no Indian ancestry, or interest it it, you may still want to visit NAIL http://www.nara.gov/nara/nail.html Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Carolyn McDaniel cmacdee@teleport.com ========================================= --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
Dear Cousins on the List; Before leaving for God's Country for Thanksgiving (The Beautiful Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon) I got up two new pages at the website: Lists from Ashe County 1810 Census and Land Ownership Lists of the same period: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Ashe/census.html With this page and similar lists we can make comparisons of who was where in what periods and begin establishing and confirming identities from additional marriage, death, military records, etc. The initial Anson County page begins the same process there: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Carolina/anson.html It is increasingly clear to me that Bucks County, PA will play a very important part in determining origins and identities of many families who moved down the Appalachians. The early PA researchers especially Mary Yardley and Marilyn with their Quaker records) will play an important part of helping in this process, and we will want to work back and forth between the PA lineages and the southern ones. We need to take a record, determine its meaning in terms of the locality, the history and the names. Take a look at the names of officials in the Pennsylvania Archives for Chester, Bucks and Philadelphia Counties: Mitchell, Yardley, Canby, Isaac Pennington, Wells, Ennion Williams, Thomas Stevenson, Biles, Samuel Baker, Janney, Hampton, Craig, Hall, Hicks, Hart, Harrison, Preston, Chapman, Atkinson, Langhorne, Vandergrift, Francis -- These are just OFFICIALS -- yet look at how many Appalachian and allied surnames are listed here. Thank you Mary Y, for your kind offer! And thanks Linda for your kind comments -- We want to get going soon on your families! I hope(as I did) that everyone had had a blessed Thanksgiving full of friends, family, and love, as well as turkey and trimmings! Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn _______________________________________________________ Tired of slow Internet? Get @Home Broadband Internet http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
Greetings, Carolyn -- I don't belong in the Pennington group,but found it of interest that you're "digging" amidst Bakers and Williams. So am I, but mine are in Bradford Co., PA (north central PA on the NY border). The names are too common to research easily when the one you start with is the first one of the family in the county. Nevertheless, hunting is fun, and full of surprises! Mary C. Yarnell
Dear Cousins on the List: Happy Thanksgiving! I am going "home" to Eastern Oregon for Thanksgiving, and I am thankful that I have wrangled an invitation from some very dear old friends there, and will see my mother, and some of my other relatives -- my Aunt who had a stroke in the summer. Things are coming together in my mind on several deceptive families that have puzzled me for some time. Now I need to get my thoughts on paper and the supporting information up on the website. One family is the Beals/Bells, etc., which was allied in several ways with the Penningtons. This family makes a good study on how misidentifying someone in the line puts the research completely off track for many years. In April I wrote that there were two groups of Bealls, and now the research indicates that the part of the family linked to Penningtons was the Quaker bunch. It is quite clear once the family is researched, not just copied from one genealogy file to another. The others are the Baker and Williams families. Isn't it interesting that Marilyn was finding Elias Baker information at the same time I was! My great-grandfather, William Marion Pennington, b. 1852 in Ohio, was orphaned and raised by relatives. It appears that the relatives were Samuel and Rachel Baker. I believe Rachel was daughter of "1812 John Pennington" who was my William's grandfather. William's father was Marian Loveless or Lovelace Pennington, and likely brother of Rachel Baker. In the 1870's and 1880's these families were in Johnson County, Iowa and Frontier County, Nebraska, where Samuel Baker, b. 1803 is buried. I haven't found Rachel's place of death or burial. William Marion's mother is Emily Williams, b. WVA. I haven't identified her family, but it seems likely that she came from some of these other Williams who were linked over years to the Penningtons. There were two Williams families -- Paul and George --in the Hopewell and Sherranco settlements in Orange (later Frederick Co) Virginia, along with Abraham and Isaac. Richard Williams was a Quaker in the same area, and later is in the NW NC perimeter where so many Penningtons, Bakers, Beesons, Bealls, Bartons, Bransons, Hollingsworths, etc., are once again found. My Thanksgiving present to all NW NC Perimeter searchers: The chatty, informative, RICH History of Watauga County. It's a jewel! Mary, this has great Coffey information! http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/8473/Arthur/contents.html Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Carolyn McDaniel cmacdee@teleport.com ========================================= --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
Dear Marilyn, I can just feel your excitement! As I read your message I found myself sitting up straighter in my chair. What wonderful developments! Here's hoping we hear more of these success stories in the near future. They inspire me. Barb Temple
