Yvonne, you've hit on a very controversial subject concerning whether the last three daughters of Adam WILHITE/WILHOIT were actually the daughters of Adam WILHITE/WILHOIT and Missy BALEY/BAILY/ BATEY (or whatever her name was). There were so many Adam WILHITE/WILHITE men with this name, many living at about the same time, that some people argue over just exactly which Adam was her father. However, from reading dozens of posts on the subject, the consensus seems to be that Barbara is indeed the daughter of Adam WILHITE/WILHOIT (son of Conrad WILHITE) and Missy BALEY/BAILY/BATEY,etc. SgtGeorge At 20:47 06/29/97 PDT, you wrote: >I am trying to find out if Adam WIlhite is the father of Barbara Wilhite >who married Samuel Cate about 1802.

I am trying to find out if Adam WIlhite is the father of Barbara Wilhite who married Samuel Cate about 1802. Barbara was born abt 1785 in NC and died about 1848 possibly in Tn. Adam's father was Conrad Wilhite. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Yvonne

A note to subscribers of all my RootsWeb Lists: It has been brought to my attention that some of you have been removed from the subscribers list, and think that I personally removed you. This needs clarification. 1) If your mailbox fills up at your ISP, the ISP will not accept any more mail. Then, a message goes back to RootsWeb, stating that your mailbox is full. This is called a "bounce". When the "robot" at the RootsWeb server receives a pre- determined number of "bounces", usually 4 or 5, you are AUTOMATICALLY removed from the subscriber list. We seem to have the most problems with AOL users, CompuServe users, Juno users, and other ISP's where the mailbox limit is rather low. My advice to you is if you have a limit on your mailbox which is low, make sure you download often. If you are going to be away for a couple of days, please have the courtesy of unsubscribing BEFORE you leave. When you return you can subscribe again. 2) All of us, from time to time, have problems with our ISP due to its being down for repairs, re-programming, installation of new hardware or software, or having other problems which cause it to be unavailable for receiving email. When this happens, of course all messages to any user of that particular ISP will be "bounced". This causes the same automatic response by the "robot" at RootsWeb. After 4 or 5 "bounces", you WILL be removed from mailing lists at RootsWeb. 3) All error messages concerning "bounces" are sent to me as Listowner. Usually, if I see these errors for two days in a row, and the cause is a full mailbox, I WILL go ahead and manually remove the user, before the "robot" does it. This is to prevent overload on the RootsWeb server, AND on my own system. 4) Just because you have been removed from a subscription list, don't assume you have done something wrong. If there is a question, send me a private email. Heck, it has been known for a Listowner to be removed from his/her own List !!!!! 5) If I EVER remove someone for cause, e.g., unacceptable behavior on a List, unacceptable language, etc., I WILL send a private message to the user, explaining why he/she was removed. If you are removed AND don't receive a message from me telling you why, then you haven't done anything wrong. The removal was due to a full mailbox, or because of technical problems with your ISP. 6) If you are removed for any reason other than violating the rules of the List, and you want to retrieve messages that you missed while not subscribed, you can always retrieve the archives for the List. You will find instructions for this in a separate email from me to this List. 7) If you have ANY questions on this subject, send me a private email and we will discuss it. SgtGeorge Listowner

Here are the instructions for retrieving archives of past messages on this List: (Please read ALL of this message !!!!!) ************************************ Send a message to [email protected] In the subject, type: archive In the body, type: ls volume97 (The above is "el" "ess", not "one" "ess", and the "97" tells the RootsWeb server that you want a list of archives for the year 1997.)

The information you are interested in is in the last column. There are three pieces of information in this 4th column: 1) the file size; 2) the date of the archive file; 3) the file number.) (Example: For the archive file of all messages received by the List on the 3rd of June, it is 7,293 bytes in size and its number is 6.) Looking at the dates of the digest, you determine that you want messages 8 through 16 (June 5 through June 19). The file number is the last entry on each line. Send another message to: [email protected] In the subject, type: archive In the body, type: get volume97/8 volume97/9 volume97/1? where "?" is a UNIX wild-card meaning "any character"; "1?" will expand to 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19. You should get back all of those files as individual messages. For another List, substitute its name for "WILHITE". ************************************ Please NOTE: Messages to retrieve archives are sent to: [email protected] not to: [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] Also note that the line: get volume97/8 volume97/9 volume97/1? Is typed with no space between "volume" and "97/X", but with a space between each "volume97/X".

William E Ikerd by way of "George W. Durman, I am a descendent of Elizabeth WILHITE (sister to your Barbara) who married Joshua Cate (brother to your Samuel). I have pretty much the same information that you do. This information has been provided to me others who have done all of the hard work. I am sorry that I cannot provide you with any proof at this time but will let you know that I do have a note on Barbara WILHITE that says, "Lurene Bivin says Barbara may be the dau of Mathias Wilhite, brother of Adam." Sorry I cannot offer any "proof" one way or the other and I do not know how to contact Lurene Bivin. I would love to hear from though to compare our information on these common lines.

What you are looking for is the last column. The first numbers are the sizes of each Archive digest. Then the date and time of the Archive; then the Archive Number for that date. Note that some dates have more than one Archive. That is because there were so many messages for those dates that the file size would have exceeded the byte limit, or the number limit. Now for an example of how to retrieve the Archives for June 1, 1997. This date has two archives, Numbers 11 and 12. Send another message to [email protected] In the subject, type: Archive In the body, type: get volume97/11 volume97/12 NOTE: Type exactly as above. You will get back two messages, one for Archive Number 11, and one for Archive Number 12. You can also use a "wildcard" in the command in the body. Suppose you want the Archives numbered 10 through 19. You would type: get volume97/1? Then you would get back 10 individual messages, each containing an Archive with a different number. If you have difficulty, you might visit the RootsWeb site and study the instructions prepared by Listmaster Karen Isaacson. The URL is: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/members/archives.html (Thanks Karen!) I have experimented with this and have noticed that some of the earlier Archives are not formatted exactly properly. The later ones look exactly like the Digests you would receive if you were subscribed under the Digest Mode. Apparently, the archives of messages from the old MAISER Lists are not available. I know that they were transferred from MAISER to RootsWeb, but don't know if they will be made available later or not. If so, I will notify everyone.

Maybe it was too long. Anyway, here it is again. This is a news story concerning formation of a new internet genealogical socierty for the purpose of making thousands of .raw data and record available, FREE, on the internet. Would you be so kind as to run this story, or as much of it as you feel you can, on any lists that you own or control? Thank you By JOAN ROSE As one-stop shopping at the Mall has simplified buying habits, founders of a new national genealogical organization are hoping to do likewise with integrated research sites on the internet for American root tracers. Traditionally, American genealogists have had to rely on a paper trail in often distant libraries, musty courthouse basements and weed grown cemeteries to lead to their elusive ancestors. Only recently, in the last five years, have they turned to the Internet to find information that others have written into cyberspace for them. Internet resources have been multiplying rapidly in the past two years, but available information is often sketchy, always scattered and frequently without the documentation so dear to the earnest researcher�s heart. The United States Internet Genealogical Society in May was incorporated as a non-profit corporation under the laws of California with four major goals and lots of little ones. USIGS, as it will be known on the Net, not only will seek out, index and point to all kinds of research data for free public access online, but it will seek out funding grants and contributions to help defray the costs of puting it there. "The Internet will be the Genealogical Research Library of the 21st Century," believes James Streeter, USIGS president and a descendant of the Mayflower, who has been working on his family history for 35 years to include 6500 individuals in 50 generations. "USIGS brings a new concept to the genealogy community," he explained, inasmuch as "it is dedicated to provide FREE online access to records of interest to the entire genealogy community." To this end, USIGS will encourage volunteers, both individuals and groups, to transcribe their records to websites, it will correlate all such information now online and that which is to come, and it will raise funds to pay for costs incurred in such mammoth projects as eventually putting online U.S. Census records, a long-time dream of many internetters. USIGS is not unlike an international organization, IIGS, which came into being at the same time about two months ago, and with some overlapping founders. The two will not compete, but will complement each other and work together in some fields for the benefit of genealogists. USIGS, however, will concern itself with American records, primarily of the United States, while IIGS will be open for world-wide research. Unlike IIGS, USIGS has a tightly structured executive branch, including a 12-member board of directors, a staff of officers who will oversee all projects and fund-raising activities and appointed committees with definitely-delineated duties and missions. Besides Streeter, of Buena Park, Calif., newly-elected officers include: Tom Ward of Columbus, Kans., vice president; Linda Lewis of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., secretary; and Jerry E. Dill of Emmett, Idaho, treasurer. Board members are Don E. Dale of Kansas, David M. Leininger of Mahomet, Ill., and Billie McNamara of Knoxville, Tenn. , who are now holding one year terms; Donald L. Spidell of Safford, Ariz., Ken Hollingsworth of Redlands, Calif., John Rigdon of South Carolina, and Larry V. Stephens of Bloomington, Ind. , now holding two year terms; and Nancy Trice of Hopkins County, KY, Pat Smith of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, and John G. West of Evansville, Ind., who are now holding three year terms. Vacancies are now being filled by appointment as worthy Web Genealogists volunteer for membership. USIGS has set up a web site at: http://www.dsenter.com/usigs/ and is providing ongoing membership information to those who subscribe to its members list. Committees already formed and chairmen are listed. ?volunteers are needed to assist in all of them and in the various projects that are in process of getting started. At this time membership is free, and all interested are encouraged to sign on at the USIGS home page. Members will be asked to volunteer time, talents, expertise and ideas as needed and to spread the word to their local organizations and other online sites to assist USIGS in getting up and running. One of its main functions is to solicit grants from corporate sponsorship and other sources and through tax-deductible contributions. Streeter has indicated that "announcement of a major source of funding may be expected soon." Any funds received will be distributed to individuals or organizations for specific projects. No priority list has been set up to receive first funds available, but one major project identified by organizers has been the Census Project, beginning perhaps with that of 1850, to put the entire census data, state by state and county by county, on line. Streeter emphasized that all records funded by USIGS will be available on line free to anyone with internet access. USIGS was not set up to make money, he stressed, but to find money to further transcription and preservation of genealogical data at internet sites. USIGS does not plan to duplicate work already in progress by other online groups, such as the USGenWeb project, he noted, but to coordinate that work to make such data readily accessible. Streeter and other officers and directors are associated with one or more of these other organizations in top management and/or working positions. Work will depend largely on local volunteers who will be able to access various physical locations, transcribe or scan records and create a site online to store and maintain it. As envisioned, this is a program that will take many years to bring to fruition, and probably never will be completed. But as more and more research sources are transferred to the internet, more and more family tree tracers will be able to pursue their hobby at home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \ unsubscribe stop e-mailing me ----------

We have started the two new Lists: SURNAME-QUERY-L and RESEARCH-HOWTO-L Subscribing is the same as for other RootsWeb Lists. Here are brief descriptions for each List: RESEARCH-HOWTO-L: This List is for use by those who are just getting started in genealogy research, AND for those who are not novices, but have an actual need for information on where to go when "dead ends" are encountered. This List will deal with such things as courts' records, other official documents, ships' logs, Genealogy Societies, on-line databases, Web Pages, Lists (RootsWeb and others), Historical Societies, Libraries dedicated to genealogy (such as the McClung Library in Knoxville, TN), Locations of LDS Genealogy Centers, and any other subject(s) that arise in the discussion of Genealogy Tips, Tricks, Methods, Techniques, etc. SURNAME-QUERY-L: This List is a place for users to send queries on specific surname searches. Where a List already exists for a surname a user sends in, subscribers will let the user know the name of the List, how to subscribe, etc. For surnames for which a List doesn't exist, we will encourage all subscribers to help out if they have pertinent information. If it appears that there are sufficient posts for a particular surname, after a period of time, and that a new List is justified, we will attempt to have some user start and maintain a new surname List. If no one volunteers and we still think a new List is needed, one of the hundreds of "old timers" I am in touch with will request that RootsWeb allow the new List, and will maintain it. (The cost for a new SURNAME List will (hopefully) be bourne by users who are researching that particular name.} I am in contact with many "old timers", who have stated a willingness to assist on both these Lists. We welcome ANYONE who is willing to help us out and share experience, knowledge, or expertise. It is recognized that the number of Net/Web users doing genealogical research has multiplied many-fold in the past year, and that some of them just don't know where to go to find information. It is our aim to provide a "sounding board" for all genealogy researchers to make it easier to dig out information or data from those obscure places that some "old timer" researchers know about. SURNAME-QUERY-L is a List for doing specific research, while RESEARCH-HOWTO-L is a List for finding out HOW and WHERE to conduct research. We welcome all of you to participate, to send in your questions, to provide help when possible, but most of all to have fun with your genealogy research. If you join us, PLEASE read ALL of the Welcome Message, especially the latter part, where the RULES are found. I, as Listowner, do not intend to provide all answers to questions posted to either List. There will be other subscribers who will, hopefully, provide most of the help. My main task right now is to get these Lists up and running and providing a service to the genealogy research community.

EZEKIAL WILHITE: Is anyone working on EZEKIAL WILHITE (1797-1851), son of JULIUS WILHITE (1764-c1842)? EZEKIAL was born in TN and ended up at Morgan County, Alabama. I am following his son HUBBARD JACKSON WILHITE (born 1820 in Morgan County, Alabama). He moved to Illinois or Missouri??? after 1860. One of his children was MICHAEL JACKSON WILHITE (1854 to 1934) who was born in Morgan County, Alabama and died at Stoddard County, Missouri. [email protected] (619) 824-8923
