Hello all,
I have just gotten home from Virginia, a couple of hours ago. This was a very
special trip for me, and I wanted to share the reason why with you all.
Monday or Tuesday of last week, I had gotten a phone call from my sister in law,
Cindy Bishop, who lives about 2 hours away from the former Wurzburger property
where Hans Johannes Bischoff is buried. She told me that she had been able to
contact Mrs. Neva Wurzburger's son, and he was willing to meet her out at the
property on Saturday afternoon to help pinpoint the grave locations as he
remembered them, and gave her permission, (as well as the current owner) to
place crosses to mark the burial places.
Well, you all know me. I couldn't say no, even in this time of hardship. So, Jim
and I threw together a couple of bags, and managed to secure a 'do-able' deal on
motel rooms, and off we went.
I have created a folder and uploaded about 30 pictures I took that afternoon in
it. It was a memorable, almost historic event for us, and I hope you all feel
the same. Never before has anyone been able to get these grave locations marked,
since the old stone (or rock) markers were bush-hogged over many years ago.
Now, I realize that the dates for John are not quite right. I am not sure, but I
believe that my sister-in-law Cindy was going on dates the two of us had guessed
at several years ago, long before I did the timeline, and we pinpointed a much
more accurate death time period for John. However, by the time Jim and I got
there on Saturday morning, of course, the crosses had already been made, and
there was no turning back. I so deeply appreciate the time and trouble that Ted
and Cindy, and their sons Scott and Nathanial Bishop took to do this. It means
so much.
If you are wondering about how we determined the grave location, feel free to
write me at Nancye1962@... or reply here on the group. I have the scan of
the letter from Mrs. Wurzburger sent to us years ago, as well as the explanatory
picture. (Both are here on site as well,  in the pictures portion.) Also, you
can refer to a book written by Elza Cox, (whom I have also spoken with in
person) about the graveyards of Floyd County. It was first mentioned there, and
throughout the years, many other various descendants have also verified that the
grave locations and who was in them are correct.

I am compiling some other notes from this trip, and when I have them finished,
I'll be posting those here too.
I hope you all enjoy the photos.

We have several choices in this situation.  ( 1 ) Don't buy the country singers
music who are against mountaintop mining. ( 2 ) Call, write or email your tv and
radio stations and ask them to not play the music of these ENEMIES of ours. 
When i was in the military people were considered either a friend or enemy. If
you are not for us you are a ENEMY . Thats as simple as 1+1= 2. Thats not very
hard to calculate.   ( 3 ) Request all retailers to not sell the music of these
singers who are against mountaintop removal.   the singers in this  list are
against you and your children.  ENEMY LIST--emmylou harris,randy travis,big
kenny alphin,dierks bentley,delbort mcclinton,kid rock,j d souther,sherl
crow,kathy mattea, gloriana,james otto,matraca berg,jeff hannit,michelle branch,
and patty griffin.  I have seen and heard a lot in my 65 years on this earth but
in the last year our Appalachian people have been under fire from all corners of
the United States Of America. We have been put down many times before  but not
as bad as this day and time.    diane sawyer, obama, epa, corps of engineers,
dr.oz show, many gov. agencys, and now that bunch of country music singers
listed above are your ENEMIES. These people could care less about you and your
wife,children and the rest of your family.   We can be thankful that our local
leaders and KY. LT. Governor Daniel Mongiardo are in support of all coal mining
whether it be deepmine or mountaintop removal. Our local country music band
members with Halfway to Hazard are also in support of  surface coalmining and
our economy that hinges on coal mining. Please check this out for yourself.

If some one goes postal because of the ignorant remarks that your tv show made

your entertainment company must not have much to put on tv shows when you stoop
as low as to say that the people in Hazard,KY. arent HAPPY.Why dont you come to
Hazard,Ky. and do your own personal survey? The people who work for you are
compared to snake oil people of years gone past. You sure are hunting for
straws. I am going to copy and paste this message to all of my friends which
according to your show are unhappy. This is also going to the Hazard Police
Chief Ronny Bryant, Hazard Herald,WYMT- TV so that you and your BIG O show cant
say that i have threatened you. I grew up with people years ago who would not
have taken the time to email you but they would have came and busted your butt
over the degrading way that your tv show has portrayed the people of our area.
What bothers me the most is
  that i am a CHRISTIAN and i have gotten so upset over your shows portrayal of
Eastern KY. Citizens in our town of Hazard,KY. as well as CITIZENS all over the
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA should come together in one accord and rebel against
IGNORANT people who try to degrade our area. I am sending you my email,home

Thank you. I will do that.
One of the biggest things I've noticed over the years is it all tends to do with
localities. Of course, there are those that move away, but in a lot of cases the
majority of people with the same last name tend to hang around in the same
general areas for at least a couple or three generations. These are things we
look at and for in the censuses, land records etc. Hopefully, at some point,
we'll be able to tie all these guys together that appear to descend from German
Bischoff families. I keep trying!

     When I was searching for the parents of our Adam Bishop Jr., I found some

wife  Barbara, and hired a researcher to find out what more he could find about
them.  I had also found a Henry Bishop there and his sons, including a John

but he was never named as such.  Eventually Adam Sr. was the only Bishop left in
Berkeley County (ca 1790).  Then there were none.  Adam Sr. had moved his family
to Hardy County, VA, where there were several Bishops, including a John.  I was
told that the other Bishops once in Berkeley County had moved to Ohio.

   So you might check on Henry and his son John.

Good morning  Nancy,
Good find!
Yes, it sure does appear to be the same Mack Lester.
The fact that his daughter thinks he had a son before he married Gladys is
a big clue. Family stories tend to get confused, or, at times, can be
deliberately hidden. (I know, I found this out personally). So really, his
daughter just not knowing that he may have been married before could be the
case.
His delayed death certificate showing him born in 1890 also fits the  date
of the marriage.
Yep, I would claim it Nancy. There's too much there  for you to ignore that
one.

From the following info., do you think this is the same Mack  Lester. His
daughter says he was not married before Gladys;, but says she  thinks he does
have a son born before Gladys.

After a trip to the  courthouse in McDowell, we found a marriage cert. for
Mack Lester and Gladys  Lester, dated 15 NOV. 1921.
His age 22, single, parents Edmond and Sarah  Lester, born in Wyoming
County.
Her age 19,single, parents Willie and Della  Dotson.

Also found a marriage cert for Mack Lester and Lilah Lester,  dated 12 May
1916.
His age 19, single, Parends Edmund and Sarah Lester,  born in McDowell
County.
Her age (22?), single, parents, Dove and Barbara  Lester.

His delayed death cert has his birth as 4 22 1890.
We know  all documents for him, have a different age.

Ok, that was confusing.  What do you think, same Mack Lester?

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
The records of the marriage of Nathan Keen and Blanch (sic) Upton, and all of
the births except that of Cora Keen, are written in a greenish ink, and would
appear to have been written at the same time. All other writings are in black
ink.

The latest copyright date in this Bible is 1885, which is therefore the earliest
possible date that Mr Keen could have obtained it. If the green-ink records were
indeed written all at one time, that must have been sometime between 1892 and
1896.

Good morning Nancy,
Good find!
Yes, it sure does appear to be the same Mack Lester.
The fact that his daughter thinks he had a son before he married Gladys is a big
clue. Family stories tend to get confused, or, at times, can be deliberately
hidden. (I know, I found this out personally). So really, his daughter just not
knowing that he may have been married before could be the case.
His delayed death certificate showing him born in 1890 also fits the date of the
marriage.
Yep, I would claim it Nancy. There's too much there for you to ignore that one.

     Hi Nancy,
   Been awhile since I have been on here. Looking for any info on Mack and Lila
Lester.
   From the following info., do you think this is the same Mack Lester. His
daughter says he was not married before Gladys;, but says she thinks he does
have a son born before Gladys.

   After a trip to the courthouse in McDowell, we found a marriage cert. for Mack
Lester and Gladys Lester, dated 15 NOV. 1921.
   His age 22, single, parents Edmond and Sarah Lester, born in Wyoming County.
   Her age 19,single, parents Willie and Della Dotson.

   Also found a marriage cert for Mack Lester and Lilah Lester, dated 12 May
1916.
   His age 19, single, Parends Edmund and Sarah Lester, born in McDowell County.
   Her age (22?), single, parents, Dove and Barbara Lester.

   His delayed death cert has his birth as 4 22 1890.
   We know all documents for him, have a different age.

   Ok, that was confusing. What do you think, same Mack Lester?

Hi you all,
I just uploaded 12 pdf files that I downloaded off the net, they are in a new
folder I created to hold them. I only had time tonight for 12, there are 39
total. I will upload the rest of them tomorrow. For the night though, I hope you
enjoy. I havent had time myself yet to read them, but I'm sure they will have
some good information in them.

Hi all,
Just had to post this, as I was going through some of these mountains of papers
I still have to sort (years worth of research), I ran across a marriage out of
Meigs County Ohio that perked my interest. Most of the records I've ever seen
for Elizabeth Bishop, daughter of John Bishop and his wife Catherine Elizabeth
Mutter, have always referred to her husband as a Thomas Coon. Well, that's what
I had left it as all these years because I'd never seen anything that showed me
otherwise. Until tonight.
Elizabeth Bishop married JOHN COON (not Thomas!) on 11-26-1854 in Meigs County,
Ohio. I only had three children for them, a Chester Coon, John R. Coon, and
Minerva Coon. Well, I found three more children for them- a Henry Coon, Arline
Coon, and Silas Coon. Silas Coon is buried right there in Ashland, Kentucky in
the same cemetery as a son of Hawkins Bishop is buried- the Dixon cemetery in
Westwood, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky. There is already a photo of his stone
up on FindaGrave! I was quite happy over this find. This particular line had
bothered me for a long time, as I could never find absolutely any information
about Elizabeth, her husband, or her children. Well, now we have that!
Signing off for the night, hope this will brighten up somebody's else's research
day- it did mine!
Nancy

Here's the updated information starting with Elizabeth:

Generation No. 3

3.  MAYME9 COON (SILAS8, ELIZABETH7 BISHOP, JOHN6, GEORGE5, HANS JOHANNES4
BISCHOFF, HANS JAKOB3, GEORGE HINNRICH2, HANS JAKOBS1) was born December 28,
1881 in Cabell County, West Virginia, and died September 12, 1943 in Ashland,
Boyd County, Kentucky.  She married CHARLES ROWAN GARVIN in Ashland, Boyd
County, Kentucky, son of OVERTON GARVIN and ELIZABETH BOYER.  He was born July
24, 1872 in Jackson County, Ohio.

Notes for MAYME COON:
Note: It would appear, based on date of birth of Maurice and Mayme's marage date
that Maurice was born out of wedlock. It is not certain that Charles R. Garvin
is the natural father of Maurice. Also, Mayme left Charles and all her small
children,allegedly for another man. His name was Crystal "Cricket" Proctor. In
1942, in the Ashland City Directory it listed Mayme as living with Paul and Alma
Garvin Thompson, her daughter. She was listed as Mayme Garvin, widow of Charles
Rowan Garvin, however at Mayme's place of employment, Gallaher Drug's on 16th
and Winchester, it had her listed as Mayme "Proctor"and also listed her home as
840 Greenup Avenue (Alma and Paul's address). Also in the obituary of her mother
it listed her as Mayme Proctor. It is not known if Mayme was married to Crystal
Proctor, however no divorce records have been found and no marrage license has
yet to be found regarding a marrage to Mr. Proctor. Her death record list her as
Garvin as well as her obituary and her grave marker. At the time of this
research all her living children stated that she was not married to Mr. Proctor.
It is believed that she went by the name of Proctor, at times, to more or less
to "save face" out of respect for her children. Yhose children living at home
when she deserted them were Alma, Raymond and Mary Alice.

Children of MAYME COON and CHARLES GARVIN are:
5. i. MAURICE D.10 GARVIN, b. 1904, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 ii. ROBERT E. GARVIN, b. August 13, 1907, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky; m.
NELLE LEONE BLANKENSHIP, 1924, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky; b. May 24, 1905,
Hinton, West Virginia.

Notes for ROBERT E. GARVIN:
Note: Upon the death of Bob's father, he had several siblings still living with
the father (Charles Rowan). People in the neighborhood wanted to state to take
these young children: Alma, Raymond and Mary Alice and put them up for adoption.
The mother, Mayme had deserted the father and kids sometime prior to Charles
death. It is said that Bob said, "As long as there is life in these two hands
you will not take these kids." Bob and Nell therefore raised the kids until the
were old enough to provide for themselves.

6. iii. EARL VINSON GARVIN, b. August 25, 1910, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 iv. WILLIAM THOMAS GARVIN, b. June 15, 1913, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 v. ALMA MAE GARVIN, b. November 10, 1915, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 vi. RAYMOND T. GARVIN, b. August 05, 1918, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky; m.
VIRGINIA RUTH STURGILL; b. April 27, 1924, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 vii. MARY ALICE GARVIN, b. July 19, 1923, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.


4.  JESSE9 COON (SILAS8, ELIZABETH7 BISHOP, JOHN6, GEORGE5, HANS JOHANNES4
BISCHOFF, HANS JAKOB3, GEORGE HINNRICH2, HANS JAKOBS1) was born November 28,
1887 in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky.  She married JOHN MENSHOUSE.  He
was born May 09, 1883 in Kentucky.

Children of JESSE COON and JOHN MENSHOUSE are:
	 i. HAZEL I.10 MENSHOUSE, b. August 31, 1921, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky; m.
KENNETH WELLS.
	 ii. GEORGIA MENSHOUSE, b. 1908, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 iii. EDWARD MENSHOUSE, b. October 1910, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 iv. JAMES MENSHOUSE, b. 1923, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 v. CECIL MENSHOUSE, b. 1911, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 vi. MARARETT MENSHOUSE, b. 1913, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 vii. DORTHEA MENSHOUSE, b. 1916, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 viii. MARY C. MENSHOUSE, b. January 05, 1919, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.


Generation No. 4

5.  MAURICE D.10 GARVIN (MAYME9 COON, SILAS8, ELIZABETH7 BISHOP, JOHN6, GEORGE5,
HANS JOHANNES4 BISCHOFF, HANS JAKOB3, GEORGE HINNRICH2, HANS JAKOBS1) was born
1904 in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.  He married HATTIE RICE.  She was born
1911 in Johnson County, Kentucky.

Notes for MAURICE D. GARVIN:
Note: Maurice had two children named Erma Lea and Margaret Jean. Birth records
in Kentucky show the following: Ramona L. Garvin was born on 13 Feb 1926 to
Hattie Rice in Boyd County and Jacquline Garvin born on 8 Dec 1927 to Hattie
Rice in Floyd County, which more than likely was Boyd County. Erma Lea had her
name changed as of 20 May 1987 as her birth certificate had an amended name of
"Ramona". Original certificate reflects the name of "Erma Lea." As of 13 April
1998, Margaret Jean's certificate has not yet been received, but it is assumed
that her name was also changed. No reason has been found for this change.

Children of MAURICE GARVIN and HATTIE RICE are:
	 i. ERMA LEE11 GARVIN.
	 ii. MARGARET JEAN GARVIN.


6.  EARL VINSON10 GARVIN (MAYME9 COON, SILAS8, ELIZABETH7 BISHOP, JOHN6,
GEORGE5, HANS JOHANNES4 BISCHOFF, HANS JAKOB3, GEORGE HINNRICH2, HANS JAKOBS1)
was born August 25, 1910 in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.  He married MAUDE
FLORENCE VAUGHN 1929 in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.  She was born May 12,
1911 in Ripley, Brown County, Ohio.

Children of EARL GARVIN and MAUDE VAUGHN are:
	 i. BARBARA JEAN11 GARVIN, b. April 20, 1930, Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky.
	 ii. RICHARD EDWARD GARVIN, b. December 01, 1938, Ashland, Boyd County,
Kentucky.

Awesome. What a small world! My line, well, it hasn't actually been proven
beyond the shadow of a doubt, thanks to a few certain individuals on the Mayo
boards online, but- with the research that a friend of mine and I did, we are
95% sure that we are on the right track. My line goes back to Valentine Mayo,
via Alfred from Florida, through Thomas of Virginia, and of course, not many
folks out there will dare say they even think they know who Valentine's father
was. (Includes the Barbados Mayo's- there were more than 1) But like I said,
this friend of mine and I worked for a few years on him, and Edward, etc. We are
fairly sure that they all came from the same exact family which started out,
document-able history wise at least, in Wiltshire, England. (And to think, I
happened to move to a town named Willshire, in Ohio, haha).
Just now getting on to check email for the day, and already out of time, so will
be answering your letter in the morning!

Yes, my line descends through the second marriage of Elizabeth Mayo to Stephen
Scott.  Their son, Stephen Scott Jr., married Hannah Nicholson, and they had
Hannah Scott.  Hannah Scott married John Overman and they had Miriam Overman. 
Miriam Overman married John Hollowell.  They were the parents of Henry
Hollowell.  Henry and his wife, Martha Bingiman, were my GGG Grandparents. 
 
Talk soon,
Stacy

PS Stacy, I saw you have good old Edward Mayo of Wiltshire in your tree. Am I
right in assuming your branch of that family descends through Elizabeth who
married Keaton Henry, then Stephen Scott? I used to have info on that line, but
it's not on this machine. What a small world we live in. Didn't realize you had
any Mayo's in your tree. That was my maiden name. Oh, I realized that you used
the TMG program to build that site. I do love it, but I can't afford the
software right now. If you have any other ideas though, on freeware that does a
decent job, do please let me know.
Talk to you later,

There might have been two other brothers as well, but nothing is known about
them.  These boys were born in Virginia, and were orphaned at a young age. 
Davis had to of been at least 8 or 9 years old, as that is the age difference in
them.  At some point they were sent to live with an "uncle" Starling Gunn in
Caswell County NC.  The Gunn line has been researched quite extensively, and
none of the researchers know anything about Starling taking in any orphaned boys
between 1820 and 1830.  I also can find no records what so ever about this
relationship, nor anything about them in Virginia.  The first record of these
boys shows up in Caswell County NC.  They purchase items from estate sales
several times.  Davis marries the daughter of William Gordon and Elizabeth Minor
Nipper Gordon.  Her name was Altena Jackson Gordon.  They are married there in
Caswell.  The

William C. and Nancy H. Gordon Dunnaway (another sister of Altena) all travel to
Graves County KY.  It is this area and Calloway County KY that these families
remained, even up until present day.

Hi you guys,
Thank you to all who have already participated in the roll call for the end of
2009. I appreciate it. I would like to get our database updated, and plan on
working on that shortly, but in the meantime, I just wanted to write and say
thank you. If any of you have not written in and shared your 'who I am' stories,
please take a moment to do so. By sharing your lineage, and your brick walls,
you enable the ability to not only help others, but to be helped yourselves.
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Jodi, and everyone,
How are you all faring up with the H1N1? It's all over Fort Wayne right now too.
We are doing our best to just stay out of public places as much as possible,
but.. you can only do so much I guess.
Hope everyone is ok with this new disease threat upon us now.
Nancy

Thank YOU Stacy. Without you guys, what I do wouldn't be possible, believe me. I
am going to go to the database section and make sure yours, and everyone else's
information that has been sent in in the last few weeks is entered there as
well.
I went to your website, and I LOVE it. That is JUST the kind of site I hope to
someday put together for this huge family. Any chance on giving me some
pointers? You can email me at Nancye1962@... off site if you'd like.
I'll surely continue to keep my eyes open for anything on your mystery Dulaney
lines as well.

Nancy

Thanks for helping me out on this one Carol. One thing about it, these guys
never fail to flabbergast me sometimes. But, it is SO worth it when the light
switch clicks on and it hits me just exactly what I am really looking at. You
have helped me so many times with this, thank you Carol.
I am updating my Drake, Harper, and Taylor files over the next few weeks, and
many of these other surnames certainly do figure into those lines as well. And
they ALL tie back to our Bishop's. It's just a matter of getting them all
accurately recorded, and documented.
Thank you a million,
Nancy

Nancy:
I can help you some on John Drake that married Martha Lester:

John Drake was born about 1775 and died May 23, 1820.  I have never been able to
find out who his parents were, but I think that his parents must have died, or
at least his father, when he was about 2 years old. (This information was
pointed out to me by Robert Cruikshank and I went looking for this information
in the court records)  "Washington County Court held May 4, 1777: Ordered that
John Drake be bound to Capt. John Kinkead until the age of twenty one years
according to Law and that Peter Drake be bound to Richard Price according to
Law."

Anyway, this John Drake never left the State of Virginia and the John Drake that
was son of Joseph & Margaret Buchanan Drake lived his adult life in Kentucky.

Martha Lester was born about 1775 daughter of Abner & Martha Lester. (Note:
Martha is a sister to William Calvin Lester that married Rachel Skaggs)  Martha
died in 1859 in Tazewell County, Va.

John Drake and Martha Lester were married 2/12/1793 in Montgomery County, Va.

Their children:
William b. 1794 married Mary Jane Stinson
Sarah "Sally" b. 1795 married William Blankenship
John b. 1798 married Julianne Olinger
Nancy b. 1799, married unknown
Elizabeth b. 1803 married Henry Vincil
Samuel b. 1804, married unknown
Martin b. 1805 married Elizabeth Robinett
Rachel b. 1807 married John Stinson
Larkin b. 1810 married unkown
Margaret b. 1811 married Thomas A. Lester, s/o Jesse Lester and Nancy Collins.

Martha Lester Drakes will probated in Tazewell County, Va. November 1859 in W.B.
3 3, p. 319 - basically states she devises her property to all her lawful heirs
(no names are listed) and Rachel Stinson.

In the 1850 Census of Tazewell County, Va., Martha Drake was living with her
daughter Margaret "Peggy" Lester.

This is all I have on the Drake line.

The writer of the 1/3/2000 post said he had an Abner Hulen Lester...and wonders
whether this was a grandson of Abner Lester.  The answer to that is yes, Abner
Hulen Lester was a son of William Calvin & Rachel Skaggs Lester.  This Abner
Hulen is the one they called "Friday".

As to the Isaac Drake and Margaret Bishop, all I know is that this Margret
Bishop was the daugher of George & Nancy Ann Booth Bishop.

And Mary Elswick (sister of William) married James Lester.  James Lester was the
son of Abner & Martha Lester.  (James Lester was a brother to William Calvin
Lester)  Mary Elswick was the daughter of John Elswick.  James & Mary Elswick
Lester were married 6/5/1792 in Montgomery County, Va.

Hope this helps.

Carol
