Dear List Members, On Monday, December 23, I begin my Christmas Holiday week. I am spending it with my four children, their wives and husbands and my 9.5 grandchildren. It will be the first time in over 10 years I have had all my children with me for Christmas. I am thrilled to say the least. It is hard, as many of you know, when all of your children and grandchildren live thousands of miles from you. As you have already guessed, I will not be spending as much time as usual online watching over your list, but I will be back to full time on Tuesday, December 31st. I have also chosen not to have a list-sitter watch you while I am away. I really do not think you need one. I will be checking in each evening after the grandchildren and down for the day. If there is a problem which you think I need to address, send a personal message to me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. I will check those first thing each night. If off topic messages are sent or if suddenly someone calls for a Roll Call, please just let it pass. Just smile and remember what I would say and hit that delete button. I will take care of the problems for you as soon as I check in. I have the best lists on Rootsweb and the greatest members so I know you will be just fine. I wish for each of you and yours a special Holiday Season filled with love, friendship, friends and family. I thank each of you for your friendship and for your support this past year. You fill my my world. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Peggy, Sorry it took so long to get the records of George and James Chamblin in the 2nd SC Rifles. I finally got to the library today and copied them. I'll put them in the mail tomorrow. Ronnie

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: NIX, KNIX, ALEXANDER, GASSAWAY, CURTIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DgB.2ACI/864 Message Board Post: For the past several years I have been building a descendants tree for Jennings NIX, b 1803 in Georgia, married Lucinda (Letty) Alexander 1824 in Pickens District, South Carolina. In 1851-52 Jennings and his family moved West to Blount County, Alabama, where Luninda died in 1856. Jennings married a second time and had three additional sons. All of the families remained in the North Alabama area except for two sons that continued to move West. But there is a reason for my posting on the Pickens board. I found Jennings and Lucinda in the 1850 census for Pickens South Carolina as follows: KNIX, JENNIGS   State: SC Year: 1850   County: Pickens County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule   Township: Western Division Page: 374   Database: SC 1850 Federal Census Index Western Division of the district of Pickens South Carolina enumerated by me, on the 27th day of July 1850, Thomas Lee It is not possible to read the page number on the top right corner of the sheet because the sheet is placed so that section of the sheet is cut off. If you view the census at <ancestry.com> It is, however, image #6 of 160 in the Western Division of the South Carolina, 1850 Federal Census . The census index gives the page # as 374, but this sheet is before that, maybe #372 or #373. Line #13, Dwelling #46, Family #47 Jennings Knix, age 50, sex M, Farmer, $600, born Georgia, Cannot read or write. Line #14 Lucinda, Age 50, F, born Georgia, cannot read or write. Line #15, Family #48, David Alexander, age 86 M, none, born Virginia, cannot read or write. Line #16, Mary Alexander, age 85, F, born Virginia, cannot read or write. Line # 17, William Alexander, age 17, M, born South Carolina, Line #18, Dwelling #47, Family #50, Ts. Alexander Knix, age 19, M, Farmer, born South Carolina, Line #19, Elizabeth Knix, age 16, F, born South Carolina. There is no doubt that this is Jennings and Lucinda, and it would appear that the second family would be her parents, The ages are off from what other researchers have by four years, but so are Jennings and Lucinda. The other family would be Thomas Alexander NIX, the youngest son of Jennings and Lucinda and his young wife of one year, Elizabeth Gassaway, daughter of William W. Gassaway and Cosly (Cosby) Curtis. Two questions: 1)Who is the William Alexander age 17 on line # 17, I looked for a grandson of David and Mary, but could not find one that matches. and 2) Can I assume that this David Alexander is the same as the Daniel D. Alexander b 1760, and Mary Unknown that I had previously assumed as the parents of Lucinda and the in-Laws of Jennings? Would his full name be Daniel David Alexander???

I would like to connect with others who have DiWitt CANTRELL b. May 1817 SC in their database or who descend from him and his wife Sarah Ann POWELL b. Nov 1826 in Pendleton Co., SC. . Sarah Ann POWELL, daughter of Almon POWELL and Elizabeth GORDON was married about 1850 in Pickens Co., SC. DiWitt and Sarah Ann migrated to Randolph Co., AR between 1870 and 1880. They settled in Warm Springs with their family. Sarah Elizabeth b. 1851, Frances Calhoun b. 1853, General Laviga b 1859, Mary Jane b. 1861, Virgil Flynn b. 1866, Martha Rosella b. 1869 and John Gerin b. 1872. DiWitt CANTWELL died Jan 1875 Pocahontas, Randolph Co., AR and Sarah Ann POWELL CANTWELL died dec 1902 also in Pocahontas. Kathleen Burnett List Mom
