Hi Peggy! Yes, I knew about the Montgomery connection to your GGGF, but because I lost a bunch of data earlier this year I would probably have to have been hypnotized to have recalled that he was one of yours - so thanks for the heads up.  I like to include those things in notes. We say it all the time, but I am constantly and repeatedly amazed at all the threads that lace us all together. Then - so many of us have found each other on this forum. WOW.

Just remembered -- WAR said Anna Martha was Presbyterian.  Of course, you know that by the church records. Peggy

I'LL print this out and next time I talk to Kermit, I'll ask him and make sure. They'll probably call me next week, or I'll call them, because I'm sending him a pkg today. I didn't know who his mother was until a few days ago and I see that it was Ida America (Merica) Moody. So, I printed someone's Moody file from Rootsweb and mailing that and some pictures from Hand to him. I'm finding Russell connections to LOTS of familiar names! I printed that Sarah Russell's page, too, and am sending it to him to see if he knows who she is. You may have it figured out. Sarah was only 22 years old--I thought maybe a daughter but I'll bet you're right, she was probably a wife. The age fits, for sure from marriage at 16 in 1896 and died at 22 in 1902. I noticed there are several unreadable Russell graves there. I wonder if the person who holds the main records for burials might have more names? Probably not, until after many had already been buried. Thanks, Vera Pat Foster PS Vera, did anyone ever tell you that you do an awesome job of genealogy???

He told me about his grandfather's 3 wives. The ones on Ancestry are not correct according to him. John Irwin (known also as J R) Russell first married Clemmie Holcomb. If anyone knows more about her, I'd appreciate some info. Some people have crossed the names of the first 2 wives. The second wife was Eva Hawkins. She had a young daughter when they married and she shows up in the 1900 census as a daughter, but Kermit is sure she is a stepdaughter. And, most people know of Ellie (Dunn) Payne with her 2 sons by Payne when she married Russell. Kermit remembers her and seems to have been fond of her. He has a funny story about Eva Hawkins. Says they didn't stay married very long. When J R threw her out he gave her a package of pins and that was all she got!! Appears he might have been a bit upset!

They'll probably call me next week, or I'll call them, because I'm sending him a pkg today. I didn't know who his mother was until a few days ago and I see that it was Ida America (Merica) Moody. So, I printed someone's Moody file from Rootsweb and mailing that and some pictures from Hand to him. I'm finding Russell connections to LOTS of familiar names! I printed that Sarah Russell's page, too, and am sending it to him to see if he knows who she is. You may have it figured out. Sarah was only 22 years old--I thought maybe a daughter but I'll bet you're right, she was probably a wife. The age fits, for sure from marriage at 16 in 1896 and died at 22 in 1902. I noticed there are several unreadable Russell graves there. I wonder if the person who holds the main records for burials might have more names? Probably not, until after many had already been buried. Thanks, Vera Pat Foster PS Vera, did anyone ever tell you that you do an awesome job of genealogy???

Check out Hand Cemetery now. Clemmy Russell . Martha Russell. Thomas M. Russell added full death date Do you have any dates to go with Sallie Russell's pictures ? While I drinking my coffee I've been playing. Maybe this might be of interest to you. Baxter Bulletin, Mountain Home, Arkansas dated June 16, 1939 T. M. Russell of near Hand age 82 is visintin his daughter Mrs Hardy Hand. He says if the dam is built it will cover most of his land, which he has lived on since marrying 55 years ago. (He died in 1940 didn't live to see the Norfork Dam)

Billie, New Hope is between Day and Wiseman. I am not a good judge of distance, I would say less than 10 mi from Wiseman. I had wondered how far from Wheeling, I was looking at the road map last week, and it is not far 'as the crow flies'. I don't know if there is a road directly between the two, as far as I know there isn't. There must have been one then. I was surprised to see that New Hope was so close to the Fulton Co. line.

Hey Wilma! Found the book online - http://books.google.com/books?id=JkURAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA287&sig=jbttNp8wvozPy13zG14DaQhla-w&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false I love books online. My computer chair is comfortable and the light is always right! Didn't know it until I lost my BIBLE cd. So easy to cut and paste everything you need for a study group. Saves wear and tear on those tissue thin pages. Stumbled across this book looking for William S. Moffatt - found him a few days before and couldn't get back to there again and started a new search. Found more than I bargained for - a real treasure chest (esp for what I am doing now). Still looking for the other book I found originally - gave more names of the preachers children. I admit I have nearly been obsessed with this. Years ago I read the Prosperity copy on Robert's site and knew my Montgomery connection. Just didn't get all the subtle hints it contains. I continued on my own little path adding every little scrape to my FTM. Now, having lost that big ole juicey FTM and rebuilding - I recall enough to place a higher value on what is in those records.

The above is an online book of only 500 pages. Some of you might find it of interest. It is laborious reading and sifting through to find names for the many initials. The initial findings include naming patterns of some of our folks probably come from these 2 books. Our ancestors held some of these men in such high esteem, they named their children for them. My own GGF, John Patrick Montgomery was named after one these ministers. Monroe Oates Montgomery is another name sake of an ARP minister. Nearly all these families hale from NC. Even if your folks came from AL, GA, KY, TN, MO, or IL - those families likely have NC ties. If your male kindred have Hemphill, Strong, Moffatt, Montgomery, Patterson in their names, suspect they are Scotts and Presbyterian. >From the inside cover of Prosperity record book it is clear the founding fathers wanted the organized religion and the church of their fathers. They sent for ordained ministers from NC. (Page 12 will give more rationale for this.) In all the minutes of formal meetings, the treasurers’ report includes funding for home and foreign missions. Erskine College in NC was (and still is) a major stepping stone for young men preparing for the ministry. I believe some of these mission funds went to help pay some of the expenses of missionary pastors and they brought with them students from Erskine College. This fulfilled their mission statement, gave the students realistic experience of what their future in the church could become and opened the possibilities of re-locating to places far from their home. It was probably like it is now too, safer not to travel alone. Erskine College is interesting in it’s own right (1837-now). The Erksine family of ministers (father and 2 sons) were Scotts bent of the reformation of the church. They were theologians and educators. No doubt they spread the belief to the subjects they mentored, to be prepared as both ministers and teachers. The Presidents of Erskine College historically are both professors and pastors of church too (that 3 jobs). Families from AL, GA, KY, TN, MO, or IL sent their sons there for college. If you have read Prosperity record and found some of your folks married into those other families, you have probably aware of the number of other allied families you are related too (like the Gleghorns and Gaults having 5 marriages within their families). These ARP ministers from Erskine College must have taken an oath to keep it in the family too. Preachers kids marry other preachers kids and widowed pastors re-marry widows of other pastors. These Scotts really held an allegiance to one another. I knew about checking church records for documentation but finding this book carries it to another level. There are 3 parts of this 500 page book. Last section gives bios of lots historic churches in the south and some in the west, but it is not all in alphabetically order. Be willing to skim around. Soo o o o . . . on one of these cold dark nights, might want to skim through the book and see what you find.

I don't know who Ancestry DNA testing is done by. Sorenson Molecular [ SMGF ] has some roots with the LDS and probably Ancestry. <quote from website> SMGF was inspired by discussions in 1999 between philanthropist James LeVoy Sorenson and BYU Professor Scott Woodward about using DNA in genealogy. <unquote> They are located in Salt Lake City. About the year above the LDS put out a call for volunteers to donate a "sample" and a four generation tree as part of a project to test the viability of genetic genealogy.
