My Father & Mother-in Law restarted Rock Spring Church, back in the late 70's.( Rev. Leon & Loraine Erwin ) There was no one comming there at that time and the man that own the land wanted it to stay a church., So my in law's and Carl ( as song leader ) & Pattie Buchanan restarted the church. On the 1st Sunday we packed the church with family. Glenn & I with our kids came from Texas picking up my Grandparents in FT. Smith . Glenn's sister and family from Joplin and a few people from the community around the church. During the time my father-in-law and the Buchanans were there. The church grew in members and size. They build a bathroom ( a big thing) and added on to the church. My father-in-law got the money from "The Little Church House" in Houston, Texas. I think it was money from a Texas oil man who gave money to little churchs to add on to their buildings. All you had to do was sent him the plans and he sent the money. When you finished , sent them a photo. Nothing else. We still have all the paperwork and plans here.

Ruthie Walters Townsend lives in the school house across the road and she alerted us of the news by way of Face Book. The pioneers are buried there in the cemetery by her house. She took a photo of the old bell and of the building and so we are featuring it this week. We have 222 members on Face Book - Barry County, Places and Things Remembered. You are welcome to join us if you would like. The discussion this week has been interesting and several photos were posted. A photo of Albert Owens taken in Purdy and one of Tom Preddy were posted. Discussion of the Curry Store post card and the house behind it was one of the subjects. As soon as can - I will put those on Barry County Roots site. How many people do you think have walked through these doors and heard this old bell since 1868 or whatever year it was that this pioneer church was built? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm News update on my DNA - I have found a Simpson 5th cousin that connects with one of my Simpson families. In case you haven't been following - I have two Simpson families. This one connects in Kentucky about 1770 or earlier. This Simpson group apparently isn't related to the other one. I have to figure out how I connect but I am making progress on the study. After I finished painting last night I was up until midnight looking at files - reading wills and deeds. My web page work is suffering while I selfishly play with my DNA. Old House update - I am painting the kitchen now and hope to finish that process up in a couple of days. I HOPE - HOPE we can get cabinets and floor covering in soon! I am tired of using what we call a makeshift kitchen that we set up in the dinning room. We started remolding and building on Easter of last year and so I we are worn completely out with this project. Other updates - Last winter while we were camped in California I started writing fiction again. *drum roll* This week I sold a novel to Siren Publishers an e-book company. *drum roll* My book will be released in May with a paperback to follow in September. I am not sure about the details on the paperback - because it is an e-book. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and major companies will handle it and will be accessible for Nook, I Pad, and Kindle. It is a romance novel with a murder mystery suspense plot. The name of it is TROUBLE ON SUGAR CREEK and the setting is Barry County. The publisher could change the title and location - but so far haven't suggested that they would like to make any changes - so we will see. I suppose the love of writing is a gene my mother gave me, because she has published several novels. One of her books is LIBBY'S JOURNAL and is available on Amazon. On the Barry County Web site - I am competing six years as your coordinator this week on the 12th, the day before I roll over another birthday year. I have been rebuilding some of the pages and am working on Monett - IOOF since we have some new photos to post that Connie Schmidt took. Phyllis Long, my helper has been suffering from carpal tunnel and eye problems. I really miss her help - but most of all hope she gets well fast.

I can't get Barry County Places and Things Remembered to come up on Face Book. Is this the correct name? Thanks. Michele Rosewitz -----Original Message----- From: mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Donna Cooper Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 6:36 AM To: mobarry@rootsweb.com Cc: ruthietownsend@gmail.com Subject: [MOBARRY] Featured Photo & News List Readers, some of the news is that they are going to tear down the old Rock Springs Church, which is still standing next to their new building. Ruthie Walters Townsend lives in the school house across the road and she alerted us of the news by way of Face Book. The pioneers are buried there in the cemetery by her house. She took a photo of the old bell and of the building and so we are featuring it this week. We have 222 members on Face Book - Barry County, Places and Things Remembered. You are welcome to join us if you would like. The discussion this week has been interesting and several photos were posted. A photo of Albert Owens taken in Purdy and one of Tom Preddy were posted. Discussion of the Curry Store post card and the house behind it was one of the subjects. As soon as can - I will put those on Barry County Roots site. How many people do you think have walked through these doors and heard this old bell since 1868 or whatever year it was that this pioneer church was built? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm News update on my DNA - I have found a Simpson 5th cousin that connects with one of my Simpson families. In case you haven't been following - I have two Simpson families. This one connects in Kentucky about 1770 or earlier. This Simpson group apparently isn't related to the other one. I have to figure out how I connect but I am making progress on the study. After I finished painting last night I was up until midnight looking at files - reading wills and deeds. My web page work is suffering while I selfishly play with my DNA. Old House update - I am painting the kitchen now and hope to finish that process up in a couple of days. I HOPE - HOPE we can get cabinets and floor covering in soon! I am tired of using what we call a makeshift kitchen that we set up in the dinning room. We started remolding and building on Easter of last year and so I we are worn completely out with this project. Other updates - Last winter while we were camped in California I started writing fiction again. *drum roll* This week I sold a novel to Siren Publishers an e-book company. *drum roll* My book will be released in May with a paperback to follow in September. I am not sure about the details on the paperback - because it is an e-book. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and major companies will handle it and will be accessible for Nook, I Pad, and Kindle. It is a romance novel with a murder mystery suspense plot. The name of it is TROUBLE ON SUGAR CREEK and the setting is Barry County. The publisher could change the title and location - but so far haven't suggested that they would like to make any changes - so we will see. I suppose the love of writing is a gene my mother gave me, because she has published several novels. One of her books is LIBBY'S JOURNAL and is available on Amazon. On the Barry County Web site - I am competing six years as your coordinator this week on the 12th, the day before I roll over another birthday year. I have been rebuilding some of the pages and am working on Monett - IOOF since we have some new photos to post that Connie Schmidt took. Phyllis Long, my helper has been suffering from carpal tunnel and eye problems. I really miss her help - but most of all hope she gets well fast.

List Readers, Carolyn Hess, and Bob Akins, I see that the Bristow and Burchett families are showing up in my DNA - along with a Hiram Long connection to my Barry County people. I am assuming this is from the Long and Burchett connection and then the Burchett and Bristow connection. Somebody out there - please tell us how are these Bristows are related to Louisa Bristow who moved to Barry County from Warrick Co., IN? Donna Cooper

To Deena - and to all the others who have sent mail asking me about my DNA experience. Since several of you have asked questions I thought I'd answer on line. I hope not to bore you who are not interested in the subject. If so, my apologies - just hit the delete! I used Family Tree DNA. They had it on sale through December - I noticed a little bit ago that they extended the sale through Jan. 7th. I used the Family Finder kit, but for men they would do Y Chromosome testing. The reason I did the test is that I am hoping to find cousins and relatives of my elusive George Simpson who lived in Barry County at one time. We do have the promise of a direct descent of a man who says he will do the Y Chromosome testing for us. I am still hoping he will follow through because he is the only male direct descendant. So far, I haven't accomplished what I want to find out - but am having fun by firming up a lot of my files. It is great to see a line that I worked on and then to see a distant and remote cousin's file with the same family line. It makes it worthwhile. A man in Pennsylvania, from a leg of the family separated by 200 years turned up as a cousin on two of my families. I am finding out that some of my Barry County lines are matching with people who are from the same families but the connection dates back to the early days of settlement. I am seeing that most of those people are sometimes related to me in more than one way. The clusters of families who lived in geographical pockets for several generations seemed to be interrelated - and so that is helping some, I think. They take your markers and compare them with other men and women who have done DNA. For women it is called MTDNA - mitochondrial - and so all you see who has markers that match yours - they will give you the details - say third cousin or so. If you have overlapping families a 10th cousin my show up as a 3rd or say 2nd cousin. Then you compare your families to theirs for about nine generations to see what families they descend from and take it from there. Some people don't get the full benefit of it because they don't put a list of names or a Gedcom on their data sheets. I think that is a mistake - unless you are a man and doing Y Chromosome testing. Then you take all the markers and compare them by number. I can not believe the number of early day Virginia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky families that are popping up in the surnames of distant cousins - that I didn't expect to see. My Mills and Haddock families in North Carolina and Maryland are not showing up as Mills and Haddock, and are disguised in a cousin's line of names. I really am having to study the early day Maryland and Craven Co., NC names again and refresh my memory, as well as the Knox County, Kentucky names, too. I don't know why I singled just just them out. The early day Virginia ones are a hard, but the Massachusetts and Connecticut ones seem easier. That might be because I spent more years studying them and am more familiar with instant recall of families there. Nevertheless, it is a chore. So - this is not a piece of cake - it takes work to figure some of it out, but it is super fun! The finish work on my kitchen's sheet rock is lagging behind as well as my web work for the web site - all for the joy of DNA. I hope you have a good genealogy year in 2012 and that you stay well.

Donna, I also wonder which DNA company you used. It sounds like you can learn lots more than I realized. Could be a fun project for the new year. Deena Mault

So what program or vendor did you use for the DNA test?  I forsee my Dad getting his mouth swabbed for his birthday!!!   Cheryl   As I told you yesterday I did DNA back the first part of December and my results came in yesterday.

Good Morning List Readers, here we are on the first day of a brand new year. It looks the same as the last day of 2011 - wonder what happened? As I told you yesterday I did DNA back the first part of December and my results came in yesterday. For hours I have plowed through that stuff reading and trying to understand what I have. All this time my mud and tape job is going to the dogs while I study genetic markers. Here is the long and the short of it - I am related to all of you! LOL No, not so! Just kidding! But the truth is that I have cousins that connect to names that I have never heard of before. I have done more genealogy that 90% of the people out there so I really didn't expect too many surprises; however, there was one major one around 12% of my ancestors came from Sweden and Finland. Maybe this has something to do with my Simpson mystery - don't know. I plowed threw stacks of New England families, checking my work against the DNA results - coming up with no new surprises other than I have a lot of relatives. My Barry County Crumley line connects in Georgia, and so I see a lot of names there on trees of cousins that I am surprised to find. Daniel Boone's Morgan connection and mine connect and his Sarah and my Ruth were sisters - looks like I had that one right. Anyway, I see that I have my Fedro - Fetrow family lineage correct and that they did come from Heidelberg, Germany as I have reported. This one has Barry County by the neck with Janetta Fetrow who was married to New Englander James Alvin Pease. A lot of the Fetrows are buried in Cedar, Kansas. On my Hancock - another Barry County family - I see that Cooper County, MO, was named for one of my kinsmen - connecting to the Shashell Cooper line, a famous frontiersmen who built Cooper's Fort in the early days of Missouri. I am related to them through Ruth Hancock, daughter of Stephen Hancock and Catherine Merchant - through Benjamin and Jane (Armeger) Hancock of Goochland Co., VA. I see that my Jamestown connection to the Hancock family looks sound, too, since I am a cousin to one another leg of the family that comes through the group. In the data was pages and pages of connections to families that I would have no idea about had I not studied some of the early colonial families. Don't misunderstand me - there is plenty there that is confusing and much there that I don't understand. Since I have cousins on the brain I chose a featured photo that Jay McCandless submitted that he called cousins - submitted a few years ago. Jay said that those in the photo were cousins. What he didn't know was that I am a cousin to some of them, too. Most of you know that Florella Ireland was a Haddock descendant. Cousins - taken 1928 - From left to right: Doris & Morse Baker - daughter and son of Evert and Mabel (Owings) Baker; Laura Muriel Owings - d/o Vance and Florella (Ireland) Owings; Eral McCandless - s/o Leonard & Cressy (Owings) McCandless; and Pauline Owings - d/o Vance and Florella (Ireland) Owings. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Now that you are fully aware that I have have the goods on this subject you should be aware that I might say you are my cousin. Hear this, you can't say that I didn't warn you! LOL Have a wonderful 2012. Donna Cooper, Coordinator

The only Elgie Faye Garrett I have in my files was the daughter of James "Jim" Wesley Garrett and his wife Lucinda Adeline "Addie" Maloney Garrett. Elgie Faye Garrett was born at Eagle Rock, Barry Co., Mo. Elgie was born May 7, 1901 and died October 9, 1989. She married Roy Schierenberg Sep 6, 1918. They had three children Marie Adeline, Eugene Rayburn and Darrel Royl. Elgie Faye Garrett Schierenberg's brothers and sisters were: Ola Frances "May" Garrett, Dallas Olen Garrett, Lewis L. Garrett, Alvie Garrett, Herman Garrett, Thelma Garrett and Osie Pauline Garrett. My mother was named after this Elgie as "Addie" was her aunt and Elgie Garrett her cousin.
