Ben one of the thing I have learned, not on these families, but I do know some are looking for Ellzey's but when you post a GEDCOM people will take that information, and put it on ancestry, with there name on, and they have NO connection to the line you have maybe one same only I have written to Ancestry asking about having a pedregee removed from one of my own, that someone just put theree fortenberry's were a common name in Copiah county At 05:34 PM 10/8/2001 -0600, Carole Proctor wrote: > >"Ben Bunting" >Samuel Floyd Fortenberry and Maude Easley are on www.Ancestry.com.

"Ben Bunting" Samuel Floyd Fortenberry and Maude Easley are on www.Ancestry.com. Parents for Samuel are Richard Alexander Fortenberry and Josephine Ellzey. This is a subscription web site so if you're not a member you won't be able to get the information. The two submitters emails are t-ambo@msn.com (has good pedigree on Fortenberry)and BudLz@aol.com (pedigree on Ellzey). I think this line of Fortenberrys is in the book " The Fortenberry Families of Southern Miss." by Adrianne Criminger. It's out of print and I don't have a copy, I only copied the pages for my line. If you can go to the Fortenberry mailing list on Rootsweb maybe someone will look up for you. If you have no luck with emailing the submitters or the mailing list, let me know and I'll try to get the info to you.

all- please think about this and consider doing it.---good info. while visiting a large cemetery in tyler texas this past week i saw something i had not seen done before. this was mostly on double headstones tho some were singles. on the backside of the tombstone was engraved the names of the children. wouldn't it be wonderful if they all were that way. these were very old up to very new gravestones and quite a number of them were that way. must be a tradition in that cemetery. we were in the old part, the new part being across the road and we did not go in new part which was quite large. my husband found one of his grandmas there in the older part.. it is a well kept cemetery being beside a current church. when i die my tombstone will have the name of my children engraved on the back. 100 years from now it may help one of my grandchildren as they trace my family line or yours. just something helpful for genealogist to think about and it looked pretty neat too. this may already being done in other cemeteries but i had not seen it before so it was new to me.. ruth wolfe wilson

This article was sent to me by a lady from another list. I believe that all of you will relate to both what she said and also to the following explanation of the genealogist's calling. We ARE the chosen! Allana Bosch "Now I have an answer for those who ask me why am I so interested in the genealogy. They tell me not to waste time on the past but I see it as finding out who I am and why I am the way I am. I am a story teller. I want my family to know where they came from and why." Jane Foley WE ARE THE CHOSEN "My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as it were by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us, "Tell our story." So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family. You would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones." (unknown)

Hello All, Does anyone have information about Sampson Jackson JOHNSON's parents? Sampson was born 20 Aug. 1823 in TN, died 7 Feb. 1914 in Hazlehurst, Copiah Co., MS, married first Sarah A.___ about 1842, married second Sarah Elizabeth FORTENBERRY, (daughter of Jeremiah Fortenberry) 4 May 1854 Copiah, MS. Sampson had one daughter and three sons by his first wife: Martha A., William J., George N. (or W.), and Hiram A. He had five daughters and three sons by his second wife: Nancy, Benjamin Franklin, Mary (or Mollie), Sarah (or Sallie E.), Laura Belle, Cordella E., Sampson Jackson, and Henry H. He is on the 1850 Copiah census, a saddler and lived in Gallatin. I did not find him on the 1860 MS census, but he is on 1870, 1880, 1900 (Hazlehurst) and 1910 (Hazlehurst), Copiah censuses. I have a copy of his death certificate which, unfortunately does not name his parents. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello All, I've been searching for years for the roots of this man, John Wesley Conroy, my mother-in-law's grandfather. There's some mystery surrounding his death which we've decided was sometime between 1900-1910 (re: 1910 census which showed his wife as widowed and head of the household). Here's what we know: JWC was b. 1847 (TN or RI as shown in some census') and d. in Crystal Springs, married Amelia Mangin b. 1850 LA and d. May 1910 Hazelhurst., in Oct 1882 in Crystal Springs. JWC rptdly came to America on the ship "Spirit of St. Mary", owned by his father. His parents returned to Liverpool, and JWC stayed behind in medical school in Providence RI (perhaps Brown Univ?) His parents then left Liverpool to return to the states but they never made it. No knowledge of when or what happened. JWC received a U.S. patent on a new washing machine design in July 1873. I found him in Terry MS then. A traditional phrase my mother-in-law remembers hearing often while growing up is: "Miss Amelia was just never the same after they came and took the old doc away." Perhaps when family said this they were just describing her grief when he died but my m-in-law has always felt that it was something more. Hoping one of you has a similar story in their family, Ronda Walker drwalk@multipro.com

Mother Fenbah must be Feriby Boling Case widow of John Case and Charity would be her daughter. Then Mother Rebecca, must be the mother of Wm R. Smith and BWITI must be SMITH. Who are Rebecca Smith and son Wm R Smith? Was Charity Case married to a McKinley before marrying Wm R. Smith and is Frances a child of that marriage? Charley Avry age 12, living with this family, is most likely the son of Victoria (Nee Unknown) Avery Rembert, 2nd wife of Gadsen Rembert. He is not listed with his mother and step father on this census. What is the relationship between Victoria Avery Rembert (Rambert) and this family? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Frances Faitt
