You have been rather quiet recently. Boy... have you ever asked a great question. That initial "N" has caused a few concerns with several Ivester folks. I checked what I had on your John N. Ivester. I have actually checked the census records for him in the following: 1850 - listed and J. N. I. 1860 - not listed with family for some reason 1870 - listed as Jno. W. 1880 - listed as J. N. 1900 - listed as John N. 1920 - listed as John N. I believe he is listed in the 1910 soundex as John N. He is also John N. on the Muster Roll for Co., E, 16th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry I just checked and could not find the Mullins Ford Baptist Church cemetery online to see what his tombstone says. Perhaps someone the list has been there. As far as I know I have only seen it listed John Newton in Janice's book. I don't know if she got it from the tombstone or not. Sorry for such a long answer but I guess we might not know for sure what his middle name is. Maybe someone else can help - hope so. Think your Christmas idea is a wonderful one - take care - Emma

Hi Glenda, How nice to hear from you. Thanks so much for the information. It is interesting that they took a trip back to Missouri in 1930. Do you figure they were missed by the census in California during that trip. Hmmmm... I wonder... <g> I think it is wonderful that you can visit with your uncle. Those stories must be really neat and quite something special to save. When you feel like it perhaps you will be able to share some of them. We would all enjoy that. Would it help if I sent you all that I have on your line?

John N. IVESTER was born about 1840, son of George IVESTER and Nancy WHISENANT. From family sources, I had his middle name as Nicholas (which would be reasonable, considering that Nancy's father was named John Nicholas). However, I've been told by some of the folks on this list that his middle name was Newton. Does anyone have definitive information or documentation for this? I'm working on a genealogical package for my son-in-law for Christmas and would like to get this right. -- Elizabeth Harris ncgen@mindspring.com NCGenWeb project: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/ Winston-Salem NC area genealogy: http://www.fmoran.com/

Hi ya'll. Dovie King is the daughter of William Curry King. I actually had this info in my data gathered from the King Family. Dovie married Robert M. House. He has been reported as just Robert House in other genealogies. I made a contact who is researching the House line, as she is a descendant. She is also a Cook descendant, if anyone is working on them. She is connected via Aida Morris who married Henry Cook Jan. 29, 1836. I will share her address if anyone interested. contact me personally for address. Judy V. Mason
