Hey Bud i have a web page on MyFamily.com.

Annette: Thanks again. This will give me enough info to make corrections, additions, and perhaps help me straighten my mess. Bud

Hi Ann, I have been waiting for someone to say this but they haven't, so I will: What happened to Abraham Lemaistre after his indenture was up? And what part of the country did John Smith and he live ? I have only started to research this side of my family. Pat C.

Ann, Thanks for the feedback. I did know about the Isle of Jersey and about Abraham being indentured. I did not know it was to John Smith. Is this a matter of oral tradition or is this actually documented somewhere?

We may have a connection, but I don't have your e-mail message now. I would like to know more about Jacob Webb and Adeline. Thanks so much everyone. Donna Sisco

Yeah now all you need is how to write a URL. LOL

Photos cannot be posted to the list. You can post them on a website and then post the URL of the site. Ann Lemaster-Applegate Listowner

Oops. I am sorry! I forgot to change the subject line on my Lemaster posting! Ann

I thought while I was at it I would go on and post a few more of my lines. This my paternal Cantrell line: Elijah Cantrell Henry Cantrell m. Rachel Blanton George Cantrell m. Nancy Jane Salyer Charles Wilson Cantrell m. Sarah Elizabeth Conley Stella Mae Cantrell m. Sammie Lemaster Sammie Lemaster, Jr m. Rosie Faye Adams Elizabeth Ann Lemaster m. Gregory Russell Applegate (the above is my husband and me) An interesting fact about Henry and Rachel was pointed out to me by Glenn Blevins. Apparently Rachel was expecting a child before she and Henry were married. Henry must not have been showing any signs of wanting to marry Rachel, so she filed a bastardy case. Henry made bond and married Rachel. Guess she was determined to get her man by any means! Ann Lemaster-Applegate

I have some photos to share but don`t know how to post them to the list I use windows 95

I also descend from Abraham Lemaistre. Abraham was born on the Isle of Jersey in the Channel Islands off the coast of France. He came to America as an indentured servant to John Smith. But of course, you all probably already know all of this. I have two Lemaster lines, one maternal and , obviously, one is paternal. I am also looking for new lines to add.

Annette, I descend from Eleazor and Machelle thru their dau Elizabeth who married Jesse Osburn. Jesse and Elizabeth had a dau Lavina who m. William H. "Billy" Henson. My mother descend from this couple. As you probably know, the Lemaster genealogy back to Abraham Lemaitre of St. Charles Co. Maryland has been heavily researched and is well and broadly documented. My Osborn/Osburn lineage is solid to Jesse and Elizabeth. There is a lack of good evidence to document Jesse's genealogy. Oral tradition seems to favor a connection to the Osburn family who moved from New Jersey/Pennsylvania to Loudoun Co., VA about 1732. The other connection I find cited most often makes a connection to the family of Captain Enoch Osborne of Revolutionary War fame. Personnaly, I believe that these two Osborn/Osborne/Osburn lines are related but the evidence is circumstantial at best and goes to geographic proximity (the Osborne line has roots in what is now West VA in an area very close to Loudoun Co. - the two areas being seperated mainly by the Blue Ridge Mountains and a few miles. Osburn migration into this area is well documented. Other evidence is similarity of first names in documented family records, some evidence that Captain Enoch actually resided in Loudoun Co. at some period during his life. Many Hensons, Osborns/Osburns and Lemasters migrated from EKY to NW Arkansas. My mother was born there in the little town of Winslow just before the Depression and migrated to the west coast with her family. May Hensons, Osburns, Lemasters still reside in this area. My mother's AR roots include other emigrants from KY, primarily Lyons from Wolfe Co, Nickells from the same county, and Perdue's from Knox Co. I would love to correspond and share with anyone who researches these families. Bill Mattheis Researching: Osburn, Lemaster, Henson, Perdue, Caudill, Jaynes, Ramey, TAckett, Skelton, and most other EKY surnames it seems. -----Original Message----- From: Annette Towler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 8:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KYJOHNSON] photos Bill I descend also from this same line.
