The current issue of the National Geographic has a map enclosed "Western Migration" 1841-1869 which shows the Fort Smith-Santa Fe Trail, the California Trail, Mormon Trail, OregonTrail and southern Overland Trail, all west of the Mississippi. Another map on the reverse is the Pathfinders, 1803-1848, showing Indian lands and routes taken west from MO by different expedition leaders. Sharon Posey Smith

A Posey-Preston reunion is being planned for November 10-12, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Veteran's Day weekend at the Daingerfield TX State Park. Cabins have been reserved in the park, but there are several motels nearby which have reasonable rates. There are also RV spaces in the park which rent for $11 a day with water, and electricity and a $ 2 per person (over 13) entrance fee each day. If you have questions, contact Nita Ward nitaward@aol.com. She and Wanda Cheyne, Belle Presley and Laveta Lucky welcome your suggestions and input. And they encourage everyone to bring cameras and family photos and genealogy material and visit and exchange information. the reunion is in tribute to Laura Belle Preston Posey, wife of Eri McNabb Posey, whose 12 children were born in Red River co. TX. Thank you Winnie...I ran this announcement by her first. Hope we see all our Posey cousins soon. Sharon Posey Smith Oklahoma

Dear folks, I'm just checking to see if my email is working. thanks, Charlotte Rigg Nugent

Jim-- I have info of 5 male children of Humphrey Posey of Charles Co., MD and his wife Elizabeth Dunnington: Joseph Harrison (bc. 1763-?), James (6 Mar 1764-?) , Henry (bc. 1768-?), William (prob after 1773-?) , and Arsinue (prob after 1773-?) . As I recall, the 1790 census of Charles Co., MD shows a Humphrey Posey as head of household with a total of 3 males 16 or over, 2 males under 16, 6 females, and 4 slaves. I don't have that citation accessible, so you ought to confirm it. It does match with the info cited above. And, if I understand your problem, that should eliminate half of your unknowns! Hope that helps.

The Reverend Jonas Moon (b. 18 Jul 1777 in PA; d. 27 Apr 1849 in Hamilton Co., TN) was the son of William Moon (1744-1822) and his wife, Sophia Moon. It's likely the family originated in Northumberland Co., PA. They established themselves in Sevier Co., TN by 1805. The Reverend and his wife, Lydia, would later move from Sevier County and settle in Roane Co., TN and still later move to Hamilton Co., TN. The Reverend Jonas Moon was married to Lydia (surname unknown). Lydia was born 9 Aug 1780 in Virginia and died 20 May 1855 in Hamilton Co., TN. She and her husband are buried at the Francisco Family Cemetery, two of their sons having married into that family. Among the children of The Reverend Jonas Moon and his wife, Lydia Moon, was a son who they named "Jonas Posey Moon." It is felt there may be a connection to the Posey family, probably through Lydia. A complete list of the children born to the Reverend Jonas Moon and his wife, Lydia Moon, follows: 1. Mary (Polly) Moon (born 1800; died 10 Mar 1870); m. William (Bill) Denny. 2. Jane Moon (born 1803; died 19 Jun 1874 in Jackson County, Alabama); m. c1819 to Edward Noah Maples (born 1798, died 1838). 3. Sophia "Becky" Moon (born 27 Apr 1805; died 5 Mar 1842 in Harrison, Hamilton Co., TN); m. c1829 to Anderson A. Vinson (born 7 Mar 1804; died 15 Oct 1888 in Cocke Co., TN). 4. William Moon (born c1807; died 1868 in Blount Co., AL); m. c1833 to Mary Ann Bodine (born 1816 in Fairfax Co., VA; died 1898 in Blount Co., AL). 5. Lydia Moon (born c1809; died 1853/1860 in Roane Co., TN); m. 7 Sep 1826 in Roane County to William Jones (born 1798/1802; died 18 Jan 1868 in Roane Co.,TN). 6. Effie Moon (born c1815); m. 17 Aug 1833 in Roane Co., TN to Charles McClure. 7. Jonas Posey Moon (born 26 May 1816; died 14 Aug 1877); m. 26 Oct 1837 in Roane Co., TN to Lucinda Caroline Johnson (born 16 Mar 1820; died 10 Jun 1900). 8. James Harvey Moon (born 22 Aug 1818; died 5 Mar 1904); m. (1) 19 Aug 1840 to Sallie A. Francisco, died 1841; (2) 9 Nov 1843 in Roane Co., TN to Louisa (Eliza) Maria Johnson (born 13 Oct 1821; died 6 Mar 1892). 9. Noah Moon (born 30 Oct 1820; died 20 May 1887); m. 4 Sep 1845 to Matilda J. Francisco (born 31 May 1830; died 6 Oct 1882). 10. John D. Moon (born 14 Mar 1823; died 17 May 1867); m. to Sarah C. Williamson, (born 24 Sep 1831; died 28 Apr 1904). Any information that might pertain to a possible connection between the Moon family and the Posey family would be appreciated. C. Ward CMW12635@aol.com

I don't have any info to add at this time, but thank you so much for that list, it may help in the search for my ggg grandfather. Pam Posey > > Subject: [POSEY-L] Help!!!! 1790 census > Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 10:21:30 -0400 > From: Jim McNeill <j.mcneill@worldnet.att.net> >

Hi Listers, In the 1790 Federal Census of Charles County Maryland there are 23 households headed by Posey's. Of those 23 households there are 14 with male Posey's under the age of 16. Between those 14 households there are 31 male Posey's under 16. One of them is my ggg grandfather H. Ashwell Posey b. abt. 1788. Our problem is that we don't know what the "H." is an abbreviation of. I've spent countless hours at the LDS FamilSearch web site trying to locate all 31 of the male Posey's under 16 listed in the 1790 census. So far I've come up with the names of 21 of them. Only one of the 21 has a name beginning with an "H" and that is Henry b. 1788 {the right yr.}, son of Roger and an unk. wife. Henry is my leading candidate so far, but there's still 10 male Posey's under 16 whose names I don't have. I'm hoping that with your help I can find out the names of the remaining 10 male Posey's in the census. If I can eliminate those 10 along with the other 20 then I'll have found my link back to Francis {if I can verify that H. Ashwell is Henry}. I would appreciate it very much if anybody on the List could send me the name{s} and date of birth of any male Posey under 16 at the time of the 1790 Federal Census of Charles County Md. not listed below.

Posted on: Posey Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Posey/141 Surname: Posey ------------------------- Looking for information about a John Posey married to Clara Belle Posey. They lived in Talladega, Alabama in the 1860's. Sold land to my Great Great grandfather in 1861 or 62.

Looking for more info on Thomas POSEY, who supposedly married Mary HODGKIN. I have been told that my ancestor, William B. CHRISTIAN b. ca 1780-1784, married Sarah H. POSEY, daughter of Thomas and Mary (HODGKIN) POSEY, and lived in Elbert Co. GA. Evidence points to this being true, since a Thomas POSEY deeded land to William "for love and consideration" (this was a common phrase when giving land to a relative) and two of William and Sarah's kids had POSEY in their names: Elizabeth Posey CHRISTIAN and James Thomas Posey CHRISTIAN. James T. P. CHRISTIAN gave the name Hezekiah to one of his sons, too. Does anyone know when and where William and Sarah married? Was Sarah a daughter of Thomas POSEY and Mary HODGKIN? If so, I'd love to know how that can be proven. Anyone on the list descend from these lines? Vickie Elam White

Dear Nancy: What are the dates for your POSEY family. I also am looking for SC Poseys. My family is: William POSEY (b-abt 1802 SC/d-aft 1840 in Benton or Calhoun Co, AL?) Parents?, William married Agnes (no maiden name avail.)(b-abt 1805 SC, d-aft 1840 AL). Married about 1824 in SC. Their children were: Albert Washington (b-1826 SC m-Febry C. Hazle, 4 Jul 1843, Benton Co, AL, d-?); John Wesley POSEY (my ancestor) (b-1827 Benton Co, AL, m-Emily BOLINGER 1851 Benton (Calhoun) Co, AL, d-1901 Cameron, Milam Co, TX); Louisa POSEY (b-abt 1835, AL); Nancy Ann POSEY (b-abt 1838, AL, m-Elijah FORD); Jeremiah H.

THESE experiences of some of the early Huguenots in New York, as here related, are the result of many years of historical investigation by one of the most thorough antiquarian authorities in this country. Colonel Watson, who is now in his eightieth year, has a fund of knowledge regarding the locality in which he has no long lived, and the destinies of which he has so largely shaped, that is invaluable to American annals. He knows the Huguenot as do few living authorities. His own family connections have brought him into intimacy with them. This chronicle is gleaned from the authentic information which has come to him from Huguenot descendants and valuable private papers and journals in the possession of his family. Among his family heirlooms, Colonel Watson has the portraits of several prominent Huguenots. In preparing this narrative for record in THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY, Colonel Watson speaks of it as " some gleanings relating to incidents and experiences in the lives and fortunes of two French Huguenot families who fled from France during the reign of Louis XIV when he promulgated the revocation of the edict of Nantes and began a wholesale persecution of his Protestant subjects in 1685." Colonel Watson is as frank in his convictions as he is honest. In presenting them, he says: " I have, in the course of a long life and diligent study, formed my belief, such as it is, and have no thought of changing at my time of life. I do not find that I can now change it for better and I do not care to change it for worse. Such as I am and such as I have, I offer it to the readers of THE JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY. " Colonel Watson belongs to a strong race of men that have been making the last half-century the greatest epoch in the history of the world. It is in the memories of these men that much of the history of the nation is written. These gleanings from narratives that have come to him during a long and active life in the intimacy of Huguenot traditions are valuable and entertaining. - Editor 123 WE by the grace of God, of these United States, the land of a free people, are living in a truly golden age. We can put our trust in Pope, priest or atheist without fear of the galleys, dungeon, or the stake. Religious intolerance is at a discount; burning witches and hanging Quakers have gone out of fashion in these latter days. We are beginning to make a record for the Twentieth Century that is a credit to advanced civilization. The name of Huguenot, as applied to the dissenters from the Church of Rome, is supposed to have been derived from Hugeon, a word used in Touraine to signify persons who walk at night. Their only safe place of worship for one hundred years had been dark caves and the blue vault of the heavens. The matter of religion with Louis, XIV was merely a pretext. He used the Church as a club for wholesale confiscation. It was a rich field to work in, and the proceeds lined the pockets of the dissolute nobles of his court. The Huguenots, as a class, were the bone and sinew of France. The nobility were wealthy, the merchants and manufacturers prosperous, and the poorer classes sober and industrious. It is estimated that the loss to France by the Huguenot persecutions, first and last, was about 400,000. Manufactures and the arts were paralyzed, and the whole country suffered from its effects for one hundred years. Louis and his predecessors sowed the vipers' eggs that a century later brought Louis XVI and his court to the guillotine. Thus, in a measure, did time avenge the martyred Huguenots. This name was applied indiscriminately to those who adopted the creeds of Luther or Calvin. It seems they got an idea that the Bible would be a pretty good book for the people, and this did not suit the priests and monks of those days. They made a general job of burning both books and readers. Mankind is a contrary quantity, and, as is generally the case, their ideas grew and prospered under opposition and persecution. In the course of time, the Huguenots became a prominent factor among all classes, from noble to peasant. The followers of Luther and Calvin were the bone and sinew of the states, and in a general way, represented the best class of inhabitants. This struggle between advancement and ignorance was at its height about 1450. To quote a French monk of that period: "They have now found out a new language called Greek. We must carefully guard ourselves against it. That language will be the mother of all heresies. I see in the hands of a great number of persons a book written in this language, called the New Testament. It is a book full of brambles with vipers in them. As to the Hebrew, whoever learns that becomes a Jew at once." One hundred years passed and found the new faith growing, and persecution increasing. Phillip II of Spain devastated Flanders, and changed that rich country to a desert. The massacre of St. Bartholomew followed shortly after. In 1581, the exodus from France and Flanders began in earnest, but was stayed, in a measure, by Henry of Navarre, who was proclaimed king in 1584, with the title of Henry IV. As a Protestant himself, he promulgated the celebrated Edict of Nantes, but the people were soon deprived of its benefits when the king became a nominal Catholic for 124 political reasons. The persecution recommenced with greater fury and culminated in the revocation of the edict by Louis XIV, in 1685. Then the exodus began in earnest. There was no safety for a Huguenot in France. The galleys, dungeon or the stake was the alternative. All possible avenues of escape were closed by the king and his troops. He did not want to lose the people; he wanted to save their souls, but the poor deluded Huguenots did not see it in that light. The rich sacrificed their wealth, and the poor the little mite that they possessed, for the sake of life and liberty. Now and then some mentally weaker than the rest recanted, or pretended to do so, and outwardly seemed to be converted to the true faith, and were spared, but they were sharply watched. North, South, East and West, they fled for life and liberty; by highways, byways, wild mountain passes, forest trails, by sea. or land, enclosed in casks, or in the foul holds of merchant vessels bound to some foreign port. Any future prospect was preferable to a life in France. Holland, Germany and England gave them shelter, even benighted Russia gave a home to French exiles, and little Switzerland was full of refugees. Louis XIV sent the citizens of Geneva, a peremptory mandate to expel the Huguenots, under pain of his displeasure. They pretended to escort the exiles, with all due ceremony, outside the city gates, and quietly brought them in again by a gate on the other side. But Holland was crowded in population; the English laborer was jealous of the superior workmanship of the French emigrant; and it remained for America to make a final safe and happy home for the Huguenots of France. The best blood of France is blended with ours and we are proud of the result as it is today. The great loss of France is our gain. There is no better blood than the American in this year of 1908.

Hi Shirley, It's Charlotte (R-N) here. Couldn't sleep tonight, too much on my mind so I came down here to the computer. I found out something I thought was interesting in London. You know the Beauchamp family that shows up in Wood County, WVA with the Rigg and (1 or 2) Posey family members? Maybe you don't know them well but I thought you might have heard about them through Dave Rigg. Dave is related to them through Rachel Beauchamp who married Samuel Rigg, one of Charles Rigg's sons whom he is descended from. I had kind of assumed that Beauchamp was a French or Norman name. I also thought it could be a Hugenot family, as Posey might have been. In America, they pronounce Beauchamp "Beecham". I had thought that this was an Americanism that happened after they arrived. My friend Vic Belcher, tells me that Beauchamp is a common English name that is always pronounced "Beecham", as a matter of fact, many of them now spell it Beecham instead of Beauchamp and it is essentially considered the same name in England. I wonder if Posey didn't devolp the same way. Originally a French name (from whatever French source, Norman or later) that got Anglicized to Posey and then became Posey. Also, a John Beauchamp emmigrated to VA about the same time that Francis Posey emmigrated to VA (then MD). There is some belief that the VA John Beauchamp was a brother of the Edmund Beauchamp who went to the Eastern Shore (Somerset) with the Calverts. At any rate, sort of interesting that the this Beauchamp name shows up like it does. There was one of the "Potomac Barons", a Lee or a Spencer or a Fitzhugh perhaps, that mentions how much he likes the Hugenots and encouraged them to emmigrate. I'll look for the reference. At any rate, we might look into the history of the Beauchamps in England to see if we can find any clues or parallels for Posey's. Just a thought. I think that the Beauchamps are fairly well documented. Charlotte (R-N)
