Mr. Floyd, First, Let me tell you that my husband is a decendant of the Gettys family. We were at the reunion a couple weeks ago and I talked to your sister. She was telling me that you were her brother.

Most folks on these list know Monte & Noma Wike and their contribution to Catawba Valley genealogy. Monte has been laid low recently.

Hi! My name is Steven Ashabraner. Please take a look at my research blog, "Descendants of Urban Aschenbrenner". This blog will be dedicated to the genealogical research of the Descendants of Urban ASCHENBRENNER. I hope to explore my research notes and expand on ideas of how this family may have lived. Hopefully, you like it and have some time to follow along as I introduce the research that I had compiled since 1989. I welcome other researchers in unpuzzling the mysteries of this family and many others. This project will take some time to transform into a blog format so please check back regularly. I hope not to disappoint. Title: Descendants of Urban Aschenbrenner Address: http://ashabraner.blogspot.com/ E-Mail: steven_ashabraner@cox.net Thank You, Steven Ashabraner

I just recieved a message that all the stories from the Hertiage Book project will be carried over to this book. The message came from Sarah Dorman.

Dear Lincoln friends, Some time ago, the folks in Lincoln County announced that a second edition of the "Heritage of Lincoln County" was planned. For whatever reason, not enough interest was generated and few submissions were made. The Lincoln County Historical Association has revived the effort and has given a new face to the effort. While this publication is not, strictly speaking, a Heritage book, the effort will result in a book that will be a real treasure. Everyone with an interest in this book is invited to visit the Lincoln County web site [ http://www.rootsweb.com/~nclincol/index.htm] for more information. or go directly to the "In Our Own Words: The Story of Lincoln County" site: http://www.legacyeditions.com/olc/pub/KQK/homepage.cgi. --Derick S.

Jarrett B. 1791 & Elizabeth Hildebrand B. 1794 line could help me? I am trying to research their youngest daughter an Elizabeth C. Jarrett B. abt. 1839. I have no proof, but I think this is my GG Grandmother, Caroline Jarrett Garland Wilson B. 14 Feb 1838 D. 06 Jan 1906. On the 1850 census for Yancey Co., NC I found a John (59 yrs) & Elizabeth Jarrett (52 yrs) with a daughter Elizabeth C. Jarrett (11 yrs). On the 1860 census in Yancey Co. only John & Elizabeth are in the household, all the children have moved out. On the same census an Isaac Garland is with a Caroline Garland (21 yrs) and a son Charles Garland (1 yrs). Isaac Harvey Garland, Caroline's first husband was killed during the civil war. On the 1870 census for Yancey Co. Caroline Garland is listed only with her children. But nearby a Daniel E. Jarrett and wife Docia are listed and so is an Eli Jarrett with wife Catherine. Elizabeth C. Jarrett had brothers named Danie! l Elisha Jarrett who married Caroline Theodosia "Dosia" Honeycutt and Eli Marcus Jarrett married Catherine Baker. I believe Elizabeth C. Jarrett is Elizabeth Caroline Jarrett or Caroline Jarrett, going by her middle name. I just can not confirm this. Would you know of any Jarrett's that could help? I have seen information that says this family was from Lincoln, NC and all John & Elizabeth's children were born in Lincoln Co. NC It appears at least the first 5 were baptized at a church called Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hickory, NC. Daniel E. & Elizabeth C. did not have a batism record there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Roby Wilson roby@erols.com

In the Hickory paper before 1910 was an article about W.S. Will Stroup, he was married to one of Jule Pooveys Daughters. they took in Two of my Rink line because the sisters were very elderly and had no cash to speak of, so if they signed over their land to him he would take care of them until they died. Which they did and Mr. Stroup kept his word. Mr. and Mrs. Robey Poovey ended up with the Rink sisters belongings which were very fine beds and dust ruffles as well as old German Almanacs. I am not trying to lay any claim to these articles that belonged to my family but I would love to have pictures of any of the things that still exist. This would mean so very much to me and my family. I visited Germany about 5 years ago and found where they came from in 1776. If you are a member of this Poovey line and know of these articles I would love to talk with you and see if I could get pictures of any of the articles that belonged to Amy and Sivila Rink. Thanks to any of these Poove! y lines for any information on this subject. Mary Rink Harbinson Richland, Washinton

I was sure hoping when I posted this message someone would have info about the studio but alas, you probably have as many ? as I do. On the front of the photo in the bottom left corner it states A. McIntosh and under that is Hickory, NC. Since it's stamped on the front like that I assume that A. McIntosh was the photographer. From study info about old photos I'd guess this photo made mid 1870's........................................will try to attach my photo for you to view. Mine is just a copy of the original and since I enlarged to get more man I don't have all the info in the bottom corner. Don't you think that these 2 men look like father & son?
