This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Arney Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VgB.2ACE/669.1.2 Message Board Post: Do you require specific names or can you look for anyone with a surname of Arney? I am looking for any Arneys, but more specifically early Arneys, for example Peter Arney died in 1845, he was probably buried in Arney cemetery which was relocated with the building of Dale Hollow Dam. Peter Arney and Matthew Arney, Sr. (Peter's son) graves were probably both moved. Peter Arney arrived in Tennessee between 1800 and 1810, and purchased land in Overton County, TN. So, the Arneys I would be looking for would be buried after such time. Thank you for your time, consideration, and cooperation, I deeply appreciate it.

Join Maury County Historian Bob Duncan as his band of frontier Tennessee farmboys-turned-sailor-and-navigator float their "flatboats" on winter flood waters swiftly by river pirates to Natchez, and trade their surplus farm produce for hard cash. After a brief respite at that "Gomorrah on the Mississippi," Natchez-under-the-hill, trudge homeward with them over the dark, lonely and often deadly Natchez Trace. Based on his research and popularly acclaimed columns in the Columbia Daily Herald, Duncan unfolds this adventure in early commercial traffic, establishment of a pioneer market, and access to hard currency, all so crucial to the early growth and maturity of Tennessee communities. We look forward to seeing you. Katheryne Cowan, MTGS Webmaster

Surnames: JOHNSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VgB.2ACE/668.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello Les, The problem I have with Wm Marion Johnson wife being Mary Stepp, sister to Wm Stepp is that Mary Stepp, age 15, is still living at home with parents in 1860 Fentress census. Wm Marion Johnson is md to a Mary LNU according to 1860 census with one daughter in the HH. This Mary is age abt 24. Wm and Mary had to be md abt 1857/58 due to thier daughter, Elizabeth being born abt 1858/59. Studied the 1850 & 1860 census of Fentress Co and found that a John Pile had a daughter, Mary age 13, in 1850. In 1860 this Mary is no longer living in John Piles HH# 652, same district as Wm Johnsons HH#677. This Mary would have been abt age 23/24 in 1860, which would fit the Mary of 1860 md to Wm Johnson. Just a hunch I have. But why would this Mary LNU leave her son, Wm Cooney Johnson with Wm Stepp? They must have had some type of relation. Any additional thoughts/comments welcomed. Thanks Jim Garrett

Fellow Arney Genealogists and Researchers, I request your assistance in putting together the "Arney Genealogy" Website. I have purchased the domain name www.arneygenealogy.com and intend on putting together the website as I promised. Yes, I know it has been a long time coming and I know it will not be perfect nor complete. I have searched for definitive tangible proof of our Arney ancestors existence. It has to start somewhere, right. You all know what I have posted many times in the past. That Peter Arney was born in 1772 in Tryon (now Lincoln) County, NC. That after his father Jacob's death (in 1784 in Lincoln County, NC) in 1787 he was bound over to a John Fullenwider, until the age of 21, to learn the trade of a miller. That around 1793, Peter moved to Wythe County, VA where he married and began his family. Finally, sometime between 1800 and 1810 Peter moved his family to Overton County, TN. He settled and died there in 1845. Peter Arney's brother, Christian (born in 1750 in York County, PA), fought in the American Revolutionary War. Christian moved with his father from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in 1767. Christian died in Lincoln County, NC in 1834. For myself, the biggest Arney mystery is Jacob Arney himself. Where did he come from, who were his siblings, and who were his parents? That is a mystery about 280 years in the making. We now know that our Jacob Arney was NOT the son of a Frederick Ernigh. So, then who was Jacob Arney the son of? No, I am not writing this email to brag or anything of the kind. I am writing this email asking for each of your assistance in making sure the information I place on the website is as accurate as is genealogically possible. After all, you have all done the research as well, some of you for many more years than I. Please help me, to help each of us, and to help the next person who wants to know where their branch of the Arney tree came from. I deeply appreciate your time, consideration and cooperation, thank you very much. Sincerely, Stan Arney Wichita, KS __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Arney, Earney, Erni Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VgB.2ACE/667 Message Board Post: It is time to put together an Arney Genealogy website. A website devoted exclusively to Arney Genealogy. Yes, it will have links to other websites, to search engines, etc. I know how difficult it has been for me to find information on my Arney ancestors, and I want to make it easier for the next person who decides to follow my ancestral path. Yes, there are dozens of genealogical websites out there, like Ancestry.com, Genealogy.com and Rootsweb.com, just to name a few. These websites are dedicated to a vast array of genealogy surnames. Yes, I understand that by doing family genealogy research you realize you are associated with other family surnames by marriage, etc. What I intend, at least initially, is to follow the direct path of my Arney ancestors. Yes, this may be a little biased but I am concentrating on the Arneys, for the most part. I know that Peter Arney was born in 1772, in Tryon County, North Carolina. I know that around 1793 he moved to Wythe County, Virginia where he married and began his family. I know he moved again around 1800 to Tennessee where he settled in Overton County, TN. Finally; he died there in 1845. I know that Peter Arney's brother was Christian Arney (who was born in 1750 in York County, Pennsylvania), who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Christian lived most of his life in Lincoln County, North Carolina where he died around 1837. I know that Peter and Christian's father was Jacob Arney. Jacob Arney moved his family from Pennsylvania to North Carolina in 1767. He settled in what would become Lincoln County, North Carolina where he died in 1784. Jacob Arney is the biggest Arney mystery that I have come across. A mystery over 250 years in the making. Who was Jacob Arney, where did he come from, who were his siblings, who were his parents? What once was believed was that Jacob Arney was the son of a Frederick Ernigh, who arrived in the USA in 1732. This has since proven to be false! We know there were, at least, two men with the first name of Jacob and a similar surname of Arney (Erni, Earney, Erne, etc.). We know that both were in Pennsylvania at virtually the same time frame. One was definitely the son of Frederick Ernigh, the other obviously was not. One of these Jacob's had a son, Christian, in 1750. This same Jacob moved his family to North Carolina in 1767. So, since this Jacob was NOT the son of Frederick, who was he the son of? Where did this Jacob come from? Why did he decide to move his family to North Carolina in 1767? Part of the problem of dissecting any family puzzle is the fact that few were literate. Many of these people could not read or write. There names were recorded by people who could write. Which meant when asked their name they spoke them, but could not spell them out to any one. This required the person recording the name to attempt to spell it correctly. This is why the spelling of a person's name could "evolve" over the years. If you could not spell your name to me, I would have to attempt to spell it, as I heard it pronounced. Maybe I was familiar with a similar sounding name, so I would spell it like it. That is how or why Arney could be written in so many variations (Arney/Earney/Erne/Erni/Erney/Arny or Erny/Ernigh). Another thing that did not help was that there were people here in the United States with a surname already pronounced similarly, Arney. We had people from England, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, etc. These families also married into each other, fu! rther complicating things. Anyway, you get the picture. I will give you more details later. Have a great time researching your Arney ancestry, may we find our answers, together.
