Dear Carolyn and cousins, I have really enjoyed reading the postings to the American Crossroads site the past few days. I was so impressed by the one you did on searching for allied families. That has always been of great interest to me and it has "paid off" big time just in the past few days. Some time ago I posted a query to genforum on my Pennington line in Chester County, PA. I listed all the children of John and Lydia Pennington and their spouses. Lo and behold, last week I had a message from a man in Minnesota whose gg grandmother was a step daughter of Mary Pennington WAY. John Way had married first Eliza Hoopes and 2nd Mary Pennington. This wonderful man had inherited an old photo album of pictures of John and Mary, their children, and some of her step children, along with a couple photos of Mary's cousins. He is sending me copies!!! I can hardly wait. Margaretta Pennington Phillips (my gg grandmother) died when she was in her thirties, in the early 1860's and there are NO pictures at all of her. The best I have are pictures of her grand children. You can imagine my thrill of finally being able to get a chance to see what she may have looked like. Granted, this is her sister, but maybe they resembled each other. A big break through came about yesterday when another Pennington researcher and I found that her ancestor, Sophia Pennington Thompson, had a sister, Amanda, who married Elias Baker. Elias Baker turned up in Montgomery County, PA, in the 1920 miracode census and we discovered that he had a wife named Amanda. Turns out she was the one we were looking for. We had never been able to figure out who Sophia Pennington Thompson's parents were, she apparently died in Chester County, PA, and there were no records, no tombstone (so far), nothing!! Well the other lady wrote to PA state and asked them to see if there was a death certificate for this Amanda Baker. She received the copy yesterday and the parents are both listed. William Pennington and Eliza VanSandt. William was a brother of my Margaretta!! One has to really hunt sometimes to find the answers, but the search can pay off in so many important ways. Your cousin, Marilyn

Dear Carolyn, I'm not sure what you mean about putting up my lines at my page. What does this mean and how do I do it? Barb Temple

Yes' I do have, will get them to you soon. Love Mary

Hi Carolyn, It's been awhile. I'm one of those sideways researchers that you seem to be describing. I am fascinated by the whole picture that researching my collateral lines (and their collateral lines) can give me. It also can help me break thru some brick walls. For example, in my German line, I kept seeing the same man living near my Great-Grandparents Mathias Seifried and Eliz. Veit. His name was Michael Hofelich. My brick wall was trying to prove my Great-Grandmother's surname. I decided to take a closer look at Michael and found his Will. It was unusually rewarding even for a Will. He left a bequest to his niece, and he named her father and mother, Elizabeth (nee Veit). I thought i'd hyperventilate when i saw that. Our ancestors did not live in a vacumn so there can be good info in those collateral lines. Barb Temple

Hi Carolyn: Are you related to the Mitchell's are any of the ones that was killed at the Utah Mountain Meadow Massacre ? Or to Nancy Dunlap that married William Mitchell, Sarah C. Baker married Charles Roark Mitchell ? My g-g-grandmother Nancy Wyatt Mitchell was married to Sparell Edward Newton Burgess. They had two children that I know off, Rollin Burgess and Clara Burgess. I will stop here unless you need any info on any of them. Mary

Dear Barb and Cousins on the List; We have unlimited space at American Crossroads from Rootsweb to put up information in regard to the families we're researching. So far we have a PA oriented page that Marilyn has sent in on Dr. Isaac Pennington and one that Jim has done on the English Isaac Descendants from Isaac the Lord Mayor and Isaac the Quaker. We are doing the Levi the Quaker Study as a part of Mary and Leigh's lineages. We've just put up Cari's first pages on Hampton and Preston Pennington who went to Indiana, and allied lineages will be following. We will be putting up a Page (soon!) on the Sayers, Buchanan, Barnes families of SW Virginia (migrating to KY and MO) and many of my own lines fit into the SW Virginia and NW NC Carolina Perimeters: Markham, Watts, Smith, McDaniel, and so on (along with other cousins) which will be going up. Whatever fits into the Perimeter localities is welcome. As you said, these people lived together. Their rhythms and pathways merged into communities. We want to track them as related to one another, tell their stories, show the relationships through the documents we find and present here. There will be eight Crossroads, which divide up the US, and Perimeters within those are ones in which the families and history sort of fall together. I will cordinate the information and edit (only as to design) the information. Anything submitted remains yours, and will be presented on your own pages within the American Crossroads website. We will link and network with others based on records that document the linkages, rather than letting a computer generate the linkages by names alone as most of the genealogy software does. We're trying to get back to genealogy basics, but using the fantastic search and retrieval power for the internet to do it. You can send me any information, photos, or files you want included, as an e-mail attachment (not over the List, but to my regular e-mail). If you like doing page design, I'm really open to that too!

Dear Barb, Mary, and Cousins on the List: Mary, I'll look forward to getting those names and information.Thank you for your willingness to share. Barb, I was going to say you're lucky to have some unusual names, but, sometimes figuring out how they were Anglicized is sure agonizing. I guess persistance pays, is the answer for all research. Barb, I would like to put up your lines and information on your own page, -- we're going to be spreading into Kentucky here before long, Also Linda, and Janice!! And Patsy, I've been finding surnames (Testerman) that are probably your lines. Let us know what we can do to connect your lineages. I'm getting all my AMXROADS Christmas wish lists together, and of course, I need (as always) to go back and fill in the spaces -- there are still a ton of Philadelphia Perimeter pages and databases to be formatted and put up.

Dear Mary and Cousins on the List: I don't know about those names in my family -- yet! But many of the original Mitchells came from guess where? -- Cecil County and the Philadelphia Perimeter. The Burgess family was of Pennsylvania and Maryland originally too. Some of the Pennsylvania ones were Quakers and married into Quaker Daniel Pennington's family. Roark is a name we're encountering in all directions as we circle out from NW North Carolina. I think Cousin Cari has some Roarks. Do you have a full list of these connections to the Utah Mountain Meadow Massacre ? If so, we will put them up on your Page, and include the connections in this new Index I'm trying to get together. Thanks for mentioning these, Mary.

Dear Cousins, Some years ago when I would accompany several friends on a fun-filled evening at the local LDS Family History Library I was always surprised that when we reassembled for the ride home, most would remark that they hadn't had much luck, or "I never find anything when I go." I always found TONS of stuff. Invariably I had more information than one floppy disc would hold. Each time I heard someone say they only researched their direct line, I would remark (again) that their ancestors were nonetheless the same for them as their distant cousins, and if they couldn't find information in their direct line why not look for associated lines or allied families? Now that we have the wonderful facilities on the internet, in a few hours of prowling, you can find your ancestors by looking up people who are not your ancestors. This is how I started today. 1. I found a Revolutionary War Pension file for Morgan Brown posted on the usgenweb.com archives. Now, I have neither Morgans nor Browns in my lines, BUT, Sarah Brown Markham is my cousin Claire's ancestor, (mine is Eady Markham who married Thomas Watts) and of course the name Morgan is connected from Pennsylvania to SW Virginia and NW North Carolina to the rest of the world. Besides, I like reading about the people of this time. 2. Morgan Brown was born in Anson County, NC in 1753 or 58 (given as each in different places -- possibly a typo.) His birth and death dates are given in the pension file along with names of some of his children, and grandchildren his wife's maiden name (Elizabeth Little). There are many other details here, including the places where he lived after the revolution. The file is a good example of the wealth of information obtainable from pension files. Morgan Brown died at Nashville, in Davidson County, TN. His pension file was copied and sent in by Sue Skay Abruscato sueskay@pacbell.net and is at ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/davidson/military/brown01.txt 3. Next, I looked at a pension file for Elias Baker. The unlovely ubiquitous names Baker, Davis, Williams, Carter, Smith are some of my primary interests in my families. All seem to be named William or John or Sarah, but I decided to look because of the locality. This Elias Baker served from Rowan County, NC. This Elias went to Elbert County, GA to Franklin County, GA to Madison County IL to Gwinnett County, GA. His wife was Sarah Holebrook, daughter of John. Then I find Elias was born in Baltimore County, MD in 1760. The next thing, I am encountering names that were all around my Pennington/Pembertons and Bakers who lived in Baltimore Co. Burgess, Frizzell, Williams, Sewell, Dorsey, Beall!! I started looking up files on the Rootsweb and Ancestry and I found a ton of information on this Baker family, including the name of Indemion Baker, who was in Baltimore County with my families, and also a Richard Williams had signed a document. Connected with an early Charles Baker is a deed reference with Thomas Preston Sr. in Baltimore County. I've found about ten names of researchers who are undoubtedly connected to my Pennington family. This Pension file abstract was submitted by Stevenson who did not include his e-mail. You may view the file at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/nc+index+6265693 77548+F 4. Now nearly overcome with success, I also found details on a Paul Williams who died in Berkley Co., SC (a Paul WIlliams and a George Williams were granted property at Sherrando and Hopewell along with Abraham and Isaac Pennington in the 1730's. AMERICAN CROSSROADS http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Migrations/virginia.ht ml 5. I'm just getting greedy now, and find the Last Will & Testament of Edward Stoxdale. (1779) Baltimore County, Maryland. Names encountered: Griffith, Parrish, Williams, Davis. A Stocksill was in Christopher Gist's company -- see my transcription at: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Gist/company.html Christopher Gist lived in the same Baltimore Co. area as the Penningtons at one time. (Also on the Gist list: Burgess, Stewart, Little, Saunders) This will was submitted by Bob Reynolds at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/md+index+4306970 935+F While looking back over my migrations pages, I see an Andrew Hampton, who now leaps out at me because of Cousin Cari's family names Hampton and Preston! So what's the bottom line, Dear Cousins? I have about 500 leads to follow up with clues too others I've had suspicions about, and you can do the same. The internet is an incredible tool if we can only learn how to utilize it properly. I am putting together some index pages where we will enter the name, the migration paths and the elemental information about each person. These in turn will link to the perimeters where the person's information fits so you can access information similar to the above. This is how I spend my time instead of watching football or writing past due papers for school! Or even getting up pages at the American Crossroads website that connect all of these leads! Welcome to several new Cousins! Write to the list to let us know your research interests and how we can help one another. Come! Let us reason together! Let us communicate! Let us network, even if it's just during half-time!

Dear Jim and Cousins on the List: First, thanks for the thanks! I like those. I have been looking over the things you had put up about your family, and am getting the initial page ready -- which I'm behind on. Of course! I want to commend you on what you put together. You have a great beginning, with information referenced. People who have been searching a long time couldn't have done better. I am putting together census indexes and am copying information available on the internet for the various families. I rarely have the time (or money -- especially the money!) to do on the scene research any more. But I have found a couple of other things which, as they come together, will be helpful, I think. The first is the 1830 Harlan County Census. So often people only copy off the information on their own lines and ignore who else is there. But the information can take on real relevance when compared to other families -- back and forth -- over time. There are several Coldirons on the 1830 Harlan Census, even though by that time, your Aaron had moved to Clay. You will probably want to incorporate these into your Pennington time lines, which you've set up nicely. I'll e-mail you the 1830 Harlan Census, since we can't include attachments on the List. I have put together several NC databases for Ashe and Rowan and Guilford, etc. in the NW and will be putting those up --oh! one of these days! :) Additionally, I am very interested in your Goforths -- or any other line which we can track from the Philadelphia Perimeter southward and westward.

Dear Cousins! I don't know how this page has eluded me -- I found it on a Connecticut page that also had a link to "The Organ Trail" and almost didn't look at the other links! This page is wonderful! It is for the Wilderness Road Regional Museum, owned and operated by the New River Historical Society. They have regional documents, biographies and family files (the Crocket Family has a court document in which Robert Sayers and Jno T. Sayers were members of the court.) I believe this refers to my cousin Claire's Crockett Family and her Brammer family is there too. (Later Wayne County, KY and then Johnson Co., MO) Photographs, lots of neat stuff. Have a look!

Thank you Carolyn! I appreciate all your efforts! I have just finished another story about another Pennington grandfather and grandmother. It actually centers around the wife's life during and after his death. I have found stories about our woman ancestors few and far between. Lucky for me that a grandchild years ago took the time to write it down and pass it along for others to keep safe. Cari in CA P.S. What is the best "invite" page to use for this list? I have gained 3 "new" cousins the past couple weeks, and would like to pass the info to them.

Dear Cari, and others on the List, Thank you for your help and comments. The American Crossroads "home page" is probably the best way to "invite" people. It has a brief introduction to some of our aims with the site, and also gives directions for subscribing to the list. It has a link to the site map, but the sitemap badly needs updating, for it doesn't have the new Levi and Carolina Perimeter information on it yet.

Dear Cousins, Cari has submitted two wonderful records regarding her ancestors who left NW North Carolina and went to Hendricks and Clinton Counties in Indiana. We coordinated all day yesterday and the pages look great. Take a look at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads/Cari/preston.html There will be additional pages, a resource page, and links to various helpful websites. When I started looking over Cari's informaation I started looking up other data, and the next thing I knew a whole bunch of time had passed and I didn't accomplish the other uploads I had hoped to finish as well. But, I think you will find many interesting results in actual, confirming, data and facts about many of your Carolina Perimeter families ... when I finally get them up! Among other things I found yesterday, a 1850 census record for an Old Ephraim Pennington, b. ca. 1769 in North Carolina. One of the goals of American Crossroads is having ALL the 1790 and 1850 Census records for ALL surnames in ALL Perimeters. We will undoubtedly confirm or disprove many relationships when this is accomplished. Happy Belated Birthday to Cousin Cari (Nov 9) and to Cousin Kay (Nov 11) and to my Mother, Sylvia McDaniel (Nov 2). We won't go into nasty details like what year!

Dear Cousins, Where to begin with multi-generations of people with the same names. Uncles, Cousins, Fathers, Grandfathers -- how do we begin to determine which is which? The great historian Henry Adams (descendant of two Presidents) decided that he would begin at a perfect point of unity in history and work forward into the 20th century with its great multiplicity. He picked the period between 1150 and 1250, which he noted was when the Mont Saint Michel and Chartres (two of the greatest architectural wonders of the world) were begun. Adams' theory of history is based on the second law of thermodynamics. Words like thermodynamics scare me, so essentially the 2nd law as applied to history means that it keeps getting broader and broader and finally dissipates altogether in a great 4th of July rocket burst of glorious sky-filling color. We can easily compare this to the present-day family historians' gedcom dilemma: As increasing numbers of persons are incorporated into these gedcoms, facts lose meaning, uncles replace sons, mothers marry sons-in-law. The widening gyre! The center cannot hold! I encountered this phenomena about ten years ago with information about my Maryland families, and sought, within a surname organization, to find answers where there were none. The surname organization could neither provide solutions, nor correct the problems they had created themselves. They decided to make bigger and better gedcoms until they had nearly 70,000 names in a massive computer mess. So where do we go from here? The answer is not to create massive lists of names, but to begin with a fact, work out from that fact and add not names, but identities and facts to the information one knows to be accurate. The Mont Saint Michel was not built in a day, and it will endure. I have slept there! We have begun this new process with Levi "The Quaker" Pennington. We can do the same with each piece of information we find about each ancestor. We must treat these people as individuals not as the progenitor of 5,000 descendants. There seems to me to be some great discrepancy in Levi's identity, and I believe it comes from somehow confusing Levi with Levi Jr. and Levi III, then compounding it by confusing who Martha b. 1714 was married to. This study is meant to educate, and re-educate each of us in using primary information to determine identity. You may have no interest in the lineage of Levi the Quaker, but you can learn a great deal if you participate -- or at least follow -- the process of re-establishing his identity. The process will include records on your own families, because almost all of us come (in some degree) from people who lived in the cricks and hollers of SW Virginia and NW North Carolina, and THEY came from the Delaware Valley. Indians were the only people born in Kentucky or Ohio or Missouri in the early 1700's. In the process of re-identitying Levi The Quaker we will begin re-identitying our own displaced, misnamed, blotted-out ancestry. These pockets of information do not fall into easy county or even state defined areas. That is why I have established the perimeters. In every area where state and counties had confusing beginnings or boundaries were contested, there is naturally confusion with the residents. This happened with every frontier: Both DE and NJ were first part of PA. In the Cecil Co., MD/Chester Co., PA area -- the whole border was 40 miles off until the 1730's, affecting the Nottingham Quakers and others living in that area. In Western PA the border counties were disputed by Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Further down the road, Kentucky was Virginia. North Carolina was Virginia. On and on. Relying on where early people say they were born is an iffy thing. My Alfred Watts was never sure on any census whether he was born in KY or TN. TN was Kentucky! Now the point of this is: Get hold of a fact about your ancestor. Examine it. What does it mean? What does it help you determine about him? Sometimes the facts come from a generation or two before or after him. In the Levi study, we have taken what is known about Levi and we have tried to work outward from it. The information is from other researchers and we have remained within the framework of that information. Now we must start evaluating the information we have gained on our own and start re-integrating our own picture of Levi. We can do that by eliminating iffy and incorrect information as we go along. I will start putting up some FACTS today for you to ponder. Also, we will begin several new Cousins' Pages. I hope finally to get up Cousin Leigh's Page, along with Cousin Cari in CA, Cousin Jim, and Cousin Ric. As we start putting DATA together, please re-think how to make references. Saying something came from the census is not a reference. Nor is giving the IGI (the master files of the LDS or Mormon Church) a reference. The IGI is not a fact; it is not data: it is information sent in by LDS members on people they have researched, and some dates and names have been copied from the census and county records. The census is not a fact, although providing the copy of the enurmeration would be. And on and on. We can use all of these things as a basis of searching further, but they are not references. I have found references to Carolyn Co., VA: flattering in some obscure way, but Caroline is correct. Another is Albermarie for Albermarle, county home for Thomas Jefferson. And spelling Boutetourt correctly challenges me, too! Last week in a message board I found a woman who gave her ancestor's name as FNUK LUNK. I shook my head and went on to the next message thread, where she acknowledged (embarassed) that she had copied her computerized gedcom's acronym for "First Name Unknown" and "Last Name Unknown." Dear Cousins, we have met the Enemy and he is US! I believe computers have brought us to Henry Adam's prediction of historical dissipation. Yet I can find more information on the internet in a day than what would have taken years the old way. We must begin to restablish what is correct, and we can publish it on the internet at the American Crossroads website. Participate! Give cousins our Website and List address! Help us revitalize this process! Come, let us reason together! Communicate! Network! Help! Pass this message on instead of one of those chain letters!

Dear Cousins, Ancestry has just put up the York county Wills -- free for ten days. The only Pennington/Penington (I checked for both) will has this Ephraim with a son Timothy. This is a BIG deal -- yet no one seems to haave ever pursued who this Ephraim connects to and who connects to him, and how. I'm not going to be able to follow up on these until later today, so dig in! There will be a Susquehanna River Perimeter at the web site -- or something like that --for the people who moved west (and north) of Philadelphia. They are very pivotal. Pennington Name: Ehriam York Borough Date: 26 Jan 1815 Proved 1 Feb 1815 Remarks: Ehriam Pennington. Jan. 26, 1815. Executor: George Haller. York Borough. Wife: Lydia Pennington. Children: Timothy, Mary wife of John Stoner, Elizabeth wife of Joseph Wampler, Susanna wife of George Haller, and Lydia wife of Robert Hays. Note that there two dates for a will -- the date it was written and the date it was proved. There are no witnesses given in this abstract -- I don't know if Ancestry left them out -- or the transcriber -- but they are important. Witnesses were often near friends or relatives.
