    2. Linda Hoxit Raxter
    3. 1870 Transylvania County Census, Gloucester twp, hse #56 Owens, [Sam] age 22 ", Libby age 19 Owens, John age 72 - owns $800 worth of real estate ", Livina age 74 ", Martha age 12 - "At Home" Is this really a Sam? If so which of the fifty million Sam Owens is it? How is he related to John? Who is Martha? How is she connected? Next house, next mystery #57 is headed by a female age 27 whose name is so sqiggloed I am having a very difficult time making it out. But she has the following youngins: Sarah age 10 David age 7 Wm age 4 John age 2 She is hopefully the widow of an Owen - which one, what is her maiden name, and for that matter what is her given name? If not a widow, then which owen is her Daddy? For that matter, she could be an Owen who is also the widow of an Owen - these things happened. -- Linda Hoxit Raxter http://www.rootsquest.com/~alextree lraxter@citcom.net Western North Carolina Cemeteries and More!

    1. Anna Owen
    2. D H Gilbert & J E Hardin
    3. Looking for parents of Anna OWEN (c.1822/6-1890) who married John Garren, son of William Garren Sr and Sarah Whitaker! John and Anna received property from James Owen(s) located on Mizers Creek in western Transylvania County NC in 1852. What relation was James Owen to Anna Owen? The property was sold to Eli Galloway in 1857. Was Eli Galloway related to John Garren or Anna Owen? John and Anna moved to Union County, Georgia after the sale of the property to Eli Galloway. Three of the children married into the Erwin family. The Erwin children had a mother whose maiden name was Patterson; did the Patterson family move from Transylvania County to Union County GA? John and Anna's daughter, Margaret Malinda Garren, married George Washington Kitchen. Was George from Transylvania County? In 1871, John and Anna Owen Garren moved to La Veta, Colorado. John Garren died in 1874 and Anna Owen Garren remarried Samuel Everett Patterson. Is Samuel Everett Patterson from Transylvania County NC? I have posted the data that I have available for the John and Anna Owen Garren family on the Garren Goodies Online website. http://www.brinet.com/~garren/ga2john.htm Any assistance would be appreciated.

    1. Please help Archives survive construction
    2. Linda Hoxit Raxter
    3. I happened to notice a problem when going to County Archives this week - the blueprint for the new addition. They didn't have us included - they did have the Historical Society listed. Well we finally concluded that the architect just got the two groups mixed up (everybody does that). But I did find out something interesting. The construction will be happening in our closet/office this winter. No one has mentioned what will happen to us during this time. Not that they are planning to get rid of us, they probably just haven't considered the full impact of the problem. If you are thinking about a visit back home during the next few months please write a polite letter and ask. Just mention that you are planning to visit the Transylvania County Joint Historic Preservation Commission Archives in the next few months and understand there will be some construction and you want to make sure you can access the archives. Send letter to: Transylvania County Tourism Development Board Transylvania County Joint Historic Preservation Commission 28 East Main Street Brevard, NC 28712 No need to send seperate letters - they all go to the county manager who makes copies for everyone else. Just keep in mind that tourism has a higher priority than history so I like for them to know that there are bunches of people who come for records, not just to fall off of waterfalls. (bad problem in this county - lots of tourists don't realize the rocks are slippery up there) Who knows, with enough letters, we might even get a bigger closet when all the dust has settled. Be nice to actually have room to roll out the maps. Thanks! -- Linda Hoxit Raxter lraxter@citcom.net Western North Carolina Cemeteries and More!

    1. Interesting article
    2. Philip Sheppard
    3. Friends, Here's an apropo article I found on the Old Buncombe County Genealogical Society homepage <http://www.main.nc.us/OBCGS/> Enjoy, Philip Sheppard Listowner Twenty Ways to Avoid Genealogical Grief Here are some suggestions to help beginners prevent misfortune when learning how to do genealogical research. Many of these tips are "old hat" to experienced genealogists, but it is always worthwhile to remind ourselves of the basics of sound research. Always note the source of information that you record or photocopy, and date it too. If the material is from a book, write the name, author, publisher, year of publication, ISBN or ISSN (if it has one), and also the library where you found it (or else photocopy the title page). Occasionally you'll find that you need to refer to a book again, or go back to great aunt Matilda to clarify something she told you. Talk to all your older-generation relatives (before they're all gone and you're the older generation!) Even a distant relative can be a goldmine of information about your ancestors. Make photocopies or keep backups of all letters and e-mail messages you send. This will save you from wondering which of your correspondents' questions you've already answered, and which of your questions they have or haven't answered. Don't procrastinate in responding to letters or messages you receive. If you don't have time to write a detailed reply, send your correspondent a quick message or postcard to acknowledge receipt and tell her/him approximately when you'll send them a more complete reply. Then be sure to write back as you've promised. Make frequent backups of your computer disks. Store your backups and photocopies of your irreplaceable documents where you work or at someone else's home. When searching for relatives in records, don't pass over entries that are almost (but not quite) what you're looking for. For example, if you're searching for the marriage of John Brown and Mary Jones in 1850, make a note of the marriage of John Brown and Nancy Smith in 1847: this could be a previous marriage in which the wife died shortly after. When writing to libraries or to genealogical or historical societies in your areas of interest, ask them for the names and addresses of out-of-print booksellers in the area. Write to the booksellers and ask if they have any old local histories or family histories pertaining to the area. Remember that just because information is on computer or in print, it ain't necessarily fact! Information in recent family histories is often based on that from older published works. If the older books are incorrect, the wrong information simply gets repeated and further disseminated. The earlier the time period in which you're researching, the less consistent our ancestors were about the spelling of their surnames. Also, some of them were illiterate and couldn't tell a record keeper how their names should be spelled. Family traditions of close connections to famous people are usually false, but there may be a more obscure relationship involved. For example, perhaps the famous person spent a night at your ancestor's inn instead of (as the legend goes) marrying into the family. Try not to let your research get behind. Establish a filing system for your papers (using file folders or 3-ring binders) and file each page of notes, document, photocopy, etc. as you acquire it. There are few things more disheartening than contemplating a foot-high stack of unfiled papers, wondering if the birth certificate you desperately need to refer to is buried somewhere in it. Double-check all dates to make sure they are reasonable, for example, a woman born in 1790 could not have become a mother in 1800. Be on the lookout for nicknames. A request for a birth certificate for Sadie White may be rejected by a record office if the name in their files is Sarah White. Beware of mail-order promotions offering what might purport to be a personalized genealogy of your surname with a title like The Amazing Story of the BLANK Family, BLANKs Since the Civil War or Burke's Peerage World Book of BLANKs. These books are not properly researched and documented genealogies; instead they are often little more than lists of names from phone directories or other readily-available sources. Notify the Better Business Bureau, postal authorities and consumer advocate agencies if you receive one of these. If you're looking for occurrences of a particular surname, national and international phone listings are widely available on CD-ROM and can be viewed in many public libraries or purchased. Don't assume modern meanings for terms used to describe relationships. For example, in the 17th century a step-child was often called a "son-in-law" or "daughter-in-law," and a "cousin" could refer to almost any relative except a sibling or child. Remember that indexes to books rarely include the names of all persons mentioned in the book and, in addition, occasionally contain errors. If it appears that a book is likely to have valuable information, spend some time skimming its contents rather than returning it to the library shelf after a quick glance at the index. Be precise when making notes and especially when sharing information with others. Write dates using an unambiguous format: Americans interpret 5/6/1881 as 6 May 1881, but in many other countries it would be read as 5 June 1881. Always capitalize or underline surnames, some of which can be mistaken for given names, e.g., HENRY, HOWARD. Note place names in full, including parish or township, county, state or province, and country. You'll often encounter conflicting information, for example, you might discover that your paternal grandmother's birth date on her gravestone is different than her birth date as told to you by your father. Note the source for each piece of information, but don't feel you have to decide immediately which date is the correct one. In fact, both of them may be wrong! Further research may reveal a more credible birth date, for example, the one on her birth certificate. Take time occasionally to review and verify the conclusions you've reached concerning each of your ancestors' lives: this will prevent you from wastin time following blind alleys. Boundaries and place names change constantly over the years. Always verify them in historical atlases or genealogical texts pertaining to the area. For example, the boundaries of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania have changed four times since it was first colonized. Whenever you can, advertise the surnames you're researching by posting them electronically (for example, on the ROOTS-L Surname List) and submitting them to genealogical directories and surname lists published by genealogical societies that you belong to. This will put you in touch with others who are researching the same surnames--possibly for a much longer time--and save you from reinventing the wheel. After all, the most rewarding genealogical research is the kind that no-one else has already done! The original copy of this article is located at: http://www.smartlink.com/~leverich/20ways.html.

A son and a daugher of William V. Parker married a daughter and a son of William Cathey. Whew! I about had a heart attack when my program said, "It this the same so-and-so as ..."

Frank Patterson was born in Union Co., GA in 1940, and his ancestors were from Union, Towns and Fannin Counties of GA, as well as other north GA, western NC and northwest SC counties in the late 1700s through the 1800s. These families include PATTERSON, STEPHENS, AMMONS, AKINS, NICHOLSON, CHASTAIN, BLACK, FRANKS, INGRAM, BYERS, COFFEY, FERGUSON, and many others. I will be adding more individuals to my database shortly, so there will be more direct ancestors being added soon, but this is a good start. It goes back 13 generations (counting my dad). Here's the url for this page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/4422/pd/patt_frank_anc_genrpt.htm >From this page I have all of my main family pages linked, also. Maybe some of you can use some of this information. Good luck!
