I'm very interested in the possibility of having some graves of Rev. War
vets marked.  One in particular is in NC, and there are many records of this
man's having served in the RW, but no marker in the cemetery.  The stone
which originally marked his grave is nearly completely ruined, and without
the records of the family the place would be unknown.  I wonder if there is
some place to contact in order to begin some process of getting it marked.

The local DAR Chapter would be the place to start. They do a lot of marking
of REV War veteran graves. If you can't get any answer from the local
chapter, contact the state.

This site is worth repeating.

Hello!!
I have created a new Website called "Genealogy Look Up Forum". It is a
website of volunteers who will do various types of look ups such as
Census,
Cemetery, Marriage, and many more. I am always also looking for new
volunteers who would like to do some look ups for people. Please check out
the website. I am sure you will be impressed with it.

Got this from another list and thought it worth passing on.

Impossible and Improbable by Donna Przecha

Genealogy thrives as a rewarding hobby because most people in the past lived
orderly lives. We expect them to be born, marry, have children and die, and
that there will be someone to record most of these events somewhere. Usually
this is exactly what happens. All we have to do is find out where these
events were recorded. However, occasionally we come across events that just
do not fit into the orderly scheme of things. Sometimes they seem to be
highly improbable or completely impossible.

Disowned Children

In past times marrying outside the family's religion, race, culture or
social
class was considered by some to be taboo. If children violated this rule,
some families would disown them and even declare them dead. In one case the
parents not only declared the child dead but went so far as to erect a
tombstone with her name and her marriage date as the death date. People who
were mentally ill or physically deformed might be sent off to an asylum or
hospital and the family would act as if they were dead. They might be
recorded in the family Bible as having died, so when you find the individual
in a census you will be thoroughly confused! A daughter might also be
disowned if she became pregnant and was not married or a son cut out of the
family if he ended up in prison. Obituaries were generally provided by the
families, and facts and children who did not suit the image the family
wished
to project could be omitted. If a child was not mentioned in the obituary in
the local hometown paper, it didn't mean the child didn't exist or was
deceased.

Finding disowned children can be very difficult because they often moved a
long way from their original home to a completely different environment.
Someone from Connecticut might move to Idaho or Texas for no apparent
reason.
With more national indexes becoming available, it is easier to locate these
people. Since most census indexes are still on a state-by-state basis, you
almost have to check each state as there is no predicting where they might
have gone.

The names of disowned children might turn up in a will or probate. In a will
the parent might want to mention the child just to be sure he or she is cut
out of the inheritance. If there was no will, all living children would need
to be named in legal documents relating to an inheritance.
    In past times marrying outside the family's religion, race, culture or
social class was considered by some to be taboo. If children violated this
rule, some families would disown them and even declare them dead.

Bigamy

Even in this day of instant communication with cell phones, pagers and the
Internet, you can still pick up the paper and read about a man who was
married to different women and had two different families, each of which was
unknown to the other. (Why a man would want the responsibilities of two
families and keeping them secret is beyond me!) In the past it was so much
easier to acquire two wives, although it was more often serial rather than
concurrent. If a man from Virginia went to California to look for gold, he
might decide after a couple of fruitless years that he didn't want to go
home
and face the ridicule of his family and neighbors. He might decide to just
settle down in California, perhaps open a store or take up farming and marry
a girl he met there. Since he may have stopped writing to his family in
Virginia months ago, he would hardly feel it was necessary to go to all the
trouble and agony of trying to get a divorce. He might even send back an
announcement of his death just to close that chapter of his life.
    Even in this day of instant communication, you can still pick up the
paper
and read about a man who was married to different women and had two
different
families, each of which was unknown to the other.

When a husband disappears, the wife usually goes through the legal process
to
have him declared dead after a certain period of time. You might encounter
the family with the husband in one census and in the next find the wife
listed as a widow. This would lead you to believe he died in the meantime
and
you would look for cemetery records, obituaries, wills and death records. If
he simply disappeared, you will not find any of these and may need to
explore
court records for a legal document declaring him dead. Of course, he may not
really be dead at all.

Name Changes

Many men, especially new immigrants, found it too overwhelming to try to
support a family and just walked off and were never heard from again. They
might even change their names, settle down in a new area and get married
again. This is very difficult to track and document, but one place where
this
could come out is in military pension records. If a man was in the Civil
War,
his first wife would know he was entitled to a pension and would apply for
one when it became obvious he was never coming back, and could be presumed
dead. If he remarried under another name, he might feel enough loyalty to
his
second wife to disclose his military service and the name under which he
enlisted. Once he died and the second wife applied for her pension, both
applications would end up with the same service record.

If you suspect a possible name change, be sure to consult as many legal or
official documents as possible.

If you suspect a possible name change, be sure to consult as many legal or
official documents as possible, such as pension papers, wills,
naturalization
papers or land deeds. Even if a man changed names he might think he had to
include his "also known as" (AKA) name to be sure the transaction was valid,
fearing the original name might come out at some point and nullify the
action.

A woman could create genealogical confusion by not changing her name. If a
woman had a child out of wedlock, she might move to another town, keep her
maiden name but call herself Mrs., claiming she was a widow. Even if people
knew she had never married, a mother would be called Mrs. as a courtesy
because it would be embarrassing to all concerned to suggest that an
unmarried woman had a child.

In African-American research, many people assume that a freed slave would
take the family name of the person who had owned him before emancipation. In
fact, the freed slaves could take any name they liked and many experimented
with several names before settling on one. Siblings might choose different
surnames so it is not obvious to a researcher that they are related. A
parent
might have lived on a different plantation and select a different name from
the child. Many chose names of famous people or people they admired, so the
surname may or may not be significant for the researcher.
    Freed slaves could take any name they liked, so the surname may or may
not
be significant for the researcher.

Duplicate Names

Sometimes a researcher looking through baptism records will find a couple
who
gave the same name to two different children. A look at the burials usually
reveals that the first child with that name died before the second one was
born. In some cases no such death is found. In fact, both children seem to
live, grow up and produce their own records. This can cause the researcher a
bit of confusion and reexamination of the records. For some reason — perhaps
a lack of imagination? — parents will give children almost identical names.
In one family there was a John and a Jonathan, and both lived to adulthood.
Mary and Maria are also possibilities.

Sometimes, especially in German names, the first name would be the same for
all children of the same sex, but the second name would be different. A
family might consist of Johann Georg, Johann Wilhelm, Johann Josef, Anna
Barbara, Anna Maria and Anna Theresa. Needless to say, the children usually
went by their middle names and the children might be known as Georg, Johann,
Josef, Barbara, Anna and Theresa. In later records, they might reverse the
name since the middle name was the one usually used. This means you almost
have to follow the lives of all the brothers to be sure who was really
Johann. Just to confuse matters, Georg and Josef might use their official
first name, Johann, on a record.
    Sometimes, especially in German names, the first name would be the same
for all children of the same sex, but the second name would be different.

Informal Adoptions

Very often in the past, adoptions were very informally arranged. A woman
might have a child that she really couldn't care for, because of health or
financial reasons, while her sister might have wanted a child but was unable
to have one. It might be agreed between the two families that the child
would
be given to the other to raise. No papers were signed or legal documents
filed. Similarly, a foundling might be taken in by a family and simply
raised
as their own.

Wrong Sex

We have all encountered a person being classified as a male in one census
and
a female in another. This frequently happens with unusual names, or names
that can be either sex, and usually it is just an error on the part of the
census taker. However, there have been cases where children have been raised
as if they were the opposite sex. Boys were dressed like girls when they
were
small and a mother who wanted a girl and was unable to have any more
children
might well continue that deception until the child revolted. Sex change
operations were not possible 100 years ago but people could live as if they
were the opposite sex. A woman might be especially tempted to masquerade as
a
man if she wished to be a soldier or a cowboy or follow some equally
masculine occupation. Very recently a well-known band leader died and it was
found that he, even though he was married, was actually a woman and no one
knew.
    We have all encountered a person being classified as a male in one census
and a female in another. This is usually just an error on the part of the
census taker, but alternate explanations are sometimes possible.

Race Change

While following a family back through the census you might find a person who
had always been classified as white, listed as mulatto, meaning a mixture of
white and African ancestry. While we know the census taker often made
mistakes, this might mean there is African-American ancestry in that line.
Appearance played a big part in racial designation and when possible, many
people of mixed ancestry would "pass" for white when they could. The
children
of Sally Hemings are a good example. (Whether or not you believe Thomas
Jefferson was the father, it is generally accepted that the father of the
Hemings children was white.)

Sally herself was 1/4 black, as her father and maternal grandfather were
both
white. Her children were only 1/8 black. They all drifted off, with or
without permission, and settled elsewhere. Eston at first settled in Ohio
and
in 1852 moved to Wisconsin where he changed his name from Hemings to
Jefferson and his race to white. Eston's descendants did not even know of
their black ancestry. Beverly (a son) and Harriet apparently disappeared
into
white society. Thomas became a minister in the African Methodist church and
Madison stayed in the black community.

Many people, especially in the south, have both white and black ancestry.
Given the conditions and disadvantages under which blacks, even free ones,
had to live, it made sense to be classified as white if at all possible. It
made their lives and the lives of their families much easier.
    Many people, especially in the south, have both white and black ancestry.
Given the conditions and disadvantages under which blacks, even free ones,
had to live, many people of mixed ancestry would "pass" for white when they
could.

Facing the Impossible

I would not encourage anyone to look for any of these extreme situations in
his or her own family research, but if the impossible or the improbable
appears, keep an open mind. If you come across one of these situations, this
line may be truncated. Even if you do manage to work around it, it will take
much research and documentation to gather enough evidence to prove what
really happened. However, if you do manage to piece the whole story
together,
it will probably be the highlight of your family history!

Sue,

In the 1860 and 1870 Greene Co. censuses, there is a big family of Tysons
that I'm descended from.  I actually have Tysons on both sides of my
father's family.  In this big family, there are men and women of
childbearing age listed.  The info about this family is incorrect, even on
my web site.  Thomas and Rachel Tyson had many of the people listed, but
some of the women are daughters-in-law and some of the kids are their kids.
I don't know what the maiden names for these women were.  I am descended
from Frances Tyson who was the mother of William Tyson and Mary Lula Tyson.
I don't know what her maiden name was.  Her husband was probably one of the
Tyson men listed, Moses or Joel, one of those.  Thanks for the tip about the
Foreman name and let's keep in touch.  I'll try to check some of my sources
in the next few days.

Hi Everyone :-)

I thought some of you might be interested in a very special genealogy
lecture that is taking place on my site tonight from 8pm - 10pm Eastern
time.

Nationally known lecturer and award-winning author John Humphrey will be
speaking about Life in Mid-18th century PA.  This impacts many of us
with ancestors in NC, because many of our ancestors immigrated to this
country through Pennsylvania in the 1700s and then moved on to the
southern states.

John's lecture text is online for reading prior to the lecture.  During
the chat itself he will make a few remarks regarding his material, but
will primarily be answering questions :-)

You can find the lecture text and learn about the instructions for the
virtual lecture itself right here.  If you do plan to attend, please
familiarize yourself with the chat instructions first :-)

Would your question about the Paramores/Paramours be the same family of
Paramores/Paramours (Howell and W.B.) that hired William Parker to murder
Bryan Grimes in 1880?  Howell Paramore killed himself in a hotel room in
Cheraw, Chesterfield Co., SC on 15 May 1881 and is probably buried there.

There are Paramores buried at the Phillips Cemetery on Highway 43 between
Greenville and Vanceboro.  It is right across the street from the Vanceboro
Church of God.  It was a church cemetery at one time but the church burned
down.  It is not affiliated with the Church of God, I am just giving this to
you as a reference point.

Calvin Oscar Paramore, born 2-5-1881, died 10-1-1938 married my great great
Aunt Josephine Powell (Paramore), born 11-23-1876, died 3-6-1967.  Their son
Floyd Paramore, born 4-8-1904, died 5-3-1904.  Their daughter Edna Earl
Paramore (Phillips) born 8-3-1912, died 2-13-1977 married Alton Wyman
Phillips, born 8-20-1906, died 8-14-1985.  Edna and Alton's daughter Sandra
Kay Phillips, born 5-19-1945, died 1996.  These are all in the Phillips
Cemetery.

Calvin Oscar had a son Lee Roy Paramore, born 6-4-1896, died 6-6-1966 who
married Betsy Leeson (Paramore) born 8-1-1902, died 4-7-1986.  They are
buried in the mausoleum at Raleigh Memorial Gardens on Highway 70 West just
outside the Raleigh City Limits.  Lee Roy was a noted stateman and
ambassador to several countries before he died.  He has two remaining
daughters and several grandchildren.

I do not know how these Paramores relate to the ones John Grimes refers to,
but these seem to have had a better reputation.  Since they are related to
me and I sincerely care for John Grimes and his historical ancestors, I hope
these are not directly related.

I just thought you might like to know where they are in case they fit into
your tree.  I have more information on them if you are related.
