bullet  General Notes:

Diane,
I was glad to receive your post today since your addy was lost to me when I changed computers... in fact everything I had on it was lost when it went belly up.

And, you have probably forgotten, but Grams' genealogy papers were mostly lost in a Tulsa flood back in 1975. I recopied what little I had... in some cases just bits and pieces of names... These were stored at our lake house (about 75 miles from our "now" home) and packed away among some 200 boxes from fourteen years ago when we started remodeling the cabin.

In '89 my brother came home to die... then my mom had a very bad stroke... and we had to leave our project at the lake and move to Bartlesville. After my brother, and then mom died, we had to help raise our grandchildren... three baby girls. The project at the lake was a long forgotten dream, and I got to the point that I just couldn't mentally go over there... then, some burglars got in the cabin recently and created holy havoc going through everything... and I was more or less forced to go. Besides them taking some very expensive items, old photos were strung all over the floor... some had even been used to start a fire upstairs on the floor.

Grams' papers were not the original from Catherine, as those were lost in a house fire back in the late '20s in Texarkana. Then, in the '40s a lady genealogist (? ~ ha) visited Grams and told her that Hardy's father, Catherine's father-in-law, had deserted his spouse... and made her a "grass widow".... Grams told her "no, he had died in the 1840s" ~ needless to say Grams was extremely upset after this lady left... yammered to herself quite a bit about how wrong the lady had been... I merely asked the meaning of "grass widow"... and that got us started... she spent the time to reconstruct, and these were the papers mostly lost in the 1975 flood.

I'm telling you more than your interest, I realize. However, after mom had her stroke in 1993, her memories from childhood were retained, but not what she had done that very day an hour or two before. She was half blind and could no longer read without a glass and would get extremely frustrated. She started talking about a plantation somewhere back in time... and that was what got us started again on her family history and I made some notes, a lot of which were/are simply old stories about things that happened when she was a girl on the farm and things from the past.

When I got my computer back in '98 all I had to go on were mom's and my notes here at the house in B'ville... which included the Salem witch trials... Catherine burying her son during the Civil War... the Jack DANIEL (distillery) connection... Catherine's double weddings (Madison and Jackson counties) and these are absolutes, because I remember from Grams' lore and also found in the notes I had recopied, and stored at the lake house.

Earlier, my elderly cousin, Nona, had thrown in the French connection, plus the fact that Catherine had relatives in Louisiana... plus, someone in the family had helped survey the Louisiana Purchase (early 1800s)... she and mom both agreed on these things... and which I now cannot connect. I know from the "web" that a Mary Ann (think that's the name) CLAMPITT married a (George~?) EDDINS in East Felencia Parish Louisiana in early 1800s and she ended up in Madison County, Alabama ~ where Mathias was living before he died... who she was, I do not know... but bound to be connected somewhere. So far, this is the only "perhaps" Louisiana connection I've found that was not originally known.

As far as Catherine's brother, George, is concerned, I knew he had been near my Boone relatives in the northwest corner of Louisiana and had been a preacher... I just didn't know "which" brother. As to your Calvin... Grams had him listed simply as Caleb. Suppose he was Calvin Caleb or visa versa?

Back in '98 when I got my first computer, I corresponded with some people... some of whom were very, very nasty about some of my information and comments... so I just shut up real quick... I found it easier to play dumb and ask dumb questions on line. Today, I'm seeing more and more fouled up family trees being promoted on line that I've just about lost all confidence in the program of "on line" genealogy assistance... and some of this I must pay for to even read... which makes it even worse, in my opinion.

What I sent you today... I had finally posted on the TURPIN board at Genforum because those researchers all seem to be quite congenial. And, I did it because I cannot figure where, or if, Catherine LOVE came into the picture regarding our Solomon TURPIN. She was not mentioned in anything I have.

Several months ago, I finally sent Gray Harmon a note about the fact that our MASTENs were not Dutch, and came from John MARSTON in Mass. She never answered me back, but I see she has now changed Sarah TURPEN who married John MASTEN to "MRS" and deleted any reference to Solomon TURPIN. The DUTCH connection is still there. And, I'm sorry she took this attitude, because she is wrong... especially regarding the MASTENs being DUTCH...

I must ask you, does it seem logical that in one single generation back in the early 1700s that any Dutch MASTENs would go from Dutch christian names abruptly to English names? Not to me. As to the witch trials... how would Grams, Mom and Nona have known that a grandmother of Catherine's was accused, not hung, and only fined?

Well, guess I've yammered enough... please use what I sent as a guideline, as it was intended to be.

Annie

"NOTE: Diane, the Beauchamp and Dixon names came from my Grams' records of which the information came from Catherine CLAMPET, your grandfather's sibling."

I should have added these: MASON (with Symon MASON) CHAMBERS, HEATH, TULLY (not TULL), BAIN, OSBORN, CANNON, HARPER and of course the IVY name were also from Grams.

Diane, It was more my understanding that the SA(U)NDERS were the ones that had the Indian blood, and Catherine hid that fact with the "French" excuse; however, she did have dark olive skin also... which really may have been from French ancestors... I just don't see her as full-blood French as she claimed. And, Since you're talking about WINDER names... I copied this over to you below... thought you would find interesting... and maybe another name connection. Remember, these families pretty well stuck together before the Civil War... I wouldn't bet against your WINDERs leading back to the one that married William TURPIN and Margaret IVY/IVORY in some way. I'll answer your other mail tomorrow... right now I have my granddaughter (10) here ~ and daddy wants me to wash her hair before returning home... (just what I can't wait to do <g>) Also, in my speed, I wrote earlier the name OSBORN.... it was OSGOOD... both these names are in my past and I keep getting them confused... old age brain cramps, ya know. (John Marston + Mary OSGOOD) Sorry. Annie
