Posted on: Warren County, Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/Warren/11378 Surname: Truitt, Emanuel, Kellogg ------------------------- Betty, Hi! I'm glad to "meet" you. It looks as if Barbara will be a great resource for you, as she has for me, in providing information regarding the descendants of Mahala Truitt Emanuel. You and Barbara are closer "cousins" than you and I, and I know that Barbara has more information regarding the family of Alice Emanuel Clements than I do. So, I'm glad to see the two of you have made connections! I descend from Mahala Trtuitt Emanuel's brother, James A. Truitt. Mahala and James were two of a family of at least eight children who were born to James Truitt and his spouse Belinda Bowen Truitt. I can provide information on Mahala's brothers and sisters, if you are interested. Mahala's oldest sister was Elizabeth Ann Truitt who married Henry Mortimer Kellogg. One of Elizabeth's descendants is Jhan Jensen. Jhan and his wife Sarah have a Web Site in which they have posted some information from the family tree, as well as some old family photos. Barbara Eggum loaned some of her precious old family photos to Sarah Jensen, and Sarah has posted them at her Web Site. Go to: http://www.haji.com/sarah/ancestry.htm And then click where it says "Emanuel Family Album." You'll want to look at all of the photos, I'm sure. There are two photos of Alice Emanuel Clements included at the Web Site, one of her as a child in the photo entitled "Emanuel Family" and one as a young woman with her sister Kitty. Until later, Lottie in Mesa, AZ
