I am looking for any and all information on John Conley Lunsford, born 1901 Watauga County, NC died May 5 1957 in Suffolk, VA. We have little to no information on him except his birthdate and county and SS# from his son's birth certificate and his death date. We do also know that several of his children were born in East TN possibly in the Piney Flats or Bluff City area. Send any replies to [email protected] Thank you.

Civil War Program to Highlight Local Events John B. Palmer was, in many ways, a man like many people today in the mountains: he had made his fortune elsewhere and had moved to the mountains in semi-retirement. Even though Palmer was from New York and not a slave owner, when the Civil War came, he sided with the South. Colonel Palmer rose to command the 58th North Carolina Troops, and later, the Department of Western North Carolina. In June 1864, another Colonel, George W. Kirk, a Tennesseean loyal to the Union, retreated through the High County from a raid on Morganton. He came up the Winding Stair Road near Linville Caverns, passed by Linville Falls, and moved through what is today Avery County to the Altamont township. There, he burned Colonel Palmer's house and all his possessions. Such was the war in the mountains. Another local couple would also provide daring tales for future researchers. Keith and Malinda Blalock, at first both Confederate soldiers but later Union soldiers, lived in the Coffey Gap area of Watauga County. During the war, they would guide escaped Union prisoners of war through the western mountains' own version of the Underground Railroad, often while being hunted by local Confederates. These, and many other stories, will be recounted at 8 pm., Saturday evening, September 8, at the Linville Falls Amphitheater on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Costumed historical interpreters from the 58th North Carolina Troops Preservation Society will be on hand to talk about local history, civilians, and the life of common soldiers, both away on distant battlefields, or at home in the Blue Ridge. This is a program for all ages and is free to the public. For more information, please call (828) 765-6082. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Hi Jimmy - My husband's mother was a Phillips from Sugar Grove. When she died I found several pages of Phillips genealogy in her papers. It was put together by someone other than her but I do not know who. I have added some to what I found but this is what I have about Nora's family. If you can add anything to it, I would appreciate it very much. I have done some work on his families in that area, but not as much as needs to be done. Jackie Descendants of J.C. "Pete" Mast 1 J.C.

I am looking for information on the McGlamery/McGlamary family. I will gladley share any information with you. I don't seem to have a lot. The name is a hard one. My Grandfather was Ulysses G.(Mac) McGlamery/McGlamary. He married Carrie Bell Moore in 1909 in Mountain City, Tn. They then lived in Bristol, Virginia. His Parents were Frank and Amanda J. Bishop McGlamery from Trade, Tn. They were married in Wilkes NC. The parents of Frank were David and Susan McGlamery Wilkes, NC The McGlamary/McGlamery family is ellusive but I do think that all the McGlamerys are related.

My name is Brenda Alexander. My Grandmother was Carrie Bell Moore McGlamary (born May 1888). She was born in Sullivan County Tennessee, to James(born Oct 1845) and Mary Moore (born May 1859). She had a lot of brothers and sisters. This is all I know of my Grandmothers Family except that they her parents were born in North Carolina.. My Grandmother always told us that she had family in Oklahoma, but we don't know who they are. I am so sorry for not paying closer attention and asking more questions when I younger. She long gone now but I loved her dearly and I want to know more about her and her family. Moore Brothers: Dennis, William, Leander, Moore Sisters: Bertha, Katie, Cordia, Addie, Alverda, (Carrie) She married Ulysses G. (Mac) McGlamery/McGlamary Jan. 7 1909 and they lived in Bristol, Virginia. I am very much interested in the Moore family and have been looking for a long time but I don't seem to be able to find anything. I am hoping that you will be able to help me. Any information that you would share I would be grateful for. Thank You, Brenda

As I am searching for information on my Farthing family I ran in to ole Hiram!!! (son of Brazilla McBride and Rachel Wilson) In the 1850 Census of the 4th Civil District, Johnson County, Tennessee he is listed (no wonder I couldn't find him in North Carolina!). He is married to Mary H. Farthing, with children Nancy (4), Polly(3) and William(1). My question is.... there is a James H. Farthing (14) who is living in the same household. This doesn't seem to be a brother of Mary, as none of her siblings were born that late, nor does it seem to be a 1st cousin, as I have no record (that doesn't mean that it can't be so). Hiram is listed as being born in North Carolina, he is occupied with farming, and has $800 worth of property. Any help that you could give me would be appreciated....
