Surnames: Forrester, Fetters, Northrup, Wishart, Mulch Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RMB.2ACE/537 Message Board Post: William Forrester married Narcissus VanZant ca 1833 in Franklin Co., TN. William was born in KY, I believe Barren Co., but have not been able to verify. One of their daughters was Mary Jane (AKA Polly) who married John Fetters. They are my gg-grandparents. Narcissus and William are buried in Forrester Cemetery (along w/Northrups). Polly and John Fetters are buried in Ft. Donaldson (along w/Northrups). My interest is getting more data on William Forrester to verify his lineage. I have checked out his Will for coat tail relatives, but only his wife and children are listed. I know he was a slave holder and he was mentioned in John Fetters Autobiography. There are still Forrester descendants in Scotland Co. and I was hoping that there may be a family bible and other documents in their possession that could help. There is also a possibility that George Forrester is a relative of William's. His wife's family was very well established and properous in Franklin Co., TN. This begs th! e question why move to SC and end up living by George Forrester, who was an early settler in SC? Any input is appreciated

ROOD-Rowe, was the daughter of one Foreman/Forman BOURN/BOURNE and Frances Marian HALL who would marry 18 Mar 1857, in Scotland County I believe, William ROOD. Perhaps Mr. BOURN died before he could marry Frances. I've noted the surname in Scotland County, and your post interests me. Do you have any link to this man? Also, a niece of my maternal great-great-grandmother married one Joe HERRING. She was Beatrice WEBSTER (b 1877 d 1907) and she is buried in Webster Cemetery, Fabius Township, Schuyler Co., MO, west of Downing. Beatrice and Joe had two known children, i.e., Rose and Nelson. Nelson married a Mildred. Do you have any information about this family? I love this hobby, it's fascinating, you know so well. I would be happy to share more information. Thanks fo reading.

Trish: I don't have anything more on William A. Smith. William Smith, father of Jefferson B., was b. 20 Nov 1801, eastern shores of MD, d. 28 April 1879 near Memphis, MO, bur. Buskirk Cemetery, Scotland Co., MO. His wife Sarah O. (maiden name unknown) was b. about 26 May 1804, MD, d. 10 Dec 1872, bur. Buskirk Cemetery. Nancy B., widow of Jefferson B. Smith, guardian of William A. and Caroline Smith, was listed in the probate record of William Smith. Others named were William D. Smith, Margaret H. Baker, James T. Smith, Edward J. Smith, Alexander C. Smith, and Albert T. Smith. Robert T. Smith, b. ca. 1847, was listed in the William & Sarah Smith household in the 1850 census but was not in the 1860 and was not mentioned in the probate record. I hope this will be some help to you.

Excuse me for jumping in here, but maybe this will help someone. Nancy B. Smith, nee Baker, was the wife of Jefferson B. Smith, son of William and Sarah O. Smith. Jefferson died 20 Sept 1872, buried Buskirk Cem., Scotland Co., MO. Children of Jefferson and Nancy B. Smith were Edward T., Mary E., Sarah E., James M., William A., and Caroline. Sorry I don't have anything on Sarah Margaret Smith or Humphrey Elias Smith. Because there are three separate Smith lines in our family, I try to collect as much Smith information as I can, in an effort to try to keep them all straight. I think it's a hopeless task.

The Lawn Ridge church is still there (as far as I know), and the cemetery is still very well cared for. There is a book called "Community at Large" by the late Ellen Davison that pertains to the Lawn Ridge community and has a lot of information on the organization of the church and the people in the area. There are several references to Elder Russell.

The only thing new I have to add is that I received a copy of my William A. Smith's marriage license to Alcinda Mauller. On it was written that consent for the marriage was given by Nancy B. Smith. (((Possibly William's mother))) I checked the plat maps for her and found her listed as owning land as early as 1878 in Jefferson Twp, Scotland co. But the next date back was someone else. Also right next to her land was a large parcel of land belonging to a William S. Smith Sr. I thought it might be some kind of link. Let me know if you have come up with anything new.
