Brian- Thank you for the posting of 1/21 where you described the different lines of Dunsmores. Mine are all "colliers" from Old Monkland and New Monkland. Would you have any idea which line they would be from? I have been spending many hours researching and if you have some answers readily available, I would sure appreciate any help you can give. The furthest back I have been able to go is John DUNSMORE b. 1782 who married Jean GRAY b. 1784 in 1803. He was a collier in Faskine according to OPR. I find that there seem to be many marriages between DUNSMORES, GRAYS and BAIRDS in this area. Again, thank you for your previous post and I am sure that any future postings of information like that would be appreciated by many of us on the DUNSMORE list. Jan in Lake Forest, CA, USA, email to [email protected] p.s. when you refer to the names "Lightburn" "Torphichen" and "Shettlestone" what do you mean?

>From my database: Robert Dunsmore (b.1760, m. 1786 to Jean ROBERTSON), John Dunsmore (b.1762, m. 1783 to Janet SIMPSON), Agnes Dunsmore (b.1766, m. 1789 to James SCOBIE, Andrew Dunsmore (b.1768, m. 1789 to Margaret McLEMONT) and my ancestor, William Dunsmore (b. 1766, m. 1808 to Margaret BULLOCH) were the children of Robert Dinsmuir (b. 1714) and Grizzel DUNN who married in Barony in 1757. Robert is descended from the "Lightburn" Dunsmores, which I distinguish from the other major branch which (besides the Torphichen Dunsmores) seemed to provide the Colleries with the Dunsmores, the "Shettleston" Dunsmores. These mining locations were of course not far apart and I believe both branches were founded by brothers - sons of Robert Dinsmuir and Jean PROVAND.

While searching for my ggrandfather, Charles Densmore Wells, last Saturday at the Library of Virginia census files, we ran across three Samuel Dinsmore/Densmores in the 1840 census for Washington County, VA. My gggrandmother was Elizabeth Densmore/Dinsmore. Charles D. Wells born March 6, 1845 in Richmond, VA according to the death certificate of his eldest daughter. Washington County, VA is close to Tennessee--southwestern VA. My searches have been very frustating. Perhaps you can help me.

I am very curious as to whether the 1758 date given as the marriage date for Adam and Elizabeth is "guess-timated" or documented somewhere. While it seems likely that this might be the time period, I have never found an actual record. Also, it is possible that Samuel, the son of Adam and brother to James, may have been the eldest and born abt 1757. Another Dinsmore researcher tells me that this Dinsmore line was also in Virginia and that the family went back and forth a great deal and does so to this day. Does anyone else have information along these lines. We are researching the Samuel Dinsmore line. He was the son of Adam and Elizabeth and married Elizabeth Nichols King. The descendants of Samuel and Elizabeth were in TN, Laurel Co., KY, Daviess Co., MO, WA, and ID. Kay Lou Dinsmore

Thought you would like to know that GenConnect will be taken offline sometime during the evening of Saturday, Jan 16 or early morning hours of Jan 17, 1999 in order to move to a bigger, faster server. Hopefully they won't be offline for too long. An announcement will not be made when we come back online. Please take these dates into consideration before posting queries at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Dunsmoor Happy hunting, Gail

Hi All - and Happy New Year! GenConnect has recently made its boards available for surnames, and I have set up one for queries at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Dunsmoor You may post your queries for any of your ancestors with the name Dunsmoor, Densmore, Dinsmore, or any of the other variant spellings. I have just posted a welcome message and my own family information at the site. Posting to this web site has the advantage of permanence and increased visibility, and the GenConnect system has a world wide search engine. Look at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/ , http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi?search and http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/helpsrch.html for more information. If you have a website with information on this surname, please post the URL, along with your query - this is a great way to share information you have gathered! I've been using this system on my two TXGenWeb counties for several months and have been very pleased. Six other posting boards are also available - obituaries, biographies, wills, pensions, Bibles, and deeds. I have not added them to the suite yet but can easily do so, if the need arises. Please let me know if you have any data (and are willing to post it) that would fit any of these categories. I just thought I'd ask first - no sense in setting up a posting board if no one has anything to post on it <g>! BTW, Rootsweb is the generous provider of space for GenConnect, this mail list, and countless other genealogical web sites. It is committed to free web access to genealogical information and welcomes support at any level. Please see http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html for more information. Happy hunting, Gail

I'd like to be able to give more information on Sarah Dinsmore, but all I have is that she married Ephraim Joe Price between 1892-1894. She evidently was a widow as it listed her name as Sarah Dinsmore Wilson. This would be in PA...Fayette County. I am doing the PRICE lineage, but wanted to find out more about the two children they had. Thanks for your reply and if anything "crops" up, let me know. Nancy [email protected]

Can you give some more information on Sarah Dinsmore? Possibly her date of birth and/or death, her parents names etc. I have several Sarah Dinsmores in my tree. Thanks, Charles L.
