Hi Theresa Baxter nee King: Sometimes it is most difficult to sort out repetitive given names while doing genealogical research on one's ancestors. We also have to deal with the fact that many ancestors could not read or write and that they also often spoke with accents that were difficult to understand by persons recording census and other data; these problems frequently resulted in the same persons name being recorded with different spellings in various documents. In my King line, the given name of Ephraim King of Lincoln Co. TN was used several times during most every King generation in America. So after twenty years of research, I haven't yet figured out just which Ephraim King about five generations back is my ancestor! In my mother's Cloud line, I had great difficulty sorting out the local records on two John Cloud's that were apparently born about the same time in the same area of the state. Finally, after one of them got married, I found out that they were part of the same family. But one was the son and the other was an informally adopted nephew. It resulted when my great-grandfather John E. Cloud died in a Federal Prison in Nashville, just before the end of the civil war. At that time, my John was informally adopted by his uncle who also had a son named John. The uncle was concurrently a military prisoner with my great-grandfather John E. Cloud that died in prison.

Oh, I have one that drove me nuts for years on my Knox Co., KY Mills line - Imagine the joy of having an ancestor by the name of Nasby. He is a good, decent man with many sons who all love their father....and name a son after him. Yep, 9 little Nasbys, all about the same age. And you wonder why I own stock in Clairol at only 44.

Gee, can I join? I have a John KING too! My John was born July 26, 1879 in Dungannon Twp., Canada and moved to Michigan. He died November 05, 1953, in Michigan. John William was the son of William and Eleanor Jane Jarman b. August 1848, Canada, Eng(Ontario), d. May 28, 1903, Saranac, Michigan. They had 6 children. It seems that most of the King people I see on this mailing list comes from the south or some place else. I kind of feel like the odd ball. I don't read anything close to the names I have. It is crummy, but I still enjoy being on this list.(o: Number 8 on our list of the 1852 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS SOLVE GENEALOGICAL MYSTERIES makes me think of the receipts that some stores print out now days. Either the heat will make the information on them dissappear or a little bit of time will! (o; --------------------------------- Yahoo! Photos Ring in the New Year with Photo Calendars.
