Good article about Evan James' family, that lives in southern Illinois. Evan T. James, a U.S. Marine was killed in Iraq. When I find articles like this, it makes me wonder if he is related in some way. With so many James lines represented on this list, I am sure he is related to someone subscribed. If so this article may be of interest. --Scott Williams, St. Louis, Mo. ROCKED BY WAR: Moving on without letting go The family of Evan James By Mary Delach Leonard ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 06/04/2006 LA HARPE, ILL. Three years after Marines came to her front door to report that her son, Cpl. Evan James, 20, was missing in Iraq, Donna James is still finding her way through a changed life... <snip> Evan Tyler James was born on Memorial Day 1982 and died on March 24, 2003, just days after the invasion began. He and a fellow Marine Reservist from the 6th Engineer Support Battalion, based in Peoria, Ill., drowned while swimming across the Saddam Canal in southern Iraq during a reconnaissance mission. He was the first casualty from the St. Louis area. Entire article at: http://tinyurl.com/fmbwu (This link is good for only one week.)

While I can't say there have been many things about family history found in this county, I find many linked surnames in the following volume: resource: Annals of Bath County by by Oren F. Morton, B. Lit. reprinted 1970 by C. J. Carrier Co., Historical and Genealogical Books Bridgewater, Virginia. 1st printing, THE McCLURE CO. , INC. of Staunton, Virginia 1917. It is not a large book with 208 pages, some indexing but needs total reading to glean all information's. The researcher was on site and thorough. The research goes to the county links with lands and notes on family histories and the general nature of the county from the origins with Beverley Grant purchases by planters and farmers to the [then] surnames listed for modern descendants. It gives a good "flavor" of reading about several well known surname families who migrated to Kentucky or other places and origins of the lines. One particular name which I can't recall where I just saw it: GIVENS.. on page 194: "Samuel GIVEN purchased in Beverly Manor in 1738 and was one of the early justices of Augusta. His son William seems identical with the William GIVEN of the Wilson settlement, who died in 1793 , leaving 10 children." If I find any JAMES references, I will post them. __________________ Linda M.

After a time, James BANDY came back with a new wife and found his children removed to Illinois with the HOWELL family. He tried to recover the children when he moved to Illinois in 1833, but by this time the HOWELL family did not want to give the children up. By calculating, the children were already approaching ages between 15 to 20 and already established in making their own livings and way with good occupations.

The below gathering of family records and history is from notes, pieces, reading, and correspondence. Becky SMITH and I share links with the BANDY family which came from England to Virginia. The current history occurs in the beginnings in Virginia in the Botetourt County area. With my interest in the JAMES family research I found BANDY/JAMES marriage material which linked my BANDY/JOHNSON family in Washington State family history. Many roads lead to many answers and more questions. Perhaps someone can find some items in it which are helpful. It covers Virginia and Tennessee/ I hope to post it this evening or tomorrow.

Reprinted from ANSEARCHIN' NEWS October 1960, pp 81,82 FIRST SETTLERS OF SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE Copied by: Mr. William A. Burns, 2721 W. San Niguel, Phoenix, Arizona About 278 years after the first white man, Fernando DeSoto, camped on ground where now stands the city of Memphis, the first white settlers moved in under the leadership of Andrew Jackson and founded a permanent settlement. The year was 1819. That same year a county was formed and given the name of Shelby. One year later a Federal Census was taken, and it is indeed surprising that there were so few. Federal tabulation for the year 1820 for the County of Shelby shows a total of 364 residents, broken down as follows: Male whites, 141; White females, 110; Male slaves, 55; Female slaves, 58. The ages of the white settlers were listed as follows: Males-up to 10; to 16; to 18; 18 to 26; to 45; and over 45, Females were listed as follows: to 10; to 16; to 26; to 45; and over 45 years of age.

Great Posting! All roads lead together at one time or another and people need to see these types of postings to "see" the trail which was traveled. Not all planters lived on their plantations; some were over-saw by relatives. Huge "Districts" became smaller Counties. Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina were mostly considered east of the Blue Ridges in the 1660/1790's, and the Georgia and other "southern and western lands" were Indian tribal locations with white settlements here and there, sometimes named forts. "In the nutshell" history is essential as a guide-line............. Seeing Thomas JAMES and Alice JAMES listed here in the circa of the Tennessee history documents brings to mind the fact that there are also mentions of Albemarle District and many other Virginia and other "colonial districts" in those Davidson County files. Thanks for the posting! Maybe things will start making good additions and "2+2" if people can get around the idea of "secular research" [sorry, not referring to religious here} I have often wondered if, for example, the mention of "Abel" in one place was the same man as "Abel or Able" about 25 miles away, or even across the river. __________________ Linda M.

For all of you out there waiting for the results from your 59 marker test, I thought I would forward this message that I just received telling about the upgrade from 59 markers to 67 markers!!! I guess we all need to read that FTDNA webpage more often in order to keep up with what is happening. The announcement was made on May 19th. Gwen Boyer Bjorkman gwenbj@seanet.com -----Original Message----- From: Diana Gale Matthiesen [mailto:DianaGM@dgmweb.net] Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2006 8:46 PM To: STRAUB-DNA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [STRAUB-DNA] new upgrade is to 67, not 59 Hello List, You may or may not have noticed, but the new FTDNA upgrade to 59 markers was raised to 66 markers, then to 67 markers -- for the same price. In other words, anyone who ordered the 59-marker or 66-marker upgrade will be returned results for 67 markers. So many people jumped in and ordered this upgrade when it was first announced that FTDNA is now backlogged, and the return of results is falling way beyond target dates. It also seems general interest in DNA testing is picking up because the rate of new test kit purchases is picking up. You can tell by the Kit numbers, which were in the low 20,000s when the project was opened, but now, less than two years later, has topped 65,000! FTDNA also puts their stats on their home page: http://www.ftdna.com/ Diana
