Vonda, Keep the stories coming!!! (SMILE) I, for one, LOVE reading them! You make the White River Valley come alive! For those of us who may NEVER get back to Missouri, it is wonderful to read about the area. I finally found a connection that puts you in my family tree!! Not that WE are actually related, but there was a marriage that related us, and I am glad. (SMILE) The connection is through the SHEETS line. If you start with the marriage of John Franklin BLANSIT & Martha J. GIDEON, she was the daughter of John Wesley GIDEON & Lucy May WEATHERMAN, he was the son of George Washington GIDEON & Martha Jane LOGAN, and she was the daughter of old A. T. LOGAN & first wife Eliza TURNER!!!!!! I love reading the stories and will add them to your dad's file in my family tree.... Hmmmmm now I need to know more about YOUR parents - and siblings - and aunts and uncles..... I knew we had to be related one way or another!!! Glad to find the link.... (SMILE) Barbara Logan dlogan@alaska.net

Got this just as I'm getting ready to leave. Welcome, Stephanie! (and thanks for your kind words!) >>I just joined this list on yesterday. After being at a major brick wall for over a year on my surname I need help. The surname is QUIETT, QUIATTE, QUITT, QUITTE or anything that sounds like it. Stephanie redstick4@uswest.net<< 'Roun' my house, it's pronounced "Kwi-YUT!" Stephanie, what time frame and area are you looking for? I won't be home this weekend--I get to stay in a motel with a 9-year-old, 2 10-year-olds, a 17-year-old, an 18-year-old, and a 19-year-old, and no indoor pool (oh, and let's don't forget Greg <BG>). I've decided it's going to be a GOOD weekend, whether they like it or not. But there's several helpful folks around these lists who'll jump in...

The story Bessie and Dessie told Grandma was told to nearly every one of Grandma's cousins, by the parents' generation. I honestly don't know who told the story to start with; it could've been Nathaniel, in an effort to pretty up the real story, and give his half-Indian children some sort of reason for the absence of the grandparents who lived right across the road that crossed Little Indian Creek in Stone County. This road is now called Hwy 86, and south of the bridge is what most folks know as Dogwood Canyon, a division of Bass Pro. The Macomb line here goes Andrew b 1794>Abraham Marion b 1823 Rockbridge Co. VA d 1898 Stone Co. MO>Nathaniel Jefferson b 24 Mar 1853 Knoxville, Marion Co. IA d 18 Feb 1940 Shawnee, OK>Nathan Birdseye b 30 May 1884 d 22 Jun 1936, both in Stone Co. MO>Audie Edith (and she's still alive) This is what is called Infamous Family Knowledge; a story that is believed to be gospel truth, because "Daddy would never lie to me!" from our grandparents. Guess what? Somebody did! Documentation in this case proved it! Vonda Rebuttal/Agreement 7 May 1999 Fact #1--unless Nathaniel visited kin with his family, he was never in Macomb, IL. We don't know if Abraham was before 1848. Because of the marriage I've found for Andrew in Van Buren Co. IA in 1837, I imagine Abraham was in IA. I've not found him for the 1840 census yet. Abraham, according to IFK, was raised by his mother's brother, Nathaniel HILL. There are 3 in IL in 1840. Fact #2--The Phenix family never lived in IA or IL, as far as we know. There is no reason to think Levi didn't come straight to Christian Co. MO from Wood Co. OH sometime before Jan 1877 (when he bought the lot in Billings). What we don't know yet is why, or if Martha Ella and sister Mary came with him from the start, or if he sent for them after he arrived in Christian Co. [land deeds] Fact #3--Levi was a next-door (so to speak) neighbor of George W. Nokes, the Justice of the Peace who performed both Phenix-Macomb marriages in Sep 1879 in Christian Co. MO. This is in the 1880 census. Fact #4--Nathaniel and Martha Ella's first baby was Levi, and he is buried in the Blue Eye Cemetery. Fact #5--Many prejudiced people called dark-skinned people "Black". Yes, there were Cherokee in OH in the late 1700s and early 1800s. But Levi and Martha Ella's parents were both born in PA, according to the 1850, 1860, and 1880 census in Huron and Wood Co.s in OH. There are several reasons to think the Phenix family was French and Indian. (1) Bob Phoenix says his grandfather, Wesley, son of Levi, claimed to be French and Indian. (2) The first mention of the Phenix surname in North America is in the province of Quebec, Canada, and it was the French "Phenis". (3) Levi and Martha Ella's grandfather was born in NY abt 1788-1790, according to the above-mentioned census in OH. Research into that time period in NY reveals the Iroquois Nation--a nation of farmers--lived there; specifically the Oneida. (4) Why would 2 Indian people in SWMO in 1922 name a daughter Ruby Oneida (spelled Onedia on her tombstone), if one parent who never used his middle name, who was the only child in his family with a possible Indian middle name himself, didn't want to leave a clue? (5) The migration pattern of the Iroquois/Oneida fits with what we know of the Phenix family's movement--Canada>>NY>>PA>>OH, where our group stopped. Many went onto Wisconsin, and some back up into Canada, between the Great Lakes region. (6) The Oneida were tobacco farmers. Fact #6--Abraham brought his family to Christian Co. MO from Montgomery Co. KS after 1870, and before the growing season of 1876. They lived near Delaware Town; this is where Hwy 14 in Christian Co. crosses the James River. Fact #7--Abraham did live south of Nathaniel and Martha Ella. Sue Flodberg says Bessie Moore told her that Abraham and Margaret were buried in a cemetery in "Elk" (Oak) Grove, Carroll Co. AR. Abraham outlived Margaret, and was senile in his old age. Sue can't remember who took care of him, but he used to try to stick his fingers in the hot food while meals were being prepared. Once, he actually succeeded, and was badly burned. Fact #8--Nathaniel's mother's maiden name was Cox. Martha Ella's mother's maiden name was Dimond. Both Dimonds and Phenixes were in Luzerne Co. PA in the early 1800s. The Dimonds could also be Iroquois/Oneida. They are not connected with the Diamond Match Company, another family legend; it wasn't named for a family, but for another reason. Fact #9--Nathaniel "proved up" his homestead patent in 1902. Martha Ella died in 1903. Abraham died between 4 May-22 Aug 1898, according to his pension papers; Margaret apparently died 1891-1898, for she is not mentioned as receiving a pension after Abraham's death. Although both Nathan and Nathaniel moved to the Shawnee, OK area after the 1910 Stone Co. MO Census, they were both back in Taney/Stone County by 1920.

Okay, just so y'all don't think I've forgotten the real reason we're here...you post some stuff, and I won't feel compelled to be a commentator on hillbilly idiosyncrasies. Maybe. This is a story related to my grandmother, Audie E. MACOMB WILSON, by her first cousins, Bessie FAIN COFFMAN and Dessie FAIN JOHNSON. (The women are sisters, but not twins) Their mother was Mary Lavina "Viney" MACOMB FAIN, d/o Nathaniel Jefferson MACOMB and Martha Ella PHENIX. Grandma's father was Viney's brother Nathan Birdseye MACOMB. I bet good genealogists such as yourselves ain't confused yet. I left Grandma's spelling like she did it. "Word" hates when you do that. Rebuttal follows. Vonda Bessie and Dessie’s Story Copied from a paper received by Vonda Wilson Sheets from Audie Edith Macomb Wilson, Jan 1991. "October 24 25 1988 This story told to me by Bessie Coffman + Dessie Johnson, as told to them by their mother.

If you're a hillbilly, or descended from a hillbilly, it ain't natural if you don't have a collection. You can collect just about anything, but lots of folks collect ROCKS. I personally stick with books and music--I tend not to understand why a person would collect rocks. Arrowheads, okay, and I know they're made out of rock...but just rocks? I've never understood how a person could have a house totally free of clutter, either--that's about as foreign to me as a house that gets dusted more than--well, I plead the Fifth. My bathrooms are clean, though. We went to CO on vacation the summer I was 12. We drove a 1967 Ford Galaxy--it was pretty--and it was pretty loaded with suitcases and us. A week later, it was loaded even heavier with rocks...rocks that Daddy picked up. I don't know if those rocks are any different from Taney County rocks, but I do wonder if some future archeologist/rock-dude geologist will be able to tell a difference, and think there was an Ice Age or something during the 20th Century? I must be a mutant in the family, for my son, my dad, and my Grandma all collect rocks. And I've met all kinds of people, native to Taney and other WRV counties, who collect rocks. And believe it or not, they ain't even close kin, just married in somewhere! And once in a while, there isn't even a marriage in common... There's a guy who lived over by Forsyth who had done all kinds of landscaping with thousands of arrowheads he'd found over the years. As I said, arrowheads, I kinda understand... Daddy can just walk around a place for a couple of minutes, and if there's an arrowhead within 100 feet of him, it'll jump up and lay there, right out in the open, begging for him to pick it up and take it home with him. Over the years, he's gotten so many, he'll look it over good, and if it's a decent one, he'll put it in his pocket. He might toss it in a pile of just-decent ones when he gets home, but again...what are the archeologists going to think? Daddy doesn't carve them, although he knows folks who do, and he's messed around with some flake-chipping. Should I leave a letter in a time capsule to those poor future archeologists? I've mentioned before--this man will go out every so often, dig a hole somewhere on the property, and put a currently-dated item at the bottom, put back some dirt, then drop one of his just-decent arrowheads in between that and the top...and fill it back in till he's done. But it just occurred to me that the rock collecting is another problem. When Greg and I thought we were going to get our house built up north of Bear Creek, my son TJ would jump in front of the backhoe Greg was moving dirt with, to "rescue" a rock. We currently don't know exactly where these rocks are--I'm afraid to ask. I do know they aren't in his bedroom. Greg wondered why TJ was collecting rocks, but then I found a big limestone flake that had broken off the shelf during the hole-digging, and decided it would look good up on the road (200 feet up a very steep hill), with our house number carved on it. It's sitting up there, now, too. Greg only asked "why?" once, and I told him not to claim to be hillbilly if he asked again. Them city folks up in Springfield last spring decided to put a park in the center city area. They're going to "find" Jordan Creek, which was the place the first settlers founded Springfield on, and had been covered with concrete and asphalt over the years since. I got sorta aggravated when the newspaper published that a big debate was going on--should we make Jordan Creek one of those futuristic-looking springs that has fountains and statues? I wanted to go up and knock on someone's forehead to ask if they were home. I wasn't the only one, for a huge turnout at the next planning meeting hollered for a "natural" brook, with "real" rock and moss, ending in a pool. This will re-create Jordan Creek some distance above where the real Jordan Creek presumably still flows. I know where they can get some real rocks, too. Grandma has what appears to be a pile of creek gravel around her front door. The first step going up to the door (which is about 30 inches above the ground), is a nice flat rock, semi-oval, about 24 inches across. The next two steps are concrete block-built, with a base about 4 feet wide. All around this "stoop", she has these rocks--the seemingly-innocent creek gravel, but I know better--she's picked up over the years. I've seen her doing it. She can tell you, of all these thousand rocks, which ones came from where, and why she picked it up...that one is a fossil of some creature, this one looks like MO without the boot heel, that one she got in Washington DC when she visited my aunt. The bigger ones, the ones she brought home from the Gulf of Mexico or Florida and sundry other places, they are all lined up along the house foundation. All the way around the house. This was apparently a Phenix family trait--I don't know where y'all who don't have an ancestor named Phenix got it. But my gg grandmother's brother, Levi Phenix, apparently liked rocks and caves so much, he spent most of his time messing with them. About 20 years ago, the county came through and did some digging for water lines from various county wells, in case residents wanted or needed to tap into them in the future. Dirt in the WRV being a scarce commodity everywhere but down in the valleys, they had to dig up some big rocks in order to bury the lines. Grandma has a rock about the size of a queen-sized bed (and 18 inches tall) up where Wilson Lane meets Bee Creek Road from those crews. She just walked up and told them one day that since they had to take out some trees she'd planted in the 1950s, they could just leave that rock there. And they did. Another one, this one about 3 1/2 feet tall and the width of a breakfast table, sits nearby. That's rock collecting. Scary, ain't it? My family has rocks from places all over the US. You know the really sad part? Greg and I were in WalMart tonight, trying to figure out some kind of wedding gift for his sister. On an endcap, there sat these table-top fountains. They are some kind of cast resin or something, with real rocks to scatter around the "pool" base. The rocks have been so highly polished, you can see your reflection in them. Greg, who can fix or build anything except for a hearing aid (and they're pretty specialized!) kept walking, but I started messing with those rocks on the display model. I mentioned to him when he came back that he could build me one of these fountains (hint, hint), and we could put our own rocks in it. We bought one for his sister. We bought Rocks. That's bad.

Nancy, Jackie, and others researching Cherokee families... Does anyone know how many bands of Cherokee there are in MO and AR, for sure? Has any band ever been accused of not being legit? Do you recommend a person join a band close to home, or one that is based where your people lived? I recently had someone write me about some of his Cherokee ancestors; do any bands base membership on whether a person was on any earlier rolls than Dawes/Guion Miller? In this case, the Drennen Rolls? What do bands use to verify a person's ancestry? I know folks have to submit proof of descendancy from a certain ancestor, via census records, birth and death certs, etc. But say a person's people aren't on any of the rolls that have been published in Bob Blankenship's "Cherokee By Blood" Series...are there other rolls that bands other than the Western Nation, the Eastern Nation, and the United Keetoowah tribes use? They would have to go on something other than hearsay; after all, they don't just accept someone's application, do they? There is more I need to know about this; others on this list who are looking, and would like to learn. After all, most of us with White River Valley ancestors have Cherokee, Shawnee, Delaware, Creek, or maybe even Osage in us at some point... Would y'all consent to maybe posting some stuff about these things? I realize that's a lot to ask, but there's a lot that people just don't learn about the process or what to do and not do. A lot of bands now have websites, but they aren't answering the questions I have, it seems. Or maybe I'm not asking the right questions. (Maybe you could also help me figure out if I should attempt to get a grant to study the early Cherokee in MO and AR? <G>) Vonda

... and Rubber Snakes Will Haunt Him I’ve mentioned before that my dad is a prankster. There are times his life seems to be full of “jocularity”, as Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H calls it. Those of us in his family know better, of course, but he does seem to feed on his unnatural ability to play pranks on just about anyone. I read in a stand-up comic’s biography recently that a highly developed sense of humor is a sure sign of super intelligence. If that’s the case, Daddy should have been a charter member of Mensa. Grandma is one of his favorite victims. The summer he and Mom decided to make the one long driveway we had into a circle drive, he took his beat-up old Chevy pickup (known to many as “Lonnie Baker”) up to Grandma’s house to take her for a ride down to our place. Told Grandma he had to show her something, and he did. He went barreling down the dirt road, went right past our drive, and just as Grandma said, “Well, Joe, you drove past your drive!” he turned right off into the woods. Just made the trail for the new driveway, with Grandma bouncing around in the cab of the old truck hollering for dear life. When he finally came to a stop several minutes later, Grandma jumped out of that truck and ran into the house. She told Mom that Daddy had lost his mind. Daddy came in, laughing with tears in his eyes, and then took Mom up to show her the path he’d carved out for the new drive. Mom started laughing too, when she realized that Grandma had “helped” pick out the trail. I think squirrels are both Daddy’s least and most favorite animals. I have heard more squirrel stories out of him, anyway. In all the years Daddy’s worked for the electric co-operative, I think more transformers have been blown by squirrels than for any other reason. When there doesn’t seem to be a reason for a transformer to blow, I know he looks around until he finds a squirrel that’s been electrocuted. If he even halfway knows the customers whose house is nearby, they will find that poor squirrel usually sitting in an upright position. On birdfeeders, mailboxes, porch posts, you name it. Sometimes, he finds two dead squirrels, and he has put them somewhere obvious in different positions—fighting, buddy-buddy, sharing a story, whatever comes to his fiendish mind. Sometimes he doesn't have know the customer--just does it anyway. One time recently, he found the squirrel before it had stiffened up, and stuck it in a small tree by the front door of the house the transformer served. Unbeknownst to Daddy, one of the children who lived in the house was home sick from school, and he was watching Daddy walking around in the yard. As Daddy was positioning the squirrel with an arm around a small branch above its head level, the child called his father at work. “Don’t go outside, son,” he was advised. “I know that man, and he’s crazy!” The man happened to be a friend of Daddy’s, and told Daddy sometime later he’d been watched. Daddy still chuckles about it. Daddy’s one problem with the electrocuted squirrels? He hasn’t been able to make one hold a beverage can yet. He keeps one in the truck, just in case it works someday. Years ago, Daddy bought a 1961 Chevy Bel-Aire in mint condition. Such a beautiful car had to have its own shed, so Daddy built a small barn, forever known as “the Chevy Barn”, to park it in. This was the 3rd or 4th storage shed on his place. One spring, a few years later, Daddy found a nest of baby squirrels in his Chevy barn, and proceeded to chase them out with a broom. The little squirrels must have been close to maturity, but one was slower than the rest, and Daddy caught him (or her). He held that squirrel up so he could look it in the eye, and with his forefinger, gently tapped it on one cheek, then the other, all the while roaring, admonishing it to “STAY OUT OF MY CHEVY BARN!” Then he put the squirrel down, and watched it go running after its siblings. “AND TELL YOUR FAMILY! DON’T GO IN MY CHEVY BARN!” For several years after that, every time Daddy went out to the backyard in the spring and early summer, he could hear a squirrel chattering away. Nearly all squirrels look alike, but to this day, Daddy believes it was the one he caught loitering in his Chevy barn. And it was chewing Daddy out, big time. I don’t know how long squirrels live, but that particular one probably taught its children to stay inside while Daddy was around—“I know that man, and he’s crazy!” And their children and so on have all probably learned about Daddy. Not one has dared to try to nest in the Chevy Barn, either. Squirrels have really led him a chase, that’s for sure. Nothing he hasn’t earned. My sister and I grew up with a dog that chased one particular squirrel for years. For all I know, it was the same squirrel Daddy had chewed out. This squirrel would sit at the bottom of the driveway’s slope, chattering away at Patches, until the poor dog could stand it no longer. He’d go barreling up the driveway, barking like mad, and the squirrel would sit there, watching him until Patches got close enough to think “I’ve got him this time!” Then he’d scamper up the big oak nearby. And if squirrels laugh—around our house, we had reason to think they do—that old squirrel would laugh for a very long time. Patches would come back to the house, abashed and dejected, and if Daddy had seen it, Daddy would just pat his head in sympathy. And both of them would shoot looks full of daggers at that squirrel, laughing up in the oak. One of my uncles says Patches was the dumbest dog he ever knew. I grant you, he kept trying to play with skunks for years, until he got too old to go runnin'. He and Daddy got sprayed together one time, walking home in the dark, down the pathway from Grandma's. Patches used to scare the tar out of all of us, out on walks at night, for this black-and-white blur would come running up behind us, pass us, then whirl around to face us. We knew that's not skunk behavior, but you try to keep from jumping when you see a black-and-white blur out in the country at night. There’s not many who have not been a victim of Daddy’s at some point in time, especially the guys he’s worked with, or knows from work. Daddy always laughs and tells stories of some of the things he’s done to some unsuspecting new guy on the job. I think he does it to make them feel welcome, but it seems to have become a rite of passage. If you survive a trick by “that man”, you’ve done your time. And if “that man” doesn’t eventually play a trick on you, most of the guys who work there will figure you’ve got a problem. One new guy was very afraid of snakes (aren’t most people?). He has had to use Daddy’s work truck out on trouble call, and I guess he’s left it in a condition that’s shown it’s been “borrowed”. When Daddy found out about his phobia, he was in for it. Paybacks, y’know. So when Daddy checked the trouble call schedule to see when this particular young man was going to be on call, he had the perfect weapon. And sure enough, the young man pulled down the sun visor to get the clipboard out, and a snake fell into his lap. To hear Daddy tell it, the pore fella nearly died of fright. A couple of months passed, and Daddy had the opportunity again. Sure enough, he got satisfactory results with another rubber snake. Recently, Daddy related the story to a friend in Kansas. Not much later, he received a rubber snake in the mail, all alone in the envelope. He’s had 3 delivered the same way; he’s started thinking he better ask his friend just what is going on, but he’s a little afraid to find out… Before the most recent delivery however, he had the opportunity to use another rubber snake in his truck again. This time, however, he didn’t hear about it—he saw the results. The next time Daddy got into his truck, the head and tail of the snake had been removed. The tail had been stuck in the snakehead’s mouth, and the head was impaled with an ink pen on the dash. I’ m sure Daddy’s respect for the young man was increased with just that. However, the young man in question decided he would get more than a smidgen of respect from Daddy. He took that rubber snake’s body, and he buried it somewhere on the home place—or so Daddy thinks. When Daddy asked as to the whereabouts of the rest of the snake, the young man said, “Y’know, Joe, you are going to walk by that four inches of snake body every day for the rest of your life. You will be within 15 inches of it, every time you step outside your house.” Daddy still can’t find it.

Well, now... I know I don't have to warn anyone to be good this weekend...ain't nobody writin' nuttin' ennyway... Greg's sister is getting married up in Kansas City this weekend, so we're leaving at noon tomorrow. Gonna have all 5 kids plus the 19-yr-old's girlfriend with us by tomorrow evening...Wayne and Jennifer are bringing Guy up later in the afternoon. For some reason, although Guy has driven himself up to KC the last 2 times we've gone, for Greg's bro's wedding and his grandpa's funeral, this time, he doesn't want to. Hmmm. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that his recently-acquired 1965 Chevy long-bed pickup only gets about 10 miles per gallon? LOL On a different note, y'all know I've been rather busy working on the historical/cultural preservation stuff lately. Look for an announcement next week concerning more; you might want to schedule some vacation time and plan to come home for a couple of things going on. After all the hollerin' I've been doing about land being sold to developers, etc., I saw a "For Sale" sign on some property across the street from my grandmother's today. While I knew it had been hers a long time ago, I didn't know if it was still. But when I saw the realtor's name, I got a cold chill, for it was a friend of Grandma's. At one time, Bee Creek Road was really out in the country, although it's only about 3 miles from downtown Branson. Within the past 10 years, a lot of subdivisions and housing has gone in on Bee Creek Road, and the city limits have crept farther north and east on Hwy 65, till my grandmother's place and my folks' place is just barely outside. We stopped by my parents' place for a few minutes, and I asked if that was still Grandma's land, and if so, why was she selling it? I KNOW my Dad doesn't want her to, anyway; and he snorted and said, "Ask her." So guess I will. I mean, my dad bought up 3 lots between Grandma's place and the subdivision north of her a number years ago, to prevent houses from being built on the little lane that led down to his and Mom's place. Rather to the aggravation of the neighbors, he didn't brush hog and clear it off--not my daddy. Oh, no, he let the little cedar saplings get nice and tall, and while he keeps it mowed along the ditchline and about 10 feet from the road, the rest of it is as wild as any place you'll find. When a few of the neighbors--this neighborhood is big on manicured, green lawns, with all kinds of doodads in the landscaping--confronted Daddy about the wildness of these lots, he told them flat out the deer in the neighborhood needed a place to sleep and hide. And they use it, too. This piece for sale, if I remember right, is at least 5 acres, and closer to 10. Old Ike Thompson--we've talked about him before, he used to own Branson Floral--would drive out everyday and work the land just up the hill from it--he had gorgeous gardens. Ben and Pauline Layton Barton own it now, and they, too, keep it like Ike did, with lots of gardens and various places for wildlife. The bad part is, she can get a real pretty piece of money for that land. Yes, I could offer to buy it, but that just wasn't part of my grand plan, and I don't have the funds to do so. Twenty years ago, when folks approached her about selling any land, she told them only if they paid $2,000/acre for it. That's real cheap for land in Taney these days...she could get 5-10 times that much now, or more. Simple lots for homes, with no utilities, are going anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on location and the contractor. And you could say that, while it's not prime Hwy 76 frontage, it's prime for housing. And I didn't win the lottery last night. You know that raspberry noise you make with your mouth when you're aggravated? That's about how I feel right now. I'm going to send y'all some stories... Have a GREAT weekend!

Anyone else looking for this bunch? Gretchen, If you don't want to do up your own website with things like a scan of that newspaper clipping, etc, why don't you write the story and send it to me? I can do up--ALERT! NEW IDEA!--real quick-like, a webpage and link it to the relevant county! Oh, my. My brain is doing horrible things to me...open mouth, insert keyboard. This goes for everyone, but let's not do anything but text files and a real common font, like Times New Roman or Arial black, at least at first. It can take me an hour to figure out what I'm doing on days like today, when Greg's home...LOL Vonda ListMom for MOTANEY and MO-AR-WRV at Rootsweb http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/ P.S. Gretchen, what Bakers? No relation to the ones in Carroll County who were from Cape Girardeau, are they? Gretchen wrote: Dear Vonda, I have been reading your email's but nothing was significant until now. My husband's family came to Indepencence Co., AR in 1857 (Black River). Then two of the children (my husband's ggrandfather and his children) came to Gassville (Mt. Home) AR around 1875. Names that I have info on are: Angus Browning, Henry Clay Browning (postmaster in Gassville around 1907), Newman, Hogan, and Carter. Some of the Brownings stayed in Batesville, AR along with other family names: Nix, Baker. Let me know what info you want. My husband and I were in Gassville/Mt. Home this past summer. The day after we left they opened a brand new historical society building in Gassville in the old hospital which is next to the old postoffice and the old grocery store that Henry Clay Browning (my husband's grandfather) owned and worked. I also have an original news clipping of a murder supposededly committed by Bart Carter along with help from his father Anderson Carter (they were lynched a few days later). Still trying to find the connection to Nix/Browning Family. Looking forward to hearing from you. Gretchen Truxal truxal@postoffice.pacbell.net

I ain't done yakkin', but ain't got much more. Last night I tried to do some fixin' on the index page of the WRV site, and for some reason, the site wouldn't co-operate. Tonight, almost 23 hours later, Greg finds out why...it's a long, technical thing, but let's just say I had 2 of the same pages in 2 different places with different names. And that was just on the Rootsweb server. We won't discuss my "Documents Already Uploaded" folder. But now the new page is there, bigger print...and the cabins ain't all the way "over there" anymore. There isn't much new, although I did put a link to our Copper Turtle site in case anyone wants to buy the Townsend Godsey books I did excerpts from back before our server burped in September. A list of most of my books on the WRV is there--I've acquired more--but before you go hollerin' at me about how there's a couple of typos, and how you get around the CT site...I didn't do it. I'm not saying who did it, but he lives in my house, and he's a pretty nice guy, and since my job is to make him happy, I'm not going to go in hollering about mis-used words and so on. Poor fella. He put an ugly picture of me up there, too, and while I've not thrown any darts at it... I used to be a -9 in nearsightedness...if any of y'all know anything about myopia, you know that's pretty bad. I didn't go blind...I had that LASIK surgery almost a year ago. I went from really thick glasses to roughly 20/30. They told me I might need reading glasses eventually, but gosh, I'd take that anyday over the hard lense/gas perm contacts I wore for 21 years. I do have a point here. I'm finding out, the more web pages I do, that it's much nicer to use a larger, clearer font to read, and a light-colored background. I've never been a big fan of the color yellow, but it tends to be the easiest on my eyes for reading. I've redone the Cherokee pages, and the Hillbilly pages, and a couple others in the "Rags" section I thought really needed some cleaning up/enlarging in the past couple of months, trying to make them prettier to look at and easier to see. The big bottle of Excedrin For Migraines sitting next to my monitor has hardly been touched since I figured this out. It makes for more scrolling, but I would rather scroll reading something than squint or get a headache. Anyway, if someone sees a page at the WRV site that is just difficult to read because the print's too small, or there's way too much contrast (gotta have some, gets boring otherwise), please let me know. There's a good chance I missed something somewhere...my train of thought jumps the track sometimes. You'll be happy to know that Greg isn't on the SSDI, either...I sure hope none of y'all ain't, either. But as quiet as y'all have been, I've gotta wonder...

Jerry, it is a historic home built by Major Jacob Wolf near or at the town of Norfolk/North Fork. It also mentions Calico Rock and the War Eagle area at the head of the White River. Evidently Major Wolf was the person who started the county there which , I think, started out as Izard Co....but was divided up later into other counties.

I found this posted today. Hope it helps someone. Charles I found the following on Somebody's Links on Roots Web. Hope it helps someone. I recently purchased at a flea market in Arizona the family Bible (from the 1950s, normal size) of the Walter JOHNSON family of Green County, Arkansas. I do not plan to sell this Bible, but will send it to the rightful owner for just the cost of postage. It needs to go home! It has already seen some hard times. I will list below some of the names mentioned, and someone in the right family might be able to identify the others: JOHNSON, LEWIS, FLEMING, JONES, BREWER, SMITH, and HORSTMAN, to name a few. Also, Mr. JOHNSON was married outside the state of Arkansas. Maybe a family member could tell me where to enable me to get this Bible to the proper family. Sandra Fischer snf@uswest.net
