Hi! Yvonne: Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me more about your Mary Mollie C. Powell? Do you know what the C stands for? I have 4 children for Mary C. and John Calhoun Byers. Harvey Kay, Manora, Arthur and John C. Jr. Do you have any information on these children or others? Do you have a marriage date for Anthony Wayne and Mary Powell? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi Jane~ I think we've been in contact before. Anthony Wayne POWELL is my 3rd great-grandfather. Mary (Mollie) C. was my 2nd gr- grandmother. I have an Effy POWELL B: Abt 1863 which is off the 1880 Sevier Co., Mineral Twnsp, AR census. I haven't been able to find Mary's last name. I think Anthony Wayne is buried in Valley Cemetery, Sevier Co., AR with Nellie POWELL. They are listed: POWELL, Wayne 1812-1908 POWELL, Nellie 1844-1906 Anthony is on the 1850-60-70 Blount Co., AL Census with a wife Eleanor/Eleanar/Ellender, so I don't know if she is Mary or she is the 1st wife, Mary the 2nd & Nellie the 3rd? ~Yvonne

Does anyone have any information on Anthony Wayne Powell and family. I am looking for his wife Mary's last name. I have 5 children for him but feel he had more. I have George Washington (1849), Mary C.(1852), John B.(1856), Nancy Jane (1860)(my line) and Joanna (1869). Jane Foley

My ancestor is James POWELL born 1772 in Wales, he married Mary Moore there in about 1800 and they later emigrated to America with 3 or 4 children. By 1822 this family had settled in Richland County Ohio and developed their farm. James died Nov 28, 1858 and is buried in Franklin Township just north of Mansfield, Ohio. Mary and James had eleven children of which Margaret is my gg-grandmother. She married Jessie Huston in 1831. The other children are: Matilda, Nancy, William, John, Abner, James, Jane, Myers, David and Mary. Names of their spouse include Terman, Cline, McConaghy, Modi, and Schumaker.

Genealogist's Christmas Eve ('Twas the Night Before Christmas) 'Twas the night before Christmas When all through the house Not a creature was stirring, Not even my spouse. The dining room table with clutter was spread With pedigree charts and letters which said... "Too bad that the data for which you last wrote Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat." Stacks of old copies of bills, wills, and such Were proof that my work had become way too much. Our children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And I at my table was ready to drop From work on my album with photos to crop. Christmas was here, and such was my lot That presents and goodies and toys I'd forgot. Had I not been so busy with grandparents' wills, I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills; While others bought gifts to bring good Christmas cheers, I'd spent time researching those birthdates and years. While I was thus musing about my sad plight, A noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright! Away to the window I flew in a flash, Tore open the drapes and yanked up the sash. When what with my wondering eyes should appear, But an overstuffed sleigh and with eight small reindeer. Up to the house top the reindeer they flew, With a sleigh full of toys and ol' Santa Claus, too. And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each tiny hoof. As I drew in my head, and bumped into the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa - KER-RASH! "Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck, Tracking soot on the carpet, (could've wrung his short neck)! Spotting my face, ol' Santa could see Christmas spirit was lacking in little ol' me. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk). Here then was Santa, who'd brought us such joy, When I'd been too busy for even one toy. He spied my research on the table all spread; "A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red)! "Tonight I've met many like you," Santa grinned, As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned. I gazed with amazement; the cover, it read Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Pled. "I know what it's like to have Rooter's Bug," He said as he gave me a great Santa hug. "While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, I do some research in the North Pole Library! So these special treats I am able to bring To genealogy folk who can't find a thing." "Now off you go to your bed for a rest, I'll clean the house from this genealogy mess." As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee, I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me. While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle To his team, which then rose like the down of a thistle. And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight, "Family history is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!" - Author Unknown Modified by Terri Lamb

Wow! You people are wonderful in responding to my question! I sent this question to several websites and I want to share with you the responses I received. I will check them out as I can get to them. Several of you said you wanted the information too. So here is what I received back. Jane Foley Their is many accounts of the wagon train routes here is a web site with some of the story's of some of the Men and boys going out west during the Gold rush from Illinois, ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilschuyl/Oregontrail.html ) looking for some other that I have read , will post when I find them,,,, Richard Graham check out another web site on the California Gold Rush with some of the fellows from Illinois 1848,,,,,,,,,, www.rootsweb.com/~ilschuyl/ look for Schuyler, Co and California Gold Rush first column down almost all the way. Richard This site will provide some of the information you might be looking for: http://www.over-land.com/emigrants.html Roger Jane, Try OCTA@indepmo.org OCTA stands for OR CA Trail Association. They are headquartered in Independence, MO. I think they can help you. Tom Maybe these will help. Winn 1843 Wagon Train Pioneers http://www.peak.org/~mransom/a2m.html ARRIVALS IN OREGON 1852 http://home.netcom.com/~symbios/52intro.html Wagon Train Arrivals as Reported in the Frontier Guardian http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapottaw/WgnTrnIndx.htm Wagon Trains http://www.cyndislist.com/migration.htm#Wagon There were at least a couple of routes that they may have traveled in going from east to west. One would have been the Zanes Trace. The Government hired Col. Zane to blaze a trail through the as yet un traveled way to the west. That trail was nothing more than a path cut though the trees and brush to allow horses and wagons to pass through. There would be stumps left from cutting down the trees. Some places in the route might just be only where Zane and his men hacked at the trees and made marks to show the people where the trail was and where the next people following were to go. Another was the National Road. Which was the first road built "completely" using federal funds. You can find more info on them by going to the following sites. http://www.flintridgevineyard.com/page/page/390943.htm for Zane's Trace and http://www.nps.gov/fone/natlroad.htm for the National Road Mel The Scots-Irish From Ulster and The Great Philadelphia Wagon Road http://www.electricscotland.com/history/america/wagon_road.htm The Great Wagon Road: From Philadelphia to the South http://www.historyus.com/The_Great_Wagon_Road_From_Philadelphia_to_the_South_087517065X.html Jane The only people who MIGHT have kept a list were the suppliers and grocers. Most bought supplies along the way. There are a few books about wagon trains but not many. There one we read about the women going from Mississippi and she kept a diary that was turned into a book. The majority of the women who were/or got P.G. did not make it. I cannot even imagine what those men and women and children went thru. Hope you find records and if you do let me know please. All I can think of is after the Civil War and the Land Lotteries. L Have you tried looking for "wagon trails" using a search engine, such as Google. There are many entries. R Rogers Jane, There are maps on the internet which trace some of the early roads. One early road was called The Federal Road. It went from GA (I think it was Augusta) southwest to AL/MS. You might try a Google search for it. Before the Indians were removed to OK, it was necessary for people who traveled across their land to get a passport. These have survived and have been compiled into a volume called: PASSPORTS OF SOUTHEASTERN PIONEERS, 1770-1823. I do not know if this compilation is complete but at least it will give you a place to look. I don't own a copy but you might be able to get a copy by inter-library loan. Good luck, Dennis Smith As far as I know, no, no record as such. It was more like "if twelve of us all decide to get in our cars and move from Knoxville to Los Angeles, who's keeping the records of who all is moving?" The answer, of course, is that while there are certainly people aware of it, there aren't any official records of it as such.

Where would one go to find a listing of the wagon trains that left in the east and went west along with the dates and the people who were on these. I think that they would have had a record back then. I'm not so sure that they survived to this century. Is there anyone that can shed any light on this question? Jane Foley Cornelius, NC

This arrived in my email box this morning. Happy Holidays to you all from Nebraska. Michael DAVIS ALL I want for Christmas .......................is it true words!!

A new washing machine would be great, But it's not the desire of my life. I've just found an ancestor's birth date; What I need now is the name of the wife. My heart doesn't yearn for a ring That would put a real diamond to shame. What I want is a much cheaper thing: Please give me Mary's last name. To see my heart singing with joy Don't bring me a red leather suitcase. Bring me a genealogist's toy; A surname, with dates and a place! Anonymous
