Hi List, Anyone researching the Ragland family ca. 1800s? I believe that they have ties to the Carolinas according to the census of 1850 PCI. Thanks, Nancy Helvey

I'm sorry but I'm not around the computer too much at this time. My mother had a heart attack on Tuesday evening and wasn't found until Wednesday morning. She is currently in ICU and only time will tell at this point. I'm sorry I'm not around. But will catch up when she is out of ICU.

Steve, Recently I was permitted to borrow an old photo album that belonged to my great grandmother Jane Woodward Wilson Chilton and I made copies of the pictures. Several are of Woodwards. Some are not identified at all. The following are some that I do not know how or where they fit into the clan. Alonzo Woodward Stella Woodward (of Colorado or California) Zella Woodward Iaiah Woodward Also the following I do not know if they fit into the Woodward or Wilson line: Hattie Debinport (probably should be Davenport) Charles Colman John Bur____? Do you know if any of these are possibly children or grandchildren etc. of James Henry and Maria Gibson Woodward? I would be happy to share copies of these pictures with anyone who has a connection to these people. Jewell Researching Wilson & Woodward - ------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?

Hello - I have just joined the list and am looking for a family by the name of Meese that came from Tamaroa, Perry, Illinois. They are Joseph P. born 11 July 1890, Harry and John Meese. If this information sounds familiar to anyone, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much - Robin Bowman

If someone has access to phone directories of Du Quoin for 1954/55, I would appreciate a look for Abraham Wyman. Thanks, H. Michael McTeer

I have a........ Jonathan Wyman in Clay Co. Ill who married Mary J. Joplin, Jan. 15, 1850. This was a second marriage for her after death of husband, XX Joplin. It seems from the census of 1850 that this could be a second marriage for him too. Gwendy Baldwin
