JOhn and Sibby interest me.. there is a Jesse Vestal who marries an Elizabeth Vestal (daughter of John and Sibby?) up there in Macon Co are then they disappear. I am wondering if this is my Jesse who comes into Lebanon LaClede Co Mo ca 1848 His first two wives are not documentated. Only the third. Any data on this Jesse in Macon appreciated. I have a photo of him and third wife Martha DAVIS King Vestal. Kerry Fleming

Everyone, Dianne and Allen: Dianne, Here is the section on Joel Franklin Vestal. Allen, note that two of the girls married (Reece), I don't know if they were brothers, if so then this is another family were siblings of one family married siblings of another. To the others on the list, we were trying to find the father of Thomas Vestal married to Grace Swaim. Any help here is appreciated by all. ---------------------- Section 960, p. 643 of The Yadkin County Heritage--North Carolina, Frances Harding Casstevens, Editor. Family line contributed by Lowell Vestal. The Joel Franklin Vestal Family Joel Franklin was born to David and Sally Vestal, April 13, 1851. He was one of five children: Lewis L., Emily, Joel, Lindsay and Wes. His parents had moved to Yadkin from Randolph County and established themselves as prominent farmers in the Boonville area. Joel married Elizabeth Vestal, April 17, 1870. They had eight children, but two never grew to adulthood. Nevada died at the age of six, and Julius at the age of two. They both died in November of 1883. It is thought they died from diphtheria. The others were: Melissa (Reece), born May 22, 1871; Harriet (Brown), born September 28, 1872; Charity Jane (Reece), born September 13, 1873; William Thomas, born April 16, 1875; Ada (Hammett) born February 21, 1878; and Charlie Montgomery, born October 17, 1879. Joel's wife, Elizabeth, died December 16, 1910, and a year later he married Mary Bryant Adams. There were no children from this marriage. Joel died at the age of 62 on February 21, 1913, and was buried alongside Elizabeth in the Boonville Cemetery. (The Boonville Baptist Church was were the family would journey to church before Charity Baptist was organized n 1901.) ------------ =======Then the book follows the line of Charlie. I hope this helps. Barbara Vestal Byrd

<<There is a section about the Vestal Family Origin by Eunice M. Vestal. Also The Vestal Family: Descendants of Daniel and Anna, The Joel Franklin Vestal Family, History of the Hampton Monroe Vestal Family, and Sanford and Lula Bovender Vestal Family. There is a picture of a Vestal Home, and an article about a Vestal Plantation.>> Dianne, this us from my posting last night. I will look and see who is listed. Barbara

Does anyone have any information on the Joel Franklin Vestal family, like decendents? from Yadkin County.

Whoops! misplaced my brain there, it's the right side I have. :-) Jean

Thanks to Tom's explanation I am now certain that I have only half a brain, the left half, which explains some of the mistakes I have made in my life and why I can't find the desk on some days! I know it's here under the stacks of printouts from the many surname lists I am on. I bought one of those handy alphabetized folders for sorting papers, it works great to prepare for filing when the printer tray fills up. Only problem there, it's under the stack too. All of us dream of finding information on the surname lists that will help us, I was fortunate enough to have that happen to me this past week, only I didn't do the finding, I was found by a distant cousin and he asked if I would like to have his information on one of my lines (Vestal/Hood). I received from him a wonderful GEDCOM file that gave me several generations I did not have. So don't give up, you never know when something will fall into place. This give and take is sort of like fishing, if you don't bait your hook, you won't get a bite. Do you have a success story to share? Jean

Interesting one has to remember that most people living in the middle of the country say, Ky ,Ark , Mo ,Texas ,Ind., all had there start in Va . Then following a usual migration path went down into NC then beginning about 1820 begin to spread out all over ,my family split about half with half to Morgan Co Ind .half to Tx. Others filtered into mo ,ark etc. the point being they did not travel alone they must have actually had wagon trains, and often many members of a community left together ,some times these folks were kin , or perhaps of the same faith , but I also believe that if the young unmarried folks traveling with the group did not have a wife from a neighboring family already they developed a relationship on the way I wonder how many married on route ?since their were so few to select from they often married into the same family I have heard off three brothers marrying three sisters Not there own of course and first cousins marring was not uncommon, or a brother marrying another brothers widow .People did not stay single long either as many were widowed young and had children to raise and times were hard . Makes me wonder how many marriages of convienience there wereback then I find that many of the people living in Morgan co Ind. about 1834 were of the same families that were in NC in 1800 the Vestals the Poes the Rains, Caviness these people married into each others families in NC and continued to marry into each others families in Ind.perhaps some even married along the way, all one has to do is look at the census and see how many were born in N.C, Pat [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Rea <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2000 7:25 AM Subject: [VESTAL-L] Vestal, John and Sibby > The other day I wrote my thoughts on right brain and left brain > genealogy.

The other day I wrote my thoughts on right brain and left brain genealogy. The left brain prefers linear step by step thinking and order. The right brain likes to see the larger picture first and get an intuitional sense of things as it works. Right brain people have their genealogy spread out in front of them and all over the floor and left brain people have meticulous cards, notes, index and footnotes on an organized desk. That is, of course, over simplification and we are all mostly mixtures of the two. Anyway tonight I was being very right brain intuitive and working on some Missouri Vestals that I think I am related to and I came across a Millie Gipson and decided to add her kin and found that the Gipson family had moved from Orange & Randolph Co., NC to Burke Co, NC to Clay Co., KY and then to Wayne Co., KY then to Randolph and Macon Co. MO. They were traveling with Vestals. Lo and behold I found several Sabrina's and Sabras in the daughters names for several generations. As you may know I have a mysterious Sibby, wife of a John Vestel, both of whom were of the ca 1760 generation. I think through the process of elimination that this John has to be the son of James Vestal Sr. ca 1730 who married first Mary [Jay?]. This Gipson search has led me to Stephen Gibson ca 1733 and Mollie Stillwell of Randolph Co., NC. It is possible that my Sibby fits into their family. They had granddaughters named Sabrina who were born in Wayne Co., KY and Macon county, MO. I know that Sibby and John were in Wayne Co., KY with their children, several of whom married there. I do not yet have any proof that Sibby is Sabrina Gipson, but it seems a very good lead and gives me a whole new area to search. So this is an example of intuitional searches. I could be dead wrong, but if I wait forever for a marriage record to give me Sibby's last name I may wait forever. Sabrina is an unusal name yet the Gipson family which intermarries with the Vestals uses the name. Duh? So now I have emails out to the Gipson's, etc. It is real good circumstantial possibility when you have Sabrina Gipsons traveling the same route of migration with the Vestals to Missouri. Anyway, say a Novena and light a candle or whatever you do when you want a breakthrough. I sure need one. Tom Rea
