There are three books that hve been published on the Lewis / Taylor / Howell connections.....they all tie from the Lewis bunch....One is called Lewis Kith and Kin.......I've never had the time to run off an entire book, and this is about what one would have to do to be able to sit down and go throught the entire connections......I don't know the names of the other two,but they are out there and tie these families together......I'm sure one would have this Howell Lewis in it....My great-great-great grandfather was Lewis Howell Daniel....mother was Elizabeht Lewis, dau. of James Lewis/son of Robt Lewis/son of Col Robt Lewis and Jane Merriwether Lewis(parents of Meriwether Lewis of Lewis & Clark Expedition Fame)........These all tie back to mose of those old VA families....Zachory Taylor....Fielding Lewis.....the connections to George Washington....even the Custis-Lee folks of Robt. E. Lee and Arlington Cemetery fame........Go to your library when you have lots of time because the ones I've seen were very thick.....I'm sure it would be there.

Hi all, on 22.Oct. Cathrine Seabolt made a inquery about John M. Herrod, from Yazoo Co.,Ms. I do not have anything on him, but I do have two Herrod women from that part of MS. Mary Herrod b.ca.1825 in Ms. married Bennett R. Allen 8/27/1840 in Hinds Co. (they lived in Madison & Attalia Co.s) and Elizabeth Herrod b. 9/11/1811 in Dickson Co., Tn m.1828 in Canton, Madison Co.,Ms. to John Braxton Allen. Yazoo Co., joins Madison and Attalia Co.s. The Herrods and Allens lived close to gether in Tn. and migrated together to Al. then Ms. The webpage from either Attalia or Madison Co. has a letter from Amos T. Allen, written after the Civil War that talks about the Allen's and Herrod's Happy hunting, Yates Calhoun

I have already written to him and he and mother have corresponded. He is related on her Downey side though, I don't know anything about his Jones line. I will have to ask if he knows anything. His parents were Downey and Addie Jones of Lacey. He has one brother John Downey Jones. His grandparents were James Monroe Jones b. 1852 and Clara Downey (1878-1959). His grandmother Clara was sister to Mom's grandmother Vinnie Downey Spencer. I had wondered if there was any connection to your Jones line since there didn't seem to be one from our Jones (Nathaniel Green Jones) ? Karen

Where did this major GREEN > name originate?

It may have been General Nathaniel Green of the Revolutionary War and for whom the city of Greensboro, NC is named. My ancestor was named Nathaniel Green Jones born in NC and settled in Drew County. In my research I have seen numerous Nathaniel Greens.

I cant remember if we ever solved this one or not, but in the 1971 special ed of the Advance, p 5, there is a photo of Jack Curry farm hauling hay. Located on Tiffin Prairie "five miles northeast of Monticello." that is where Beth said it probably was. Rebecca

Hello! The name Cloyd is not in my line but I noticed on GenForum when I was looking up something else. Here's the URL in case someone would like to go take a look-see: http://www.genforum.com/cloyd/ Jo-Ann bahai@netusa1.net Gen Research: Stephens, Lee, Conrad, Mahurin, Merritt, Long ...and don't forget to go see my kids at http://members.aol.com/indianabyw/arts.html

Davie, Just fortunate to have some ancestors of note that are easy to trace. If you ever find that you are related to our Wrights, let me know and I'll tell you about my famous Nisbet ancestors, including Murdoch Nisbet whose translation of the Bible is in the British Museum, one of his descendants who was Governor and lived in Edinburg Castle and John the Martyr Nisbet, another descendant........I might even tell you what his last words were on the way to be hanged......... if you are nice to me. :) Carolyn

Hi, Barbara, My apologies if someone has already responded to your questions...your e-mail was in my "to do" pile, so I am going to try to help! In the Drew County cemetery book (p. 276), there is the following info. on your grandparents: Hatley, Grover T. B. May 1, 1886 D. June 6, 1954 Hatley, Minnie Lee B. Dec. 12, 1891 D. Jan. 1, 1955 wife of Grover T. Hatley Since the 1890 census burned, the place I would start looking would be the 1900 Arkansas census SOUNDEX, if you know the families were in Arkansas at that time. "Hatley" should be under the Soundex code H340, and "Phillips" should be under P412. You should be able to find a Hatley family with a son named Grover, Tom, or Thomas, about age 14 in 1900. Then you should be able to find a Phillips family with a daughter named Minnie about age 8 in 1900 (the census was usually taken in the summer, so Minnie wouldn't quite be 9 years old when the 1900 census was taken.) Finding these families will give you the parents' names and birthplaces, and it should also give you some siblings for both Grover Thomas and Minnie Lee. To find out the most complete information, you'll want to look at the actual census record, not just the Soundex. The Soundex is just an index where you can easily find families with similar-sounding names. Luckily, the Soundex record will tell you exactly where on the actual census microfilm roll to look. Hope this helps! After looking at the 1900 records, you can go forward to 1910 or 1920 and find Minnie and Grover Thomas after they get married...or you can go backwards to 1880, 1870, etc., and start tracing their parents. Your local libary or Latter-Day Saints Family History Center should be able to help you in ordering the microfilms. If you are close to a regional branch of the National Archives, you can do all the census research quickly and easily, since they store all the census rolls on-site. By the way, to get the Soundex codes for Barbara's surnames, I used the SOUNDEX calculator at: http://www.frontiernet.net/~rjacob/soundex.htm --Melissa

Beth Thurman and James (Jimmy?) Jones, Once again I am trying to get all caught up on e-mail. The name "Jimmy Jones" caught my eye because my Uncle Earl Jones had a son named Jimmy. I think he lives somewhere in Texas now, but I am not sure. This Jimmy was a brother to Charley Jones (d. 1982), Billy Dean Jones who lives in Monticello, and Jackie Jones who was a state trooper down around Drew County somewhere. Other siblings are Marcelle Jones Trantham and Judy Jones (I don't know her married name). Just thought another Drew County "Jimmy Jones" was a neat coincidence. I have also found an "Earle Jones" in the 1920 census...too old to be my Uncle Earl, but I have wondered if there might be some kind of connection with our Joneses. Beth is right, our Joneses were in Possum Valley, so I don't know if we connect to any of the Lacey Joneses. Just thought I would follow up and see if we could find a connection! --Melissa Jones tsaritsa@ix.netcom.com
