I am researching a Zelphia Thompson who married John Windrow in Rutherford County, TN. Zelphia's mother was Martha M. Thomson but do not know who her father was. The Thomson's were from Bedford Co.(Bell Buckle), Tennessee, Illinois and Missouri around the mid 1800's. Any help would be appreciated. Wanda

Thank you John for the addy to Haskell. Got the phone number off of their web site. Plan on calling them tomorrow. Belle8159: Sorry I can't help you with your Lula Moore but I'm glad the information I sent helped you. Now, information I found yesterday at the genealogical library: 1920 Index Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas census +++great grandpa Stand Watie Woodall is listed as this Soundex Code: W340 State: Kansas Woodall, Watie Vol. 19, E.D. 70, Sheet 2, Line 34 Color: In Age: 21 Birthplace: Oklahoma County: Douglas Enumerated with: Haskell Institute Relationship to above: Student +++great grandma Louise Agnes Lesuer is listed as this Soundex Code: L260 State: Kansas Li Suer, Agnes Vol. 19,E.D. 70, Sheet 2, Line 51 Color: IN Age: 18 Birthplace: California County: Douglas Enumerated with: Haskell Institute Relationship to above: Student +++grandpa's sister Vida is listed as this Soundex Code: W340 State: Kansas Woodall, Vida Vol. 19,E.D. 70, Sheet 7, Line 72 Color: In Age: 19 Birthplace: Oklahoma County: Douglas Enumerated with: Haskell Institute Relationship to above: Student Also, I could find no Rainbow Camp in Siskiyou County, California BUT I did find a Rainbow Ridge in that county. A small town near Mt. Shasta. I have heard that Stand's great grandfather George Carruth Woodall had bought land in the Mount Shasta area in the 1860's. Does anybody have any information on this? I do have some information on one piece of land that he purchased. Here's what I've got. Accession/Serial#: CACAA 033574 BLM Serial#: CACAA 033754 State: CALIFORNIA Patentee Names: Henry S. Burns, George Caruth Woodall Document#: 92442 Issue Date: May 23, 1861 Land Office: Assigned for automation (what's this mean?) Acres: 160 Authority: March 17, 1842: SCRIP or NATURE of SCRIP (5 Stat. 607) (and this?) #: 1 Aliquot Parts: SW Sec/Blk: 32/ Twnshp: 31-N Range: 1-E Fract. Sect.: NO Meridian: MOUNT DIABLO State: CA Counties: SHASTA Survey Nr.: --- It kind of has me wondering. What does all of this mean? I'll go map searching to see if I can find the approximate area of the purchase. Who was Henry Burns? If they still had the land in California at this time, did Stand and Agnes meet PRIOR to Haskell? Or was the land sold and they met AT Haskell? LOL Forgive me for my wandering mind. I've always been the inquisitive/curious one. Guess I better go do some more searching. ----Valerie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

I am researching Buffington in Cherokee IT.

My grandfather, George Franklin GEREN (b. 28 Sep. 1868 in Bradley County, TN--son of William Lafayette Geren and grandson of Simeon C. Geren), married Georgia Florence CAMPBELL (b. 15 Mar 1871 in Madison County, MO--daughter of William Campbell and granddaughter of James Campbell) in Webber Falls, I.T., on 6 Jul 1890. My mother often said that they had the first marriage license issued in Indian Territory, but they were not the first couple to be married there. (I have not verified the story.) They leased land there until 1905/6 when they moved to the panhandle of Texas. Our branch of the Gerens are said to be French, first arriving in NJ. An informative book is _Through the Years_ by Mary E. Geron Countess and Jac E. Countess.

Forgot to add that my grandmother's first cousin Martha Duncan (part of the Cherokee Duncans) married a Theodore Garvin in north CA during the early 1870's--a cousin posted this info on the world connect site. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2001 2:58 PM Subject: [IT ROOTS] Guerin/Geurin > Guerin/Geurin are different spellings for Garvin, too.

The Shawnee base roll is not finalized until June. The Squirrel family I know are indeed currenly Cherokee. I once read an article that confused me, it said currently enrolled Loyal Shawnee will have the option of dual membership, I've never heard of such a thing. ...anyong going to the Shawnee celebration (over the recognition) next Saturday (I hope to...a 'commando trip' from minnesota 80) john

Testing my AOL email to see if it goes through.

Some of our AOL subscribers who have upgraded to AOL 6 are having problems with Rootsweb not allowing them to post to any mail list- including IT Roots! The problem seems to be that AOL 6 automatically composes the e-mail message into the HTML format ("language"), and the Rootsweb computers will only post the messages which are composed in "plain text". For those AOL'ers who are having problems posting here- try this: 1) Compose the email in the usual way 2) Right click inside the text area 3) Click Select All (at bottom of menu) 4) Right click inside the text area (again) 5) Click Text 6) Click Normal Then send the email in the usual way. jc

My congratulations to the Shawnees for having at last regained their Sacred Culture and the freedom and independence that reinstatement means for a great People.
