I have an uncle by marriage who is a Cheshire. So I am trying to gather some information for him as a surprise. He was told that his grandfather was Edward b 1859 married to Addie Mae Horn. This may have been a second marriage. Edward was 43 when my uncle's dad, Raymond, b 1902, was born. Raymond and family lived in Cumberland County NC. The family had roots in Bladen County NC and Georgia. We were also told that Edward's father was Nicholas however I saw on the internet where a generation might have been left out. So maybe Barnabus is Edward's dad and Nicholas is his grandfather. It appears that Edward did not talk much about his past. I am told that Edward did have siblings but I have no names. I did not mean to ramble on and I apologize if this is not too clear. Any help or clarification on the Cheshire family will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dale W Burriss --------------07F042ADD158259BD0BA2229 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="ocean1.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Dale W Burriss Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="ocean1.vcf" begin:vcard n:Burriss;Dale W x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:[email protected] fn:Dale W Burriss end:vcard --------------07F042ADD158259BD0BA2229--

You all have been great and I appreciate the help on locating some of the creeks/rivers in Surry County/Stokes/Forsyth Counties NC.

>I have looked at several maps and have not been able to find Stewarts >Creek, Codys Creek or Blows Creek. They are either in Surry County and or >Stokes County NC. Any help appreciated. >Kathy > Powell's NC Gazetteer identifies Stewarts Creek as in present-day Forsyth County (Forsyth was formed from the southern half of Stokes in 1849). It is on the west side of the county, and flows into Muddy Creek. It appears as Tomahawk Branch in maps before 1762. I don't see it on a modern topo map, but supposedly it shows up on a map drawn in 1770. Powell says Cody Creek rises in west central Surry County and flows southeast into Fisher River. I suspect "Blows Creek" may actually be Belews Creek, which is in the northeast corner of Forsyth County and adjacent Stokes County.

Dear Tribal brothers and sisters, November 2, 2001, a respected local Native Elder passed away. His name was George Dallas Ross, Sr., better known to everyone as "Papa Ross." He was a great man and a good Indian. He often set up booths at Pow Wow and sold the things he made. He was born in the Qualla Boundaries, Cherokee, NC January 24, 1933. He was 7/8 Cherokee/Creek. The funeral is Monday, November 5, 2001, at the Ryans Funeral Home in Trenton, GA. Papa Ross leaves behind his wife Paula Jean "Mama"Ross, daughters Debi Woods, Cindy Bauta and Dawn Pyron and sons George Ross, Jr. (Chuck) and Donnie Ross. If you would like to contact the family their address is P.O. Box 158, Trenton, GA 30752 Papa Ross will be dearly missed. Many may know Papa Ross from the many Pow Wow's he and his entire family attended. I spoke with Donnie Ross Saturday evening and he wanted me to send this out to everyone that may have known his father. Our prayers are with the family during this time.

Dear List Members, I do hope that this is not too inappropriate for this list and that if any of you deem it so, please just write and tell me. My great grandmother, Mary Catherine Joyner (Aka Mittie Joyner) of Halifax, North Carolina was born in 1850 and died in December, of 1943 at age ninety- three. It sufficeth to say that I knew her and of course I still remember her, In fact her portrait hangs in my bedroom today. After her death my mother asked my grandmother (her mother) where Mittie's Cameo Ring was. Well it appeared that no one knew what had become ot it. And while my mother often told the story of this ring which was given her gandmother in approximately 1865 no one had any idea of its whereabouts. In September of this year I was asked by my very dear cousin (who is more like a sister) to come back to CAlifornia to assist with the care of her sister who was coming home from a Psychiatric hospital admission because of Major Depression. this has been her constant companion. Well, I agreed to come and made my reservations. First it is important to tell you that Professionally I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a member of the National Mental Health Counselors Asso and not only worked in the field for more than twenty years but I too have had my bouts with severe depression. I have learned to control them over the years. So naturallly I was ideal. I had been ther both personally and professionally. Well, after I made my reservations I started to resent the cousin I was to take care of because most of her adult life she has denied her African American Roots and lived as white. To the point that her brother, one of the original Tuskeegee Airmen could not visit her home. (his skin was darker than her's) and her sister had to tell people that she was her friend. We.. I had not been around this person for any length of time because my compexion like her borther and sister though fair was off the charts as it were. I decided that she had ignored her family and now the heck with her. I picked up the telephone to call the airline and cancel my flight but was put on hold. My daughter came in my room and asked who I was speaking to. When I told I was calling to cancel my flight that I was not going to California. No sooner had the words come out of my moth then my great grandmother's portrait came crashing to the floor but the hook which held it was still in the wall. Needless to say I hung up the phone and my daughter said, "I don't think Ma Mittie wants you to cancel that flight." I went to California determined that if she said one word out of place I would leave. Those two weeks were amazing. We learned about each other and I found something beautiful in this woman who had denied herself the miracle of having children for fear of their color. On my last evening there she brought out her jewelry box and from it she took a rose gold cameo ring with the initials MJC and a 22 Karat rose gold thimble with the same initials inscribed on them. The shocked look on my face when I said to her These are Mittie's? She told me that our great grandmother had taken the ring off of her finger and put it on hers in 1939 and gave her the thimble it was just about six months before her 18th birthday. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "These are for you. "YOu are the one who deserves these" and she placed the ring on my finger and the thimble in my hand. You have guarded this family's history and Mittie wants you to have them. I must have cried half the evening. When I think of what I could have lost had I not listened to my heart and the voices from the past. I have found a lost sheep a family member who now realizes what she lost by alienating her family. Our family has come yet another step in the quest to be whole and to be one amongst ourselves, God and the universe. So when your brick wall appears and you think you will never surrmount it. Remember me, and the ring which had not been seen for more than 62 years. Listen well, for they are telling you where you need to go to get the information. They want to know you and they want you to know of them and their times. P.S. I return to California on January 5th. This time for 6 weeks. Peace and Love Florence

Surnames: Brewer, Privette, Armes/Arms Does anyone have a Louisa (Smith?) Brewer married prior to 1870 in their line. Am trying to find out Mr. Brewer's name. They had at least one son, William Mathew born in 1870. Thank you

S On the 1860 Lawrence County, TN census there are several entries of "Unoccupied." I was just checking out Civil District 7 and came upon the GOWER family followed by "Unoccupied - W. K. Lindsey place" followed by "Unoccupied - James Kelso land" followed by "Unoccupied - Also James Kelso Land." The following was the HARDISON family with her mother, Elizabeth DUGGER, living there too; this was followed by "Unoccupied - Williamson house on G. W. Hardison land." The next household was that of Simon Hardison followed by B. W. CLEEK (the name I was looking up). The next household was "Unoccupied - Jno. Fields or C. M. McGee place" immediately followed by "Unoccupied - Jno. McClain house on Kelly land." The next household was that of Michael CLEEK then that of Ezra HARDISON. Following was "Unoccupied - Ezra Hardison land" then "Unoccupied - Sidney Crews house on Kelly land." Going back several pages I found "Unoccupied - Sam Williams house on W. P. Williams land" followed by "Unoccupied - James Joyce house on J. A. Hagen land" then the household of Samuel Williams followed by "Unoccupied - Widow Scholes place." Unless I'm badly mistaken, the Widow Scholes had moved to Kentucky to the home of her son Richard (she died before the 1870 census). Bottom line: some census takers made marvelous notes on their forms. Some didn't. Pat
