A new list for members and descendants of the Buncombe/Henderson/Transylvania pioneer HEFNER family and close kin was just founded last night. This is the family which came into Old Buncombe County (area that is now Transylvania County near Brevard) in ca. 1802 from Lincoln County. Descendants still reside in Henderson County today. This is an "on-line family association" allowing us to work closely together on family history which includes the WETZEL and SUMMEY families as well (ancestors of this line of Hefners). Wylene Alston is Texas is serving the family as our list manager. A message from Wylene: "LOOKING FOR ALL HEFNER COUSINS ON LINE" If you are working on those HEFNERS who came to OLD BUNCOMBE CO., NC about 1802-3, to what is now TRANSYLVANIA CO., NC. You are invited to join us online. We plan on working as a team to solve the mysteries of our HEFNERS and related surnames, (such SUMMEY, WETZEL, ALLISON, TRAMMELL, TINSLEY etc.) To join list, EMAIL <WomannTx@aol.> or <WyleneL@aol.com.> and ask to be added to the list. list manager, Wylene Alston
