Surnames: Phalon, Phalen, Phallon, Daves, Tate Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yIB.2ACE/993.2 Message Board Post: Your names sounded familiar so I looked through my information and I do have them in my family tree. I also found another Phalon person in my information. Here is what I have: Fannie Elizabeth Phalon, born 1881, died 1967, married Albert M. Meriwether, son of Thomas Nicholas Meriwether and Mary Emily George. Fannie was the daughter of Patrick Phalon, born Ireland, and Alice Susannah Ketchey, born North Carolina. Fannie Elizabeth and Albert are both buried in Shute Cemetery in Carroll County, Mississippi. All of this information was obtained the Carroll County History Book in a family history written by Betty Meriwether. There could possibly be a connection between Susie Phallon (born 1880) and Fannie Elizabeth (born 1881). Their ages are close together. If they are sisters, Susie could be named after the mother, Alice Susannah. Have you tried to order a copy of Susie's death certificate from the State of MS? It might tell on there who her parents were. Albert and Fannie Elizabeth's daughter, Ollie Mae Meriwether, married my great-uncle, Robert Lee Tate. Robert Lee Tate's mother, Sarah Ida DAVES Tate, was a daughter of Hugh Dawson Daves (my gg-grandfather) by his second marriage. Offie Banister Daves was grandson of Hugh Dawson Daves through his first marriage. I tried to see if I could find any further information on this Phalon family on the internet, but could not. This book says that Betty Meriwether lives in Carroll County. Her husband's name is William Albert Meriwether. You might try to contact her to see if she any further information on this family. Good Luck. Let me know if I can be of further help. Amanda

My mother was Bertha (Bertie) Randall, daughter of John Thomas Randall and Lucy Maddox. My sister Lois Tyler Cockrell has corresponded with Teresa Bransby and has been trying to find information about the lineage. I remember my mother telling me I was named after her mother Mary Lucy. My mother (Bertie) was born 08/27/1915 and died 05/21/1976. My mother' s first married John Williamson (died 2 yrs after their marriage) and then married my father Dudley Brown Tyler. My father"s family was from the Vaiden/Montgomery-Carroll Co area also. Not sure if you will see this but just wanted to update. It turns out to be a small world---Teresa Bransby moved to my neighborhood about 18 months ago---just a few streets over. Imagine that.

Hello Janet, Although I have extensive information on my WOOD line from my g-grandfather, Jesse Lee WOOD, on down, I have never been able to make a direct connection to Charles and Rosa WOOD. I feel certain that there has to be a connection because there are just too many coincidences, although I guess I've just about given up. MacArthur LEWIS and the late Jack W. WOOD (who was in much the same situation) among others have tried to help. The Jesse L. WOOD b. 1802 in NC s/o of Charles & Rosa WOOD does not appear to be connected to my line. I thought that the Jesse Lee WOOD b. 1833 s/o William WOOD & Elizabeth "Bess" ESSARY might be my g-grandfather. However, after researching and identifying that whole line, I determined that even though he was in the 7th TN Cavalry Reg., there were actually two different individuals with the same name, Jesse Lee WOOD. I was able to obtain the complete military records for both to prove this. My G-grandfather, Rev./Dr. Jesse Lee WOOD was reportedly b. 1839 in Duck Hill, Carroll/Montgomery Co., MS but doesn't show up anywhere until age 21 yrs. in the 1860 Census in rural Dyer Co., TN. Nothing is known about how or when Jesse came to West TN or about his parents/siblings other than he claimed to have had three brothers (names unknown) that fought for the CSA in the War even though Jesse fought in the 7th TN Cavalry Reg., US Army. Jesse's parents were reportedly also born in MS. His father's name may possibly have been Jesse also and the names ELMORE, ESSARY and/or BRAZEAL(sp?) are supposedly in our ancestry but this is only hearsay. Below are the names of Jesse's children in the order of their birth. Perhaps they could have been named after a parent or sibling of Jesse which could provide a clue. Anna "Annie" WOOD (b. 1860/61 TN) Nathaniel Clark WOOD (b. 1868 TN) Charles Franklin WOOD (b. 1871 TN) (My Grandfather) Eugene Vernon WOOD (b. 1875 TN) Jesse L. Wood (b. 1878 MO) Henry Clay "Hal" WOOD (b. 1880 MO) Jessie Lee WOOD (F) (b. 1890 KS) Bessie M. WOOD (b. 1894 OR) I would be grateful for any ideas that you might have. Could you please send me a Descendant's Outline beginning with your William Oliver WOOD, Sr. on down. I have him being married twice (1-Lucinda ???? and 2-Fannie Loretta DUKE) and the names of some children but the dates don't seem correct. Thanks! Hope we can stay in touch!
