Happy New Year Listmembers: I trust that everyone had a great Christmas season. I would like to welcome all the new subbers to the list recently. I am going to be running the roll call I spoke of a while back. For the new members, a roll call is simply a request for everyone to get their queries on the list for the best possible results. In doing this please remember a few items and guidelines. PLEASE DO NOT JUST HIT REPLY AND SEND THE POSTING TO ME...SEND IT TO THE LIST. Let's begin this roll call right now on Monday January 1st 2001 and run it until next Sunday next night at midnight January 7th 2001. To make your query work harder for you... keep in mind the old rules of news reporting and include as many of the following as possible: SUBJECT FIELD: To get the most from your query and make your query command attention, place the SURNAME, LOCATION, YEAR in the subject field. Remember ! ! ! ! Many subscribers belong to multiple mailing lists; therefore, many go through their mail looking at subject fields... only reading those that have descriptive subject names. Unfortunately, messages entitled "Question", "Help", "IMPORTANT!", "My Family", "My Line", "My Grandfather", etc., are deleted without ever being opened. WHO: State the names of people as completely as you can. WHAT: Try to limit your query to one or two specific questions or bits of information. Post other queries with additional questions rather than load all your questions into one query. In this way, each of your questions will stand out and get attention. WHEN: Dates are important, if you don't know the day, month and year try to put in a period (1790s, late 1800s etc.) WHERE: Mention the location of events (birth, marriage, death, etc.) in the body of the query. Include their migration path if you can. WHY: Why are you searching for this(these) individual(s)? Describe your connection to him/her. HOW: How your query appears will often get subscriber's attention. Check spelling, grammar and format. REPETITION: Once you have an acceptable looking query, save it and update it as necessary. Use it again bi-weekly to touch base with new members. Also, you may use it on web sites that accepts queries. REMEMBER: Your goal is to get information. A list server (discussion group), such as this, is an excellent forum for helping you get that information. Make your query work! By following these recommendations, your query stands a better chance of being read and you may make that great contact that you need. GOOD QUERIES CONNECT... CAUTION... You may wish to consider withholding personal data on living descendants. Because, at the moment, once your message has been archived on RootsWeb, neither the data within nor the message can be removed from the archives. ALWAYS: Be sure to thank the person(s) who answer your queries, whether or not their answers have any usable info or not. Remember, they might not have any info now, but just might obtain some, and be reluctant to send to an ungrateful person. TRY: To answer as many queries as you may be able to. In this I mean ones that you have info for. NOT just to say "I don't know anything". Also make certain that if your answer doesn't apply to more then a couple persons, please send it privately and not to the group. Many of our lists are set to reply to the group, so check the address before sending.

Still looking for information on Celia Cain, b. 23 Jan 1797, m. to James H. Barham Newsom, b. 17 Feb 1793. In my records they had 13 children; so I don't think that she died early. However, I cannot find any information on her, and someone I ran into awhile back even had my James H. B. Newsom married to a Sallie Crane. I'm perplexed! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would be most interested in any information pertaining to the Newsoms or to the Sloughs of Owen Co., IN. Is the book you reference available through the Owen Co.

Greetings Listers, My name is James Rader and I am currently researching my mother's maiden name DICKEY. Her father, Arthur DICKEY, was born Feb. 02, 1895 possibly near the town of Patricksburg in Marion Twp., Owen county, Indiana. His DICKEY ancestors first settled in the Marion township area of Owen county with the migration of his great-grandparents, Emanuel and Mary Magdalenah (MISHLER) DICKEY from Tuscarawas county, Ohio about 1851. To date, I have been unsuccessful in finding Arthur's birth record. Arthur's parents are Eli Ervin DICKEY, b. 1874; d. 1930, and Catherine (Cassie) RED or REID, m. Feb 28, 1893. Arthur DICKEY died on May 11, 1973 in Fremont, Ohio. I would welcome any help in locating Arthur's birth record or any other information about his family.

R.W., You probably already have this info, but just in case..... Excerpts from a book written by David E. Beem, 1917, "The Daniel Beem Family" - ...Besides those already mentioned, the settlers who came early in the year 1817 were John Bartholomew,Thomas McNaught, John Mitchell, John Hudson, Hugh Barnes, Isaiah Cooper, William McDonald, Jacob McIntrye, JAMES BIGGER, Dudley Milner, Richard Kirby and William Anderson. These were all who arrived in time to make a crop in 1817. ...The first marriages were those of JAMES BIGGER and Thomas Allen, who married Daughters of Philip Hart on the same day, having obtained licenses at Vincennes, before Owen County was organized. ...[Occurred after March 1820]....James Galletly, surveyor, proceeded to lay out the town [Spencer, IN], which he did into 272 lots. He was assisted by Samuel Alexander, JAMES BIGGER, Samuel Fain, John Dunn, Thomas Allen, Arthur (son of David) Johnson, Enoch Beem, Andrew Evans, Levi Beem, John R. Freel and George Hambleton. ..... From a listing of Owen County Marriage Records, 1819-1834 BIGGER, Stephen L. - Sally Vaughn 6/7/1827 Hope this helps, Pat

Terresa, Can't help much on her ancestors but do have a little on her decendents. I had FTM cut it off at my great grandfathers generation as there might be a few of the next generation around yet. Like you and many others I'm looking for the key to several ancestors past. Mine main brick wall has Capt. James Bigger in front of it. Now if I can get my eldest brother to make a trip to D.C.
