Hi: My name is Becky Howell. I am the County Coordinator for the Haywood County NCGENWEB. I am also a member of the board of directors of the National Allison Family Association and a few other genealogy based organisations. In other words, I'm obsessed with genealogy, especially obsessed with cemeteries. My main descendancies are as follows: 1. John Howell of Wales and Isle of Wight, Va. 2. Thomas Allanson of London, England and Charles County, Md. 3. James Micknab (McNabb) of Glen Dochart, Perthshire, Scotland and Monroe, Pa. 4. Edward Leatherwood of Annapolis, Md. 5. Solomon and Fanna Gibson of Haywood County, NC. The Gibsons are my brick wall. The ancestors of neither Solomon or Fanna can be determined. 6. Thomas Nathaniel and Isabella Downing Edwards of Western North Carolina. The names of their parents are undiscovered as well. I have 5 books on the cemeteries of Haywood County NC published at this time and hope to add more books in the spring. I also have 1 book of photos of Haywood Countians published at this time. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nchaywoo/booksforsale.htm Becky Howell Haywood County NCGENWEB County Coordinator National Allison Fam.

Becky, I have a thought about your missing ancestors.. is it possible that they were American Indian? Their names could be names that they were assigned and there would not be any ancestors with that last name if that is the case. I have found that in my family from the early 1800's. They went from Georgia into the Carolinas during that time. -beverley- ----- Original Message ----- From: DERWYDN@aol.com To: GAUNION-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 1:49 PM Subject: [GAUNION] Introducing myself Hi: My name is Becky Howell.
