p.s. My great grandmother's name (wife of
Chapman Hyatt) was "Mattie," rather than
"Mossie" I have her wedding ring inscribed with
her name.

Chapman Hyatt was my great-grandfather. Hiram
Hyatt, his third child, was my grandfather. My
mother and her siblings lived for periods of time
at her grandfather's Hyatt's Health Camp--she and
her sisters would sometimes sneak into the cabins
of the guests (not realizing that tuberculosis could
be catching), and swipe a biscuit or piece of cake
from a kitchen table.

My Grandma Sally was born in Benton County, Tennessee...Chopped cotton most her life after marrying 1922 or so...As for how insidious being of the mind and thinking one group of people are somehow better than another...or less than another..Grandma made a comment when I was little...I never saw her treat anyone bad or look down on anyone. That one statement I'll never 4get:'As long as "they" know their place..?! I'll let the reader use their own free thinking ability, on this. And without doubt if you or I do the thorough research, with an open mind, religion/groups of people, believe this/taught this and upheld this by their actions, freely doing so. My Daddy was prejudiced..as little girl sitting next to him in our car in Chicago, Illinois...would make me..4-6 year old girl, CRINGE because of his negative words...saying degrading words bout different colors of people...If you asked he when he was alive, Why? his answer was/would have been because what 'color' these ones were? I totally know the factors behind this mentality as a 60 yr old woman now...What a shame!..)-'..In 1977 I toured this farm/plantation.. I didn't like the feeling as I thought of what happened here, In my mind without a doubt...I feel it ought to be common knowledge...no matter who likes/don't like or or whose feathers it RUFFLES either...If you print my statement that will be nice..I hope it is done like the Holocaust/concentration camps...common knowledge...Thx Dayle

I am the 8th great-granddaughter of Dr. John Johnstone, who came over on the Henry and Francis with his future wife Eupham and her parents George Scot and Margaret Rigg Scot in 1685. Have you had any luck in finding the father of Rev. William Johnstone of Laverocklaw or the area where John and his family lived?
Thanks for the wonderful site.

I am William Lane, son of William Edward Lane and Clara Lucille Hayes, grandson of William Ross Lane and Effie Mildred Cochran. I have been browsing looking for family info.

I am the granddaughter of Marion Gregory Howard. She was the daughter of Marion Percy Howard and Maria Powell Gregory of the Hanover, Virginia area. My grandmother lived in Pineville, WV as a child and then Glen Rogers, WV when she was married. She married Walter Sidney Brooks and had two children, Sarah Sidney (who was my mother) and Marion Howard Brooks ( my uncle). She died in Beckley,WV and is buried in Sunset Memorial Gardens there.

I have noticed a few errors. I just recently submitted forms to the SAR and DAR - records had to be searched and proved. I can help correcting errors listed. "Howe, Hood, Montgomery"

Craig, The listing under Ethel Mae Hogue, has John Wood as her son. HE was actually the son of Ralls Wood's second marriage to Mildred Sitz. Also, the name "Nobel", Ethel Mae Hogue's second husband, is spelled, Noble. Thanks

Hi,
I am researching Rosborough genealogy and William Fletcher Rosborough M.D. was my grandfather's older brother and he also delivered my mother and her sister! Fletcher, as he was known, died Dec. 20, 1927, interned in Windsor, Alachua Co., FL. One of his daughters, Shirley Randolph Rosborough Blatt, B. Oct. 11, 1905, D. May 22, 2001. in Tavares, FL. cremation/no marker. I CAN Not find if Mary Peyton Randolph and Fletcher were married, if so where, when she died. If they were married did they divorce as he has a second wife in 1920 Census, Elizabeth Nesbit Rosborough, and I can't find any records for her either except the Census of 1920! I also can't find except the 1920 Census and a marriage license for Mary Millicent Rosborough Murphy. She married John Lee Murphy, June 8, 1927, Starke, Bradford Co.,FL. I know they lived in Ocala, Marion Co. FL,
their address was in my Mother's address book. I can't find a death record for her or her husband! This bunch and their mystery is driving me crazy! I was glad to see Mary Peyton Randolph's name here though when I Googled her yet again!
Well, I filled in some for you! Fletcher's parents were: John Alexander Rosborough 1842-1920 and Mary Eliza King Rosborough 1849-1920(?)both from Ridgeway, Fairfield Co. South Carolina.
Wish you luck!

Thanks. Very orderly easy to either scan
through or search.

Came upon your website, during a search.
Thanks for the comments, however you might want to change the page where you mention me. I am a "him", not a "her". Boots is a family nick, much beloved, bestowed on me by me grandparents at age 2, over a pair of cowboy boots given to me by my father.

I tried to give more info but got a guestbook error about invalid words.

re: previous message:
John Dunbar as son of Robert Dunbar.
Thanks

Love your website. Do you have any documentation re: Robert as fa of John.

So very excited to finally find some of the missing pieces to my family tree. Thank you for all of your hard work and documentation!

My mother Ardella Marie Carter who is listed on your site died in Merced,CA on Feb 6th 1999.

In 1967, my father, John Winthrop Randolph (I24081), died at age 60 in Birmingham, Alabama.

I was pleased to see the information you post on the ancestors and descendants of Sir/St. Thomas More.
I was also pleased to see your acknowledgment of your source as the document by Martin Wood (that's me) which you found on the site of the Centre for Thomas More Studies.
As a copyright document it was put on the internet by the Centre for Thomas More Studies with my express permission.
It would, I think, be much better if my book "The Family and Descendants of St. Thomas More" was put as your source, as it contains all the necessary documentation. My book was published in the UK by 'Gracewing', in 2008. It is based on ten years of research into the family and descendants of Sir/St. Thomas More and the families into which they married. My research was based on papers handed down in the family and on original documents from archives in England, France, and Italy.
Sadly, there are numerous errors and 'spurious pedigrees' relating to this line on some of the main internet genealogy sites, some of which give their 'errors' a high rating for accuracy.
Regards,
Martin Wood
