Jerrian Well we got one really good match out of it. I would be interested in more info on your Thomas and Hannah (McCREARY) OLDHAM line. Chet

Hi fellow listers, I joined the list on the first day but I have yet had the oppurtunity to put my cousins out there so I thought I better do it tonight while I had a few minutes. I work two jobs so I don't get to check my email more than once a day. Tonight I had 149 new messages and a great deal of them were from this list. It is great to see so many people using this new list. Here are my Kissing cousins. Samuel Tucker (my 4 &5 ggrand father depending on which line you follow) Married Esther Leighton, 1. Their son Asa Tucker (My 3rd great grand uncle and 4th great grand Father and 1st cousin 4 times removed) married his cousin Mariam Worcester(my 4th great grandmother). Miriam's parents are both my 5th great grandparents and my 4th great aunt and uncle depending on which line you follow. 2. Their son Justus Smith Tucker( my 3rd great grand Uncle & 1st cousin 4 times removed) married his cousin Sarah "Sally" Leighton(my 1st cousin 5 times removed) 3. Their Son Samuel Tucker Jr.(my 3rd great grand Uncle & 1st cousin 4 times removed) married Annice Smith ( my 4th great grand aunt) One of Asa's sons Benjamin Tucker(who is also my 3rd great grand Uncle like his father is) married his cousin Amy "Emma" Worcester. There were many marriages between the Tucker and worcester families and the Tucker and Leighton families. My grandmother was a Tucker and my grandfather a Leighton. (they were 5th cousins) My grandfathers mother-in -law was also his 5th cousin but his father-in-law was his 4th cousin once removed. My grand mother's parents were 2nd cousins once removed. There is more but I am sure that is confusing enough for tonight. So what does this mean for me?? Three things. 1. It is a good thing I like puzzles. 2. My software gets really confused when I try to do pedigree charts and such. 3. There are places on my family tree that don't fork. -Michelle

I think we struck out again! Jerrian

My George Herbert Ferguson married Anne Hall, whose parents were John Hall and Jane Bailey. Ireland. Does any of this ring a bell? Messenheimer, is in my Mock line. Jerrian

Sorry, not that I know of. Haven't gone back far enough on the Browne's to tell. Jerrian

I think so too. I have one MESSENHEIMER, Catherine b. 1766 d. 1845 she married Henry FEATHER Sr. b. 1756 d. 1840 I have nothing on Catherine's parents or syblings. Chet

Jerrian How about FERGUSON with any of the following: MOCK, MILLER, COLLINS, FETTERS, DULL, CLARK, ROSE, FISHER, FEATHERS, FLEEGLE, SHAFFER, BIRKHOFF, CALLIHAN, KIMMEL, EMBLER, HINSON, IMLER, ZEMBOWER, MAUK, KINTON, O'HEARNE, BOYER, CESSNA, ROBERTS. Chet

Browne's born in Ireland (Co. Cork) and died in Iowa. Jerrian There are Brownes and Hydes in England, however, and some of them migrated to Ireland.

You pick this time. Jerrian

How about a James Hansford Hyde and Mary "Polly" Walters, comb.? Or, John Harry and Sara Jane Moore? Jerrian

Jerrian None of those either. Chet

Hi, How about a Brown, Hyde comb.? My 2nd great grandparents are Sara Jane Hyde and Oliver Peter Brown. Oliver peter Brown's parents are Amos Browne and Mary Ann Singleton. Amos Brown's father was Solomon Browne. The Hydes go quite a ways, back to GeorgeEskridge and his wife Rebecca Bonum who were foster parents to Mary Ball, who was George Washington's mother. jShe named George Washington after George Eskridge.

I listed my names yesterday, so today I will share my stories. Yes, stories. My great grandmother Mary Ann HIGGINS, married Robert CAMERON in Jul 1880 in Scotland. They had eight children including my grandfather William Higgins CAMERON. Mary Ann's sister Margaret HIGGINS, married William GOURLAY in Oct 1895. They had five children. William Higgins CAMERON (my grandfather) married Agnes Grieve GOURLAY (my grandmother and niece of William GOURLAY). Margaret HIGGINS and William GOURLAY had five children. They moved to the US. Their daughter Catherine Brember GOURLAY married John Christian KAUFMANN. Their son Alexander GOURLAY married Margaret KAUFMANN (sister of John Christian KAUFMANN). Are you with me so far? Well I just found out today of more kissing cousins. William GOURLAY (my ggggrandfather) married Margaret STEWART in Scotland in 1819. They had at least four children. Their son Robert Stewart GOURLAY married Catherine BREMBER. I think I found another brother of Robert Stewart GOURLAY, James GOURLAY born 13 years after Robert. Robert Stewart GOURLAY and Catherine BREMBER had eight children, on of which was the William GOURLAY mentioned above married to Margaret HIGGINS. Catherine BREMBER married to Robert Stewart GOURLAY had a sister Mary BREMBER married to Robert JACK. They had four children. Their daughter Catherine Ford JACK married James GOURLAY, the same one born 13 years after Robert Stewart GOURLAY and most likely a missing sibling. Hmm, now I ask you could I have any more kissing cousins out there? Just a side note my sister found out recently that her best friend from childhood is a cousin to her husband. She asked that I stop researching our family tree as she is afraid she may find out we are cousins to her husband. What do you think her reactions would be to the above? Janet Tennent researching any and all the above names Kensington, Maryland

Lost the file that wanted to know how far back I have completed the Board and Willard lines.......so will post to the list. BOARD line dates back to Francis Board ca.1680 in England. WILLARD line dates back to William Willard ca 1755 in Virginia. Stephen

Ir`s late and I`m tired, but, here`s a starter: Fordham Snellgrove McConnell Dominy Brock Watson Varn Dyal Trowell Spivey Smith(this is my brick wall)My maternal grandmother was Matilda Smith, born somewhere in Ga. I know that my parents visited an uncle, Henry Smith, who was living in Fitzgerald,Ga around the late 1930`s. I have several instances of 3 siblings from one family married to 3 siblings in another family, and also 2 in a family married to 2 in another famlily. I`m really excited about this new list, and looking forward to getting to know some of you. I live in AZ, but I`m a southern girl. Most of my family is from GA and the Carolinas. Night, night! Donna
