Hi Lists I am sending this letter to see if anyone can help Stacey.. Her email addie morgana112167@hotmail.com Hi Milly, My name is Stacey Hood-Marchig. I got your e-mail from a Hood board & thought you may be able to help me w/these crazy Hood's. I have a Millard Hood b.9/28/1874-5 d.5/11/1948 m. Sarah Elizabeth Smith b.11/25/1875 d.5/8/1959. I traced the family & kids thru 1900, 10 & 20 census's. In the 1880 census he's 5 & has quite a few sibs. Parents are John44 & Nancy28. In the same dist. but census # b4 them are Elisha71(m) & Sarah70 Hood. John's parents? Same dist. but census # below is Jeremiah55 & Nancy47, perhaps a brother to John? My dates for Millard & Sarah came from the Hood bible & census. Their marriage date may be 1/28/1893 "in the home of John Hicks" in Keese TN. I found that in a Gazzette on microfilm announcement listing. It needs verification, as Millards name was spelled MillER. In my endless pursiut of these folks, I cannot recall ever having seen a "miller" Hood. I've only seen Millard a few times. Oral tradition stated Millard married a cherokee woman & they didn't see much of that side of the family. Lord knows I've been through the Roll books-Sarah Eliz. is not listed. I was looking more for Starnes there, as we know that's where the Cherokee comes in, can't prove it yet. Mary Levisa Starnes m. Samuel Houston Johnson. Mary L. Starnes b.5/9/1866 d.7/28/1948 Sam b.? d.?1933. Milly, These folks are like a barrell of monkeys...I'm hopefull you might be able to help me pin down my Millard & find his people. The Great Spirit knows trying to unearth ANY records on Johnson & Starnes has been more of a joke on me!!! Thanx for your time & any effort given to the Hood's Bleesed Be! Stacey Milly WARD Piros My mind is like Lightning.....One brilliand flash and Poofffffffffffff It's gone.
