My father said that he thinks that Mr. Bryant O'Bannon's family had Mr. O'Bannon's body returned to Texas some years ago and that Hyman Mercer helped to facilitate that. My father has had these documents for many years in an old trunk and they are in pretty good condition, considering they are as old as they are. He is interested in finding out if they are of any historical or could be valuable. If they were mine, I would probably let you have the originals. I belong to The Mormon faith and we treasure these types of documents because it is part of our lineage. E-mail me your address and I will make copies for you.

Could be, that would be a good one also .... but he may mean the STATE CENSUS', some of which were taken in the in between years (in between, for instance, the 1850 and 1860, meaning "1855", for example.) I dont think all states did them routinely the same, but many do have State census' taken in different years from the FEDERAL CENSUS, which was taken every ten years in this country, beginning with 1790.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Moore, Meadows Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/He.2ADE/238.346.354.356.358.361.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Janet: It is great to "meet" you! Yes, these Moore, Bloodworth and Meadows families are all related. I don't have too much on the Bloodworth family but I have a lot on the Moore and Meadows line. There are several marriages: Henry Bloodworth and Dorcus Meadows Henry S. Bloodworth and Elizabeth Moore Henry S. Bloodworth and Nancy Moore Abraham Moore and Caroline Bloodworth James Moore and Elizabeth Meadows (my husband's line) I don't know where they were married. My proof is coming from the death certificate of their son Jasson Moore. I believe, but haven't been able to prove that the father of Joseph Meadows is John Meadows RW soldier who is in the household of Joseph Meadows in the 1840 Wilkinson Co census (second page where RW soldiers in the household are listed). I have the pension record for John Meadows but his children aren't named. John Meadows was in Spartanburg Co. SC until about 1838 when he deeded his homestead property to his son John Meadows and I believe he then went to live with Joseph Meadows in Wilkinson Co. This RW soldier John Meadows appears from the census records to have married at least 3 times and fathered about 21 children but we have only been able to actually prove one, the John named in the deed record. On the Moore side, we recently had my husband's DNA tested for the ongoing DNA project and he is matching the Moore family that originally came from Ireland, settled in NJ and went on to NC, SC, GA, TN, KY. I still haven't been able to find out exactly how they fit together but at least with this DNA test I have a direction to work in. I don't have your Lula Florence Moore in my database. Do you know who her parents are? There are several Moore families in Wilkinson County so I am always anxious to find out more about them! I will gladly share all I have on these families with you! It is so great to find a cousin! Janet Moore
