Can't find her in 1880. Sarah was born a year earlier in Greene Co., Indiana and there is no indication that the family moved. Mary is buried next to her husband in Pleasant Bethel Methodist Church Cemetery (A.K.A. Greenbriar). Photos of tombstones can be found on the myfamily.com Dyar/Dyer site under Greenbriar. Thomas, who married Rhoda Dunnigan was the father of Mary, Sally, Amy, etc. came from North Carolina. Family history has him the son of James Clark (research by Doris Dyar Thomason). Thomas arrived in Greene Co. about the same time as Caleb Jessep and probably from the same place. It is quite likely that they were related to Nancy and Rachel, but I have not found it.

Your email address came up as blocked (probably something on my end). If you'd like, try my [email protected] to correspond. John Masters is the only Masters mentioned in the 1884 Goodspeed's "History..." on page 106 as follows: "In 1859, Samuel H. Buskirk held court at the April term of the Circuit Court, under appointment from Judge Claypool. At the October term,William M. Franklin acted as Special Prosecuting Attorney. During the year, William B. Squire, Henry C. Owen, John T. Smith, William C. Andrews, William J. McIntosh, Nathan Kimball, William Blackburn, John Masters, James Jackson and Joseph W. Briggs were admitted to practice." You gave me no dates or other identifying information so I can't be sure if this is your John Masters or not. If you'd like to give a little moore, perhaps I can help you find something more. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have attached a picture that I have of her family. Of course I would love to know what pictures you have. I have several of the John W. Newsom clan. He was the oldest son of A.J. and Amy.

Martha Beasley was Locky Collings mother, according to a letter from "aunt" Martha A Burch to Emma Rhodes in 1927. Locky was the first wife of Davis and would have been my ggg grandmother. George Micajah was my gg grandfather. He married Martha Ellen Stone on Nov. 26, 1863. They had 11 children. Their fifth child was my great grandfather, Ira. Martha Ellen was the sixth child of Enoch and Sarah J. Bolin Stone. I have an obituary of Martha, but it is a handwritten copy and I'm not sure where it came from. A sister named Sarah White of Kearney, Neb., was mentioned. ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of [email protected] Sent: Mon 6/25/2007 6:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [INGREENE] George Burch Family This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
