Subject: Whattayamean possible! Date: Tue, 03 Mar 1998 21:01:50 -0600 From: cas25@lx.net (cas25) To: rac@azstarnet.com Dear Cuz, Remember, you are just one, not yet found, ancestor from having the same line as myself. If we could just find out who it was that was the wife of Old Josiah and mother of your Zachariah we would be home free. They are just covering that up--those Josiah folks--they just will not talk to us--yet. I think she was full bloodied Cherokee lass just like that cousin in Georgia said she was. I also believe that my Nathaniel's first wife may have been Cherokee for same reason--nobody will talk about the "Burrows". Dead ends on Duck River--Cherokee country! BTW, did you check War of 1812 for old Zachariah? National Archives for a record of his service?? He would have to have been only about 16 years old to serve. Some of those soldiers listed as Tennessee Volunteers were obviously from Kentucky, i.e. my Nathaniel. Keep the faith! On Another issue--who is the moderator of that "Collins BB" that you sent information from? I'm not a member of any of those boards, and they kicked me off of one for articulating (arguing) certain issues and the following is one of those issues: (copied from your last message)i.e.: Collins, Stephen (10 Aug 1744-6 Aug 1825 Estill Co KY) married Catherine McIntosh. Now, Stephen Collins, of Halifax Co. Va. has as his wife, Catherine McKendree, dtr of James McKendree, aka Catey Collins who was certified by Halifax Court in 1766, book 11, page 479, as an heir of James McIntree.(General Index to Court Orders, Halifax County, Defendants under my eyeball at this moment.)I also have his Will, and his "relict's" distribution to Catherine and Stephen Collins. I've gotten a little stressed out about trying to correct some of these things because it seems that their attitude is "Don't confuse me with any of your damn facts, my minds made up.!" Anyway, if you have correspondence and rapport with the sender of that and wish to "correct it" please do so, and if you want, refer to me to articulate in detail and provide documentation. I'll be glad to do so to an open minded recepient. (Of course, I would have to admit that correcting that--removes General Alexander McIntosh from their ancestry!!!!<GGG>.)(In the process, also, removes General Byrd Prewitt, who never existed). Get after me--I must repent or move to Midland.-besides it's Lent. Luv, Charles.
