I guess I missed some postings somewhere along the line. Linda says that info was posted here regarding the ancestors of John/Thomas Owen who married Anna Right. Would whoever posted it before please re-post it and where it came from? Thanks, Shawna

Now I know that usually such a subject line just means I want information about her. But Linda is no ordinary researcher - comes from spending too much time in cemeteries. I'm actually trying to find Eliza Jane Hobbs The local newspaper just published a big full page story about me and my research. This was read by a local landlord. He had a tenant who had purchased a marker for Eliza Jane Hobbs but was never able to locate her grave. When she died, the landlord found the marker while cleaning up around her place and put it on his porch. Well, now I have it until I can find her. Anyone have any information about her that might help? Might be some information across the line in SC even. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies for bothering all of you with the previous email (and this one too, I suppose). I really did copy all the other "list" addresses on paper and typed them in so as to avoid "spamming" all the addresses on those lists. My only excuse is that THIS list - with its heavy percentage of friends and relatives - isn't filed with all those other lists; it's in with the people I think I'm on a first-name basis with. Hope you'll all take it as a compliment.

Dear Friends and Cousins, I received, just the other day, a packet of copies of documents pertaining to the family of Eli Galloway (in my direct line). Linda Raxter did the research and I can tell all of you who can't make it to Transylvania or the area, it is *WELL WORTH THE $45* to get this kind of documentation. Linda hunted down every mention of Eli Galloway in census records, land records, etc. and it became a rather THICK packet, what with all that she found. Now I know more about Eli and his family than just names and dates. If you're in the situation I'm in (little time and long distance, but a few extra bucks), I highly recommend hooking up with Linda and getting her to do some leg work for you. I can't promise that she'll find as much as she found for me, since Eli left a very nice little paper trail for her to follow and copy, but she should be able to find at least something on an ancestor or relative you'd like to know more about, if they were in the area long enough to leave an imprint on paper. I'm impressed enough to want Linda to do more on other families of mine, so she oughta make a little moolah off of me.

Life at archives has been a bit odd lately and we are all trying to re-group and figure out what we have and what to do with it. Guess what we found in the closet. A book of surveys from the 1820s!!!!!!! We don't know who the surveyor was yet or what all the info is. It is in a hand sewn leather book and contains the legal descriptions of all the properties he surveyd and the names of the people he surveyed for and dates. Even a couple of maps. The book is rolled up like it lived in someone's pocket and has gotten wet a few times. The writing is remarkably legible given the time period. But it so old that as soon as we figured out what it was we figured out we shouldn't handle it. We will be sending it to state archives for preservation work and we probably won't get to really see what is in there for a few months. Can't wait. -- Linda Hoxit Raxter http://www.rootsquest.com/~alextree lraxter@citcom.net Western North Carolina Cemeteries and More!

Thanks to everyone for your help - we can now hang these undies out to dry. I have received a message that NCGenWeb will remove her - they just need me to send in the proof of the copyright violations. Sorry things had the get ugly there for a moment, but we should all hopefully have a functional web site soon now. It will be great to have a GenWeb site for the genie stuff and my ALHN site for the history - that's the way it is supposed to work.

I have waited for more than two years for the Transylvania USGenWeb site to produce something I could use. How frustrating. Maybe Jane has too many things on her plate to handle the three or four sites she maintains, but one would expect to SOME change in two years.

THANK YOU, Linda Hoxit Raxter, for your dedication to sharing family information, not only of your family, but also all the other families you help who have "roots" in North Carolina. I hope to someday visit North Carolina. In the meantime, I thank you for all of the information you have given me about the area my ancestors called home. The only real genealogy information on the Transylvania Co. NC site is the queries and Personal web pages. As for it being "wise to wash this linen across the US?" Publicity is sometimes necessary. Rena Anderson Pittman

Hi Carolyn, Sorry, I have never lived in N.C. and I did live anywhere until 1951. Thanks for asking. I'm researching gggrandparents. The Pridmore and Heath's lived near Little River Baptist Church. Govan and Margaret (Heath) Pridmore, are buried there. The Cox and Cagle's were around Davidson River/Brevard area I believe. Thanks again, Eddie CSHDTH@aol.com wrote: > Eddie: Did you happen to have lived in a little comunity in Trans. Co by the > name of Enon.

Hello, As a seeker of NC family history, but living out of state, I am constantly surprised about the bickering that appears to go on over County sites of one type or another. Do you really believe it is wise to wash this linen across the US? Recently, I e-mailed some answers to questions that you asked. In turn, I requested some information and have not received an answer. Are you the person to whom I should be communicating in respect to Transylvania County genealogy questions? Or, are there other persons who would be more likely to respond? I understand that you are a historian for this county, as such, what is your present goal? Although, I am not related to half the County, Brevard remains a lovely remembrance because of the many hours I spent on my grandfather's farm gazing across his pig pens to Brevard College. Best regards to all, Sarah Ruth Blank, Bowie, Maryland

I came across these minutes from Cathey's Creek Church (I must have copied them from the Archives in Sept.) Linda Raxter suggested that I sent it to the Mail List. It must be a copy of a copy because it is really difficult to read. This is what I can read: State of North Carolina Henderson County April 1842 We The Brethren and Sisters who are living On The Easte Fork of the French broad River who are Members of Catheys Creek Church and who request privilledge to become an arme of Said Church which request was granted whose names are here subscribed and Brother Robt (Torden, Forden, Torsten?) does agree to be our supply as Moderator. (Following are 19 names, 11 of them Gillespies, some of which I recognize as my ancestors and relatives, some of them illegible. This is what I can make out.) Wm Gillespie John Kennemur Milberry Gillespie Sary Kennemur Wm H Gillespie Sary Gillespie Jackson Gillespie John Gillespie Susanna Gillespie Elizabeth Huff (?) Rebaca Gillespie Flora ? Roft A Gillespie Jethuan ? Sary Gillespie Jeane Whitmire ? Gillespie Joseph Glazner Lucinda Glazner The rest of the minutes are mostly illegible, can only make out a word here and there. IF any of you have a copy of this that is more legible or if you recognize any of these people, I would like to hear from you. Also, I am wondering, is there still a Cathey's Creek Baptist Church. Did it become East Fork Baptist Church? I had always thought my Gillespies were members of East Fork Baptist Church. The trial of William Galloway and Hannah Powellwas at East Fork Baptist Church (I don't have the date in front of me) and a Sary Gillespie and Jane Whitmire were "churched" for fussing with each other. Thanks Verne G. Clubb Chester, VA (formerly of Easley, Pickens County, SC and related to Gillespies, Galloways, Gravleys, Pattersons, Glazners, Cissons, and Coopers of Transylvania County, NC.
