carr Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hey y'all ... it's my first post to The Family Tree ... I've looked back at some the old posts and didn't find what I was looking for. So I'm just wondering ... have you ever started a roll call with members listing the surnames they are researching? It's a small world after all (teehee). We might just get lucky and have an overlap somewhere!!! What duya think? Quote Link to comment
Screaming Eagle Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I think yes lol...Ringo and Ates as well as Brothers. Quote Link to comment
Momo Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We've never had a roll call as such. Just posts with requests. I think you have a good idea so I'll make this a sticky post. Quote Link to comment
carr Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Great!! I'll list some of mine now: Roberson Smith Miller Moore Bailey ? maybe Welch Ferguson Hurst Lambeth (secondary - in connection with Hursts and Lambeths) Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 About 5 years ago, when Survivor started, we did something like that here, with names. Wow, my DH has Moore, as well as Ferguson on his side, and I have Bailey, way way back on my side. So I'll add a couple here: Bartlett Martin Lee Jones Gugin Clark Scott That is a start. It is the Lee and Jones we are sort of stuck on. Quote Link to comment
carr Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks for replying Snowmom. My Fergusons are one of my brick walls ... in Tennessee. My grandmother was a Ferguson and we have no idea who her father was. My Moore's and Baileys (if I have the right connection -- just a hunch at this point) are in Georgia. Ring any Bells for your lines? Quote Link to comment
carr Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks Screaming Eagle and Momo. Should we start a comprehensive list and bump it to the top? Oh yeah, and does anybody know how to do that??? lol Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Let me see, I am thinking that all of DH's relatives would probably be around Iowa and so who knows for sure. People did move around back in the early 1900's and 1800's too. I was sure there were Fergusons on my side too, and I checked. They are in Canada but, of course could be other places too. We could start a sticky post with all of our sir names if enough are interested. Oh, I know there are at least 3 or 4 of us on here who have Jones in our backgrounds. I was looking for the Survivor name list and I couldn't find it, so maybe it was deleted during an update to the site. Quote Link to comment

ANewMe Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 There are tons of Hearns where I live here in MS. Anyone in particular that you are looking for Michelle? Oh yeah, Martin's too. Quote Link to comment
michelle Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Oops. I didn't think to add places. My family from Mississippi and Louisiana mostly. I know some may have been from Texas, Georgia, or North Carolina also. Forrest family from Amite, MS... traced back to TN also. Furthest is for Richard Forrest b. 1767, son of Richard C. Forrest.

michelle Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Well I know my husband has one uncle that lives in Iowa right now. I'm not sure if any of the other family has gone there or not. Quote Link to comment
gimmeaminute Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'm looking for: Bundy Coder Emmert Blank Johnson Lamont/Lemont Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Was it around Mapleton? That is where the Jones and Scotts were. What Johnson's are you looking for, can you give some names?? I'm adding a list of several names in the other thread, the one that I put all the names in order. Quote Link to comment
gimmeaminute Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 George Riley Johnson was an assemblyman to the New York State assembly from Neversink Township New York. He married Lucellia Jane Lamont. They moved to Kellettville in Forest County Pa. in the 1890's where he built what was at one time the largest tannery on the East Coast. He was my great-great grandfather. That's all the further back I have gotten. Family legacy says that he was part Native American. I have not been able to verify that and have not been able to find out anything further back than George Riley. Since he is listed in the who is who of the 23rd Judical district of Pa. you would think I would be able to find more information! Of course I did not know him but his grandson was my grandfather. He was a gentle, very dignified, hard working man with a great sense of humor and I adored him. I would like to find out more about his roots. Quote Link to comment
Karen Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm gonna add my list too, most of mine are still in S.C. all the way back to the 2nd Bull Run. Simmons King Lawson Woodward Avinger Lindler Taylor Griffin Griffith Tumblin Malloy Smith Harrison Heaton Young Harvey Murph Green LeMaster Brown Grissum. If any of these sound familar let me know.

The MacKinnon Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've got two JONES lines, both driving me nuts. My paternal names are from Ireland (counties Clare, Kilkenny & Tipperary) immigrating to Illinois: Freeman Hogan Kilpatrick Quinn Gorman Dillon Mullen My maternal names go back in America to 1620s in Virginia, from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales: Sanders Rook/Ruark Thornhill Johnson Riggins Hurt Wright Turner Allen Jones (two lines back in Sumner Co TN to 1800 then poof!) Love McNeal Britten/Brittain Hollowel Cutchins Davis All my maternal ancestors followed a VA/MD to NC to TN line. Some were Quakers early on. Great history lessons! Quote Link to comment
jakesnana Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have some names I'd like to add please. Spivey Shoemake Nova Barber Dowdy White Dawkins Genealogy has been a passion of mine for years. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If you go to the thread I started, "Surnames Starting With 'A'", you will find most of the names from my genealogy there. I'm thinking there could ba a 'King', 'Dowdy', and not sure what other name that some of you have listed. I do know there are 'Young's' in the family way back. Of course, Johnson, Jones, Bartlett, Lee, Gugin, Martin, are all the closest to me. Quote Link to comment
Snowmom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Mtn Mama, I know of course, there is Johnson, Jones, and Mullen in the family. I'm also thinking the name 'Davis' could be too, I'd have to check for sure. You know, the name Freeman, is the first name of one of my cousins, I'm wondering if possibly it could be a bit back on his dad's side. Again, I have a lot of names in the other thread.

CrabGrassAcres Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm looking for more info on the Abingtons (the family that lived next door to G. Washington's father.) The Kimbrells (Kimble, Kimball, Kimbel, Kimbrel), Brashier, in Alabama, S Carolina, NC, Virginia and the colonial area. Particularly I am looking for Ransom Kimbrell and info about the masacre and survivors since that is where I lost the thread. Also looking for info on the Biddy family of Alabama and the Bells, Popes and Welches of Mississippi. The Gilmores came over with Flora McDonald and I'm trying to trace them to my family in MS.
