Hi Ruth, My new email address is scalawag1867@aol.com or scalawag1826@cs.com It's okay you can call me "An old Scalawag" My great aunt in the 1950s, when I was a little girl, called me a little "Scalawag". She was born in 1877 and she was familiar with the word and ofterm used it. I affectionally call my gr grandpapa Joseph Ryan Waldrop 1826-1867, "Scalawag". So that is the rest of the story, he was born 1826 and married my great grandmother Sara Baxter in 1867. 1867=aol 1826=com. serv. Sandra maiden name Waldrop

Hi you old "scalawag." (Sorry, I just couldn't resist the opportunity for a bit of humor--admittedly not very clever, though.) So is your old email address not working? I am asking because I had invited you to my Waldrep site at MyFamily.com using the other email address. Should I change it to your new one? Ruth p.s. Other Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi researchers (especially) are welcome to join my free, private Waldrep site. My own Waldreps married Peaks in Alabama, so I would love to have anyone from that line, too. They connect to Alabama Eddys. For an invitation, write me at my email address, rather than replying here. I need first and last names and let me know which site you want to join, as I have over 20. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Crptbggr322@cs.com> To: <WALDROP-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 9:22 AM Subject: [WALDROP] Testing new computer > Hi Testing too and all Waldrops. > > I have a brand new 2003 xp computer and I am trying to learn all the new > features. > > I also have a new email address > > > crptbggr322@cs.com > > The first and only name on my email maiiling list is the Waldrop's List. > > I hope to get back to the my regular name scalawag1867. > > The computer is so new the keys are still stiff and, honest to goodness it > feels like > the right side moved over one letter, that or I am making alot of errors or I > start another > letter before the other key comes back up.

Hi Test Testing Too, and all Waldrops I have a brand new 2000 xp computer and a new address/

I thought you might enjoy this article in this morning's Dallas Morning News. You can find the complete article at <A HREF="http://www.dallasnews.com/texassouthwest/columnists/kbiffle/stories/110302dntexbiffle.2475.html"> http://www.dallasnews.com/texassouthwest/columnists/kbiffle/stories/110302dntex biffle.2475.html</A> This is from the very end where it talks about J. P Waldrip. Who was who? About 90,000 saw military service in the Civil War, reckoned historian Ralph A. Wooster, whose realistic estimate included many under 18 and over 45. Dr. Wooster co-authored The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. Returning to the Hill Country's miseries, historian Johnson said, "At times the Germans were hard- pressed to separate the bandits from the Confederates. "After the Nueces affair, Hill Country settlers were terrorized by a man named J.P. Waldrip, who was either a Confederate enforcer or simply an outlaw. With his two sons, he led a group of 60 irregulars. He is alleged to have killed twice as many German settlers as the Indians killed during all their depredations in the hills." After the war, grand jurors in the Gillespie County seat of Fredericksburg wanted to bring some of those they considered war criminals to trial. They indicted 23 accused members of Rebel partisan lynch mobs. Renegade Waldrip was one. But no one was ever brought to trial. Even so, Jim Waldrip got his. He made a catastrophic miscalculation in 1867 when he assumed that passions had cooled sufficiently to permit him a postwar visit to beautiful Fredericksburg, one of his favorite wartime stomping grounds. Historian J. Robert Baulch of Schreiner College in Kerrville told me about what swiftly ensued when a Teuton spotted him. "Fredericksburgers quickly gathered and drove him into the barn behind the Nimitz Hotel where he was shot and killed." His last words were a fitting epitaph to the war in the Hill Country. He moaned, "Oh, God, please don't shoot any more." Kent Biffle is a regular contributor to the Texas & Southwest section.

Someone from ( a Waldrop) sent this to me from Tippah County, Mississippi, several years ago. Academy Baptist Church N. E. 3 mi. Organized by Rev. Dan McKay, 1847, Rev. G. B. Waldrop, Benj. & Nat Hartain were first officers. Here M. P. Lowery was pastor while drafting plans for Blue Mt. College. Rev. G. B. Waldrop is my great great grandpapa, papa of Dr. Joseph Ryan Waldrop. Does anyone recognize any of their ancestors's names? Sandra maiden name Waldrop

Jenny, Please, when you are able send me you ancestors names and location and I will keep them in my file. I wish we could make a connection, I know the thrill of finding one of many missing links. It took me nine years of researching my great grandpapa and I just found him about three weeks ago in the Mobile Register Newspaper, ambushed and killed August 13, 1870. So, you might want to get started, Trust me "It ain't no piece of cake" , this thing called Genealogy. When I first started, almost ten years ago, I had my great grand papa Joseph Ryan Waldrop related to almost every Waldrop in the South East. I know I ran many people crazy by posting and posting, but it worked a few years ago all the information started pouring in. I have not yet stopped my research on the Waldrops for I have many generations to find. When you can, gather your information up and send it to me and I will see if I can share with you the directions I took. My advice to you is...go to your mother now with a note book and don't wait for her to copy all the information. I've had information slip thru my hands because I thought I had plenty of time with my relatives. I've had Aunts and Great Aunts that took to the grave so much of the information that is now costing me money and time. :o( So don't do as I did, get yourself a note book and start copying while you know where it is. Lots of luck...Jenny. Sandra maiden name Waldrop

Jan Dawson: You say this this line is incorrect...I will send you the names who sent in information for this page Jan if you have the corrections, would you be so kind to send me the corrections. I would love to take my Joseph Ryan Waldrop and his papa Rev. Green Berry Waldrop 1791-1854, a generation or two. Thanks. I did not research this line. I merely wanted to know if it was correct. I feel like from Green Berry Waldrop 1791- 1854 is my correct line. I believe Green Berry Waldrop brothers were Ezekle Waldrop and Major Waldrup. I do not know if this is correct or not, this is why I posted it before entering it into my files as the gospel.. The research on this information was posted by several Waldrop researchers. At the bottom of the page it lists the researchers who researched and entered the information. The page I sent in yesterday. Wait I'll give you the researchers now. (Major contributors: Howard Waldrop - MI, Bill Couch - AR, Bob Waldrop - FL, Rebecca Morris - TX, Clyde Waldrop - CA, Kathy J.Wade - GA, Melody Sanchez - CA, Howard Waldrop - IL, Deborah Zouras - SC, Thomas King - TX, I did notice that when it came to my Rev. Green Berry they have him born in 1788. There is a Green Berry Waldrup , who is the nephew of Rev. Green Berry Waldrop. The nephew is the son on Major Washington Waldrup. I received information from Jimmy Waldrop that my Joseph Ryan Waldrop couldn't be his Joseph Ryan Waldrop because I had taken from a 1870 Census that my JRW was born in Mississippi at the time he was 44. This is how I place him being born in 1826. (Mr Jimmy Walker is of the Heard line, Joseph Ryan Waldrop's first wife Nancy Heard,children Georgia Ann Waldrop and Stephen Franklin Waldrop.) Jimmy said, Rev. Green Berry was still in Georgia in 1824 in Gwenette, and he was, there is a picture of his church and in the message below mentions Green Berry Waldrop, Bodi Waldrop , Alsey and Benjamin Waldrop who parted from Green Berry by staying Talapoosa, Alabama , shortly after that picture was taken. Mr. Jimmy Walker insisted Joseph Ryan Waldrop had to be born in Georgia. He might have been, how ever Rev. Green Berry Waldrop was in the Alabama area and close enough to Mississippi for JRW to have been born in Alabama or Mississippi but as I told him on census 1870, the year he was ambushed and killed in Washington County, Escatawpa, Alabama his birth place was listed Mississippi, he was age 44 when he was killed. I found this by researching the for his death and found this information about the killing in the Mobil Register Newspaper. Sweetwater Primitive Baptist ...organized on December 8, 1824 by Tyre Lamders and G. B. Waldrop. Also Rev. Green Berry Waldrop was a Presty( not sure of spelling) He traveled around with other ministers organizing new Chruches.I have found him thru out my area in Georgia. I live in Muscogee County and he is listed as owning land here, Talbot and Harris Counties, Georgia He owned land all over these areas. He traveled from one area to another this is why I believe Joseph Ryan Waldrop could have been born in Alabama or Mississippi as well as Georgia. He did have on son born in Georgia but Joseph Ryan Waldrop was on up in age. (Henry Low Waldrop was born in 1832 in Harris County, Georgia, Joseph Ryan Waldrop was already six years old.) Back to Jimmy Walker, Rev. Green Berry was in Georgia until the early 1840s. How ever I have a deed where Green Berry bought land in Alabama in 1823. Rev. Green Berry must have traveled back and forth and was in Alabama and maybe even in Mississippi the time my Joseph Ryan Waldrop was born. Also Jimmy Walker questioned Matagorda and Powder Horn and Joseph Ryan Waldrop being in both places. I researched Powder Horn and Matagorda and they are very close together. You can find this information also in a book his mother in law at the time wrote and she mention Dr. Waldrop and Dr. J.R. Waldrop as a very like able person. Joseph Ryan Waldrop married Victoria K. Thomas in the Powder Horn, Texas area and then they moved to Matagorda , Texas to live by her mother. They had a son Joseph Henry Mark Waldrop in 1858. In 1859 Dr. Joseph Ryan Waldrop moved on to Arkansas and Victoria came home to deliver JHMW and then divorced my Joseph Ryan Waldrop , just to find he was still married to Sarah Catherine Alexander in Arkansas. He lawyer found JRW was still married to Sara C. Alexander Waldrop. There are other questions I need to answer Mr. Jimmy Walker that he asked me to send me to send him proof. I am doing that I am sending him the information on Powder Horn and Matagroda Texas. Also, about Rev. Green Berry being in Alabama in 1823 and 1826 in Georgia. Land deeds shows that he goes back and forth, with him having Waldrop relatives in Tuscaloosa and Talapoosa. This man traveled all over the States until the week he died in 1854, Joseph Ryan Waldrop , traveled as much as his papa, we have found him in La. South Carolina,( mention in one of his letters in 1854 to his brother Henry Low in DeSoto, Mississippi) He also lived in Tubelo, Mississippi, this is where his daughter Georgia Ann Waldrop Thornton was born in 1845 while married to Nancy Heard, they also had a son Stephen Franklin Waldrop who lived in DeSoto, Mississippi. Georgia Ann also lived in Mississippi) Arkansas and Washington County, Alabama. I still have other questions to answer Mr. Jimmy Walker's wanting to see written information. He also questioned the maiden name of Joseph Ryan Waldrop's mother. I have received information from Faye Waldrop Johnston and Major Washington Waldrup, I believe this is where I received the maiden name of my great great grandmother. Elizabeth Ward was on one of the Ged I received. I will contact Ann and Marshall and see if that information came from them. Mr. Jimmy Walker also question the Joseph R. Waldrop who signed up for the Civil War in 1861 in Canaan, Mississippi is the same JRW or not. I have a nephew with the FBI , I don't know if he can help me or not, but I am going to ask him if he can't have it done at the FBI , if he will find a handwriting expert in Washington D. C for us. I want to verify the signatures of the Civil War Joseph R. Waldrop and the Matagorda, Texas. I do not know why Joseph R. Waldrop was in Powder Horn or Matagorda in 1855-1858 but he was there visiting and writing home to his family about the estate of his papa Rev. Green Berry in 1854. His mother Elizabeth Ward Waldrop died in 1866. On census I found another J. R. Waldrop who was born 1834 in Texas who might have been a cousin. There is a eight year difference in their ages. 1934 would have made my Joseph Ryan Waldrop the papa of Georgia Ann Waldrop Thorton born in 1845, that J. R.Waldrop in Texas would have been only 11 years old in 1845. My JRW was visiting in Texas, he wasn't born or raised there. As always I stand to be corrected. But, after almost ten years, I have learned to have what I enter written down on paper and able to back up. So as for Rev. Green Berry Waldrop on down Rev. Green Berry Waldrop 1791-1891 Joseph Ryan Waldrop 1826-1870 James Harry Waldrop 1869-1924 Harry P. Waldrop 1906-1962 Me I am pretty sure, we have a connection with the Alabama and Mississippi Waldrops and Texas. Sandra Waldrop Doolittle
