I am not certain where John was born but Martha was born to Jeremiah Vardeman Steele and Artemesia Gayheart in Mercer County about 1859. . I know that John W. Warner was born in Kentucky, probably in the 1840's, but cannot positively identify him in a particular family. What is your line of Warners?

He was the son of Allen Enos Jones and Elizabeth Campbell. I'm sure of the record up to this point, then the line is confused by different stories. There is a fact or a joke that the father of Allen was a Martin Isaac Jones, or Martin's father was Isaac Jones. When Martin was killed by indians he was supposed to have been with a party led by a Captain Martin, or killed at a Fort Martin. Was it spelled Martin or Martain?? The next story is that Martin Jones real name was Martin and he was adopted by a Jones family. I am much interested in knowing the real facts. I just ran into a possible gold mine of info on our Sampson line and crossed my Sampson message to one person with my Jones message I was getting ready to send to you. No wonder people get stories mixed up. Thanks much: Jim and Deanna in Wyoming (jdarchi@vcn.com)

I have a court record of VA, in 1857, showing a John Sampson and Lucy w/ ch. Elijah, William, and John. John Sr. made a land deed in Orange Co., VA, in 1797. Their son Elijah is shown as having ch. Leanna, Lucinda(Geo. Frederick), Matilda(William Stratham), FOUNTAIN, Pitney, Nancy, John, and George. These children of Elijah are listed as NOT being residents of VA. OUR FOUNTAIN BAKER SAMPSON is supposed to have come from Tennessee, and his first child he named Elijah. Fountain (1807-1871) married a Melissa Hickerson (1818-1869) in 1834 in Montgomery Co. MO. She was a GreatGranddaughter of Daniel Boone. He settled in the Elmer, Mo, area and is buried at Mt. Tabor Cemetery, Atlanta, Macon Co., MO. I don't have proof positive, but I suspect that is OUR FOUNTAIN SAMPSON. Thank You< Jim and Deanna. jdarchi@vcn.com

Cremation is not a new concept as the disposing of human bodies on a funeral pyre -usually one body at a time-dates back in America, at least, to Colonial times. Most of us have read of the; albeit horrific; body pyres that were utilized, usually after the biggest of the battles of the Civil War, to dispose of the often thousands of bodies which accumulated as a result of the fighting. This was done out of necessity as the digging of individual, or even mass graves, was out of the question due to lack of manpower. However, the most compelling reason to dispose of the bodies as quickly as possible was to prevent the spread of disease which was rampant at the time. Very few probably realize that of the 250,000-300,000 men of the Confederate Army who died during the war, only one quarter of those deaths were incurred in battle, with the remainder dying of disease. Union Army deaths due to disease were somewhat lesser due to the availabilty of more sophisicated medicines & techniques. Several years after the War the crematory furnace was developed & many funeral establishments had them installed in their facilities leading to the wider useage of this method. I recently spent the better part of a year attempting to find the burial places of an ancestor, a CW veteran, & his wife who both died in Chicago, with- out success. A search of the cemeteries in & around Chicago & of the National Cemeteries yielded no results either. In speaking later with a member of the branch of the family to which the deceased belonged, I learned that cremation was literally a tradition in that branch, & I was told of a scattering of ashes at sea & in various cemeteries in several states. Thus, after a period of 100 years have elapsed since the death of these two people, & with not finding any evidence of cemetery burials, I must 'assume' that even with- out any proof, that they were cremated. Also with many families not having the funds to purchase a cemetery plot, a gravestone, & other costs associated with a funeral, cremation was no doubt a lower cost alternative. Also, as the ashes are usually placed in an urn, rather than scattering the ashes, the urns could be kept at home, where the family members could feel that the deceased was "always close by." What might have happened to the urns through- out the ensuing years might well be "Another story." To those who might feel like they are 'chasing their tail' in attempting to find where their family member's remains are; this just may be another consideration to keep in mind.

Surnames: Bowling, Wilson, Stiff, Maddox Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/gBB.2ACI/2009.1 Message Board Post: Kentucky did not become a state until 1792. The entire area prior to that had been claim by the state of Virginia as part of Augusta Co., Virginia. In 1776 the Kentucky area was taken away from Fincastle County, Virgfinia and became Kentucky County, Virginia. In 1780 Kentucky County was divided into three counties; Fayette, Jefferson, and Lincoln. Perhaps you might check early records of Agusta Co., Va., plus the others I mentioned. I am in search of my Bowling ancestors. The earliest I know of is Joseph Bowling (all spellings) who married Rebecca Maddox in 1796 in Franklin Co., Virginia. I'm trying to locate his parents. Do you have any information on Alexander's parents? My second great grandfather was William Bowling married to Julia B. Stiff. They lived in Bedford Co., Virginia. Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
