Thank you so much for the offer. I need one from December 6, 1961 - that in-between timeframe - too late to be published, and too early to be in the newspaper archives. You are very kind to offer, and I appreciate it more than I can say. This is really a very helpful list.

Linda Murray, I would be glad to do a lookup in the book I have which covers 1874-1910. Just ask. Pamela Geisler Smith Gresham, OR

Does anyone know of someone in the Ripley area who could do an obituary lookup for me? I have not been able to make contact with a volunteer, so would be happy to pay someone to do a quick check of the local newspaper's archives on film. Thanks in advance for any guidance/suggestions, Linda Murray Marietta, Georgia Census/Cemetery/Marriage Lookup Volunteer

9-12-02 Dear Libbie, Thanks for the message about John P. Ponder. I have Thomas A. Ponder born between 1824-1825 and his son, Thomas A. Ponder, born December 1857. His children are Martha, Mary, Holloway, Albert, Thomas A., and Treasey. I don't know Thomas A. Ponder's parents. I don't have the brother's birth place (county) in TN nor marriage date for Thomas A. to Jane Powers? Do you have the approximate year of birth for John P. Ponder? I assume that Daniel Kinzie Ponder is the father of John P. Ponder. So, do you have any more information on John P. Ponder's father Daniel? It might lead me to his brother Thomas A. Ponder. If I can be of any help with any of your questions, please let me know. Thanks much.

Frances Murray Ponder had one sister unaccounted for. She was Lillie Murray Thornton, and it's possible she may have gone to Missouri, but I believe she went from Georgia to the Florence, South Carolina, area. The other siblings definitely never lived in Missouri. If your Murray was my missing Lillie, I'd love to hear from you. Linda in Georgia Census/Cemetery Lookup Volunteer Genealogy is my ONLY business. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doris Harlan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 11:35 PM Subject: Re: [MORIPLEY] Lookup Please/RipleyCem/Vol IV > > --- [email protected] wrote: > Linda cant help you any on the Ponders but wondered > where your Murrays are from.
