This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HAVENS, FULTS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Hh.2ADE/255 Message Board Post: Thomas Henry Kingman Havens, b. 1819 in NY, died on April 14, 1879 in Glasgow, Monroe Co. He had moved there in 1876 after the death of his wife and apparently to be near his son Hedge Havens. In 1880 Hedge lived and worked on the farm of Jacob Fults in Renault. According to a family biography Thomas HK Havens was buried near Glasgow. He selected his own burial place, which was located on a high bluff, and the monument can be seen with a glass for a distance of twenty miles. Another souces give the burial site as Lake Mildred. I am interested in the location of his burial and the monument that can be "seen for twenty miles."

If your roots are in VA (and remember VA could really mean lots of other places like NC, TN, KY, IN, etc depending on the time frame) then I would recommend looking among the people of Buffalo Ridge if you suspect Cherokee heritage. Those Cherokee that lived in VA (and the DID live there) had mostly left the area and moved southward by the end of the Revolution. Those that remained behind are mostly lost forever to the Cherokee records because their ties were cut. It doesn't mean they weren't Cherokee, but are now lost Cherokee. > > Also, please keep in mind that unless they were very famous Cherokees, there will be next to no records found prior to about 1800 as there was no written Cherokee language and therefore no records until the government began keeping them. There are mentions of the famous chiefs like Attakullkulla and Ostenaco, The Ridge (Major Ridge), etc, but only because they were the leaders and interfaced with the whites and white governments.

Where can one obtain, or look at, Wunnenberger maps of Monroe County? They were made beginning or after 1856. Special interest - the territory covered by Prairie du Long and Prairie du Rounde. Coordinates of cemeteries are given on the Cemetery List on the Monroe County Gen-Web.

Congratulations Janet and Pat. The chancery court records are an accomplishment. I know, because I spent two or three days hopelessly looking through them for a divorce which I never found. Perhaps now? Many of us thank you. Janet McLain Jllynjam@aol.com
