The USGS website lists a "Parrish Cemetery" in Johnston County, North Carolina. The map provided shows it about halfway between Angier and West Smithfield. According to the map it looks to be on State Route 50, a couple of miles north of Highway 210. I am not from the area, but maybe someone else can provide some additional details for you.

I don't think you need to apologize. Many of us shared your frustrations and disgust over practices in this hobby of ours. All of us were "newbies" at some point and many of us were introduced to the fun of genealogy through the internet. Often times newbies aren't aware of the courtesies of the hobby and I certainly don't think it is inappropriate to discuss the issue on a mailing list. There are sources, I believe on rootsweb, regarding these issues but they are often over looked by beginners because they don't realize the time, effort and indeed expense that researchers have gone too. Most of us have learned from other researchers. I had the benefit of a distance cousin, now deceased, who helped me on my way and instructed me as to how to avoid the pit falls. Only after three or four years of my own research did I really appreciate what he had taught me. One of the biggest problems is the perpetuation of incorrect material or data without being able to support it with sources. Information without sources is worthless and please don't pass it on! Check those sources and research for additional as well. In fact you may find to your surprise additional information beyond what you have in your files and find that you weren't correct either. Example: One John Buckle of Kanawaha County with entries by numerous genealogist on rootsweb family trees which shows him married to one Rebecca Henderton. Source came from a book written by a researcher connected with the Henderton/Henderson family. This evidently was accepted as being correct without further research and she is shown as the mother of his children. Kanawha County marriages shows him married as recorded in 1798 to Rebecah Upton. When I wrote emails requesting additional sources from these posters of info I received only one reply. What are then, these posters of info, researchers or name collectors? Am I right? My research and that of two other descendents of this family who helped tremendously found only one John Buckle in Kanawha County during that time frame but that doesn't mean it is sit in stone and to be a real researcher you must be open to challenges on your own research. I subscribe to Ancestry and use My Family information but to assume that everything you get off this information is correct is where the problem often develops. All of us would like to have access to information or research available at the actual court houses and historical societies but won't be able to travel to that location to do research so the internet is our next best alternative. I don't have any problem telling new or old researcher alike to not post any info I share to My Family web sites and also that I expect to receive acknowledgement for what I do share. Sometimes I offend people with my bluntness but you can be assured that I don't offend you any more so than I am offended by seeing my own research uses as your own. Rootsweb could do all of us a favorite by addressing this issue. Ruth Skidmore

This is to apologize for a e-mail sent last Wednesday to this and other lists sent by my niece but written by me and I never intended it to be sent. Once written, my anger was released and I thought better. However, my niece can go from Lady to the word use for female dog in 4.2 seconds. I did not realize she had sent the message until the next morning. That being say, some good things came form the e-mail. 1. After a discussion with AOL, I now get it for $7.00 less. 2. Many e mails were sent in agreement. 3. The lady who ripped me off has now listed my research as hers on her web site, with the a Mulatto slave as the great grandfather of her husband. She said she did the research herself. 4. She sent to me updated information about her family with birthdays and maiden names of living people. Smart enough to ripped me off, dumb enough to send that information to a total stranger. On the downside after doing genealogical research for thirty-three years and having two articles published in The American Genealogist, I will now quit genealogy. I will leave it to the new breed of Internet Genealogists that have no sense of right or wrong. So no need to unsubscribe me for an apology, I will do that soon myself. Thank You Tonto Bernstein

The reason I ask is, I have a Susannah Hood, next door to my ancestor Charles Rowland Hood, in the 1820 Census of Montgomery County, Tennessee. In this census, this Susanna Hood was born before 1775. My Charles was born before 1775 also. One of Charles descendants was Washington Hood, born 1807 in Kentucky, he moved with Charles, to Tennessee, then back to Kentucky where he died and is buried in Calloway County. I show Charles as being in the following: 1810 Johnston County, NC 1820 Montgomery County, TN 1830 Stewart County, TN 1840 some descendants in Calloway County, KY some show Charles as dying 1816, in Sumner County, TN but I have seen no proof.

It started with Family Tree Maker. After one puts in 100 names, the software ask for one to send the data to them. Most smart people ignore the request but not all. The brother of the person I helped with my data, hit the send button and therefore giving my data that took years and years to collect to this corporation. Now, people are sourcing World Family Tree with data collected by my cousin and myself. My Family.com, Ancestry.com, Ancestery.com, Family Tree Maker.com, Rootsweb.web, genealogy.com are all .coms owned by My Family.com, Inc at Provo,UT e-mail [email protected] In case, you agree with me and would like to let them know what you think. The monopoly is so great that one cannot go any where on Internet without have one of these getting send to one of these website. Another person recently, wanted to be correct about there direct line. They promised to credit my cousin and I with research if I would supply the data. They did not keep their promised, it was easier to plagiarize. Well, Rootsweb does allow for post-em to be place on these website. At least, these people won't get away with the plagiarism. I agree with the last elected President of this country who had the nickname Give'm Hell Harry, when he said I don't give anyone hell, I tell the truth and they think it is hell
