Here is what I have: Norris, James Family: Marriage: 1855 Spouse: Bastin, Amanda J. Birth : 2 Jan 1841 (or 8 Sep 1841 according to Pearl Bastin Herring) Death : moved to TN bef 26 Jun 1855; married at age 14 Parents: Father: Bastin, William C. 'Billy' Mother: Dickerson, Sarah A. 'Sallie' The ATWELL connection is back a little ways. William C. Bastin's father was William B. Bastin. William B. Bastin had a brother named Thomas Bastin, Jr. Thomas Bastin Jr married Mary W. Atwell. Thomas Bastin Jr and Mary W. Atwell Bastin had a daughter named Martha B. 'Patsy' Bastin. Martha married Richard Atwell. Now, I know that Richard Atwell and Patsy Bastin were cousins. But, this is where the known connections stop. I don't know who Mary W. Atwell Bastin's parents were, nor do I know for sure who Richard Atwell's parents were either. Bastin, Martha B. 'Patsy' Birth : ABT. 1815 Caswell Co, NC Death : Richard & Patsy were cousins; went to MO after 1850. Parents: Father: Bastin, Thomas , Jr. Mother: Atwell, Mary W. (Wayson?) Family: Marriage: Miller Co, MO Spouse: Reed, Thomas Family: Marriage: Jan 1836 in Barren Co, KY (07 Dec 1835 Marriage Bond) Spouse: Atwell, Richard Birth : ABT. 1813 Green Co, KY Death : 1853 Miller Co, MO Children: Atwell, Phebe Birth : ABT. 1837 Barren Co, KY Atwell, Lewis H. Birth : ABT. 1839 Barren Co, KY Atwell, Mary E. Birth : ABT. 1841 Barren Co, KY Atwell, James B. Atwell, Martha J. Birth : ABT. 1846 Barren Co, KY Atwell, Thomas J. Atwell, Hannah Can anyone identify Richard Atwell's parents or Mary W. Atwell Bastin's parents? (And, in your Norris research, have you found any descendants for James Norris and Amanda Bastin Norris?) (Details on these, and other ATWELL, BASTIN family ties are on the BASTIN Family Website at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/9714/ if anyone wants to check for relatives :-) -- Gary Bastin

Does anyone have info on an ATWELL lady being married to a John NORRIS, possibly in VA or KY? The time would've been ca. 1820? He was born in 1807 and married in 1829, however, he had children at the time of this marriage. Family tradition tells of an ATWELL/NORRIS union of some sort, but we have not been able to prove it. TIA, Lynne Norris

Thank you!!! > > > Mike Gambill CPAJMg@AOL.COM Hi Mike, Some of the ATWELLs from a little further south in KY, around Metcalfe, Barren, and Hart Counties, KY, migrated from Caswell County, NC between about 1810 to 1830. Mary W. Atwell Bastin, who was married to Thomas Bastin Jr, lived in these areas. She was born in Maryland on 17 Nov 1780. Although I have found several 'known' ATWELL relatives for her, I have not been able to identify her parents. She died 26 Jan 1852 in (now) Metcalfe County, KY. A daughter of Thomas Bastin Jr and Mary W. Atwell named Martha B. 'Patsy' Bastin married Richard Atwell. I know Richard and Patsy were cousins, but don't have any kinship details. Their marriage was in January 1836 in Barren County, KY. Richard and Patsy Atwell went to Missouri after 1850. Patsy later married Thomas REED in Miller Co, MO. Richard was born in ABT. 1813 in Green County, KY. Patsy was born in ABT. 1815 in Caswell County, NC. Do you know where your Joseph Atwell was born, or any of his siblings names? -- Gary Bastin

Looking for the family of Rebecca Rosetta ATWELL. According to census reports, she was born about 1830 in Indiana. According to the IGI, she married (1) Brice MILLER in 1845 in Montgomery County, Ga. According to Ancestor File, he was a son of Asa and Sarah (BATSON) MILLER. They had one child, Amanda MILLER, born abt 1849 in Louisiana. By the 1850 census, Rebecca Rosetta was a widow, and she and daughter Amanda were living next door to Asa Miller in Sabine Parish, La. Rebecca Rosetta (ATWELL) MILLER married (2) my great-grandfather, Isaac Suttle EAVES on 18 Sept. 1851. The wedding took place at the home of Asa MILLER and witnesses included Davis and John MILLER. Isaac and Rebecca EAVES had five children, including my grandfather, Abel Lewis EAVES, before she died in about 1863 in Trinity County, Texas. Janey E. Joyce, San Antonio, Texas jejoyce@texas.net

I am seeking any information on Joseph Atwell of Meade County, Ky, city of Brandenburg. He was born approx. 1786 and died???

If anyone has any info on this individual I would deeply appreciate any input out there. Thank you!!! Mike Gambill CPAJMg@AOL.COM

A Quick Note on Mail Attachments, HTML, Rich Text Fonts, etc.: Rootsweb, our host, is in the process of adding a SmartList hack that blocks file attachments (including VCARDS), HTML messages and enriched text postings. Just plain ASCII will be all that will be allowed through RootsWeb in the near future. This note is to let you know how it will work. When a poster sends something to a mailing list written in HTML, or with an attached file, the list server will send the poster's message back to them, with a note at the bottom explaining the plain-text requirement at RootsWeb. For turning the html or styled text off in various email programs, check out the following site. http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm We have generally not had any problems with this in the past. However, Outlook, and many other mail programs now default to HTML, which _will_ activate the new filters. Check out the URL mentioned above if you change Mail programs, or if you haven't yet turned off the fancy text options in your e-mail program, to avoid any bounced posts in the future!

Hi I'm looking for the parents of Joseph ATWELL born 1819 in Michigan or NY. He lived in Nankin twp.,Wayne co.,MI. Married Charlotte Logan who was born in NY. Thank you Nancy Plowman plowman@ionia-mi.net

Does anyone know of Margaret SONGER, who was married to an ATWELL, probably around 1826. He may have died by 1837, because she was remarried by then. She and Mr. ATWELL may have had three children, 2 boys and a girl, possibly named, Joseph, David (may have been twins) and Sarah. Any info will solve a great mystery! :) Lynne Norris

I am tracing Permilia "Milly" and Susanna Atwell in my wife's line. Their children (cousins) married each other. Permilia married Brinson "Doc" Singletary in 1871 and Susanna married Jerome Davis in 1870. Both of these families settled in Jasper County, Texas. Their father was William Atwell b. abt. 1821 in North Carolina and his parents were also born in North Carolina. Their mother was Helen (Healin) Wood b. abt 1820 in North Carolina. Her parents were Joseph Wood and Amelia S. Singletary. Also, Brinson Singletary's (mentioned above) mother was Susan Wood, a sister to Helen Wood. The Singletary's appear to have been in the Bladen Co., NC area. Anyone have a connection to these people? Thanks, Kerry Girolamo Groves, Texas
