Well, I am happy to announce a special event: Your intrepid listowner who has been keeping such a low profile for the last two or three months or so is getting married. This may be a rootsweb first, where a listowner has decided to marry one of her/his list users! I will be out of pocket part of next week because I am moving from TX to ID. I will keep the [email protected] address alive for a couple of months, but if something special comes up during the week, please send me a message at [email protected] I will try to check that address as often as possible until the dust is settled. After the move is done, I expect and hope to get back on track...with a new permanent email address and new resource tidbits to post.

Also Northern Neck of VA, Southside.....all terms I have had to have explained to me. Being stationed in Norfolk in the Navy, I understood about the Tidewater area, etc. These terms are used over and over again when you are researching your VA family before and just after the Rev War. Thank you so much for passing this site on, as I am sure many of us will find something we did not know before seeing the site. Mary Turney Miller [email protected]

Bart, Do you mind sending me a copy of your journal, as an attachment? Thanks, Jean [email protected]

I don't know who his parents were or if he had siblings. All I know is he was born in Md or Va about 1835. He is on the 1860 Census of Claiborne County at Port Gibson, Mississippi living in the household of his in-laws, Henry C. EARLY, having married their daughter Mary E. on April 26, 1860. He served in the CSA enlisting in a local Artillery Battery, AKA Abbay's Battery, Co K, of the First Regt of Mississippi Light Artillery, having enlisted about fall of 1862 serving in the siege at Port Hudson, La then later the siege at Vicksburg, Ms. He was captured and parolled. After the war ended about 1866 or later he left Port Gibson with his family and moved to Grand River Twp., Cass County, Missouri he and his family appeared on the 1870 Census there. Also, the family was still there on the 1880 Census but something had happened to Franklin or Frank Mayberry (my ggrandpa) he was not listed. His wife my ggrandma Mary E. Early had remarried a man by the name of D. N. McGill on Dec 18, 1878. However; on the 1880 Census he was not listed, there was a one year old son named Noble McGill listed as her son. I obtained a copy of the marriage license from Harrisonville, Mo. last year. I think my ggrandpa must have died although I haven't been able to find him buried anywhere. I am still looking at all the Obits and cemetery books and lists that I can find of Cass Co., and any surrounding counties. I would appreciate anything anyone might have that would shed some light on his whereabouts prior to the Census of 1860. I would like to find out if he had siblings (bro & sis) their names and what his parents names were. I have checked with Don Collins Mabry web site with no luck.

I have a one page article that some might be interested in. Because of copyright - I do not want to send to the entire list, but will give the surnames mentioned. If they are yours, please contact me at [email protected] First, many of the people in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia 1740s-1780s came from Pennsylvania, and from Europe before that. Many of them were German speaking, my line was Swiss. Their early records are sometimes difficult because of the difference in language and the spelling of the last name. As I have told others, you must be a bit creative in finding their early records - in how the name might have been spelled by English speaking clerks. In the process of changing from German or Swiss to English, they name might go thru several changes. That is why sometimes in early wills, you will see the same surname spelled two different ways - I think our ancestors were also sometimes confused in how to make the name change. Also, I have been in contact with some of the Bumgarnder/Baumgertner family and they also are Swiss. They have had reunions over there - found the house their ancestor lived in. Seeing a photo of it gave me some knowledge of what my Swiss ancestors might have lived in. I also know that around 1700 Joist Hite along with Bauerman/Bowman came to America, around 1730 they were in Shenandoah Valley of VA. Much has been written about Hite, my Swiss family came in 1741, and followed much the same route except they landed in Philadelphia while I think Hite came in thru New York. Following the route Hite took has helped me in finding my family even though it was years later. And this is about southern families as those early ones in Shenandoah Valley of VA spread out all over the south. Mine went to KY, MO, TN, AL, AR, TX, and all over. EARLIEST SETTLERS WESTERN FREDERICK - EASTERN HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA Their Descendants by Grace Kelso Garner Two shiploads from Europe to PA, with their descendants going later to VA. Most of these list all the family members SHIP SAMUEL - Qualified August 11, 1732 Hans Mich. Baumgertner Michel George Baumgertner - Jacob Gut (Good) - 20 and wife Susanna Guth Frederick Kieffer (Cooper) Johan Sebald Kremer (also spelled Kramer) Frederich Mulchslager Jacob Stauffer (Stover) Jacob Weyes (Wise) SHIP SAMUEL - Qualified August 17, 1733. Marcus Clyne Hand Peter Fry Jacob Fegley Andrew Fry Hans Peter Fry Christian Ganner (Garner) Joh. Conrad Kampff (Kump) Matthew Ley (Loy) Johannes Lerick (Larrick) Peter Mock (Mauk) Lawrence Snapp All I have on these people is what is in the article as none of them are my family. But I have seen Guth/Good and Bumgardner in Shenandoah Co Va tax list of 1785. And according to the author of the article, they all had members who later were in VA. Hope this is a lead for someone. By the way - these I know are some southern families and how the names changed Swartz - Black Bahr - Barr or Baer Guth - Good Bauerman - Bowman Sommer/Sonner - Summer/Summers Thurner - Turner Thuny - in PA some to Dorney, in VA to Turney. Thuny - Swiss German. Th as in thorn, y has an a sound. So it would be spoken more like Thorn-a thus Ternay, Tunni, Dorney, etc. It is so close to Turner in the English mind, that sometimes that would be the way it was written in records. It began as French - DeTourna or some such. I have found Irish families of Tony, Tonay, Toney etc - the English changed it to Turney. Mary Turney Miller [email protected]

Harold, Do you have anything on Klein/Little/Small?? There is a Captain Daniel Little buried in the 'Old English Cemetery,' in Salisbury, NC, who was my 6G Gf. His father is thought to be (maybe/perhaps) Ludwig Klein. The captain was thought to be born in 1731 and died in 1775. At one time there was a 'Little Organization' of the descendents of the good captain. If any of you out there know if the 'Little Organization' is alive and well, please get in touch with me.
