Hello Lister: I have a question about a name. Several kids in my great great great line have the middle name of Linkous. What are the chances of this name being the maiden name of the great, great, great, grandmother? I have not been able to find any information on her other than she married Craig Sheffy, per the 1870 for Pulaski County. I believe she was a widow prior to marrying Craig because she had kids too old to be Craig's. The marriage did not take place in Pulaski Co, where Craig was born. Two of the lister were gracious enough to look at the county house for me. Can someone offer a suggestion? Oh her name was Amanda (Mandy) and she died prior to 1881 most likely in Pulaski Co. Thanks Angela

On one of the mailing lists I belong to they have an �The Ancestor I would most like to meet� To get things going on this list � here is my submission.

GRANDMA MILLER Priscilla ESTES MILLER, who I knew for years as just Grandma MILLER. She was the daughter of Richard ESTES & Mary STONE of Lunenburg, Montgomery & Franklin Co's, VA & Madison Co., KY. Richard was the son of Elisha of Henry Co., VA. Mary STONE was the dtr/o Richard of Lunenburg Co., VA. She was born about 1770, captured by the Shawnee (Tecumseh's brother) in 1778, rescued 1786 in Michelimachinac, OH. Her half-brother Joshua TOWNSEND was in the rescue party & later recognized her. He brought her to Madison Co., KY where her siblings & their father were living. Her folks lived in what is now Giles Co., VA on Walker & Wolf Creeks on New River watershed near Pearisburg, VA. She was a hired girl for a neighbor, Moredock McKENZIE, at the time his home was raided & his 2 daughters taken captive. When they were rescued, the three were still in the same village rather than having been split up. We have as many versions of the capture & rescue as there were MILLER children, but they all contain similarities, plus it has been documented in quite a few books. The books do not give the human-interest stuff I'd like to know, so would like very much to have the chance to talk with her.. She m. 1788 in Madison Co., KY to Jacob "Grandpa" MILLER & they raised 11 children in Madison, Montgomery & Estill Co., KY. 1829 they moved to Fulton Co., Il where Grandpa MILLER died of a bleeding nose. Grandma MILLER lived to be 93, dying in 1863 probably in MO, KS or IA. Grandpa MILLER had grown up in Augusta, Greenbrier & Monroe Co's VA but was the Daniel Boone explorer type & went to KY in 1780's. He was a scout for Boone & was at the Fort at Boonesborough. He fought in the War of 1812 in the Battle of Raisen River & Tippecanoe. There is a MILLER Creek named for him near where he lived which is now in Lee Co., KY. She always said that she was treated quite well by the Indians. She had been adopted by a sub-chief's wife Karalo who protected her from Indians & whites alike. Some remember that she was treated like a princess. She learned herbal rememdies that she afterward would use for her children & grand- children. She would travel far, if one of hers needed care. About 1840, she rushed to the side of a daughter who was dying following childbirth, & she pulled her through with prayers & herb cures. I chose her, because I would enjoy hearing more about her life while in captivity & the learnings she received there. I am in to herbal rememdies, so would especially enjoy discussing that, plus what happened to her one daughter who I can't find. Donna

Has anyone ever found records of social organizations such as ethnic societies (The German American club for example) or fraternal societies (IOOF, maybe), 4-H, farm bureau, the county fair or any other group that would have contributed to the social life of a community or county? I am developing a program to give to a genealogy class. They are interested in finding out "what life was like when my ancestor lived there". These social organizations surely contributed to the social life but I have no idea where to search for these types of records. Thank you for any help or personal stories of success in using these resources that you can provide to me. Barbara Ekiss

Looking for any more information about a William MYERS / MAIRS / MARS, who is a likely father, brother, uncle or cousin to my 3great grandmother, Catharine MIRES / MYERS b ca 1792-1796 VA or NC, d after 1860 census (Washington Co VA). She married Moses LINDSEY 1813 Washington Co. VA. I have compiled from various sources these records of William MYERS. They are not necessarily the same person. Looking for descendants of any likely William. Year Date State County Surname First Name Notes Source 1789 VA Montgomery MYERS / MAIRS William assessed tax Schreiner-Yantis, Netti , Montgomery County, Virginia--circa 1790 1793 VA Wythe MYERS / MARS William personal property tax list, section 3 north of Walkers Mountain, 1 tithes, 1 horses NewRiver Notes (NOTE: Catharine MIRES father-in-law (is probably) Moses LINDSEY m Leticia BRECKENRIDGE, had property on Walkers Creek at that same time... curious where is section 3?) 1814 March 31 VA Washington MYERS William married WHITLEY, Hannah, by George EAKIN, min. (NOTE: this marriage took place only six months after Catharine MIRES m Moses LINDSEY) 1814 December 10 VA Washington MYERS William note on estate appraisal of John LINDSEY Washington Co. wills on microfilm (Note, this record also has Moses Lindsey having a claim on John LINDSEY?s estate... Catharine MYERS LINDSEY was married to John?s brother, Moses, and their father was also a Moses LINDSEY. I don?t know the relationship of William MYERS to John or Moses LINDSEY, but he could easily be a close relative of Catharine. John died young of disease at the end of the War of 1812, when he was serving in the Virginia Militia, under Abram Fulkerson.) I am looking forward to finding out more clues. I am also looking at Samuel, Peter, Joseph, John, James, Jacob, Isaac, Henry, David, Christopher, Alexander, or Adam MYERS (MARRS/MIRES/MOYERS etc), as possible father of Catharine. Thought I would start with concentrating on one with some documented connection.

If someone had to take the OATH OF FIDELITY AND SUPPORT, would they have had to have Naturalization papers also ? My 6th g-grandfather took the Oath of Fidelity and Support in MD. He is believed to have been born in England but I haven't been able to locate any information on him in England. Thanks for your help. Gloria

Good Morning All! Can anyone tell me where this cemetery is located and if I'm using the correct name? I believe that it is in Montgomery County, but I'm not sure. Also is there a caretaker or anyone connected with the cemetery that I could write to and request a lookup? Thanks so very much. Have a great weekend everyone! Sincerely, Melissa Cecil County, Maryland

Jno is definitely an abbreviation for John. Jas is an abbreviation for James. Wlm in colonial times was an abbreviation for William, later shortened to Wm. Saml and Sml for Samuel. Geo for George. And on, and on. Best wishes, Bli :-)
