This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cm.2ADI/173 Message Board Post: Hi! I posted previously regarding Chatham Ewing. Two very nice county helpers sent me the cemetery info I needed from Round Springs Cemetery. I have a request... if anyone is going to the county courthouse or library. I would like to know if there is a will for Chatham Ewing who died Feb 1881. I'd also like to have an obituary for son George W. Ewing who died in 1916 and is also buried in Round Springs Cemetery. I am hoping to pass this info on to a very special lady who has been unselfishly helping me in her hometown with my own family history. We are "suspected" Ewing cousins. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want anyone to go out of their way. Sincerely, Sue R.

Surnames: Fortner, Bishop Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cm.2ADI/170 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the families of Noah A. Bishop and his brother, Orville Bishop. Both were long time residents of the Mitchell County area in the early 1900's. Noah A. Bishop was married to Anna McGee and they had six known children; Felix Clyde, Paul F., Fern M., Izel M., Juanita E., and Elvin E. Orville W. Bishop was married to Florence, surname unknown, and they had only one known child; Nathalie. Both of these men were sons of Francis Marion Bishop and had a brother by that name as well. They are a branch of the Fortner family of my research. I have much to share on the ancestry of these men but need help on the more current generations. Would love to make contact with descendants.
