Searching for the father of Francis Weyland Lytle b. 10-21-1819 in Legonia Valley, Westmoreland Co. PA. who married first Florida Martin ROUTE; second, Charlotte Caroline DANFORTH. Please respond by email address: [email protected] Thanks! Tissie

Hi Everyone: Still digging, & trying to obtain the relationship between Vincent Hobbs Jr., & my GGG Grandfather Christopher Hobbs ! They were together on Court Records in the late 1700's to the early 1800's, even Witnessed John Benham's Will together, ( who married into the Hobbs family ). This is a job for Columbo or Sherlock Holmes, I'm beginning to think ! Christopher was born in Va., in 1771, ( some say it's 1776 ), but we unable to document it exactly, or who was Christopher's father ! Both Christopher, & Vincent were together in Va., Ky., Tn., & back to Va., so they would seem to have been very close ! Any help, would be greatly appreciated !!! I have alot of data on Christopher's descendants through Va.,Ky.,Tn., Ill., Ark., & Mo. I was born in Cave-In-Rock, Hardin Co., Illinois, & now reside here in Mo., & just recently found that Christopher's first born son, Jacob, was born in 1799, & is buried just South of us near Warsaw, Mo. ! This research sure gets exciting at times, & very frustrating also !!! Sincerely, Freda Hobbs Tofsrud [email protected]

Looking for information on John Watson who was born in 1851 in TN. He was married to Susan Elizabeth Cash sometime around 1871 probably in Logan County, Ark.

They had 11 children, Belle, James, Ida (my grandmother married to Robert Parrott in 1899), J.T., Samuel, Maudie, Cora, Anas or Onades, John T., Frannie, Robbie B. John Watson died in 1920 and Susan in 1928. They are buried in Caulksville, Logan County, Ark. I've been looking for information on both of there parents. Thanks, Barbara Parrott McGinity Houston, Texas

With the recent postings of some harshly worded messages - coming from BOTH sides of the web, I hope we can all stop for a moment and remember why we are all here - looking for contacts to our FAMILY.

I have been reading the range of responses of a few people out of the thousands who subscribe who are apparently irritated because they are unable or unwilling to follow a few simple rules of list etiquette. Since new people join the list everyday, what is the problem with the list owner sending out a message that we can ignore if we have already read it. Genealogical research demands of us patience, self discipline and the ability to attend to details. We all start out knowing little and hopefully learn with practice. Most of us have made mistakes, but hopefully we learn from them. Personally, I appreciate the reminders to be specific in what goes on the subject line. I am sorry that a few of you are unaware of all the really nice and helpful people that subscribe to the list. Just because there are a few "jerks", it is unfair to judge the many nice people who share their time and expertise, including the list managers who care about genealogy and volunteer to help others. Most anyone who has accomplished ANYTHING meaningful in life has had to follow some rules, even ones that may be inconvenient at times. This evening I spent over an hour looking up and e-mailing information to someone who shares a surname. In general I find as much pleasure in helping others out as discovering one of my own ancestors. On the other side I have had people go out of their way to help me even when I had nothing to give them in return. Most of us would know little of our heritage had not our ancestors, our governments, our volunteer historical society workers, our town clerks kept records. Genealogy is a wonderful hobby. Let's share willingly and cheerfully. Sincerely, Margaret Scheffler I
