This was in the latest missing links newsletter My father, Nolan BEAVER, was one of the Brasstown Carvers* of Cherokee County, North Carolina. We have found many pictures in his effects that were taken 1920-1945. Some of these are identified and some are not. Several were taken during an outing of some sort and includes Norma WILCOX and Murray MARTIN (wife of Dub MARTIN). There are also pictures of Seb TANNER, Della Mae HUGHES, Ernest THOMAS, and the BEAVER family. If you have connections to Cherokee County, North Carolina and would like copies of these, I will be glad to scan and send them to you. And if you think you can help identify some of them, I would really appreciate it. *During the Depression, Olive Dame CAMPBELL, wife of the John C. CAMPBELL, who wrote THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDER AND HIS HOMELAND, co-founded the John C. CAMPBELL Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. It was based on similar schools in Denmark. The best known of the Folk School's endeavours was the Brasstown Carvers. My dad and most of his family carved for it. The carvings are sold all over the world; the older pieces are in many museums. My uncle carved two colts that were presented to Princesses Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II) and Margaret. Daddy carved right up until his death in 1998. Some of his animals were no larger than the nail on my little finger. My aunt once carved more than 700 donkey napkin rings for the Democratic Convention in Atlanta. Grandpa didn't carve, but he did sand the finished pieces. One of the most remarkable pieces, I think, is a little Scotty dog that my aunt Billie DEAN carved, the only piece she ever carved because she died before age eight. With the death of my dad, only Hope BROWN was left of the the original Brasstown Carvers.

Hi! I am trying to find the parents of M.W. BEAVERS, who married Mahala McDade (b.1832-d.1888). They were the parents of Emily Catherine Beavers, born 18 Jul 1860 in St Clair Co, AL. I suspect that the "M" stands for Major, but I have no concrete evidence. Tricia Out on a limb..............and still climbing!

on the 1860 Census for Cherokee County NC there is a Benjamin BEAVER[S]. Among the household is a John Hennise. However it is unclear whether this is John HENNISE of John Hennise BEAVER[S]. Does anyone know which? ........................................................ iWon.com http://www.iwon.com why wouldn't you? ........................................................

If you are researching the Ausbern J BEAVER line - in 1838 he was bondsman on marriage bond for Jesse R BEAVER and Mary KIRBY - so he may have had a brother named Jesse R who married Mary KIRBY. It's worth a shot ........................................................ iWon.com http://www.iwon.com why wouldn't you? ........................................................

Is anyone still researching this line? If you find any clues tht lead to his parentage, I will nominate you for sainthood on the spot!!!!! I am beginning to believe he actually crawled out of beaver dam in Cherokee County and began to walk erect!!!!

Posted on: BEAVERS Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/surnames/b/e/BEAVERS/queries?read=5 Surname: Beavers ------------------------- Looking for information on my GGgranfather Vincent Beavers born in Virginia in 1825. Moved to Ohio somtime thereafter.

My name is Gary Warner, a genealogist in Birmingham, Alabama. This is my "brain dump" on Arkansas families from my mother-in-law's family tree. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who might have information or relatives on any of the below. If anyone has access to marriage records that might help date and place some of the below, I would love to speak with you as well. My mother-in-law, who lives with us, was from Texarkansas, Ouichata county. Her family also lived in Hempstead, and Nevada Counties as well. Her name is Dorothy Rumsey, and her family tree, as far we know, looks something like this: /--David Rumsey /--Roy Thomas Rumsey b. 4 SEP 1901 | \ /-Thomas Fisher | \--Roxie Fisher | \ /-William Jasper Breed ==> (much more) | \-Sarah C. Breed | \- Eliza A. ??? | Dorothy Jane Rumsey b. DEC 8, 1929 | /--Charles Featherstone Walthall ==> (much more) | /--William Jethro Walthall b. 9 MAR 1858 | | \--Mary Jemima Meadow | /--Millard Orestes Walthall b. 31 JAN 1883 | | \--Missie Parthenia Beavers \--Gladys Walthall b. 4 DEC 1906 \--Vannah Moore Some notes on a few of the clan. Two Walthalls bought land of the government in 1860 in Ouichata county. Edward, and William. Willard Jethro Walthall, was a powerful evangelist and pastor, who taught at Ouichata College See: http://www.pcfa.org/genealogy/PineyGrove.html Millard Orestes Walthall was a newspaperman in Prescott, Arkansas. When the clan burned down his paper after some anti-Klan articles (which I would LOVE to find!), he relocated the family to Texarkansas, and started a new paper there instead. I would love to find ANY articles written by this editor! My only potential lead on the BEAVERS family, is this census record: On the 1860 Ouchita County census Missouri Township, it lists the following family: J.G. Beavers 45 M Ten Nancy 36 F Ten Wm J. 15 M Ten Mary F. 13 F Ten Margaret 10 F Ten John 8 M Ark Missouri 5 F Ark Marilda 2 F Ark Marrietta 3/12 F Ark Is it possible that this "Missouri", born c. 1855, might be my "Missie Parthenia Beavers"? This would place her at age 28 when her son, Millard Orestes was born. (And would be nice, since at least 6 generations of her ancestry are known...8-). Looking for indication or contradiction. Thanks for your patient reading, Gary Warner http://glwarner.narrowgate.net/genealogy/blackhole.html

I need some help with SILAS BEAVERS Thanks to Leah who had an obit on my Sarah A Beavers (maiden name unknown) I now know that she was the wife of a SILAS BEAVERS who lived in GA, Randoplh Co AL and died 9/18/1856. Now I need to know who SILAS was. I need any data on a SILAS BEAVERS born from bef 1805 and died 1856. If you are game, I have included some of the data I already have and my conclusions. Do you like a mystery? I don't have much as I have just confirmed Silas as Sarah's husband, any help would be appreciated. Thanks, CindyHMB ASSORTED DATA ON NAME: SILAS BEAVERS SILAS BEAVER #1 - My Ancestor 1810 SILAS M BEAVERS b abt 1810 GA >From 1850 Census, Randoplh Co AL when SILAS' age is listed as 40 (poor quality microfilm but comparison with other numbers on the page seemed to be a 4 (40), however, descrepencies in age are evident (see 1850 note) 1844 9/3/1844 - SILAS M BEAVERS, Randolph Co, AL >From AL Land & Warrant Records - Register of Receipts, Lebanon 1845 SILAS M BEAVERS married SARAH A (UNKNOWN), maybe GA Marriage is estimate based on oldest child but supported by neighbor's information in Sarah's obituary in the Mena Weekly Star, 1909 Polk Co, AR 1850 SILAS M BEAVERS in 1850 Census, Randoplh Co, AL, Beat #16, p 410 SILAS M BEAVERS age 40 male b GA 600 acres Sarah Beavers age 22 female b GA Mary Beavers age 6 female b GA Johny?Zachry? Beavers age 1m male b AL NOTES: Sarah by later census records was born in 1825, confirmed by her obituary, so her age in 1850 should 25 Mary Ann by later census records was born in 1848 so her age should have been 2 I cannot find widow Sarah and her children in 1860 census yet but do pick them up again in 1870 still/back in Randolph Co AL The 1 month old male name is very difficult to read. At first I thought it was Zachry but it could be misspelled Johnny. He is not with her in 1870 and later records indicate that SILAS & Sarah had a son named John T Beavers born in 1850 AL and married in 1870. 1856 SILAS M BEAVERS died Sept. 18, 1856, (Randolph Co, AL?) >From wife Sarah's Obituary in the Mena Weekly Star, 1909 Polk Co, AR NOTE: Obituary of Sarah Beavers d 1909 in Grannis, Polk Co, AR says Sarah was born in Salem, Georgia November 21, 1825. SILAS BEAVERS #2 1810, 1839 This is on a disk that came with Family Tree Maker: SILAS BEAVERS b. 1810 GA m Sarah Ann Harris in 1839 GA. She was B. 1823 GA. Original Source Doc. Is located in Yates Publication Archive. Source #1939.004 Source type: Family group sheet, FGSE, listed as parents NOTE: This SILAS #2 is promising in names and close on some dates. However, not knowing more or the source of this data, it is hard to cement the dates given here. SILAS #1 was born in 1810 by the 1850 census; SILAS #1's Sarah was born in 1825, close to 1823, both in GA. The date of marriage in 1839 is earlier than thought at abt 1845 but could be correct. The source contains no county. This record needs to be verified and clarified. This could be SILAS #1. SILAS BEAVERS #3 1805 SILAS #3 would be born before 1805, son of Robert Beavers. Will of Robert Beavers, bef 1/12/1805 in Jackson Co, GA wife - Jane daus - Esther Hunt, Rachel Brooks, Polly Freeman, Patsy, Elizabeth, Sally, Charity son - Joseph, Reuben, John, SILAS NOTE: A family trees on the web shows this SILAS to be married to a Sarah and have two children Mary & Johnny which match the 1850 Randolph Co, AL census of SILAS #1 but birth is 1790, not 1810. DESCENDANTS OF JOHN BEAVERS http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/u/l/Woodie-S-Mullins/GENE6-0001.html 34. SILAS4 BEAVERS (ROBERT3, THOMAS2, JOHN1) was born 1790 in Georgia. He married SARAH. Children of SILAS BEAVERS and SARAH are: i. MARY5 BEAVERS, b. 1844, Georgia. ii. JOHNNY BEAVERS, b. 1849, Alabama. NOTE: If SILAS #3 is the same as SILAS #1, the age in the 1850 Randolph Co, AL census of 40 would be incorrect and should be at least before 1805 as Robert, the father of SILAS #3, died in 1805. SILAS BEAVERS #4 1827 1827 GA Land Lottery SILAS M BEAVERS orphan Rollins District, Gwinnett Co, GA NOTE: This could be SILAS #3 as he would have been an orphan in 1827 or it could be SILAS #1 or #2 as the state of the parents are unknown in 1827. SILAS BEAVERS #5 1840 1840 census Heard Co, GA, 792nd District, p 299 I do not have this census record yet.

SILAS BEAVERS #7 1850 1850 Census Fayette Co GA, 29th District, p 54 Silas Beavers age 21? CONCLUSIONS: At the most, SILAS #1 could be the same as SILAS #2-5, making him the SILAS BEAVERS who: - the son of Robert Beavers of Jackson Co GA - was born before 1805, GA - was an orphan in 1827 when he drew for the GA land lottery - married Sarah Ann Harris abt 1839 or later in GA - was in the Heard Co GA census of 1840 - was in the 1850 Census of Randolph Co AL - died in 1856 SILAS #1 CANNOT be SILAS #6 or #7 because: - SILAS #6 died in 1835, SILAS #1 was still living in 1850, died in 1856 - SILAS #7 was alive in 1860 and was too young
