WILLIAM ANDERSON BARKER b 18 July 1853 2. SARAH BARKER b 18 July 1853 3. SOPHRONIA BARKER 4. WILLIAM BARKER 5. WILLIS A. BARKER 1. WILLIAM ANDERSON BARKER b 1853 died 14 Feb 1934 Was married to Kate Belle Richardson and then Lou Delia Vinson ( A census record confirms two Williams in this family at the same time ) BARKER PHELPS THRASH JOHNSON REA GRANBERRY MC GUIRE REMBERT

Hi Carol, I'd like to know the same thing! I'm not sure where my Duvalls were before North Carolina. I think most researchers of this line have been trying to tie us into the Mareen Duvall family of Maryland, but as far as I know no one has made a firm connection. Maybe the Virginia route is worth exploring--would you send me (privately, I guess, since we're sort of off the Ashe County topic) more information on Comfort Duvall? Thanks!

I would like to know if the Duvall family from Ashe Co, is descended from Comfort Duvall of Virginia. I am descended from those Duvalls. Thanks. carol taylor

Amy, My great-great-great grandmother was Alpha DuVall who married William H. Badger. They resided in Ashe County. E-Mail me privately if you would like to exchange info. Thanks-Gail

Dear Michelle: The best person to answer your question about the Greers would be Mary Katzman. She has done extensive research on the Greer family of Northwestern NC. Her e-mail address is: [email protected] Hope this helps you. Clinton

Hello: I just wanted to introduce myself by stating how I connect to Ashe County. It is good to see a board devoted to Ashe County. My most famous ancestor is Lt. Isaac WILSON 1822-1864 and his wife Caroline Nancy GREER WILSON (d/o Jesse GreerJr., Frankie BROWN Greer). By the way, I have two different photos of Isaac WILSON. I am always on the look out for other WILSON family photos and family links. I would be very willing to share information about my Wilson branch to anyone interested. It would be great to hear from any descendants of Isaac's siblings. Thanks, Clinton Getzinger [email protected]

I am looking for a Greer, too. My great grandmother was Mary Inez Day and she had a child in 1909 named Wiley Rufus Greer. The father is in Unknown Greer. Does any of this sound familiar. How can I find out who this father was? Mary's parents were George Waldon Payne and Estelle/Stella Day. They never married, but had several kids.

Mornin' everyone, Thought I'd take a bit and drop you a note. Tell you a bit about me, as it were <g> Some of you already know me and some..well..nice to meet you :) My name is Jen and I'm the manager of this list as well as the coordinator of the Ashe County page - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncashe/index.html I've managed USGenWeb pages since the very beginning. I was one of the originals with the KYGenWeb project when we started back in March 1996. Soon after, I started a mailing list for some of my counties. I've been researching for about 6 years. I was adopted and found my birth parents 6 1/2 years ago and genealogy, seemed to me, was the next step. My family centered in Kentucky, but most came there from Western VA and Western NC. Now, a bit about the pages and this list: Remember that your replies go back to this list. If you don't want the rest of us to see what you've got to say...send it back to that person, don't just hit reply. This is *your* list...I'm only here to keep the peace and get it started <g> Well, that's not exactly true...I do have quite a few Ashe County connections <g> Don't feel shy or bashful about posting to the list. If you have a question that can't be found online, drop us a line! Messages don't *need* to be of a genealogy nature. If there is a issue that's going on that affect historical sites, issues, etc, feel free. If there's a family reunion going on, post away! If you have *anything* that deals with Ashe County in a historical or genealogical aspect, let's see it! I've closed this list to avoid spam. I don't like it and don't appreciate it. If someone spams the list, it'll come to me rather than you. The only way someone can post is to subscribe. That's not saying that someone can't subscribe, post, & then unsub, but hopefully, that won't happen. Also, Rootsweb can't allow HTML or RTF formatted letters to come thru the list. If you're not sure how you're sending your mail, go to http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm and check to see. Now, on to the Ashe County page ... There have been some concerns regarding the running of the various state sites and the US project in general. Believe me, I understand that. My only purpose here is to get as much information out there to fellow researchers. Therefore, if you have some information online, but don't feel comfortable submitting it, we could link to it. I believe that the submitter retains the copyright to it. You went to the trouble to gather it and present it for others. I do add a copyright statement at the end of pages stating that the submitter retains the copyright to whatever is there. Well...that's about it. So on to genealogy! Happy hunting! Jen

Mornin' everyone, I'm not sure which of you have received the "standard" mailing list welcome and which have received the new reformed one. Therefore, I've included it here. This is what will be going out to everyone now. Main changes made is that responses will go back to the list by default. This means if you want to respond to something someone sent...and you don't want the rest of us to see, make sure you send it back to that person...don't just hit respond cuz it'll come to us <g> Also, be aware that if a message bounces back to you 4 times, you'll automatically be unsubscribed. Bouncing can occur in many ways...ISP problems, full mailbox, unknown user. Thanks! Jen Welcome to the Ashe County Mailing List My name is Jen Bawden. I'm the manager of this list. That means I'm responsible for keeping it running as smoothly as possible and setting some rules for its operation. This message is long. Don't be intimidated by that. If you will print it out and study it, it will be very helpful to you. If you glance through it and then delete it, you may have problems. Let's make the list a pleasant experience for everyone: save and read these instructions. ============================================================ ####### Your responsibilities ####### That's right, you have some responsibilities, too. A mail list isn't like a movie, where you just buy a ticket, get entertained (sometimes) then walk away. This is a cooperative effort. By default, all responses to messages will return to the list. Please be aware of this when you respond. If you don't want us to see what you're sending, make sure it's not going to the list. 2. Keep this message. I recommend printing it and putting the paper where you can find it. Files on a hard disk get lost (as if paper doesn't, but...) 3. Read this message. Yes, it's a little long, but you don't have to memorize it (that's why you're saving it). It's hard to make it short and tell you what you need to know. 4. Don't be afraid of all this. Using a computer is a little harder than just knowing where the power switch is, but anyone can do this with a little effort and by following instructions. 5. Follow instructions - to the letter. If you leave something out of a command or put something extra in, it probably won't work. 6. If you decide to leave the list, make sure your name is removed (more on this below). The server that sends you this list handles thousands of messages a day. If your address becomes "bad" (for instance, you quit AOL but we think you're still there) then we start getting bounced messages. We get thousands a day now. Please don't make it worse. 7. Remember these addresses:: a. IF YOU NEED HELP, CONTACT ME. My address is [email protected] b. To post a message to this list (so it goes to all other subscribers) send it to [email protected] c. To send a command (commands are discussed below) send a message to [email protected] or [email protected] 8. DO NOT FLAME PEOPLE (SEND ARGUMENTATIVE OR CRITICAL MESSAGES) ON THE LIST. IF YOU ARE FLAMED, DO NOT RESPOND VIA THE LIST!!!! 9. DO NOT POST VIRUS WARNINGS, TEST MESSAGES, CHAIN LETTERS, POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS, CURRENT EVENTS (NON-GENEALOGICAL OR HISTORICAL), ITEMS FOR SALE, ETC. Many times, you'll get virus warnings from trusted friends and believe they are real. For information on virus hoaxes and urban legends see http://www.kumite.com/myths/ among others. 10. Please stay on topic. Just below is a description about what this list is for. Please stay close to that subject. (Keep in mind that history is an important part of genealogy. Current topics usually are not.) 11. Most email programs can send attachments (attached files). Don't send these to the list. (Some programs will send a small attachment with your signature or something like that and you can't shut that off; that's okay.) This isn't a problem for the mail server, but these can cause some subscribers' machines to lock up, make them lose all their mail, even crash their hard drive! A GEDCOM file can be a huge attachment; so can an encoded graphics file (if you don't know what those are, you probably won't be sending them, but a lot of you will understand these terms). If you want people to have these, announce them via the list and have people send you a private email requesting them. 12. If a message to you bounces 4 times, you will be automatically unsubbed from the list. ============================================================ ####### What is this list? ####### This list is for the discussion of Ashe County genealogy and history. Discussion of immigration, historical sketches, Ashe County settlements, census data, wills, family Bibles, vital records, web sites, etc. as relates to Ashe County is encouraged. Public announcements of information of interest to Genealogists in general though it may not be Ashe County-specific is permitted but please use discretion. ============================================================ ####### Are there other lists like this? ####### If you check the following addresses, you'll find more genealogy mailing lists: Vicki Lindsay's page - http://www.eskimo.com/~chance/ John Fuller's page - http://users.aol.com/johnf14246/gen_mail.html Cyndi Howell's site - http://www.cyndislist.com ============================================================ ####### I don't like what some people say on the list! ####### The list is not moderated. Any message sent to it is automatically bounced back out to everyone on the list. While I in no way want to stifle free discussion, as list manager I reserve the right to step in if a flame war erupts, if some thread (a series of messages on the same subject) becomes tedious for other subscribers, or if someone becomes unseemly (excessive use of profanity, for instance). The most important key on your keyboard is the DELETE key. If you don't like a message, delete it. Don't send a cutting or snide remark back to the list. The rest of us don't want to read it, and it just adds to the clutter of useless messages. If you feel there is a serious problem caused by someone, send me a message at [email protected] If you have a personal message for someone, please send it to their address, not the list server address. Any mail sent to [email protected] will automatically be sent to everyone on the list. ============================================================ ####### COMMANDS ####### This list is being run on Rootsweb. This is a very powerful program, but it can also be confusing. It's wise to print this welcome message and keep it handy for future reference. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to [email protected] to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to [email protected] It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both. ============================================================ ####### I'm having a problem ####### Send me a message, but be specific. I can't help if you just say, "I'm having a problem, help me." Tell me what it is. Tell me what you did or tried to do. If you received some kind of error message, send it to me. If you get an error message from Rootsweb, it will tell you what the error is. A LOT of problems are caused by: You tried to UNSUB and Rootsweb says you're not a subscriber, yet you're getting mail. Send yourself a message and see how your address appears in the header of the message. **Usually** (if you're getting this error) they won't be the same. IPS (Internet service providers) are notorious for changing your address, adding "mail" or "pop" or some other term to it - or taking it away. If that is the case, all you can do is notify me to help you. You get a "list not known" or similar error. Check how you're spelling the list's name. You get a "bad command" error. Check you spelling. I see "unscribe", "un-scibe" and about every other variation imaginable. You have to spell stuff right! ============================================================ ####### Web Sites with Ashe County genealogy ####### KYGenWeb - Ashe County - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncashe/index.html Have fun!

Maybe, someone one the list can give a clue. After I deleted all those messages which listed the information from AL Giles about the Mountaineer Heritage. I then went to those messages in the delete folder, and behold! the original messages where there, without the info which was there before I deleted them. In other words, by deleting the messages, that erased the info about the Mountaineer Heritage, and the message "as written" was there! It is interesting that it did not happened with this last message! Has anyone else experienced this problem during just the past 24 hours? John O.

List, Either AL Giles or the [email protected] has a problem!! I just received the message concerning the Mountaineer Heritage 33 times!! It appears to have been forwarded, possibly from everyone in AL Giles address book. John O.
