Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone out there is working on the Cartwright family with ties to the Moore's, Jumper's, James families and too many to name off the top of my head. They were in Desoto County, Tippah County, and Prentiss County, they have ties to Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee. I would love to find more of my distant family out there. Thanks, Marsha

Thanks Sin. In 1880 Amelia (Aurelia) Dome (Dones) was 33 years old. She was listed as a widow. However, I suspect most females heading a home was listed as widow. Her maiden name was Netterville. Trying to find her in 1870 has taken a lot of my time. I don't know her parents name, however, I have searched Nettervilles and Duncan's. A Duncan was the person who put up the $200 marriage bond for her and Willis Dones in 1869. Guess I will continue to look. Margaret

There were 20 or more families that migrated out of Franklin County, GA, to then Marion County, MS (later to become Lawrence), in the early 1810's, among whom were several Smiths, Maxwells, and Kees. Most of the Smiths were related, but the question always looms "how?" I have tried to organize these families a number of times, but my research always led to a loop since there was constant intermarriage between Smiths.

Dear Dover2, Here are the results from a search for +"the confederate veteran" +1894, using www.vivisimo.com : 1. The Fannin County Library (Georgia) has a set of The Confederate Veteran for 1893 and 1894. The site that had that information didn't have a link for the Fannin County Library. The main link for the library is http://www.rootsweb.com/~gafannin/library/MainMenu.html . I didn't find a way of doing a search on the site, but somewhere on it there should be at least a postal address. 2. A Civil War site - http://americancivilwar.50megs.com/CVM.html - has "best of Confederate Veteran" for the years 1893-1906. The site belongs to a Steven Cone. His e-mail address, as given on the "e-mail the webmaster" link, is [email protected] 3. Another site also called "The Best of Confederate of Confederate Veteran" says "An On Line Card Index to names contained in the Confederate Veteran Magazine is available here." When I tried it, I got an error message. However, further down the page it says that the whole set of "The Best of Confederate Veteran" is for sale as a CD. Here's the main link: http://www.researchonline.net/cvm/mastindx.htm , with the ads for the CD version towards the bottom of the page. Since the index link didn't work, I don't know whether the CD has the article you need. But at the very bottom of the page, in squinchy little print, you'll find the name, address, phone number and e-mail address of the man whose site it is and he might be willing to tell you if the CD has what you need. He's also the direct seller of the CD, the other being www.amazon.com . 4. The State of Missouri Historical Society's main page says "The Reference Library has a card catalog ... The Confederate Veteran magazine (1894-1932) contains many names of soldiers from all over the United States, and it is indexed..." I didn't find an online card catalogue - which doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't one. The Society takes research requests for a fee of $25 for out-of-state researchers. The request form for out-of-state requests is at http://www.umsystem.edu/shs/ofsrequestform.html . Vivisimo is useful for the way it clusters search results. In this case, I looked only at the cluster named "1894 Confederate Veterans Magazine" - there were nine sites listed, but some were duplicates. If none of this produces what you need, please let me know and I'll try to come up with some more places to look.

Her name was Mable Wilson Dement Warren. She taught in the elementary school during the 1930s. Her parents lived in Rankin Co. MS. Her husband owned a men's clothing store. She is buried in Rankin Co. at Gulde. Linda

How old was she on the 1880 Census? Move forward or backward in census records looking for children and add two or three children if she was young...Look at neighbors whom she may have married or look to known Uncles etc. whom she may have boarded with in old age. Hope this helps. And of course use every variation of name you can think of in looking them up. If there was known relatives, look for thier beat and street addresses if possible and check who is next door. Might find a surprise that way. Check for homes that may be torn down and were or were not replaced and addresses changed due to street and or road improvments. Does this help?

I had been under the impression that Isham and Capt Billy were brothers. As far as the term 4 pennies Smith--someone wrote the origin of it here once. I thought it had something to do with "not being worth a nickel" hence the 4 pennies. Don't quote me on that, I hope someone who really knows will answer that for us here. Was 4 pennies Smith(from the revolution) the father of Capt Billy? I thought I had read that some thought so, but could not prove it. Kathy
