Hi Do you have a Nancy Brown in your line who married a Pedigo Watson in Harrison County IN? They lived in Casey County and Wayne County after marriage and I think she might lived there before because she gave up her right of dower and sold some property in Casey County a few years after their marriage. I don't know anything else about her. Thanks Cindy At 08:24 AM 3/17/99 -0500, you wrote: >Good morning Becky , >I have been looking the William W.

I''ve had a hard time with War of 1812 records too but I found a book at the Library called SOLDIERS OF THE WAR OF 1812 and it does have some listed. Some of the things I found are: Roll of Field and Staff, Davenport's Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers, Commander Lt. Col. Richard Davenport, Roll of Capt. Jessde Coffee's Company, Ky Mounted Volunteer Militia, Roll of Capt. John Falkner's Co, and Roll of Capt. Thomas Kennedy's Company. This shows names, rank, date of enlistment. I have a gg grandfather who I am trying to find more about. His name was James Shackelford. He also invented the Shackelford or Kentucky Squirrel Rifle. If anyone has any info on him I would really appreciate it. I wrote to the Nat. Archives for military & pension records but they didn't have anything. Thanks Cindy * At 10:02 AM 1/23/99 -0600, you wrote: >Does anyone know what Reg. was from Casey Co. Area and or >how to find out who, if any Casey Co. Men were in War of 1812? >

Dick: Thanks for responding! Joseph SKIDMORE (b. 1761) and wife Hannah McKINNEY were my gggg-grandparents. Their daughter Polly SKIDMORE (b. abt. 1793) married Samuel McANINCH 1813 in Lincoln Co., KY. I am descended from Daniel H. McANINCH, son of Polly and Samuel. I really have very little on Joseph SKIDMORE. He and Hannah married in Lincoln Co., KY in 1791. Joseph's will was probated in Lincoln Co. in Feb. 1847. I really don't have enough info to tell whether Joseph and your James were related. Since Joseph is shown as living in Botetourt Co., VA at time of 1776 enlistment in the Virginia Line, there certainly is a good possibility he and James were related--But how? Their birth dates would suggest the two could have been brothers or cousins. What do you think? Lillian in IL

Hi Everybody! Some of you on this list may be interested in learning more about a fascinating group of people called Melungeons, especially if your family comes from northeast TN, southeast KY, northwest NC or southwest VA. If you have any questions about the article below, please write to me directly at suni@qni.com. Thanks! -Kay ****** Recent books and documentaries on Appalachia's mysterious Melungeons have led many people to search for their Melungeon roots. A genealogy workshop at Berea College may provide help for those who are seeking information about their families and possible Melungeon connections. "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" will be held on the Berea College campus on Saturday, June 26. This event will feature sessions on beginning, intermediate, and Internet genealogy, as well as specific sessions to explore Native American and African-American connections. There will also be chat sessions for various family groups, a showing of a documentary film about the Melungeons, and a panel discussion featuring Brent Kennedy, Manuel Mira, and others.. The Melungeons are a multi-racial and multi-ethnic people who were first documented in the Appalachian mountains at the end of the 18th century. Since that time, they have become a part of Appalachian folklore - "sons and daughters of the legend." Prior to the Civil War, some were classified as "free persons of color." More recently, they have been identified by anthropologists and sociologists as "tri-racial isolates" - an amalgam of European, Native American, and African-American ancestry. They faced discrimination, both legal and social, and tended to settle in isolated communities such as Newman's Ridge in Hancock County, Tennessee, or Stone Mountain, Virginia. Over the years, Melungeons kept to themselves -- or moved to other areas where their heritage was not suspect. Oral history among Melungeon families was often not shared with succeeding generations. "Melungeon" had become an epithet, even if no one knew where the word originated. Jean Patterson Bible wrote in 1975 that generations of intermarriage has resulted in near racial dissolution: "They'll be gone in a generation or two, except for an occasional dark-complected [sic] child as a reminder of the past." Instead, many Melungeon descendants are coming to recognize and embrace the diverse heritage that is theirs. They've been encouraged and inspired by Dr. N. Brent Kennedy, author of the 1994 book The Melungeons: The Resurrection of A Proud People; An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America. Kennedy, in researching his own family background, concludes that the Melungeons were descended from groups of Spaniards, Portuguese, Turks, Berbers, Moors, Jews, and others who arrived on these shores between the arrival of Columbus and the establishment of Jamestown. Generations of intermarriage with Europeans, Native Americans, and African-Americans resulted in the people now known as Melungeons. Participants may pre-register before June 1, for "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" by sending a check or money order to: Melungeon Roots, P.O. Box 4042, Wise, VA 24293. Admission to the event is $5 for each pre-registered participant (before June 1), and $10 for those who register after June 1 and for on-site registrants. On-site registration begins Friday, June 25, at 7:00 pm at the Alumni Building on the Berea campus. The Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. will hold a mixer on Friday night at the Alumni Building from 7 to 9 pm. Workshops will begin on Saturday morning at 9:00 am at Phelps-Stokes Hall, with welcoming remarks by Audie Kennedy, president of the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc., and Gordon McKinney of the Berea College Appalachian Center. Workshops will be held in the Frost Building and Phelps Stokes chapel. Chat groups will be running all day at various locations on campus. Throughout the day, "Melungeon Roots" will feature "how-to" genealogy sessions as well as sessions on Native American, African-American, and Portuguese-American genealogy. A panel discussion with a question-and-answer session will close the workshop. "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" is sponsored by the Appalachian Center at Berea College, continuing the college's long tradition of commitment to Appalachia and to diversity. The event is organized by the Melungeon Heritage Association, Inc. (MHA), a non-profit organization formed in 1998. MHA was an outgrowth of the highly successful First Union: A Melungeon Gathering held in Wise in 1997. In 1998, MHA sponsored Second Union, an even larger gathering which featured sessions and lectures on history, social issues, and medical issues, as well as genealogy. The gatherings are only a part of the work of MHA. The organization is also dedicated to several other tasks, including continued research and writing, telling the story of the Melungeon people, and contributing to the mosaic of a past that has been hidden too long. At the same time, MHA plans to collect and preserve the research and artifacts of the past, forming the basis of a Melungeon Research Center to give these materials a permanent home. MHA’s mission is to document and preserve the heritage and cultural legacy of mixed- ancestry people of the Southern Appalachians. While the focus will be on those of Melungeon heritage, they do not restrict themselves to honoring only this group, but believe in the dignity of all such mixed ancestry groups. MHA is committed to preserving this rich heritage of racial diversity and harmony. MHA plans to hold Third Union in the summer of 2000. In the meantime, "Melungeon Roots" is the first of several planned smaller events which will focus on individual aspects of Melungeon heritage. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: MELUNGEON ROOTS "Melungeon Roots: A Family Heritage Workshop" will be held on the Berea College campus in Berea, Kentucky, on Saturday, June 26. This event will feature sessions on beginning, intermediate, and Internet genealogy, as well as specific sessions on other aspects of Melungeon genealogy. To register, send five dollars per registrant to Melungeon Roots, P.O. Box 4042, Wise, VA 24293.

Chris, Would the subject of your search be Rev. John Lucas? I have some Lucas family info gathered as a result of the marriage of Thomas Lucas (son of a John Lucas) and Lois Singleton (daughter of Daniel Singleton of Orange Co., VA) in abt. 1772. He was born 1749 in England and died in Scott Co., KY in 1833. Tom Land -- Tom Land gtrl@esper.com When you shake the family tree wondrous stories pour forth! (Also some fruits & nuts!!)

Jim Carigan, Is it possible that your Franklin P Combest was married 4 Sept 1889 in Casey Co., KY, to Virginia F Burke, a daughter of Andrew J Burk and Elizabeth? I will appreciate knowing how Catherine Burks (daughter of Edmund Burks and Elizabeth Everly) who married Benjamin Roe is related to Andrew J Burk; and particularly how they are related to William Burk whose daughter, Elizabeth, married Daniel Ross 29 June 1796 in Lincoln Co., KY. Any information will be appreciated. Ellwyn L Worley ELWorley@Worldnet.att.net JimMonomoy@aol.com wrote: (snip) Is there a chance these names could be "Combest", particularly the > first 3?
