There are currently 309 people subscribed to the list, and of course we are not going to make everyone happy all the time. But please try to be as courteous to everyone subscribed as possible. If you are responding to a message on the list with info relevant only to the original poster, PLEASE REPLY ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER. This goes ESPECIALLY for messages like "nope he's not in my line" and "good to hear from you," etc. When the list gets exceptionally busy, like it is right now, we have lots of people drop (which is NOT A GOOD THING, those people may be your fifth cousins and no one has made the connection yet) because they get tired of wading through all the personal replies that go out to the whole list. Plus, I get nasty notes from all the irritated ones. :> > > 3. Rootsweb has been updating the lists and switching some things around, and a fair number of folks are having trouble posting to the list, etc. If you have problems and have already emailed me, please give me a day or so, and I promise I will get back to you (I have about 22 people to check on so far). If you have not emailed me about problems but are having them, please let me know. > > FINALLY, since we have probably already irritated all those likely to be irritated by lots of messages, I would like to do an official "ROLL CALL" of the list. We used to do one twice a year, and since I started having my kids, that seems to have gone by the wayside (my fault, definitely, and by the way we are adding yet another little branch to our family tree in 2007). :> Everyone who hasn't already, please send a message to the list, telling us which families you're researching, and in which locations.

This takes me back into TN for one group and KY for another.

Angela, thank you for the clarification of what we should write for help with our family history. ALL my ancestors were in southern IL by the 1860 census.... the following were in Williamson Co., IL Jacob Colboth/Colbroth who was in Williamson Co. by 1825 we don't know who he married, but he is buried in Drake Cem. Nicholas and Ezekiel Choat/e were there very early, they were in Gallatin Co., IL in the 1840's then Johnson and Williamson Co's We believe one of our ancestors was Wilson Henderson [Rev War soldier] He was a minister at the Bankston Church James Lowery/ry was married in 1816 in Wake Co., N.C., he was in Williamson Co., IL in the 1840's. His wife was Cary Jones...... his son, Green Lowery was my great grandfather. He married Rachel Casey and then Lucinda Charlotta Smyth. My great grandfather was Larkin T. Smyth... he was b. in VA in 1800, was married in Hardeman, Co., TN in 1826, he was in IL in 1850, he died in 1858, in Williamson Co., some of his family moved to Dent Co., MO. Sorry, I have more ancestors from southern IL, but this is what I'll write about now.... Thank you, Louise Greer Erekson

Louise, You might try looking for your James Lowery in Wilson TN. I found a James Lowery in Wilson TN in 1820. Many families came from Wilson TN into Williamson CO IL., Including many of my ancestors. lgerekson <lgerekson@bresnan.net> wrote: Angela, thank you for the clarification of what we should write for help with our family history.

Pat; What Chitty Family are you kin to? Mine starts with William Tippet and Narcisis Isabella Chitty Tippet! I don't know who her father was or any of her Brothers or Sisters! They were from Williamson County around Herrin, Spillertown and are buried in the Oakwood Cemetery in Carterville! Does this ring a bell to you! John PS: My Grandmother was Beatrice Mabel Tippet and GGrandfather was Lafayette Tippet, Williams son! patchitty@charter.net wrote: > ---- "Place wrote: > > > > Angela, > Do you have a connection thru Chamness with Florence Chitty?
