[John M. Gwin NOTE: The following 24.00--John/Emily Douglass family may or may not be that of our 25.00--Branch L. Douglas; however, when I searched the 1870 Virginia census for any Virginian of the right age with the given name of Branch, this 25.08--Branch L. Douglass was one of a mere handful to appear. And the fact that he has the correct last name (though spelled with two esses)] convinces me that he is indeed our target.]

Subject: Southard connection

This has nothing to do with your line, but... My great-great-grandfather was Elias Southard whom you have on your Douglas page in the census of 1870. His son Benjamin (who was between Emily J. and William F. who married Lucy A.) was my grandfather. It is interesting to me to find out her maiden name, possibly, and I agree with your findings, probably! Benjamin married and had a family in Virginia; however, his oldest son moved to Oklahoma when it was Indian Country, and Benjamin followed and died in Oklahoma and is buried at Ft Sill, Oklahoma. His wife refused to come to Oklahoma and is buried at Standardsville, VA. My husband and I raise wheat and cattle on my grandfather's land he got in 1903. This is all side-family-info, but your page was interesting to me, and I had to share. Louise Southard West]

[John M. Gwin Note: The following post, "Tracing Vanished Flight", was found on an online forum and is copied here to assist the writer in his quest.]

On April 2, 1945, a B-29 with the 869th Squadron, 497th Bomb Group, AAF Serial No. 42-93883, took off from Saipan at 2100 hours as part of a large bombing mission over Tokyo. It was apparently never seen or heard from again. No trace of the plane or the crew of 11, which included Sgt. Willis Jennings Comer (he went by "Jennings") of Buena Vista, Va., was ever found, according to records. I am the nephew of Jennings Comer and am posting this in the hope that someone can offer some suggestions on trying to find information about the missing plane, or at the very least that one of the veterans who visit this site can offer up a remembrance of my uncle.

The only information ever received by my mother (Jennings' oldest sister, who still survives and still grieves) was in the form of letters from his CO, Lt. Col. Robert K. Morgan, and other Army officials, in the months and year after his disappearance and before he was officially declared KIA. Those letters state that the plane took off, as mentioned above, at 2100 hours from Saipan on 4/2/45 but was never seen again by any other crews (they were not flying in formation) and was not heard from over Tokyo (no radio contact during the mission). It was the 9th mission for the crew, captained by Lt. Edwin F. Dietzel. In one letter it is mentioned that there was a report of a plane that crashed 30 miles NW of Tokyo on that night and that a common grave containing bodies of an undertermined number of men was found, but that no ID could be made of the remains and the investigation went no further. I did request, and receive, a Missing Air Crew Report from the National Archives a couple of years ago, but it offered no further clues. I've searched many online sites but have had no luck. If anyone can offer any suggestions or tips, I'd be most grateful. Does anyone have any suggestions, for instance, on following up on the report of the grave site mentioned in the report, near Tokyo? Are there any online sources of Japanese records?

By the way, when I received the MACR from the National Archives, it included details from two other planes shot down over Tokyo that night. I guess they were part of the microfilm file. One was of a plane with the 874th Squadron, 498th Bomb Group, captained by Lt. Carl G. Smith. Some of the crew of that flight reportedly bailed out and were taken prisoner. The other report was on a plane with the 877th Squadron, 499th Bomb Group, and the pilot was Kenneth H. Dustin. The aircraft nickname was Jug Haid II. As with my uncle's flight, there is no information at all as to what happened to that plane.

Thanks for anything anyone can offer or suggest. I have posted more info, including a photo of my uncle, at the following web site. It includes a list of the 11 crew members on that flight and excerpts from letters that Jennings wrote home from Saipan. They may be of interest to the vets from that campaign. The web site is http://www.radford.edu/~rrogers/wjcomer.html.

Warmest regards to all veterans and others associated with the 20th AAF.

	Shem	m	1830	20		VA	laborer	I believe this is our Shem, husband of Catherine and father of Amos. His age fits and his location fits; further, how many Shem Heatwoles can there be who match up like that? SO, IF this is he--and I'm convinced it is--we just opened up another generation! By the way, Ancestry.com mistranscribed his first name as "Shew".

Finding him here led us to him again in 1850 where we learn that his father's name is Shem as well; therefore, we'll call this one Shem Junior and his father Shem Senior.

Research: Order of Battle

01. We started this Hartsell line with Gordon's mom, 27.02--Dorothy Jean Hartsell.
02. Her father was 26.02--Dale Milburn Hartsell, both of whom show up in the 1930 census in Fresno, CA.
03. Dale was also located in the 1920, 1910, and 1900 censuses of Cocke Co., TN.
04. When Dale appeared in the 1900 census, he was living with his parents, 25.02--William Brownlow Hartsell (age 36) and his wife Josephine.
05. The jump to 1880 presented a problem, as Will and Jo were not yet married, so we had to depend on age and location.
06. Nevertheless, there was only one William Hartsell living in Cocke Co., TN, who was age 16 in 1880: the son of 24.0--John Harrison Hartsell.
07. For 1900, a John Hartsell was the right age, living in the right place, with the right wife, and with two of the right children (only one of whose ages is right, however).
08. We uncovered John again in 1870, and again all the names of people and places aligned themselves with those in the other censuses.
09. This led us to John again--this time in 1850--with all his siblings to date and his parents: 23.0--Abraham Hartsell and wife Rebeca.

10. Then on 29 Apr 2007, Kathy Douglas loaned me the Hartsell book--The Hartsell Connection by Larry D. and Magdalene E. Fox (who attribute much of this work to the research of Mrs. Edith Richardson of Gainesville, GA, a Hartsell descendant)--that belongs to her Aunt Lorraine Smith (who had mailed it to Kathy and Gordon). Information I've gleaned exclusively from this work appears below in this purple color. It is far too extensive for me to copy in its entirety here, however. Aunt Lorraine, I promise to be very careful with it--thanks for sending it! I've already read through quite a bit of it and have seen that it corresponds almost perfectly with what I have already found out as listed above. I plan to make a copy of it and give it back to Kathy as quickly as possible.

[John M. Gwin Note: Kathy Douglas emailed me regarding the spelling of "Jaanila"; she wrote:

I think that 'Jaanila' must have come from illegible handwriting. If the person was writing "Juanita" and the "u" looked more like an "a", and the "t" wasn't crossed, then it would look like "Jaanila."

Until then, neither of us had looked at the original record, only at Ancestry.com's mistranscription of it (above, right). At left is this original. Of course it is Juanita, and she already knew that Gordon's aunt is Juanita, not Jaanila, but I think we have a sleuth here, folks! This is the type of thinking one has to do all the time in this hobby. Do you think Kathy has been bitten by the genealogy bug? (:-)

Listed are this 22.05--Delilah Hartzell Early, 65 and b. in TN, widow of Mr. Early and mother of the head of this household, Martin L.

That leaves the Augusta Johnson, 24 (whom I believe to be one and the same as the 23.08--Delilah A. Early, b. 1836, daughter of 2.5--Delilah and youngest sister of Martin); her daughter Elizabeth Johnson, 1; and her husband, George W. Johnson, 22, b. NC, none of whom can read or write.

Some Pertinent Hartsell Family Census Data:

Please note that I have listed census records here in two different formats.

First are summary transcriptions of copies of the original census records transcribed by Ancestry.com, some of which may have been mistranscribed. Because I was in a hurry at the time, I simply cut and pasted them from Ancestry.com into the places above where they best fit to at least get some of the data (names and ages) onto this page.

Second are my own transcriptions, below, of copies of the original census pages. These include more data than simply the names and ages of the parties as in the summary trancriptions. These are listed in charts with this pale yellow background. While they take longer to add, I believe they may be more valuable because of the additional information.

		Polly Hartsell	20		f			TN	I speculate that Polly is the oldest daughter of Wm. and Margaret, that she married a Hartsell and bore him these two sons, that he died and left her a widow and them fatherless, and that her parents took her back in to raise her little family under their roof. Who her husband would have been is unknown; however, one possiblity exists (in that he's about the right age and his date of death is unknown): 3.09--William T. Hartsell, b. ca. 1823; d. unk.;
		Isaac Hartsell	3		m			TN	Quite possibly he's the namesake of Polly's oldest brother, listed here as 18.

29 Aug 1850	213/213	Thomas Early	53		m			NC	I'm so glad I made this search! Here is a Thomas Early. I recognized the last name immediately from our outline. Thomas' age indicates he was born before the turn of the century, so he's of Delilah Hartsell's generation, and sure enough, his wife is named Delilah!
		Delilah	50		f			NC	Her age here is a little inconsistent with the information we have above (the data I was given indicates she was born in about 1794).

But the other was age 7, and since our David had been married 12 years already in 1900 (and would therefore have been married at age 17-18), the other would've had to have been married at age 14-15, not nearly as likely.

Sources:

Kathy Douglas and her parents, George and Joanne Shaw Brown, got me started with info they knew on their family.
I used Ancestry.com to search census data.
Then today, 13 Jun 2008, Kathy's cousin Mike Brown sent all the data I have included below in this GOLD color.

24.00--Royal H. Brown, b. in NY ca. 1813 [age 37 in 12 Sep 1850 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [age 46 in 23 Jun 1860 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY] ; d. betw. 1860-70 [because Alida is widowed and living with her son Harvey in Illinois in 1870]; m. Alida Potter (b. in NY ca. 1814 [age 36 in 12 Sep 1850 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [age 45 in 23 Jun 1860 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY] ; d. aft. 1870 [because Alida is widowed and living with her son Harvey in Illinois in 1870]); at least 5 ch.: John, Harvey, William, Sidney, and Clark.

25.01--John Brown; b. ca. 1837 [age 13 in 12 Sep 1850 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [not present and assumed married and living elsewhere in 23 Jun 1860 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; d. unk.; m. unk.; unk. ch.

[John M. Gwin Note: Looking for this John in the 1860 census, I found two of the right age in prisons and one living with his new bride, Sarah, 17, and her parents, Hiram and Prudence Merrill, in Homer, Cortland Co., some 100-150 miles south of Watson in Lewis Co.]

25.02--Harvey S. Brown; b. ca. 1838 [age 12 in 12 Sep 1850 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [not present and assumed married and living elsewhere in 23 Jun 1860 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; d. after 1870; m. unk.; unk. ch.

25.03--William Brown; b. ca. 1840 [age 10 in 12 Sep 1850 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [not present and assumed married and living elsewhere in 23 Jun 1860 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY] ; d. unk.; m. unk.; unk. ch.

25.04--Sidney Brown, b. Apr. 1848 in NY [age 2 in 12 Sep 1850 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [age 12 in 23 Jun 1860 census of Watson, Lewis Co., NY]; [age 52 in 4 Jun 1900 census of Medicine, Lincoln Co., NE] (parents both b. NY); d. 4 Jul 1919 in Hanford, CA; m. in Cochise Co., AZ, on 5 Apr 1880 to Elizabeth A. Truelove (b. Feb. 1862 in CA {but son Royal reports in 1910 that his mother was b. in Mexico, and son Lee reports in 1930 that she was b. in AZ} [age 38 in 4 Jun 1900 census of Medicine, Lincoln Co., NE]; [age 57 in 19 Jan 1920 census of Armona, Kings Co., CA, where she is a widow living with two sons, Lester and Royal E.]; d/o William Green Truelove and Sarah Davis, {both b. in MO, per Elizabeth in 1920 census; m. in Shaw's Flat, Tolulome Co., CA, in 1855}; d. 28 Jun 1928 in Laton, CA) {But Elizabeth is living as the widowed household head in 1920 with sons Royal E. and Lester, so this 1928 date cannot be correct--perhaps 1918?--John Gwin}; at least 6 ch.

[Mike Brown Note: Elizabeth's maiden name is Truelove, sometimes spelled Trulove. I believe they may have met in AZ as there is a Sidney Brown operating a saloon with his oldest brother John in the 1880 census, although Sidney's age doesn't match. Elizabeth may have been there visiting family, an aunt named Louise Davis, that she grew up with in CA after her parents died. Elizabeth's father, William, was a prospector who died in 1869. I don't know what year Sarah died. I can't locate her in the 1870 census, which by then her children are living in CA with their grandfather, Joel Davis, Sarah's father.

Concerning Sidney S. Brown, I have not been able to locate him in the 1870 census. It would be interesting to see if the 22 year old was still in NY or had started his way west by that time. My info on Sidney in the 1880 census is speculative and unconfirmed, but it is the best lead I have at this time. I am also stumped on the next generation beyond his parents, Royal H. Brown & Alida Potter. Royal named his first born John, Sidney's oldest brother. I found the names John Brown and Polly Spaulding in NY, who had a son named Royal H. and who was born in the correct year, but I have been unable to find enough information to confirm it's our Royal.]

26.01--Royal E. Brown, b. Jan. 1881 in AZ [age 19 in 4 Jun 1900 census of Medicine, Lincoln Co., NE] [age 29 in 4-6 May 1910 census of Lemoore, Kings Co., CA, where he is a single man and a farm manager living near Rosa and Lester] [age 39 in 19 Jan 1920 census of Armona, Kings Co., CA, where he is a single man and a truck driver living with Lester and their mother Elizabeth A.]; d. in his home 1956; m. never?; no known ch.

Bertha Ann Brown was my grandmother. She died right after she had my mother Ruby Frieda Luft (4th child). I have been trying to find information on her. My mother recently passed away and I didn't get who my grandmother's parents were and where they were born.

After my grandmother died my grandfather remarried and had another child Doris Luft. As it stands all my aunts and mother have passed.

I would like to thank you for your page; I was going off in the wrong direction. I do have family tree on Ancestry.com named the Cavanaugh Family. I currently have 1400+ entries.

Some Pertinent Brown Family Census Data:

I have listed census records here in two different formats.

First are summary transcriptions of copies of the original census records transcribed by Ancestry.com, some of which may have been mistranscribed. Because I was in a hurry at the time, I simply cut and pasted them from Ancestry.com immediately below to at least get some of the data (names and ages) onto this page.

Second are my own transcriptions of copies of the original census pages. These include more data than simply the names and ages of the parties as in the summary trancriptions. These are listed below the summaries in charts with this pale yellow background. While they take longer to add, I believe they may be more valuable because of the additional information.

	Rosa A. Brown	wf	1844	26			NY		And now we know his wife's name.
	Ella Brown	wf	Mar 1870	3mos.			IL		Ella's age is likely a clue to their wedding date. Three months plus nine more would put their marriage about July 1869. And if Rosa was b. in NY, that would probably mean that their move to IL would've been within the year, don't you think?
	Aleda Brown	wf	1815	55			NY		This is our Alida Potter, no doubt. She is probably a widow here, since Royal is nowhere to be seen. Hmmm--where is 17-year-old Clark?
	William Porter	wm	1857	13			NY	att'd. sch. w/in the year	Hmm. William's last name could possibly be Potter, heard as Porter by an Illinois enumerator listening to a New York accent. If so, perhaps he had been with Alida (his aunt?) before the move

	Lucretia Green	wf	1792	78			RI		This is the same Lucretia for whom Alida Brown is housekeeper (caregiver?) in 1880.

170	Lucretia Green	wf	88	1792	[BLANK]	wd.	keeping house		NY/RI/RI	I'm not sure who this is. Alida is living with her as a caregiver (but are they related?) In the 1870 census of this same place, she and her husband, Winter, age 80, are right here, with Charles and his father Riley still right down the street.
	Alida Brown	wf	65	1815	[BLANK]	wd.	housekeeper		NY/RI/CT	Here is Alida again, now a widow, serving as a caregiver at 65.
171	Charles Potter	wm	33	1847		m	clerk in store			Alida's alleged maiden name is Potter, so this could be a nephew and his family.
	Ella C. Potter	wf	30	1850		m	keeping house

	Grace R. Potter	wf	6	1874		s

	Harvey Brown	wm	40	1840	son-in-law	m	dealer in horses
	Rosa A. Brown	wf	36	1844	wife	m	keeping house			It appears that she is actually the daughter of the household head, Riley, and wife of Riley's son-in-law, Harvey. Rosa is Riley's daughter, so if my earlier specualtion is correct (that Riley and Alida are siblings) then Rosa and Harvey are first cousins, perhaps putting Ella and Riley B. at risk for genetic deficiencies/defects. I hope their descendants turned out well.
	Ella G. Brown	wf	10	1870	daughter	s				It appears that she is actually the daughter of Harvey and Rosa, thus the granddaughter of the household head. This is H&R's firstborn (we believe); however, with no more children showing for ten years, we may assume that several have died very young, leading us to believe that others may even have preceded Ella in birth; therefore, their marriage could have been even earlier than July 1869.
	Riley Brown	wm	1	1879	son	s				We'll call him Riley B. for reference's sake.
	Nancy Marwood	wf	19	1861	servant	s				Is she a relative, too? She's from NY
174	Rebecca Potter	wf	63	1817	head	wd	keeping house
	George F. Potter	wm	24	1856	son	s	works the farm
192	Frederick Green	wm	26	1854	head		merchant		NY/NY/NY	I decided to include this family because the last name, GREEN, is the same as Lucretia's, residence #170 above, and he's also from NY. He could be a grandson of Lucretia and thereby a first cousin to Harvey. On the other hand, there are MANY in this census who were born in NY; in fact, it looks like an entire trainload of Illinois settlers may have made a mass exodus from NY together! Who knows--maybe they're ALL related... A quick scan search of this census has turned up another GREEN family--Jefferson, 50 (NY/NY/NY); wife Mary, 41 (IL/MA/MA); daughters Hettie A., 17, and Sarah M., 15; granddaughter Mollie Ovesen (Overen?), 1; an elderly Nelson couple (who are likely Mary's parents--MA/MA/MA). And living next door is an Overen/Oveson family--and on and on it seems to go! Are they all Brown relations? Another thought: the father of Sidney Brown's wife, Elizabeth Truelove Brown, is William Green Truelove.
	Katie Green	wf	26	1854	wife		keeping house		OH/OH/OH

	Julia Hoover	wf	16	1864	niece	s	housekeeper		IL
	Christopher Sickles	wm	15	1865		s			IL/NY/NJ	OK, now that we see his last name, we can go back to Res/Fam #187 and see a Hoover family--Isaac (a physician, 49), Hattie his wife, 37, and his elderly parents--and a resident in their home is a Metha V. Sickels, 17, Dr. Hoover's niece! Are these all relatives to the Browns?

Hi John,
My name is Mike Brown in California. George & Joanne Brown are my uncle and aunt. I enjoyed very much looking at your research on the family names, and I wanted to add whatever I could.
Unfortunately none of it is computerized. You may have some of this information already, so please forgive any duplication.
I can confirm your information on Sidney Brown's parents, Royal H. Brown and Alida Potter.
Royal died between 1860-70 because Alida is widowed and living with her son Harvey in Illinois in 1870. I do have additional information on the Potter line.
Sidney Brown died July 4, 1919, in Hanford, CA. His wife Elizabeth's maiden name is Truelove, sometimes spelled Trulove. She died June 28, 1928, in Laton, CA. They were married in Cochise Co., AZ on April 5, 1880. I believe they may have met in AZ as there is a Sidney Brown operating a saloon with his oldest brother John in the 1880 census, although Sidney's age doesn't match. Elizabeth may have been there visiting family, an aunt named Louise Davis, that she grew up with in CA after her parents died. Elizabeth's parents were William Green Truelove and Sarah Davis, married in Shaw's Flat, Tolulome Co., CA in 1855. William was a prospector who died in 1869. I don't know what year Sarah died. I can't locate her in the 1870 census, which by then her children are living in CA with their grandfather, Joel Davis, Sarah's father.
Royal E. Brown died in 1956. I have no information about his marriage, if he ever was.
Nettie Brown married Ralph Delano Dec. 24, 1903. She died May 14, 1956, in Lewis Co., WA
Lee B. Brown married Litisha Dodds in 1922. Litisha was the mother of Georgie Dodds, Lester Brown's wife. No children. Lee died in 1959. (I did not have the 1930 census info on Lee--thank you!).
Rosa Brown married Madison Stogdill in 1911. She died March 7, 1959, in LA Co., CA.
Bertha Brown married Henry Luft in 1914. 3 children. She died in 1920 at age 29.
Lester Brown (my grandfather) married Georgie Dodds on Feb. 6, 1924, in Compton, CA.
Hope this is helpful, and thank you for sharing your work and information with all of us.
Mike

Subject: RE: Brown Family

John,

Good to meet you as well. I looked at the updated pages and let me first say how much easier on the eyes it is to read your typed and organized research than my handwritten scribbles and notes! What a gift to the Brown family--thanks again for taking the time to do this. I know I have a few additional names and dates which I will pass on to you when I locate them.

My research on the family over the years has been very satisfying to me, although at times I've hit a lot of dead ends! Kathy undoubtedly mentioned the Jesse James connection to you, something we have been told since we were kids, but I have not been able to fully connect the dots (if you are able to, John, you will most definitely be the new Brown family hero!). Here is what I know about it:
The James name enters on my grandmother Georgie Dodd's line. As I mentioned previously, her mother is Littisha, or Letisha, Reynolds (m. Dodds), who married Lee B. Brown in 1922. Littisha's parents are William Reynolds and Mary A. James, married Feb 12, 1864, in Macon Co., MO., and who came to CA I believe in the 1890's. Mary James' death certificate lists her birth as Nov. 22, 1845, and her death date is June 22, 1918. Her father is listed as A. James and mother as Ruth Smith. In The 1850 census of District 22, Macon Co., MO., I found an Alfred James, age 45, and wife Ruth, age 45, and one of their children is Mary A., age 10 (putting her birth year in 1840, not 1845 as indicated on the death cert.). A brother is on the same census, named Hampton, and I found a Hampton James living in CA with Mary A. and husband William Reynolds in the 1900 census, so I'm fairly certain I have the correct family. Beyond this, I'm not sure how to proceed to connect our family with the infamous outlaw. Kathy and I have both viewed the Jesse James family tree and neither of us found a connection. But it's compelling because Jesse (b.1847) and Mary A. are born in the same generation and in the same state, although different counties. Perhaps distant cousins?

Concerning Sidney S. Brown, I have not been able to locate him in the 1870 census. It would be interesting to see if the 22 year old was still in NY or had started his way west by that time. My info on Sidney in the 1880 census is speculative and unconfirmed, but it is the best lead I have at this time. I am also stumped on the next generation beyond his parents, Royal H. Brown & Alida Potter. Royal named his first born John, Sidney's oldest brother. I found the names John Brown and Polly Spaulding in NY, who had a son named Royal H. and who was born in the correct year, but I have been unable to find enough information to confirm it's our Royal.

More later John, and Happy Father's Day!

Mike

Some Pertinent Felker Family Census Data:

Other Interesting Felker Family Data:

"An illustration of sorts--and an engaging digression--brings to the fore a recent hypothesis promulgated by N Brent Kennedy that Melungeons are descended from Ottoman Turks. Evelyn McKinley Orr, a member of the previously mentioned Melungeon Research Committee, wrote a few years back that her Melungeon ancestor, David Goings (whom she discovered in the fall of 1989) must have had Turkish ancestry because Norman Goings of Selma, Indiana, wrote that in 1939 that "Tuckahoe" was the term used by the family to describe itself. Somebody suggeted to Orr that "Tuckahoe" was a "nicname for people from Turkey." Orr stated that David Goings married in Montgomery County, Virginia, and that his wife's family were members of the New River German settlement."

"Tuckahoe" is not at all a misreading or mispronunciation of Turkish. Tuckaho unequivocally alludes to the Virginia origins of Goings. In "Tennessee Civil War Veterans questionnaires", George Washington Lewis of Lebanon, Tennessee, stated that his father Carroll Lewis was from James River in Virginia and that his grandfather Samuel Lewis was a colonel in the Continental Army during the Revolution. He commanded a "regiment of Tuckaho Indians." "Tuckaho" was once a widespread sobriquet for Virginians, especially those from east of the Blue Ridge. The term is derived from thePowhatan language and originally applied to several different roots, tubers, and fungi, some used by Indians for food, especially in the form of bread.Tuckahowas possibly consumed by poor Virginians of every color, for the wordcame to refer to Virginians generally. TheTuckahoIndian regiment mentioned by George Lewis was composed of foot soldiers from the piedmont counties of Albermarle, Fluvanna, Louisia, and so forth, and was but one of severalVirginia regiments of Indian soldiers. Several reputed Tennessee Melungeons had been Revolutionary soldiers in piedmont Virginia before moving down to Newman Ridge. In fact, several mustered and served in the general region of the said Tuckaho Indian regiment. In the Tennessee Civil War Veterans questionnaires, George Lewis stated that the farm he grew up on near Lebanon, Tennessee, was worked before the Civil War by hired free Indian labor..."

"The latest exotic-origins movment, favoring connections with Portuguese, Ottoman Turks, or possibly other Mediterraneans, has generated a peculiar following on the Internet--another virtual community. For such folks,Melungeons are a hot topic, as illustrated by five recently published books and the developement of the ad-hoc "Melungeon Research Committee" noted earlier in this essay. However, I suggest that the current movement is butthe latest in a series of mid to late 20th century reinventions of the Melungeons. Unfortunately, while hypothetical "Off-shore Others" flood Appalachia and the word-wide web, real Melungeon histories and historic identities are being cast aside." CS Everett Appalachian Journal.

I am suggesting that the controversy over the Melungeon ethnicity is motivation of some of these vigorous attempts to deny the well documented black and white African ancestry of the Mihil-Thomas Gowen line. The more adamant of those who have denied African, have actually traveled to Turkey with Mr. Kennedy and strongly support his opinions. While I have high regard for Brent's character, I strongly disagree with him on the Turkish origin of Melungeons. He and I continue to communicate frequently and have none of the rancor that is directed to me by some of his followers on this sub.

Some of these so called exotic origins of Melungeons are coming under extreme academic fire, many of those theories will not survive scrutiny or time. We would be wise to keep that controversy separated from sound Gowen research toavoid being labeled as re-inventors of history. I rarely find anyone with the GRF objecting to Mihil and Thomas' Negro kinship who did not first have a strong opinion about the origin of the Melungeons. On the contrary, my article on the origin of the Melungeons was inspired from convincing documented archives of the GRF. This is how it should be. You should state your opinions without going into attack mode by talking about "speculation" etc. Let others make their decisions on the documentation. Genealogy, precisely documented, should drive the theory, not the other way around.

From a search of each of the 1900, 1910, 1920,
and 1930 U.S. Census data for "Rodney Gwin"

Based on these searches, it appears to me that this Rodney R. Gwin is a son of a Harry and Iva Gwin and that he moved away from home for some reason by the time he was fifteen. He was born in Indiana, which is where my Gwins were; however, he was living in central Indiana--Madison Co., not the southern part--in 1900, north of where my family lived but very near where the "other" Indiana Gwins lived. This is not conclusive, of course, for he could have been born in the southern part of the state and only lived in Madison Co. because he was boarding there. At this point, then, we are pretty much forced to abandon this pursuit via census reports, since there is no 1890 census available (it was burned), and try some other route such as birth certificates, etc.

Hi, honey, how interesting about the family history. There are some changes and requests tho:
I think Ken should be included in the history. I noticed that Stacey and Ron were (Kenneth Clark Brown, born 9-6-56 in Long Beach, CA, brother of Kathy)
Grandma Brown (Georgie Louise) was born on 9/4/05 in California
Grandpa Brown (Lester Sylvester Brown) was born on 5/15/l896 in Nebraska
Grandma Dutch was 22 when she married in 1927 – also include her middle name “Carey” She was born inCarey, OH (Dorcas Carey Felker)
My grandfather’s name (Grandma Dutch’s father) was Henry Robert Felker and he was born in Indiana in Sept. 1856 and died in 1908. I guess this is what is written already, so never mind .
My grandfather and grandmother married in 1899 – her maiden name was Dorcas Dow and she was born Nov. 27,. 1852
Your dad and I were married in 1952
Guess that’s about all for this time because I need to go each lunch before I go to my foot therapy. This was very, very interesting to me.
Love, Mom
P.S. Looks like you need to change your kids’ birth years, huh?

Hi, John, yes that is the Lester Sylvester Brown that belongs to us.
George said that there was a sister of Rosa and Lester and her name was Nettie (sp?).
Also possibly there was an Elisabeth (sp?) that was their sister.
Lester Sylvester Brown died in May 1969, and
Georgie Louise died in October of 1989.
Also Dorcas (Dutch) Shaw died in November 1970 and
John Clark Shaw died in January 1984.

I just remembered that you don’t have my Aunt Kay’s (Katrina Felker (Bright) year of death. She died in l976.
She was married to Leonard Phillip Bright.
They had two children, Natalie Rose and Richard Phillip.
Also George just told me that his father (Lester Sylvester) had another sibling and his name was Lee B. Brown.
I don’t know when my Uncle Al (Alvin Felker) died. It was after my Aunt Kay and Mom.
He was married to Nancy (don’t know maiden name) and didn’t have any children together.
She had one from another marriage, a daughter.
Now George just found his dad’s death certificate and it says his year of birth was 1895.
Also my grandmother, Dorcas Dow Felker, was remarried (don’t know the date, but many years later) to a J. N. (think it was John) Brown.
No relation to us, of course.
She died in 1950 in Long Beach.
That’s all for this time. This could get to be time consuming!!
Joanne

Hi, John, George just said his brother LeRoy’s birth year was 1925 instead of 1924.

Subject: corrections and additions
Hi John, A few items:
Gordon's dad's name is Roslyn Elwood Douglas, goes by "Doug."
In the family photo, change James to Doug (James is his father)
In the family photo, Rebecca is the newborn, and Jessica is age 4.
Photo taken May 1989.
Gordon's eldest brother is Roslyn Elwyn--different name than his dad, so he is not a junior.
Married Kathleen Elizabeth Manning on Dec 17, 1966. ( another Kathy Douglas!)
Stacey Douglas married Janet Miller June 26, 1982. No children.
Doug has an older sister, Olive (married William Middleton), and a younger sister Joyce Elizabeth (married Carl McAndrews).
I don't know their dates of birth and marriage. If you would like to call and talk to my father-in-law, his number is.
He has an excellent memory and could give you lots of info about the Douglas clan.
Beth's name Elisabeth is spelled with an "s". Her birthdate is May 29, 1987.
Rebecca's city of birth is Visalia, CA (same as Beth's)
Please change my profession to registered nurse and lactation consultant.
Ron and Kathy Douglas have 3 sons--info is on the pages that I copied. all married now with children.
Georgie Louise Dodds was born 9-4-04, not 1905.
I confirmed that with my mom today.
Ken and his first wife Janice Casey Jones Brown have 2 children--Greg and Leslie--info is on one of the pages that I copied. Divorced.
Ken and Margo Melinda Morales were married June 1, 1996.
Margo did not change her name to Brown.
Whew!! This family tree has many branches!!!
This is so wonderful of you to gather all of this info. I hope you're not getting tired of our family!
I'm going to send my cousins this website, and I'm sure that they will be happy to add to it!
