I know a little ....just a 'little'..... particularly about these folks at Salem <used to live at 262 Davis Street, North Marboro, MA. in 1980....beautiful place especially in Autumn.... My SNOW roots' go ALL THE WAY BACK to PLYMOUTH and 'the Rock'.......... Interesting times these were....... Most people think the Witch Hunts' went-on for a generation....when in fact, they lasted only about a year... Seems the local folks went 'nuts'....<kinda like now...(inside joke girl)>... Scientific, Historical and Religious researchers have tried to determine the aberrant nature of the local peoples actions for some time now......and most have reached a general conclusion..... THe people went 'NUTS' from the ingestion of ERGOTAMINE..... Ergotamine is the precursor to LSD....Lysergic Acid Diethylamide....the psychedelic drug of the "60's Generation and Timothy Leary".....and also used as the 'tartrate' salt to treat Migraine Headaches....I now because I've had it prescribed for exactly that cause......'good drug'......particularly if you take a 'few' to many...it is a powerful psycho-active drug particularly when consumed in toxic quantities..... Ergotamine is extracted from the 'rust' or mildew that forms on the grain 'rye' when it ferments in cold, damp conditions <particularly as existed around Salem> during the Witch Hunt days.... Current research indicates that the residents of Salem were HIGH on ergotamine during the Trials' due to the ingestion of contaminated rye grain.......throw in some religious zealots <Taliban types> and you end-up with HUMAN SACRIFICE in the Name-of-God....amazing isn't it ??? <that's a rhetorical question....no answer required>.....do you know these folks went so far, as to, convene a 'court' of adulescent, IMMATURE women, to ACT as a JURY, toward those brave Women who were condemned as Witches.....and then burned-alive, drowned, stoned............Pray, God keep up safe from the Zealots, Amen. Another rhetorical question......the infamous 'Inquisiton' was not officially ended by the Roman Catholic Church until 1851....Wonder what their excuse was.......???? Drugs...as with the Salem religious zealots.. Bigotry...as with the KKK.. Power....pick whoever you want here <Clinton comes to mind>.... Stupidity and Inhumanity are not reserved to the Past.......Our Salem Ancestors just had an excuse......'good drugs'.... Dave

I have been trying to get this information through to the list, but it would not go through. My GGGrandfather was Thomas Moody------Born Abt 1788 NC Wife----------------------Born Abt 1793 NC? Children Evaline-------------Born 1-26-1813 What is now Henry County TN William------------ Born Abt 1814 HC TN Isabella------------ Born ??????? HC TN Cullen---------------Born Abt 1823 HC TN John A.-------------Born Abt 1825 HC TN Greene--------------The only information I have,---He died while still in the home. Possibly, a young teen. This family left TN, abt 1830. All the children were born in what is now Henry County TN. On a farm , on a creek called Big Sandy, near Paris. Are there any books for sale, about this era? Trying to find Thomas Moody's parents names. also Sarah's maiden name. Help!!!!! THANKS

Rootsweb does that, Sandy. I have no clue how often it is done. I will check to see however, if it is supposed to be done immediately or if it is something they go back and do...strange...never realized it was not an immediate post. BUT it is true that once I looked for a message I had accidentally deleted and could not find it on the archive...so maybe it is an "every now and then" kind of thing. jan At 01:18 PM 1/27/02 -0600, Sandra Ellis wrote: >Dave > > >From time to time I check the threaded archives of lists I don't subscribe >to.

Hi Jan, I loved your article. It is very sinilair what I've been going through for a long time now. The Londons were a very close knit family, my dad came from a family of 8 boys and 3 girls. Most all of us lived in the same town and worked and played together. My father owned a construction business and most of the family worked for him. When his 4 children grew we also worked for him. In 1988 he got sick with cancer and had to cut back, but he kept his family working. Then in 1991 he died. We were all lost. I was 46 at the time, and had never been out in the world alone. Cleaning out our office was the hardest thing we ever did, we even had a nursery so we could be with our children when they were small. Mother sold the family home soon after his death, so we had to clean out that also. Mother died a few months ago, so now we are going through her things. I have lived in the same house for 38 years, dad built it, all my children and grandchildren call it home. I have developed a lung disease which makes it impossible to work any longer, so now I'm going to have to sell it, and start over again. Its going to be a very hard thing to do. You can see why your article hit home with me, but at the same time helped . You're right HOME IS IN THE HEART, not a building. Thank you for reminding me of this. Now maybe I can now get on with life instead of crying for the past. Again, THANK TOU, GOD always comes through in some way when you need him. BJ London

Jan-- It must be an automatic update to the archives because your message is posted already! After Sept 11, the archives wasn't updated until recently. (I've looked several times to see if it had been updated.) I don't know what was going on but I even had a few other people to check it for me---thought it might just be my cantankerous machine!

Jan, That was wonderful, Thanks , Lillian

This week a young cousin, a descendant of our own Stewart County roots, contacted me. A young mother with young children, she has known much sadness in her short life. Within a few short years, she lost her mother, her grandmother, her grandfather. Literally she lost three of the four pivotal adults in her life. For some time now, the family home place has set alone and empty. I had never asked my cousin why, or what she really intended to do about it. I suspected I knew what the delay might be. This week she contacted me, and I heard her heart pouring out grief. The home place has been sold, and she knows this is how it must be. She recognizes the reasons for it, the practicality of it, even the necessity of it. But she hurts. She spoke of being able to go there and walk through the empty rooms, "hear" the long ago laughter and merriment of a family gathering that will never be again. She spoke of feeling near to her mother and grandparents when she is there. She spoke of the finality of what is about to take place. And she asked me for words…for words that would help her through this time. The best words I could give her were those of a story I wrote once when I too, recognized practicality and necessity…but felt the grief of finality. I sent her the Rocking column below. ********************************************************************************** Saying Goodbye to a Home Place (from the "Sunday Afternoon Rocking" series) The day comes for most of us when we learn to say goodbye, not only to persons of importance in our lives...but also to places. This summer that chore came to rest on my own shoulders. Although I had tried to prepare for it, it was not an easy one, and the experience was a voyage of emotions and memories... I pulled up in front of a home place that had not been dwelt in for a number of years, and because of the circumstances, it stood as some encapsulated version of a time that had been, a living ghost of time standing still. My grown daughter beside me saw mostly simply an old home, one she remembered but not well, she saw an empty front porch with glider hanging limply from one leg. She saw curtained windows hiding rooms she knew housed dusty furniture in the same positions they had been left long ago. She dreaded sorting closets and wardrobes that held clothes from eras mostly before her own birth, plowing through letters and papers written long before she had joined the family. I saw something far different...and perhaps I saw beneath the layers of dust and cobwebs to another time in the same place... They sat waiting for us on the front porch, chatting, laughing. My father was there, my uncles. One reclined on the glider looking down toward us at the street, throwing up his hand to wave. Another grinned broadly, then went back to the story he was telling with animated gestures. My father tapped his pipe on a porch post and told me to pull the car up a bit closer to the curb. I knew they were reminiscing about the old times "down home" and after I greeted my aunts I would join them a while on the porch and listen to the tales I loved so dearly. Blink back hot tears...no time for pain...a luxury for later, perhaps, time only to be true to a family..to a responsibility...later...later... Laughter and merriment drifted through the open front door, fragrant aromas of a dinner being prepared drifted out to greet us. A rocker creaked in a front room and I peeked in to see Pa sitting with his Bible spread out in his lap, peering through a magnifying glass to read the words. He glanced up at me, brown eyes twinkling and asked if they had the "spread on the table" yet. For days we sorted, this box to Goodwill, this to a second hand store, that to the dump. And softly over my shoulder always a ghost... The pink dress billowed from the closet, and I remembered her twirling to show me how it would look on a dance floor. She pulled out the pretty "peek-a-boo" shoes that matched and told me that we would shop for some pretty pink shoes for me too. She sat in front of me and handed me nail polish so that I could "make her toenails pretty" and watched smiling as I tried very hard to do it just right. She reached down and curved her soft hand around my cheek, "You can be my little girl too, you know." And so, in a way, I guess I was, since my aunt never married and never had children of her own. Because there was so much to do, and such a short time to do it in....because the days were hot, and the house of another era...I could not stop to linger, but sometimes.... The postcards were of western steers and wide open spaces. My grandfather's scratchy handwriting was hard to decipher, but I was used to it and long ago had learned to make out the words a stranger would not take the time to do. He was in Texas visiting kindred, something he did almost every year...he wrote of folks I had heard of all through my childhood...and they were having birthdays, going to dinner on the ground, visiting one another, living and breathing again as he told of the fine time he was having. I thought I would write back to him, and tell him one day I would join him there... Surely no one would want these. Hat boxes...a grandfather's finery from the 50's and 60's. Hat boxes...an aunt's finery from the same era... the aromas....Old Spice. If I looked over my shoulder, Pa would be standing there smiling. Tigress...my aunt was laughing as she came in the door with a bundle of packages and surprises. I set aside one of Papa's hat boxes to keep...an old bottle of Tigress cologne. My choices of remembrances were odd ones. I warned my daughter that the small box of what looked indeed like something aimed for the dump was merely the menagerie of quirky little things that would go home with me, and she looked askance at my strange choices but accepted. And so it was at the end of a week, a time capsule had been emptied. Some distributed to other family members, some left at a second hand store, some taken to charity, some thrown away. The house that had greeted me with long ago conversations and laughter, long ago rustling sounds of busy folk in a happy household now echoed in hollow finality. Even my own ears could no longer hear them, my own eyes no longer see any more. Empty. Except for a few stray pieces of furniture here and there, all signs that a few days before bore evidence of a once vibrant healthy laughing family were gone. Whispers of the past softly floated to the floor, quieting as they drifted, settling at last among the dust to await the final cleansing, the final purging. Goodbye. And yet...perhaps it is not. What greeted me when I pulled up to finish the chore that no one left in the family was able to do lived not in an empty house, but in a heart's memory. I can see my father and my uncles as clearly in my mind sitting where I sit now as I could gazing up at an empty front porch with a broken glider. I can hear my aunts' laughter and see Pa's twinkling eyes as clearly as the day I walked through a time capsule of things not touched in many years. The things are not what makes them live. If that were so, the daughter who stood beside me could have seen beyond those things as well. She would have heard them, caught herself almost laughing with them, answering them, calling out to them. She would have smelled the same things I smelled and touched soft hands and seen flashes of the past. No, it was not the things in a house left untouched that make all this so real. The past of that house lives only in my memory, and I can revisit where ever I am. The past is not about a home place that served its purpose well, and now, for sake of practicality, must no longer exist for us. It is about a heart. It will live as long as I remember...as long as I share those memories with those who cannot. There need never really be a goodbye. just a thought, jan Copyright ©2000JanPhilpot ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Note: Afternoon Rocking messages are meant to be passed on, meant to be shared...simply share though e-mail as written without alterations...and in entirety.
