Just wanted to say how much I love your site and the information you've shared. I've worked on several other lines for many years, but I'm only starting to tackled the Farrar/Barnett ones. Thank you for your dedication to accuracy!

Was doing ancestry.com and Samuel Rust is in my family tree

Thomas Carter of “Barford” who married Catherine Dale died in 1700, so it is unlikely that he was the youngest son of Ancell Carter, born in 1591. Dollye McALister Elliot, associate editor of the Colonial Genealogist, researched the records in London and found Ancell Carter’s will. It listed his sons but none named Thomas. Sha also found Ancell’s son George’s will in which he lists all of his brothers with no mention of a Thomas. She then examined the original 1634 Visitation in London manuscript at the British Museum (which was the purported source of the list of family members that included Thomas) and found that, in fact, it did not list Thomas as a son of Anscell Carter.

Maria Minor DeJarnette Marshall was my great grandmother (father's side). Am looking for any images/photos of Maria Minor DeJarnette Marshall. Interesting website!

Thank you for your hard work!! I am doing a friends family tree and history. I've never hit more brick walls nor found so many errors in other trees!

What a fantastic genealogy study and website. It is obvious you have done a lot of outstanding research and work on this and is very well done.

Good research and will see if our lines intersect anywhere.

I am back to the early 1500s coming from the Earls of Dalhousie in Scotland, the Earls of Drogheda in Ireland and may be into some of the English royalty. Still proving relationships.

Keep up the great work !

I was working on my family line for grandbaby (and let face it, my own curiosity)and I stumbled on to your site. I was pleasantly surprised to find my great great grandfather on there. (John Jefferson Gaither) I have new descendant information. But I am new at this and I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

I descend from Abner Farrar, b 1768, d 1841 & Elizabeth Howard > Elizaberth Hoard Farrar 1792 & Sanford Gorham b 1784 Franklin, GA d 26 Feb 1859, Calhoun, GA> Jane Williamson Gorham b 2 Aug 1815 d18 May 1864 prob AL & James Warren McDow b 15 Nov 1814 d 9 Aug 1861 place unknown > Elizabeth Howard McDow 9 Jan 1845 GA died 22 Feb 1891 Van Zandt Cc, TX & Rev Henry L Smith (Methodist) b @ 1833 GA & d 1876 LA (after his death she married Dr William Alexander Allen) > Rev Samuel Angel Smith (Church of God) b 15 Jan 1867 LA died 28 Apr 1918 Point, Raines Co, TX & Ida Belle Carroll b @1867 AL died 1899 TX > Winnie Lee aka Lela Smith b 22 Jul 1895 Van Zandt Co, TX d 26 Mar 1953 Amarillo, Potter Co, TX & James "Oscar" Aylor b 3 May 1893 AL d jul 1963 Amarillo, TX > Cynthia "Lorene" Aylor June 28, 1916 Emory, Conroe Co, TX d April 25, 1983 Bellflower, Los Angeles Co, CA & Guy "Leslie" Fowler b 21 Aug 1914 Delaware, Logan Co, AR d 18 Feb 1994, Bellflower, L A Co, CA > me

I wondered if the Farrar's were also Methodist Presbyterian as I noticed a few Ministers?

Thank you for such a well researched site & I thought you may want to add the husband & descendants of Elizabeth Howard Farrer

Thanks again

This is my Grandmother Lillian Mae Griffith Rice B 9 Sept 1898 D 24 June 1977, she is a direct descendant of William Griffith and his wife Sarah McCubbin, so I guess we are related. The story was told in our family that William Griffith was hijacked while in London and brought to MD to work as a planter. My research has led me to he was from London, born in Wales, came to MD on a ship with 2 men who were paid to bring people to MD. After a number of years William was given land. Please see the website I have copied for you here: [www.bedinger.org] Anyway HI COUSINS!

I47638 Regarding Henry Baylis(s). His mother Jane Blackburn b. 1733 m. John Baylis in 1754. Henry was the 3rd of 5 children. Jane was the daughter of Col. Richard Blackburn and Mary Watts (Ashton)(Blackburn) of Rippon Lodge, Prince William Co., VA. Your chart shows Jane dying in 1765. Actually it was John Baylis b.1727 who died in 1765 while dueling. After his death, Jane remarried Cornelius Kincheloe. She d.1774. I offer for your further research, "The Baylis Family of Virginia," by Willetta Baylis Blum and William Blum, Sr., 1958 Shenandoah Publishing House, Inc., Strausburg, VA. This is a beautiful well thought out site.

I was doing some research in the area of Basina and Clovis I & stumbled onto your site. It looks like we may have some common relatives, with some being around the same timeframe that I was checking on (Clovis & Basina among others). It also appears there are others located around the "de Vere" surname and along those lines & times. Genealogy sure does turn up unexpected things, don't you agree?

Re: Paul Nelson Grymes (1899-1955)

I just found this site and genealogical information on Paul Nelson Grymes, son of John Randolph Grymes and his wife Roberta.

In case you are intersted, I have information on John Randolph Grymes, a pharmacist (1868-1944) and his wife Roberta Virginia (Garnhart) Grymes (her maiden name: Garnhart, 1869-1917.) I am a distant relative in one of the family lines of Roberta Virginia Garnhart.

Feel free to email me directly. I have posted the information Also, I have found so far in an Ancestry.com Public Family Tree, if you have an an Ancestry.com subscription: Knight and Ogden Families, Waupaca, Wis.

George Hughes and Rhoda Garrett Hughes are my third great grandparents. I notice that you have Rebecca listed as a daughter. She is not in the family Bible, but probably is a child of theirs. There was also a son named Jesse who isn't in the family Bible. Does anyone know the family history of any children other than William, Moses, Rebecca and Jesse? Thank you so much

I am daughter of Lawrence Roberdon Hoge Jr and have list of his children grandchildren and great grandson.

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.
