Donald Dezarn: Any idea what happened to James "Jim" Webb m to Elizabeth Hyden? Loretta Webb Roehrman

Our ancestors could not have possibly envisioned our world as it is today - yet I am sure many hoped and prayed for such. That being a world now more inclusive, more diverse, a world wherein all persuasion of folk are beginning to try to embrace one another in a way that our forefathers felt impossible. All the secrets, lies, mistruths that were passed along from generation to generation. The purposeful misinforming of their descendents. Truths they felt needed to be kept well-guarded are tid bits that we can only hope will help to bridge divides and provide a richer future for generations to come.

Thanks Edith

Jennie we had Wood inour family Murray Edith

Hi List, I have a puzzle that I needed to solve at least some theories about it. Would like to have some more info on the Children of Samuel and Rebecca Wood I have these children listed as their children; Levina "Viney" born. abt 1814 , she is the mother of James Woods Baker Susan b, abt 1814, would really like some more info on her. Mary Polly b. 1815 John C. b. 1816 Peggy b. 1819 Margaret b. 1821 Samuel b. 1825 Ibby b. 1828 If by the 1830 Federal Census the Family is listed under Rebecca name only. I believe Samuel Sr., abt 1827 There is total of ten listed on this 1830 Census and that is my question? Who is the tenth person. I think it is James Wood (Baker), Levinas' son. Males under 5 yrs, [1] Is this James Wood Baker Males of 10 to 15 [2] This would be John C. and Samuel Jr. Males of 20 to 30 [1] Who is this ????? Females under 5 [1] Is this Ibby (In the 1850 Census, Ibby is listed is as18 ) Females of 5 to 10 [2] Elizabeth and Margaret Females of 15 to 30 [2] Susan , Mary or Levina Females of 30 to 40 [1] Rebecca Wilson Wood There is one to many males and not enough Females as I see it. Can anyone unravel this mystery??? Also I can find no reference to Levina "Viney" Wood in any census. I have been told that she is listed with a commom- law man in her later years. Would anyone know who this would be. Thanks Jennie

Kristie, I have nothing in my database regarding marriages between your Setsers and my DeZarns. I am, however, quite familiar with Camiliza Dezarn and John Cabel Breckenridge Baker. According to my findings, they were never married but are the parents of Almarine "Alfred" DeZarn, born about 1888. Alfred died 24 March 1953, and he is the father of a noted Clay Co. KY ancestor named Stanley DeZarn, born 15 April 1922 in Clay Co., KY. I'm sorry to say that Stanley is in very poor health today while suffering from Alzheimers. So sad.

Diane, Thank you very much for such a quick response. You've given me some Bowling leads that I need to follow up on for sure. I need to spend more time of the particular family. Hopefully, after I retire later this year, I'll have more time to do so. There are so many loose ends in my research that I don't know if I'll ever get all of them figured out. Thank you again.
