Sylvia Where is your James from? Barbara

How many letters come out each year?

Hi Sandy; my snail mail is Barbara Aguilar 3809 Goodrich N. E. Albuquerque, New Mexico 87110

Sandy, I would also like to receive the list of researchers! It would surely help me avoid bothering people of other lines. I can take .dbf files. Thanks! Wilma (wlorance@uswest.net)

Received the following from Donna <HogsinFL@aol.com> and I felt it should be shared with the list. Thanks for sharing with us, Donna! ============================================================ York Co., petition of Samuel W. Faries, native of Ireland resident in the United States 18 June 1798 admitted for Naturalization October 26, 1813. REF. BOOK: South Carolina Naturalizations 1783-1850 by Brent H. Holcomb. I found the fact that a storm in Charleston kept the passagers on board for 6 weeks a little strange. (In ref. to Samuel W. Faris.) The following was in REF. BOOK: Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina by Jean Stephenson. The Lord Dunluce with Rev. William Martin aboard arrived on 20 December 1772. As stated in the letter to the Belfast paper, it was quarantined for 15 days only. The passengers on the Lord Dunluce also wrote a letter of commendation for the ship and Captain, which appeared in the Belfast NewsLetter 4-8 June 1773: Charlestown, 15 January 1773 For the Belfast News Letter, We, the undernamed subscribers, think it is a duty incumbent upon us to acquaint the Publick in general and our Friends in particular, that we went on board from Larne the Ship Lord Dunlace, a stout commodious Vessel, James Gillis, Master; and after eleven Weeks Passage we arrived at Charlestown in South Carolina (our passage being prolonged by contrary Winds, which beat us so far north, and continuing to blow from the South West Detained us near three Weeks out of our way, notwithstanding all the Care and unwearied Diligence of our Captain, who did not fail to take all safe Advantage, in order to expedite our Way). But the Tediousness of our Voyage was rendered as agreeable to us as possible by the humane treatment of our worthy Captain, and agreeable Company, together with the useful and timely Admonitions of our respected Friend, the Revd. William Martin, who never failed when the Weather and Time would permit, to preach the everlasting gospel to us, the which we esteemed a singular Blessing. We had Plenty of Provisions of good Quality, and so would have had as agreeable a passage, notwithstanding the Length of it, as any that ever was made from Ireland, had it not happened that the Small-pox broke out in the Vessel, which continued for some Time, and occasioned the Death of some Children; during which Time our Worthy Captain, and the Revd. Mr. Martin were duly employed visiting the Sick, and administering Cordials to their several Necessities, etc. which Disorders would have caused us (according to the Laws of the land) to have road Quarantine six weeks, had not our Captain, by his Application to a Friend of his through whose kind Mediation we obtained Liberty to go ashore the Day before the grand Court met, and got the Favour of being called up to get out Warrants before those that had landed before with riding fifteen Days Quarantine, which was a Favour that not many have been favoured with. Again, our worthy Friend Captain Gillis and Mr. Martin did fatherly Care over us, but used their utmost Endeavors to obtain Money to carry us to our Plantations, etc. Therefore we invite all our friends that intend to come to this land, to sail with Captain Gillis if possible, as he is both a solid, cautious, and careful Captain as ever sailed in the Passenger Way; the which Opinion we were confirmed in by meeting with some Passengers who landed near the same Time, and hearing of their Treatment, concluded that we would rather pay Capt. Gillis something extraordinary, than sail with any other. This is sign by some of the passengers one being a "William Fairies" I thought this was interesting and has no bearing on Samuel W. Faris coming to this country, but also might shed light on why passengers had to stay on board ship after reaching the United States.

Sandy does a GREAT JOB with the Farris Files. It has been the best return on any $15 I have ever had. Her issues covers all of these spellings and groups and FOLKS SHE HAS INDEXED EACH issue. Michael G. Barr

Is this Sandy, who published the Farris Files? If so would you please give us your current address for subscription to the news letters, along with the current subscription rate ? And if it is, Sandy, I am still searching for my Joseph H. Farris, with no luck!

This is response to the person who was interested in the James Faires who died in York Co. SC in 1802 whose will Wanda posted this afternoon. He had lived in York Co., PA prior to coming to SC. The family came from Ireland to DE?PA. in the 17th Century. Sylvia Rhodes

I have some info on James, Jr. since I am a descendant of James d. 1802. Please contact me directly . Sylvia Rhodes

Sandy...could you send me also the newsletter...thank you jenell

Sandy, I think that I would like that list. I do have Microsoft Works, so think I can handle it. My girlfriend (who does not have a computer) is a Farris researcher. Thanks, Mary Ann Ashworth Pasadena, CA

Can anyone tell me if they have found a site that lets you put in the town or city name and it will give you the county? I have found these for individual states but I'm looking for one for the enitre US. Thanks - Debi Fort Myers, FL df620@gate.net - - - - - - - - - Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

Good luck! Wanda

Wish I could remember the source... it was many years ago that I read that James Edgel Faris was actually James Edgel, adopted by a Faris living in Hampshire Co., VA. Wilma Faris Lorance

Is anyone familiar with the James Faries in York Co. - Wanda gave the will for him. I am interested especially in his son James. Thanks -- Debi Fort Myers, FL df620@gate.net - - - - - - - - - Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

Sandy, Just curious, when is the next issue coming out? I agree, YOU DO A GREAT JOB! Kathy

You are going to love me. I have a dumb question. As a member of this group , how do I find the address for another surname group? Someone E-mailed this address to me and I just clicked into it and subscribed. thanks for your help. Barbara

Hi Hope, Thank you for the offer. I really appreciate it. The biggest help anyone could be would be to submit articles or transcribed records, etc. that are ready to copy. My biggest problem is time, or rather, lack of it. It also helps if people submit their families by gedcom rather than hard copy, because then I can format them for a narrative style rather than group sheets which take up so much room. Anyway, any assistence is always much appreciated. I use alot of things from the Farris List like obits and the family info people send because I can save it as a text file and then transfer it to the newsletter without having to retype everything. The only drawback to that is that there is seldom snail mail addresses with the families and many of our readers do not have online capabilities so would be unable to contact the submitter. Sorry, didn't mean to write a book, but maybe this will give you an idea or two. Thanks again. Sandy

Does anyone know the new address of Pamela W. Cooper who lived on Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles? She subscribed to the newsletter and I got it and a letter returned as not deliverable. I assume she has moved and forgot to send me her new address. I would really like to get her issues of the newsletter to her if at all possible. Sandy McIntire
