I am seeking any data {i.e. bills of sale, wills, estate inventories, bible records, etc.} that may assist in understanding the relationship between Caroline's Mother {name unknown} & Thomas, as well as how/when the adoption of the WASHINGTON surname occurred. Caroline married Levy MARTIN in Lousiville AL and gave birth to my GG Grandmother Ella MARTIN MCKENZIE in 1870... This is actually my Paternal family line & I am just beginning to initiate my research. Please feel free to visit my Maternal family genealogy site: http://georgiaroots.com.

Thearon A. Blankenship S1C of USS Arizona. He still is a crew member serving on his duty station. 21 years old, A native of Morgan Co., Al. According to my genealogy chart he was my 4th cousin once removed. Growing up he was cousin Thearon. There is an empty grave at New Center Baptist Church in Morgan Co. The headstone gives the dates of birth and death and states. Remember Pearl Harbour. The other is not a relative, except by profession he is my brother. I was Navy he was Army. Col John Wesley Loud was a First Lieutenant in the field artillary, stationed at Ft De Russy. His large guns were too big to fire at the attacking planes, so he grabbed a Springfield and shot away. `He and his bride of 4 months had hosted a party the night before at the O club. In a few days she was bound stateside while John went south and participated in the Solomons campaign. After that he came back stateside for a few months and the headed to Europe where he participated in many large battles as a field intelligence officer. He then was active in the Military government of Germany and returned to Civilian life in 1948. Like me he kept his military affilation through the reserves. He retired a COL. He and I were in the Old Guard of the Gate City Guard together. We lost John this past year and we do miss him so. Rest in peace brothers.

The couple were on 1910 Census McIntosh Co.OK , not in 1920. Some of the other Baxters were still in McIntosh Co. OK in 1920. I haven't read a 1920 census for Grady County Oklahoma. According to information found on the Denton County Texas website, the Short family came from there, and possibly James E. Baxter was from the Cooke Co. TX Baxter's. I would like to know if he was. Some of James and "Sallie's" children were born in OK(IT) in 1897 and 1900, some in TX, some in AR. I haven't identified the Baxter's on the 1910 -1920 Census McIntosh Co. OK , born in MO, they may be James and "Sallie's" children also. I don't know if the two Baxter men are sons of James. I know they had a large family, I would really like to know the names of all the children born to James E. and "Sallie" Baxter. If anyone can help tie all this together, I would appreciate any ideas. One lady has provided a lot of information on the "Sallie" Short Baxter lady, but she doesn't know much about the Baxter line. I may have got some of this information wrong, most information came from website information and some from Lucy Baxter McClain's family. One of her sons married one of my aunts. So I am doing my cousins genealogy. Thanks a lot, Joy

Great aunt Fannie's mother was Mary Elizabeth Woiulad Moss, Buckalew, Masters.(William Young Moss, Potolemy Buckalew and Unknown Masters.) I saw a Robert Lee and thought they might be related It was either Robert Lee Baxter or Robert Lee Masters , it was on the Baxter & Master's lists. Thanks for any help.

Hi Listers... I'm still trying to find info on the ancestors of Jesse E(rwin) Baxter, b. 11/1/1836 in McDowell Co, NC; d. 10/13/1902 in Siloam Springs, Randolph Co, AR; m. #1 Eliza Jane Adams abt 1853 in Reynolds Co, MO. They had 4 children before Eliza Jane died in a smallpox epidemic in 1862: George W., b 1854; Sarah Elizabeth, b. 1857; Nevada Jane, b. 1859; Francis Marion, b. 8/12/1861. Jesse then m. #2 Eliza Jane Dennison about 1862 in Reynold Co, MO. Eliza Jane Dennison was b. 1/12/1843 in Barron Co, KY and d. 12/15/1912 in Siloam Springs, Randolph Co, AR. They had 8 children: Mary Belle, b. 3/27/1866; Eliza Ann, b. 1867; Sidney E., 11/1869; Rose Dorella, b. 1872; Julia, b. 1874; Cordelia, b. 1876; Jesse, b. 1880; and Druscilla, b. 1882. In the 1850 census of McDowell Co, NC, I found Elizabeth Baxter (widow) with Silvester, David and Sidney. In the 1860 census of Reynolds Co, MO, I found Elizabeth Baxter (widow) just doors down from other sons: William and Jesse. Two of her children remained in McDowell Co, NC: Minerva and Finley. We have no given name for the Baxter husband of Elizabeth; however, he would have been born about 1800-1805. Their first child was b. abt 1822 in McDowell Co, NC. As far as we can prove, this Baxter family is not directly connected to the William Baxters of Rutherford Co, NC. They could be from a brother or cousin of William, but not William himself. Any assistance with this brick wall would be greatly appreciated. Lois in Auburn, CA

The definition of genealogy does not have the presence of "blood lines" within. Genealogy: 1. A record or table of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or ancestors; a family tree. 2. Direct descent from an ancestor; lineage or pedigree. 3. The study or investigation of ancestry and family histories. Furthermore, I personally do not research blood lines. I research family history. Family: 1a. A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children. b. Two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same dwelling place. 2. All the members of a household under one roof. 3. A group of persons sharing common ancestry. See Usage Note at collective noun. 4. Lineage, especially distinguished lineage. 5. A locally independent organized crime unit, as of the Cosa Nostra. 6a. A group of like things; a class. b. A group of individuals derived from a common stock: the family of human beings. 7. Biology A taxonomic category of related organisms ranking below an order and above a genus. A family usually consists of several genera. See table at taxonomy. 8. Linguistics A group of languages descended from the same parent language, such as the Indo-European language family. 9. Mathematics A set of functions or surfaces that can be generated by varying the parameters of a general equation. 10. Chemistry A group of elements with similar chemical properties. 11. Chemistry A vertical column in the periodic table of elements. ADJECTIVE:1. Of or having to do with a family: family problems. 2. Being suitable for a family: family movies. ETYMOLOGY:Middle English familie, from Latin familia, household, servants of a household, from famulus, servant Did I ever say that genealogy is just families living together? No. My arguement is that ancestory is not blood/DNA solely. Ancestry/lineage deals with family units. As you can see in the definition of a family, they are social groups. I am not the only person in my family tree that has been adopted and my research wasn't stopped by me or any records. Adoption is a legal entity. When someone dies without a will, the term "next of kin" is often used to distribute assets. No where in the definition of "kin" does is refer to "blood lines". Kin is family. Your "tea bag" analogy baffles me and doesn't make sense, but if it "works for you"-great! I think it is good to have discussions and disagreements on issues. However, please don't twist what I have written or presume what you are saying is gospel unless you have concrete evidence. Like I said, genealogy is more than just blood and I believe I illustrated my point clearly in my prior response and this one. Rick Baxter Lincoln Stormers Baseball www.eteamz.com/stormers

I've had a few emails where they didn't care for the FBI. What has the FBI done to rile people up? It's the IRS I thought everyone didn like. I have a William J. Cooper 1838-1875 who married my gr gr aunt Nancy Baxter and they had a son and a daughter, Dr. John Henry Cooper a physician who has a practice in Washington County, Alabama, and died in California.

Thanks, Sandra maiden name Waldrop Georgia

Rick, I am not sure, But I think I disagree with you. In Genealogy it is a blood line we are researching. If one is adopted and you research back to the adopted child the research stops before it gets to the adopted child. Genealogy is not just families living together. As goofy as this sounds, take a tea bag and place it inside a 10 gallon bucket , then keep pouring water into the bucket, watch how the water weakens the tea bag and the leaves began to float in the added water. The new water over powers the tea bag and become white again, until you see no signs of the tea bag. Once in a while you will see a tiny dot of the tea leave in the powerful 10 gallon bucket of water to let you know there was a beginning. To me this is like, some where in us we have a dot of something roaming around of where we started. The water is weak, but looking very closely you will see it's beginning, which is our ancestors. Corny as it is, works for me. Sandra Sandra
