Is that something that is still going on? I am a descendant of Michael Thomas, his son Everett Jordan Thomas is my Great Grandfather. It would be nice to attend such a gathering with my father, he has lost touch with most of the Thomas family since moving to Virginia in the late 60's.

Thanks for the beautiful story, Craig. Pins are quite interesting. Here is a picture of my great-grandfather 1869-1949 with a lapel pin. He was a grocery store owner and an undertaker, both at the same time, which I understand was as common as not during the time. Seems an odd pin for a man to be wearing for jewelry -- any comments? http://tinypic.com/2zhfaqs.jpg Thanks.

Hey, Dee; great pic; I think the neck ribbon, tie, or accoutrement is as interesting since he is VERY well and conservatively dressed, yet that ribbon seems to be vari-colored and striped; seems at variance with ordinary dress-up apparel. I also would suggest that his other decoration is a combination watch fob and symbol. Perhaps others on the list will provide more definitive info than you now have. Thanks for the beautiful story, Craig. Pins are quite interesting. Here is a picture of my great-grandfather 1869-1949 with a lapel pin.

Paul mentions his memory being jogged on the recent IOOF tombstone inscription and corresponding memory of his father's lapel pin. This has jogged MY memory on another lapel pin. While in college, I joined a fraternity. Many happy memories etc. After college, I was going through my father's jewel box and came across a lapel pin from another fraternity (Kappa Sigma). I asked my dad "WHAT IS THIS?" He said, "Oh, that? That was dad's [his father's] fraternity pin." Naturally, I wanted to know more but first and foremost I was pretty upset that I could (and should) have been a "legacy" of that fraternity, and not to have joined another fraternity (being fresh out of college I guess that still meant something to me.). But, it still intrigued me. I didn't even know my grandfather had attended college. So I asked more questions. Where? "Oh, didn't I ever tell you? Dad went to med school at Wash U (Washington University, St. Louis)" Oh, he did? News to me. (My father was nearly 50 when I was born, and my grandfather died in 1926, and was nothing but a handsome portrait on our wall.) Well then, why wasn't he a doctor? "Because," my father adds, "he had to stay home to help his father tend the farm." I accepted that version of the story for a long, long time. But if you think on it, why on earth would parents move heaven and earth for their only child to get to college in 1904 to be a doctor and then have him return home full time to run a small farm that was only a trolly ride away? So....keep on digging, right? The truth finally comes out. My grandfather was twice married. I always knew that. And that his first wife died in childbirth. That much was true. But I never knew the dates until I looked them up. 1904 was a heady year for young St. Louisans. The Worlds Fair. Romance in the Air. Right on the next-door grounds of Wash U. As it turns out, my grandfather and Miss Sarah Long, a neighbor of his parents, were married in May of that year. In October of that year, she died "suddenly" according to her obituary. This is the same year he dropped out of college to "help his father on the farm." I have since confirmed the same story with a LONG family descendant who had it described the exact same way to her. In no way was his help needed on the farm. At this time, his father was the picture of health and had plenty of hired help. His parents had sent him to private high school in Liberty, Missouri and were now keen on his college education in medicine. Apparently, their plans were set asunder by the breezy, balmy and intoxicating days of the St. Louis World's Fair. This entire story only became revealed due to the existence of a fraternity lapel pin. By the way, I contacted Kappa Sigma's national headquarters and received a very nice letter in response. My grandfather was founding member of the chapter at Wash U, and they supplied me with a copy of the charter application which provided a handsome signature for him and the other young men. I also noticed one of the men signing was the same person for whom my father was named, who DID become a doctor, and delivered my father.

My wife, and her parents before, her were active members of IORM. It was and is QUITE popular in E. Central. If anyone would like to see on of their very nice, EARLY medallions.

I enjoy so much others' accounts of 'complete loss of ....." There is another endearing quality we humans have and that is of transferring a memory into an inaccurate memory. Mine is: A family of 3 or 4 boys and their father were killed on a train track maybe 1/2 mile from my 1 room school house of 6 grades. I recall those 6 rows being quite vacant because there were only about 24 kids in 6 grades. Research years later has made it very clear that I was not even at that school that year, I had passed onto 7th grade at a completely different school. Yet, in my mind I was attending school there at that time.

Hi, Larry and Kelly, and all others who responded to my question re "F.L.T." As many of you have reminded me, it was and is the symbol for the IOOF (International Order of Odd Fellows) a fraternal association of men. Though the group was, and remains vigorous, active, and open to all men of good character, it was thought to be more needed in the last half of the 19th Century. I must have had a complete loss of consciousness/memory, since my G-GFather was a member for years, and I have his lapel pin bearing that symbol, as well as a photo from 1905 showing him and the men of the group of which he was a member in Ohio.

Another site, "THIS AND THAT GENEALOGY TIPS ON CEMETERIES" by Shirley Hornbeck at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hornbeck/cemetery.htm, offered this additional information. "Many times the letters FLT will be found on a flag holder or on a tombstone with each letter in a link of a chain. This is actually the described logo for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.). The letters stand for: Friendship, Love and Truth. The symbol of the three link chain goes hand-in-hand with the three words. Other branches (sub-organizations to the Odd Fellows) also go by a three word motto & logo. There is no special, additional meaning as it is placed on a headstone. It can also be found engraved in foundation cornerstones." Search for the key words "FLT flag IOOF truth" but do not put the words inside of parenthesis. Sandi Wilmot Barron __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Levi Wimberly married Mary Brown and died in Christian County, KY, in 1819 at age 103. None of this addresses Linchfield Wimberly, but at least you have some Wimberlys to follow. John may have moved to TN, and the ancient Levi lived just over the line in KY. Stewart County records also mention a George Wimberly.

Linchfield Wimberly These are all the Wimberly's on the 1800 census nationwide. Be advised there is no1800 census for TN, and no 1810 except in Rutherford and one other county, cant remember which one it is right off. I looked at the Bertie County images and all three listed for Bertie County 1800 have children in the right age bracket to be Linchfield's father. 1800 Census Nationwide - Wimberly Surname Given Name Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year WIMBERLY BENJAMIN NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY DAVID NC CHATHAM NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY GEORGE NC EDGECOMBE NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY JACOB NC CHATHAM NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY LEVI JR NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY LEVI SR NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY MARKE NC CHATHAM NO TWP LISTED 1800 Surname Given Name Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year WIMBERLY EDWARD SC BARNWELL NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY LEWIS SC PENDLETON NO TWP LISTED 1800 WIMBERLY THOMAS SC BARNWELL NO TWP LISTED 1800 1810 Census Nationwide for - Wimberly Surname Given Name Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year WIMBERLY ABRAM SC COLLETON NO TWP LISTED 1810 WIMBERLY BENJA NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1810 WIMBERLY DAVID NC CHATHAM NO TWP LISTED 1810 WIMBERLY GEORGE NC JOHNSTON NO TWP LISTED 1810 WIMBERLY JOHN NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1810 WIMBERLY LEVY JR NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1810 WIMBERLY LEVY SR NC BERTIE NO TWP LISTED 1810 1830 Census Nationwide for Wimberly Surname Given Name Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year WIMBERLY ABM SC COLLETON ST GEORGE PARISH 1820 WIMBERLY ABRAHAM NC ANSON NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY DAVID GA WASHINGTON NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY EDWARD SC BARNWELL NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY GEORGE NC JOHNSTON NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY GEORGE TN STEWART NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY JOHN GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY JOSHUA SC KERSHAW NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY JUDY NC ANSON NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY LEVY TN STEWART NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY LEWIS GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY LUCRETIA GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY MATHS SC COLLETON ST GEORGE PARISH 1820 WIMBERLY NEEDHAM GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY POLLY TN SMITH NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY WILEY GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY WILLIAM GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 WIMBERLY ZACHR GA BURKE NO TWP LISTED 1820 Let me know if you need any more.
