Looking for any and all info about a Jessy B. BROOKS who was in Cherokee Co., NC in the early 1800's. Thanks, CAT -- Carol Ann "Cat" Tindell Jacksonville Beach, FL C.A.T.'s Southern Genealogy: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~catinjax/ Researching: AKINS, BERRY, BOWERS, BROOKS, CANTRELL, DANIEL, ROBERTS & WOOD{S}

Hi Cathy, Yes it is...we have corresponded some while back, under my old screen name. The parent of Mary Arizona Akins are: James Chastain Akins and Elizabeth Jane Clayton. Here is the line I have: Mary Arizona Akins, James Chastain Akins, Littleton Akins, Ezekiel Akins, Lewis Akins, John 2 Akins, John 1 Akins. I am not sure about John 1 & 2...it is from information that was on the List, but I am not sure if it has been verified. Gwen Skelton in GA has sent me a photo of James Chastain Akins and Elizabeth Jane Clayton. I am forwarding it to you. It is a beautiful photo! Enjoy! Your cousin, Arlene Hampton

Yes, Karen it is, but for more accurate information, you probably will want to contact June Herman, email address: jherman@junct.com She is from the Loudermilk line, and can help you more on that than I can. Happy Hunting! Arlene

Married my great grandfather James "Ervin" Boone. Their son my grandfather Lewis Amos Boone born 1862, ended up in Macon County, N C< and since there are Buckners in Macon County, near Cherokee County, There may be a better connection. Do you have any connection to this family? << No I don't think we've talked yet. <G> Could you be more specific about your Matilda? What years? Who did she marry? I have about 8 Matildas and several Irene's. Kaye Kaye Buckner Presley >>

Cat, thanks for the url for population figures! Arlene

Does anyone on this list know what the Population of Cherokee Co. NC was in 1800 to 1850? Thanks! Arlene Hampton

Sandra (Valley River Relatives), would you like some information on the descendents of Jonathan & Annie Blythe's grandson, Francis Marion Hampton? Arlene Hampton

Hi Frankie, I have a James L. Jordan, 1857-1924, who married Ella Postell, 1882-1937. Is This James related to your g-uncles? He lived in Cherokee Co. NC also, in the Topton and Robbinsville area. His grandson is my first cousin, because James L. Jordan's son, Mac, married Vinny Woody, my daddy's sister. Let me know if you know about any Woody connections. Thanks, Carolyn M. Woody-Fuller

In the 1900 US Census (Muprphy, NC), Lillie Jordan was married to Calvin H. Bishop. She had two children, Jake A. Jordan (age 10) and John Jordan (age 6). I assume Lillie was married to a Jordan earlier prior to marrying Bishop. Since she was born in NC, I assume there must have a Jordan or two in the vicinity up until at least 1894. In the 1850s there seems to have been a migration to northern GA - Pickens, Gilmer, Cherokee, and Fannin counties. You might check there. Paul Carter

Hi again, Phillip, I haven't checked out your website yet but will soon. This past weekend I finished the links for Jonathan & Annie Blythe's McDonald grandchildren. I was deliberating on what to type and upload next. So, since you've expressed this interest, I'll work on Willis Parker's, the oldest Parker grandchild of Jonathan & Annie Blythe. I'll try to get it up this weekend. Sandra Valley River Relatives http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~snipper

Philip, Could you subscribe me to your other lists? My husband has Presley's and Hoxit's and several other names from that area. Kaye Kaye Buckner Presley

No I don't think we've talked yet. <G> Could you be more specific about your Matilda? What years? Who did she marry? I have about 8 Matildas and several Irene's. Kaye Kaye Buckner Presley

Hi list members, I just signed on with you nice people. I know that I will like it here! I have been searching for some family members for several years now. My search is for two G.Uncles . Willis E.Jordan,born 1841or 1842 N.C.......... James H.Jordan,born 1843 or 1844 N.C....... They were both raised in Cherokee Co.,N.C.. Willis is only listed in the 1850 and 1860 census so is James H.Jordan listed. I know who their mother and siblings are . What I don't know is where did they go too? If these names sound like they belong to you please contact me. I'm looking forward in hearing from you soon. Thank you in advance. Frankie

Just when I thought I had my Cherokee Co. lines down pat, a cousin goes digging through an old trunk, and I discover I've got Suttons!! Seems my elusive gg-grandmother's parents were Solomon and Rebecca Sutton Messe, and now I gotta prove it. Here's how the line goes, according to the papers found by my cousin. Solomon Messer & Rachel ? > Solomon Messer & Rebecca Sutton > Mary Lucinda Messer & Joseph Anderson Kimsey > Agnew Courtney Kimsey & Elizabeth Ella Abernathy > etc. Here's the problem. Solomon Messer's first wife is listed in most Messer research as Rosannah McMahan. However, he didn't marry her until he was 30 years old. I think that my aunts are right, and that Solomon Messer had a wife (Rebecca Sutton) who died young, and had at least one child by that wife -- Mary Lucinda. Why do I think the "Aunt Queenies", as my cousin calls them, are right? Because: 1) Their research on other lines is almost dead-on. They've missed a couple of dates by a few years, but everything else in the other lines has checked out. I think this will, too. 2) They knew their grandmother, Mary Lucinda, so they were in a position to hear first-hand who her parents were. 3) Four of Solomon Messer's siblings married Suttons -- be sorta natural for him to do the same. 4) Solomon's age -- a first marriage at 30 years old was highly unusual in the 1840-50s. 5) On the 1860 census, Mary lists her birthplace as "Jackson Co. NC" Since she was b. in 1836, that's not possible. However, Solomon and many of his siblings lived and died in what became Jackson Co. in 1851 -- I think Mary was merely using the new county name. I have been unable to trace Mary Lucinda further back that 1852, where she first appears as a live-in maid in the James Whitaker household. She doesn't appear in any Messer household on the1850 censuses for Cherokee, Clay, Haywood, or Macon counties. I'm now checking Sutton households on the theory that if Mary's mother died when she was young, she might possibly have been taken in by family on the maternal side. There are Suttons on the 1850 Cherokee Co. census. Of course, I'd love to hear from anyone who has information on these Suttons and Messers. It's been a long haul to get a breakthrough on Mary Lucinda's parents. Any help in proving it will be most appreciated. Judy

Following Kaye's good idea, I will list my Cherokee County line: I am mainly researching the descendants of William S. Parker, many of whose descendants moved to Cherokee. I am also interested in the ancestry of Adeline Amelia Vannoy Parker (dau of Joel Vannoy), wife of Willis Parker (grandson of William S.), While this is not a direct line of ancestry, there may be a connection with Vannoys who married into my Shepherds of Wilkes County more than once. My line of Shepherds from there moved to Macon County, descendants of Thomas Shepherd (sr.) and Nancy Elizabeth Stanton.

Hello everyone. I'm still new to genealogy, but does anyone have any info about any of these families: Barton (Grandfather was Cecil C. Barton of Marble) Birchfield (Grandmother is Indy Birchfield Barton of Marble) Lovin (Grandfather was Willard W. Lovin, also of Graham County) Thanks in advance, John Lovin
