My apology was as public as I could make it for two reasons: (1) to set the record straight that you deserve all the credit for the Bell research (2) to embarrass me publicly as punishment to let you know the sincerity of my apology (and to let you know that while I blundered, I did not intentionally inflict pain) Sharlotte [email protected] wrote: > My apologies to all of you on the lists, for what "was" a private matter, > exposed on the wrong forum. > > "Usually the greatest boasters are the smallest workers.

Hi, Sherry and everyone, You will note, Sherry, that I am sending a copy of my replies (this is part one of four or more) to the Bulloch County, Georgia and Bryan County, Georgia genealogy lists so that the maximum number of those affected will be notified. You emailed me on June 7th that I had submitted your Bell family data to LDS without your permission. My first reaction was an honest one. I said I did not do that, and I thought I was correct in saying that. As you know, my mother-in-law died (an awful fight with brain cancer) the day after you emailed me, and I said I would get back to you after I had finished my obligations and mourning surrounding her death. I have now caught up with my email and will answer as promised. I thought you were mistaken since I "knew" I had not submitted your data. I was wrong. I have two genealogy files on my computer. One with information no one has a problem with being public and a second one that also contains (1) your working data and (2) my husband's uncle's (his mother's brother's) family data which is complete but which he never wants to be made public, even to other close family (he feels everyone should have to go through the research independently without help, that hard work will do them good). In the second file, I also put theories, speculations, anything to research further. Well, I goofed big time. I submitted the wrong file. (I am still trying to understand how I could have made such a blunder.) I must, therefore, apologize to you and to my husband's uncle. ( I confess that with my husband's uncle I may wait a few more weeks to tell him since he is devastated by my mother-in-law's--his sister's--death.) I will check again, but even my second file should credit you with all the research. I want to preserve, not take credit for, your research. For some of the data (the Shivers Swamp story, for example), you should also see my late grandmother, Nevada McClelland Bell, credited, as well as the Georgia Archives. Hopefully, in contacting the Bulloch and Bryan lists, everyone will be clear the research is yours. (Let me know who else you want me to contact.) Hopefully, you will believe my sincere apology and that I made a real--if horribly painful--mistake in submitting your working data to LDS. I hope you will check to see that even though it should not be there at all, that you are credited with the work. Someday I hope you will submit your finished data since it will be more complete and obviously the ultimate research on the Bells. Thanks, Sharlotte Kathleen Bridgette Neely Donnelly [email protected] [email protected] wrote: > Sharlotte, > Our hearts and prayers have been with you and Tom since the moment that we > were notified about Tom's mother.

In response to questions, and this will be my final, online, response to all of the emails that I am receiving. This matter was not about names, dates and data that we all share with each other. This was about a private mini biography that I composed, including quotes from family members that was presented to an elderly aunt on her 86th Birthday, last October. It was copied to the name that you have, unfortunately, seen so frequently on your screens today, with the note that it was for family only. Please, let this be the end of it. Thank you

My apologies to all of you on the lists, for what "was" a private matter, exposed on the wrong forum. "Usually the greatest boasters are the smallest workers.

Hi, Just found out that my g-grandmother's brother is buried at Middle Ground Baptist Church. Could someone please look and see if he has a tombstone and if so, could you take a picture of it for me? Also see who is buried around him? Charles/Charlie (C. M.) Mixon b. 16 May 1872 d. 16 Feb 1928. He was married at least twice. First wife may have been a Mary and the second was Maud Bird/Byrd. Thanks to all of the wonderful people on this list. I enjoy reading all of the messages even though I do not write often. All responses will be welcomed. Linda My email address is: [email protected]

Hello All! Well we are now less than one month away from the highly-anticipated HODGES reunion! I have really lost count of who all is coming or not coming. Plus I know that plans change, so some of you may have changed your minds. The purpose of this email is to touch base with everyone and get a good idea of who all is coming. I would ask that you take a minute or two and answer the following questions for me. I am going to snail mail a flyer out within the next week with all the information and directions and such. Quick reminder: The reunion is Saturday, June 24 in Statesboro. It will begin at noon and attendees are asked to bring their own picnic lunch. 1. What is your mailing address? ( for the flyer ) 2. Will you be able to attend the reunion and if so, how many will be in your group? 3. Remind me again of your direct line on down from Joshua Hodges, SR. 4. If you have told anyone by word of mouth about the reunion and you would like a flyer mailed to them, please give me their name and address. Also, if you already know they are coming or not coming, please let me know. If you will not be able to attend the reunion, OR if you have ended up on this list by accident and have no idea who the Hodges are, OR you are simply not interested, please let me know as well. I would like to get the flyer out ASAP, so please respond as soon as you can. I also need a head count for any materials that might be distributed at the reunion. Well I hope you all will be able to make it and I look forward to meeting everyone! Karen Hodges

Hi everyone, I am looking for additional information on the following family listed in the 1900 Bulloch Co. Census: Hodges, William J. Head June 1865 34 Farmer Nanie Wife Dec 1870 29 William J. Son Oct 1887 12 Melvin Son Oct 1889 10 Roy Son Oct 1891 8 Essey Dau Sept. 1895 4 Leon Son Mar 1898 2 Effa Dau June 1899 11 m Does anyone know who the elder William J. Hodges belongs to? In the 1880 census, the only William J. I could find that comes close in age is a ward of Calvin Deal. If anyone has information on this family or the William J.Hodges of the 1880 census, I would be grateful if you would share it with me. I am trying to help an old school friend make a connection and possibly find out that she is a cousin of my husband! Thanks in advance for your help, Karen Hodges

Hi Pat, I received some Hendrix and Woods information via snail mail today. William Anderson Woods b. 28 Nov 1839 Bulloch Co., GA married Annie Newton. Children: William, male b. 1866 Alcester ?, sex unknown b. 1868 Homer, male, b. 1872 Thomas, male b. 1876 I think the listing for the second child may be Alice Woods, because 1868 is the birth year I show for her. There are no spouses listed for Anderson's children. Maybe someone else on the list can confirm whether Alice was his daughter or not. Hope this helps, Deb Does anyone have a list of the children of Anderson Woods b. about 1840, son of Joshua Woods of Bulloch County. Any help would be appreciated. Pat R.

Hi, Does anyone have any information on Rebecca Rigdon born about 1824, either in Georgia or SC? She married Malachi Denmark in 1843 in Bulloch Co. Malachi was the son of Malachi Denmark and Jane Wise. I am trying to figure out who Rebecca's parents were. Any information on her, her siblings or family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Deb

Hello all, I am trying to get in touch with Mr. Carol Hendrix who is a member of Union Methodist Church in Statesboro, GA. Does anyone know if this person has email? I thought I had seen this name on one of the lists, but cannot find an email address. I appreciate any help you can provide! Thanks, Karen Hodges

If anyone has access to the 1900 Bulloch Co. census, would you please do a lookup for me and please tell me who these two (Mixon) sisters were living near? I do not know what their husbands first names were. I would also like to know of any Mixons that they were living near and also their childrens names and dates if possible. I know this is asking a lot, but I cannot find this census transcribed online. Viola 'Ola' Bishop b. 22 Jul 1889 and Hattie Freeman b. 26 Jan 1885 Thanks a million, Linda

Henry Davis married Levicy Baker in 1915 in Bulloch Co. Does anyone have any information on this family. Who were the parents of Henry Davis and Levicy Baker? Dot Baker

Hi Nancy, I have: John Deal was born in 1755 in Deal, England. He died in Western NC. He had the following child: Simon Deal was born in 1779 and died on 7 Nov 1837. I also have: MATTHEW GAY was born Abt. 1780 in Franklin County, NC, and died August 27, 1843 in Emanuel County, GA. He married MARTHA DEAL March 10, 1804 in Bulloch County, GA, daughter of JOHN DEAL and MARY ?. I think Simon and Martha were brother and sister. I haven't keyed my Deal or Gay information into my genealogy program yet, but I have a Deal file I can send you, if you want it. I also have a Gay file, but I think you sent me that one! LOL Deb Good afternoon, Does anyone here know of the marriage of John Deal(Dell,Dial) to Mary Hodges around 1778 not sure if Bulloch Co. or another state.
