PLEASE, DO NOT send any of these posts to me. Send them to the list. PLEASE, DO NOT just send a list of surnames, place something to get results.

Ken: Thank you for responding, but No it was not at the place "Do you want password remembered". It was at the bottom, after the agreement to accept terms of site where you indicate you do accept and want to continue. I have already tried about 3 times and each time I am asked to give a new screen name and password, which I do and which is not accepted. Nell

What a wonderful writer you are -- I loved your story!! Thanks so much. Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert at iggy29@scican.net (An Iowa native living in Martinsville, IN) Larry M.

Dick Smith has a good point: why DID so many families leave Ky. and Tenn. for Owen Co. after sampling Iowa and Missouri? One of my ancestors, Bolen Greenberry Baugh turned up in Owen Co. after his birth in 1823 in Ky. I can't find anything on his family in Ky., however. He married an Indiana native, Jennie Edwards, in 1844 in Owen Co. Another ancestor, Harvey Stephens, was born in Tenn. in the 1820s or 1830s. He married an Indiana native, Malinda Browning, in Hendricks Co. in 1852, and their first child, John W. Stephens III, was born in Owen Co. in 1853. Again, I can find nothing on his family in Tenn., nor anything on her Indiana family. Several of the Baughs and the Stephenses then ended up in Iowa and Missouri AFTER their sojourn in Owen Co., however. Does anyone recognize any of my above ancestors? Terri in Seattle

Evening, Just spent a half hour or so perusing a stack of unread email on this list. *grin* happens all the time in the summer. A few thoughts - and my apologies to the originator - I will always be intrigued by migratory nature of my Weatherly ancestry. According to family legend the line was brought to the colonies by my 5th great grandfather Abner (of Wales), a casualty of the Battle of Guilford Court House. From his day until my fathers generation - none in my line died in the state in which they were born. From NC, VA, TN IN IA MN each generation faced a new frontier. While my immediate line turned north from IA - other descendants of my 3g-grandfather went south from IA to MO and on to TX. Others bypassed MN for ND then west to OR and WA. Over time I have become even more fascinated with the similiar paths followed by so many of our ancestors. If we stop to consider a moment we should not find that so unusual. Many of these families had sojourned together in the past. That knowledge and association had to prove important when the time came to move on. I believe that a strong motivator for the movement from NC - VA to IN was the slave movement. My line moved on to IA when my 3g-grandfather died at age 52 in Owen County. Was this in reaction to the illness that claimed him - or that the eldest son had already migrated to IA - providing home and shelter for Mother and younger siblings? I am always thrilled when I see a surname that I grew up with in southwestern Minnesota appear in North Carolina. I found a reference to my 4g-grandfather in the ancestry of a family who appeared in MN who became friends with my father and uncle - completely unaware that there was a common ancestor a few generations back. I think that we no longer appreciate the continuity of community that brought our ancestors onto this continent and fostered the exploration and settlement of it over the past 300 hundred years. Someone mentioned Land Office records. Thanks for the reminder - I had laid that aside a while back. The jog in memory triggered a thought that I had not entertained in the past. As a result I found a land grant to what almost certainly is my paternal grandmothers great grandfather. At the moment it is primarily conjecture - the given name is the middle name of her grandfather - - - And I know that her grandmother was visiting relatives in the given county when her grandfather died. Thanks for the little clues - Oh yes - there were "computers" back in 1982. Actually there were computers long before that. While not revealing more than I care to - I will tell you that the first computer that I "programmed" - I did it by moving wires from one point to another. By the time we got to 1982 the IBM PC was either on the market - or a poorly kept secret. As some one else observed - they will crash - you will lose data - you will not have the backup you wish you had when the inevitable occurs. It was no easier to back up 200k of data on a 400k total data capacity system than it is today to back up 40gig of data. There has never been an easy way to do so - - - in fact I could write a new "law." The more important the data is to you the more difficult it will be to back up - - - and the more likely it will be lost in a crash of some sort. So -- just a point of curiosity. Has anyone on this list ever heard of the Hillsville, VA Gun Show - or attended it ?? I ask because my father-in-law is one of the individuals in Hillsville who becomes a minor slum landlord for the few days it is on. This small town of 5 - 6 thousand grows to more than 50 thousand while it happens. - - - and I am damned fool enough to have assured the in-laws that we would be there this year for the GS. Maybe it is because I am looking for company in my misery! Night all! @W@

Ron, To the best of my knowledge, none of my LONG family traveled to Iowa. My line began, per my research, in Somerset Co. PA, moved to Coshocton/Holmes/Tuscarawas Co. OH and then on to Owen/Clay/LaGrange Co. IN. Some did more west into KS. My HENRICKS ancestor spent some time in Clinton Co. IA.

Madison, IN is in Jefferson Co. Madison was a major river port and many of the settlers who came to Owen Co. came through there. Depending on the time of year, many wintered over in that area before coming on to Owen...Ken

I have been told that the land grants given in Owen County and Clay County had used up most of the land by then, and when family came here to join others, they had to move on to try to find land for themselves. The word was that there was land further west so many families had no choice but to keep moving in that direction. bass103@juno.com wrote: > noticed several families came to Owen co but only recently discovered > some moved on to Missouri and Iowa. > On Fri, 18 Aug 2000 00:10:14 -0700 "R.

Hello Group: I have been trying unsuccessfully to access Debbie's invitation only site. I do everything I am requested to do, i.e., select a screen name and password and then press the "accept conditions and continue" button. At that point, I get a message from Microsoft Internet Explorer saying, "Please assign a value to your password." I have no idea what that means. The people I have spoken with at AOL does not know what it means and I have been unable to contact anyone who might be able to answer my question at the Internet Explorer Web Site. I am totally ignorant about how these things work and if there is a computer whiz out there who can tell me what this term means and how I can comply with it, please, please let me know. Thanks. Nell Langwell Gronberg

Nell You have dealt with this long enough lets see if the Myfamily.com people have any answers, this is ridiculous as I have no idea the meaning either. Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"

Jefferson county IN is just southeast of North Vernon or Seymour, it is on the state line but it is about 2 counties east of the area that Louisville sits at the border. Owen county is northwest of Bloomington. Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time"

noticed several families came to Owen co but only recently discovered some moved on to Missouri and Iowa. On Fri, 18 Aug 2000 00:10:14 -0700 "R. W.

Can anyone tell me how far or near Jefferson Co. and Owen C. are fromeach other? I have just began researching my Duncan line and I have some in Jefferson Co. and was wondering if these in Owen Co. might be related. Any help appreciated. Regina

Has anyone else noticed that around the last half of the 1800's that a bunch of families showed up in the Owen County area after leaving KY/VA/TN and going to Missery and Iway?;) Also seems like many from Owen County (including a Bigger or two) emigrated to Missouri and later Texas.
