That one came back to me. Pat

Cousin Pat, There was only one message each on Mon., Tues., and Wed., and none yesterday, so I guess everybody is as busy as I am. Hopefully the list will get busy again and we'll find some more relatives. Maybe everybody is on Spring Break or busy doing Spring cleaning or taxes or their 2000 census forms. Ross Cameron >>> <Roulx@aol.com> 03/31 1:51 PM >>> 3/21/00 I haven't had any messages from this list for a long time. I also resubscribed yesterday, because I thought maybe I was taken off for some reason, and I didn't get any confirmation that I was subscribed. What's wrong? I miss you! Pat

3/21/00 I haven't had any messages from this list for a long time. I also resubscribed yesterday, because I thought maybe I was taken off for some reason, and I didn't get any confirmation that I was subscribed. What's wrong? I miss you! Pat

I wrote St. Mary's Catholic Church Pierce City, Mo. The Church secretary was very helpful. I got copies of all my aunts and uncles Confirmation and Baptismal records. I did make a donation to the Church as well. But she did not ask for anything. One of your relatives may have signed my grandparents' application for naturalization. If I can locate the application again I'll write you back. My grandfather migrated from Merke.

Does anyone know where I might find the lineage of General Sterling Price??? My Son Has asked me to research his fathers family. His father and I divorced 38 yrs ago and do not communicate. My ex mother-in-law requested that I name my son Sterling Price after her husband's (who was deceased) ancestor, General Sterling Price. I find a lot of sites for his military stuff, but no family info. All help appreciated. Elveta -- As the twig is bent, so grows the tree! Researching - George/Taylor/Muns/Fletcher/Guinn/Hollandsworth/Wallace/&/Others

I usually scan everything that comes to me via MOLAWREN, even though I don't know 99 percent of the names. Some of the messages are fun and interesting; others are educational; and on rare occasions, there's stuff a bit more personal, like this: My ggrandfather, Ed Adamson (the one who built the cabin now relocated next to the Jones Memorial on the north edge of Mt. Vernon), died in 1901. I have an obituary, written by an alleged old friend for an unknown newspaper--maybe Everton, Greenfield, Miller, Mt.Vernon--in which Ed's second wife, Mary C. (Mollie) Eaton, is identified as the daughter of Z. T. Eaton. She and Ed were married 26 Mar 1888 in Polk County, and I believe she was born in 1847. Is she the sister of your Margaret? By the way--the family lore is that two years after my ggrandmother--his first wife--died (11 Mar 1886), Ed put on his cleanest clothes, commented to someone (probably one of his sons), "Well, I'm goin' to Bolivar to git me a wife," hitched up his team and wagon, and left. Three days later, he came back with Molly!

In a message dated 3/24/00 8:13:26 PM !!!First Boot!!!, Janmim@aol.com writes: << Ferry Boats in 1777? >> That's right, there were specific locations, usually with a nearby public house, where people would come to get across the river, bay, etc. George Washington regularly used the ferry at Londontown to get to Annapolis where he liked to play the ponies at the racetrack there (when he wasn't involved in the govt.). Barbara

Barbara, Ferry Boats in 1777? Janet

Janet-- As a transplanted Lawrence Countian to Maryland, I know that regular ferry boats ran from the Eastern Shore to the main part of Maryland and Virginia. Until the railroads, water was the main transport mode. Barbara M.

Hello everyone, I found an interesting site while looking at a cousin's request for information on the Happy Hour Theater in So Greenfield, Dade Co Missouri ca 1920s, in which my gg uncle Presley Patterson Marsh was either involved or given complimentary notepads because he communicated with the pension authorities on them for his mother's Civil War widow's pension. Does anybody know anything about it? There was also one in Springfield, Greene Co MO, at the same time? A chain?? I ended up at a Greene Co History website that doesn't appear to be part of the official genweb network, but maintained by the Springfield-Greene Co Library. It has alot of information, brags endlessly on how wonderful the citizens of Springfield were/are (grin), etc. One of the more interesting features is that apparently in the early 1900s there was a series of old-timers dinners that included reminiscences of the "olden days" and early settlers. The length of these recorded reminiscences suggests that either the dinners went into the wee hours of the morning or they were later embellished in written form. Not only might you find some of your family there, but also will enjoy information on farmer's, city lives, etc. I would imagine that tall tales of their origins back east were passed on. For example in one story the mother of a Revolutionary War Soldier injured at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse NC rode all the way from Snow Hill MD to Guilford to nurse him and others. Now Snow Hill Maryland is on the Eastern Shore of MD. This would require a ride north to practically the Pennsylvania Border and then South. Perhaps she went west and then down the Old Wagon Road in the Shenandoah Valley like the Quakers migrated from PA to NC. At any rate quite a trek. Either her son required a very long convalescence (think how long it took her to get the information) or the tale was enhanced. She was obviously there because there is a statue erected in her honor according to the "orator". Here is the set of links for the oldtimer's reminiscences: http://207.160.233.22/sheproom/history/reminiscences/toc.html The Home page for history is here. Like alot of websites it appears to be adding all sorts of early histories (ie, entire books) for which the copyrights have expired. http://207.160.233.22/sheproom/history/index.html I don't think I've seen this site listed on the lists, and encourage you all to go look around...when you have a few spare hours. Enjoy! Janet Hunter

I cannot believe that I sent that post out saying that the Fortners made their way to Dade and Lawrence co TN. Below I have corrected it. I probably slipped up because some Bird researchers (as in Birds in Dade) are looking at Lawrence CoTN. Sorry about this. Janet Hello Everyone, A Fortner cousin (Greene CoTN>GA) recently put me in touch with a Missouri Fortner cousin who just sent me a passle of information that I thought would be of interest to all of you with ties to the Fortners. INcluded are copies of the family pages of James Fortner (s/o Jacob and Elizabeth Chambers) and Lydia Cotter's bible and a loose page of Lydia's siblings birthdates. (FYI, the bible rests in safe keeping with those California Fortner cousins that I always use as an example of "don't just think because they moved 40 years later they aren't your first cousins. She is Doris Fortner Zech, whose mother was William L. Newkirk who married Ann Mary Bell MARSH). The cousinwho sent me the information in question is Richard Holmes (parents Albert HOLMES and Mary MERRICK), a descendant of James and Lydia "Lydy"'s son Monroe Fortner. Even though our common Fortner ancestor is Jacob and Elizabeth (making us FOURTH cousins..unless his Merricks pan out to be from Milton D. MERRICK and Mary Casselia Choate), Richard grew up on the close farm in Dade Co to my mother's Charles Sexton & Lucy Marsh. My grandparents were sort of like second parents to him. (And he has also relayed some tales of some of my mother's semi-teenage delinquent activities!) The most interesting document, however, is a short "Biography and History" of the Fortner Family, which I will include in whole below. Based on the information provided it was written sometime between 1937 and 1947 based on death dates I have from Vicki Peterson (ie, after Samuel below died but before Wesley did). It is written by one of Elizabeth & Jacob's grandchildren of Greene Co TN...and it was written well enough after the fact that there are any number of omissions. Like other letters of its ilk the Fortner biography has enough omissions of children who died young, etc., to suggest that there could be others left out (ie, the Bible records for James Fortner and Lydia Cotter showed they had 16 children, but only 9 lived to any significant age and are mentioned in most accounts). It also says that my Betsy Ann (MINE..I'm not James andLydia) was the next oldest, and Greene Co TN census records don't bear that out. Order should be James, then Wm, then Elizabeth (Betsy Ann) AND, the thing that I liked the most was this statement is that it suggests how our Greene Co TN Fortner progenitor couple were known affectionately. (The unknown writer knows about Jacob and "a Chambers" and questions whether Jacob is the only child born to the union). He says of Jacob's parents "And the only names we ever heard was Shugar and Honey"...Isn't that wonderful!! Honey would be Priscilla Robinson/Robertson. The "h" is in Shugar's name. It also says that they came to East Tennessee from "South Carolina". This is the third such letter I have written at about the same time period purely for future genealogy purposes, where the folks in question came from North Carolina to TN in the early 1800s, but the author says South Carolina. Written by Sarah Elizabeth Tennessee "Tennie" Gay Hill, my g grandmother, one such letter with the spurious South Carolina background says I also descended from John Gay the poet, who was childless. The Fortner letter could be also infuriating because it never mentions Jacob's name or Elizabeth Chamber's names (James and Lydia's parents. He is Gran Father and she is "a Chambers". The Fortner letter also uses nicknames, which I also really like. I did not know that my gg grandmother Elizabeth A. Fortner, was known as "Betsy Ann". Pleasant is "Pless". Thomas A. is Alex. If any of you would like to have mailed copies (of copies) of the document below, two later summaries of it, or the Fortner and Cotter Bible information, please send me your address. I will try to transcribe the Bible information shortly, and post to the appropriate places. This is an exact transcription, with only the arbitrary insertion of paragraphs to make it more readable. <begin document> Biography And History of the Fortner Family and is authentic as far back as the writer has any knowledge Our Grait Grand Parrents emigrated from South Carolina to East Tennessee in a early day and your writer has no Knowledge or any way to secure and knowledge about them. Grait-Grand Father was of some unknown nationality and the only names we ever heard was Shugar and Honey. We do not no whether there was but one borned to this union or not. Gran Father married a Chambers And to this union was Borned Eight children. Five boys and three girls. The Boys was William, Jacob Lee, Plesant, James and John. girls Betsyan, Aley, Martha. All Eight of theas ar Dead. Williams first marriage was Peggy Hope. To this union was bornd two children George and William his Second woman Sarah Williams had one child Hatty. Brown of Greenville Tenn. And at this date is Still living but the other two have past away. BetsyAnn being the next oldest child married Thomas Marchell to this union was bornd Four children. Ruth, Martha, Mary, and Alex. All four of those ar past away. James married Lidy Cotter and to this union was bornd nine children Jacob, John, Monroe, William, James, Samuel, Elizabeth, Hannah, Mary. All Nine of those has past away. Jacob Lee married a Sarah Vaughn to this union was bornd four children three boysand one girl. David, Robert, Wesley and Rachel. Wesley being the only one living at this date. Pless married Jane Thompson and to this union was borned seven children. Molly, Bill, Loney, John, Lizie, Maggie, Sebran. John married Mary Gaught and to this union was borned six children Charley, Minnie, Martha, Debby, William, Lizzie Aley and Martha never married. <end document> Note that I show two more daughters, Mary and Harriet, from the 1850 Greene Co TN census. And son Leander Levi is "Lee" living with his wife,. Mary Glass' family. Of the above married children four, or their descendants are buried in either Dade or Lawrence Co MO. We aren't sure when they came. James and Lydia came in the 1850s. Elizabeth Fortner Marshell is thought to have come in the 1880s with her daughter Ruth Marshall, husband Joseph A. Sexton; possibly Jacob Lee, but at the least his son Wesley; Pleasant, wife Margaret and family. Vicki, John, anyone feel ready to chime in on the Fortners. Richard has sent me information on the descendants of James & Lydia's son Monroe if anyone is interested. Son Luther moved to San Diego Co CA at some point. We used to see them. My brother as a child wanted to call Luther "grandpa" being as how none of ours were living. My best, Janet Hunter
