Right now I am working on the Alexander and Adkins/Atkins line in KY,
PA and IN. I've finally found that my Margaret 'Amanda' Adkins/Atkins
is the one that was first married to Jacob Rich. They were married
Sept. 17, 1854 in Jackson County IN. She then married my
gr-gr-grandfather, John H. Alexander.

I also have Allman, Bohall, Hovis, Jaynes, Hines, Willcutt/Wilcut in IN.

I have Beard, Bearden, Brock, Brown, Morgan, Raborn/Raburn and White
in the areas of AL, TN, NC, SC and VA.

I'm taking a rest from my own research at the present time, but I am
working on the Leonard family for a friend. I recently did some work
for him on his paternal side - Smith family line and found him to be a
distant cousin to my husband. I am now working on his maternal side
and this is not so easy.
1920 Census - New Haven Connecticut
John J. Leonard age 50
Annie M. age 46
John R. age 21
Anna M age 19
Rochard W. age 17
Elizabeth L. age 15
James A. age 12
William B age 10
Helen age 8
Mary age 5

I believe Elizabeth L. age 15 is the lady I am looking for. Have to
confirm this with my friend and then will see if we can take this
family a few generations back.

I think I looked at your Hines before.  Where did they light when they
came here? I have mine back to NC. (IN > OH > NC) In NC it gets
muddied by every family's naming pattern being the same. I have to
sort through all the George's.

Sherri, I am the third generation of Hines. My greatgrandfather, born
John Haines, changed the surname to Hines. My Haines ancestor came to
Mohawk Valley in New York from Germany in the 1750's and to Upper
Canada during the Revolutionary war. I have learned that if we are
related to any Haines or Hines family outside of this one, it goes back
hundreds of years in Germany for a common ancestor.

I am going to be working on my Bohall/Hovis family for a while.  Try
to get all the sources cited and see what I need. I'll find the
census records and try to figure out when they moved to IN from KY.
My George Bohall was born in KY according to his death record. Meade
County. His father Joseph is buried in Mt. Pleasant so I know the
entire family moved north, not just George. Hopefully I will get it
all taken care of in about a month.

No.  I can access Heritage Quest at home.  That is usually where I go.
I own the 1900, 1910, and 1920 for my county. What I miss is 1850.
I'll have to go over and see what FamilySearch has finished.
Everytime I go there is something new!

I can check the others for you on Ancestry - if you need help.
I'll take a look anyway later after I am fully awake.

Family Search is great but sssslllloooowwww.  I have my George David
Bohall in 1860, 1870 and 1880; he died in 1897. I have to find him in
the earlier census still. His father was Joseph that was born in NY
but somehow found his way to KY and then to IN. Let's see, George was
born in 1815. So the migration to create states was on. Indiana
advertised land in Germany. It was looking for statehood. Most did
work their way north from Kentucky though. I read an article once
about moving north because KY was becoming crowded and IN was still
open.
I've always been surprised by how much they moved around. It had to
be a major undertaking in those days. Coming north from KY meant
crossing the Ohio. Pretty big river even today. Then the southern
knobs to cross and having to clear the land to build and farm. We're
really soft compared with them. Don't know how easy we have it, do
we? I think the women must have been so lonely. Maybe if a couple had
to count on each other for their very real survival like they did
then, there would be few divorces. People are all disconnected from
each other now-a-days. All of our ancestors that came to this country
took the biggest step one could take then. How brave and hardy they were.

Sheri
I was interested in finding out how they crossed the Ohio and made
their journey. Found this article that someone wrote re: letters
that one family saved for their journey from North Carolina to
Indiana to the new land.
http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mygermanfamilies/Journe
y.html
They paid 2 dollars to cross the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky. so it
must have been a good business back in those day. How else to get
across.
Some days they only traveled 12 miles a day - and others as much as
24 miles. Very interesting article.

Isn't that interesting.  Wow, thanks Norma.  I am going to reference that in my program/tree and I'm going to put it up on the county group.
Thank you for being curious.
I still like to travel in today; heated and cooled comfort.  Do you think any of us could survive that trip? 
I wonder how long it would take for us to start to complain?

Since they started in September, the weather should not have been too
hot, but by the time they got to Indiana, it was cold and that could
have been a big problem.
Back in 1964 when we had to travel from Connecticut to San
Franscisco, Calif. for our move to Hawaii, I thought it was a long
trip. We had a brand new 1964 Chevy with all the gadgets available
at that time. We ran into snow in the mountains of Utah, Nebraska
and Nevada. Never cleared up until we came out of the Mountains
into California. We were cold, and very tired. Averaged 500 miles
a day and it still was too long. I can't imagine 24 miles a day and
under such terrible conditions. Only the promise of a better life
could make it all bearable.

Possible new information on my Sullivan family.    I could not find
their graves stones in the St. Andrew's Cemetery when I was in
Connecticut a few years ago, which is where I was sure they had been
buried. I know my Gr. Grandparents were married in St. Andrew's
Church so made the assumption that was where they were buried.
However, I was made aware recently, that many parishners from
Colchester were buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in nearby Norwich. So
I have sent a letter off to the curator of that Cemetery, in hopes
that I may find them there. If so, I am planning on another trip to
Conn. this spring and hope to be able to get photos of the headstone
at that time and hopefully a little more information on their birth
and death dates. Up until now, they are approximate.

Thanks Sheri - for the most part it is a nice trip.   I hate driving
through or anywhere near New York, but there is no other way to get to
Conn. without that hassle. The rest of the trip is pleasant. I hope
I can get the information before I go - don't want to walk the Cemetery
like I did in St. Andrews and come up with thirty Sullivan's and none
of them mine. Actually one of them was one I recognized, but not
direct line.

I've gotten no where on my Brown family.  My gr-grandmother was Beatrice Brown.  She died when my grandmother was a baby.  Her family moved out of the area a few years later and I have been unable to find them at all.  So one of my New Year's gen-promises is to find them, if it is possible.  First thing I need to do is to get her death cert.  Alabama death certs do not carry parents names though.  That is why I have not gotten it before.  Very frustrating.  Indiana certs are great.  I got spoiled I suppose.

I don't think my new allergy meds are working out. . . . . .

Beatrice Brown
b) May 29, 1890
d) Oct. 1, 1911
Married Charles Pinkney Beard 1908.
I have to assume she was born in Alabama.  This information was in my Grandmothers bible.  Otherwise I would not have this.  My grandmother was born in Alabama and Beatrice is buried there.
My grandmother, Bizzie Lee Beard Brock (I personally think Bizzie was a pet name, in some census she is listed as Busy Lee.  She claimed it was her given name.) was raised partly by her Beard grandparents when she was very young, then her step-mother,  Ada Myrtle Fancier Beard. 

Thanks for the offer Norma.

Sorry to hear about that - maybe the weather will change instead.


1910 Census, Cox, Etowah, Alabama
Pinkey C. Beard age 22 (1888) - farmer
Beatrice age 18 (1892)
Lee B. 9 mos. - (1909)


Appears to be using middle name in this
census - will try that to find him in other Census

I tried a one name search for Beatrice and then for Brown and the
only one that shows up in her age bracket is a Beatrice Smith as a
boarder. (age 8) in the 1900 Census.

I know she is hard.  I can't find her before Charles.  She has to be there.   I have thought that maybe she went by her middle name.  I don't have a clue what that is though.  I'm hoping to find time to go through all the Browns in that area at the time she and Charles were in the census.  I know my grandmother and family knew the Browns and often went to visit.  They didn't move until after her death.   I'm sure they are there, just hiding.  I have a lot of insomnia.  I will spent that time going through the census page by page.  You can do that on Heritage Quest, thank goodness. 
I did find an intriguing article that had been transcribed on a genweb of Etowah Co., AL about a Beard/Brown birthday party.  It mentioned a Lee as the Father or Grandfather, if I remember correctly.  I'll have to find it and go back through it.  Lee is not a Brock name.  I was named (middle) for my grandmother and my Dad.  Their middle names are Lee.  Mine is spelled Lea, but it was for them.  There is NO Lee anything in any Brock I have found.  There are several in the Beards.
Thank you for trying.  I have 2 really hard lines.  Beard/Brown in AL and the Janes/Jaynes/Hughart in KY.
How many do you have?  I sometimes want to give up on both.  Then something peeps out and I'm off again! :o)

I didn't find any Brown's in Cox by the HQ Search, but a one on one
search may find something. I think she either lived with someone
else or used an aka name.

I have several road blocks in my tree.   My Sullivans are the hardest
because I have not been able to find where they entered the U.S.
One record says Pennsylvania, another says Maryland. I would have
though the port of entry would have been New York, because that is
where they first lived until they came to Connecticut. They would
have had to travel from Maryland or Pa. to New York which was not
common for immigrants back in the 1850's.

Have you checked to see why they would have come into PA instead of a port city?  Like I said about IN and advertising land, that might have happened.  They went right to PA instead of stopping at the entry point. The Hovis line did that.  They are listed as Germany then York Co. PA.  Period.  I bet they had land waiting for them that they had purchased in Germany.  Perhaps a lawyer in PA took care of things and it all moved smoothly thereafter.

I am only speculating.  I may have imagined wrongly but there has to be a reason.
