Kyle ; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 7:46 AM Ode to Thanksgiving Leftovers Author Unknown 'Twas The Night Of Thanksgiving, But I Just Couldn't Sleep. I Tried Counting Backwards, I Tried Counting Sheep. The Leftovers Beckoned - The Dark Meat And White - But I Fought The Temptation With All Of My Might. Tossing And Turning With Anticipation, The Thought Of A Snack Became Infatuation. So, I Raced To The Kitchen, Flung Open The Door, And Gazed At The Fridge, Full Of Goodies Galore. I Gobbled Up Turkey And Buttered Potatoes, Pickles And Carrots, Beans And Tomatoes. I Felt Myself Swelling So Plump And So Round, 'Til All Of A Sudden, I Rose Off The Ground. I Crashed Through The Ceiling, Floating Into The Sky With A Mouthful Of Pudding And A Handful Of Pie. But, I Managed To Yell As I Soared Past The Trees.... Happy Eating To All--Pass The Cranberries, Please. May Your Stuffing Be Tasty, May Your Turkey Be Plump. May Your Potatoes 'N Gravy Have Nary A Lump, May Your Yams Be Delicious, May Your Pies Take The Prize, May Your Thanksgiving Dinner Stay Off Of Your Thighs. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

Dear Marlene: In answer to your message to Ann, researching Mary Ann Rotan and Peter Johnson King. I am Ann's first cousin, Donna. I too am doing research on the above. Ann passed to a better place in Dec. 2001. If I can be of any assistance I can be reached at [email protected] Thank you.

Looking through the archives, I found a person by the name of Ann, but her e-mail address is no longer valid. She was looking for anyone researching Mary Ann Rotan & Peter Johnson King. If she is still on this list with another e-mail address, or if anyone knows her new e-mail address, I would really like to contact her. The last message I saw from her in the archives was Aug. 15, 2001. Any help will be appreciated. Marlene

I am searching for the parents of Rachel Emiline King. Sometime between 1845 -and 1859 the family may have moved to Arkansas but I have yet to find the family on any AR census. 1859 she married William W. Alloway(Aloway) in Saline Co. AR ,but again cannot find them on any AR census. She does not show up again until 1870 living in the household of Jesse Elrod and Oneida Evaline (Hambrick)Elrod listed as Rachel Alloway(Aloway) .1871 She married Elias Elrod son of Jesse Elrod. In the 1880 census she states that her fathers birthplace is SC and mothers is TN .The only possible clue that I have thought about was in the names of her of two of her children David Lee Elrod and Nathan Herman Elrod. Any information would be appreciated. Riki Elrod Nygard

Researching Nichols, Wrights, Noxons, Van Kleecks, Kings, Greys, Smiths and Adams. In looking over what I have on the Wrights from Deacon Samuel Wright, I find two sons Sgt. Samuel Wright and James Wright who had descendents who both married a Jemima King. Son Sgt. Samuel Wright b. ?, d. 1675 m. Elizabeth Burt 24/11/1653. By her he had issue: Joseph Wright b. 1657 d. 1697 m. Ruth Sheldon 6/11/1679. By her he had issue: Samuel Wright b. 1683 m. Jemima King 19/12/1719. The second son of Deacon Samuel Wright (the line that I am descended from) James Wright b. 16/3/1674, d. 18/4/1734, m. Rebecca Sykes 3/11/1697. By her he had issue: Preserved Wright d. 23/9/1790, m. Phoebe Smalley. By her he had issue: Solomon Wright b. 1747, m. Miss Dewey 1770. By her he had issue: Preserved Wright b. 1775, m. Jemima King 25/7/1793, b. 1773 dau. of William King, Jr. b. 1743, d. 5/2/1817 m. Thankful Warner? (Spelling may be wrong, hard to read the hand writing). Since Jemima's father William King is a Junior, his father must be William King, Sr. William King, Jr. also served in some capacity in the Revolutionary War in 1774. I believe he was on the Committee of Safety at Lexington Alarm, may also have been a Lt. in Capt. James Warriner's Co. which marched from Wilbraharn, MA. Does anyone have any further information about these two Jemima Kings? I am assuming that they are related in some way. Does anyone have any more information about the fathers and the King family line? Thanks for any help you can give me. Hope the above also helps someone. Philip Van Kleeck Nichols

Would anyone be willing to do a look up for me. I am looking for Mary King, age 68 on the 1870 census in East Hartford. I am thinking she passed away sometime between 1870 and 1880 as she is no longer with her family in 1880 on the census. Does anyone do regular look ups in the Hartford/East Hartford area? On the 1870 census she is living with my great-great grandfather, his wife and some of his children. I am hoping that Mary may be my gg grandfather's mother. Perhaps, she was widowed and came to live with the for a short time. She wasn't living with them at the 1860 census and not on the 1880 census. Finding his mother has been a huge battle and I'm hoping this might unlock something for me. Thanks to anyone who could help. Lynda K.

This is an exciting day for me for I believe I have identified the family of my second great grandmother, Sarah/Sally LEGG. Working backwards, this story begins in Morgan Co., MO. There, the widow Sally BARRY married Samuel LEGG on 20 Nov 1844. Her deceased husband, Joseph S. BARRY, died in Morgan Co. in 1842. She had three children by Joseph: Marcellus BARRY, born about 1833 in KY; Richard BARRY, born about 1835 in IL; and Elizabeth K. BARRY, born 22 Nov 1839 in IL. She had one child by Samuel, my great grandmother: Polly LEGG, born 9 Jul 1848 in Cole Co., MO. Daughters Elizabeth and Polly married STRONGs. Sally spent her final years in the household of James R. STRONG and wife Polly in Vernon Co., MO, dying sometime after the 1880 census. Per census records, she was born about 1806 in VA. The 1880 census shows her parents to have been born in VA as well. The name of her first husband, Joseph S. BARRY, led me back to Barren Co., KY. It seems obvious his namesake was Joseph Stewart BARRY of Barren Co., KY, who died about 1825. How he is descended from Joseph Stewart BARRY is unclear, but he is probably an older son of one of the BARRYs who moved to Montgomery Co., IL. Land grants exist in Montgomery Co., IL for Joseph Stewart BARRY, which correspond in time to the birth of daughter Elizabeth. When I first started looking at Barren Co., KY records, I was following a hunch that Sally's maiden name might be ROBERSON, because this was the middle name given her youngest daughter, my great grandmother. While it now appears I was on the wrong track, the ROBERSON name may eventually prove helpful in identifying the line of VA KINGs to which John belongs. This morning, I decided to review the archived messages for Barren Co., KY. There, two messages by the ever helpful Sandi Gorin caught my eye. The first dealt with BARRY marriage records, which show Joseph S. BARRY marrying Sally KING on 29 Jan 1833, which is consistent with the date of birth of Marcellus, their first child. The second dealt with the Will of John KING (BkC:189), in which the second child identified is Sally J. BARRY. At that time I cried out "Eureka," or maybe it was "Bingo" -- at any rate, I am hopeful I have identified at least the father of my Sally LEGG. Once I identify an ancestor, it is my custom to review all the available documents from the FHL in order to develop as full a picture of my ancestors as possible. That includes tax records, deeds, court records, probate records etc. Naturally, I would be interested in connecting with others who are researching this family. There must be someone who is years ahead of me in this endeavor. I look forward to hearing from you. Robert Strong Scottsdale, AZ

This was sent to me from another list and I thought it was worth a look. Ed. Hello, This past June I travelled to Londonderry and Belfast accompanied by my research parter, John Giacoletti, former Curator of Rare Books at the University of North Carolina, and we experienced three action packed weeks in various libraries and research facilities and pubs. This was my 20th trip to Ireland, but the first for genealogical research. We are both skilled researchers and we were prepared. We were also LUCKY. If you would like to read about our genealogical findings just go to the main rootsweb.com page and look for the link to "threaded archives" Type in COWAN and search June and July 2002 and see what you think. It took me almost seven years of intense research to prove what I set out to prove and along the way I stumbled across a few research tools that I have shared with people before and will do again now. They are rare, out of print books and manuscripts which I doubt most people have ever seen. One of the items is found in only six Universities in America and a couple of them are not found here at all. They are as follows: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St. 211 pages On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book. He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research. From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages. One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible. Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy. Contains the following biographical sketches: 1. The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2. The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3. The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4. Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry. Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869 The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from. Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages. Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia. Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig. In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages. The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier. If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family. Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there. Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier. Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. Well there you have it. The best documents I have found. If you are interested in purchasing any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at [email protected]m for details. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

I am searching for information about my G-G Grandfather George King. His old family bible has the following inscription: "George King. the son of Jn King and Elizabeth, his wife was born Jan 5th 1802. No indication of the place of birth. He was married, Oct. 24, 1824 to Louisiana Rogers, born Jan. 9, 1802. She was the daughter of David Rogers and Mary, his wife. This too is from his family bible. Six children were born to this union. George served in the US Army for six months in 1837 during the Seminole Indian Wars. There is a George King listed in the 1830, Maury County, TN census which matches the family of George in 1830. Louisiana King died on Nov. 6, 1839. George then married Susannah Lathem in Lincoln County, TN on Feb. 7, 1843. There were five children born to this marriage. I have not been able to locate George prior to 1850 in the US Census and would appreciate any help. Wilard Evans

I am still searching for a King family located in and around Polk & McMinn Counties about 1840-1860. This is NOT the same family as the George W. King family I've seen so much about but could be some relation. The following is what I have in the way of birthdates for these Kings: John King - 1835 William King - 1841 Peter King (blind) - 1844 Susan King - 1847 Nancy King - 1849 Hiram King - 1853 married Cornelia Slaughter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi: The family cemetery mentioned in the subject message is situated in Lincoln County, TN. It most likely contains about 30 early descendants and other relatives of Ephraim KING, born Abt. 1785 in NC or VA; died in TN. Most of the early descendants are buried in the family cemetery. More data on his later descendants is listed in the genealogical data that has been posted on the Internet at: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt">ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt</A> I just tested it and it works. However, Extra data is being added during transmission of the above address by either AOL or others, including the blue color. The address starts with: <A HREF="ftp://ftp">ftp://ftp</A> ...... It ends with ... .txt If it shows up in quotes, just cut and past the address information inside the quote marks. Good luck. Tom King, Sr. Scottsdale, AZ

Hi Lita: The Internet address given in the subject message is in black, but AOL apparently adds the color blue: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt">ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt</A> I just checked the above address and it works. For some unknown reason, during the transmission, extra data is being added to both ends of the address. The first words are: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.roots">ftp://ftp.roots</A>web...... It ends with: .... .txt The underlining is being added by AOL and I don't know why. LCT stands for Lincoln County, TN. Hope this helps for you and others that may be interested. Tom King, Sr.

Hi Julia: Thanks for the update on the KING and HARKINS cemeteries in LCT. It's been several years since I last viewed them. At that time, they both needed a lot of attention; the KING Cemetery, more so than the HARKINS. The KING one will be difficult to locate in future years, if it does not receive some attention soon. I was surprised that you were able to check out a copy of my book From Wagons To Spaceships at your local library. Most libraries with large genealogical collections will not make interlibrary loans, or let individuals check them out. You were very fortunate, since the microfilm version of the book is most time consuming to view and read. Likewise, for the genealogical data that I have extracted and posted to the Internet at: <A HREF="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt">ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/books/wagon/wag2star.txt</A> The book is out of print. However, I have an unbound copy that can be photocopied on request. We too have been out of town. We just returned from a quick trip to Texas where my wife and I attend an 80th birthday party for my wife's sister. We were also able to visit cousins in Houston and San Antonio. Yes, my work career entailed a lot of traveling and family relocation's. But we learned a lot and got to see places most persons just read about in history books. We also helped a number of organizations set up and staff computer centers and organize staff training courses. This was all during the days when computers filled big rooms and had large staffs. Thanks for your note. Will be awaiting receipt of the questions that you have for me regarding our common ancestor, Andrew Jackson KING of LCT. Tom King, Sr. Scottsdale, AZ [email protected] To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LCT] King Family History Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello Tom, It is so good to heard from you.  I have been out of town so have just seen your post. I have your book "From Wagons to Spaceships".  The Mission Viejo Library in Mission Viejo CA. got it on loan for me from the Carlsbad City Library.  I must take it back tomorrow.  It has been most interesting learning about you and your family and all the adventures you all have been on.  I thought my husband and I traveled a lot on his business but you have us beat.  I know that you and yours have had a most interesting and rewarding life with many precious memories. There are many questions I have about Ephraim and his son Andrew Jackson King our mutual ancestors.  I am making a list. When I was in LCT for the Chestnut Ridge Cousins Reunion I visited the Harkins cemetery.  It has not changed much in the last 7 years when I was there last.   The Bakers own the property that the Harkins and King cemeteries are on.  Mrs. Baker's mother told me that a few years back that someone did do some clean up work on the King cemetery but she did not know their names.  I think she said it was an elderly woman and a young couple.  My sister and I were not able to get to it as there were dogs and a bull in the way.  The Bakers did put bob wire around the Harkins Cemetery and I do not know for sure but believe they did the King Cemetery as well to keep the bull out.  Perhaps someone else visited the King Cemetery last Oct. I do not know.  One of the projects of the Chestnut Ridge Cousins group is to try to preserve the cemeteries. Julia (Wright) Molitz
