Hi Everyone: I need a little help in the right direction with a few Pennington's. Barbara Pennington born 1775 and died 1798, Does anyone know if she married and had children? John Pennington born 1777 did he marry? There was a listing for a William Pennington married to a Christina Mace. The book stated that William was the son of Richard. Is John and William the same person? Also Palcy Pennington married to Robert Minnes. Can anyone help with this one. I have a Robert MinnisJr., to Mary Pharis Jan 22, 1823. I'm thinking that he could be the son of Robert and Palcy. Any help in the right direction or information will be appreciated. Thanks Debbie

I have the Grave Register that the Chapman's did in 1996. I got it from McClain Publishing, Parsons.

Dear List members, I have hit the proverbial brick wall on my FOREST/FORREST family. JAMES FOREST/FORREST married MAZIE GORDON in Botetourt Co VA in 1805. (I believe Mazie was the daughter of GILES GORDON). This James Forest/Forrest next shows up in Gallia/Meigs Co OH circa 1807. The only other mention I've found for a James Forest/Forrest is a 1800 Botetourt Co VA tax list - upper district- for one male and one horse and I don't know if this is my James for sure. James' father was a JOHN FOREST/FORREST who was married at least twice (maybe three times). His last wife was ROSANA/ROSINA CARPENTER, daughter of JEREMIAH CARPENTER. They may have married in Randolph co. Family info give birthplaces for this Forest family as VA, PA, and NJ!!! Could I ask list members to check their data for any mention of FOREST, FORREST, GORDON, CARPENTER? Any clues or hints would be greatly appreciated and I would try to reciprocate in some way. Thank you for your attention. PENNY [email protected]

I also said the cost of copies was 50 cents. I got bombarded with messages saying FALSE, FALSE, UNTRUE. All ranging from you "have to have draft board, name, age, etc etc" to "Totally FALSE cost". "UNTRUE Post" and "You are Misleading People". Jeez what a mess !! Makes me almost wish I had never posted the message. So let me clarify things here. 1st things 1st. I called the Archives yesterday and spoke with the manager of the textural department who is in charge of the WW1 registration / application cards. The first thing I asked was: What's the cost of ordering the cards via mail? He said the cost is $10.00 per card. Doesn't matter if you have 10 people all with the last surname in the same state/county they charge by the card. I asked why was I told the cost was 50 cents? After much discussion and tracking down the person I spoke with it turned out to be a large misunderstanding - the person knew I came to the archives all the time and thought I meant the cost to use the copier at the archives. So OK the cost is not 50 cents it's an outrageous $10.00. I have e-mailed one of the officers of the Friends of the Archives to see if they will be willing to do the searching and copying for less money. As soon as I get an answer I'll let everyone know. Now the 2nd thing. If you go to the NARA on-line site for GA and request the form to order WW1 Draft Cards you will receive a form that says you have to furnish all kinds of information. THIS IS A STANDARD NARA FORM TO ORDER CARDS FROM THE LDS FILM!!!!! If you are ordering a look-up from any NARA branch other than the East Pointe branch you must give this information because the copy will be made from the LDS microfilm which IS in state and then Draft Board order. It is not by state and then county. The NARA staff needs the information on the form to be able to find the card on the LDS film. HOWEVER - all you have to do is write a letter to the East Pointe branch and request a copy of - here we go - pay attention !!! ORIGINAL DRAFT CARD and give them the state, the county and the name and race of the individual you want. The only areas where this will not work is for the largest cities in the US such as New York, Chicago, LA, etc. then you have to have a street or the draft board. These cities have not been sorted into surname order yet. And ALL of the states are located at the GA NARA Branch - they have not been split and sent anywhere else. Now I hope that this helps straighten out the information that is flying fast and furious around the lists. If you forwarded my other messages somewhere will you please forward this one also? And when you forward this message please leave my name and e-mail address included. People need to write to me if they have questions not flood the lists with posts about "untruth" and "false information". It only causes confusion. Thanks a lot and hope I have helped clear up this mess.

I have no more information other than what I have sent. To all who were wondering about the draft cards I spoke of earlier....I had picked up a form at a LDS library last year requesting WW1 draft registration cards. The form I have explains these cards like this: Draft registrations were held as follows: June 5, 1917 All men between the ages of 21 and 31 yrs of age were required to register. June 5, 1918 All men who had become 21 yrs of age since June 5, 1917. A supplemental registration is held on Aug. 24, 1918 at which time were men who had become 21 yrs of age since June 4, 1918 are required to register. Sept. 12, 1918 This registration provided for the registration of all men between the ages of 18 and 31 to 45 yrs of age. This was the third and final WW1 registration. If you'd like to send away for a copy of someone's registration card: $10.00 for each copy National Archives and Records Administration SE region 1557 St. Joseph Ave. East Point, Georgia 30344-2593 Include this information: Full name of person whom registered birthdate complete home address to include county at time of registration birthplace draft board location & registration date name of wife or nearest relative occupation **CITIES WHICH REQUIRE A STREET ADDRESS OR OTHER SPECIFIC INFORMATION******************************************************* California-Los Angeles & San Francisco ~ Washington D.C.~ Georgia-Atlanta Illinois-Chicago ~ Indiana-Indianapolis~ Kentucky-Louisville~Louisiana-New Orleans~Maryland-Baltimore~Massachusetts-Boston~Minnesota-Minneapolis & St. Paul~Missouri-Kansas City & St. Louis~New Jersey- Jersey City & Newark New York-Albany, Buffalo, NYC, & Syracuse~Ohio-Cincinnati & Cleveland~ Pennsylvania-Luzerne County, Philadelphia, & Pittsburgh~Rhode Island-Providence~Washington-Seattle~Wisconsin-Milwaukee sign your name to this and include your address & telephone number I did not know my "draft board location" and still received my copy of the card within a week. The information on the registration card is the persons name, address, age, home address, date of birth, natural born citizen/naturalized citizen/ alien?, where were you born?, if not a citizen of what country are you a citizen or subject?, what is your occupation?, by whom employed?, where employed?, have you any dependents?, married/single?, race?, what military service have you had? branch? yrs? Nation or state?, do you claim exemption from the draft? specify grounds, then actual signature of registrant On the back of the card is tall/medium/short?, slender/medium/stout?, Color of eyes? hair? bald? has person lost arm, leg, hand foot, or both eyes or is he otherwise disabled? My card was from a June 1917 draft. I don't know if anything varied on later drafts. ==== NJESSEX Mailing List ==== To Search the Archives for this List: <http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl> --part1_c77b6f08.24f22598_boundary--

She wanted to have this forwarded to any lists where the original appeared. ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date forwarded: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 04:44:53 -0700 (PDT) From: "Linda Haas Davenport" <[email protected]> Date sent: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 06:10:47 -0400 Subject: WWI Draft Cards - clarification I received about a dozen e-mails this morning all asking the same question so I know that I was not clear in my post yesterday. If you forwarded my message about the WWI draft cards being at the GA NARA branch will you please also forward this message? The original draft card applications (registrations) for every state (the entire US) are at East Pointe. According to the Archive Staff there are no plans to split these cards and move any of them to any other NARA location since East Pointe has been charged with the "custody" of these records. It is only the original cards that are in state / county / alpha order. Someone posted a message to one of the lists that NARA was planning on re-filming the cards since they are now in state / county / alpha order. If such a thing is underway it is unknown to the East Pointe archive staff and they should know if such a thing was in the works. If you request a copy of your ancestor's draft card from any NARA branch other than this one they will be searching the LDS microfilm and you will have to know the state and draft board for them to make a copy. It is only at the East Pointe location that you can request a copy by state and then county and the copy will be made from the ORIGINAL card. If I'm still unclear please let me know.

The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you. It is difficult for me to take the time off from work to visit the archive to do my own research <g>. And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on. >> --part1_52ffeedd.24ee35f1_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <[email protected]> Received: from rly-yd05.mx.aol.com (rly-yd05.mail.aol.com [172.18.150.5]) by air-yd03.mail.aol.com (v60.28) with ESMTP; Fri, 20 Aug 1999 00:22:25 2000 Received: from bl-14.rootsweb.com (bl-14.rootsweb.com [204.212.38.30]) by rly-yd05.mx.aol.com (v60.25) with ESMTP; Fri, 20 Aug 1999 00:22:16 -0400 Received: (from [email protected]) by bl-14.rootsweb.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id VAA21409; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 21:21:14 -0700 (PDT) Resent-Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 21:21:14 -0700 (PDT) From: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 00:20:20 EDT Subject: Fwd: World War 1 Draft Cards Old-To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Old-Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="part1_a7d07d75.24ee3184_boundary" X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 21 Resent-Message-ID: <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Resent-From: [email protected] X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/808 X-Loop: [email protected] Precedence: list Resent-Sender: [email protected] --part1_a7d07d75.24ee3184_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit --part1_a7d07d75.24ee3184_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <[email protected]> Received: from rly-yg01.mx.aol.com (rly-yg01.mail.aol.com [172.18.147.1]) by air-yg05.mail.aol.com (v60.28) with ESMTP; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 01:11:08 -0400 Received: from bl-14.rootsweb.com (bl-14.rootsweb.com [204.212.38.30]) by rly-yg01.mx.aol.com (v60.25) with ESMTP; Thu, 19 Aug 1999 01:10:51 -0400 Received: (from [email protected]) by bl-14.rootsweb.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA16756; Wed, 18 Aug 1999 22:09:20 -0700 (PDT) Resent-Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 22:09:20 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> From: "Elreeta Weathers" <[email protected]> Old-To: "CRAIN-L" <[email protected]> Subject: World War 1 Draft Cards Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 00:12:25 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Resent-Message-ID: <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Resent-From: [email protected] X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/661 X-Loop: [email protected] Precedence: list Resent-Sender: [email protected] M.

There's a new SSDI out. http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi

I'll be glad to do some lookups in the books I have here at home for anyone. Please in your subject line put "LOOKUP - (surname), (birth, marriage or death), (county)" to help me weed through faster so I'm not running ragged looking through books. Then give me the scoop of who I am looking for in the body of your email. I'll try to get back to you just as quickly as I can.

This California virus has proven to be a hoax. No need to worry. There are several websites that address new viruses, stating which are real, and also give virus scans for your computer so you can check to see if something is indeed infected your computer. Remember, never download anything unless you know the source.
