What's New

July 21, 2008 The 25 marker results for Frank James Markham are in, and he is an exact match with me. You can see this at:
http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/m/marcum/results.html

Well, the 37 markers results for Frank are in, and there are two mutations for 37 markers.

My 37 markers
13 23 14 10  11  16 12 12 11  13  13 29
17  9 10 11  11  26 14 19 29  15  15 17 18
11 11 19 22  15  14 16 17 36  36  12 12

Frank's 37 markers

17  9 10 11  11  26 14 19 29  15  15 17 18
11 11 19 22 [16] 14 16 17 36 [39] 12 12

I don't know what that means.

July 18, 2008 I just discovered the testimony of James M Barber online, thanks to the National Archives and http://www.footnote.com/. Unfortunately, the images are very large. If you print them out, they might be more readable. See Chapter 15

July 15, 2008 The 37 marker results for John (Jack) Wiley Barber are in, and they are here.

13 24 17 11 12 15 11 13 11 13 11 30
17  8  9 11 11 25 15 20 32 12 12 14 14
11 10 21 21 17 13 18 18 35 35 11 10

Jack is an exact match for 12 markers with Arthur Bud Barber II, Jimmie D. Barber, Charles Stephen Barber, and Donald Orville Barber. He is an exact match for 24 of 25 markers with Arthur Bud Barber II, Jimmie D. Barber, Charles Stephen Barber and Donald Orville Barber. He is an exact match for 35 of 37 markers with Arthur Bud Barber II, Jimmie D. Barber, and Charles Stephen Barber. He is an exact match for 34 or 37 markers with Donald Orville Barber.

The 67 marker results for Donald Orville Barber are in, and Don is an exact match for 36 of 37 markers with Arthur Bud Barber II, Jimmie D. Barber, and Charles Stephen Barber. He is an exact match for 34 of 37 markers with Jack Wiley Barber. No one else has tested for 67 markers, so we have no one to compare those with. Here are Don's 67 markers.

13 24 17 11 12 15 11 13 11 13 11 30
17  8  9 11 11 25 15 20 32 12 12 14 15

The haplogroup for all our Barbers is I2a.

July 13, 2008 Here is a picture of Donna and John Gingrich's house in Houston, Texas.

July 11, 2008 A lot of pictures of my sister's trip to Hawaii have been developed, and I have some of them posted here.

July 6, 2008 I have updated Chapter 16, thanks to my sister, Donna Gingrich, and my aunt, Leta Fyke.

June 29, 2008 I finally figured out how to use my scanner! So I scanned a picture of my sister, Donna Gingrich, and me at the Dole Plantation the past Tuesday.

David & Donna in Hawaii, June 24, 2008

June 28, 2008 After being homeless for 3 years in California and for 12 years in Hawaii, before finally getting a nice place to live, I am not used to people being overly generous. So I am truly touched to receive a letter from a distant cousin today, with a check for $100 enclosed. I have never met him, he lives in Georgia, but he heard my sister was out here on vacation, and he wanted to treat us to dinner. I am overwhelmed with this gesture.

June 27, 2008 The results for Khris Markham, a descendant of Rev. Anderson Markham, are in, and he is an exact match for 25 markers with SIX other people named Markham or Marcum. Some people are SO lucky!

Results are here:
http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/m/marcum/results.html

June 19, 2008 I have added a few links to the 1900 census of the Creek Nation. You can find the entire census here:

Creek Nation

June 16, 2008 I got my $300 tax rebate check today. Yea! This will really help when my sister comes to Hawaii for a vacation next week. I have not seen her in 22 years!

June 15, 2008 Frank James Markham just let me know that he is going to 37 markers. Yippee!

June 9, 2008 I have just heard from Diane Markham, who signed my guestbook. Hopefully, she will fill me in on her family.

June 5, 2008 I have just been notified by John (Jack) Wiley Barber that he is upgrading to 37 markers, and Don O. Barber has just told me that he is upgrading to 67 markers. WOW!

June 4, 2008 We have the results back, and Charles Stephen Barber is an exact match for 37 markers with Arthur Bud Barber II and Jimmie D. Barber, and is one marker off with Don O. Barber for 37 markers. This means that the probability that Jimmie D. Barber, Arthur Bud Barber II, and Charles Stephen Barber shared a common ancestor within the last 8 generations is 97.28%. Charles is a descendant of Moses Barber and Jimmie and Arthur are descendants of James Barber. It is highly likely that Moses and James are brothers, and we need to find their father.

Plus, the 12 marker results for my nephew, Kristoffer Scott Morgan are back, and he is an exact match with me. That makes sense. LOL

June 3, 2008 I am busily updating the Gray Barber family that Jim Wilson has sent me. You can see it at:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dmorgan/part2.html

Plus, Jim has sent me some photos of Barber graves at Harkey's Chapel Methodist Church cemetery in St. Clair County, Alabama, plus a picture of the sign at Harkey's Chapel.

June 2, 2008 I have heard from Jim Wilson, a great-grandson of Charlotte Barber. Her father was James S. Barber, and grandfather was Gray Barber. Hopefully, I will have the info on Charlotte and her husband John Wesley Fugitt soon.

Here is a photo of Charlotte and her husband, plus more pictures:

Tombstone of Charlotte Fugitt and John Wesley Fugitt:
fugitt.jpg (over 1 MB)

Plus, I have updated chapter 15 on the Wood family. It turns out that we are not descended from Charles Wood and his wife Sara Brightwell after all.

May 28, 2008 I have added on to Chapter 1, a section on Plyer Barber, brother of Captain George Barber, and a section on Sarah Barber who married Reese Watkins. Sarah was a sister of Captain George Barber.

May 27, 2008 We have the 37 marker results back for Jimmie D. Barber and Don O. Barber. Jimmie D. Barber, a descendant of Gray Barber, is an exact match with Arthur Bud Barber II, a descendant of Allen Barber. Don Barber is one marker off for 37 markers. That is not a big deal to have one or two mutations between father and son for 37 markers. We are still waiting for the 37 markers results of Charles Stephen Barber.

Kathleen Barber signed my guestbook! She is a descendant of Reese Barber, son of George and Margaret Watkins Barber. Hopefully, one of her brothers will agree to do the DNA test.

May 23, 2008 The results of Don O. Barber's DNA test for 25 markers is back, and he is an exact match with Arthur Bud Barber II, Jimmie D. Barber, and Charles Stephen Barber. So we are still waiting for the 37 marker results of Charles Stephen Barber.

May 21, 2008 The results of Jimmie Barber's DNA test for 25 markers is back, and he is an exact match with Arthur Bud Barber II, a descendant of Silas Harrison Barber, and Charles Stephen Barber, a descendant of Moses Barber. The results of his test for 37 markers should be back next week.

May 17, 2008 I have added a guestbook. I hope you will take advantage of it. I would like to hear about your family and ancestors. To view the posts others have made, just scroll down past the sign guestbook part.

May 15, 2008 At last! We have an exact match for 12 markers between a descendant of George Barber-Margaret Watkins and a descendant of Plyer Barber. Jerry Lynne Barber is a descendant of Dr. George Perry Barber; George Barber-Elizabeth Reynolds; George Barber-Margaret Watkins; and George Barber-Elizabeth. So, even though Dr. George Perry Barber said this in his genealogy, and I included it in my book, this is the first actual proof. So far, it is just for 12 markers, but Jerry Lynne already has his results for 37 markers, and I believe Ryan Barbour, a descendant of Plyer Barber and his parents George Barber-Elizabeth, has applied for his 37 marker test. Yippee!

May 8, 2008 I have now recieved information about the children of James Barber, and his will, and am substantially revising my book. I have added a chapter on James Barber, called Part II, Descendants of James and Penelope Barber. This info comes from Katherine Barber, whose husband is a descendant of Gray Barber.

May 7, 2008 Family Tree DNA has received the kit from Kris Morgan, so we should know his results in about a month. He is the son of my brother, Scott Barber Morgan. The results will appear on the Marcum- Markham page.

May 5, 2008 The Moses Barber family is here

May 4, 2008 Just when I think I have everything figured out, life shows me that I don't know what I am talking about. LOL. It turns out that Charles Stephen Barber is from a Barber line that I did not know about previously. His line of descent is from Moses Barber, born 1755-1760, died 1800, Chatham County North Carolina, married Elizabeth. That means that Moses is most likely a brother of my James Barber. I get a headache just thinking about it. Anyway, The descent from Moses is Zadock Barber, Wesley B. Barber, William S. Barber, Charles Y Barber, and Charles Stephen Barber, and his sister, Shirley Barber McDaniel.

May 3, 2008 We have an exact match with Charles Stephen Barber and Arthur Bud Barber II for 25 markers. This means there is a 85% probability of a common ancestor within 8 generations. I am not sure who Charles Stephen Barber is, but I assume he is a descendant of Stephen P. Barber, who was a descendant of Gray Barber, that I used to write to several years ago.

May 1, 2008 The results for Frank James Markham are back, and he and I are exact matches for 12 markers! Frank is a descendant of Nimrod Markham, who was born in 1818 in Tennessee and married in 1845 in Noxubee County, Mississippi. My John Bunyon Markham was born 1819 in Tennessee and married in 1843 in Noxubee County, Mississippi.

I would guess that the elder John Markham had the following sons:

James C. Markham, born 1807

Nimrod Markham, born 1818

John Bunyon Markham, born 1819

John and his family lived with the James C. Markham family in Bienville Parish, Louisiana in 1850, and James had a young son named Nimrod.

My theory is that the elder John Markham was a brother to Abner Markham and the son of William Markham. Hopefully, DNA will help us solve that.

April 25, 2008 After hearing from Dan Sullivan, I have decided that our James Barber, born 1763, was not the son of John Barber and Mary Allen of Anson County, North Carolina. John died in 1802, and gave his son James some land. James sold the land in 1818 and was thus still in Anson County. Our James was in Clarke County, GA by 1803. So I would say we need to search elsewhere for our James.

Subject: Re: James Barber?

David,
You got me intrigued and I went ahead and did some checking.  James
Barber son of John Barber, d. 1802, sold the land he inherited in
1818-see below. I found my copy of the deed (I got lucky and found it
in a few minutes-you should see my files!)   In the deed it says that
both James Barber and John Studivant were residents of Anson County
when the deed was signed.  So it looks like this James was still in
Anson in 1818.

April 21, 2008 I have added two biographical sketches to Chapter 12. One is on Wiley Crawford Barber, and the other one is supposedly on his son James Russell Barber, but most of it focuses on Wiley. I thought I had lost these articles years ago, as I did not find them until after my book was published in 1975. But I just discovered that I had donated them to the Oconee County, GA USGenWeb page and to the Polk County, GA archives. So they weren't lost after all, just misplaced.

April 20, 2008 I have updated info for Gray Barber, in Chapter 11.

April 19, 2008 Wow, what a surprise! Don Barber has tested his DNA and is an exact match with my three other cousins. I have been trying to contact him for months but did not have his current address. He is a direct descendant of Joshua Heard Barber, the son of James M. Barber, the brother of Wiley Crawford Barber and Silas Harrison Barber. Joshua was raised by Wiley after James died in 1855. Thanks to Don, I have updated Chapter 11.

April 18, 2008 I updated Chapter 8 on the Hambrick and Barron families. The Hambrick info comes from Mrs. Porter, a descendant, and the Barron info comes from Joe Barron's web site, a descendant.

April 13, 2008 My nephew, Kristoffer Scott Morgan, has agreed to do a DNA test. So he should receive the test this week.

April 10, 2008 This DNA stuff never ceases to amaze. Ryan Barbour, a descendant of Plyer Barber, is an exact match with Kelvin Barber of England! Kelvin traces his family back to William Barber, born 1804, in England. I don't have any answers for this!

April 4, 2008 I just received an update from my nephew, Kris Morgan. Wow! His new information is in Chapter 16.

April 3, 2008 I have received the results of both Ryan Barbour and Khris Markham, and have negative results on both.

First, Ryan Barbour is a descendant of Plyer Barber, who was a son of George Barber and his wife Elizabeth of Craig's Creek, Augusta County, Virginia. Plyer was a brother of George Barber, who married Margaret Watkins and went to Wilkes-Ogelthorpe County, Georgia and fought in the American Revolution.

Ryan's results prove that Plyer Barber and his family are not related to my family, that of James Barber and his wife Penelope of Clarke County, Georgia.

Khris Markham is a descendant of Rev. Anderson Markham, born 1816, White County, Tennessee. His results prove that Anderson was not related to my ancestor, John Bunyon Markham, who was born 1819, we think in White County, Tennessee.

April 2, 2008 I have found some sad news for my family. I have found four newspaper articles about the murder of my niece, April Marie (Slaymaker) Eaves in 1989. The articles are:

June 23, 1989, Houston Chronicle

June 23, 1989, Houston Chronicle, 2nd article

June 24, 1989, Houston Chronicle

June 27, 1989, Houston Chronicle

The killing has never been solved.

April 1, 2008 Frank Markham's kit was received by Family Tree DNA today. So it will be about six weeks before the results are back. Frank is a descendant of Nimrod Markham, who I think is a brother of John Bunyon Markham.

March 6, 2008 Khris Markham's kit was received by Family Tree DNA yesterday. So we should have his results about April 4. Hopefully, he will be an exact match with me. Khris is a descendant of Anderson Markham, who was possibly a brother of my ancestor, John Bunyon Markham.

March 4, 2008 Here is an update on Bassett.

This comes from the web page of Carol Rhead Tessen. She says her web site 
will come down on March 12, 2008, so if anyone wants it, make a copy. So 
here is my copy. Carol's e-mail is tessenc@comcast.net
 

Bassett Ancestors

I wanted to pull my hair out when I started researching my Bassett
ancestors!  There are so many Bassett's named Thomas and William and
it gets very confusing trying to sort them all out.  Actually I
haven't sorted them out and am desperate for some assistance.  What I
have found is that Thomas Bassett arrived in America in 1635 via the
ship Truelove.  I don't know if he was the first Bassett (in my line)
in this country or what his relationship is to the Massachusetts
Bassett's.

I found the following information regarding two William Bassett's in:

    Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I

I'm not sure how these two men work into the Bassett's I have listed
so I'm putting them here.  Can anyone give me more information on
these two Williams?

 

Name: William Bassett, son of William Bassett, "yeoman," of Newport,
in Isle of Wight, England, had seen military service; came to
Virginia prior to 1665, when he was made commander of the workmen
employed in building a fort at Jamestown; was paid 10,000 pounds of
tobacco for his services; acquired a large estate, and died in 1672,
leaving a son, William Bassett, of "Eltham," New Kent county, member
of the council, by Bridget Cary, daughter of Capt. Miles Cary.
 

Name: William Bassett, of "Eltham," New Kent county, Virginia, was
son of Col. William Bassett and Joanna Burwell, his wife; was member
of the assembly of 1742-1747, but died in 1744, before the
termination thereof. He married Elizabeth Churchill, daughter of Col.
William Churchill, and was father of Burwell Bassett (q. v.).

 

Name: William Bassett
of "Eltham," New Kent county, was a son of Capt. William Bassett of
the same county and was born in 1670. He was a member of the house of
burgesses from New Kent in 1692, 1696, 1702 and probably in the
intervening years. On May 22, 1702, Edmund Jennings and John
Lightfoot certified that Col. William Bassett, who was elected
burgess for New Kent, "was tendered the oaths for burgess and
returned the following answer, 'I have already in several
qualifications testified my allegiance to King William's government
by taking the oaths &c.; but I am now informed, and fully satisfied
that he is dead, and therefore I think myself obliged both in
prudence and conscience to decline taking ye oaths to him at this
time.'" On May 14, 1702, the Queen appointed him a member of the
council of Virginia and he was present at sessions of that body until
April 15, 1708. Within a few years Bassett desired to retire from the
council and wrote to England to that effect, stating that neither his
health nor his private affairs would permit him to attend. This,
after some delay, was granted, but Bassett seems to have made too
high a record as an official to be allowed to remain long in
retirement, and in 1711, he was returned to the council, but declined
to accept as he was not restored to his former position in that body.
On March 11, 1714-15, he was again included in a commission to the
councilors and this time took his seat, attending regularly the
sessions until his death in 1723.

Notes for THOMAS BASSETT

Because he was a British Royalist, he fled the Patriots of Georgia
about 1768 and went to the interior of the British West Florida
Territory where he received two British Grants totaling 1,850 acres. 
After the Revolutionary War, THOMAS and his brother, NATHANIEL, swore
an allegiance to the Spanish Crown and obtained Spanish Warrants for
the land previously conveyed by British Grant.  He was murdered by
Indians along the creek which bears his name. 

 

Children of THOMAS BASSETT and LUCY are:

i.

NATHANIEL BASSETT, b. 1761; d. 1803  (never had children)

ii.

THOMAS BASSETT, b. 1762; m. SARAH CLEVELAND

 

 

 

ELIZABETH BASSETT marries ALLEN BURTON and consequently is the last
BASSETT ancestor I have.  Therefore, I haven't pursued the BASSETT
family beyond Generation No. 6.

I didn't know if any of the remaining family would be interested or who to
contact, I only saw your name on rootsweb.

Daniel Boone Smith and Mary Isabelle Berryhill's son CLARENCE NAPOLEON SMITH
died 6/27/1995 in Pawhuska, OK and is buried there.  Between 1926-1928 he
married GRACE OLINE CAPPS.  (Rootsweb had her as Aline)  She was always
called Oline.  She was born 8/21/1906 in Indian Territory between Porter and
Clarksville, OK to Andy Capps and Minnie Bell Welch.  She went to college
and was a teacher a short while in the Haskell & Boynton area.  She divorced
Clarence in 1936.  
She died 10/12/1999 in Owasso and is buried at Floral Haven in the veteran's
section as she served in the Army in WWII

Thank you for listening to me.  If you know of any family who would be
interested or how I might find out, let me know.

Sincerely,

February 28, 2008 I will looking for Ryan Barbour's DNA results around March 26. So it won't be long now.

February 27, 2008 Just got back the results for Jimmie D. Barber, a descendant of James Barber through his son Gray Barber, and his DNA results are an exact match with Arthur B. Barber and John (Jack) Wiley Barber, who are descendants of James Barber's son Allen Barber.

Plus, Family Tree DNA has received the kit from Ryan Barbour, so we should know those results in a few weeks. His kit number is 114353.

February 26, 2008 Ryan Barbour has updated my info on Plyer Barber.

plyer.txt

Plus, Ryan sent me a link to the Rehobeth Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Johnson County, which is where a lot of the Barbers are buried

http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/561086207UReijQ

for Rehobeth Primitive Baptist Church in Johnston County.

It's on Raleigh Road which is historical for some Civil War history as well in the area. I live only about 5 miles from there. My dad also has a map that shows the graves of some of the Barbers, supposedly Plyer Sr. and Amy Barber Jones, daughter of Plyer. I will check it out; I need to make a better map and one I can email if it works out.

February 24, 2008 We have the DNA results back for Arthur Bud Barber II and for Jack Wiley Barber. They are an exact match for the first 12 markers. The haplogroup and numbers are

I1b 13-24-17-11-12-15-11-13-11-13-11-30

The bad news is that they didn't match anybody else that had already been tested. So, we just have to test more folks. LOL

Jimmie D Barber has also tested. We expected him to be an exact match with Arthur and Jack. We should know in a few days.

Also, Ryan Barbour has tested and sent his test back on February 21. So it may be six weeks before he gets his results. Ryan is a descendant of Plyer Barber of Johnston County, North Carolina, the brother of Captain George Barber of Georgia and the son of George Barber-Elizabeth of Craig's Creek, Augusta County, Virginia.

I sincerely hope that Ryan will be an exact match with Arthur and Jack. That would prove that my James Barber-Penelope is related to the family of George Barber-Margret Watkins that I worked so hard on in the 1970s, and to the family of Plyer Barber and their parents George and Elizabeth Barber of Craig's Creek, Augusta County, Virginia.

February 7, 2008 Three descendants of James Barber and his wife Penelope have agreed to participate in the DNA project. They are: Arthur Bud Barber II, a descendant of James Monroe Barber, Silas Harrison Barber and Allen Barber; John (Jack) Wiley Barber, a descendant of John Huntington Barber, Wiley Crawford Barber and Allen Barber; Jimmie D Barber, a descendant of Gray Barber, who was a brother of Allen Barber. We hope to have those results back by the end of February or the middle of March. Keep looking at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/barber/

John (Jack) Wiley Barber has updated my book on the John Huntington Barber family and some of his kin in Chapter 12. Thanks!

most recently).  Please accept my apologies if there is someone new I
should contact, in which case I would appreciate any forwarding
information you may have.
 
Hello David,
 
I hope this message finds you.  I don't know how we may be related but I
see your name in many of the Web sites I've been searching and there's a
small error I would like to correct.   I'm a great-great-great
grandaughter of John Bunyon Markham, Jr. (died 1856 in Louisiana).  My
mother is Betty Poteet Zimmerman, daughter of Mattie Bell Markham, who
was the daughter of John Bunyon Markham (Eula Inez), who was the son of
James Monroe Markham (Nannie Bell), who was the son of John Bunyon
Markham, Jr. (Sarah Upshaw).

David, Eddie sent me a copy of the funeral program for Juanita Roberts
Wheeler, Aunt Willie's daughter.  So I'm going to try to put together an
obituary for you to post.
 
Juanita Roberts Wheeler was born April 25, 1921 in Enid, Oklahoma to Levy
Patterson Roberts and Willie Morgan Roberts.  She married Paul L. Wheeler
on May 3, 1941.  She died on September 11, 2002.
She is survived by two daughters, Kaye Glazener and husband Clyde
Glazener; Mary Jane Mendenhall and her husband Larry Mendenhall; seven
grandchildren, and ten great grandchildren; and her sister Elsie Johnson
of Enid.  She also left behind many nephews, nieces, and other relatives.
She was preceded in death by husband Paul; brothers Barney Roberts, Earl
Roberts, Fred J. Roberts, and parents.
Her funeral was held on September 16, 2002 at the First Baptist Church in
Enid, Oklahoma, Clyde Glazener officiating.
 
David, without a copy of the obituary that appeared in the paper this is
the best I can do using the funeral program.  I told Elsie that I would
let them know where to find it on Internet or e-mail if you post it. 
Thanks David.

February 7, 2002: Here is a picture of Tabitha Markham and her husband, Thomas Jefferson Johnson. Tabitha was a sister of James Monroe Markham. They were married 8/20/1868 in Bell county, TX, according to Betty, a descendant.

T.J. and Tabitha (350 kb) The writing on the bottom of the picture says "Thomas Jefferson Johnson, b. 6/17/1844 Butler Co. OH, d. 1/28/1924 Tulia Texas - Tabitha Markham Johnson, b. 12/21/1855, Union Parish LA, d. 2/2/1897, Summer Mill, Bell CO. TX. I think Tabitha was 2 or 3 years olders than that.

I need to add this marriage record from Bienville Parish, and this fragment of the 1850 Census of Bienville Parish.

Historical Marker:
     Family History of R. T. Barber
                  U. S. Marshal
     R. T. Barber, was 1/2 Creek Indian, whose mother's name was Posey.  He 
married Alice Grimsley. She had originally married a man named BEAR. By him 
she had two children, Myrtle and Tom. Myrtle was raised by R. T. Barber as 
his own. Since she had no Indian blood she received no allotment. R. T. 
Barber gave her 1/2 of his allotment, which was on the east side of the large 
Twin Mound on the North. R. T. and Alice had seven other children, Shelley, 
Dovie, Pearl, Lulu, Nettie, John, and Walter.
     Shelley married Sam Griffith. They had two children, Howard and Earl. 
Dovie married Steve Horner. They had seven children, Bertha, Lena, Edna, 
Lola, Dale, Robert and Lois. Pearl married Robert "Bob" Stewart. They had 
three girls, Dovie, Myrtle, and Ima Jean. Then she married Floyd Jones. They 
had one daughter, Velva. Lula Barber married Jim Huston. They had three 
children, Sammy, Ray and Mary. Nettie Barber married William "Bill" Coleman 
by whom she had three children, Alice
Dolly, and Gladys, known as "Shortie". Then she married Jim Henson and they 
had four children. John Barber married Cora, they had five children, Johnny, 
Paul, Vida, Gert and Goldie. Myrtle "Bear" Barber married Andrew Stewart. She 
was commonly known as "Aunt Myrt". They had eight children, Shelley, Tom, 
Bill, Jim, El, Leora, and Robie and one child that died as an infant. 
     The allotments of R. T. Barber and his children stretched from the Twin 
Mounds to Peoria Ave. along 141st. The city of Glenpool sits on the Pearl 
Barber Jones allotment. Four of Steve and Dovie Horners children still live 
on the original Creek Indian allotment between Glenpool and the four laned 
Highway 67.

Will go back and try to find the others you asked for. Shelley Barber 
Griffith is there I know. I also think we will find a lot of R.T. Barber's 
offspring around there. It was getting late and I wasn't able to continue. I 
did get photos of the above.
    You asked about "Dump" Berryhill. He was Bluford Berryhill, father of 
Bluford, Carl C. and George F. Berryhill. This is according to a historical 
marker in the cemetery.

September 28, 1999: Can anybody help on the marriage of Burwell H. Hambrick to Elizabeth Barber, daughter of George Barber Jr - Elizabeth Reynolds? I just got a letter from Ike Porter and I realize I don't have any proof for this marriage. This info came from a family member over 25 years ago, but I can't remember who. Perhaps Mrs. H.D. White who lived in Kearns, Utah, or from Mrs. Dennison's article in the DAR Magazine of 1959, I just can't remember now.

Subject: Burwell H. Hambrick/Elizabeth Barber

 Burwell/Berrell/Burrell H. Hambrick, b. ca1810,  d. 1868, last resided
in Van Zandt County, TX , was my G-G-G-Grandfather. I know from Census
records that his wife was Elizabeth but I had no idea of her Surname
until now. Needless to say I was thrilled to find this info on the
Barber website. I am very interested in your supposition/statement found
in Chapter 8 that she is the daughter of George Barber. I read the
Barber Wills, Bible Records etc but found no other mention of Elizabeth.
Is there circumstantial evidence or documentation to support her
marriage and  parents?
Burwell's first son (my ancestor) was named George B. I had always
thought the "B."  was for Burwell. If Elizabeth's father was George
Barber then it would be logical that Burwell's son was George Barber and
not George Burwell.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated as I have been
working on Burwell's wife for twenty plus years now.
Thanks!!!

June 25, 1999: Just moved into our new home at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~dmorgan/ . Hopefully, this will be more stable.

April 5, 1999: Wow, I can't believe Shellie Barber Griffith was alive until a few months ago. Here is a letter I just got

Hi David:

Long time no talk to. Happy Easter...hope you and yours are well. I think
about you lots but not much time to write or research this year. I had
some time and went surfing today and guess what. Maybe you already know
about this but I can't believe she was still living just a few months
ago. I am going to write to Chief Perry Beaver and ask if they can put us
in contact with any relatives to see about where ahe may be buried, etc.

God Bless and keep.

February 20, 1999: Here is a report I got from Rootsweb today on the surnames Absher/Abshire, Brandon, Durham, Gillespie, Hollis, Travelstead, Wood. I think that is all. It is dated December and it is huge. Billy Curry Steely sent me a huge amount of data on the Brandon family that I haven't had time to digest yet. For the past 25 years, I thought my ancestor, George Brandon, grandfather of Mary Ann McGuire that married Isaac Gillespie in 1791, Rowan Co NC, was born in 1702 in Scotland. Wrong! He was born in Pennsylvania!

February 13, 1999: Here is a report I got from Rootsweb back in December about researchers and about info in their database on the surnames Barber, Bassett, Berryhill, Markham, Posey. It is a huge file and I just now took the time to look through it. Enjoy!

February 12, 1999: I have added a lot on the Wood family, thanks to Jack Wood. Calvin Dorris also has a great web site on Wood. Plus I have been adding a lot of material to chapter19 on Harris Berryhill, the son of Pleasant Berryhill, who married Hulda Gossett, thanks to Sandra Barton. I find it hard to accept that someone that was born the same year as me has a user ID of GrannyBart. That sounds old!

February 2, 1999: Welcome, Wayne Stockton! It was great to see your name on the Posey forum today! I sure appreciate all those Indian applications you had back in 1973. I have added a lot more to chapter 19 since then. You might want to take a look. To continue with the routine news: I have added some hot links to chapter 16, to obituaries for my family: Leta Hollis Barber, Sue Barber Morgan, and uncle George Fyke.

January 27, 1999: Okay, I finally figured out what year this is. This site is now searchable!

January 10, 1999: If you are reading this, then you must have found the new location of this page at http://www.nyx.net/~damorgan/. Hopefully, it will be more accessible than it was on the xoom site.

January 5, 1999: I now have a mail list set up for the Bassett surname. I am the listowner of this one. The instructions to subscribe are the same as for Berryhill below. I also have five GenConnect boards set up for the surname Bassett. If you have a will, Bible records, obit for any one named Bassett, or just want top ost on the query board, there is a place at http://www.efn.org/~dmorgan/bassett.html I also have GenConnect boards for the surname Hollis which will be soon on this web site.

December 27, 1998: There is now a mail list for the Berryhill surname. It doesn't belong to me, I just subscribed to it. To subscribe, send an e-mail to BERRYHILL-L-request@rootsweb.com with the one word, subscribe, in the BODY of the message. The Subject: line will be ignored. After you have subscribed, you can then send messages to the list by sending them to BERRYHILL-L@rootsweb.com. I didn't know there was already a mailing list for POSEY. To subscribe, send an e-mail to POSEY-L-request@rootsweb.com. There is a GenConnect Query Board available for the surname Posey and Coker. Well heck, I'll just give you the URL for the surname boards, and you can go look for yourself, at http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/indx/FamAssoc.html

December 21, 1998: Thanks to Eve Weeks, I have new information on Mary T. Conger, the third wife of Greensby Wetherford Barber. I had incorrectly stated that she was a MRS. Eve gave me a rundown of the whole family. I want to wish best wishes to Jim Reynolds, a new e-mail friend, who just got out of the hospital. Jim is a descendant of both Reese Barber and his brother Robert Barber. Jim is descended from John S. Barber-Nora Gray. John was the son of Greensby Wetherford Barber by his marriage to his first wife and first cousin, Frances Barber. So there are some updates to chapter 5. Last but not least, if you are descended from Reese Watkins, check out Yancy Watkins' new web site.

November 28, 1998: I have been working on this file for a long time, trying to get it in a readable format. I think I have most of it done. I will keep working on it. It is the ancestry of William Commodore Hollis, who married Mary Myrtle Barber, sister of my grandfather, Davis D. Barber. Thanks to Richard Dean Hollis, who did the search and shares a common ancestry with W.C. Hollis, that of the first two James Hollis's in the line, this line goes back six generations from W. C. Hollis! This updates Chapter 15 of my Barber book.

November 25, 1998: Happy Thanksgiving! Keith Hudson has sent me some interesting info about his connection to the Berryhill family through the Hudson family.

November 20, 1998: I have made corrections to the Posey-Hopwood-Smith Bible at the end of Chapter 17, thanks to Heidi Smith. If anybody else has a photocopy of this Bible and wants to take a shot at corrections, please do so. I just typed up the will of John McGuire, who died in Sumner county Tennessee in 1803. He was the son of John McGuire Sr-Mary Brandon of Rowan county NC and the father-in-law of Isaac Gillespie.

November 18, 1998: Thanks to Bruce Berryhill, a descendant of John Dallas Berryhill, I know a lot more about Benjamin Posey! I also typed up the will of Isaac Gillespie, who died in Williamson County Tennessee in 1828. He was the father of my Lydia Durham, and the son of Thomas and Naomi Thompson Gillespie.

November 7, 1998: I have typed up the abstract of the Thyatira Presbyterian Church Cemetery of Rowan County, North Carolina and also the will of Thomas Gillespie Sr, who died in 1796. Thomas and his wife Naomi both died on the same day. They are my ancestors and also the great-grandparents of James Knox Polk.

October 4, 1998: Here is the 1900 Soundex for the surname BARBER for Indian Territory. My great grandfather, James M. Barber, is listed as white, and two of his brothers, Robert T. Barber and Benjamin A. Barber, are listed as Indian. They were all living in the Creek Nation, Robert and Benjamin near Mounds and James near Wagoner. SIlas H. Barber is living with his oldest son Robert in this census.

October 4, 1998: Thanks to an e-mail friend in Waco, Tx, that sent it to me via snail mail, I now have the Post Oak Cemetery online. This cemetery is in Bell County, Texas, where much of my Markham family is buried, and also some of the Upshaws. Here is a very short newspaper article about the stabbing death of my great-great grandfather, John B. Markham in Minden Louisiana in 1856.

September 26, 1998: Here is additional info on Plyer Barber, thanks to Arlene Lewis.

September 3, 1998: I have updated Chapter 19, thanks to Candace Mullins, who is a descendant of Baxter Self and Suky Berryhill.

September 3, 1998: I've just received another excerpt from the book Blood on the Bluebonnets by Bill Lehmann. Thanks Bill!

September 2, 1998: I've just received new information on the children of Bill Posey, ( chapter 18 ) from Bill Lehmann. Lehmann wrote the book, "Blood on the Bluebonnets" published in 1994. Here is the new information.

August 19, 1998: I've just taken over as the coordinator/webmaster for Limestone County, Texas, a very important place for my Barber, Posey families.

August 16, 1998: The newest addition to chapter 14, and the newest cousin in the Barber family is Alexandra Nicole Key, a new native of Florida. Grandmother Betty Sue is overjoyed.

August 9, 1998: I added a link to the discussion on Jeremiah Posey that is taking place on GenForum, to Chapter 9. It turns out that Jeremiah was the son of William C. Posey and wife Agnes of South Carolina, and that Jeremiah and his brother married sisters in Benton County Alabama. This was before Jeremiah married Eliza Franklin in Nacogdoches County, Texas. So this is a different Posey family from Benjamin Posey.

August 7, 1998: I am typing in some correspondence I received from Richard M. Rodgers of Georgia. It will be an addition to Chapter 19 on the Posey and Berryhill families.

July 30, 1998: I have just typed in the Posey-Hopwood-Smith Bible, published in 1832, that is now owned by Heidi Smith. This replaces the Posey Bible that was in Chapter 17 of my book. I am not sure I have translated it correctly, some of it was extremely hard to read.

July 27, 1998: I am in the process of typing in the Creek Indian Letters that mention a Derrisaw (many different spellings) or were witnessed by a Derrisaw or a Berryhill. The Derrisaws and Berryhills were allies of William McIntosh, who was murdered in 1825 for signing the Treaty of Indian Springs, givng more land to the State of Georgia. The Derrisaws mentioned in these letters are Creek Chiefs, and the sons of James Durouzeaux, who was an interpreter for the Creeks and lived in the Creek Nation with his Creek wife. The letters are at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwnar/creekletters.html. The letters were originally abstracted by Thelma Nolen Cornfeld.

July 26, 1998: I now have information that my Berryhill line goes like this:
Alexander Berryhill- Lady Jane Cartwright
-- John Berryhill - Martha Bigness
---- Joseph Berryhill - Hanna (Creek) (both lived & died NC)
------ John Berryhill - Martha Elizabeth Derrisaw
Much thanks to Ken Berryhill for the info!

July 25, 1998: Thanks to Jere Fletcher, I now have some information on Plyer Barber and his descendants. Link added to Chapter 1

I just received a ton of information on my Gillespie family. I am descended from Thomas Gillespie and his wife Naomi Thompson on my father's side of the family, and I joined the Sons of the American Revolution in 1973 because of Thomas's service in the American Revolution. His son Isaac, also my ancestor, also fought in the Revolution. Lydia Gillespie, a daughter of Thomas and Naomi Gillespie, was the grandmother of President James Knox Polk.
