TO EVERYONE: Beware I bought a book which i thought was going to be about my family.The firist part of the book is all Christys work that was taken from her site,the rest of the bookcalled(MOYERS)is mostly fiction not fact.I was very disappointed and feel i was cheated not just out of my money but finding my family.I pray that this dosen't happen to someone else,so please be careful. TINA

Hi Helen, and Christy, The information may be there, but finding it is not easy. When I went there were college kids volunteering and none of them had any idea what I was taking about or where to direct me. I finally gave up and left without finding anything. Remember, I live in Fort Worth.

Chrystie and list, here is some of what I have researched on the church histories. Re: Rev. Samuel DOAK, Jr. From, Religion in Tennessee 1777-1945, Norton, Herman A., Univ. of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, 1981. p. 4 " ....Doak came into Tennessee territory. He arrived with impressive credentials. A program of classical study in the school that eventually became Washington and Lee University had been followed by two years at Princeton and the award of a baccalaureate degree in 1775. Teaching two years as a member of the faculty at Hamden-Sydney College, Doak had simultaneously studied theology under the guidance of the college president, the Reverend John Blair Smith. He also had a ministerial apprenticeship before receiving his license at age twenty-eight form the Hanover Presbytery, which extended its boundaries to the East Tennessee region. "Doak settled and preached initially in what is now Sullivan County (TN). Stationing himself between the forks of the Holston and Watauga rivers, he spent two years moving among the settlers providing religious leadership. In 1780, he moved to the Salem settlement in present-day Washington County (TN). He decided on the relocation, according to tradition, after an impressive experience with some settlers who were cutting trees. He had been riding through the forest when he met the men. Learning his identity, they requested he delay his journey and preach to as many people as could be assembled immediately. With the grove as a sanctuary and his horse a pulpit, he delivered as sermon. Deeply moved, the settlers begged him to come and live among them. Doak and his small family soon became Salem residents. Once settled, the young minister led in the erection of a log structure to house the congregation, the first Presbyterian church building in Tennessee. "The energetic Doak was not only a good pastor but an aggressive evangelist as well. In the same year that the congregation in Salem was constituted, he established gatherings at New Providence, Carter's Valley, and Mount Bethel. Additionally, he had a hand in organizing worshipers at Upper Concord, New Bethel, and Hebron, all in East Tennessee. "......Equally significant, graduates of Doak's schools, including his two sons, John and Samuel, took the lead in establishing Presbyterian congregations and schools." End of quote. Note: Washington and Lee University is in Lexington, Rockbridge Co. VA, and Hamden-Sydney College (founded 1776) is in Prince Edward County, closer to Richmond VA. There is nothing in Norton's book about Samuel Doak in New River area of VA, I am thinking of Reedy Creek, Wythe county..., but then his subject is religion in Tennessee. I have found records of Samual Doak land grants on Reed(y) Creek. Check out this site for information about the founding of the church in southwest Virginia. It is mostly about the Presbyterians, but has a lot of information about the early Lutheran congregations too. http://www.ls.net/~newriver/va/abpres1.htm HISTORY OF ABINGDON PRESBYTERY Goodridge A. Wilson, Jr. Excerpts: "The next notice of an organized congregation appears in the minutes of Hanover Presbytery as of April 10, 1771, when the Rev. Charles Cummings reported that he had carried out the instructions given him at the previous fall meeting of Presbytery to tour the western vacancies and to go as far as the Royal Oak on Holston. On this tour he organized the Big Spring congregation on the headwaters of Holston, with George Adams, Robert Buchanan, Richard Higgins, and Alexander Neilly as elders. Robert Buchanan's house still stands beside a very large spring, one of the head springs of the Middle Fork of Holston, in Smyth county, near the Wythe line, a few miles west of Rural Retreat, and it is a reasonable supposition that the Big Spring congregation was formed in this house and named for this spring. The name Big Spring does not appear again in the minutes, but shortly afterwards the name of Salem Church on Reed Creek begins to appear and frequently occurs. The Doaks, who lived in Black Lick Valley, are named in connection with Salem on Reed Creek, and the Black Lick branch is a fork of Reed Creek. It is known that a very 01(1 log Presbyterian church stood along that branch for many years. From which I infer that the Big Spring congregation was organized by Rev. Charles Cummings in 1771 in the home of Robert Buchanan; that the congregation decided to build their meeting house some six or seven miles to the northeast on Black Lick, and changed the name to Salem. If so, this church was allowed to die, was later revived as the Black Lick Church, and is now functioning as the Rural Retreat Church. At the next spring meeting of Presbytery, in 1772, a call for the pastoral services of Rev. James Campbell was presented from the Sinking Spring and Ebbing Spring congregations on Holston. These congregations appear to have been organized independently about 1771, as no record appears in the minutes of any official of the Presbytery being sent to aid in their organization. Their representatives went to Presbytery in the spring of 1772 to petition for supplies and to put in their call for Rev, James Campbell. Mr. Campbell, a promising and very popular young minister, had several calls proffered him at this time. He did not accept any of them, and shortly afterwards notice of his untimely death appears in the minutes. At the next meeting of Hanover Presbytery, in June 1773, these congregations presented a call for the Rev. Charles Cummings, which he accepted, and Presbytery appointed Rev, John Brown to install him. Thus the Sinking Spring and Ebbing Spring churches were the first to call a pastor, and the Rev. Charles Cummings became the first settled pastor west of the Alleghany Mountains. The next pastor to come was the Rev. Samuel Doak, who in. 1778 crossed the Alleghanies with a library on pack horses to become pastor of several churches in Tennessee and to found Washington College, the first seat of higher learning on Mississippi waters." (End of quote) The Reed(y) Creek Wythe Co. VA connection sounds interesting to me. My Lindseys and Myers were both in that New River area, and is likely where those families connected, if not in PA. Moses Lindsey being Scots-Irish, most likely Presbyterian, married Leticia daughter of George Breckenridge and Ann Doak, and their son Moses Jr, married Catharine Mires by Regular Baptist minister John Jones Jr. in Washington Co. VA, 1813. I suspect, but have not proven, Catharine Mires/Myers is from the St. Pauls German Lutheran congregation near Rural Retreat, Wythe County VA., same community as the Doak's Presbyterian congregation. I find this history of the churches to provide not only genealogy clues, but also important insights into the lives of these people. Fascinating.

Well, I find many times related folks use the same names in their lines, so you have lots of cousins with the same names, born within a few years of each other, and it can get very confusing.

Hi gang, Listen, someone tipped me off here the last two day - listen because this is very important. A certain someone took all the work on my website and is selling it in book form for 40 dollars out here on rootsweb. DO NOT BUY IT. You can get the work off my website for free. I am going to do a search right now for this person - UGH! I do all of this freely, I just don't want any of you to buy the book and blow 40 bucks. It's a rip-off. Be very wary and leary out here. Only buy books from "historical societies" and "onlinebook stores". And stay away from ebay. I sold a book, just for the heck of it to give it a try, abt 2 months ago; I mailed it to the lady and just found out that she's claiming she never received it, I have the sent receipt - and "billpoint" allowed her to get her money back from my VISA, all without my "ok".

Hi Linda, I think I was asleep when I sent you the info on Jacob and Abraham. Sorry. Jacob was born around 1730-1740 in Palatine area Germany, and died 1808 in Jackson Co., Georgia. Abraham was born 1760-1765, in Philadelphia, Pa. and died around 1840 in Walker County, Alabama. Bobbye

Hi Linda, Jacob was probably born around 1730-1749, in the Palatine area of Germany (HRE) and died 1808, in Jackson Co., Ga. Abraham was born around 1790, Philadelphia, Pa., and died aroun 1840 in Walker Co., Alabama. John F. Myers lived in Floydada, Texas in the 1940s. He wrote, A Short History of A Group of The Myers Family, June 1942, Floydada, Texas. His little ten pages has been the starting point for many people researching theJacob Myers family.

Chrystie, Here goes My mother is a LINDSEY, d/o James Ahira LINDSEY (1890-1958), s/o James Alexander LINDSEY (b 1850 Johnson Co. TN, moved to AL, IO, OK, d. Kingfisher OK 1935, m. (2) Emogene GAY (b 1850 Wyoming Co. PA, moved to IO, OK, d. Oklahoma City, OK 1940. James Alexander is s/o David LINDSEY (b 1813 VA, moved to AL,IO, d 1868 IO, m. Barbara JOHNSON (his first cousin) (b 1817 Carter>Johnson Co. TN, moved to AL>IO, d. 1889 IO). David Lindsey is s/o Moses LINDSEY, Jr. (b ca 1788 VA, lived Washington Co. VA, service in War of 1812, d. after 1860 census, m Catharine MIRES (see below). Moses LINDSEY Jr. is s/o Moses LINDSEY, Sr. (b ?, d before 1812, when Moses Jr. and Catharine were listed as heirs on a Washington Co. VA deed). I believe and would like like to prove more than circumstatially that Moses Sr. is the Moses LINDSEY who m Leticia BRECKENRIDGE 1785 Montgomery Co. VA. Leticia BRECKENRIGE is d/o George BRECKENRIDGE and Ann DOAK.... more available in that line. Ann DOAK is 1st cousin to Rev. Samuel DOAK, the Presbyterian minister who pioneered in Tennessee. My most wanted UNK ancestors are the parents of Catharine MIRES who married Moses LINDSEY in Washington Co. VA Sep 5, 1813 at Rush Creek Primitive Baptist Church near Glade Spring (Lodi). Catharine would have been born Circa 1792-7 anywhere from Germany to PA to VA or NC, and is on Washington Co. VA. census up to 1860. Family legend has it that Catharine was an indentured servant on Lindsey land (which I have found out since was in probably in Montgomery Co. VA). I would like to see if there are any court records for her indenture. She married the son of her employer. One theory I have is that she may be the daughter of Peter and Catherine MOYERS, and may be the Catherina baptized at St. Pauls Lutheran Church, Rural Retreat, Montgomery>Wythe Co. VA on Apr 6, 1797 - born Oct 1796 possibly in NC or VA. I found this from: http://www.naxs.com/people/cameron/PAULBP.HTM (Check out this site if you have any Moyers or other German Lutherans who may have been in the New River area of Virginia or NC after 1790.) There are links to a few other early German Lutheran churches in the same area. The interesting fact about this church for me is that there are both Lindsey and Myers burials there from (I think) Civil war times. Don?t know of any connection, these were of later generations than my Lindseys and Myers. Just curious. (I wish that all the churches with historical birth, baptism, marriage, and burial records plus lists of elders, minutes of meetings would post them on such a wonderful web site. Could generate donations for them from descendents joyous at finding an ancestor, don?t you think?) Anyway, there it is.... There may be more clues to your line through the church history, and migration patterns. I will send the research I have done on Samuel Doak and the early Presbyterian Church. I don't know how the Sevier Co. TN Lindsey's connect to mine, but possibly they do. Any ideas on my Catharine?
