Notes for THOMAS ELAM:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cwbush/elam.htm

The name Elam is English and is derived from Elham a village near Canterbury, Kent county England.  Elham is probably a contraction of Elmham meaning a village of elms, and residents of that community first bore the name elham which afterwards became Elam.  The early Elams belonged to the gentry as distinguished from the nobility.

4.  GILBERT3 ELAM, SR. (THOMAS2, JAMES1) was born 1630 in Yorkshire, England, and died Abt. 1696 in Henrico, Virginia.  He married ANN ELAM, daughter of ROBERT ELAM and ANN.  She was born 1629 in England, and died 17 Feb 1692/93 in Henrico, Virginia.

Notes for GILBERT ELAM, SR.:
It is not known when Gilbert Elam arrived in Virginia. How much earlier than
September 1661, Gilbert Elam was in the colony does not appear, but in that
month he had a pattent for land on the south side of the James River. He
appears in the list of tithables for 1679. 

William Worsham was in Henrico certainly as early as November 1640 for in a patent granted to William and George Worsham in November 1652 it is stated that a part of the said land was sold by Seth Ward to the said William Worsham 2 November 1640.  William Worsham was the father of John Worsham, of the list, and "Mr. George Worsham", of the list, was the patentee.  The Elams were represented in Henrico as early as November 1642 in the person of Robert Elam who at that date had a patent for land above Bermuda Hundred, between the lands of Thomas Sheppy and Richard Johnson and among the headrights to the patent is the name of Ann Elam.  It appears from the records that Ann, the daughter of Robert Elam, married Gilbert Elam, who appears in the list for 1679 as"Mr Gilbert Elam, sen".  How much earlier than September 1661 Gilbert Elam was in the colony does not appear but in that month he had a patent for land on south side of James River, between the lands of Thomas Sheppy and Richard Johnson.  At what date William Elam came into the colony is not known.  Martin Elam had a patent in 1672.  The degree of relationship existing between Gilbert Elam, William Elam and Martin Elam is not disclosed by the remaining records, nor is the degree of relationship existing between any one of the trio and Robert Elam given, with the exception that Gilbert married the daughter of Robert.  William Elam and Martin Elam were, however, doubtless uncle and nephew as William Elam in his will dated 18 February 1688-9 devised property to "my loving cozen Martin Elam", the term cousin being in that day generally applied to nephews and nieces.  Then in his will dated 7 March 1691-2, Martin Elam bequeathes several articles which, he says, were "my uncles".  Martin Elam also mentions in his will silver spoons "two of them on old Robert Elam's mark".

Thomas Elam

Thomas Elam was born ~1663 in Henrico County, VA. He died 1696 probably in Henrico County. 

Thomas Elam married Elizabeth Perrin on May 26, 1694 in Henrico County, VA based upon St. John's Church, Henrico Parish records (Moore, Stanton, The Annals & History of Henrico Parish Diocese of Virginia). However, the Henrico County Court Records, Vol 5, pg 552 indicate that Thos. Elam married Elizabeth Bevin on May 26, 1694. A 2nd source is Marriages of Henrico County by Joyce H. Lindsay.

Land records appear to support the Bevin surname. (Elizabeth Perin/Bevin had a total of 4 marriages (see below). Her name at the time of her death was Elizabeth Perrin/Bevin Elam Paine Shepherd Burton.)

A deed dated October 30, 1758 inidicates that William Shepherd, his wife Sarah, and Elizabeth Borton (Burton) sold 300 acres of land given unto the above named Eliz. Burton and unto her two brothers, namely William & Matthew, by her father William Bevin in his last will & testament on 1st day of Feb, 1685 in Henrico County (Chesterfield County Deeds V. 3, pg 298). This land was sold in 1759 by John Covington "part of which was purchased from William Shepherd & his mother Elizabeth Burton." 

William Bevin's will mentions his daughter Elizabeth. Shortly after William Bevin's death, his widow Elizabeth married Francis Maybury. Elizabeth Maybury's will, probated 15 Feb 1715, mentions "my daughter Elizabeth Paine, widow". (Surry County Wills, Vol 6 page 261). 

Elizabeth Perrin/Bevin Elam Paine Shepherd Burton died 4/14/1759 in Chesterfield County, VA.

Thomas & Elizabeth Elam had one child:
 Name Birth Death Spouse 
 Elizabeth 1696 After 1757 John Grizzle (Grissel)
marr. between 1710 & 1719 

Elizabeth Perrin/Bevin Elam married Thomas Paine. They had the following children: William, Thomas, Charles, Ann, Judey, and Sarah.
Elizabeth Perrin/Bevin Elam Paine married Isaac Shepherd. They had two children: Isaac and William.
Elizabeth Perrin/Bevin Elam Paine Shepherd married John Burton. No children.

Notes for JOHN ELAM:

John Elam (John , Martin , Thomas , James ) was born 1700/1710. He died 1, 2 1788.
[Notes] 
John married Martha Dudley on 3 Jun 1774 in Va, Chesterfield. Martha was born 1695 in Virginia.
They had the following children: 
+ 87 M i Edward Elam was born about 1734 and died 1811. 
+ 88 M ii William Elam was born 1730/1732 and died 1809.

  92 M vi John Edward Elam Jr. 
  93 M vii Martin Elam 
  94 M viii Almond Elam 
  95 M ix Alexander Elam 1 died about 1789.

http://members.aol.com/VA1607/ancestry.html
Although the evidence is only circumstantial, it is believed that Joel Elam is the son of John Elam, Jr.
John Elam, Jr. (abt. 1700- ) was the son of John Elam, Sr. and his wife, Mary.
John Elam, Sr. (1677- ? ) was the son of Martin Elam.
Martin may have been the son of Robert Elam since Martin apparently inherited two silver spoons bearing "Old Robert's mark," which Martin bequeathed in his will. Martin, arriving in Virginia from England in 1638, was the first Elam in America.
However, it now appears more likely that Martin's parents were Thomas Elam and Mary Shirecliffe. A baptismal record shows that they were the parents of a Martin Elam born 5 April 1635 at Thurnscoe parish church, Yorkshire, England. This year of baptism matches the estimated year of birth of the Martin Elam of Virginia.
James Shirecliffe and his wife, Alice were the parents of Mary Shirecliffe.
The Elam family in England was originally from Kent county, in the southeastern part of the country. The name Elam is English and is derived from Elham, a village near Canterbury in Kent county. Elham is probably a contraction of Elmham, meaning a village of elms.
The Elams in England belonged to the gentry as distinguished from the nobility. The first known Elam lived in 1273. The family later lived in Kent, Suffolk, Somerset, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and elsewhere in England.

Notes for MARTHA ARCHER:
http://www.virginians.com/redirect.htm?topics&a
Martha Archer [A.1.2.5] (19 Jan. 1727/8  -1778) married first Thomas Dudley. 
 Thomas was dead by December 1768 when the court granted letters of administration to Martha Dudley, his widow.  
 As Martha Dudley she married John Elam in Chesterfield County 3 June (bond) 1774.  
  
 Martha (Archer) Dudley Elam died in Chesterfield County (will dated 10 April 1776 , proved 6 Mar. 1778 ). She held land in Mecklenburg County  and left slaves to her brother John Archer and his sons John Archer and William Archer. Executors were John Archer and William Green — most likely the husband of Martha’s niece Martha Archer [A.1.2.4.1]. She did not mention her husband. 
 Though living, John did not appear in the 1783 county enumeration of Chesterfield County. He was perhaps in the household of his son Samuel Elam who was then head of a household of eight whites and eight blacks.  
 John Elam was dead by October 1788 when the court granted Samuel Elam administration of his estate.

I haven't worked on my ELAM line in quite a while, so forgive me if I'm a bit rusty.

Anyway, there has been discussion about this couple in the past. I feel that this John ELAM was probably the son of Richard ELAM and Sarah ARCHER, which would make him the brother of my ancestor Martin ELAM.

However, several researchers claim that Martha's husband was the John ELAM who died ca 1788.

I believe this to be incorrect because John was dead when Martha wrote her will in April 1776. Proof of this is twofold:

1. Martha's will makes no mention of her husband John, and her executors  were her brother John ARCHER and friend William GREEN. In those days, and today for that matter, if a woman's husband was living, he was almost  always named the executor.

2. In her will, Martha disposed of negroes that belonged to her husband John for life per their marriage contract. 

John and Martha's marriage contract, found in Chesterfield Co. VA Deed Book 7:403 states "June 7, 1774. Martha Dudley, widow of Thomas Dudley, deceased, of Chesterfield County, of the first part; John Elam of Chesterfield  County, of the second part, Archer Trayler of Chesterfield County. of the third part. Whereas marriage suddenly intended to be solemnized between said  Martha Dudley and John Elam, agreed that said Martha shall have absolute  and sole right in 5 negros, Juba, Tom, Jane, Primus and Phillis and their
increase, feather beds and furniture, -- said John Elam shall have profit and use of said negroes and other estate during life of said Martha, if he lives so long and no longer. Witnesses -- Joseph Trayler and William Trayler." 

Martha's will, found in Chesterfield Co. VA Will Book 3:148 is abstracted below --

To my brother John Archer, negro Juba
To my nephew John Archer negroes Tom, Jane, and her child Primus, feather bed and furniture, desk and table. 
To my nephew William Archer negro Phyllis, feather bed and furniture but in case either nephew die under 21 years of age survivor to have estate left.
Brother John Archer, use of negroes Tom and Jane until my nephew John Archer arrive to 21 years of age. 
Executors: brother John Archer and friend William Green 
Dated 10 April 1776 
Witnesses: Geo. Markham, John Hill

Friends,

OK, I am not too proud to admit when I am wrong. I blame it on
oxygen deprevation brought on by my asthma! <G>

Anyway, I have read the marriage contract between John ELAM and Martha DUDLEY dozens of times, but for some reason I always missed the fact that it said that John had full right to the slaves during *MARTHA's* lifetime for as long as he lives and no longer. I can't believe I didn't pick up on that after all these years. These must have been slaves Martha brought into her marriage and that is why she was allowed to dispose of them in her will. So, her husband John could have been alive when she wrote her will.

I am still at a loss to explain why John was not the executor of her will, or at least mentioned in it. A further look into her estate records may explain this. It could be that John was ill or enfeebled in some way. 

So, I admit, the John ELAM who married Martha DUDLEY was probably the man who died in 1788 rather than the son
of Richard ELAM.

Thanks to Earl Elam for helping me to see the light. <G>

Cassie, you made mention of marriage date (3 June 1774) may be typo.

      Added by Kent Elam, the submitter:      This deed is of a piece of land that Thomas R. Elam, Daniel's nephew  bought in 1858. It too is in this area. Thomas was the orphan of  Andrew G. Elam, older brother to Daniel. Daniel was Thomas's guardian and presumed raised by Daniel. Thomas was killed in the Civil War in 1862. A tragic end to a family that had experienced much sadness.  Andrew's wife Matilda Puryear died young after giving birth to Thomas.  Andrew died a few years later leaving Thomas as an orphan. Thomas was their only child and killed in 1862 leaving a young bride and a son  who died an infant. This branch of the family just died out. I believe that Thomas's (first) wife was Henrietta Overby.

Lineage of William Elam of Charlotte Co. VA and Edgefield Co. SC(c. 1724/1734-1809} William Elam's origin has not been authenticated, 
but circumstantial evidence suggests that he was a son of John (Edward?) Elam Sr.(c. 1688-1750s)and wife, Mary, of Chesterfield Co. VA.
 John was a son of Martin Elam (1635-1695) who was baptized in Thurnscoe Parish, Yorkshire, England, in 1635.
 Martin and his brother, Gilbert Elam (1629-1696) were sons of Thomas and Mary Elam of Thurnscoe Parish.
 Both Martin and Gilbert migrated to Virginia, probably together.
 The exact date of their arrival in Virginia is unknown, but Gilbert was in the Bermuda Hundred region by 1659, married to Ann Elam, daughter of Robert Elam, the first known Elam to migrate to America from England. 
At a time undocumented, Martin married Frances Perrin and they lived in the community of Bermuda Hundred and perhaps on other land which he acquired in the region. 
In addition to their son, John, they had a son, Martin Elam Jr. (d. 1705), and three daughters: Mary, Frances, and Martha.
 After Martin Elam Sr. died in 1695, John Elam lived with his mother and her second husband, Francis Patram, on property that Martin had owned in Bermuda Hundred. 

Around 1715 John married a lady named Mary; their children have not been documented with certainty, but again circumstantial evidence indicates that they were parents of Martin Elam (c. 1716-1738), John Elam Jr.(c. 1718-1788), Edward Elam (c. 1722/30-1810), William Elam (c. 1724/34-1809), Alexander Elam (c. 1726-1789), and Joel Elam (1736-1798). 

William Elam first appears in records as a young man who, cited as a resident of Dinwiddie Co. VA, acquired land in 1752 bordering the Bluestone Creek in what is now Charlotte Co. VA; he sold this land and other tracts he had subsequently acquired in 1789 to his sons, Martin Elam and Solomon Harmon Elam, and went to Edgefield County, SC, where another son, John Elam, had previously established residence.

 William made his will in Edgefield Co. in 1805; it was probated in 1809. His wife was named Judith. No further information has been found about her.  William and Judith Elam had the following children: Solomon Harmon Elam(c.1758-1843); John Elam(c.1759-1824); Martin Elam (c. 1762/65-1810/18); Frances Elam (b. ca. 1767); and Elizabeth Elam(b. ca. 1769).  Solomon Harmon Elam m. Phoebe Osborne in Charlotte Co., VA
. Their children were: William Elam (b. c. 1784); Reps Jones Elam (b. c. 1786); Harmon Elam (1788-1838); Edna Goode Elam (b. 1790); Lucinda Elam; Osborne Elam; and Betsy Ann Elam. John Elam m. (1) Mary (?) and their children were Mary Elam (1777-1852) and Susannah Elam (b. 1779). John m. (2) Mary Minter Yates; they had no children.
 Frances Elam m. Peter Word. Elizabeth Elam m. John Burress
. Martin Elam m. Judith Barnes (c. 1769-1849;their son, George Barnes Elam, was born in Charlotte Co. VA in 1788.
 They moved to Edgefield Co., SC, in 1790 or 1791. George Barnes Elam (1788-1847) m. Mary Bugg of Richmond Co., GA, in 1816.
 They had the following children: William Francis Elam (1817-1897, George Barnes Elam Jr. (II) (1819-1891), Martin B. Elam (1820-1851), Patrick Henry Elam (1822-1852), Caroline Parrish Elam (b. 1824), Cornelia Margaret Elam (1829-1894). George Barnes Elam Jr. (II) married Tabitha Angeline (Angie) Carter in Holmes Co., MS, c. 1849-50; they acquired several tracts of land in the eastern part of the county northeast of Durant, adjoining Durant, and near the Big Black River in Holmes and Attala counties.
 They sold out and moved to Drew Co. Arkansas in 1859-60 and acquired land located east of Monticello.
 They sold the land in Drew County in 1864 and reportedly went to Texas where they stayed until the end of the Civil War. 
They then went back to Holmes County. Their children were (1) baby son, died in 1851; (2) Mary Parrish Elam; (3) Patrick Henry Elam (4) George Barnes Elam III; (5) Martin Holmes Elam; (6) William Francis Elam;(7) James Bugg Elam; (8) John Henry Elam; (9) Frances Tabitha (?)Elam; and (10) Benjamin Jordan Elam.
 George died in 1891; his grave is believed to be in the Springhill Cemetery in Holmes Co. where his mother and other relatives are buried. Angie died in 1899.
 Her burial place is unknown but it may have been in or near Leonard, TX, where she purchased and sold lots in 1898. The above individuals are discussed at length in my book: From Virginia to Texas: A History of the Elam Family with Emphasis on the Ancestors and Descendants of John H.

Joel ELAM. Born in 1736 in VA. died in Mecklenburg co., VA on 6 Sep 1798. Religion: Baptist.

Website notes: He fought in the French and Indian War (1754-1763) in the Virginia Militia. Joel also rendered patriotic (as distinguished from military) service during the Revolutionary War. In 1777 Joel and his son Alexander signed a petition directed to the Virginia House of Delegates which urged the expulsion from the state of all British natives who were not loyal to the Revolutionary cause. In May 1780 the Virginia General Assembly passed an Act authorizing the purchase, and if necessary, the involuntary seizure of goods from the citizenry for the purpose of supplying the state militia, the Continental troops and its allies with needed provisions in the war against England. Pursuant to this Act, the following property of Joel Elam was taken: 

7 1/2 bushells of wheat
325 pounds of beef
20 pounds of bacon

Joel was a charter member of Meherrin Baptist Church in 1771. He owned land on the Middle Bluestone creek in Lunenburg county, Virginia. This land became part of Mecklenburg county when it was formed in 1765. Joel owned a slave named Jerry.

Notes of Kent Elam 18 Sep 2000 
This page was last updated September 19, 2000 

Some time back I put this list together for another researcher. I will post it here and ask JoLee to include it at the new "People of Color" link at the Mecklenburg County webpage. (Note: This may not be an all inclusive list.) I descend from John Elam (1806 - 1874) of Mecklenburg co. VA, later of Iredell co. NC. John had an older brother Daniel of Mecklenburg co. In Daniel's will (1863), the following slaves are mentioned:

Horrace
Armistead
Sonder or (Souder)
Peggy and her child Richard
Sam
Fanny and her two children Giles and Emily

The above slaves were left to his wife Elizabeth. In his estate inventory, the following slaves are mentioned. (I believe that the similiar names from this list and the above list are the same individuals)

1 boy William
1 boy Henry or Harry
1 man Horace
1 man Armistead
1 man Sonder or (Souder)
1 man Sam
1 boy Giles
1 boy Jimmy
1 girl Emily
1 girl Fanny
1 woman Harriet and 4 children
1 woman Matilda and 3 children
1 woman Catherine and 1 child
1 woman Peggy
1 boy Richard

John Elam had another brother, Andrew G. Elam, also of Mecklenburg co. In his estate inventory (1843) the following slaves are mentioned:
Fanny and her child George
Andrew's son Thomas R. Elam was killed in the Civil War (1862). In his estate inventory, his wife Harriet received the following slaves:

1 man George
1 boy Silas
1 woman Fanny
I believe Fanny and George to be from his father Andrew's estate.
If I go back farther. John's father, Peter Elam (1790's), of Mecklenburg county had at least two slaves by the names of Claiborne and Gilbert.
Peter's father Joel Elam (1790's) had Jeremiah or Jerry and later he had Abraham, Boldy, Thurmond(?), Lucy, Lott.
Peter's brother Alexander Elam (1790's) had Jane, Jenny, Grace, Bob, Jerry,Jim, John, Will.
Peter's other brother James Elam (1790's) had Stepney, Jack, Amos, Judy, Aggy, Hannah, Jude, Phebe, Nan, Philip, Pat, Gilbert, China, Liberty.

It does not seem to me that all of these individuals were owned at the same time. These names were gleaned by me from the personal property tax lists from Mecklenburg co. that covered many tax years.
In Mecklenburg county from 1797 to 1799 was a Barkley Elam (he later moved to Halifax co.). He had the following slaves, Harry, Crit, Amy and Mick.
There was an older John Elam whom I believe to be from Charlotte co. who lived in Mecklenburg co. from about 1801 to around 1830 (when he moved back to Charlotte co.). It is possible that he may be a cousin to the above Elams in my line. He owned the following slaves, Jack, Candice, Mary, Moriah, Jenny, Bob.
I hope this helps someone.

There is still a remnant of that family there.

Note   The following paragraph was written by Nancy Newland: 

"Joel Elam was the fourth son of John Elam. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War of the 1750's and also in the Revolutionary War. For the former he received Bounty Land in Lunenburg Co. VA before he was married there in 1758. In 1782 a census was taken in Mecklenburg Co., VA and he was on it with 11 whites and no slaves. He hadn't moved. Mecklenburg County had been formed out of his section of Lunenburg County in 1765. He was a Charter Member of the Meherrin Baptist Church. My theory is that Joel Elam was converted from the Church of England of his ancestors to Baptist at that time. The Baptist influence originated in that area about 1768 when a Samuel Thompson invited his "wicked" neighbors to his home to read books and the Bible. He held great revivals in that year and invited a fellow recently converted in Guilford Co., NC named Jeremiah Walker to preach in the community. Before long Rev. Walker was instrumental in starting twenty churches south of the James River. His church was Nottoway. From it's beginning in 1769 to about 1784 it grew to be the largest church in Virginia with 260 members. Joel Elam's Meherrin Baptist Church was about 20 miles from it. Three Elam brothers, Joel, Edward, and William, and their families probably made up a good portion of the congregation. We have no knowledge of other Elams who may have attended."

Notes for PHOEBE HILL:
http://members.aol.com/VA1607/Phebe.html
We know that Joel Elam's first wife was named Phebe. The will of William Hill, filed in Mecklenburg co., VA. in 1777 makes a substantial bequest to "James Elam, son of Joel Elam and Phebe his wife." The will is witnessed by Joel Elam and his daughter, Patty Elam. From this bequest, many have concluded that Phebe Elam's maiden name was Phebe Hill, and that her father was William Hill.
Both Joel Elam and William Hill owned land on the Bluestone Creek in Mecklenburg co., and there are recorded land transactions between these two men.
Joel's will was witnessed by a William Hill, possibly a nephew of the William Hill who died in 1777.
The mother of Phebe Hill Elam may have been Phebe Branch Hill, who was the daughter of James Branch.
Phebe Branch was a great granddaugher of Christopher Branch, who immigrated from England to Virginia in 1620. Adventurers of the Purse and Person, revised and edited by Virginia M. Meyer and John Frederick Dorman, published 1956 by Order of First Families of Virginia
Christopher Branch was a descendant of King Henry I of England. Royal Descents of 500 Immigrants, by Gary Boyd Roberts, published 1993 by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD
Evidence that Phebe Branch may have been Phebe Hill's mother:
The will of Mary Branch, filed in Chesterfield co, VA and signed in 1750 names Phebe Hill as one of her daughters. Was William Hill the husband of this Phebe? Did they name their daughter after the mother?
The Elam Family Research Page shows Joel's son, James as having the middle name Branch. Anyone who has documentation that this in fact was his middle name, please e-mail me. The father of Phebe Branch was James Branch.
Phebe Branch and Phebe Hill are one generation a part in their ages. Both women appear to be from upper middle class "planter" backgrounds.
Chesterfield county, home of Mary Branch and Mecklenburg county, home of Joel and Phebe Elam are close to each other.
There are historical ties between the Branch and Elam families
Both the Branch and Elam families originally lived in Henrico and Chesterfield counties.
In 1638, Christopher Branch was granted land in payment of his transporting Robert Elam from England to VA.
Mary Addie, the mother of Christopher Branch lived in that part of Yorkshire, England which was near various Elam families.
There have been other intermarriages betweeen the Elam and Branch families.

Notes for EDWARD ELAM:

The Edward ELAM b.abt 1769 VA d.1830 Williamson Co, Tennessee,(this Edward was the son of Joel ELAM & Phebe HILL)married 1791 Lunenburg Co, VA Jennie PAMPLIN were NOT the parents of Mary Polly ELAM b.abt 1769 VA d.1809 VA that married James ELMORE.  As you see that James ELAM b. 1769 and Mary Polly ELAM b.abt 1769 were born same time frame, they were cousins of sorts.
Mary Polly ELAM b.abt 1769 parents were Edward ELAM I(SR) b.abt 1733 VA,(the son of John ELAM & Mary Unknown), and Jane (Unknown. Joel ELAM b.abt 1736 & Edward ELAM I(Sr) b.abt 1733 were brothers and sons of John & Mary(Unknown)ELAM. The Mary Polly ELAM who married James ELMORE was a sister of my Edward ELAM II(JR) who married Martha SMITH. Both Mary Polly b.abt 1769 ELAM and My Edward ELAM II(JR) b.abt 1765 were children of Edward ELAM I(SR) & Jane
Unknown. I have two lines of ELAM thru my paternal grandmother Morna Evalene (BESS) HIMES so have had to sort thru many ELAM families.
My ancestry going back earlier from both sets of my grandparents is in the HIMES line link of my homepage if you care to read it.

EDWARD ELAM BIBLE RECORDS

Edward Elam was born in Charlotte County, VA in 1786.  He married 1)  Martha Smith and 2) Lettuce Chaffin Wallace, widow of John Wallace. He  left Charlotte County ca. 1814, may have spent some time in Rutherford  County, NC, moved on to Tennessee, and died in Greenville, IL in 1840. 

These two pages are posted in hopes they may stimulate discussion and  research. The Edward Elam Bible is reported to have been the property of the late William Bell Elam of Medina, TN.  Thanks to Marilynn Masten, who provided copies to me and who has determined that the current location of the Bible is unknown. Names and dates are handwritten in list form on both pages.  Identifying information and 
dittos written in the same hand preceed several of the names.  Those notations are indicated here with brackets. I have tried to duplicate 
this handwritten list as closely as possible.

Two pages reported to have been copied from the Bible of Edward Elam (1765-1840) of Charlotte County, VA and Greenville, IL

Subject: ELAM ROLL CALL 
Date: Thu, 03 Sep 1998 20:33:07 -0700 
From: Harry Wareham <harware@redshift.com> 
To: ELAM-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com 
I received my family information (undocumented) from an uncle (now deceased) I'm now trying 
to 
prove info. I feel fairly confident about information from John Elam Jr. (1710 - forward; not 
nearly 
as confident of link from John Sr. (Abt 1680-) back to Martin Elam Sr. (Abt 1635-abt 1691) I 
welcome any corrections and any information on any of these Elams. I'm specifically looking for 
the 
following information. 
Where was Edward Sr. born? 
Was his wife's name Jane? 
Does anyone have a copy of the Elam book by Bryte Elam Lane of Ramseur, N.C.? 
Where did Anderson Samuel die? He was evidently buried in a "New Bethel Cemetery" but I 
don't 
know location of cemetery. 
Thanks for any help; and a BIG thanks to Cassie for taking over list. I was another who was too 
intimidated to ever post to the Helm list.

 Thomas Easterling, was born and reared in Russell County, VA.Evidently, he started his married life in VA for census recordsreveal that Walter E. Easterling, a son of William, was bornthere in 1818. This census also reveals that there was onechild (unnamed) who was older than Walter E. with a probabledate of birth of 1816. From this data, one can assume thatWilliam married his wife, Susannah Elam, about 1815 in VA andthat he lived there until about 1818 or later. William and histwo brothers, Henry and Thomas Jr., all sons of ThomasEasterling of Russell Co., VA married three Elam sisters,Susannah, Fancina, and Joannah, daughters of Walter Elam andNancy Raines (Ranze,Reigns?) of Morgan Co., KY ThomasEasterling's daughter, Mary E. (Polly) Easterling, also marriedan Elam. Her husband, Nimrod Elam, was a nephew of Walter Elamand the son of William and Susannah Elam of Scott Co., VA.Walter Elam, the father-in-law of William, Henry and ThomasEasterling, lived in Scott and Russell counties of Virginia andapparently knew the Easterlings prior to moving to Morgan Co.,KY. It is know that Walter Elam moved to Morgan Co. in 1818,and it is probable that William Easterling and familyaccompanied him or came shortly thereafter. Henry and Thomas,William's brothers, both married in Morgan Co.,--Henry in 1820and Thomas in 1824. It is probable that William preceded themto KY and with the help of his fater-in-law, Walter Elam,assisted his brothers in finding suitable farm land in MorganCo. The Easterling farms were near West Liberty, Morgan Co.,KY. The Elam family trace their lineage to a Robert Elam whopatented land in Chesterfield Co., VA in 1638. Fivegenerations later, Walter Elam moved from Chesterfield Co., toRussell County, VA and thence to Morgan Co., KY. The name"Elam" is English Canterbury, Kent County, England. Elham isprobably a contraction of Elmham, meaning a village of Elams.William Easterling married Susannah Elam about 1815. BothWilliam and Susannah were born in 1795 and died within a yearof each other--Susannah in August 1879 and William in May 1880.William and Susannah had at least twelve children.

     Added by Kent Elam, the submitter:     This deed is of a piece of land that Thomas R. Elam, Daniel's nephew  bought in 1858. It too is in this area. Thomas was the orphan of  Andrew G. Elam, older brother to Daniel. Daniel was Thomas's guardian and presumed raised by Daniel. Thomas was killed in the Civil War in 1862. A tragic end to a family that had experienced much sadness.  Andrew's wife Matilda Puryear died young after giving birth to Thomas.  Andrew died a few years later leaving Thomas as an orphan. Thomas was   their only child and killed in 1862 leaving a young bride and a son who died an infant. This branch of the family just died out. I believe that Thomas's (first) wife was Henrietta Overby.

Moses ELAM, farmer, P. O. Mulberry Grove. Among the substantial citizens of Bond County none are more highly respected than the above. He was born October 25, 1821, in Rutherford County, N. C., and emigrated to Fayette County with his parents when a mere lad. Here he remained about fifteen years. December 23, 1841, he married Martha F. ELAM, who was born Jan. 12, 1827, a native of Virginia, daughter of Daniel ELAM and Mary GRAVES, who emigrated from Virginia to Maury County, Tenn., about the year 1828, where they remained until the year 1831, when they removed to Bond County, stopping near 

Greenville, but remained a short time, and located permanently in Fayette County, where they remained until their death. Their deaths occurred in 1862 and 1854 respectively.

Notes for THOMAS ELAM:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilbond/1882bios/query017.htm
F. M. ELAM, farmer, P. O. Woburn. One of the largest land-holders and most successful farmers in Town 6, Range 2, is Francis Marion ELAM, known among his friends as "General", not that he earned the title from his association with gory battle- fields or valorous deeds in martial array, but his father dubbed him with this handle to his name when a youth, which name he has since borne. This gentleman was born in Rutherford County, N. C., April 18, 1826, the eldest son and fifth child born to his parents, who were Thomas and Elizabeth ELAM, the latter a daughter of Edward ELAM. The paternal grandsire of Francis M. was Alexander, a native of Virginia, who emigrated to North Carolina. In 1827, the family moved to Sumner County, Tenn., where they remained until 1833, when they came to Fayette County, this State; here Thomas ELAM died in 1854, his wife dying in 1877; he and wife were members of the United Baptist Church. Twelve children were born to them, nine of the number lived to be grown, viz., Susan, Nancy, Cicely F. M., Thomas A., Sabra C., Lovincia, Sarah and Edward. Francis M. remained at home until he reached his majority. In 1846, he married Nancy, born in Sangamon County, this State, daughter of Richard WALKER, a Kentuckian by birth. When Mr. ELAM was married he moved to this township; he had a small commencement in the way of this world's goods; had one yoke of young steers, three cows and a three-year-old filly. His outfit for keeping house was bought for $5; he worked hard during the day, and at night he made such furniture as they most needed; with a cheerful heart and willing hand he pushed ahead, and as fast as he made money he invested it in land. In 1849, he located where he now resides. Before he divided up his land among his sons he owned 1,200 acres; he has now about 700. He has been a zealous member of the United Baptist Church for many years. Liberty Church, of which he is an officer, stands upon the land he deeded for that purpose. Of the following eight children born to him but five are living - Mary E., James F., John S., A. J., Daniel E., Sarah, Samuel D. and Joel A..

Re: the "taking of property" - The Elam's in Mecklenburg and in
Charlotte Counties did not have property seized - they gave it, got a
receipt, and turned it into the local Court for reimbursement. One of
them, Edward, was once paid for delivering the goods. The amounts of
beef, bacon, fodder, etc. given by the citizens are listed in VA
Revolutionary War Claims Records. Here is what they had to swear to
before being paid: "Ordered that the Clerk previous to the passing of any
certificate offered this Court for examination administer an oath to the
claimant that the articles therein contained have been bona fide
delivered and the services performed for which such certificate is
granted, and that no satisfaction have been made for the same....."

following Elams are listed in the DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition

This means only that descendant(s) of the men named have joined the DAR.
It is not a list of all the Elams known to have given Revolutionary War
service. The list will be longer when other descendants who may be
interested in joining the DAR prove their lineage to a "Revolutionary

Repps J. Elam, born in Charlotte County, VA, was the son of Solomon
Harmon Elam of Charlotte County, VA. His mother was Phebe Osborne,
daughter of Repps Osborne. Solomon Harmon Elam was the son of William
Elam and his wife Judith (unknown). Repps J. Elam married 1) Mary
Gregory, the daughter of Joseph Gregory and 2) Elizabeth B. Stokes. He
had one known child, Elizabeth, by Mary, and two known children, David
and Adaline, by Elizabeth. Repps J. Elam died in Charlotte County after
6 November 1843, but before the 1850 census. Elizabeth survived him.

Notes for THOMAS ELAM:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilbond/1882bios/query017.htm
F. M. ELAM, farmer, P. O. Woburn. One of the largest land-holders and most successful farmers in Town 6, Range 2, is Francis Marion ELAM, known among his friends as "General", not that he earned the title from his association with gory battle- fields or valorous deeds in martial array, but his father dubbed him with this handle to his name when a youth, which name he has since borne. This gentleman was born in Rutherford County, N. C., April 18, 1826, the eldest son and fifth child born to his parents, who were Thomas and Elizabeth ELAM, the latter a daughter of Edward ELAM. The paternal grandsire of Francis M. was Alexander, a native of Virginia, who emigrated to North Carolina. In 1827, the family moved to Sumner County, Tenn., where they remained until 1833, when they came to Fayette County, this State; here Thomas ELAM died in 1854, his wife dying in 1877; he and wife were members of the United Baptist Church. Twelve children were born to them, nine of the number lived to be grown, viz., Susan, Nancy, Cicely F. M., Thomas A., Sabra C., Lovincia, Sarah and Edward. Francis M. remained at home until he reached his majority. In 1846, he married Nancy, born in Sangamon County, this State, daughter of Richard WALKER, a Kentuckian by birth. When Mr. ELAM was married he moved to this township; he had a small commencement in the way of this world's goods; had one yoke of young steers, three cows and a three-year-old filly. His outfit for keeping house was bought for $5; he worked hard during the day, and at night he made such furniture as they most needed; with a cheerful heart and willing hand he pushed ahead, and as fast as he made money he invested it in land. In 1849, he located where he now resides. Before he divided up his land among his sons he owned 1,200 acres; he has now about 700. He has been a zealous member of the United Baptist Church for many years. Liberty Church, of which he is an officer, stands upon the land he deeded for that purpose. Of the following eight children born to him but five are living - Mary E., James F., John S., A. J., Daniel E., Sarah, Samuel D. and Joel A..

Notes for SARAH PREWITT:
 From William Thomas Pyle's Notebook....November 7, 1867
"I have heard the name of only two of Dr. Elam's children: they were Francis Elam who went to Hill County, Texas in the 1840 or 1850's.  William Thompson Elam, who moved to Marion County, Arkansas in 1850.  His wife died a short time after they arrived there, leaving three children.  They were Mary Jane, born April 24, 1845, George Francis, born April 13, 1847, and Julina, or Juliana, but the date of whose birth I do not know.  Cornelia (Royster) Elam died  in the early part of 1850 and William T. Elam married a girl named Sarah Pruitt, later the same year.  The Pruitts lived about two miles south of the Elam home, up Hampton Creek.  William and Sarah Elam reared six children.

The Mormon Church Records have the name Pruitt spelled Prewitt..

In Reply to: Elam/Merriman/Neathery - IL. by Lynda Rangeley  of 1373  

Lynda,
Nancy Elam was the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Elam. Thomas (bl798-dl856) was the son of Alexander Elam and Jane Norment. Elizabeth (l800-l876) was the daughter of Edward Elam and Martha Smith. Alexander was the son of Joel Elam and Phoebe Hill. Nancy was born April15,l822 in NC , married Bryant Merriman on July4, l839 and died May5, l873 in Bond Co. Ill . There were and are many Elams in the Bond and Fayette co. area . The cemetaries are THICK with Elam ancestors. I grew up in Bond co. and my mother's maiden name is Elam. We also are descended from Alexander thru his son Wm.There are Neathery's and Merrimans still around the area also.

Martha "Mattie" THOMPSON died before 1830 in Russell County, Va. She was born Unknown in Ulster, Ireland. --- "Jeffery R. Justice" <jeffkat@quik.com> wrote: 
Hello Cousin Jo Ann, 
Here it is: 
Attention Thompson researchers, 

I've just received yesteday from Pat Hatfield, copies of the Wythe Co. court records from where Richard Thompsons estate case was appealed from Russell Co. to Wythe Co. Superior Court. Some of the document is very difficult to read. But I want to get a copy online as it is a very important piece of evidence in the relationship of the Thompson family. 

So, I may end up having to make a trip to Wythe myself at some point to get a completed transcript. 

What is such a big breakthrough with this document is that not only does it include a second will for Richard Thompson but in the case papers it names his heirs as claimed by his brother John etc. From this we now have a total of nine (9) Thompson siblings. Here is a transcript of the page that names Richard Thompson's siblings: 

The heirs of Richard Thompson D'd - William Thompson his brother, John Thompson his brother, Margaret Thompson his sister who intermarried with Russell Duty - Elizabeth Elam wife of William Elam, Sally Elam wife of John Elam D'd sisters – William Emmett, Lucinda Emmett, children of James Emmet by Rachel Thompson his wife (sister) William Evans [Note: the name William Evans appears to be scratched out] - John, William, Richard, Betsy Ferrel & Sally, Patsy, Ferrell Evans, children of Martha Thompson D'd by two husbands William Ferrel & William Evans D'd (sister), John, Betsy, Richard now D'd, Thompson, Anna married to John Robinson, Rebecca married to William Robinson, Leana - children of Susannah Thompson D'd by William Johnston D'd. Sister. 

To further clear this up, here are the Thompson siblings I now have and who they married: 

1. John Thompson (He had a wife, but I don't have her name yet) 
2. Richard Thompson who had three children by Mildred Short 
3. William Thompson md. Nancy Jackson 
4. Margaret Thompson md. 1) William Roman & 2) Russell Duty 
5. Elizabeth Thompson md. William Elam 
6. Sally Thompson md. John Elam 
7. Rachel Thompson md. James Emmet 
8. Martha Thompson md. 1) William Ferrell & 2) William Evans 
9. Susannah Thompson md. William Johnson 

These families were all present in early Russell Co. John, Richard and William Thompson, William Elam, William Evans (William Ferrell was already deceased, killed by Indians in 1778) and William Johnson all signed the petition to form RCV This document also brings together once and for all another point. It has been long debated whether the John Thomson who died in Halifax Co., NC in 1760 was the father of the three Thompson brothers. I think this information should put this to rest, as the John Thomson of Halifax Co. was NOT the father of the Russell Co. Thompsons. However, now that we have the nine Russell Co. Thompson siblings, maybe finding their real parents may be possible. The Washington, Montgomery or Botetourt Co. records may hold the answer. 

Parents: Gen. William T. THOMPSON and Nancy JACKSON.
She was married to William EVANS on 17 Jan 1783 in Washington County, Virginia.

She was married to William FERRELL after 1764 in Russell County, Va. Children were: Martha FERRELL, Thomas FERRELL, George FERRELL, Elizabeth FERRELL, John FERRELL, William Jr. FERRELL, Richard FERRELL.

I am trying to trace my father’s side of the family. My father is Kenneth Wayne Pyle Sr, my grandfather is Billy Jo Pyle, his sister is Bonnie Pyle, and brother D.C. (maybe darryl Clinton). His father is Clint Pyle (his wife was Carrie Levenia Prestage). I cannot find anything on on Clint Pyle which must be where the Choctaw comes in. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Trying to trace back to trail of tears/Dawes Roll.

Thank you,

Thank you very much. I have spent the day looking up information and found relatives on the Dawes roll (roll numbers MCR4597 and MCR4614. Also, as for my relatives, my grandfather Billy Jo Pyle was born in Muskogee, OK, his father is Joseph Clinton Pyle born 5/5/1875 in Arkansas and died 7/7/1926 in Elmore City, Garvin OK and married Carrie Levinia Prestage (2nd wife) and Ada Byren (1st Wife). His father is Samuel Moten Pyle born 4/2/1847 in Polk County, Missouri, and died 6/2/1942 in Wynnewood, Garvin, OK. He was married to Mary Jane Elam born 4/15/1847 in North Carolina and died 4/11/1920 in Garvin County, OK. Samuel Moten’s Father was Samuel Gove Pyle born 11/28/1821 in Hopkinsville, KY and died in Elmore City, Garvin, OK and married to Catherine Genetta Anglin born 9/21/1825 in Trigg, KY and died 10/26/1899 in Elmore City, Garvin, OK.

I have much more information but I am having trouble intrepreting the information on the Dawes roll. Would you be able to assist me?

i am not sure what you mean by “interpreting the information”. what you look at online are the indexes that have been transcribed. you should get the enrollment application and census card. the testimony may also help you.
as far as i know, there are only a few places where you can get the enrollment documents:
1) tribe. see the genealogy advocate for that. i don’t know if there is any charge for this.
2) footnote.com might have a copy. they have documents for some people but not others. they don’t have MCR4597 or MCR4614 digitized yet. there is a subscription fee for footnote.
3) oklahoma historical society they charge a fee to copy and send records.
4) NARA, http://www.nara.gov fort worth office. they charge a fee to copy and send records.

this might be useful to you.

I seemed to be hitting a roadblock in the tree. In the testimony with the Indian agent all the family members claim Choctaw through their mother, Lucy C.(Thaxton) Degraffenreid(degraffenried, degraffenreid) b: 1800 in Halifax, Va D: Unknown. The testimony claims that she is full blooded Choctaw and was the Head of House taking land under Treaty of 1830 Article 14 but not evidence to support it. Her husband was Vincent Monroe Degraffenreed b: 1763 in Lunenberg, VA and D: 5/13/1834 in Christian, KY. Lucy and Vincent had a daughter, Catherine Genetta Needham Anglin (she married Joseph Anglin or Anglen), who is claimed to be half choctaw. Lucy’s(Thaxton) Degraffenreid’s father was J.W. Thaxton (James William) and unknown mother. I cannot find any information on James William Thaxton’s wife or any descendants of James Wiliam(it’s like the branch just stops). Lucy Degraffenreid and Joseph Anglin (Father maybe be John A. Anglin that married Viletta brown Routh in 12/29/1842)apparently were not listed in cenus record in Missouri or any other state in 1850. The entire family lived in Indian Territory in Missouri and moved to Elmore City, Garvin, Oklahoma in what may appear to be Chickasaw Territory. I am not sure what route to go to investigate the Anglin or Thaxton route.

Again, you have been a wonderful resource and very helpful! I appreciate your assistance and the information you provided me.

as i see it, you are having trouble because there were few native records at that time. choctaw was not a written language until the middle of the 1800’s, so they have no earlier records. the war department was keeping some records, like about rations. trading posts kept some records. this is about what you will find. there might be a mention in local history books about your family.

the people who were rejected might not have known what kind of evidence to submit and may not have had any. they might not have had any witnesses either. this happened in some of the families.

when natives lived on reservations,, they were in the native census and not the federal census. the native censuses were taken at different times but not as often as the federal census. you might try the missouri state archives – they have wonderful records there. some are online, some you have to request a copy.

womens’ records were sparse. often we don’t even have a maiden name. sometimes they are found with inheritance, cemetery records, land records, newspapers.

i am still not clear on your line of descent. you should specific the maiden name and married names clearly, not run them together.
you are trying to communicate too much informationn in a sentence,, and i am not certain nof the object/pronoun of the sentence at times. speculation is fine but the genealogist needs to know what documents you have already and what you are looking for.

then there’s the possible slavery issue. the southeastern tribes believed in slavery and many natives took their masters’ names. some took names of favorite people, places or animals. and sometimes these favorite names were changed as something else became a favorite. the concept of name and identification were rather foreign to the natives. they only cared that their tribe knew who they were.

i don’t know who you were looking for in the 1850 census.

my advice is to take one generation and collect documents and then you can look at the parents of that person. childrens’ documents point to the parents and fix the family to a location and date.

no dates, no location in this post.

this is a common surname. i didn’t find any of these people in the census records. i would have to try to look at particular dates and locations in order to try to find your family..

genealogists use names, dates, locations, children and spouses to match records. if you have a common surname, you need to give more information rather than less. if you post about women, it is helpful to include the maiden name and the married name and designate which one is the maiden name.

first of all, heritage and tribal enrollment are two different things. many times natives didn’t apply for enrollment because 1) they didn’t qualify, 2) they were philosophically opposed to enrollment, 3) they didn’t have documentation, or 4) they were mississippi choctaw and their ancestor had accepted land or benefits in lieu of tribal enrollment.

the dawes roll was taken 1896-1906, so you should trace your ancestors down to that time period. mostly, they had to be living in oklahoma by that time and agree to live there permanently.

2 ways to search:
http://www.okhistory.org/research/dawes/index.php
this will give you card# (family group) and enrollment #. they have some native marriage records too. other oklahoma records listed at left.

http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/finalroll.php
this will let you enter partial names to get card#. click on the card# in the card column and you can see other names in that family.
other resources on the left and at the bottom of this webpage. native census records and databases are especially useful.

if the name is common, you may find too many possible records.

the tribe has an excellent information to help you. it is found under genealogy advocacy.

Tracing ancestors among the Five Civilized Tribes: Southeastern Indians …
By Rachal Mills Lennon
this book could be accessed through the interlibary loan program also.

always find the state archives. some records are online, some records are not. but many times you can find a record not found in other places. you want to see also about newspaper mentions for obituaries, births, marriages in particular.

check courts for probate, civil and criminal cases, marriage records.

this book is a good read about the dawes roll and how they implemented it.

if your relatives came from a different geographic location or belonged to a different tribe, try searching google for the state and tribes. you might find a contact for a state-recognized tribe or a federal recognized tribe.

i have collected many resources over the years. if you want to write to me, shamlet76@gmail.com and request the choctaw resource list, i will be glad to send it to you.

i am just a volunteer that wants to empower people to learn how to do genealogy.

Pyle/Anglin/DeGraffenried lines
Posted by: Patricia Stone (ID *****1675) 	Date: December 27, 2006 at 03:10:59
  	of 1481

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me with the Pyle/Anglin/DeGraffenried line of my family. I'm not sure of my information.
My paternal grandmother was Emma Iola Pyle, the daughter of
William Thomas Pyle b. 6-7-1867 Marion Co. Ala., son of
Samuel Moter Pyle b 2-1847 Polk Co.,MO. who was married to Mary Jane Elam b.4-24-1845 Rutherford Co.,MO., he was the son of Samuel Gove Pyle 11-28-1821 Hopkinville, KY. who I think was married to Catherine G.N. Anglin or maybe Jenneta Needham??b. 921-1825 Dyer or Trigg Co. KY. Her parents were
Joseph Anglin and Lucy DeGraffenfied who were married in VA. I think. Lucy's parents were Charles(or maybe the first DeGraffenried born in America, Tscharner, and Lucy Thaxton Pontotach Co., Miss.. Lucy Thaxton's father was J. W. Thaxton N.C. The relative who got me this far along had not done much research on these lines so we're unsure about it. I'm very interested and would greatly appreciate any information you can give me.

Samuel Gove Pyle married to Catharine ANGLIN is also my line.

QUESTION:
Apparently you and others have been working on the DeGrafenreid side.
This is what I have---

Samuel Gove Pyle M Catharine ANGLIN
(Catherine's parents are Joseph ANGLIN + Lucy DeGRAFFENREID)
(Lucy's parents are Charles DeGRAFFENREID + Lucy THAYTON

Do you have contacts for PYLE-ADAMS-ANGLIN-DeGRAFFENREID-THAYTON-METHVIN-ANDERSON-NOWLIN-DICKSON-SMITH? I don't have much info on the other surnames.

I have the PYLE(S)backwards to Dr. Pyle from Holland and forwards to current OK Pyle(s).

I have the SMITH(s) line which includes KEELING, BURNS, MOODY, WOMACK, GOAD

Will trade info.

Notes for ELMER ROZELL:
Almer,

This is Mary  again asking about genealogy. Your husband's name was Walter J. Willmon. Could you tell me how he was related to Lillian Ethyl Willmon (1908)  who married Grant S Pyle (1900-1990). I hope I have the right name here.

Thanks, 
Mary and Bob Wallace

Mary, I can't tell you right now.  Walter's son, Bill, who lives in Caifornia may be able to answer that.  I met Grant one time at the Willmon
Family Reunion in Glen Rose, but my memory fails me as to the connection.  I did, at one time, have Grant's email address.  It probably is
'gone-by-the-board" by now.  I will forward your email to Bill and see what I can find out.

Hope you folks are staying well.  I had cataract surgery in my right eye yesterday so am recuperating from that today.  No big deal -- just a little blind in that eye.  However, I am able to read about as well as I did before surgery.  One reason for not being ble to see as I should is that these glasses do not fit that eye.  That will be the next thing -- new specs.

I spent the day yesterday after surgery, and last night, with Joe Don and Loretta.  Joe brought me home this morning, but I am not permitted to drive so I am "stuck" here in the house.  Other than that, things are about as usual.

I had a telephone call from Milded Fuller, who lives in New Mexico, a few weeks ago.  She is the daughter of Elmer and Emma Rozell.  I haven't seen her in well over 20 years, I suppose.  Also, have been in contact with Ruby Mauldin in Pauls Valley, who is the daughter of Bill and Annie Brooks.  Her sister, Dixie is still living there in Pauls Valley and was 92 years of age yesterday, I believe.  Also, Portia, Aunt Estelle and Uncle Tommie's daughter called and visited after Christmas.  Milded's brother Mavin had called right after Christmas and a Christmas card was received from Beulah Marie, his sister.  I almost feel as though I had attended a family reunion. Just wish there was some way wecould all get together next summer for a real reunion.

Will see what I can find out about Grant's wife.

Love to all
Almer

How to Trace Indian Ancestry 
The question of ancestry is at the center of the controversy surrounding University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill. He claims membership in the Oklahoma-based United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. The tribe says he has only an honorary or associate membership and no Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB). The CDIB is a "seal of approval" from the US government that certifies someone has a minimum specified degree of Indian blood; this allows membership into a federally-recognized tribe.

http://www.native-languages.org/genealogy.htm
4) Your grandparent was part Indian but not a tribal member, or there is a family tradition that you have Indian blood, or you are working on your family's genealogy and have just discovered a Native American ancestor you want to know more about. 

some other people have the misguided idea that if their great-grandmother was a Blackfoot Indian this will somehow entitle them to money, scholarships, citizenship, or special rights. If this is your hope, you might as well give up on it right now and go buy a lottery ticket. Very few American Indian tribes have any money at all--in fact, most reservations have standards of living similar to third-world countries--and none of them will give you any money even if you could prove great-grandma Rose belonged to their tribe. 

I would not recommend seeking any special assistance from the government unless you live on a reservation and/or are at least 1/4 Indian with the records to prove it.

Clark name meaning
English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clerc denoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c ‘priest’, reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latin clericus, from Greek klerikos, a derivative of kleros ‘inheritance’, ‘legacy’, with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy) ‘whose inheritance was the Lord’. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy in minor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus the surname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtually only members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so that the term clerk came to denote any literate man.

During the month of December, 1942, President: J H Kindelberger, Field Service Manager: Frank H Lyons, Field Service School Director: Roudolph W. Stolzs [?].

He trained as a top turret gunner in a B-25 bomber.  On the day before his group was to ship out, his pilot was taking the plane through some unauthorized manoeuvers (banking steeply and allowing the plane to slide sideways).  On one such slip air managed to get under the right nosewheel door, ripping it off and throwing it into the starboard propeller.  The prop threw the door back at the cockpit, shattering the plexiglas.  He happened to be watching the prop when this happened.  The glass flew into his eyes blinding him.  Eventually the doctors were able to salvage the sight in his right eye, stabilizing it at about 20-80.  They were not able to do anything about his left eye, as it was damaged beyond any hope of repair.  He was discharged on 40% disability and spent the rest of his life without the use of his left eye.

He worked various jobs early in his marriage to Emily Jane Clark including a farmhand in Caldwell, KS and moved his family to Cedarvale, KS and finally to Parsons, KS.  There he secured employment with the Kansas Ordinace Plant.  With the end of the Korean War, the plant closed, and he moved to Topeka, KS to take what would be his last job, Housekeeping and Maintenance with the Veterans Administration Hospital in Topeka, KS.  His family stayed in Parsons until the summer of 1964 when his son, Bob, graduated from high school (Labette County Community High School in Altamont, KS).

About a year after his family followed him to Topeka, he developed an ulcer and retired on disability from the VA.  Shortly afterward he moved to California, leaving his family in Topeka.  About 1975 or 75 he moved back to Topeka (actually Tecumseh, KS just outside Topeka) although he did not move back in with the family.  Both children were married by this time with families of their own, and his divorce from Emily Jane had been final for some years.  Although they stayed friends for the rest of their lives, and she moved in with him in order to care for him, they never remarried. ( by Son, Bob Wallace)

The B-25 originated in a 1937 Army request for a twin-engine attack bomber that could out-perform existing single-engine types. Several companies submitted proposals; North American's NA-40 featured a crew of five, and narrow fuselage (made possible by unusual tandem seating of the pilot & co-pilot), shoulder-mounted wings, two Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engines, and provision for up to seven .30 caliber machine guns. (which grew to fourteen .50 calibers during the development of the B-25). The NA-40 didn't fly as fast as desired, so more powerful, 1600 hp Wright Cyclone R-2600 engines were installed in the next prototype, resulting in a top speed of 287 MPH. This prototype, the NA-40B crashed in April, 1939, and the Army selected the Douglas A-20 for the original attack bomber contract.

Nestled among the rolling hills in the heart of Oklahoma, Chandler was founded after the 1891 Land Rush.  When almost one million acres of land, formerly owned by the Sac and Fox, Iowa, Pottawatomie and Shawnee Indian tribes, was opened for homesteading on September 22, 1891, hundreds of settlers lined the borders of what was then called County A.  At a signal given by the military, the pioneers rushed to stake their claims.  
The town site of Chandler was surveyed by the government and set aside for public use just six days after opening of the county, on September 28, 1891.  Comprising an area of about one square mile, the up and coming town was named in honor of George Chandler, the First Assistant Secretary of the Interior under President Harrison.

In October, 1891 the first county officials were appointed by the governor.  In its first general election held on November 8, 1892, the county received an official name – Lincoln, and elected its own county officers.  Soon a two-story framed courthouse was built on the town square.  The small settlement quickly grew with several businesses developing along the main street area including hotels, several saloons, stores and other establishments. 

From its beginning until the mid-1920’s, the production of cotton and related activities were the most important sources of income for the citizens of Chandler. Beginning at the age six, children learned to pick cotton. Many continued this throughout their lives. Full attendance at school for older children could not be expected before mid-November, after the entire cotton crop was harvested.  

A cottonseed oil factory was located at the end of Allison Avenue and 15th street where oil was made from the cottonseeds not used for planting the next year’s crop. The cotton oil mill sounded a loud whistle twice a day; at the change of the work shifts. The sharp whistle could be heard throughout the town, at exactly 12 noon and 12 midnight. For many it was their only clock.

On March 30, 1897, young Chandler would suffer a devastating blow when a tornado completely wiped out the business area and many of the new homes constructed near it.   Within a just a few minutes every building that lay within a four-block-wide area was leveled. Fourteen people were killed and scores of others injured.

Chandler’s other major source of income was the growing cattle industry which soon prompted the development of railroads. The Oklahoma City - Sapulpa branch of the Frisco was the first railroad constructed across Lincoln County. These one hundred and three miles of railroad was completed in December, 1898. Other railroads built across parts of the county during the years 1902, 1903 and 1904 were the Santa Fe, Rock Island, Missouri-Kansas-Texas and Fort Smith-Western.

Bill Tilghman, one of the pioneers making the land rush in 1891 and former marshal of Dodge City, was elected sheriff of Lincoln County in 1900.  He would later serve as United States Marshal and became known as "Two-Gun Bill." Tilghman was largely responsible for wiping out organized crime in Oklahoma and hunting down Bill Doolin and his gang.

In the early 20’s, less cotton was being grown in Lincoln County and the "cotton picking" families were forced to temporarily relocate to earn a living.  But, at about the same time oil was discovered in the area and the population of Chandler and Lincoln County began to grow.  Oil derricks and producing wells quickly began to dot the land of Lincoln County, providing a further boost to Chandler’s growth.

 
Though the area was quickly advancing into the twentieth century, it was seemingly not quite finished with its Old West heritage, as evidenced by the shooting of Chandler’s former Sheriff, Bill Tilghman.  Though retired, Tilghman had been persuaded by the citizens of Cromwell, Oklahoma, an Oil Boomtown, to become their city marshal.  On November 1, 1924 Tilghman was eating in a restaurant when a shot was fired outside by a drunken probation officer, by the name of Wiley Lynn.  At the sound of the shot, Tilghman immediately left the restaurant and began to lead Lynn toward the jail.  Lynn, who had clashed with Tilghman on other occasions, pulled out a small automatic pistol and shot Tilghman, who died 15 minutes later.  Tilghman is buried at the Oak Park Cemetery just west of Chandler.

When the Mother Road came through Chandler in 1926 it brought a significant amount of commercial business as travelers crossed the state and the country. When the turnpikes began to be built, Chandler like many Route 66 cities suffered another blow.  However, agriculture and livestock have continued to keep this small community of almost 3,000 alive today.

As you pass through Chandler, be sure to check out the many murals on the town’s buildings, the Lincoln Motel, which has been in continuous operation since 1939, and the lovingly restored Phillips 66 Station at 7th and Manvel on Route 66.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

I know very little of our ancestors on either side. My grandfather, Henry Thompson, came from Virginia in the early days of the 19th century and settled in the part of Lauren’s district now known as Young’s Township section, on the Enoree River, He married the daughter of Jonathan Wallace. The Wallace name was common in that section a hundred years ago. Henry Thompson was a slave-holder in those days. A number of slaves were sold at the sale after his death. I recall being at the sale (1859) Then 15 years old. By the first marriage there were seven sons, Mike, Franklin, Gabriel, Jessie, Ellis, Wallace, and Oliver and two daughters, Evaline, and Millie. By the second marriage, one son Waddy and one daughter, Jane. Mike went to Washington, DC, Frank to Mississippi, Jesse to Tennessee, Gabriel to Texas, Oliver to California, Evaline Fowler moved to Texas, Waddy was killed in battle (1862) Three daughters of Millie Owings, Mrs Orlando Ropp, Laura Thomason, and Emma Franks are living at Gray Court, Laurens County in prosperous condition. Children of Wallace Thompson are living in this and adjacent counties, in prosperous circumstances.

The oldest, Mike Thompson, a lawyer of some distinction, and spoken of as the Chesterfield of the Washington bar, practiced in Washington. DC for a number of years. He went to Washington in the early forties. I remember correspondence between him and our father.His only child, Percy Wallace Thompson, is now a retired captain of the Revenue Cutter Dexter an arm of the Navy, now living in Piedmont, California.

The Wallace race, the Young’s Store neighborhood are of the Jonathan Wallace branch, who lived there. Gen. Dan Wallace lived in the Durbin Creek section, three miles west of the Young’s store. W.H. Wallace, son of Dan Wallace, Brigadier General in the Confederate Army and presiding officer of the famous Wallace House, of 1876 was born on Durbin Creek where the original Wallace burying ground is on lands now owned by the children of the late J.S. Drummond, and deeded to the grandfather Thos. M. Young by Dan Wallace, about 1840. The grandfather of the writer, Henry Thompson and grandmother, Mary Wallace Thompson, sister of Dan Wallace buried there.

My mother died in November 23, 1883; My father, 1893. At the close of eighty years, infancy and childhood, and the long drawn-out years intervening, are like a dream, and one shrinks at the effort to tell of it. It is true that it is an experience that is common to the aged, to recall the things of the long ago, and for the recent things we must battle with a treacherous memory, but when we begin to write about those old things they flare up in a fragmentary way and before we can pen them, they flit away to the dens and caves.

Notes for MARY ADELAIDE CLARK:
Addie was born in to a farm family.  She went to school at Klondike and McCarty, on September 16, 1927 she married Ray Ward at Sulphur, Oklahoma.  She and the family moved to Pauls Valley about 1938, and later to West Texas.  They moved back to the old Sparkman Place, north of Maysville and continued to live north of Maysville most of their life until Ray retired, when they moved near their daughter, Irente.  Ray preceded Addie in death in 1989.  Addie was a great helpmate.  She would go to the fields with Ray, usually working side by side and many times even cooking hot meals for the family under a shade tree.  She was a good cook, and as Ray would say, she could cook gravy 16 different ways, and always had room for 1 more at the table.  She loved to garden and knew a great many of the old traditional ways to garden.  Addie left a great treasure in her quilting skills, as displayed here today.  Addie never gave up her love of fishing, she could and would fish anywhere, and just about any time.  Many valuable life's lessons were taught to her children and grandchildren, at the kitchen table,  out in the fields of crops, or on the bank of a pond or lake.  Addie and Ray lived a very simple life, but a very full  and loving life.  She will certainly will be missed by her family and friends.  She was affiliated with the Baptist Church.

Survivors:  Her daughter, Irene Bruner and her husband Joe, of Maysville, Oklahoma. 1 son, Thomas Ward and his wife Freda of Canadian, Oklahoma, 6 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchilddren, 3 SISTERS :  Lavada Mead of Parsons, Kansas,  Cora Buckner of Denison, Texas, and Freddie Stogner also of Denison, Texas,  1 BROTHER Sherman Clark of Elmore City, Oklahoma.   She is also survived by other relatives and many many friends made throughout the years.  Addie is preceded in death by her parents, 1 daughter and 2 great grandchildren, a brother Albert and sisters, Lula Mae, Jane and Pauline.

Funeral Services held Monday afternoon at 2:00pm, October 7, 1996, at the First Baptist Church of Maysville, with Rev.

"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the colose of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow,
My life's been full, I sawored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now tih undue grief.
Life up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now.  He se me free.

Minnie Pyle Celebrates Ninety Fifth Birthday
  
                 (Newspaper article - The Eagle Press, Fritch, TX)
''Minnie Alice Buchanan Pyle was born on October 21, 1899 in Gainesville, TX and will celebrate her ninety-fifth birthday this week.  Her daughter, Almer Willmon of Fritch, explained that when Minnie was two months old, her mother died so she and her brother, Willie, lived with theri grandmother for seveeral years in Marlow, OK.  During that time their father was killed while trying to prevent a shootout between two men.Later, Minnie and Willie lived with relatives for a time in Apache, OK where they were closely associated with the Indians in that area.     Almer said, 'In fact, Mother and one of the little Indian girls were very good friends.   She was perhaps twelve or thirteen years of age and one of the Indians wanted her for his squaw.'     In the following years, the two children lived with their aunt and uncle near Elmore City, OK.  It was while living there that she med and married John M. (Moat) Pyle on October 24, 1915.  Her brother died in April 1920 while serving in the Navy.  Moat and Minnie reared four children: John W. (Willie) of Midwest City, OK;  Almer Baker Willmon of Fritch; George Thomas who was dilled in the Battle of the Bulge in April 1945; and Norene Warren who passed away October 6, 1988.    Minnie has six grandchildren, 13 great-granchildren, and 11 great-great-grandchildren.  Although Minnie has lived in Fritch for the past twenty-nine years, she and Moat have also lived in Dumas, Borger, and Stinnetyt.  Moat and Minnie celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary before moat's death on April 29, s987.  Confined to a wheelchair, Minnie is no longer able to get out and around and now lives with her daughter.    She is a beautiful lady who deserves a lot of attention, especially obn her ninety-fifth birthday.  Happy birthday, Minnie!"

He was married to Mary Jane Elam on 8-23-1866, and  they continue to reside there until 1881 when they moved to Grayson County, TX.  He died near Wynnewood, OK, I want to say in 1942.  I think I have the exact date somewhere.

 This information was given to me by my Grandfather, William Thomas.  If you would like I can copy this information and send it to you by "snail mail" unless I can get my son to teach me to send attachments with  email.

I also met a fellow last July when we attended the Willmon Reunion from
 California, who had married into the Willmon Family.  His name is Grant Pyle and said his mother told him they were related to Ernie Pyle, the news corespondent.

Bob, I cut this obit frm the Amarillo paper quite a few years back, and as usual, no date.  This was before writers began inserting the year
into the obit.  Daddy had some relatives in Lockney, but I have forgotten who else was there.  Esker's wife Rosie was in a nursing home
there, and died later, if I remember correctly and I may hve something on that somewhere.  You'd e surprised what I come up with sometime.

    Lockney, TX - ESKER MOTEN PYLE 93 died Wednesday.     Services will be at 3:00 p.m. Friday in West College and third
Street Church of Christ with Boyce Mosley, elder, and Lynn Ray Smith, deacon, officiating. Burial will be in Lockney Cemetery by Moore-Rose Funeral home.
    Mr. Pyle, was born in Bruno, Ark. (This is where daddy John Moaten (Moat) was born.)  He married Rosie Bell Osteen in 1914 at Elmore City, Okla.  They moved to Floyd County in 1938 from Elmore City.  He was a farmer and Church of Christ member.
    Survivors include his wife, three daughters, Eunice Lynn and Bernice Mathis, both of Plainview and Claudia Belt of Lockney; a son, E.M. Pyle, Jr. of Lockney, six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and five great-great granchildren.

I don't know whether this will really be of benefit to you, but wanted to get it to you anyhow.

Bob, I have nothing concerning Ernie.  I do have the name of Grant Pyle,, whom I met at the Willmon reunion last July who said he is related to Ernie.  You might try this email address - GS3Speeds@AOL.com.  I am not sure whether it is GS3 or G53Speeds, I would be more inclined toward the G53Speeds.  You might try it.  His telephone number is 916-726-8696.  Perhaps he could fill you in on
some info.
I'm going to send an email right now and see what happens.  Will let you know if it goes through and I get a response.  I wish you could see this card.  But I have not learned to send attachments.

 Earnest Taylor Pyle, b. Aug 3, 1900, Dana, Vermillion, Indiana

 Earnest married Geraldine Siebolds (from Hastings, Minnesota, d. Nov, 1945 of influenza)
 Geraldine's sister (Mary Siebold) was married to George Bales.  George had a son (Jack Bales) from a previous marriage.  Ernie considered him his favorite nephew (perhaps his only one).

 Clarence was married to someone whom Ernie called "Aunt Axie."  They had 1 mule and 12 acres of ground and were extremely poor.  When Ernie went to visit them, he always felt awful that anyone, especially in his family,

 Now, just how Ernie could be a cousin of mine, I can't figure because we can find no line from here to our line.  Perhaps Quince (Ernie's uncle) had offspring, or maybe his grandfather, Samuel had brother(s) that we don'tknow about.

 That's about all we know from our research.  If you can add anything, we
 would love to hear it.

 Thanks...

ODESSA Almer Pearl Baker Willmon, 89, of Odessa, passed away Monday, Feb 22, 2010, at Medical Center Hospital. She was born to John Moat Pyle and Minnie Alice Buchanan on May 24, 1920, in Wynnewood, Okla. She married John Haskel (Bud) Baker on her 21st birthday, May 24, 1941. They spent most of their married life in the Panhandle of Texas: Borger and Fritch. They had one son, Joe Don, whom they cherished and followed all his accomplishments. They enjoyed the birth of two grandsons before her beloved Bud preceded her in death in 1985.

Almer was the secretary to the superintendent of Sanford Fritch ISD for 22 years and an active member of Fritch Church of Christ where she taught Sunday School.

Almer married Walter J. Willmon on Nov. 26, 1988, and her family grew as she welcomed into her family his children and loved them as their own … and they adopted and loved her. She and Walter moved to Odessa, Texas, in 1998 where they made new friends and a new church home at Tanglewood Church of Christ.

Almer has joined in heaven both her parents, Moat and Minnie; sister, Norene; both brothers, John (Willie) and George Thomas (GT); stepson-in-law, Fred Brownlee; and many other cherished family members and friends.

Amongst those remaining to celebrate her life include her son, Joe Don and wife, Loretta, and two grandsons, Spc. Steven Keith Baker and John Edward Baker and wife, Amanda, and three great-grandchildren; nephews, Roy Warren, Bill Warren and wife Tae, and Johnny Pyle and wife, Kay, and many great-nieces and nephews; also three stepsons, Frank Willmon and wife, Linda, Fred Willmon and wife, Sarah, and Bill Willmon and wife, Mary; and stepdaughter, Lola Brownlee; and nine step-grandchildren and spouses and many great-grandchildren and loving friends.

The family wishes to thank: Buena Vida nurses and all care providers for all the love and compassion given Mrs. Willmon during her stay; and Julie Armentrout, who also attended to her many needs for the last few weeks of her life; and Medical Center Hospital Eighth-floor staff who made her last few hours comfortable.

The family invites you to join them at a visitation time at Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home in Odessa from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25.

Funeral services will be Friday morning at 10 a.m. at Tanglewood Church of Christ in Odessa, officiated by Richard Cravy and Don Belk. Graveside services will be Saturday morning at 11 at Westlawn Cemetery in Borger, Texas, with Richard Kasko of Fritch Church of Christ officiating.

Mary, how are you folks doing?  Long time no hear from you.        
 
First, let me give you some sad news.  I lost my husband the night of the 12  of this month.  Well, that is not right.  I thought he was just sleeping late and decided 8:30 was late enough so went in to wake him.  Mary, I don't know how long he had been dead, but he was cold as ice.  The medical examiner listed the time of death  as 9:20 the morning of the 12th.  So, now I am alone again.  But, I am so thankful I am here in Odessa where my son lives.  He was such a power of strength through all of it.

Good to hear from you.  Walter J. Willmon, d.o.b. 1-23-1910 - Born in Dickens Co., TX.   First wife, Alice died 11-1984; Joe's daddy died 5-3-1984.  We would have been maried 43 years on May 24 (which is my birthdate.)  Walter has 4 children living, (1 son three years deceased) 14 grandchildren, 12 great- and 2 great-.greats.  All four children were here with a good number of grandchildren and the two great-greats.  We had a houseful for dinner on Sunday when the ladies from the church brought dinner.
 
We had a memorial service here at the Tanglewood Chuch of Christ on Sunday afternoon and then he was carried Monday to Afton (about 40 miles east of Lubbock) for graveside services at 11:00 a.m,  That is appoximately 200 miles from here.  So, you can see it was a busy weekend.  As Joe Don said yestrday, it's really hard to accept the fact that he is gone.  But, with the help of a loving God and many friends and family, I'll get through it.  And 2 dogs and 2 cats.  They do take up quite a bit of time.  Speaking of which I had best wake the dogs and let them outside.  They have been inside dogs all their lives.  Bitsy will be 12 next month snd Precious will be 11.  The cats are three years old, I believe.  Can't keep up with the years anymore. Bitsy began having seizures last September.  They are not too often, for which I am thankful.  But very sad to watch.

From: Mary Lentz <mary_melody@yahoo.com>
Thanks, Mary.  I've been looking for Thompsons for a long time and was thrilled to hear from John after running across his online site.  Ken (my husband) and I have been to the Thompson Cemetery at Egypt Mills, just north of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where John Washington Thompson and Mary Jeffers are buried.  Several of my grandparents are buried there along with other Thompsons.  James S. Thompson and Frances Johnstone Strong (oldest son of John Washington Thompson and my line) are buried beside John Washington and Mary Jeffers Thompson.  Also,  Augustus W. Thompson and his wife Cynthia Ann Williams are close by.  Augustus W. and Cynthia Ann's daughter, Mary Elizabeth Thompson and her husband John A. Ramsey are also buried there.
 
My line is this:
1. John Washinginton Thompson b. 1752 and Mary Jeffers b. 1758
2. James S. Thompson b. 1776 and Frances Johnstone Strong b. 1793
3. Augustus W. Thompson b. 1822 and Cynthia Ann Williams b. 1828
4. Mary Elizabeth Thompson b. 1849 and John Andrew Ramsey b. 1843 (I have a portrait of him)
5. Vern Cosbon Ramsey b. 1885 and Minnie Rosena Selma Geiser b. 1892 (
   note:  about 2 years ago I found out that Minnie Rosena Selma was her baptism name.  Her birth certificate reads Augusta Mina Magdalena Geiser. (what a name - German Swiss)
6. Helen Erma Ramsey b. 1916 and Kenneth Wayne Riley b. 1913 d. 1975 
7. and me, Mary Jeanne Riley b. 1949 and Kenneth Wayne Lentz b. 1952
 
I am in contact with some other cousins who descend from my same line.  They descend from Vern Cosbon Ramsey's brother, John Oliver "Ollie" Ramsey and his son, Clyde John Ramsey.  Their names are Jimmy and Charles Ramsey.  One lives in Cape Girardeau, Mo and the other in Jackson, Mo.  They are also researching Thompsons.  They might be interested in joining the group, too; however, most of the information they have on Thompsons they have received from Ken and I.  
 
Thanks, again for the welcome.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you.
 
note to the other cousins, also:  I will eventually get back to all of you, but I'm absorbing gedcoms right now.  Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude but I'm in genealogy heaven.

From: Mary Lentz <mary_melody@yahoo.com> 

 My name is Mary Jeanne Riley Lentz, husband Kenneth W. Lentz, and I just joined the group recently, also.  I am related through the Nero Morgan Thompson line.  The Thompsons were located around Southeast Missouri, primarily Cape Girardeau County, but Nero Morgan had moved to the East Prairie area in Missouri (close to New Madrid).  At about the time of the New Madrid earthquake, Nero Morgan and his family relocated to Howard County and many of our cousins group descended from there.  I sent my genealogy report to the cousins group; however, I'm not sure you are researching this Thompson line so I will send it only if you want it.  I am researching other lines, also: Riley, McKenzie, Spradling, Elam, Adams, Lowe, Grigg, Stockton, McFarland, Hagood, Walker, Mayfield, Etcheson, Merriman, Ramsey/Ramsay, Wright,  Haden/Hadon, Miller, Thompson, Williams, Strong, Jeffers, Barnes, Foster, Geiser, Tunze, and Schorman.
 
My husband, Ken, also works on his genealogy line.  He researches Lentz, Russell, Toler, Gaskill, Jackson, Ward, McGill, Sullivan, Andrews, Davis, Epperson, Haines, Hartline, and many others.  
 
The first 14 names (Riley through Merriman) are on my Dad's side and ended up in the Illinois area - primarily in Bond and Fayette Counties and surrounding area.  I, also, have a Wright family that I'm researching on Dad's side.  The remainder of the names (Ramsey through Schorman) are on my Mother's side and were primarily around the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area.  Nero Morgan Thompson was one who left the area and ended up in Howard County, Missouri.  He was actually a brother of my ggggrandfather James W.Thompson.  Their father was Captain John Washington Thompson. He was Captain in the Missouri Militia during the War of 1812.
 
Again, welcome, and I wish you luck in your genealogy search.  This group has really helped me to fill in some blanks.  If we have any matching names, I would be glad to send you a genealogy report on any of my information.
