Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HiB.2ACI/2763.1 Message Board Post: Results of Graves DNA testing: A close match was found with a Graves from Johnson County, Illinois. This family is mentioned (because of intermarriage) in a book written in 1925 by the children of George Elkins who was 100 years old in 1925. The book is entitled A Century in Egypt and is available (reprint) from the Johnson Co. Illinois Historical Society. p. 85-85 “John Graves and wife came from Germany to America. Father thinks they first came to North Carolina and came over the same trail that John Elkins and family traversed, but the Graves family stopped in eastern Kentucky while it was yet a territory. They bought a large tract of land and after they had spent all their money improving it, someone with a better title ousted them. The Graves family moved to what is now Livingston County, Kentucky. John Graves had two sons, Fred and John Graves Jr., and four daughters (names Sarah, Mary, Vanillia, and unknown). p. 94 “We have John Graves at the head of the Graves family, but are not sure the name is correct. Father thinks it was John and we could find no one else that knew what the name was. Father also thinks that Graves and his wife first came to North Carolina and later up the same trail that the people traveled coming to Johnson County, Illinois, but the Graves settled in Livingston County, Kentucky. Dr. J.N. Graves tells us that his grandfather, Fred (or Fed) Graves told him that his (Fred Graves) father and mother came from Germany, and John M. Howerton thinks they were Germans, but some of the relations dispute this as Graves is not a German name. No doubt the Graves are originally from Scotland or England and may have gone from there to Germany and then to America. But as the older Graveses married girls having German names we are inclined to believe that the Graveses came direct from England and settled in North Carolina where there were German families and the mar! riages between the Graves and Alcorns, etc., causing their descendants to think they were all Germans.” Thought some of you Graves descendants might be interested!

Surnames: ASHLOCK, HILL, HUNTER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HiB.2ACI/2776 Message Board Post: Thomas Alonzo ASHLOCK married Nena Jane HILL in Sumner Co. in 1883. They then moved to Texas. Thomas was the son of Isaac Ashlock and Mary HUNTER. I will scan a copy of their family photo to any interested researcher.

I am trying to find out death dates for Sanford & Margaret A Fitts. In the 1880 Sumner Co, TN census, Sanford was 33 and Margaret was 25. They had two daughters, Katie 6 and Adella 3. I want to find out if there is any kind of estate settlement, will, or maybe a deed for land left listing surviving relatives. I am trying to find out more about their daughter Adella. I have a great great grandmother who was listed as Allie Fitts on my great grandmother's death certificate as her mom and this is the closest name I can find in this area at the right age who MAY be her mom. Thanks, Jeannie Cohea

I am sure that there are many list members are subscribers to Ancestry and have access to Heritage Quest through their local library. I suspect that many other listers take the time to look for information to answer a query posted on the list. However, I encourage researchers to support these organizations by subscribing to Ancestors and encourage their local libraries to subscribe to Heritage Quest. I am preparing for a visit to Sumner County and am using Ancestry, Heritage Quest, Family Search, U. S. Genweb and the Sumner County List as I prepare for the trip. I have received more family information through the list, which has served as the guide for locating other family members. I have located census information at Heritage Quest and/or Ancestry.com. Heritage Quest has digitally enhanced the online census, but do not have indexes to all the census (they may be searched using the browse feature). Ancestry.com has indexed the census, many every named, however the Heritage Quest census may be more readable. Many of us are also locating data on the various Rootsweb sites and exchanging information on Roots-L, which I believe are now funded by Ancestry. Often one evening of web research provides more data than I could have located in years prior the computer age. I am grateful to my relatives who share their research with me and to all the businesses and individuals, like you, who contribute so much to assist my genealogical quest.
