Be sure to check out all our compilations that are on Chris Gaunt's home page: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt Thanks to Kevin, all the compilations have been zipped. The files can be searched and downloaded. Be aware that they are quite large, even zipped. Thanks to everyone who has shared information recently. I don't always acknowledge your contributions. Please know they are appreciated. It's your contributions that keep us going, one compilation at a time. I think the count is about 175 cousins and 226 compilations. If you haven't send us information on your family yet, now is a good time. Nyla CREED DePauk San Diego ====================== Subj: Via genealogy Date: 97-09-27 11:39:26 EDT From: patton@eskimo.com (David Patton) To: NCreed1@aol.com Hello Nyla, Judy Maupin suggested that I contact you. Do you happen to have a Manoah Via who was born about 1730 in Virginia? His daughter Mary Ann married Garland T. Gardner, and that's about all I know. Also, I'm curious about your Ross line. Do you have a William R. Ross who was born in 1804, and married Matilda Morgan in 1833? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! Chloe Patton patton@eskimo.com ======================== Subj: Civil War Burnett...help Date: 97-09-28 15:18:11 EDT From: CarBurCo To: NCreed1 Well, Burnett people, it's like this: I have volume one of June B. Bork's book which is great on the BURNETT beginnings. AND I have my grandmother's notes on her father-in-law who was in the Civil War : CAPT. ? WILLIAM WILTSHIRE (BUCK) BURNETT of Carter's Creek, near Columbia, Tennessee. B. 22 Jan 1829, D 16 Mar 1873 buried in the BURNETT family cemetary. He m. MARGARET ROUNDTREE after the death of his first wife, ELIZABETH BOWDEN who died 15 Jan, 1865. All this to say, I can go the long way to answer someone's question, "What regiment was he in?" and I guess I have to, if I hear from no one. BUT... I WAS HOPING SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE VOLUME TWO OF THE BORK BOOK and would look up WW Burnett's regiment, etc. for me. I would be glad to do lookups in vol. 1 for them. Basic info: WW BURNETT of Carter's Creek, Williamson County, Tn. Do not know if he enlisted in Tenn, or possibly in Dinwiddie Co., Va. his family's original home. Can someone help me? Thanks, Caroline ================ Subj: MAUPIN Date: 97-09-28 19:49:57 EDT From: Jlmaupin To: NCreed1 Nyla, We have recently started a MAUPIN discussion group on Rootsweb. For anyone that has the MAUPIN/VIA/BURNETT connections wanting to join the list they need to send an e-mail to MAUPIN-L-request@rootsweb.com In the body of the e-mail type the word subscribe and nothing else. They will then receive a welcome letter. Hope to see some VIA and BURNETT cousins join our group. Judy jlmaupin@aol.com ==================== Subj: Burnett/Turner Date: 97-09-28 20:01:49 EDT From: burnett@bright.net (J.R.Burnett) To: NCreed1@aol.com I an seeking information on my GGGranfather,his parents(?),and any siblings. His name was Richard Burnett,born abt 1813 in Campbell Co.VA. In 1833 he married Nancy Saunders,also in Campbell Co. By1840 they were in Highland/Clinton counties,OH. He may have been a brother or cousin to Creed Burnett,of Campbell Co. Thank you very much. John R Burnett burnett@bright.net ==================== Subj: Re: BURNETT and CORN families and a little HANCOCK Date: 97-09-28 19:11:00 EDT From: N4JED To: HarrisSEM CC: NCreed1 Sherry, Thanks for posting additional information on the BURNETT and CORN connections. These families along with the HANCOCKS are apparently more intertwined than any of us yet have figured out as you will see below. Something with the listing of heirs #c. in your post does not seem right. Family information I have put together shows that John BURNETT and Elizabeth TATE had a daughter named Judith BURNETT who married Shadrack TURNER 28 Jan 1813. These are my great, great, great grandparents. My info primarily was put together by my great grandmother for the Patrick-Henry Allied Families. As Judith was born in between other children of John and Elizabeth (TATE) BURNETT it is unlikely John divorced and remarried Elizabeth. As to John, Jr., seeing he was born 1799, he would not have had a daughter married in 1813. I am unsure where this second marriage came from or weather it was a mistake in the records or a second name for Elizabeth or even one of the other John Burnetts in the region at the same time span. At least one researcher here on Nyla's list has John BURNETT, Jr. married to Mary Ann PRILLIMAN - daughter of Jacob PRILLIMAN and Nancy SNIDOW. This info I have carried into my listing and I hope I have not been citing incorrect info. By the same token, a Burnett listing in the Allied Families literature from the 1970's quotes from the book "The Burnett Family" by Charles Howard Burnett of California which has John BURNETT, Jr. married to a Judith ___ with a daughter Judith BURNETT married to Shadrack TURNER. However, it does not attempt to clarify the dates or explain a daughter being married before her father was 14 years old. I tend to believe this is a repeating error. Perhaps June Bork will chime in with some help here. Now as to the CORN family. Jesse and Nancy HANCOCK could very well have had a son named Samuel as Jesse had a brother by that name. I only have info on the one child Jesse, Jr. married to Elizabeth listed for Jesse and Nancy. With regard to Nancy moving to Tennessee to be with family, I should point out that her brother Benjamin HANCOCK died in Tennessee 8 years after Jesse died leaving Nancy a widow. Possibly Nancy went to be with her brother. Also, I should point out Benjamin was married to Anna CORN, who I have not identified a family for yet. Is it confusing enough yet? Could Jesse, Jr. and Elizabeth have moved after marriage and then moved back? Possibly. It just came as a surprise to me and I still am unsure of the sequence. On an aside, Nancy Hancock was born 17 Jan 1763 at the family plantation of Cunningham (near Thomas Jefferson's Monticello) in Albemarle County. This later became Fluvanna County when it formed in 1777. Hope I have not added to much to this mess. Does anyone else have additional thoughts here? David n4jed@aol.com p.s. On a different note, several people have asked me about sources, quoting me as a source or availability of gedcom files of my complete listing. First off, I am an architect not a genealogist. I do this for fun. Because of that, I am less concerned about sources or accuracy of the data I have assembled than professionals or semi-so's would be. My enjoyment is looking at the patterns and how the lines interconnect. I have found several surprising connections between other lines and the ones here in our group that really show how small the world is. Most of the data I have for the 17,000 people in my program comes from you the participants here on Nyla's list. As such, I reference my data to the individual posting it or to the specific Compilation number. Some research I have done locally here and it is noted to the source. As I state in the beginning of my postings, use it as a guide or reference to aid yourself in your own research. It is correct in many cases but not all. And some is plain speculation based on logical guesses and incomplete data. If you have a specific question on sources I will be glad to try and answer it. Gedcoms. The way I am currently set up, I cannot export or inport gedcoms into my primary computer listing. It is not even on the computer I have connected to the internet which is where I put together the listings I send out. Again this is just the way this amateur has his programs set up. Please bear with me here, I can provide you with all the info you desire, you are just going to do the work and type it into your programs the same way I did (I just hope you are better than my two fingers).
