Never know where a search may lead. Trying to trace some names found this when I was looking for Presbyterian ministers. I've lost so much on FTM I was really tickled to find this one. Some how I know he will be related to my GM - Nettie Lee Milligan Montgomery.  Her line thought every John should have a father, brother and son named John. LOL Marsha John Milligan was ordained by Arkansas Presbytery in 1830. "About the year 1818 John Milligan, a young beardless boy, about 18 years old, wandered west from Wheeling, Virginia, and took up in the Valley of White River. He had been brought up to the tanner's trade and was a fair English scholar. He stopped in Lawrence County and married Eda Ragsdell, a young lady of the Jeffery family. Young Milligan started drinking and the young couple were soon disagreeing and they parted. He acted badly and strolled away, but after sometime he took sick high up on White River and almost died. As soon as he could travel he started back to the "girl he left behind him." He got as far as Jehoida Jeffery's on White River and tried to borrow a horse to go home on. He received a severe rebuke for his conduct, but failed to get a horse. So Milligan started on foot, sick and blinded with tears. He was scorched with fever so he lay down by the side of a dim path, at the head of what is known as the Two-mile branch, in a thick cedar brake to die. In this forlorn condition he made vows to his God, which we have heard him assert in his old days he never allowed himself to depart from. He went back to his wife, set him up a tan yard, and went to work. He joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and went to preaching. In his old age, he was a rich man, with a large household and one of the ablest ministers in White River Valley. The late rebellion found him a very old man, his wife and one half grown boy at home, and a host of grown sons out battling for their country under Dixie's flag. Early in the year 1864, while the demon's hell seemed to reign in great triumph all over this country, this old man and woman and their boy sat round their winter fire at night, when four young men abruptly thrust themselves into the room with cocked pistols presented in his face. Showing no alarm at all, the old man remonstrated with such logic that they turned from him to the boy, threw a skillet in the fire; as soon as it was red hot they stripped the boy's feet and swore they would burn them off to the knees if he didn't show the money. The old man bore it until he saw his boy's feet almost in the sparkling vessel and heard his screams, when he told them to hold. He then took a light and showed them where to dig in a stable. They dug up a vessel of gold and silver money. The old man asked them what kind of an excuse they would render at the bar of God when they got there. They snatched the bucket, blew out the light, and ran away in the dark. The old man died soon after, believing he recognized the four of the robbers, and communicated his belief to his friends. John Milligan has served as member of the Legislature from his county. He was an exemplary citizen and his life teaches the great impropriety of wholly discarding youth, although they be in error.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE. Wish I could be there with the coffee pot between us, yakking up a storm. I'd also have a big hug for you. I'm sure the girls and families will help make this a very special day for all of you. Enjoy and know many of us are thinking of you. Big HI to Ed also. Of course I can never forget your birthday. This is our wedding anniversary - 58 years ago today. Wow, I can't believe it's been that long. Of course when I look in the mirror I know very well its been at least that long! And yes we also have been so blessed. Just think last fall I wasn't even certain we would be able to see our 57th, and here we are a year later. God has been so good to us. Eastle is up walking, dancing a couple of nights a week (so am I). His back is good considering all he's been through, so we have no complaints. Everyone have a good day. Our snow as stopped, but we still have plenty on the ground. Kept me awake last night, it was trying to melt and come off the roof. It can be quite loud at time folks.

Blacksmith, farmer, weaver, judge, some turored for a fee--once lost in time, now all RECORDED IN THE FAMILY TREE.  To some it's just a hobby, to Grandma it's much more.  She learns the joys and heartaches of those who went before.They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept--and now for you and me, they live again in SPIRIT AROUND THE FAMILY TREE.  At last she's nearly finished, and we are each exposed.  Life will be the same again, this we all suppose.  Grandma will cook and sew, serve crullers with our tea,  We"ll have her back, just as before that WRETCHED FAMILY TREE. Sad to relate, the preacher called and visited for a spell. We talked about the Gospel and other things as well. The heathen folk, the poor, and then--TWAS FATE, it had to be--somehow the conversation turned to Grandma and THE FAMILY TREE.  We tried to change the subject, we talked of everything,but then in Grandma's voice we heard the old familiar ring.  She told him all about the past and soon, twas plain to see, the Preacher, too was neatly snared by GRANDMA AND THE FAMILY TREE.                         Hope you enjoyed this.  Glenna G. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ARIZARD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ARIZARD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone was warm today while you did shopping either in the stores or, like me, online! Does anyone have/know about Kermit's sister, Vern? She might have been married to a Lewis (that's surname). That's how she is listed in Keith's obit--Vern Lewis. I talked with them today but didn't think to ask him for her info. Louise was concerned about the sudden death of Jeanette Hall. But, they did get hold of her obit. Kermit was 87 yesterday!! 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! Keep warm--we may have flurries in the next day or so. Pat Foster

Cleora Helen {KING} ROBERTSON wrote the following about Burnt School Cemetery: Way back before my parents were married [1887], the log school building near cemetery - my parents went there (what they got to go) burned down.  Hence name. Rebuilt a very nice one-room, built of good lumber, painted white outside, homemade seats and desks.  Teacher's desk.  When I was past -- what age I do not remember -- I got up pupils enough nearby.  Our School District, No. 27, had been dissolved as there were too few pupils -- joined to Advance School District (formerly Helvy Springs).  I was teacher -- called subscription school. We were getting along fine.  One married man* who lived nearby was one of pupils.  He was learning to read and spell.  That was very difficult for him. One cold day the wind was blowing strong.  Roof was dry and getting old but didn't leak.  House roof near flue (metal flue) burned.  We rang the bell for help.  One boy** climbed up on top -- knocked boards off.  They caught others on fire.  We got few benches out and away went our school building. Even went there to Sunday School one spring and summer -- and many good Church of Christ revivals.  Still is named Burnt School Cemetery. Since then, community made up money -- built a small one-room building in north side edge of cemetery -- place to keep tools inside.  Wood heater stove.  The bell from the burned building.  We made up money before the building burned during sale of box supper.  Then got the bell.  The house lately has been sealed inside with wallboard and painted.  Hold funerals in this building.  The ground squirrels have gnawed holes in wallboard.  This year -- have been a community -- writing to people away from here and for funds to re-fence cemetery ground and to repair building. Eliza's grandparents, Buck and Peggy KING, Lewis KING's Alabama wife are buried there.  Someone put hewed sand rocks, two layers high, around three graves.  We took Eliza FARMER there one Sunday p.m. last year.  This Alabama wife was Webster KING's mother.  Webster is half-brother to Eliza. *According to Mary Gertrude {PERRY} (my mother), married man was Allen AVEY, whose wife was Maggie SANDERS, dau of Bill SANDERS, whose family lived in Leatherwood Mountains -- not Maggie who marriied Charles Oliver KING. **Boy who climbed onto roof was my father William Henderson KING.

Hi Glenna: My son will be in Israel in mid-Dec for two weeks. Hope it will be safe, too. Really enjoyed your poem - have it saved in my computer and will share. Thanks.

I am excited for her to get to go there , but have been on pins and needles all week--she will be home next Wed. I know she is having a wonderful time. I found this poem while I was looking thru some genealogy stuff, thought you guys might enjoy it. It is kinda long, so may have to do it in more than one part. GRANDMA CLIMBED THE FAMILY TREE There's been a change in Grandma. We've noticed as of late,she's always reading history or jotting down some date. She's tracing back the family. We'll all have pedigrees. Grandma's got a hobby, she's CLIMBING THE FAMILY TREES. Poor Grandpa does the cooking, and now, or so he states he even has to wash the cups and dinner plates. Well Grandma can't be bothered, she's busy as a bee, compiling genealogy for THE FAMILY TREE. She has no time to baby-sit, the curtains are a fright; no buttons left on Grandpa's shirts; the flower bed's a sight. She's given up her club work, the serials on TV, the only thing she does nowadays is CLIMB THAT FAMILY TREE. The mail is all for Grandma, it comes from near and far. Last week she got the proof she needs to join the DAR. A monumental project--to that we all agree, a worthwhile avocation-TO CLIMB THE FAMILY TREE. She wanders through the graveyard in search of date and name. The rich, the poor, the in-between, all sleeping there the same. She pauses now and then to rest, fanned by a gentle breeze, that blows above the FATHERS OF ALL OUR FAMILY TREES. Now some folks came from Scotland, some from Galway Bay, some were French as Pastry, some German all the way. Some went on west to stake their claims, some stayed there by the sea. Grandma hopes to find them as she CLIMBS THE FAMILY TREE. ( next part follows.)
