Ms. Wafford, Hopefully by the time you read this e-mail you will have received the e-mail that I sent you off-line about what I was doing today regarding your family research on Henry Nash / Marsh. I did not want to go on-line with the information because in my opinion involved research and sharing of said information between individuals should not be posted on a public web site. I will leave it at that for now. I hope to be of some assistance to you in your research. Euel B. L. p.s. I edited your e-mail below a bit .. so not to overwhelm non-interested subscribers ----- Original Message ----- From: Joyce D Wafford To: mostfran@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2010 12:03 PM Subject: Re: [MOSTFRAN] Lookup for Henry MARSH Euel, I thank you for the offer. I will gladly take all of the help that I can get. First, not to confuse you, my Family line has used the surnames of NASH - MASH - and MARSH. I was raised a NASH, and through my research have found that the family surname was changed from MASH to NASH in the late 1860s. I am also finding that the surname was MARSH and the "R" was dropped in the late 1700s. I have found family members still to date using all three surnames. As you know I cannot find him in the 1860 Census Records. I do know that he married a second wife, Margaret Jane "Aunt Peggy" Moses. I do not have a marriage date for them, and do not know if they married in Tennessee or Missouri. They do have a daughter, Rebecca Anne, who was born December 25, 1854, in Monroe County, Tennessee. Margaret had been married previously as well, to a man by the name of McCRAVY. She had a son Joseph, and then the daughter Rebecca (who we know has used both the MARSH / MASH / NASH and the McCRAVY surnames). Son Joseph is buried in Adams Cemetery under the name of Joseph McCravy. He was called Deaf and Dumb Joe, in Bonne Terre, as he was Deaf and could not talk. I hope and pray that I have not thoroughly confused you. This is a very loving Family of mine, but had been a very hard family to trace. I have my family traced back to late 1635, when they came over from England and landed in Hingham Bay, Plymouth County, MA. I do have 4 DNA Testings proving that these are one and the same family line. These were all done through Family Tree DNA and are listed under the NASH Family Project. We are curently ordering the 5th Test that we should have results back on around Christmas, which will pull the 5th NASH Family Line into this one, and will finally prove the MARSH / NASH Connection in blood. Your help is Greatly Appreciated with this. Thank you. And in return, if I can ever help you in the California area with anything, just ask. God Bless, Joyce Nash-Wafford ograndma1@sbcglobal.net
