Edenfield Website: http://edenfield.org Email: [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Stan Sirmans To: JC Cemeteries Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 2:14 PM Subject: Church Records Hi James. The Churches list in the Jackson County GenWeb site names various people who hold various church records. How does one contact these people? Specifically, I'm looking for J.D. Grace, who has records from 1879 - of Marvin Chapel in Graceville. I'm still searching for my "lost" g-g-grandfather, Archibald Ball, who "disappeared" from the county between 1850 and 1860. There are two large unmarked graves in the Ball section of Marvin Chapel Cemetery and I"m searching for anything that might tell me whose graves they are. I know you're very busy. Thanks for your help. Stan Sirmans Pensacola, FL

Hello, I have learned that a bundle of 7 or 8 copies of my book on the Battle of Natural Bridge has been damaged in shipping. This means, of course, that 7 or 8 people who ordered books have not received them. However, I do not know who most of these 7 or 8 people are. If you have ordered a copy of the book and have not received it, please email me so I can get your book to you. Thanks, Dale Cox

I have sent this e-mail to James Edenfield to put on the cemetery page...Betty Subj: Fwd: Gilcrease/Smith/Love Cemetery Date: 03/06/2002 6:10:13 PM Eastern Standard Time From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Here is the information and thanks Betty. Pat Hurst I am e mailing all of you in hopes that one of you will be able to put this information into the Gadsden Co. Genealogy Website. My ancestors James Munroe and Frances Elizabeth Bradwell Smith. I went to Quincy and talked to Mr. Bill Crawford after going to the cemetery which you are listing as the Gilcrease Cemetery. I had found the information in "The Loves of Gadsden Co" that my ancestors were buried on the Edward Love Plantation called the Barclow Indian Agency later owned by Carl Spooner in 1941 and now Bill Crawford. James Munroe's brother John Gadsden Smith settled in Gadsden Co about 1822 having his Indian Agency on the plantation. I also saw the same tombstones that were listed on your website when I went there. However, from Mr. Bill Crawford I was able to get some old papers given to him when he bought the land where a Mrs. Clark gave information about the tombstones that were in the cemetery to an E.B.Shaw. There is no date on the handwritten sheet. Mr. Crawford told me that the cemetery had been vandalized before he got the property and that some renters had carried off some of the stones. I read somewhere in my grandmother's things (Mrs. John Love Fain) that my ancestors James Munroe and Frances Elizabeth were also buried there. However, from the information given to me those tombstones were not there at the time this information was gathered. Here it is and I hope you will list it somewhere for someone who is looking for their family can find it. If you want me to send you a copy of what I have I will gladly do it. On the tombstone In memory of Simon B. Smith who was born Oct.29.A.D. 1833 and died, October 21-A.D.1834. On the footstone S.B.S. In memory of Archibald Smith Jr. who was born on June 18th A.D. 1796 and departed this life on the 21st day of January A.D.1853 Aged 56 years 7 months and 3 days. "Let this be thy epitaph, thy memory's boast. That they who knew thee longest loved thee most." * note this is the husband of Jane In Memory of Jane Love Smith wife of Archibald Smith Jr. who was born July 22 A.D. 1797 and Departed this life on 22nd October A.D. 1854 Age 57 years and 5 mo. "Our dear Mother is gone and Oh may we too be prepared When our last summons shall come. There is no union here of hearts." Erected to the Memory of John Gadsden Smith Born Sept.8th 1822 Died Nov.6th 1870 by his affectionate wife Mary Ann "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." Rev. 14c-13v. In Memory of Mary Ann wife of John G Smith Born Dec.24 A.D. 1822 Died June 11 A.D. 1881 *note this is the mother of John Gadsden Smith-1st white child born in Gadsden Co. In memory of Edward R.

Thank you so much for actually taking the time to find it and physically recording that information. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to all of those who helped you in this great endeavor. Sincerely, [email protected] P.S. I would like to offer one correction to that webpage. My grandmother, Sarah Moten, (died 1937) is listed at Sarah Major. How do I get her name corrected? Again, my thanks to all of you.

DNA testing can be done to trace both male and female lines. Male lines can be traced by the DNA in Y chromosomes, which are only passed down from the father to male descendants. Female lines can be traced by the DNA in cellular organelles called "mitochondria" which are passed down though from mothers to their children. ----- Original Message ----- From: "cynthia dean" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 1:46 PM Subject: Re: [FLJACKSO] The Toole Surname DNA Project Update > It is my understanding that the DNA testing only works through the > male lines.

I have received confirmation from Mary Parker, the State Coordinator for the Florida Pioneers Descendant Program, that she will be in Tallahassee on Friday, March 15, 2002, at the State Archives to contact and assist area residents who are interested in registering their ancestors as Florida Pioneers in the State Genealogical Society's Recognition program. She will conduct a one-hour presentation explaining the program and the application process, and will have the forms and workbooks available at the Archives and at the Annual Genealogy Seminar on Saturday. There is a fee to apply for the program to recognize Florida Pioneer ancestors, and applicants are expected to join the State Society, but all will be explained at the presentation on March 15. This is an excellent opportunity for ANYONE with a Florida ancestor, as she will also be available Friday AM at the Archives to consult with researchers doing pre-Statehood Florida family history and research. She will also have a display at the Seminar given the next day by the Tallahassee Genealogical Society. For more information, contact Sheila Martin at 656-5455, or Ellen Dempsey at 671-2748.
