I am a Descendant of Samuel PM Roach and Mary E. Joyce. They are my Greatgreatgrandparents. My Father's Mother's Mother's parents.......if you can follow that . The info that I have read here is same as mine. I have not researched this info, but gathered it from various individuals and sources. I do have a picture of Samuel PM and a pic of Samuel and his 2nd family with Martha L. I got these from a man in Jackson County, Kentucky...where Samuel is buried (Greenhill Cemetery). This man, George Roach, is a Greatgrandson of Samuel and Martha. He has the original pictures. Would welcome any contact, especially descendants of the Roach and Joyce If anyone is interested in these pictures, email me.

Dear Sheri, I do think I know something of Alexander Joyce (I will check my records and then email you directly unless others on the list are just terribly interested. I have not yet found out about the Thomason connection and why this gentleman was appointed Jane and Big John's children's guardian. There ARE connections between the Mayes and the Thomasons, but nothing that I can think of that would apply to Jane and Big John very closely, but there is a lot of things that I don't know. <grin> One of the older Joyce's in GR Co. TN was Alexander Joyce. Frederick Mayes's sister Mary "Polly" md Wilson Joyce(a descendant of Alex) first and then Richard T. Soloman. " Do you mean Jane and Big John Mayes's daughter Mary "Polly " Mayes married Wilson Joyce? What happened to them? Secondly I asked you a question in one of my previous letters to the list that you didn't answer. (Maybe I am firing off too many questions at once <sigh>) Did Frederick Mayes move to Trigg County like his half brothers. I found a Fredrink Mayes of the same age in the Ky Vital records index. I was hoping that your "gentleman's material would contain some material on what happened to Big John's second (or third?<smile>) family ie the children of Big John and Jane May Mayes (Mayse, Mays <grin>) Gail ----- Original Message ----- From: Sheri P.

Thanks for sending that. I'm looking for an old court record from 1862. It has been microfiled before, but not indexed. I don't have good access to it now.

Does anyone have a well-documented family history for John Acuff and Nancy Watson? I'm working on a family reunion book for June. I'd like to include information and documentation on this line. A cousin has recently found proof that our John Dodson/Dotson of Grainger Co., TN was a son of Joel Dodson/Dotson and Sallie Acuff. Sallie was the daughter of John and Nancy Watson Acuff. Thanks, Dianne Erwin [email protected]

Dear Kenneth and fellow listers, In your letter dated March 3 you said > . > 3 Edward D. Hodge ...He married (1) Phebe Mayes ;(2) Orlena McDaniel ; > According to documents connected with the settlement of Big John Mayes estate Pheby and Edward's children would have been Nancy, Elmira, John and Jesse Hodge (or Hodges). I assume that Susan Hodge born circa 1846 and Anna Hodge born 1849 were Edward and Orlena's daughters. Is that correct? Gail in MO

Hi, Gail ~ No, I didn't have the census information, and thank you for posting. Since this is not my direct line of the Roach family, I have not spent much time researching that particular line, but with all the Joice/Joyce conversation, I became curious about them. Thanks. A little Roach info: The Wm. S. Roach and Keziah living in the area was my g-g-uncle. Wm.S. was the older brother of Absalom Roach, md. Melvina Jane Cardwell. Abbsalom and family came to Texas in Dec 1855 with the entire Cardwell contingent and some other families (Jarnigan, Watkins, Chamberlain and others). Wm. S. came much later, bringing most of his family, but not Keziah. Before Keziah could come to Texas, William S. died. He is buried in Bunton Cemetery, Lytton Springs TX with Absalom and Melvina Jane. Keziah later remarried - to an E. P. Morgan. Absalom & William S.'s sister, Martha Ann Roach, md. John Dyer, also came to Texas and may have come at the same time as Absalom. That branch of the Dyers settled in Bastrop County TX - the next county over from Caldwell County. Betty B.

Thanks, Bill ~ I thought some of the Joyce/Joice researchers out there may have some info that we don't have. A couple of years ago, a man from San Antonio wrote asking about Samuel P.M., and said he had some info. I sent him a little bit of info, but I've never heard from him again - not even to say he received or did not receive the information. If memory serves, his wife was a descendant of some of Samuel P.M.'s "second family." Betty B.

Shar, This document should be on the microfilm that I have ordered in. I have the deed index on microfilm and I carefully checked the entry etc. so I should have ordered the right microfilm. (just need to get to the FHC again). I will then either scan or snailmail you a photocopy of the deed whatever you prefer. However, I am guessing that the land record says jsut what Larry said it did so I think I should rent a microfilm of the court records for the relevant years in hopes of finding out more about Edward's heirs. These are not available from the FHC, but can be obtained from Heritage Quest I believe.

Gail and List: I must apologize because I DO NOT have any firm dates on the children of "Big" John Mayes. The dates I do have are census record dates and even then, not all of them. I didn't realize what I didn't have until I looked. I do still think there were at least three wives based on the approximate dates of the birth of the children. The gentleman I am doing this for did provide me with dates, but of his own generation. Sheri "Sheri P. Kelly" <[email protected]> wrote: Gail: I do have some information at home.

However, when I have this family group completed I shall hope to have a slot to fit Phebe into.
