This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JKB.2ACI/1822.3.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: I have the same descendants as you,I would love what information that you have on Isaac Eubanks.

Paul, since this is only an abstract of surnames, I would assume you must go to the courthouse and read the books in person. Another possibility, if you live too far away to go in person, is to ask for assistance in the form of a pair of eyes that live close by to read for you. I have found some great people there, in person and online, who have helped me from here in TX. I have seen people on this list who will do look-ups in their cemetery books also. At _http://www.nchgs.org/probate/finalrecordprobate1.htm#t_ (http://www.nchgs.org/probate/finalrecordprobate1.htm#t) you don't have to open the "T" section, just scroll down. You will notice a WmThames also. And, at _http://www.nchgs.org/probate/probatebook4.htm_ (http://www.nchgs.org/probate/probatebook4.htm) you will find a Willie Thames in another book. I found these by using the "Search this site" feature at NCHGS.org. You said: "An interesting civil war story from our family is that the northern general was using one of the Thames houses as a headquarters of sorts and he used to have a relative child sit on his lap and play with her, then when he moved on he burned the Thames house" From the book, "The History of Newton Co, 1834-1894" there are several of Newton County's families mentioned in the section about the Civil War Raids of Gen Sherman. Among them are RC Payne, north of Union, Mr Reynolds east of Decatur, passed the Beulah church, and camped near SB Gilbert. Also LP Murrell in Scott county, and Wm Reynolds at Decatur. The book further states: "When the federal army approached a farm-house at which it proposed to stay all night, the work of destruction commenced at a terrible rate. The commanding general would take the dwelling-house for his headquarters, and he would usually place guards at the door and the family would feel protected. As a general thing no insult would be offered and whatever was on the inside of the house was safe. But it was impossible to restrain the soldiers, and a farmer had but little left after the army had gone. Any valuable houses---like churches, courthouses, hotels, etc, were burned. With over 1500 of the best men of the county in the field defending the confederacy at other points than at home, with the invading armies of the enemy, Newton Co felt the iron heel of war. Not a household, nor an individual but felt the terrible plagues and destructions and horrors of war." It makes our ancestors much more than just a birth, marriage and death date when we can learn of their daily lives, and the troubled times they lived through. I will be happy to pass along any tidbits I may find on your Temples and Thames. Fran Bolton

Thanks, Paul. I read the surname to be Felter. Checking again under Temples, I did find what appears to be A F Temples, wife Elizabeth, son James, dau Georgian. The problem lies in the poor quality of the 1860 census for Newton Co, and the hardships the indexer had in determining how to read the names. This A F Temples, I found by doing a search for all males in Newton Co, one age group at a time. He is indexed, on Heritage Quest census, as H F Temple. This shows we should never discount ANY possible match, no matter how remote it appears, until we have seen the actual census page and made our own judgement. However, there is no son-in-law in his household. Checking the NCHGS.org site, I found this; _http://www.nchgs.org/probate/finalrecordprobate1.htm_ (http://www.nchgs.org/probate/finalrecordprobate1.htm) Interesting that your Temples were in Sumpter Co AL, then Newton Co MS, then Van Zandt Co TX. That is the same migration route and settlement stops my Monroe family made, during the same years. As Newton Co was hard hit during the Civil War, my Monroes went on to Yalobusha Co afterwards, working with the RR, then spent "one crop year" in AR on their way to TX. Perhaps your Temples left for the same reason. Fran Bolton

You mention Newton Co. being hard hit during the Civil War. I have record that a brother of my husband's grandfather, who was named James William Greenlee, was born October 3, 1863, in AL. I asked my mother-in-law about this, thinking the location was a mistake. She answered me that they made their way to AL for his birth because of the war!! I don't have a county, just the state. They came back to Newton Co. and their last two children were born there. This uncle "Jim" and the grandfather of my husband, David Clarence, and their mother Eliza Winnifred Scoggin Greenlee, came to Texas before 1900. They settled in Stephens Co. My husband remembered seeing his great grandmother, Eliza Winnifred. She lived to be 95 years years old. She and many of the Greenlees and their kin are buried at Wayland Cemetery in Stephens Co., TX. Dortha McElroy Greenlee

Hi Fran, A little more background on this family. They are from Ga. My ggGdfather Thomas Taylor Thames and Sarah (Absolem daughter) were m in Randolph Co Ga in 1845/6. They moved to Barbour co Al for a couple of years then to Sumter Co AL where they were in 1850 census. More of the family was listed there including the Son-in-Law. Absolem and family were following their Daughter's new family to AL then to Newton Co MS. After the civil war in 1867, the Thames and four of the Temples daughters moved to Van Zandt Co Tx. But there is no record of the parents and the boys going to Tx. I lost them and would like to find what happened to them. The court minutes sounds really interesting but can not seem to open up the "T" to see what it says. I had not seen that document before and now am very curious. How do I get to see the file on AF Temples and the Thames that is listed? It may contain a lead for the Temples. An interesting civil war story from our family is that the northern general was using one of the Thames houses as a headquarters of sorts and he used to have a relative child sit on his lap and play with her, then when he moved on he burned the Thames house. Any help on the Temples or Thames would be appreciated. Paul Thames

Hi Fran, thanks for responding. They were listed under Temples with Absolem as the head of family.
