| The saga of our family tree is really the story of the settlement of the southern United States. Our ancestors were never wealthy, but very often infamous. They worked hard for the little they had and raised big families rich with love. Often these people proved too human and made errors in their lives. Having discovered some of these errors in my search, I've had to realize that we all are human and children of God. And, afterall, it is His judgement, not mine or yours, that will prevail. His family: HENLEY HELMS STEWART RALEY STRAUGHN MOODY THOMASSON ROACH BROWN JOHNSON TAYLOR PIPPIN HARWELL MCMOY CAMPBELL BELL and many other secondary surnames. These families settled in the south AL, north FL areas in early 1800's. Most came from GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, ENG and even France. We are interested in finding original American settlers and countries of origin, maybe more! Her family: BUTLER??????????? STEARNES GAFFORD YOTHER MCDUFFIE LYNCH FISHER MCCUE MILLER WASHBURN TANNER GAFFORD,YOTHER--from GA, NC, VA, PA in 1700's MCDUFFIE--in Al from abt 1820 STEARNES--John Alexander Stearnes left the state abt 1887, destination Texas. John Gafford Stearnes was not born until 1891...what can we realize from this? BUTLER--the mysterious Frank Butler who's name appears on the death certificate as father of John Gafford Stearnes. FISHER--in CT abt 1900 (ggf Frank ran away & joined the circus!) MCCUE--in NYC early 1900s (gUncle Frank had four boys, Frank Jr., Tomothy, Howard, and B.J., but finding them is like a search in the old haystack.) MILLER, WASHBURN, TANNER, and LYNCH--mostly strong willed New England women who could raise a family in spite of run-away fathers! We have made great progress with the GAFFORD line thanks to Wade and Roy Gafford of TX (see their FTM homepages). And found out a little about the YOTHERs. But the other lines in my tree are at a BRICK WALL. If you have any clues, or even a shot in the dark, please e-mail. These reports are as accurate as I have been able to determine. If you find something wrong or different, please, e-mail me and let's determine together which is the correct information. Thanks for stopping by! |
