I recently ordered and received a book, "Records of Maple Grove Cemetery", in Wichita, Kansas. Thought I'd share the Downings in it on the long shot it may tie in with someone's searching. ( The * indicates a member of my family line ) Anna B, nee Justus, d. 19 Mar 1939, age 63 Benjamin H. * b. 1841 d 14 Nov 1908 Blanche M., nee Newton, d. 1 Jun 1934, age 56 Claude R., d. 18 May 1933, age 60 Edward P., d. 12 Feb 1920, age 78 Estelle (not married), d. 5 Apr 1911, age 37 Flora B., nee Hodges, d. 1 Jun 1970, age 80 Frank M., d. 15 Aug 1921, age 39 George W. * d. 5 Nov 1943, age 72 Grace M. nee Flynn, d. 4 Mar 1951, age 50 Jerry W., d. 29 sep 1948, age 6 Kate E. nee Dowell * 23 Jul 1917 age 72 Mary Virginia nee Maddux, d. 30 Mar 1908, age 62 Olive A. * d. 16 Dec 1964 Raymond, d. 31 Oct 1922 age 23 Renetta P. nee Ross, d. 25 Jun 1944, age 43 Robert M. 21 May 1925, age 48 Sallie M. * (unm) d. 3 Sep 1940 age 68 Vivian, nee Beck, d. 28 Aug 1983, age 67 There is much additional information on each of the above, so if one clicks into your line, e-mail me and I'll provide the full information the book offers. Maple Grove cemetery is perhaps the oldest and largest in the Wichita area. Ray Downing, Las Vegas, NV

Sherry, How in the world do I get hold of that Burke's book? I can't find a copy around here. Does the Mormon Family Research Center have it on film by any chance? Sue Hodnett

Hello List, I keep getting references to this book: At 09:00 AM 10/19/98 -0400, you wrote: >Gregath-Cochran book has several pages on this family, joe Can someone please list the full title and where a copy can be obtained? Thanks Robb

Can anyone give me a good site for family information, as in the early planters, of VA? I have looked at some early settlers lists, and found the names I want in that particular year. But after that year, there's nothing. The year was 1624 But what happened to people from, say, the West and Sherley Hundred, a corporation of Charles City, VA after 1624? I know there was a abad Indian raid in 1622. But this is a couple years after that, and these people survived. Where do I look? Sue Hodnett

One last request and I'll quit for awhile. Does someone have the Family Tree Maker CD185? It lists a family history from some Francis Downing. Is he the same Francis Downing of Harford County, MD? He would have arrived in Fayette Co., KY in the late 1780's. Sue Hodnett

Would someone with the Family Tree Maker CD118 do a lookup for me? It lists a Francis Downing. I would like to know what it has to say about him. There is a Francis R. Downing listed on Family Tree Maker CD015. Could someone tell me about him? Does it say what the R stands for? Thank you. Sue Hodnett (Needless to say, I don't have these CD's and can't buy them right now)

Family Tree Maker's Internet Family Finder has a lot of references to Francis Downing and Descendants. Does each reference list the submitter? What I am looking at say some of the references are from user hom pages and some from the Genealogy library, and some from the internet. How do I find out who the submitters are? Sue Hodnett

Can someone with access to Family Tree Maker check out a reference to a francis Downing home page by Donald A. Downing. I have tried to make contact with him, with no luck; I can't find him anywhere. there are a lot of references to the descedants of Francis Downing. Are they all pertaining to the same Francis Downing, born 1736/1746? In one I know he is married to Henrietta Viley. Does one hve him married to a Susannah? Sue Hodnett

I have come upon a bad contradiction in records; ships list, and an early settlers list put Francis Downing b abt 1600 in West and Sherley Hundred in 1624, having come there aboard the ship "The Return". Internet Family Finder says this Francis came there aboard the ship "Charles" in 1621; in both instances he is listed as a Throgmorton servant. Some other reocrd was supposed to list him as coming over here in 1621 aboard the ship "Seafloure". Can anyone help me straighten this out? Could he have been aboard all three ships? If so, in what capacity? Surely not that of a servant? Sue Hodnett

Can anyone help me with this connection? I found it on the Internet Family Finder, but I don't understand it. Help, please! Sue Hodnett

Cleaning out some old files I came across these notes which must be 25 years old. I don't know if they are useful to anyone but here they are. PASSENGER & IMMIGRATION LISTS INDEX by P.

Sherry, One more question: Was there any indication that this Francis was not a male? Sue Hodnett

Sherry, Thank you. This may be where the 1726 date comes in for our Francis. I have seen three dates for him: 1726/1736/1746. This might lead to something. If you come up with anything else on this Francis please let me know. I appreciate this very much. Sue Hodnett
