Good Morning, RE: IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM ROOTSWEB. Starting today (Monday, 10 June 2002), RootsWeb will begin the process of upgrading their servers to new hardware. This means some lists will be unavailable during this time and we won't be able to post or receive messages. If our list is affected, Rootsweb will halt operation on the particular machine our list is on to complete their move. If you post a message, you might not see it come out on the list, nor will you receive any list messages. Don't panic! It just means our list is probably one of the ones currently being worked on. Rootsweb doesn't expect to lose any messages, but the lists will be down for a while while this changeover occurs. PLEASE don't post "why aren't I getting mail" during that time; you will when it comes back up, and you don't want half of it to be everyone on the list asking why aren't they getting mail. If you have trouble reaching other RW lists this week, it's probably for the same reason; try again in an hour or two or three... Thanks! I wish you all a MAGNIFICENT Monday! :) Colleen

Wanda: I bought my copy from the Hancock County Historical and Genealogical Society when I visited the area last fall. They can be found on the web at: http://www.korrnet.org/overhome/page3.html If you click on the link to "Research books available", you will see information on the two (2) volumes that are available.

Sandie I have been tryin to find the same thing. Here is some that i have been able to put together on him According to the 1860 Census he was born in Henry Co. Va. he is 62 in 1860 The 1850 Census has him age 53 so he is born between 1797and 1798 in Henry Co. Va. Lee County i believe was part of Henry at that time. in 1810 Tax list Michael Rowland was in Lee Co. in 1820 Michael Rowland and George Rowland were in Lee Co. Va. each of these men has a son between the age of 16/26 yrs old. I have leaned to Michael because in the Census for 1850 the oldest son of Peter H. Rowland was named Michael. But there is one thing that keeps throwing me off here . I have not been able to find who the male child between the age of 5/10 in the 1830 Census this would put him born between 1820/25 and Michael according to all the Census was not born until 1835/36 So This son could have been named George. The Will listed in Lee County for Michael and Elizabeth only give there daughters name The other thing that draws me to Michael and Elizabeth is the way they named there children first born son if Michael is the first is Michael first born daughter Elizabeth Second born son Daniel second born daughter Abigail this is what also draws me to Nancy Littrell as the daughter of Daniel and Abigail Littrell There is also some confusion on my behalf on who has the Hasten name . Peter H. Rowland is the middle name Hasten as it follows down the family or Haskell as my gr gr grandmoather Mary Rowland daughter of Peter named her son. Or is the Hasten name the middle name of Nancy as i have seen on some family charts. I believe when i checked the Marriage of Michael Rowland in Henry Co. Ellizabeth was a Hairston not sure right now but the Peter name came in there somewhere either her father or grandfather can't put my finger on it right now. Michael and Ellizabeth married in Henry Co. Va. in 1778 The only two other marriages in Henry before the birth of Peter H. Rowland were Baldwin Rowland md Sarah Hairston 1782 and John Rowland md Enes Sturgeon in 1778 but if my memory serves me right John had no children and his will mentions brothers and nephews in it . listed as a brother was a Michael Rowland also Michael Rowland was listed as a nephew . will have to look at that again . Anyway lets hope we can make some sense of this someway . phyllis Sandiegibson@aol.com wrote: > Hello: > Is there anyone else on this list that are researching the Peter H. ROWLAND > family?

This has been very intresting. People that had ancestors from there this would look good in your genealogy. Sometime spicing up the family line with a few notes that are facts makes it more pleasurable to read. Shirley

Barbara, Here is part of the kinship report for Granville Hobbs from my FTM program; it shows the relationships of him to the Penningtons. Maybe that will help. It shows all my Penningtons, too, so that may give us some more data to go on. Following that is the same for Martha Myers.

A reprint of the Early Settlers books is great news! Does anyone know what the price will be and will we be able to reserve a copy of the set in advance? I've no doubt that it will sell like hot cakes! A big THANK YOU to whomever is responsible for finally bringing this about. Carline :) God Bless America cagee@ntown.net

Like everyone else, I am very excited about the possibility of purchasing a copy of the EARLY SETTLERS OF LEE COUNTY in the near future! But, in the meantime... My sister has a copy of "Hancock County Tennessee and its People, Vol. I", and in there is an article about the Bishop family of Hancock and Lee Counties. The author of this article, the late Vincel C. Bishop, referenced an article on the Bishops that appeared in Volume II of the Lee County book. If there is anyone who has access to that article, I would GREATLY appreciate receiving a copy of it. Thanks!

The question was asked: > > Are you descended from Obediah Terrell who lived in the area briefly? Any connection to Mary TERRELL (1779-1859), who married William SPRINKLE? They lived in Smyth Co., but William's brother Jacob lived in Lee. Margaret

I don't know. Obediah was probably born ca 1740's and was a well-known Longhunter. I don't know if he ever married a white woman or not, but he did have children by one or two Indian women. One Terrell showed up on the 1850 census as mulatto which also stands for Indian as well as black.
