Sue, It was nice you folks mistakenly send your emails to the list. It makes interesting reading even to ones like me that have no ancestors in the lines you are discussing/sharing. I am sure the moderator has no objections to that happening, but if I am wrong I am sure she will let me know. Robert In a message dated 6/10/2008 10:28:54 A.M.

But if you are a JONES descendant and would be interested in having copies of the little movies I made at the Lynchburg VA (South River) Meeting House, let me know, and I will send them along. :) Thanks, Sue Wyatt ZC Sterling Cash Processing Dept Direct Dial (919) 297-3599 Fax (866)667-3450 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wyatt, Susan D.

The best part was getting to meet so many wonderful cousins - especially you and Nancy Magnusson! Yes, I did get to meet Mr. Cook - I was so thrilled that he is an organic farmer, because my husband and I are organic "eaters." He is an extremely close cousin to my John - they share a whole raft of ancestors. We would love to go out to his farm one day - see what the old homestead looks like. :) I don't have my notes before me, and I can't remember if you were the person with JONES connections. We just stopped by the Quaker cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia, and there were quite a few JONES headstones there. I took photos of them (well, I actually accidentally took movies, but I think it's possible to "stop frame" so you can clearly see the words...). If you know who the JONES person was, let me know, and I will send them the movies. I am so tickled to hear that my John's ancestors and yours lived in the same area. Was this in both Waynesville and in Newberry, or just Waynesville? Do you have plats showing the locations of the farms? John and I want to go back to Newberry and stay at DeWalt House, too. What a magnificent place! And I want more time to visit the cemeteries, go to the library, etc. Hopefully I will be better prepared the next time... I am learning. We just went to the Hollingsworth reunion in Winchester, Virginia, and this time I had cash and note paper handy. ;) Sounds like you are making real progress in tracking down your Thomas crew - congratulations!

Remind me of who your people are...Wait I have it in my "stuff" Cook, Hollingsworth, Lewis, Henderson, Wells and Wright. So some of your people would have been right there with these Thomas men! And your Cooks are likely to have been near my McKinseys near Waynesville. Did you meet Mr. Cook from Waynesville, Ohio at the reunion? I got his business card and hope to buy tomatoes from him in July or August. He still lives on the original Cook farm---I am thinking that he is 5th generation on the farm. He does organic gardening there. Do you remember him? I will point him out in the photo if you don't. I think that my good buddy Phil Hawkins who descends from a Hawkins family from SC that moved to Ohio is going to invite him to his Hawkins reunion this summer. The reunion is going to reap great dividends in the end! It is so much more fun to e-mail someone you grew to be really fond of in the short time that we were all together. I am really hoping to go and stay in the B&B before the lady sells it one time. I would like to take photos of where the land of the McKinseys was and do some more research in the courthouse and library. It was a really fun trip, huh? Wyatt, Susan D. wrote: >Good job, Marsha!
