I'm writing everyone in my address book because I received an email from my email address that I don't recognize. It's subject line said "Jacques" and it contained two website links. I did NOT send this to myself and though we've run a virus scan and haven't found anything, I fear something has hit our system and is mailing itself out. Please use caution opening anything from our address. We'll continue to scan our system for virus and will notify everyone should anything come up. Sorry for any trouble, Sharon

The first item should read: Isaac, s. Clarrissa Tryon, b. June 4, 1809 This is according to the Barbour Collection of Vital Records for Litchfield. The Jehiel Gates and children listed in the second item is my family line. Anyone wishing to share info is welcome to contact me. I have quite a bit of info, but still a lot of holes!

She lived with her sister and two of the youngest of the 12 siblings after her mother passed (circa 1967). Later she moved in with her brother John and his family in Atlanta. She attended Therrell High School in Atlanta and was supposed to graduate in August of 1970 (maybe an early graduation). She entered the Florence Crittenton Home in Atlanta on October 2,1970 and lived there until I was born January 4, 1971.

Furthermore, I doubt that anyone else in my (maternal) birth family knows about me other than her brother John and his wife.

I would check in the Roxbourough Park, Douglas County, Co. ,Court records and funeral home records . Maybe they could supply you with the info you are looking for. Even her death certificate might have the needed information and "usually" funeral homes have quite a bit of information and possibly a copy of her obituary. Good Luck.

She married a Daniels, Thomas Sturgon, and Sameul Elston. She was killed by Elston 6/11/1911 in Roxbourough Park, Douglas Co., CO, at a picnic. Her children were, William Daniels, Armina M., Frank, Minnie, Ruby, and Sylvia Jane. In 1900 she was in Chautaugua Co., Bellville Twp, KS. and most of her children were born around that area. She is my great grandmother and I have the newspaper articles concerning her murder. I have been searching all everywhere but have been unable to find what family she originated from. So if anybody has any ideas it would be greatly aprecitated.

I'm guessing he was born before 1790, since this Sarah Wright seems to have been born about 1795, or thereabouts. A Sarah Gates is listed in the 1840 Rockingham census as living next to Roderick Moxley, my gr-gr-gr-grandfather, who married a Permelia Gates... probably the daughter of Sarah. Sarah was probably a widow by this time, but still has a pair of 10-20 year-old children living with her.

I believe he may have been born in PA then family removed to the Rowan Co NC area when he was about 4 years old. J.P. supposedly married Elizabeth Bullion and they left NC a few years later, going to TN then KY and on to IL. I am not certain this JP is my 4th great grandfather, his father was supposed to be Jost/Yost Goetz and he had 3 brothers, John, Michael, and George. Does any of this sound at all familiar to you?
