This is the reminder of the meeting of Harrison County Genealogical Society. It will be tomorrow, Saturday, May 4th at 10:00 A.M. on the 2nd floor of the Waldomore. I intended to send this earlier and got into something else and I didn't get around to it. Hope to see you at the meeting tomorrow. Ruby

Good series!  It's good to spotlight the founding families of our county. <Sharon>< From: "cn8ff@aol.com" <cn8ff@aol.com> To: hcgs@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 7:41 PM Subject: [HCGS] WVHCGS Web Site update The Harrison County Genealogical Society Web Site has been updated for May 1, 2013.

This is well worth the read. A black man from Mississippi gets a little respect. That should make national news. You have heard of the Tuskegee Airman.  Col Robinson made it possible from them to be.

SIMMONS AND THE LEGACY OF COLONEL JOHN CHARLES ROBINSON OF GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI, WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF HIS BOOK THE MAN CALLED BROWN CONDOR:  THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FIGHTER PILOT.      WHEREAS, THE MAN CALLED BROWN CONDOR:  THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FIGHTER PILOT is an unlikely story about a Mississippi aviator, told well by Author Thomas E. Simmons, who researched his subject for 3 decades, and now he has put it all together in a narrative that reads like a novel; and      WHEREAS, John Charles Robinson was born in 1903 in Florida and grew up in a very segregated South.  His father died in an accident shortly after he was born.  His mother moved with him and his sister to Gulfport, Mississippi.  In 1910, when John was 7, he saw his first aircraft, a float plane that taxied to the beach.  John Robinson knew that he wanted one day to fly an airplane, and he set out to overcome the obstacle of segregation.  He did this by learning to excel at school and later at work, to never let disappointments overcome his determination and to wear his successes with modesty.  A loving family buttressed his good nature and self-confidence; and      WHEREAS, for college, he enrolled in the Tuskegee Institute and learned to become an automobile mechanic.  He decided there would be better job opportunities in the North, so he moved to Detroit.  He earned a reputation as an exceptionally good mechanic.  Moving to Chicago, he wanted to enroll in the Curtiss-Wright Aviation School, but black students were not welcome.  Although he had a full-time job in an auto garage, he signed on as a nighttime janitor in a Curtiss-Wright classroom, absorbing the instructor's ground-school lectures.  The instructor realized how determined John was and persuaded the school to let him enroll; and      WHEREAS, John went on to form a small flying school, encouraging young black men to enroll.  This fact came to the attention of Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who was working to modernize his country.  He invited Robinson to come to Africa to head his Air Force.  Much of the book is devoted to this personal adventure.  As the threat of an invasion by Mussolini's Fascist Italy grew, Robinson built a cadre of black pilots and ground crews.  Unarmed, the small fleet of airplanes could perform one essential task in a country with primitive lines of communication:  ferry messages back and forth between the front lines and the Emperor's general staff in the Capital, Addis Ababa.  The author gives us a "you-are-there" feeling as Robinson and his pilots navigate the difficult terrain of Ethiopia, dive into clouds to elude Italian pursuit aircraft, and take off and land under hazardous conditions.  Then-Colonel Robinson also witnessed Italian aircraft spraying mustard gas on thousands of Ethiopian ground troops; and      WHEREAS, word of Robinson's exploits came back to America, first to black communities and newspapers, then to the general press.  His dream of making it possible for many young black men to become flyers came true.  Briefly, he was nationally famous.  Ultimately, the Italians conquered Ethiopia, but only temporarily.  Selassie escaped to England and John Robinson to America.  Back home, his aviation school thrived.  Tuskegee, to which had he proposed an aircraft school in the 1930s, finally had one and turned out hundreds of the famous Tuskegee Airmen, who gained fame in World War II; and      WHEREAS, after the war, Selassie invited Robinson back to Ethiopia, first to rebuild his Air Force, then to create Ethiopian Airlines.  As with everything else this remarkable man did in his short life (he died at age 51), he performed these jobs with determination and thoroughness.  His lifelong triumph over adversity belongs to the greatest of American success stories; and      WHEREAS, Thomas E. Simmons is the author of four books to date:  The Brown Condor, Escape from Archangel, Forgotten Heroes of World War II and his latest, The Man Called Brown Condor.  He grew up in Mississippi, attended Marion Military Institute, the U.S. Naval Academy, the University of Southern Mississippi and the University of Alabama.  He served as commercial Captain of a 70-foot sailing vessel, has been a pilot since the age of 16, has flown professionally, and participated in airshows flying aerobatics in open-cockpit biplanes.  In 1960, he served as an Artillery Officer in Korea.  He has traveled the world; and      WHEREAS, thanks to the United States and brave pilots like Colonel Robinson, colonialism was defeated in Ethiopia; and it is with great pride that we bring attention to this Mississippi Author and the subject of his excellent book:      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN, That we do hereby recognize Mississippi Author Thomas E. Simmons and the legacy of Colonel John Charles Robinson of Gulfport, Mississippi, who is the subject of his book The Man Called Brown Condor:  The Forgotten History of an African American Fighter Pilot, and extend our best wishes to Mr. Simmons for his continuing literary contributions.      BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this resolution be presented to Thomas Simmons, forwarded to the Mississippi Arts Commission, and be made available to the Capitol Press Corps. ________________________________ The resolution was signed by the following: Tate Reeves, Lt. Governor, President of the Senate Philip Gunn, Speaker of the House of Representatives Senator(s) John Horhn, District 26 and Deborah Dawkins, District 48 ________________________________ -- Philip L.

Here is a message from our lifetime member Paul Petit and I'm sure it will be informative to many on the list. Ruby From: cpettit@telis.net [mailto:cpettit@telis.net] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 6:03 PM To: recasto47@frontier.com Subject: Message from West_Virginia:WV DNA Project Updated Web Page Hello All I've been plagued with computer problems since last August and seem to finally have things back to normal.... I've been working off webmail off and on .. so if any of you have tried to contact me and not received a response, please feel free to resend. 1. I have set up haplogroup subgroups for those with common ancient ancestry to see results which are similar and be able to see colorized mutations of individual makers. FTDNA had some limitations in size of subgroups which are fixed and with no subgroups there is not ability to use the colorized genetic distance. 2. FTDNA also keeps updating their computers, programs and organization for test results. For those who have not looked in while please re-familiarize yourself with the new formats and functions. 3. Recently we lost a WV Cousin Ethel Nielsen who has been working on family lines in Harrison County. Ethel and her husband have been very generous with the HCGS. She will be missed. She facilitated a cousin to do a DNA test. A few days after she passed I was contacted by another researcher I have been corresponding with her over as Ohio line from the same time period, same last name and same HG. Ethel must still be working hard on the "other side of the river". This brings up the issue about whether you have thought about the fate of your DAN contribution to the public genealogical and genetic data for future use. I am finding avid genealogists do their history for their family and the family who has n enjoyed the results of their efforts do not many times have any one to continue the search. FTDAN has added and Beneficiary page to all tests kits. You should think about what will happen to your DNA test after you pass. You can consider anyone interested in keeping eh information available and doing additional testing should be considered. 4. I would also point out that storage of DNA for the 25 year period has not reached that point and we do not know of DNA actually will be sore for that long. I know I spoke with Bennet Greenspan about autosomal testing at the Salt Lake Conference a couple of years ago and he told me that they found a good percentage of DNA tests pulled out of storage for autosomal testing when it was made available turned out not to be viable. It is unknown what the problems was - possibly inadequate samples in the first place. You may want to submit additional DNA anytime you do an upgrade. 5. We have had situations where DNA testers find difficulty understanding DNA test results in their surname projects- Projects like the WV DNA project may not help you very well with surname line research with DNA, but it does also provide you with additional resources for getting opinions and advice.. it is easy to give general advice but sometimes specific applications can be tricky- people with other experiences in other projects come together in geographic project like this and might be able to give you that one pointer which you need to make things work. 6. Please be ambassadors for this project and DNA testing in general a it does provide a community perspective of NDA which p[assed thorough a particular place. It is a way for people to get into the DAN signatures of all their lines which may not be evident in Surname projects. 7. For those not aware, FTDA has dropped the price of the 12 marker test to $49. These are not genealogically significant but they can be used to prove a line may not be related to your line, also get an idea if it MIGHT be related and be away to get other DNA into the databank and storage. 8. I am giving a presentation on DNA next month in So Cal _ I am interested in getting screen shot of DNA test results form all companies.. particularly success stories.... IF anyone is interested in assisting with this project please elt me know what your skills are and how you can help..

Apparently he was able to buy some of this land as, in 1661 at the probate of the will of Daniel Ringe, Daniel Davisson was listed as being “in possession of a farm of 110 acres.” Another record states that on February 14, 1664 he was granted 69 acres by Richard Hubbard. This was from an original land grant to Hubbard’s father, (the Reverend Russell Lee Davisson, A History and Genealogy of The 5 Davissons - Twelve Generations 1630-1992.

Sorry to be so much trouble. The paragraph is in the right place - you need to exchange the following words in bold for the footnote as follows: allowed to marry the daughter of a prosperous farmer unless he or someone had paid off his indenture or he had been released and in a position to support a family. It’s possible he was indentured to Thomas Low, father of Margaret. Marrying the bosses daughter would certainly add spice to his story. At the time of his marriage he was living on [renting] the farm of Daniel Ringe. Apparently he was able to buy some of this land as, in 1661 at the probate of the will of Daniel Ringe, Daniel Davisson was listed as being “in possession of a farm of 110 acres.” Another record states that on February 14, 1664 he was granted 69 acres by Richard Hubbard. This was from an original land grant to Hubbard’s father, *the Reverend William Hubbard. On September 30, 1667, the Selectmen entered an order, “that Daniel Davisonhave leave to build a house and a little fencing.” * * * “Daniel Davisson moved to Newbury where he was a man of note, a major of the Essex Regiment and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. (Farmer’s Register of the First Settlers of New England, p. 80).”“Daniel Davisson moved to Newbury where he was a man of note, a major of the Essex Regiment and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. (Farmer’s Register of the First Settlers of New England, p. 80).” * * Was the .pdf document messed up? The foot notes on the website version aren't correct but it doesn't matter a whole lot. I use word perfect but thought it converted to a .pdf okay. I don't have the full version of MS Word so I doubt if it would convert into that. Let me know what you need me to do.

We want to welcome our newest member to the Harrison County Genealogical Society's members only list. Harold Reed Hdr2@frontier.com I heard him talk about these surnames: I'm sure he has more but I did not get his application today. Reed McCauley Mitchell Price Haddix I also heard him say they were from Ritchie County. Ruby

The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this date in the downstairs of the Waldomore. There were 8 members in attendance. One new member that joined last month was with us and he is Harold Reed, and we want to welcome him and help him anyway that we can. David said that we would not be taking a Spring trip to Washington, DC as there is not enough interest at this time. A December, 2012 newsletter has not been prepared and David said, they are talking about putting out a Spring issue having it prepared for mailing through Pre Sort of Fairmont, WV. Diana needs help getting the newsletter ready for print, if there are any volunteers to help her, please contact her at djhcgh@gmail.com We have been asked about the pedigree charts and Barbara Palmer has them and is proof reading them and David said he had not heard from her to see how she was coming along with them. The scholarship applications have been delivered to the high schools of Harrison County and the date for them to be back in is April 20th. Susan House, David Houchin and Ted Wolfe is the committee that will be reading them and they will be meeting on May 4th, probably before and after the regular meeting to select a winner of the scholarship. David has ordered a book, American Publication before the census of 1790. Should be a very interesting book. The roof is being replaced on the Waldomore and it is very badly needed. When the roof is done they will replace the wiring. David and Ted will be going to the Ritchie County Fair on April 27th. Ted is going to see if he can reserve a pavilion at Norwood Park again this year for our annual picnic. He is going to try and get Monday, August 12th and that way David will be able to attend the picnic. April is the month for election of officers and we voted to return the same slate of officers as we now have. The next meeting will be the 4th of May and David will let us know if the meeting will be upstairs or downstairs. There is a lot of work to getting a roof on the Waldomore.
