Jessie, yes Al and I are in contact alot now, I had to straighten him out on alot of stuff, and he has corrected alot, we are right now working on Thompson's, have found alot of new info on this family, and are trying to prove all the way back....Al is a good guy ,I like them all, but when people try to straighten out too many of these lines at once they get more mixed up...thats why I only worked on proveing my husbands lines to begin with, just to untangle them, those Tennesse hill billys<VBG> are a caustion, Grainger Co. is so inter-woven, our line especially.. but fun, very interesting people I keep telling my husband I'm going to stop on the Roachs by such and such a time, and get caught up on my own dead end, Yea Right !! then someone writes me abt Roach's/ Owens /Galyon or one of them, and I think I'll never be done with them..... > <<<< Do you have John Green Roach as the son of James Roach and Ann > Thompson ?>>>> Most defineatly.....that much is proven and there was a Henry Roach in Or Co. NC in 1770 (reference,) and James Roach did have Ashcroft/Ashcraft neibors....so that is possible, but not positive beyound that its pretty fuzzy...lots of people assumeing things with out proof Sharon. > > > Jessie > > -----Original Message----- > From: froach598@juno.com <froach598@juno.com> > To: TNGRAING-L@rootsweb.com <TNGRAING-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: Monday, November 01, 1999 10:27 PM > Subject: Re: [TNGRAING-L] ROACH - Grainger Co. > > > >Hi Jessie > > > >Yes, It all looks familar.......just one spelling error, wasn't > Alfred > >who md Ellenor a Culliver too? > > > >Sharon > > > > > >On Mon, 1 Nov 1999 22:09:36 -0800 "Jessie Coffey" > ><JRCoffey@worldnet.att.net> writes: > >> Here is some ROACH info that I have recieved. > >> Any one look familar ?
