Hey Cousins! Join us in Williamsburg! Preparations have begun to organize what has come to be known as the Clay Family Gathering. All descendants and interested parties of the Clay family line are invited to attend the three day genealogical conference and family reunion which will be held on June 22, 23, & 24, 2001, in the Williamsburg/Jamestown, Virginia area. For more info, visit the newly constructed website at http://ccainc.net/clayfamily/ Jeannie Watts (NOT one of the organizers)

Here is what I have on the McCormack's. Please be aware that this is a work in process & ERRORS ARE POSSIBLE, perhaps even probable at this point. Specifically unverified are Dennis McCormack as the father of Derecy McCormack & as the son of Micijah McCormack. Watch sources & names preceeded by "poss." or "prob." and use this only as a guide, not as the gospel truth. I don't like passing along information this incomplete but will as I need all the help I can get :) Jeannie Descendants of William McCormack, Sr. Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM1 MCCORMACK, SR.

I have him the son of Catherine KIBERT and James Allen CARPER. LDS has him the son of Catherine KIBERT and Charles Madison CARPER. Sounds like I have the child attached to the wrong father, and that the woman was married to both men. But not likely! One, Charles, is the SON of the other, James! HELP!!! Vince

Folks: I have two Oscar Washington Carper's (well, maybe more even). One is the father of Ballard Wade Carper and ??? One is the son of James Allen Carper and Sarah M. Sarver. Can you help me tie this together, or help me establish that it is wrong? Thanks, Vince

Vince they are the same person, Steve

Vince I have one, which is the son of James & Sarah, he was born in Oct 1843 and married on 12 July 1866 at the residence of Martha I. Leffel. by A. J. Elmore. to Amanda R.B. Leffel, born in Jan 1847, d/o john A. and Martha I. Leffel, Steve

This was posted on another list. I have several Rev. War soldiers that I descend from. They too made sacrifices. Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't just fight the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted...We shouldn't. So, take a couple of minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid..............

When Peter's wife Emma Lossie Carper (dau. of Joel Carper, son of James Carper, son of Jacob Carper, son of Nicholas Carper, son of Niklas Korper.) died, Peter left one of his children, Dixie with his sister Malissa and John. I am sorry that it took so long to get this info. to you, but sometimes it is very hard to get things into my thick head! I have a picture off a paper copying mach. of Peter and his wife Emma, but nothing og his sister. Tom Simpson Burbank, WA

There was no additional information at the time the book was written in 1983 by Raymond Luther Brickey. Tom

Is this fellow connected to the Craig County Sublett's? http://www.vmi.edu/~archtml/1860rost.html Vince

This, folks, is the correct name for the BRICKEY who married John Benton RUBLE. The Malinda BRICKEY turns out to be someone else. And, once again, I apologize for hitting the reply key and bringing up the title Charles N. Ruble! I just can't seem to remember not to hit reply, and, instead, start a new message! Vince

This is likely the same one, but did she also marry a John B. Ruble? This is the mate I have for Malinda. And a child, Annie G. Ruble.
