Hello, I'm new to this site and new to doing family tree research. I started about three weeks ago and have been lucky enough to find lots of information already. My family and I went to Dover and Carlisle last weekend to visit my great-grandfather (John C. Ralls) old homeplace, the Bear Springs furnace, local cemeteries, the courthouse and the library - where we met some really nice, helpful people. Mr. Saunders was able to give me some needed information on the Ralls family, but I'm stuck on parts of the other side. I have a Mary A. Settle (born about 1833) as wife of Isaac Newton Lewis (born 1832 At Bellwood Landing - died 1868 at Dover) who would have been my great-great grandfather. They were married 12/22/1856. I believe Mary Settle Lewis was the daughter of Pendleton and Mary Hooks Settle. Mary Hooks was the daughter of Charles and Elizabeth Ferrill Hooks. Elizabeth's parents were John and Zilpha Morris Ferrill. I have been able to find a good bit of history on Pendleton Settle's brother's and sister, but nothing about him and his children. His parents were John and Creacy Settle. I would love to have more information about Mary Settle and her parents. I have been able to trace a lot of the Lewis men's information, but I've had trouble with the wives. I also need information on my great-grandmother, Edna Earl Sexton Lewis, but I'll make a new post for that information. Thanks!! Robin Lewis Sylacauga, AL **************Need a new ride?

Hi, I don't know why I'm responding to your email because it doesn't look like I would be much help but, I do have two Settles in my tree. The oldest is a Nancy Mary Settle born Jan. 1836 and died Aug. 14, 1916. She married John James Stavely on June 16, 1853. One of their sons named Sidney Johnson Stavely born 1862 married Mary L. Settle on September 16, 1888. Mary L. Settle was born May 1866. I guess I got this info from roots web. Please let me know if this connects to your tree in anyway. I'm just like you, looking for more information. Doris Pulley [email protected] wrote: Hello, I'm new to this site and new to doing family tree research.

In regard to Mary Adelade Settle b. abt. 1833 who married Isaac Newton Lewis, I show her husband, Isaac, was wounded in the Battle of Fort Donelson. Perhaps there is a military record or pension record that can help in your research. Have you located any of this family on census? I too am a descendant of Dr. John C. Ralls and would be interested in chatting with you. [email protected] wrote: Hello, I'm new to this site and new to doing family tree research.
