Does anyone own a copy of William K. Henninger - 1818-1894 by Orttenburgk Publications? If so, would you look to see if a Charles Henninger b. ca 1807 is listed. He married Sophia Napier. Charles may be son of John or Jacob or John Jacob Henninger and Sarah "Sally" Starnes. Margaret

Does anyone have anything on this couple; Thomas Givodan and Leah Hendrick married abt 1794 in Buckingham Co. VA in abt 1794. Thank You, Sarah My New poetry site: http://users.rosenet.net/poetryandroses/ My Genealogy site (check for your ancestors): http://www.gaia.edu/genclass/srose/

Ladies & Gentlemen, following is an example of a fraud email. Look at it and remember the next time you get one so as to prevent you from getting stung by some huckster!!!! Don't fall for any of the sob stories you read on the Internet requesting money. If you wish to give money, use the normal, proven channels such as United Way or your Church or a REPUTABLE organization whom you have had dealings with before. Sorry to go ballistic, but we have to take back the internet!!!! Billy Markland FRAUD MESSAGE BEGINS: Dear friend, As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Muhammed Ismail, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with lung cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never g enerous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of twenty four million US dollars (US$24,000,000), that I have with a deposit company abroad. Acknowledge this message so that I can introduce you to my lawyer who will handle the transfer of receivership by you of the said funds. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity organizations. My lawyer shall put you in the picture of the funds, tell you where the funds are currently being maintained and also discuss modalities including remuneration for your services. For this reason kindly furnish your contact information, that is your address, personal telephone and fax number for confidential purpose. God be with you. Muhammed Ismail END OF FRAUD ATTEMPT !!!!!!!!!!

Eddie - There are Castles in the Fleenor family - can you post this to Janice's website? Hope to see you at the 2004 Fleenor & related family reunion in Wash. Co., VA !?! Carolyn

Volks, I have a page from a book with interesting info on Blacks Fort in Abingdon. The 1st court was held here. It gives the location. If you are researching CASTLE/CASSELL of SW VA you will have a special interest. I had forgot about those Castle, and I do not know who they are. The page is a GIF file so I can't post it. If someone has a website and would like to post it, I will sent it to you and you can show it to the others. Thanks. -eddie owner

I just received permission form the William L. Celements Library at U of Michigan to publish the two depositions from the Thomas Gage collection regarding the Massacre of the James Boone Party in October of 1773. The depostions were given by Isaac Thomas and Thomas Sharp. Thomas Sharp says that he saw the Indians responsible on 5 October 1773 on the Watuaga River (same area Benjamin Drake of Carter County settled in). One of the Indians, a Cherokee named Big Elk, showed Sharp a weapon. Sharp was later in the party that went to the camp to bury the men and found the same weapon laying by the bodies. Isaac Thomas gives the name Samuel Drake as one of the men killed in the attack. An article in the PA Chronicle from December 1773 says that the son of John Drake was among the men killed. Scanned versions of both depostions are now available at the web site referenced below. Choose Family History from the main page, then Other Related Articles and Documents. You will see a link to the James Boone Massacre on the page. Typing "James Boone Massacre" into Google will also take you there. Don -- Donald E.

I know the NOAA has a section devoted to storms and discusses the "Great Hurricane" of 1790. Over 30,000 lives were lost. Does this help? Angelee, Can you give the link for that? Not just NOAA's homepage. Thanks. -eddie

Have you folks tried the following site? It had links to historical weather sites, one of which was a month-by-month list of weather events in the US. The pages for it don't seem to come up right now, but the contact is listed on the site as Aviation Weather Center, Kansas City, which has its own site, also listed below. Since they once had this info online, they must still have it somewhere. They are part of the Nat'l Weather Service, which I think is part of NOAA, so this may seem a bit circular but thought it would help to know that such a list did exist. http://www.nearctica.com/geology/storms/weather.htm http://aviationweather.gov/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I am sending this out to a couple of lists in the hopes of gaining more resources to answer the question below poised to me by Paula. My response is at the end of her letter. After I get responses, I will post a follow up to these lists with the compiled answers so that by sharing we can overcome. Best of wishes, Billy "Where can information about weather history be found? I've been researching and writing my family history for nearly 30 years. I thought I could spice it up a bit with some weather trivia, but it certainly is hard to find! It has also made me realize that history books do not mention the weather, unless you count the Winter at Valley Forge, for example...And yet the weather affects our lives and can be dramatic. I've searched everywhere, all over the Internet, corresponded with NOAA people, even asked local weather reporters for help and still I come up with nada. I am aware that official weather records are probably not even a century old, but surely someone has already researched and gathered together dates and descriptions of historical weather events. I am not interested in technical or scientific data, just stories or brief descriptions and maps, if any. I am also not looking for a particular storm on a particular date. If I were, I suppose I could find newspaper extracts helpful, but without dates, that is impossible." MY RESPONSE: You know, that is a good question. It has passed through my mind a time or two but I had not done any research into it. Off the top of my head, old letters (especially in the military sense), naval records if for areas close to the ocean, diaries of persons in the immediate area, and newspapers still remain your best bet. One on-line resource you need to look into, if you haven't, is the Brooklyn Eagle archives covering 1841 - 1902. That newspaper was in New York but did print stories from around the country and world. That URL is: http://www.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/eagle/

Excellent question. I do not have the answer but will offer a suggestion to be checked. I like to watch the TV History Channel and have noticed that they often have information about weather conditions at least for major events. Perhaps they could offer some leads to follow.

Messages sent in this format allow you to use different fonts and font sizes; underline, boldface, or italicize text; easily create bulleted or numbered lists and links to web sites; and attach files. Not all mail programs support HTML, and not all users prefer to receive HTML-formatted messages. Some programs display messages in HTML format as if they were in plain text, including HTML tags and other format coding that can make the original message difficult to read. If you are sending a message to someone who can't read HTML-formatted messages (also called 'rich text'), you can switch to plain text. You can also specify plain text only for messages sent to a specific address or domain. Messages sent in plain text lose all formatting and attachments. Replies to (and forwarded) plain text messages are also sent in plain text. To change the plain text setting while you are composing a message: Click in the message area of the Write Mail window. Change the plain text setting: Click the T icon just below the Subject label to toggle the message between plain text and rich text formatting; or Open the Format menu and choose Rich Text or Plain Text. When the T icon is red, the message uses rich text. When the T icon is black, the message uses plain text. When you change the plain text setting from a Write Mail window, the setting 'sticks' for all subsequent messages you write. For example, if you switch from rich text to plain text for one message and then open a new Write Mail window, that window will also be set to use plain text. To change the plain text setting for all messages you send to an address or domain: Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click Advanced Options. Click Add.

Messages sent in this format allow you to use different fonts and font sizes; underline, boldface, or italicize text; easily create bulleted or numbered lists and links to web sites; and attach files. Not all mail programs support HTML, and not all users prefer to receive HTML-formatted messages. Some programs display messages in HTML format as if they were in plain text, including HTML tags and other format coding that can make the original message difficult to read. If you are sending a message to someone who can't read HTML-formatted messages (also called 'rich text'), you can switch to plain text. You can also specify plain text only for messages sent to a specific address or domain. Messages sent in plain text lose all formatting and attachments. Replies to (and forwarded) plain text messages are also sent in plain text. To change the plain text setting while you are composing a message: Click in the message area of the Write Mail window. Change the plain text setting: Click the T icon just below the Subject label to toggle the message between plain text and rich text formatting; or Open the Format menu and choose Rich Text or Plain Text. When the T icon is red, the message uses rich text. When the T icon is black, the message uses plain text. When you change the plain text setting from a Write Mail window, the setting 'sticks' for all subsequent messages you write. For example, if you switch from rich text to plain text for one message and then open a new Write Mail window, that window will also be set to use plain text. To change the plain text setting for all messages you send to an address or domain: Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click Advanced Options. Click Add. Type the email address or domain for which you want all messages to be sent in plain text. If you specify a domain (such as example.net), you' ll have an opportunity to switch to plain text whenever you address a message to an email address that includes that domain.

OK, the next to final draft of the Indian Depredations in TN 1791 & 1792 is now on-line. I say next to final as I want to print out a copy and give it one more last stare and compare this coming week against the film to see if I can decipher some of the entries which I could not read the first two times. My site URL is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/ The document will be the first one under the "NEW" section of the main index page. This has turned into more of a detective story than a simple transcript than I imagined it would. Normally when transcribing names I will find a web source to verify that my deciphering of the "old" writing is not in left field. In this case, I got curious as to who some of the people were when first names were not given and also the background information relative to the attacks. Fortunately, the Web has some tremendous resources and I was able to identify many and piece together some of the stories. What you see here is only the first revision as I will be adding other data to the basic framework of the extracted document which will be footnoted and sourced to fill in the gaps. I also have some letters from Gov. Blount to transcribe as well as the reports of Gen. Anthony Wayne on the Battles of Fort Recovery and Fallen Timbers. Have fun looking at the links I provided in the introduction as the contributors at the New River Notes, Sumner County, TN GenWeb, and Eastern TN have put an awful lot of good data out there and deserve kudos. Likely, when this work is finished, it will be contributed to another site. Whether the site is affiliated with me remains to be seen. I have been in intermittant conversations with a friend to start a history only site but work demands on both our parts has kept that from getting off the ground. Hopefully this winter we can get the ball rolling. Until then, we will have to tolerate the pop-ups Ancestry has deemed its free sites deserve. If I sound grumpy on the last, it is largely because I got slapped in the face this morning with the loss of a modern convenience I had taken for granted!! The bloody Sunday newspaper is not here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A full pot of coffee and all Sunday morning to play with and no paper!! Best of wishes, Billy P.S. Another BIG reason to be grumpy!!! I just (5 minutes ago) had to turn down two FREE tickets to the NASCAR race in town today. Excuse me while I go cry!!

  How do I change my AOL email from HTML to plain-text email format? I have AOL 8.0+ ??  I need to send plain-text email from an aol account. Thanks. -eddie Eddie, This also happened to me, and Rootsweb does not accept HTML postings. Go to "Settings" at the top of your tool bar. Select "Preferences" When that list of selections comes up, select "Fonts, Text, and Graphics" Then when that box comes up, change your Text setting to "Arial" and change the Font setting to 10. Then click "Save" If that doesn't work, then choose "Reset" before you do the above. The new 9.0 Optimized version of AOL gives you the choice of which email choices you want to use. Nancy

Becoming very bored with current projects...which I still have to finish...I found a new, to me, reel of film at the Nat'l Archives today. The series number is M1062 roll 1 of 1 entitled, Correspondence of the War Department Relating to Indian Affairs, Military Pensions, and Fortifications, 1791-1797. Great stuff on the background politics of the Southern Indian Wars between 1791-1800 between various governors, the Secretary of War, Indian chiefs / headmen, and intelligence reports. I found, but could not copy due to the poor quality of the original, a list of approximately 120 people killed by Indians in Tennessee between January 1791 and sometime in 1792. The districts covered were Mero? and Washington. Since I will have to transcribe from film, this will take a few hours but I am so ecstatic about the find I wanted to tell everyone. Since all the lists I subscribe to had had people which ended up in TN, I thought it appropriate to "broadcast" the find. Some geographic names mentioned that I am totally unfamiliar with (and hoping someone can bail me out!) are: Bledsoe's Lick, Smith's Fork, Red River mouth, "new trace", Craft's Mills, Duck, Greenfield ( I think both are in Maury county) & Sumner Court House. Most of the streams seem to have been tributaries of the Cumberland River as that is mentioned often. If someone who knows how the old districts in TN were laid out while it was still a part of NC would email me that information, I would be grateful. Anyway, I should have it all transcribed tomorrow and on-line Sunday morning. I will let all know when it is completed. Best of wishes, Billy P.S. Some surnames so far: Pennington, Milligan, Berkley, Cockran, Viths, Wilson, Hickerson, Thompson, Gibson, [Heykenol?], Fletcher, Harry, Jones, White, Dickson, French, Grantham, Rice, Custis [Curtis?], [Sevier? 3 of them], Boyd, McMurray.
