Thank you, Connie, Happy Holidays to all, Kaye

Kaye, I haven't really gotten that far back just yet and am having a bit of trouble searching in Greene County. I think it must be the holiday season maybe. There are several possible sisters to my Boyd but none with that name yet. So far Monroe and Polk counties in Tennessee seem to be the spots though. I will be sure to keep you in mind if I find anything though. Connie kaye <ksmith21@dc.rr.com> wrote: Connie, I am researching Fidelia A. Woods 5-6-1828 Tenn who married John Alexander Montgomery.

Randy, here is another little wrinkle in the Sink Genealogy that I have worked on for some time now, to no avail. Another researcher said Susan Ellen's mother was a Lucinda Moffett. I have a copy of Susan's death certificate which is witnessed and signed by Jeff Daughtery, a family member through Stephen's line, showing her mother as Lucinda Moffett, Va., with no further information. This information had been corrected from "don't know" to Lucinda Moffett. The researcher also said this information was verified by cousins Pete Amos and Lucy Bolin. Lucinda is as hard to find as the parents of Thomas Threet Gooch.

Mary Ann Sink (March 19, 1827, Franklin Co., VA-June 8, 1908, Missouri) married John B. Griffin Sept. 6, 1844 in Pokagon Township, Cass Co., MI. She was the daughter of David William Sink, the tanner who owned Davey's Jerk near Nixa, and his second wife, Delilah Dillon. The Griffins are found in Porter Township in 1850, 1860 and 1870. Please note that while a previous reading of stones at Griffin Cemetery indicated Mary Ann died in 1880, other research shows a date in 1908 although she was not in Christian Co. in 1900. The Griffin Cemetery posting also shows John died in 1870, but he was living in Scott Township, Taney Co. with Mary and daughter Callie (b. 1872) in 1880. Mary Ann was the sister of Susan Ellen Sink, the second wife of the Rev. James Wright Edwards of Porter Township and Riverdale; Capt. Stephen Sink who married Sarah Victoria Herndon; Frances Ann Sink, who married John Hunt of Greene and Taney Cos.; Martha J. Sink who married William Holman Herndon as his third wife; and Nathaniel F. Sink, who married Mary Elizabeth McCaslin -- one of the vast clan of Kenamore descendants who came to Christian Co. from Maury Co., TN. After the Civil War, much of the Sink family moved south -- at least temporarily -- and Nathaniel died in Newton Co., AR. Mary Ann was also the sister of Jesse Sink, who traveled from Cass Co., MI back to Franklin Co., VA to marry Julia Ann Wray in 1837. Julia was the daughter of Chesley Wray and a cousin to John Wray, who emigrated from Franklin Co., VA to Indiana/Ohio to Taney Co. (Keep in mind that Cass Co., MI is on the Indiana border.) While Jesse and Julia eventually settled and died in Daviess Co. in northern Missouri, the Wray-Sink connection may have helped account for the fact that two of John Wray's daughters married McConnell family in-laws from Porter Township. Mary Ann and Nancy Jane Wray were half-sisters, the daughters of John Wray by his first and second wives. Mary Ann married Samuel M. Chaffin of early Nixa after his first wife, Elizabeth Tennessee McConnell, died during the Civil War. Nancy Jane married George Washington Butler after her first husband (George Warren) and his first wife (Catherine Jane McConnell, Elizabeth's sister) also died during the Civil War. John Wray never lived in Christian Co. (as far as I can tell), but the connections to the Sinks may have accounted for visits that helped promote the marriages. Both Butler and Chaffin (as well as the McConnells) lived near the Sink tanyard. I also found another item in the Cass Co., MI records that helps sort out the Sink family. David the tanner was married three times -- to Asenath Arthur in 1807, to Delilah Dillon in 1813 and, it was believed, Wealthy Ann Hartwell or Harwell around 1830, all in or near Franklin Co., VA. (Many Virginia families migrated to Michigan and the Northwest Territories after 1800.) However, the Cass Co. records show David Sink married Wealthy there on Feb. 15, 1838. While she was born in Virginia and a Hartwell family lived in the Cass Co. area c. 1840, her parentage is still unclear. The marriage date, however, shifts several children from Wealthy to Delilah Dillon, including Susan Sink Edwards. Only Nathaniel F. Sink and possibly Daniel Sink (who died young) would have been Wealthy's children. The youngest child of Delilah Dillon Sink was Samuel Preston Sink (January 1837, Cass Co., MI-March 31, 1907, Wynnewood, OK). She may have died in childbirth. The 1860 and 1870 censuses leave his wife's name almost indecipherable, but it was apparently Mildred Hunt (1839, Centralia, IL) d/o James Hunt and Lucretia Minor of VA and IL. Although Samuel and Mildred Hunt Sink lived in Porter Township in 1860 and 1870, they moved to Swan Creek, Taney Co. by 1880 (where her name is discernible as Mildred/Millie). But they soon went to Sherman, Grayson Co., TX where their eldest daughters were married in 1882. They quickly were joined there by members of the Edwards family -- principally Martin Luther Edwards, the son of the Rev. James Wright Edwards and step-son of Susan Ellen Sink. Martin Edwards had been divorced from first wife Martha Tennessee McConnell in 1876, married his sister-in-law Harriett Jane Herndon Edwards (wife of his brother Irvin) and fled to Grayson Co.

thank you for the help. I do see BB with 1st wife Mary Jane Persinger but I am looking for info with 2nd wife Catherine Shartzer. All of them came from Roanoke, Va.

Do you have any good site for The Brown's of Clinton co, and also these? We are specially looking for info on Berryman Brown and his parents Thomas Brown and Eliz. Armstrong. Thank you, Nancy Brown Espina

I haven't encountered any record of him living in Christian COunty. He may have. I just don't have that information. Most of the records say he died and is buried in Lutie, Ozark County, Missouri. There are several researchers on World Connect. http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ Just go to advance search, put in his name and his parents' name. If you don't put in enough identifying information, you'll have to wade through all the other people with that name. If you look at the Post'Em's there will be contact information for other descendants. They may or may not have more information than you do.

Several Woods families in Christian County appear to be unrelated to each other. No one submitted a story on any of them for the last book. Your location mentioned might be that the family of Boyd Montgomery Woods 17 Jul 1828 - 12 Dec 1863 and his wife Elizabeth (McDaniel) Woods 25 Dec 1830 - 19 Jun 1899. Among the better known famiily members are Shrilda Jane (Bostic) Woods 5 May 1890 - 5 Feb 1996 and her son who founded the Woods Supermarkets. Shrilda was married to Chester Elmer Woods 2 Jan 1885 - 4 Aug 1969, son of Franz Siegle "Siggie & Sarah (Ruffin) Woods. Siggie was a son of Boyd & ELizabeth. Several generations of that family are buried at Pembina Cemetery, just south of the Greene County line. Boyd is believed by some to be the son of John and Dollie Woods of Polk County, Tennessee.

I use to work for Woods supermarket when we lived in Sedalia Missouri and got to know them ok. I told her one day we were probably related, now with your help I know how :-) I will have to see if I can get in touch with her again. I worked there for 3 years and had to quit because of cancer, then we moved a few years ago but we still go to Columbia ever 6 months for my checkups. How funny!

I was also interested if copies of original history were still available. I've never gotten to see it, so don't know what information pertaining to my ancestors is in it, but I could furnish information on Wills, Waggoner, Shelton and Cash families for the new one. Dorothy Shelton McCurdy
