It all started when I became interested in joining DAR. I have since then become practically addicted to putting as many of the pieces of the puzzle together as possible. Fortunately, a lot of my ancestry has been fairly easy to trace. I am attempting to complete my application to DAR through my paternal line (Tinsley). My gr-gr-gr-grandfather (Moses Tinsley) married Elizabeth T. "Betsey" Tinsley March 19, 1798, in Amherst Co., VA. Betsey was the daughter of John Turner and Mildred Suddarth Turner. Moses' and Betsey's son, Isaac Turner Tinsley, married Mary Ann Turner (his first cousin), daughter of James S. Turner and Nancy Goodrum. I have virtually complete information on the descendants of Isaac Turner Tinsley and Mary Ann Turner. What I need are documents which help to prove at least a close approximation to the dates of: Betsey Turner's birth in Amherst County, VA and death in Sumner Co., TN in approximately 1806; and the birth date and death date of her husband, Moses Tinsley. Also, I need the same sort of documentation on Mary Ann Turner's birth in Sumner Co., TN. Can anyone out there help me? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Of course, I am willing to share any thing I have which could help others.

Via) Reply-to: hevia@sprintmail.com To: ncreed1@aol.com CC: jcarroll@mis.net Dear Cousins Nyla and Eva: Just wanted to send the both of you a big "Thanks" for all of the info that I have received from you. I am very limited in my genealogical activities right now as I broke my leg on 10/10/97 and had to have surgery to repair the damage. Needless to say I am having difficulty accessing my actual physical genealogical papers and files which will probably last another month. So I will be able to send you some better data later on. For now I am pretty much limited to the info in my computer. Again, thanks for all of your help as its really appreciated.

To find out, If I could, The making of me. All that I knew was Great- Grandfather's Name, Not knowing his wife or whence he came. I chased him through villiages, cities, and States, And came up with pages of odd names and dates. When I put them together, it makes me forlorn, I'd proven Great-grandfather had never been born. One day I was sure that the truth had been found, New dates that would turn the whole thing around. I looked up old records from my Great Uncle Tim And proved that his Dad was younger than him. Then, just when my hopes were fading so fast, I discovered new records from out of the past. The facts I've gathered make me quite sad My dear old Great Grandpa was never a dad. I think some rascal is pulling my leg With records that prove I was hatched from an egg. Dispite all this effort documenting my tree, I can't help but wonder If I am really Me..

Your voice is like an angel, Though I really do not hear; Your hug as warm as any Of loved ones I hold dear.
