Hi listers and Marlene I am thinking that this is the same William Petty that married Elizabeth Coffey-- Perhaps Melinda died and he remarried-- It seems strange that Elizabeth Coffey was related to Daniel Boone and this William Petty was living only about 2 miles from where the Boones Lived. She did sign Deed with a Mark that she was his Wife Nathan Boone buildt a home on the Femme Osage Creek in 1812-- Daniel died there while visting in 1821 . If you look on Mo Map you can judge distance from Osage and Gasconade co. Mo The only thing That I know is that this William Petty bought a land patent for $50.00 (40 acreas). He sold the land to a family named Watson and that was about 1839---- His wife Melinda must have died and if they had children maybe they also died-- This fits in with the story that he married Elizabeth Coffey in 1840.- Maybe why he sold and moved! I lived on that farm for 40 years 1944 until 1984 and lived in that house. There is a cem. at the town of Schluersburg Mo-- that is where this is located-- but there was no Petty buried-- may have been unmarked.this William seems to fit in a proper age for the William that married Elizabeth Coffey-- Do you know any thing about this Coffey Family---- Did she have a sister named Melinda?? Thanks Joyce

I am looking for info on James Anvil Brown in Taney and In Sharp County, Arkansas listed as Andrew J. Brown. Thanks Brenda

Geez - no wonder we all LOVE you so much!!! You're great Vonda! Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html November is Native American Indian Heritage Month

Bonnie, was your James Lafayette Ellison the Fate Ellison that lived in the Protem/Cedar Creek area? He was a friend of my great grandfather, George Stacey. Ingrid

Well, I see some good has came out of the questions. This is a "good thing". Also there are BROWNS listed on the rolls connected somehow to the Brittains. I have not gotten to that information but I do believe that I have the roll numbers for those Browns.....and "possibly" the Elkhair name too.

BRENDA .please e-mail me . i have a lot of info that i will gladly share do you have a Matlock that married Dovie Austin in boone co ark.? [email protected]

Dolores , thanks for the info. I really appreciate the help. I would like to see what you have on the Brittains and allied families Parton and Parks especially. Are you able to make a genealogy report on these families. Also the Marlers are of interest to me. Also do you have Browns in Taney? I keep thinking we will connect even closer when I see some of your querys. I have as much family in Taney and Boone as you seem to have but no close relationship yet. I also love old photos of family. I don't have a lot of really old ones, but I have gotten a couple recently from another Boone County line. My husband scanned the paper copy and it is as good as if taken from the acrtual picture. Do you correspond with any Parton lines? Don't mean to bother you too much, but I have not been at this long and I am determined to find more info on some of my lines and keep hoping to run into the right allied line for the info. I was raised until five in Taney and Boone The Matlocks, Cokers, Arnolds Andrews, Cheeks, Springers, Carpenters, Blackwells, Birdwells, Hankins are just some of the lines in the area. My Matlocks, Arnolds, Andrews, Springers, Cheeks,are buried in Omaha and still have family there.Brenda

I too have Thurman's in my line. They originally came from TN a lot from Overton Co. As the families moved this direction a few stopped off in Taney Co. while others continued on to Jasper Co. Allen Thurman being one of the family, and there was a Milton. Would love to exchange Thurman information if either of these names fall into you line anywhere. I know there were some of the families that I do not have the names of. Judy [email protected] wrote: > Oh OK.

Oh OK. Daniel Thurman's daughter Cintha married my Great Grandfather James Lafayette Ellison, I can do better than this if you want the whole of my Thurmans let me know, and give me your snail mail address too, still don't know how to send over the e-mail, My address: Bonnie Schwab 5426 W.

In the mean time will print out my Thurman families and will send those to your snail mail address, so glad we may be able to help each other. Bonnie

I would like to see replies on the lists also, but I thought it was protocol to start privatizing the mail after connecting to a person. What does list Mom say on the subject?

I am upset. Oh, not at the lists, or anything like that. But all morning, ever since I read today's Springfield paper, my innards have been uptight and I have a headache. Here's the article. http://www.springfieldnews-leader.com/webextra/ip112800.html In it, Taney county and the city of Branson's planning people talk about how there's no one theme, nothing to pull the area together as a whole. Hello...? I don't know how many of you have visited Branson. Yes, you know I'm big on the Ozarks and what makes us special, but Branson isn't necessarily a part of the Ozarks anymore. When someone can build the ugliest tower in the world on top of Inspiration Point (where Wright wrote "The Shepherd of the Hills", recommended reading for anyone who had ancestors in the White River Valley around 1900); a "chateau" (isn't that French?) multi-story pink hotel on a bluff overlooking Table Rock Lake that doesn't even pretend to be Ozarks-oriented; when these things are allowed to happen, then no, we don't have a theme. We have a lack of respect for what made Branson possible-our background, our ancestors and our culture. Well, I wrote a short and not-so-sweet letter to the editor. Because we had a theme until that stuff started happening during the boom of the early 1990s. Pioneer, rustic, hillbilly, simple, easy, blend into the surroundings, nothing too ostentatious, nothing obviously European; except possibly the Tudor style of downtown Hollister. Boy. I might get some nasty mail. I finished a book by Ernie Deane last night called "Ozarks Country". Ernie Deane was a newspaper columnist, first for the "Arkansas Traveler" then for the Springdale (AR) Daily News. This book was a collection of various columns. It must have hit me hard, for Greg hollered this morning--asking what I'd dreamed about, and that I'd kicked him half the night. He's never done that before. The book was $7 at the Ozarks Mountaineer bookshop in Kirbyville. I would recommend it to anyone interested not only in genealogy, but the White River Valley and its history. (While I can't seem to keep genealogy separate from historical stuff, like preservation, some folks can.) This getting mad stuff is causing me to go gray. <BG> Vonda ListMom for MOTaney and MO-AR-WRV http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/

I would like to see Taney in the subject line for all the reasons mentioned before and it helps me if Taney mail goes to "Taney" in my Inbox Assistant. LoVella Truhitte Moore

Barb, Done did. Someone has pointed out that if you are posing a genealogical question, to put the "who, what, when" stuff in the subject line. Which is why I try to keep names out of my titles when I'm "editorializing" or pontificating on something, unless there's something concerning someone's particular research. Otherwise, if you don't want to read my hollering, <BG>, you can delete it and not worry about it. Vonda ListMom

just talked to the greatgrandaughter of JIM . have pictures of jim and ednas children i dont have a scanner so send me your snail address and will send you copies i meant how do you connect to the thurmans you had already told me your parton connection dolores

I REALLY like that idea too. ~gina~ Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html November is Native American Indian Heritage Month

An interesting thing I have noticed is that I get the Digest of the postings, and when I hit reply it always goes to the list! (Like I just did to write this!) Maybe you want to : UNSUBSCRIBE from [email protected] and SUBSCRIBE to [email protected] I rather like getting the posts in one or two long Emails in a day - rather than SEVERAL separate Emails in a day. Also it clearly says in the subject line that it is the MOTANEY-D Digest. Just a thought.... Barbara Logan

Hey, Good Mornin' to ya! On the Taney list, the subject of the subject line has come up. As listowner, I had/have the option of either allowing or disallowing the subject line. It is recommended by many of the busier list owners to not have the subject line--for various reasons--I don't particularly care one way or 't'other. We'll try it with the subject lines on both for a time. However, I already have the settings for "Reply To" set to have your replies to posts to return to the lists, not the individual (I might mention, against the suggestion of Rootsweb; again, that's where my own judgement on what's best for my lists came into play). Folks, this is where your options on reply come into play. I've got Outlook for a mailing program; it took some getting used to after Compuserve, but I managed to get used to it. On both Outlook and Compuserve, there are/were 2 reply buttons: 1) Reply to, for the individual, and 2) Reply to All. Different email programs send mail different ways--some folks post to the list, and you see their name and individual addys instead of "from MOTANEY" or "from MO-AR-WRV". I don't know the technical jargon for that, and I don't know that settings for that option can be changed. It is the email programs, not the lists, that cause that. I do know that the default for replies is back to the lists, but if you see the person's name instead of the list name in where it comes from, your reply is going to go to the individual, IF you hit "reply to". If you click on "Reply to All", it will go both to the individual and to the list. If you want to reply to the individual, click "Reply to". If you want to post your reply to the list, click "Reply to All". Of course, that means the person you're replying to is likely to get 2 copies, but that's a whole different set of problems, one I can't fix. If you don't want that person to get 2 copies, you can delete their addy in your reply. The way my mail is set up, I can't hit either button, which is why you seldom see "Re:" in my replies to querys/posts (I have to type it in). I have to do a whole new email, or it sits in my outbox forever--something to do with the fact that my main addy is "copper turtle" and our server is "peoplepc". I can't use either of my reply buttons. That also explains why I sometimes forget if I've replied to someone in response to a certain email, because I have no record of it. If you've not had any problems with your reply method, continue using it. If you have had problems with "reply" in regards to the list, find and click on "reply to all", okay? If you understand technical jargon and want to know why Rootsweb discourages having the default replies to the list, you can visit: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html Personally, it was full of big words and I wasn't too clear on all the points for and against, but it is the argurment Rootsweb uses.
