I finally found information on Pearl and her obit mentions Mae PHIPPS. I don't think they had any children but there is an infant at Bedias Baptist born/died in 1942. | WILLIAMS, Oleta Pearl (I18039)

I find no marriage or death record for Jane/Virginia. | CARTER, Jane P (I21319)
|
| 4060 |
I find no more records that I can positively associate with our Bessie. She married three times and had only one child that I can source. I find no other records on James, Richard, George or Clyde and only assume that Richard died before the 1910 census eas enumerated because she says she was widowed. | COON, Bessie L (I14616)

I find no other census records for this family. | ADKINS, Solomon (I3554)

I find only one marriage for a John Whistler Skippon, 1839, Downham District, Norfolk County, to Harriett Gribs. (Maybe a second wife?) | SKIPPON (I23253)

I first found these records at USGenWeb, now I use the same index at Family Search. | Source (S1253)

I found a birth certificate for her but there is no name on it, just her parents and birth date. | DAUGHERTY, Ina Grace (I17778)
|
| 4067 |
I found a Calvin T Pierce in Chickasaw and Clay counties, Mississippi, in 1870 and 1880 but the father is not there. There are four children with the mother named Martha. I'm fairly certain that Joseph Whitman Pierce of Estelline is Calvin's brother, C T signed Joseph's death certificate. Joseph's certificate gives his father's name as Brit??? Pierce, born NC. I cannot read the mothers name - Sev or Sen something. Calvin in Mississippi has a newphew named Virgil Britton Pierce. | PEARCE, Calvin Thomas (I10286)
|
| 4068 |
I found a marriage in Missouri to her. | FRAZIER, Sarah D (I17298)

I found a marriage record in Nac for Amanda Mills to H Marsill Horney, 28 Aug 1891, but no more records for Marsill and Amanda (nor Mashall or Marcel). Ira/Arrie's death certificate lists his name as Morris.
In 1900, Mandy and Dixie Mills are living with Anna and James Pierce, her sister. There is also a John Mills who may be John Hiram, Alvy's son. According to the 1900 census, she was married 8 years (1892), then in 1930, she was widowed.
I found a marriage record in Nac for Amanda Mills to R C Clifton, 5 Aug 1903, but I find no other entries for R C and Amanda.
There is a Mandy Honey (age 60) on the 1910 Census in Laneville with a 17 year old daughter named Dixie Honey.
In 1920, Mandy Mills is living with Arrie and JG Clifton and their two children, listed as mother-in-law. Dixie isn't with them. In 1930, Arie and Jack Clifton are still in Nac with six children.
The obit has her listed incorrectly as Ira's mom. I found no Ira Mills with Amanda as his mother so I am assuming this is my Ira and his sister OR this is Arrie "Ira" Clifton.
If Mandy is buried at Crim's Chapel, it is either an unmarked grave or she has a different last name. Her county death record is under Amanda Mills and reported by Ruben Armstrong, Ira's son-in-law, my grandpa. Our Mandy was living with Ira on 11 Apr 1930 for the census. Her death certificate was signed by IRA Mills of Henderson and lists her parents as J M Mills and Martha Aldridge and says she was divorced.
Did she marry a Mills? There is a Mills family in Panola county at the same time and using the same given names but not connected [yet] to our guys.
Taking all these bits and pieces, I believe our Mandy married Marsill/Morris Horney/Harney/Haney/Honey/Honea in 1891 and probably divorced [or separated from] him around 1900. She has at least one daughter, Ira/Arrie, possibly two - Dixie. Arrie married the Clifton. My dad told me we are related to some Cliftons through his mom and this could be that link. Are Arrie and Dixie the same person? If they aren't, where was Arrie for the 1900 Census? | MILLS, Amanda (I670)
|
| 4070 |
I found a photo that says "My dearest father, Joseph Richardson." I have no proof that this James C is the father of our Joseph.
There is a death record for a Joseph M Richardson who died 5 Aug 1875 in Mobile and buried in Magnolia Cemetery. | RICHARDSON, Joseph M (I7596)
|
| 4071 |
I found a US Army Camp Reed mentioned in a letter but I'm not sure of its exact location nor of the cemetery. It seems that the camp was usually called Jackson and the camp was moved to LaGrange in March of 1863. Supposedly the graves were moved to Corinth National in 1869.
The VA has a listed burial for George W Toply but there is no cemetery listed, just TOPLY, GEORGE W PVT BURIED AT: SECTION D SITE 1229. I guess there is no way to find out if this is our George. There is also a George A Topliff at Leavenworth but there are no dates and he was in the 18th Inf. | TOPLIFF, George W (I11360)
|
| 4072 |
I found an entry at FindaGrave linking her to William Lindsey Crews (1867-1914) but I believe she was actually married to William Isham Crews (1883-1971). | HARLAN, Nancy Elizabeth (I21444)
|
| 4073 |
I found four sources for Ambrose's wife's name. Margaret, Annie, Mary and Elizabeth. Calvin's marriage record says Margaret and death certificate says Elizabeth. Frank's death certificate gives Fannie Lyons. | LYONS, Margaret (I14962)

| 4074 |
I found no documentation for his death. | WYATT, William Henry (I7705)
|
| 4075 |
I found no records for Alfred after his 1930 appearance with his sister in Wisconsin. It's possible that he is the "Brother" J A Mye at Holy Cross Cemetery. | MYE, Alfred J (I18887)

I found no stone for him at Spring Hill nor any of his family. | LEE, Robert Edward (I10088)

I found nothing on their children after the 1910 census. Were they adopted? There are three birth records, I didn't find one for Florence. | MCGHEE, Anna M (I23579)

I found nothing that gives her surname. One researcher says Brice, one says Jones. | BRICE, Mary (I22000)

I found one transcribed record for a marriage for John Jones and Nancy Watkins in Morgan County, Georgia, 14 May 1812. | WALKER, Nancy (I5613)
|
| 4082 |
I found records in South Dakota and Oklahoma for a Nelson W at the right age with wives named Mary and Nettie. Nettie ended up in Arkansas in 1940 but is buried in Grant County, Oklahoma, with Nelson. I'm not positive that is our Nelson. | MCGHEE, Nelson W (I11358)

I found them on the 1940 census and their death records then they disappeared. Possibly cremated? | LEGG, Ethel Cordia (I19043)

I found two marriages in Kosciusko County for a Nancy Hale, one was too old and the other was too young. | HALE, Nancy (I23806)

I got her name from the letter George wrote to Irene. He called her Mrs Louise Krause but I believe he meant Miss, she was only 20 when they married. | KRAUSE, Emily Louise (I10433)

I had several telephone interviews with Ima from 2000-2002. We discussed her family and Wiley's family. She had an incredible memory and she had "notes" about things she was afraid she would forget. I don't know what happened to her notes and I wish I had recorded our conversations. She is my grandmother. | Source (S513)

I have a lot of doubts about this line even though three Sparks married Boatwrights.

MARY SPARKS M. SPARKS 1231
"A great many years ago, two great-grandchildren of Willoughby and Polly (Harrell) Sparks, Frank Sparks and Segonia (Sparks) Pritchett, found Mary's (Polly's) grave in Hills Cemetery. It had a headstone marker then which read "Polly Sparks, 1813." When they revisited the cemetery the following year for the purpose of replacing the marker, someone had removed it.
"Hill Cemetery is in Parker County, TX. It is off of I-20 on Gilbert Pit Road. Go down the road past the gravel pit and the cattle guard. It is on the right back off the road." [George Boatright, http://boatwrightgenealogy.com/index.html] [This stone is still in the cemetery.]
I don't believe this information is correct for our Polly Sparks, it would make her only a child when these children were born and she was married previously. I don't believe she married at 10. Her stone may say 1813 but it would be obviously incorrect. | BOATWRIGHT, Mary (I6511)

I have a photo of Father Reicher she dated at 1924 and said she had been working at the Chancery for one year. | RICKERT, Irene Pearl (I1813)

I have christening records for George and James that give George Fowlie and Margaret Cantly as their parents and Jane is listed as James's sister on the 1880 census. William, Alexander, and Joseph are usually listed near this family but I don't know that they are Margaret's children; she would have been rather old to have Joseph circa 1843. I also found a record for an Arthur Fowlie born in 1835 who is connected somehow. The children's ages and birthdates are not consistent which makes it difficult.
Margaret's tomstone gives the birth year 1785, which isn't consistent with the census records and makes the births of the younger children improbable. It's possible that Alex and Joseph are sons of George the younger. | CANTLY, Margaret (I22317)

I have copies of two news articles that are about Bladen and his lost grave. The first (1930) bemoans the fate of the grave after his family moved to Michigan and the second (1942) celebrates the placing of a memorial stone by the DAR.

I have material you will like in regard to Tipton Thompson. What I am writing now is all off the top of my head: In about 1979 when I was first gathering family material and asking living family members about family history, I found documents, among the documents that I know were my family's, having to do with the guardianship of the minor children of James Thompson -who died in Logansport about 1829. (I know you have Tipton's birth as 1832, but it had to have been before that). Their mother's name was Catherine. The children whose names I remember were Dunham, Hedge, Tipton, and Margaret. Possibly more than 4. I have never been able to understand just why these documents were with my family's documents.
I have an ancestor named Nancy Thompson whose father was Richard Thompson. I have never been able to find out if this James Thompson was a brother of Nancy. They were of the same generation. As you well know, Thompson research can be very difficult! And my main focus is on other ancestors. If Tipton had a more common given name, I would never have been able to make a connection.

I have no idea where all these children were for the 1870 Census. It's possible that we have mixed two families or that Elev had more than one wife. Almost every record that gives a surname for Mari, gives a different one. I can only be sure of the 1880 census that includes Erik. It wouldn't make sense for them to have one child, jump to 6 children and then back to one. The 1880 adds in Bottle Iversen in the next household. Is this Mari's father? If so, it ties the two families together.
If there are two families, Elev, Mary Botolvsdatter/Iverson and Anna are the first family with Elev, Mari Berg/Berkan and the rest of the children as the second family. Unfortunately, this is what happens when you don't record sources and/or accept help from other researchers who don't supply sources.
I believe the proper way to display the places in Norway would be similar to Sterb, Aurland, Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. Aurland is a kommune, a municipality, similar to a township. Sogn og Fjordane is a fylke and is similar to a county. Sterb would be a village or maybe a farm. The places marked with an asterisk * do not exist in my database of places spelled as they are in my locations. Some of them may be in a different kommune or fylke.
The historical Norwegian naming pattern is pretty straight-forward. The child has a given name and surname that is made up of his/her father's name with the suffix sen (for boys) or datter/dtr (for girls). Therefore, our Elev (or Eilef) is the son of Erik (the son of Eilef) and our Mari is the daughter of Botolv (the son of Ivar). When these families came to America, they had to settle on one surname for the entire family. In some cases, siblings used different surnames. Too, their names were "Americanized" sen became son - Erickson - and datters became the sons of their grandfathers - Mari Iverson. [For my Norwegian friends: I know very little of your customs so I have made this as simple as possible for the folks who know nothing.] | ERIKSEN, Elev (I4837)

I have NO PROOF that any of these children are the offspring of Rowland and Clarissa. I have NO PROOF that Rowland and Clarissa are the parents of our Tabitha. Our link from Tabitha to Rowland is that she named a son Roland Tankersley Burford.
Everything I have for Tabitha's parentage and siblings is guesswork. If you use my name as a resource, I would appreciate it if you would record that I said so. | TANKERSLEY, Rowland (I2512)
