This question was on another list I belong to. I thought it was very intresting....So now I'm asking<G> This Thursday is Thanksgiving when family and friends gather to give Thanks. If you could invite an ancestor who would you most likely invite? Give the name, where they lived and dates or approximate dates... PHAIRZELLA BYRGE daughter of HENRY BYRGE b:January 6 1857 died February 28 1937. Her death certificate has her age as 72 . She was 80 yrs old. She married FRELAND WARD approx( I haven't found proof were or when she married) 1874. Grandpa HENRY WARD was born 1875. I would ask her why she left her sons behind when she ran away with her husband's brother. This was in Roane Co TN. She was born in Anderson. JAHELA WARD was 40 in 1850 Morgan Co..Never saw him again by that name. In 1870 Roane Co he was listed as JOHN WARD. Couldn't find him in 1860. I would ask him who his parents were? JOHN DELK 1830 Campbell Co. I would ask why he stole a hog. He was sentenced to a year in the penitentiary. I know he had a large family...Were they hungry???He died in prison. His family moved to Fentress Co. Milly WARD Piros My mind is lightning one brilliant flash and pooooffffffffffffffffffffff it's gone.
