I still mean to put this up on a page at the website so that people can see the need for accurate census interpretation is very great. Many of the names are misinterepreted, and one nearby your George is a Robert Livington which I think could be Pennington. I have more work to do to put it at the website, but I want you to have this information before your trip. >> Carolyn: I have heard from another researcher to my ggg grandfather and some of his info seems schetchy to me and some could be correct. As per Myrtle and George Morgan I will double check his info. I thought that when Geo. B. traveled west with the Greshom Lee family, and I am assuming that was a fact as he married Gershom's daughter in First Shelby Co. KY. This new researcher that has found me has several of the children born in KY. So this means that he did not live in Jefferson Co., IN soon after his marriage. He also has a son that is reported to be born in NJ, Madison Co., in 1810. Well, I have Jefferson Co., Special Journals that was printed out with records of varing yrs. One mentions a George Burton in Jefferson Co., helping others organize a Methodist Church in 1811. That is some fast traveling with a youngsters and a baby. Also reported that several of the older children were born in KY. So now I will check out those leads to see what I gain in records or not. He had some other very interesting info my my gg grandfather that will bear checking out. I have info on George B. that he does not have so we have much to share and discuss long distance as he lives north of Chicago. He has done nothing, the way his info reads, in the way of finding parentage. It has been several wks. since I contacted DAR a second time with more precise info and nothing from them as yet. The discussions on DNA are so interesting that I am going to wait till the last thing before I unsub from this list. My son just got laidoff his job so I told him he was accompaning me and I would not take NO for an answer. So he is going. Said he might get gurmpy at not looking for a job as he should be and I told him I would unceromoniously punch him in the face. What a look I got. But he is going and talks of our trip with a smile on his face now. Oh, for got to mention, new cousin said that Geo. B's Rev War Pension was paid out of PA for a while. That would seem strange if he was from VA or NC don't you think? Would that mean that he was living in PA prior to enlisting? I do love this list and enjoy all the posting from everyone. List members you are all great, even those that just sit and read. Some lists I still do that but they are lists that do just genealogy with the names, dates, places and very little history to speak of. To me that is what makes genealogy interesting to me. History that I can learn. History that is real and not printed by someone with his own slanted view of what history should be and glossing it up to make it intersting for the reader. Our list Lady is great also. Carolyn is just a dear person from the inside out. May the Great Spirit guide you and keep you in health and happiness. Beej
