I have to say that I find this thread most interesting. I lived around that particular area for most of my life. The names: Taylor, Ellis, Goslee, Cooper, Hastings, etc. are all very familiar to me as they were neighbors, members of local churches, schoolmates. I lived on a farm that was known as the "Gordy Hastings Farm" and our neighbors were Ellises, Kinnikins, Goslees. . . .you get the picture. If anyone needs me to take a look at or for tombstones over around Sharptown, or at Mt. Pleasant Church west of Laurel off of Route 24, let me know. I'm over that way quite a bit. Teresa A.

Teresa, As you have been working on our Waller line, did you realize that George Alfred Waller and Rosa E. Gordy - m. 12/11/1889 was a link we also had been documenting, trying to find more out about Rosa--all my father had ever known of his Gmother was that she was an 'orphan' at one time. We found that her father died, mother remarried a LeCates?, possibly had another son, then Mary, Rosa's mother died. We think Rosa, her sister and stepbrother, might have ended up living with either Mary's sister, or a LeCates relative? Amazing that we found Rosa's grave back in the 1990's--apparently near where you live(d) or on the same farm? And that there are Gordy sisters in the Oklahoma area who have put together an entire Gordy lineage book (ironically they lived about 30 minutes north of where my sisters & I grew up in the 1960's in OK)?
