The more we communicate, the more likely we are to connect to someone. As I said a few messages back, we have several new subscribers on the list and I encourage them to post a query to the list giving us their earliest known ancestor, time frame, location, etc. > > Also, the "old" (sorry) subscribers might want to take this opportunity to let us know what ancestor they're having the most difficulty with. > > For me, I'd like to know what happened to Evans Phelan, son of Thomas and Mary (Evans) Phelan. He sold land in Bledsoe Co., TN in 1829 and he disappeared. I believe his son to be my ggf James Monroe Phelan born 1824 in Bledsoe Co but since courthouse burned 99% of records lost. I've tried looking in surrounding counties but so far no luck. > > James Monroe Phelan's siblings were: Berryman Shepherd (resided in MO); Gideon Grant (served in Civil War and lived in Union Co., IL during the 1840-1860 time frame; > Francis Marion (supposedly lived in Oregon in 1844); Jeremiah , Epsy Phelan Caraker, Rebecca Phelan Jones and Dicey B. Phelan Corzine all lived in Union Co., IL. > > I've made contact with Berryman Shepherd and Gideon Grant's descendants but no luck with the other 5 siblings. I have records of all siblings, including spouses, children, etc except for Francis Marion. > > Any help appreciated.
