Cousins, Anyone who is researching Charles THOMAS and Juddith PATTERSON RIPLEY of Henry Co., Va. Ca1760- 1820. I have found Judith refered to as Judith PATTERSON and Judith RIPLEY and have read that they came from Appomattox, Va. to settle in Henry County with a lot of dead ends. I recently made a discovery. In the 1750's there was no Appomattox County and not even a town named Appomattox that I could find. I found some records of Albemarle County that may clear this up. On 14 July 1755, Thomas PATTERSON, Deceased, was being sued for a debt and the court ordered the Executors to pay. The Executors were Richard RIPLEY and his Wife Mary PATTERSON RIPLEY and David PATTERSON. On 11 February 1752, John RIPLEY deeded 179 acres to his son, Richard RIPLEY, with a clause that after he was deceased, the land was to decend to his daughter Judith RIPLEY. On 1 October 1759, Sarah RIPLEY deeded 150 acres to John BALLOW, The tract of adjoined a tract given to Judith RIPLEY by her Father Richaard RIPLEY brother of Sarah RIPLEY. The land is from a tract granted to John RIPLEY father of Sarah RIPLEY by patent bearing date 20 May 1749. Witnessed by John Thoma Albemarle County Deed Book 1748- 1752 Vol 1 and 2 Pages 129 and 56 Res. Anyone with any information? Mike Thomas Miketom7@aol.com

Hello to all who subscribe to the same lists as I. I sent out a query about a book that I was looking for.(query below) I had so many responses. Some suggested the Library of Congress, others suggested inter-library loans. Two actually came up with Titles and authors. I think the one I want is the first on listed, sent to me by Gwen. However I want to check them both out. I hope I can find them as I have been told they are no longer in print. I appreciate the help I receive so very much. These mailing lists really work. It is like have a network family. I printed the e-mail responses about the two books below so that others who are interested can also look for them. Thanks again one and all. Lynda (THOMAS) CAMPBELL forever searching. TTFN, Lynda hilnders@pe.net Lynda's Genealogy Homepage http://www.pe.net/~hilnders Lynda, Don't know if you have a response yet. "Pioneers of the Ozarks" by Lennis L. Broadfoot is in the Sutro Library, San Francisco, Ca. , F47 209 B76. They do inter-library loans all over the country. Gwen Hi, Noticed you are looking for book that I have. I understand it is not longer in print. I bought mine in Arkansas several years ago. Anyway the book I have is called "Pioneer Life and Pioneer families of the Ozarks by Earl Berry. I located the William Skelton (Billy) Mays family which was from Armon T. Mays in 1978. There is a little over 3 pages on this family. Is this your line? If so I will be glad to type this for you if it will help you. Sincerely, Joy Sheppard <Original message from Lynda Campbell hilnders@pe.net > I was told of a book that mentioned my 4th great grandfather Reynolds MAY and his brothers and their families.

Picked this up from another list. Lengthy but informative. ---------------------------------------- This was found at http://www.msnbc.com/news/246411.asp THE NEW WEB SITE (www.familysearch.org) won't officially launch until mid-April, but it is expected to "go live" for testing any day now. Church officials originally planned to leave the site open to all during he test period. But for fear of being swamped, they now may limit access to official testers with assigned passwords. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints collects genealogical records of all kinds because the Mormons believe it is important to perform religious rites on behalf of dead ancestors. It has the world's largest collection of such data. Genealogy is one of the most popular subjects on the Internet. As more information goes online, it seems to create more genealogists. About 100 million Americans have at least dabbled in it, and 19 million actively research their family history, according to a 1995 Maritz Marketing Research study for American Demographics magazine. Rootsweb (www.rootsweb.org) has more than 200,000 subscribers to 3,000 e-mail lists about genealogy. The number of subscribers is growing rapidly, according to John V. Wylie, a professional genealogist from Grand Prairie, Texas. Wylie is a co-founder of GENTECH (www.gentech.org), a non-profit society to help genealogists use technology. Mormon Church officials are vague about what Web surfers can expect to find on their new site, but that hasn't dampened genealogists' enthusiasm. I think the reaction is probably going to be unanimously, 'Wow! It's about time!"' said Marthe Arends, editor of the newsletter Pioneers Online (www.eskimo.com/~mnarends), based in Bellevue, Wash. The newsletter helps genealogists use the Internet. With 2.1 million rolls of microfilm, 700,000 microfiches and 280,000 books, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (www.lds.org) is the ultimate source for many genealogists. The master collection, which includes the birth, death and marriage records of an estimated 6 billion people, is kept in a vault carved 900 feet into the side of Granite Mountain. Completed in 1964, the vault is a testament to the importance the Church places on tracing one's ancestors and performing for them vicarious ordinances of baptism and marriage so that those who lived and died before Joseph Smith founded the church in 1830 can enjoy the benefits of God's grace. The vault contains six separate chambers, each 200 feet long, 30 feet wide and 15 feet tall. The entire vault, dug into the side of the canyon, lies 800 to 900 feet under the mountaintop. The microfilm records are maintained at a temperature below 70 degrees Fahrenheit and at a humidity below 35 percent. Due to the need for a controlled environment, visitors are not permitted, but MSNBC's 360-degree surround video gives you a sense of what one sees at the mouth of the vault. Anyone can use the materials at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City free of charge. They may also borrow materials for a small handling fee at any one of the library's 3,200 branches. A tiny, but important portion of that is available by computer. In 1978, the church began computerizing some of its records in a program dubbed FamilySearch. The program is currently only offered at libraries and branch libraries. The church won't sell FamilySearch to individuals because it can't afford to offer everyone support for DOS, the older operating system the program requires. That makes it the perfect candidate for putting on the Web. With 2 billion rolls of microfilm, 700,000 microfiches and 280,000 books, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (www.lds.org) is the ultimate source for many genealogists. One of the first FamilySearch databases expected to be offered on line is Ancestral File. The simple database lets surfers type in names and find family trees compiled by other researchers, mostly amateurs. As useful as that can be, the information is only as good as the person who submitted it," said Arends. "I'd personaly like to see more primary sources being put online." The International Genealogical Index, also part of FamilySearch, lets researchers search millions of marriage, death and birth records taken from records in the United States and abroad. The church won't say if the index will be offered on the Web site. Even with thousands of church volunteers typing the information from original records into computers, "We can digitize only a tiny fraction of what we capture each year," said David Rencher, manager of public outreach for the Family History Department of the Mormon Church. Still, the output is impressive. Over the past year, the church not only updated FamilySearch, but also released five sets of CD-ROMs reaching back 450 years and ranging from Australian Vital Records to the 1851 British Census. In 1999, it will release the full 1880 U.S. Census and the 1881 British Census, both on CD-ROM. Church volunteers are also working on a 17 million-person database of Ellis Island immigrants that will be released on CD-ROM by the church, posted online by the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation (www.ellisisland.org) and made available at the new American Family Immigrant History Center due to open late next year on Ellis Island.

Perhaps you can start with this Library of Congress site to get the exact title and author information you need then try one of the many on-line book vendors. http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/gateway.html#lc hilnders wrote: > I was told of a book that mentioned my 4th great grandfather Reynolds MAY > and his brothers and their families.

I was told of a book that mentioned my 4th great grandfather Reynolds MAY and his brothers and their families. I was told it was called "Early Pioneers of the Ozarks" or maybe "Pioneers of the Ozarks" I don't know who the author was or when it was written. Has anybody else heard of this book or seen it anywhere. I am desperate to find it. I was told it had a very accurate account of my family and their migration from TN>AR and some onto MO. My 4th great grandfather founded the town of Maysville, Benton Co. AR and his wife was Hannah ENGLISH d/o Joshua and Sarah ENGLISH. The book tells of a brother John MAY JR. and his wife Mary FORD. I believe it speaks of a brother William or Bill also. I would appreciate any help in finding this book. Thanks so much.

Any of this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance, Jenny C Thomas

Mark Campbell hilnders@pe.net is looking for information about his Thomas line. When James Robertson set out from Watauga for the Cumberland to find a settlement; he was accompanied by seven other white men. These men were George Freeland, William Neely, James Hanly, Mark Robertson, Edward Swanson, Zachariah White and Capt. William Overall. They left Watauga in early spring of 1779 and reached the Cumberland on Christmas day. They planted a crop of corn that summer near where Nashville now stands. Overall, Swanson and White were left to keep the Buffaloes from the corn. Robertson and the others returned to Watauga for their families and to induce others to come with them. They hoped that they might have a strong colony to make a defense against the Indians when they would attack their forts. Among the several hundred returning with Robertson and his party to the Cumberland settlement were William Overall's two brothers, Nathaniel and Robert and the Thomas brothers, John and Joshua. The Thomas and Overall families became closer connected by marriages. William Overall married Susannah Thomas, sister to John and Joshua. Nathaniel Overall married Annie Thomas, another sister, and Nancy Overall, sister of the three Overalls, married Joshua Thomas. Joshua Thomas was killed during the Nickajack expedition, the only man killed in that raid. Capt. William Overall was killed by Indians at Dripping Springs.in 1794 (For more information about this see Lynda"s OVERALL page (Lynda's Genealogy Homepage http://www.pe.net/~hilnders), The Cumberland Compact and William, Robert and Nathaniel OVERALL, Pioneer Settlers at the Bluff by Lula Virginia(RAMSEY) McGEE) Mark is looking for any information about this family especially information about their parents and possible other siblings.

I am searching for information on the Thomas families found below. I have not yet been able to find Albert as a child or his parents or siblings. It has been said that he was born and raised in TX. If you have any knowledge of this family please e-mail me at hilnders@pe.net Thank you, Lynda Albert Gallitan (or Gallatin) THOMAS Albert was my great-grandfather. He was born in Texas on 7 July 1864. His parents may have been Henry and Mary THOMAS. Albert's daughter Myrtle remembered her grandparents being called Henry and Mary. Myrtle also remembered that Albert's siblings were Hattie, Lee (who m Elva and had 2 sons, Ray and Sam), Mary and John. Some of them moved to AR., OK. and MO. He married my great-grandmother, Mattie Irene "Rainey" HUMPHERY. Rev. John Phillips married them on 1 January 1884 in Joplin, Jasper Co., MO. They migrated to Arkansas and finely to Indian Territory, Oklahoma. Albert ran a large farm in Peggs TWP, Cherokee Co., OK. Mattie Irene HUMPHERY may have been the daughter of Peter and Dawn/Daun/Donna (?) HUMPHREY. She was b on 29 June 1867 in MO., possibly in Kansas City. Mattie or "Rainey" as she was called died in Yonkers, Wagoner Co., OK in December of 1920. Albert died on 5 August 1923 in Yonkers, Wagoner Co., OK Death certificate indicates birthplace of Albert THOMAS as Missouri. 1910 Oklahoma census states birthplace is Texas. Albert's middle name may have been Gallitan or Gallatin.His middle initial on 1920 census, Cherokee Co., Oklahoma, is written "C". Albert's Will lists a second wife, Pearl and another son named Albert G. THOMAS Jr. Isabell (THOMAS) ESTEP, Albert's grand-daughter, says that Albert Jr. was not Albert Sr. blood son. Pearl was a pregnant widow or unwed mother when she married Albert Sr. She believes the father to be a William ???? who possibly resided in the same area in OK. Myrtle Thomas Dobson said that she remembered her father Albert, saying he stayed with a family named McEntire in Texas as a young man. Children of Albert Gallitan THOMAS and Mattie Irene "Rainey" HUMPHREY: (9 known children born between 1886-1910) 1..

The boy was b on 3 APR 1923 and was given the name Albert G. THOMAS Jr. P.S. I have seen so many people with the given and middle names on Albert Gallitan. Does anyone know if there was an popular political figure, military figure etc. by this name. I was just wondering why I have seen the exact same first and middle names on so many individuals from different families. I tried to look it up but found nothing. Thanks.
