Well, ask a question, get an answer plus another, and bigger, question. :) Went to NARA today to see if I could find Richard Norwood in the 1880 census for New Jersey even though he didn't seem to be in the index. And I found him with his youngest daughter. Cyrus C.

Why didn't they tell the census taker to leave a little more detailed explanation as to how this person fits in the family. So their humble descendant could figure it out 120 years later? How could they leave me hanging like this? <Sigh> :) Irene

--WebTV-Mail-26570-692 Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Hi, Beverly... My Isaiah NORWOOD was b. circa 1812 in SC to John NORWOOD, JR and his wife Catherine POWELL. He was the son of Captain John NORWOOD, Sr and his wife Martha WARREN of Darlington, SC. John, Sr was a Revolutionary War hero, having fought as an officer beside General Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox) as part of "Marion's Men"...a guerilla-warfare group who terrified and devastated the British troops in SC and the area. Catherine was daughter of John POWELL, also a member of "Marion's Men". John, Jr. and Catherine moved in 1813 +/- to the area around Simpson Co, MS. One of their many children was Isaiah NORWOOD. He married Amanda Eleanor MAGEE, daughter of wealthy planter Robert Robin MAGEE, for whom Magee, MS is named. One of their childen, b. in 1844, was Robert NORWOOD, who was a young Confederate cavalry officer in the Civil War from MS. His second marriage in 1894 was to my GGM JoAnn DUCKWORTH. I'll have to access my files to see if there was another Isaiah or if Isaiah had issue named Isaiah. Thanks for writing...I'll forward what I find. Best from...

Just a note: There is a branch of Norwoods from Maine that ended up in Fayetteville, Arkansas, (via Illinois) so if you trace some Norwoods back to Arkansas (or Illinois), you may have roots in New England. I have checked for recent names and do not find them in Maureen Norwood's "Francis Norwood, Immigrant to Massachusetts and His Descendants (1635-1987)". I will always check this book when there are queries related to Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, or Texas. So far none of my searches has been fruitful, but I think because the family is well-documented and most of them probably know their ancestry already. Best, Dick Norwood

Since there may be new folks on the list I would like to post my Norwood connection again. Mary Ann Norwood born about 1812 in TN (according to Lauderdale Co, AL census 1850). She married Giles McBride in TN and moved to Lauderdale Co, AL in late 1840's. Her husband Giles McBride served as administrator of the estate of one John P. Norwood as shown by the following: From the book, Hardin County Tennessee Records 1820-1860, compiled by Thomas A.

Hello, It saddens me that this has to happen. You have 20 years of experience and information you could share, but because of <one> person's attitude you choose to withhold such valuable resources from the rest of us? Please, don't judge all of us here by the actions of this one person, who obviously likes to stir up people's emotions for his own pleasure. I have been a member of this list for a little over a month and this is the first time I've seen anyone post such a note, and, yes, I agree that it was quite out of place here, or on any similar list. However, I have one particular key on my keyboard that gets used more than any other--the delete key. If I see something I don't like or offends me, I just consider the source and <delete>. True, I may not agree with your political views, as I'm sure I don't agree with a lot of peoples' and ditto for them. That's why I try to avoid those issues as a point of discussion (especially on mailing lists unrelated, and in person) and aim my pen at those who best need to feel its point--the politicians themselves! I truly believe in the power of the written word, if more people would just exercise it properly. Too many of us sit around in our pitty puddles pointing fingers at all the wrong people, wanting things to change or happen, but make no effort to induce those changes. We feel better by dumping on others, such as this person did with you. He must be a political writer, or was looking in the mirror when he wrote this. He seemed to exude everything he was speaking against! Anyway, please don't short-change the rest of us out of much needed data. My NORWOOD line has been a hard one for me to find things on, since it is an old lineage. I'm just now beginning to find resources on NORWOODs. Can you help? Thanks, Charlie PS: Tell me about your "rare coins" interest (but email me directly). I have a very meager coin collection, and I really wouldn't call it a 'rare coin' collection. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 09, 2000 8:04 PM Subject: Leadhitter e-mails > Dear NORWOOD kin... > I wanted to show you the kind of "informed" > garbage that has been sent my way since I objected to the anti-Gore > slurs posted here. > I'm not angry about the vitriol directed toward me personally...I'm > angry that anyone would allow political perjoratives to invade this > other- > wise useful genealogical research vehicle. > I really wanted to contribute some of my 20 > years of NORWOOD research and also to > share data with everyone. > Obviously, I've wandered into a room that > seems to be less-inclined genealogically > and more-inclined politically. > I will not be a part of this travesty. > > > > From: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 17:52:21 EDT > Subject: You lose..... > To: [email protected] > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 114 > > Great comebacks!

I'm sorry to see you've been subjected to such childishness, unfortunately it exists everywhere in life so of course it would have to be occasionally encountered on the internet. I hope you won't hold the actions of one against everyone else on what is normally a great list that would like to benefit from your years of research. As in all cases such as this, if you have kill-file availability than that's where this person would belong, if you don't, just delete his messages unread and save yourself some grief. BTW, should you have the misfortune to run across such silliness resulting from a list in the future, notifying the listowner that he may have a problem subscriber by sending a copy of the email to him/her directly or to the command address for the list is always a good idea. Posting the offending private email to the list itself is considered bad netiquette by some and may result in further emails you really don't want to read either. :) Best of luck!

Dale , Sounds like you have done alot of research and had some luck , and sure alot of talent went with that luck. My mother is a Norwood ' I am a Russell as a result of her marrage. Her father was Gus Norwood from around Sweetwater TX. His father was named Albert. I found Albert in Lorraine TX. in the LDS records. Albert only was showing one child at the time a Gwendolla Norwood. The only other info I have is Alberts father was John Norwood. John was a contractor built many beautiful houses in Paragould Ar and around Houston Tx. Any way don't mean to pump you for info , but if this sounds like any of your norwoods , please let me know.

Anyone have info on Norwoods from Georgia? Specifically, I have the widow of an unnamed Norwood and their children: Census Record: 1850 ARK, Independence Co, Washington Township: Johnson Wright , 29, farmer; wife, Harriet E (Norwood) , 24 b GA; Eliza 1 b AR; Elizabeth Norwood, age 56 b GA; William Norwood, age 23, farmer, b GA. Is Elizabeth Norwood the Elizabeth Williams who m George Norwood, July 14, 1814, Jasper Co GA ??? Thanks, Laine

Everybody. Please be very careful when talking about fellow list members. We ARE family to one degree or another, and we are all entitled to our opinions. We should especially refrain from unkind adjectives. The very best thing is to ignore those things that are off topic. I promise that I will contact anyone who mistakenly introduces inappropriate material to the list and explain our policy to them again. The Gore posting to the list was a genuine mistake, and apologies have been made and accepted. Now, does anyone have any great discoveries in his or her Norwood research? Any puzzles you'd like to "talk out loud" about? The list can be a good sounding board. It's always encouraging too to hear about others' successes, or how someone met on the list has been able to help unravel a research problem. Pat Crewe has sent me a large part of her new index for The Norwoods III, by GMN Callam, and this will be made available on the Norwood Family Page. She's done a lot of work on this and I think it will be a great aid in using Mrs. Callam's book to locate people. Thank you for your continued membership and contributions to Norwood-L (or -D, as the case may be). Best to all, Dick Norwood List Manager
