    1. [KYOWEN-L] Pension records
    2. Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I have an extensive pension records file regarding Owen County Kentucky. Most of these names are not relatives of mine so I felt that maybe one of you could be looking for this information. I have about a hundred different names with their records. These records are from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. If anyone would like for me to do a lookup for them just email me. I'll try to get it back to you in a timely manor. Merry Christmas! :) Melanie Hammons Bishop

    1. [KYOWEN-L] Cobbs of Owen Co.
    2. Hello to everyone. I've enjoyed reading about everyone's families from Owen County and figured it's probably time that I ask a question or two about my own. My name is Brian Cobb and I am the grandson of Fred Cobb, whose father was Vanden. I have been able to trace our lineage from Vanden to Cyrus to Asa to Samuel Cobb who came from Charleston, SC after the Civil War and, as I understand it, was one of the first settlers in Owen County in the late 1800's and settled in/around Lusby's Mill (originally known as Cobb's Mill). Many Cobbs are buried in the cemetery at Mussel Shoals Baptist Church. I have been unable to find any information about Samuel's parents and have been trying for the last several years to make that "leap across the ocean". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes to everyone for a Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year. May God bless, Brian K. Cobb LaGrange, KY bkc930527@aol.com

    1. [KYOWEN-L] Memories of Christmases Past
    2. Jim Mason
    3. As a little boy growing up on a farm near Lusby Mill, it seemed an eternal wait for Christmas morning and the excitement of seeing what presents had been left under the Christmas tree. Those presents have been long forgotten, but the enduring memory is that of going out with Dad about a week before Christmas to find the perfect Christmas tree for our home. We would search for hours and look at scores of cedar trees to find one shaped just right and the correct height for our living room. After we found and cut the tree, we would tie it to my Western Flyer sleigh and pull it home. That sleigh was much easier to pull if there was a snow on the ground. I still remember the ornaments and the lights we used year after year, and the aroma of cedar is the scent that I most associate with Christmas. My other fond memories of Christmas are of the special desserts that my Mom would prepare for us to eat at Christmastime and also the fellowship and friendship of the community, especially at Lusby Mill Baptist Church. Merry Christmas all! Jim Mason

Subject: [SNR List] Fwd: Twas the night before... Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Hi Folks, This cute poem just came across on one of my lists...Thought you might enjoy it....Regards, Jodi Genealogist's Christmas Eve (Twas the night before Christmas) 'Twas the night before Christmas When all through the house Not a creature was stirring, Not even my spouse. The dining room table with clutter was spread With pedigree charts and with letters which said... "Too bad about the data for which you wrote; Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat." Stacks of old copies of wills and such Were proof that my work had become too much. Our children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And I at my table was ready to drop >From work on my album with photos to crop. Christmas was here, and such was my lot That presents and goodies and toys I'd forgot. Had I not been busy with grandparents' wills, I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills, While others bought gifts to bring Christmas cheers, I'd spent time researching those birthdates and years. While I was thus musing about my sad plight, A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright. Away to the window I flew in a flash, Tore open the drapes and yanked up the sash. When what with my wondering eyes should appear, But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer. Up to the house top the reindeer they flew, With a sleigh full of toys and 'ole Santa Claus, too. And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of thirty-two hoofs. As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa--KER-RASH! "Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck, And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!) Spotting my face, good 'ole Santa could see I had no Christmas spirit you'd have to agree. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk). Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and joy: When I'd been too busy for even one toy. He spied my research on the table all spread "A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!) "Tonight I've met many like you," Santa grinned, As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned. I gazed with amusement--the cover it read Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead. "I know what it's like as a genealogy bug." He said as he gave me a great Santa hug. "While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, I do some research in the North Pole Library! A special treat I am thus able to bring, To genealogy folk who can't find a thing." "Now off you go to your bed for a rest, I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess." As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee, I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me. While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle, To his team, which then rose like the down of a thistle. And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight, "Family history is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!"

    3. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All: And thanks to those who responded to my query for Info. on ?? Morgan who married my gggrandmother Sarah Roland. From some of your responses his name may have been Amariah and he may have been a son of Lewis Morgan. I still need documents and sources to prove this theory. Thanks To all I live in Arizona so we have very little snow here for Christmas if ever. But I can remember Ohio Christmases that were white. As a Child, if it snowed on Christmas I was sure that Santa would make it to our house and really worried if it did not snow which it did not, alot. We cut our Christmas tree each year from our Farm - the old fashion cedar tree. Sticky! Most of the decorations were items that we kids made. Then Christmas Day, three generations would get together for dinner and of course eat to much. A Dinner made from scratch on a Kerosene Stove. Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas - Ann Martin

    1. [KYOWEN-L] Merry Christmas
    2. I started decorating my house last week it's my favorite time of the year with very found memories of Christmas at my grandparents house with all the family. I got to thinking what a fun way to get to know one another so I want to invite everyone to take a minute out of their busy scheduled and tell us something you remember about Christmas when you were a child or a story that has been passed down through the years, or just say HI and introduce yourself to the group. Christmas is a time for sharing and we have over 80 subscribers now on the list and have only heard from a few of you. Also stop by and take a look around Grandma's Front Porch. I know most of you go to the Parlor but please come visit my main page, both are decorated for Christmas. The main page is located at: http://members.aol.com/cliftoncuz/index.htm and you can connect to the Parlor through the this page. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- CHRISTMAS AT MY GRANDMA'S Grandma would have her house all decorated, it was my job to put the hanger on the ornament and hand it to her to hang on the tree. When we finished I had the fun of putting on all the tinsel, strand by strand. On Christmas Eve we would all go to their house and have oyster soup, how that got started I am not sure but we did it each year. We opened our presents that evening each person would unwrap a present with all of us waiting for our turn, it would take a couple of hours, but what fun. On Christmas Day Santa would visit our house, my grandparents always made sure we had something special under the tree from Santa. I always received a special gift on Christmas morning from Santa until I married and left home. We would go back to their house for Christmas dinner, with all the family together there was a least 22 of us and my grandparents home was not that big. My grandparent have been gone for several years and all the cousins are scattered around what I would not give to have one more Christmas at grandma's house. Christmas is quieter it's just my daughters family, she has two girls, 8 and 6. My mother will be arriving next week and stay through the first of the year and my daughter & son in law have Christmas at their house and we always stay over Christmas Eve to be there when Santa arrives. No more oyster soup, but my daughter still wants my mother to fix the dressing just like her grandma made, some things don't change. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- A very Merry Christmas to all of you, Barbara "Clifton" Guinn in little old Katy, Texas

    3. Does anyone know of any other cemeteries around the Canby area where Souders' are buried. On "Dog Walk" there is the Souder Cemetery, but are there any others in the area besides this one. I find it odd that neither Jacob Souder nor his first wife, Eliza Jane Lancaster Souder do not have a headstone in the Souder cemetery. I am beginning to think that maybe they are buried somewhere else!! Some folks say they are buried in the Souder cemetery at New Columbus, or Dog Walk as it is called locally, but I am wondering if there is another cemetery in the region that might be the one. In Jacob's obit., it says he was buried in the Souder burying ground near Canby... Can someone local help me.... Thanks...

Bartlett Mason (b.1780-d.abt 02/21/1861) m. Elizabeth Sinclair (b.1782-d.Sep 1852). 2. W. Sanderson Mason (b.1808-d.1863) m. Elizabeth Prather (second wife). 3. John Wesley Mason (b.02/26/1859-d.09/19/1939) m.01/06/1856 Mary Frances Whitton. 4. Golie Foster Mason m. Mary Ann Wainscott (sorry, no dates on them). I show they had 14 children. I don't know if this is of any help, but it's all I have unless you need the names of the 14 children. I have not yet personally researched this branch; my line runs from W. Sanderson Mason's marriage to his first wife, Louisa Anderson. Jim Mason (mailto:cousin@jett-mason.com)
