I'm looking for any information about Nancy Willhite, who was born about 1827 in Bath County, KY. She married James Simpson Blevins on May 15, 1850. I have children's names and some info about them, but don't know when and where she died or anything about her parents, etc... Anyone researching this line? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Received the following from Elmer WILHITE. Thought I would pass it along to the pertinent lists. SgtGeorge *****(Start of Forwarded Message)***** Dear Cousins: I've started to put together a sort of global Wilhite data base using my Reunion software. As I get it into shape, I'll email it as a GEDCOM file. In the meantime, I'm trying to get all of the various Wilhites that I run across in different sources connected to the wonderful world of Wilhites. I'm working now on a source that is "SHORT An Early Virginia Family", compiled by Josephine Short Lynch and Edited by Katherine B. and Herbert A. Elliott, published in 1970. I ran across this in the LDS library in Salt Lake City. There are several Wilhites that are clearly connected to Johann Michael and descendants. However, there are a few that sort of jump out of nowhere. Would any of you have any information on these folks? Cassie Wilhite who married George McBride Akeman on 3/8/1894. Cassie died in 1922. Opal Wilhite, born 12/30/1913, who married Andrew D. March, Jr. on 2/14/1934. Emmett Clay "Dick" Wilhite, born 6/11/1873 and died 4/17/1943, who married Sarah Eugenia Akeman. Any information would be appreciated. I'm sending this as separate messages to a few of us at a time to avoid problems. Elmer

Elmer, Is your George Washington Wilhite any relation to Jackson Wilhite who married Jane Lay in TN? They later moved to MO. I am trying to find Jackson's parents. They must have been from TN or KY. Thanks, Myra Chambers

The GLO database of patents pertains to cash sales of *Federal* lands, those surveyed with the section/township/range system. About a dozen states in the midwest are in the database, and it's a fine thing that the data has been put on line. Heavy users of this information may find it useful to buy one of the GLO CD's. Kentucky records prior to about 1792 are found in Virginia, its parent state. Virginia has an on-line searchable database of its colonial patents, so indeed early KY patents can be searched for. You can get scanned images of the actual patents that John Blankenbaker used to do his Madison Co. maps, too! Here's the site: http://image.vtls.com/collections/LO.html Select the surname that's closest to your target name, you'll then get a chance to step through individual cards. In the case of Wilhoit, you select Wilfong, and with a bit of trial and error the Wilhite cards start at about #32. There are a number of Wilhoit patents in KY in 1785/6.

Hi Folks! I am searching for the ancestry of Maria WILHITE and her husband William BOWEN. They lived in Knoxville, TN originally, and one of their daughters, Maria, was born there in January 1804. Supposedly this daughter was not their firstborn. Our records say they had 14 children in all, though it only lists 12 by name. In the late 1820's the family moved to Russellville, Alabama. It is assumed that some of the children were adults by that time and did not follow their parents there. Their children's names were as follows: Melinda Matilda Marander Rachel Rebecca Maria (born Jan 1804) William Arthur Wilkerson Albert Ruthie Harvey Sarah This last child Sarah was born 1813 and married John E. HESTER of Franklin County, Alabama. If anybody can help me discover the ancestry of this Maria WILHITE and William BOWEN, please let me know. This is all the information I have on them.

Just to keep you updated, here is an email from Tim Pierce, one of the "gurus" at RootsWeb. Please read ALL of his post. I know it's long, but there's lots of stuff in his message. I DO take exception to some of Palladium's claims, especially the one about "the only genealogical software that can be used by novices but provides all the capabilities that experienced genealogists need". That's pure "hogwash"! There are many genealogy programs on the market that can be used by "novices" AND that can provide all the capabilities that "experienced" genealogists need. I had lots more to say about this "joint venture", but decided I didn't need to get into trouble with the folks at RootsWeb, so deleted the arguments. All of you are smart enough to see this for what it is. Regards, SgtGeorge Listowner Hi, Folks -- I think a few apologies are in order. The situation with the Palladium sponsorship has been very tricky. Palladium wanted to keep the partnership a surprise until they could make a formal announcement at this week's NGS conference. So Brian was under a non-disclosure agreement to keep it under wraps until almost the very last minute. He *couldn't* tell anyone. Before he left for Denver, Brian asked me to announce the sponsorship to [email protected], so that the listowners wouldn't be kept out of the loop. Well, you probably noticed I didn't do that. Between setting up the Palladium banners, blocking attempted spam attacks, and nursing sick listservers back to health, I just forgot that you all had to be notified. So it's my fault that the listowners got taken by surprise. I'm awfully sorry about that -- as someone observed, I'm a hacker, not a communications director. Keeping *people* informed isn't my specialty. :-) So, down to the nitty gritty: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ROOTSWEB LISTOWNERS? ------------------------------------------- Here's the letter from Brian that I should have posted to listowners on the day of the announcement. This is a good summary of the meaning of the sponsorship and its immediate impact on listowners. Dear RootsWeb Community, On 1 April 1998, Palladium Interactive reinforced the contributions of thousands of individual genealogists by becoming the sole commercial sponsor of the oldest and largest Internet genealogical resource: the RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative. An *extremely* important aspect of the sponsorship is that Palladium's commitment to RootsWeb goes far beyond simple financial support: Palladium and RootsWeb will work together to develop an exciting new generation of tools linking individual genealogists' lineage databases to the myriad data resources on the Internet. Palladium Interactive is the creator of the Ultimate Family Tree software for genealogists, the only genealogical software that can be used by novices but provides all the capabilities that experienced genealogists need. UFT itself has a distinguished lineage, being descended the widely-acclaimed Roots III and Roots IV software packages that defined professional-grade genealogical software more than a decade ago. Rootsweb also traces its origins back more than a decade to the founding of the ROOTS-L mailing list and the Roots Surname List query system. Now with more than 300,000 users, RootsWeb currently hosts more than 2,500 genealogical Websites and more than 3,100 mailing lists dedicated to surname and locality research. The hosted Websites include: * the Roots Surname List, which now includes 404,000 submissions from 55,000 genealogists * 40 of the 50 USGenWeb state pages and a large majority of the 3,100 county pages * the USGenWebArchives with hundreds of megabytes of searchable data * and hundreds of other resources Besides ROOTS-L, RootsWeb also hosts 3,100+ other mailing lists dedicated to the discussion of specific surnames, ethnic groups, and geographic localities. RootsWeb's Web servers handle 1,000,000+ Web "hits" each day, and RootsWeb's list servers allow genealogists to exchange 3,000,000+ pieces of e-mail each day. While RootsWeb has historically been supported by thousands of individual contributors and while individual contributions will remain RootsWeb's mainstay, Palladium's contribution provides RootsWeb with the ability to substantially increase the range of resources freely available to Internet genealogists. For example, the first two months of Palladium's sponsorship have allowed us to add: * A new search engine server, which has immediately made the equivalent of 500,000 new pages of data searchable by Internet genealogists and which will allow us to upload another 4,000,000 pages in the near future. * A new high-capacity router, that will increase from 2,000 to 5,000 the number of genealogists who can simultaneously be use RootsWeb. * A new mailing list archive server, which will enable genealogists to conveniently scan the archived posts of our 3,100 mailing using their Web browsers. In addition to the immediate, tangible benefits of Palladium's sponsorship, RootsWeb believes that the joint Palladium-RootsWeb software development projects will provide much, much greater benefits to the genealogical community. Over time we expect to see the seamless integration of Ultimate Family Tree with the burgeoning genealogical resources on the Internet, allowing even novice users to easily find Internet Websites, mailing lists, and databases where they can extend and refine their understanding of their family's history. On behalf of the million members of the Internet genealogical community, RootsWeb thanks Palladium for their contributions to the near-term needs and long-term advancement of our community. Sincerely, Dr. Brian Leverich So there's the official story. As to some of the concerns that have begun to float around: WILL MANDATORY FEES BE IMPOSED ON LIST SUBSCRIBERS? --------------------------------------------------- No. RootsWeb is free: it is a resource provided free of charge to the general genealogical community. Period. Some people have expressed worry about the phrase ``services at minimal cost'' in Brian's letter. Minimal means zero: we will not charge across-the-board fees to subscribe to mailing lists or run archive searches. The reason that for emphasizing ``minimal cost'' rather than ``no cost'' is to remind people that running RootsWeb does cost real money, and we want to encourage as many people as possible to become RootsWeb Members and Sponsors. DOES THIS MEAN THAT UFT OWNS MY MAILING LIST OR MY DATA? -------------------------------------------------------- No. Absolutely not. Palladium's sponsorship has *no* effect whatever on RootsWeb's relationship with the listowners or list subscribers. The terms of the sponsorship are limited to underwriting the cost of RootsWeb operating expenses, and funding new research projects. There is no way that RootsWeb would enter into a commercial partnership that would involve taking away your rights as genealogists, listowners and RootsWeb sponsors. RootsWeb's chief source of funding is still from individual subscriptions. That's how Brian and Karen prefer things: it means keeping people our highest priority, and it's the best way to avoid compromising your interests in favor of some nameless corporate machine. The goal here is to augment our main financial support with a healthy partnership to produce some really powerful genealogical tools. Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative volunteer sysadmin and general hacker

Following is a press release by Palladium Interactive. We Listowners were not informed of this beforehand and only learned of it by seeing the press release. RootsWeb is getting some necessary financial support, although I, as a Listowner, am a little concerned over the fact that Palladium's software programs will be the only ones that are built to directly connect with RootsWeb and the files there. This could certainly give them a great advantage in the market for genealogy programs, since many RootsWeb users may be tempted to buy or switch to Palladium's programs. Not saying it's good or bad, just making a comment. If you wish more information on this subject, go to the following URL and click on the upper left corner.

Some of you have been confused by my last email. If you are currently a subscriber, you need do nothing to continue. Everything will be just as it was before for any- one already subscribed. The difference is, if you get automatically dropped by the "robot" at RootsWeb after the requisite "bounces" when your server is having problems, or if your mailbox gets full, you will then have to re-subscribe. At that point, the "robot" at RootsWeb will no longer subscribe you as before. Instead, the email will be forwarded to me for my action. Then, I will manually re-subscribe, or subscribe a new user, after checking to see if the address is on the "good" list or on the "bad" list. (GRIN) Yes, I do keep such lists. It became necessary in order to remove and keep removed some trouble makers on various Lists. You will continue to use the same address for sending email and the same address for subbing or unsubbing that was used before. Now, there is one thing you should be concerned about. If you use a server that is constantly having problems and you keep getting unsubbed and having to resub, I "might" have you on a "bad" list. This is no great problem -- all you have to do in such a case is send me a private email (given below), explaining what the problem was and whether it is fixed or not. Let me state right now that the only server I have had problems with lately is WebTV.Net. Phillips, Magnavox, and the other companies involved in the WebTV Net should have to receive, edit, and answer one million emails a day to atone for their poor organi- zation. I don't mean to start a "flame" thread, so DON'T any of you answer this part on the Lists. It's just that if you do use this service, you may keep getting automatically unsubbed by the software at RootsWeb and after several such unsubs, I might put you on the "bad" list. (Again, GRIN) Just be careful not to let your mailbox fill up, no matter which server you use. Those full mailboxes are really annoying. To recap, you DO NOT have to do anything to stay on the List(s) to which you subscribe. The only difference you will notice is that you will not see all those shameless ads for real estate, sex, etc., etc. That SHOULD be to the liking of all of you. So, now let's get on with our genealogy searches without all the distractions of nudnik advertisers. Enjoy. SgtGeorge

Dear subscribers of the Lists I manage at RootsWeb: I have put it off as long as I could! Henceforth, all the 11 Lists that I manage at RootsWeb will be "closed". What this means is that, instead of being automatically subscribed to a List by sending an email to RootsWeb, a new user's email will be sent to me, the Listowner, and he/she will not be added as a subscriber until I manually add him/her. Also, NO ONE will be allowed to post to any of the Lists I manage unless he/she is a Subscriber. This will cut out ALL SPAM, all obnoxious users that I have on my reject list, etc. Of course, there will be some who slip through and post trash messages, but after the first one, that person will be manually subscribed and never let back on again, at least using the same email address. If he/she changes email addresses there is nothing I can do until he/she again posts something unsuitable. I'm sorry, but the amount of unsolicited SPAM, both commercial and sex-oriented, has reached the point where I MUST do this! >From now on (as soon as I unsub all guilty parties) there will be NO "sex-ads", no real estate ads, no "multi-level marketing" ads (read that pyramid schemes), nor any other off-topic subject from mass emailers. I hope you all agree with this. If you do NOT, please DO NOT answer here on the List. Send me private email to my personal email address and I WILL answer you. Your List Administrator, SgtGeorge
