<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Game Changer<br /></b>This new feature is a game changer in genealogy research. It
is now possible to find our ancestor’s names in deeds as witnesses, neighbors,
or the et. al. in deed indexes. We could use the search to locate all the
people who lived on a particular watershed to help in the platting of deeds of
our ancestors and their neighbors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This can also locate ancestors who moved or purchased land
in another location that you had previously not known. You can also search
multiple names and locate deeds that name different people. Perhaps this will
help you discover the maiden name of a female ancestors whose maiden name was
unknown.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are so many possibilities. Give it a try!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div>Copyright © 2024 by Lisa S. Gorrell, Mam-ma's Southern Family, All rights reserved.</div>Lisa S.

book?</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many years ago, while speaking with my grandmother, she told
me that a comic book had been written about her brother, Rayburn D. (R.D.) Lancaster
while he was serving in the Army Air Forces in World War II. I thought that
interesting and tried several times to locate this comic book in comic book
stores. However, none of the proprietors knew what I was talking about. These
stores were more focused on superhero comics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">R. D. Lancaster enlisted in the Army Air Corps on 14 January
1942 as an aviation cadet. He was twenty-one years old.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
He trained in Chickasha, Oklahoma. When he wrote home, he said he had acquired
the nickname “Rip.” <span lang="X-NONE">During
his first solo flight, in checking his parachute, he noticed a string and upon
pulling on the errant string, caused him to be lifted several feet off the
ground.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: X-NONE; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">Fast
forward in time, a fellow volunteer at the History Center where I volunteer is
an avid fan of comic books, so I posed the question to him how I could locate
this comic book about my grandmother’s brother. After a matter of searching and
questioning others on a <i>Facebook</i> comic book group, he relayed the comic
book title to me. It is in a series of comic books titled <i>Fight Comics</i>.
The issue number is 29, which was published in December 1943. I have since
discovered a website that has indexes for many comic books, <i>Grand Comics
Database</i> (https://www.comics.org/).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">These
comics were published by Fiction House, a pulp magazine publisher of all kinds
of pulp fiction, from January 1940 through 1954.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">One day,
I decided to search for this comic book online. Using a <i>Google</i> search, I
discovered it on <i>Comic Book +</i> (<a href="https://comicbookplus.com">https://comicbookplus.com</a>).
It is available in a digital form and I can read it. If I create an online
account on the website, I could download the comic book. The total number of
pages including the front and back cover is 60 pages.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLoxwKpAI3ph8FK43x_mb6EjeNjGAqealNNWRUkHVKO5OSqgH5moJIlAjQFlk03urFUKOmZbCHmetZ24_t3xd4uBhPQlxA42v9iPNtcwDGkfpOmQeXRYNthR_ajrXiRTDwLYkD4B2sIQIK5Aik2qS-mxE-2WgwupKkZdTMqnBTlu0grr2Ol97jD27PZRL/s1398/1943-Dec-FlightComic29-cover-RayburnLancaster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1398" data-original-width="975" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLoxwKpAI3ph8FK43x_mb6EjeNjGAqealNNWRUkHVKO5OSqgH5moJIlAjQFlk03urFUKOmZbCHmetZ24_t3xd4uBhPQlxA42v9iPNtcwDGkfpOmQeXRYNthR_ajrXiRTDwLYkD4B2sIQIK5Aik2qS-mxE-2WgwupKkZdTMqnBTlu0grr2Ol97jD27PZRL/w446-h640/1943-Dec-FlightComic29-cover-RayburnLancaster.jpg" width="446" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">So I browsed

This is a story about Hubert Miller, a second lieutenant, who parachuted out of
his plane after a malfunction stopped the engine. Rayburn was in the same flight
formation and noticed that Hubert was in trouble. So the story is about Rayburn
engaging against a Nazi plane and shooting him down. The images of Rayburn
Lancaster or his plane are in the third through eighth frames. Later in the
story, Miller is rescued as landing ships arrive in Sicily and he’s met by his
cousin, Bert, who was a sailor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVVn-e_dsBiAxuk84qTn9DKjNLUzAq8PAt3-xivBrbcFIQR1dHn8ujDBhu-Ff1mMEl1RUXFdHZuIsh0C7cSX60DXB3KQ0nTXR8BzfYZXMi17JCR5rKI9KMSmshAeCRvZ0BGqI3HDYXKayruuZFYA8tloewNgZ2YjNhHU83Osb-YW4Wheh7cqIiawk3bAI1/s1405/1943-Dec-FlightComic29-p35-RayburnLancaster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1405" data-original-width="975" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVVn-e_dsBiAxuk84qTn9DKjNLUzAq8PAt3-xivBrbcFIQR1dHn8ujDBhu-Ff1mMEl1RUXFdHZuIsh0C7cSX60DXB3KQ0nTXR8BzfYZXMi17JCR5rKI9KMSmshAeCRvZ0BGqI3HDYXKayruuZFYA8tloewNgZ2YjNhHU83Osb-YW4Wheh7cqIiawk3bAI1/w444-h640/1943-Dec-FlightComic29-p35-RayburnLancaster.jpg" width="444" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">In July
1943, this action took place over Sicily where the Italian Campaign occurred as
the Allies were invading Sicily and later mainland Italy in an effort to ease fighting
at the Russian front.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: X-NONE; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
I am curious how these stories came about. In searching <i>Newspapers.com</i>,
I discovered an article about Lt. Miller in the <i>Kenosha News</i>, describing
he was one of two local boys lost in action. However, his rescue from his life
raft during the invasion of Sicily from North Africa was called “the luckiest
hitch-hiker of the war.”<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: X-NONE; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
It is a shame he was later lost in the war.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">In many
July newspapers, I discovered articles about Lt. Hubert Miller, a P-40 Warhawk
pilot, being rescued by his cousin, Seaman 2d Class Francis Stratford.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="X-NONE" style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: X-NONE; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
Most of the articles were only about Miller being rescued by his sailor cousin.
However, I finally found a Fort Worth newspaper that described R.D.’s actions
in the episode. R.D.’s action in the comic book story varies slightly from the newspaper
account. He did not attack the German Messerschmitts but returned to Malta with
less than five gallons of fuel but was able to give Miller’s location. Of
course, the comic book writer needed more action in the story.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDgYxsjZX_OegEFbNHPUcKQb8qh9o-YlsD5hWPtu3qHD_MiXzh37Mb_rsdNH8DZesCNtSvdjXpu8zbJfVWrmii-nr6QIfl7ljXUJxu4k7So6dBQKqzzkwrFg4RKMtSYnq8NRJreN4WcAlGg9lHTiMUDZkzrExSklBRcUu096LSsPGBMA4smgGNrCShZCi/s7535/1943-07-13_FortWorthStarTelegram-pc-RDLancaster-Sicily.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7535" data-original-width="6014" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaDgYxsjZX_OegEFbNHPUcKQb8qh9o-YlsD5hWPtu3qHD_MiXzh37Mb_rsdNH8DZesCNtSvdjXpu8zbJfVWrmii-nr6QIfl7ljXUJxu4k7So6dBQKqzzkwrFg4RKMtSYnq8NRJreN4WcAlGg9lHTiMUDZkzrExSklBRcUu096LSsPGBMA4smgGNrCShZCi/w510-h640/1943-07-13_FortWorthStarTelegram-pc-RDLancaster-Sicily.jpg" width="510" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="X-NONE">So, now I

grandmother’s photo collection were taken on the same day and they are some of
my favorite photos.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;">The first one has
a bit of humor in it. My mother, Lela, is the child in the middle and my
grandmother is the woman on the right. To the left is Maggie Self, my
grandmother’s aunt, and her father’s younger sister. It’s humorous that they are
lying on the floor and perhaps Lela couldn’t hold her laughter and that is why
she is a bit blurry in the photo.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckDWKtnc1P6sWn2iSSvibI0lq7aJhgPX3rPUCytlUdTnPL2aUewVw6f1vnoyOmPjiFLw9MfW3yf95XSgpz8S3TIFj8bl1R2gc6sCm_FAzTFNVTsqYiP_9aiZgjdDYAiLI8YNnTpve_RQPQUn_dJoNY2lW1J1AmPeywGslW7OBlHfFs4l7o9-I1zhYppQr/s2728/1938_MaggieSelf-LelaNell-PansyJohnston-on-floor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2728" data-original-width="1731" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckDWKtnc1P6sWn2iSSvibI0lq7aJhgPX3rPUCytlUdTnPL2aUewVw6f1vnoyOmPjiFLw9MfW3yf95XSgpz8S3TIFj8bl1R2gc6sCm_FAzTFNVTsqYiP_9aiZgjdDYAiLI8YNnTpve_RQPQUn_dJoNY2lW1J1AmPeywGslW7OBlHfFs4l7o9-I1zhYppQr/w254-h400/1938_MaggieSelf-LelaNell-PansyJohnston-on-floor.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;">The second photo
taken the same day and in front of the same door has four generations. You can
see that Maggie, Pansy, and Lela are wearing the same outfits. In the rear are
Maggie Lancaster Self and her brother, Warren Lancaster. Seated are Carl and
Doll Lancaster, Maggie and Warren’s parents with their great-granddaughter,
Lela, between them. On the floor is Pansy Johnston, Warren’s daughter. Four
generations of Lancasters: Lela > Pansy > Warren > Carl & Doll.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPj1BoDm1h7HBRlerocOdNGvbhA2P3yMc6hTvc77RuvL8fnqGmj-cZ9UId1kKy5WiDELzJwld2VSSrCYlykuHXnyfLqPc1JP49n0XDJx-YVifc9yMXwDbagz4Vdd4CGYXop2x0giotzXhnZsxEusJ8qtg8jApXlFoT7oTOKjKXYF5jGLH1nPZ4BKykZmvB/s359/Carl&Martha-with-family1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="238" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPj1BoDm1h7HBRlerocOdNGvbhA2P3yMc6hTvc77RuvL8fnqGmj-cZ9UId1kKy5WiDELzJwld2VSSrCYlykuHXnyfLqPc1JP49n0XDJx-YVifc9yMXwDbagz4Vdd4CGYXop2x0giotzXhnZsxEusJ8qtg8jApXlFoT7oTOKjKXYF5jGLH1nPZ4BKykZmvB/w265-h400/Carl&Martha-with-family1.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;">I just noticed
the treadle sewing machine in the background of the first image. That machine found it’s way to
Pansy’s home and I remember my grandmother using it before getting an electric
machine. The coat and hat on top likely belonged to Carl, as men wore hats in
those days. I have noted the photo was taken in 1938. I wonder what the
occasion was. Everyone is dressed up, the men in ties, and the ladies in nice
dresses and stockings. Perhaps it was a birthday. Both Carl and Doll would turn
65 in 1938. Warren would turn 45. Unfortunately, the photo does not say.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif;">Where were they
in 1940? Living in Stephenville, Texas.

write as many for this blog as the topic is finely defined. Mam-ma’s southern

research.</p>

like the game of telephone, something can be lost or changed in each retelling
of a story. We are told that family stories have a kernel of truth, but we have
to sift through all the husks to discover that kernel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I first began my quest to find out about my mother’s
southern family, I had already heard that we had Native American ancestry. It
was used to explain why I had darker skin and hair than my siblings (though my German/Irish
ancestry father had dark hair, too). My mother wrote her family’s racial
origins as Irish, Scots, Indian, and English. She had done no family research,
so this was probably just what had been told to her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUofBOHV2fwKmmnjAReMS_Y7OJkjtJeJwEmuNR49zSf_5dcNLwHEHKIWlaHcqUsggBMioFVDcdqZYFWe_T60CRe49ljhKqW9GntcZRGsdWBswby0WR4Aaq4zRqdR0Hzo5jN9R0Tbdo6pygbcZoo6luO3Gevfwayf-Yas6ExBZ3mTAdVfNUMGDoYNklfl2J/s686/a004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="686" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUofBOHV2fwKmmnjAReMS_Y7OJkjtJeJwEmuNR49zSf_5dcNLwHEHKIWlaHcqUsggBMioFVDcdqZYFWe_T60CRe49ljhKqW9GntcZRGsdWBswby0WR4Aaq4zRqdR0Hzo5jN9R0Tbdo6pygbcZoo6luO3Gevfwayf-Yas6ExBZ3mTAdVfNUMGDoYNklfl2J/w200-h160/a004.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></div><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I dutifully researched the family backward in time and got to
my fourth-great-grandparents, and still no sign of any Native American
ancestry. All census records stated these sixteen ancestors were white. My
grandmother, Pansy Lancaster, thought her side of the family carried it. Then
one day, her sister-in-law, Beryl Johnston, claimed they had Cherokee ancestry,
too. If there was Native American ancestry on both sides of my mother’s lines,
surely, I would have found some sign.</span></p></span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Enter DNA. I had my grandmother test at Family Tree DNA, first
with the mtDNA test as that was all that was available when she tested in 2010.
This test is for her mitochondria DNA and references her mother’s mother’s
mother, etc. So, this was only a tiny portion of her ancestry. Her haplogroup
came back as U5, a very common haplogroup of European ancestry. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2013, I ordered the Family Finder test to be run on her
sample. Because this autosomal DNA covers all her ancestry, but only back four
or five generations, I had hoped we would see a hint of Native American
ancestry. Nope, her DNA is all from Western Europe.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdygKAOqq-xadYLUH6fqlgb62kalsY_XyFjcTwGyrsXM21RZpReE8KhyphenhyphenGj9n0WETfStvD5u3KFsrRiKtvF1paL36Uw36bbLFclY3I7ExGCpFYW7Mw3c0rYxfNzTVMLuesjUS-U4V-WX5XmKnfhB52oSaGjjA9J-xLbakruLQMG3shV5NZlX21PomUbzYPO/s1067/Mam-ma-DNA-2024.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="421" data-original-width="1067" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdygKAOqq-xadYLUH6fqlgb62kalsY_XyFjcTwGyrsXM21RZpReE8KhyphenhyphenGj9n0WETfStvD5u3KFsrRiKtvF1paL36Uw36bbLFclY3I7ExGCpFYW7Mw3c0rYxfNzTVMLuesjUS-U4V-WX5XmKnfhB52oSaGjjA9J-xLbakruLQMG3shV5NZlX21PomUbzYPO/w640-h252/Mam-ma-DNA-2024.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Family Tree DNA for Pansy</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is still possible that through recombination the DNA from

What is the cause of that? Is it having darker skin? Is the shape of the nose
the cause? I have no idea.</span></p><p></p>

Faye Moon!<div><p class="MsoNormal">Have you ever known anyone named the “Best of”? Well, my grandmother’s
first cousin, Faye Loveless Moon was named a “Best of.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faye was the first daughter of James Oscar Arthur Loveless
and Lula Kate Ferguson, born on 15 March 1908 in Texas. She grew up in
Stephenville and was five years older than my grandmother. They likely hung out
at times when my grandmother grew older. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Best Cook in the Country</b><br />
Faye Moon of Stephenville was named the “Best Cook in the Country” by <i>Country
Magazine</i> for the year 1987. She responded to a newspaper reporter saying, “I
was so excited I could hardly believe what they were telling me.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week50-Wouldn'tYouBelieveIt.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Country Magazine</i> had a contest where subscribers
could nominate the best cook. Her cousin, R. D. Lancaster, my grandmother’s
brother, nominated Faye. He and his wife, Barbara, were frequent visitors to
Faye’s home and he insisted “she is truly a good cook.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faye was a retired home economics teacher and she enjoyed
cooking and experimenting with food preparation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The magazine began with featuring nominations sent in by
subscribers and then readers would write in with their support for a particular
cook. She was highlighted in the June-July 1987 issue.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week50-Wouldn'tYouBelieveIt.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
The magazine said they received a “file full” of letters. One comment was “Some
of my happiest memories are of times spent at this lady’s table.” Another
wrote, “Faye is not only a good cook, but a very lovable, generous and carrying
person.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week50-Wouldn'tYouBelieveIt.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Her Prize</b><br />
She won a free trip from a choice of tours offered by <i>Country</i>’s travel
division. Her two daughters, Sue and Lou accompanied her on a trip to the Great
Northwest (Oregon and Washington). She thought it would be a “trip of a
lifetime.” R. D. also won a trip for nominating her. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Lunch for a Reporter</b><br />
Larry Zelisko, who wrote the “Big Country Journal” column for the <i>Abilene Reporter-News</i>,
finagled an invitation to lunch at Faye’s home, along with R.D. and Barbara
Lancaster. He wrote about it in his column. She prepared fried chicken, a side
dish she called okra-potato gumbo, black-eyed peas with green beans, a crushed pineapple
and carrot salad with poppyseed dressing, and homemade rolls. For dessert was
pecan pie. (What a filling lunch! Plus, this was a typical meal my grandmother
would make.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He reported she learned to cook from her mother. Her first
stove burned kerosene but now had an electric stove. She studied home economics
at Tarleton State (a junior college) and College for Industrial Arts (now Texas
Woman’s University). She taught home economics for thirty-two years at high
schools in Alexander, Bluff Dale, Hico, Dublin, and Stephenville.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week50-Wouldn'tYouBelieveIt.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have copies of the above newspaper and magazine articles
but due to copyright, I cannot show them. However, I met Faye in 1995 when my
grandmother and I visited Texas. Here is a photo of my grandmother in the back
and Faye in the front. They have a strong resemblance. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cooking has always been a love of my grandmother and my
mother, so it is not a surprise that a member of the Texas family has won a “best
of” cooking contest.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyoDygIkCsF8h0RB-MOWF_l_ZXCRCz08ZWOHp83qVGLDpey5v3p1KKmXlpKzTf5eN5ThVrQbm7zA28L99rvRcSjyg1POZT2lfTy1qE0_jpiVC2FgRWke2qpDyasYE0hyphenhyphend7PJ6lLHTXcJKpqr4AsYVmKXBDNLwylb-LrbA1wUO0diX5qqNQJpqWeXhTPXeQ/s1553/1995_Mam-ma&FayeLovelessMoon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1309" data-original-width="1553" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyoDygIkCsF8h0RB-MOWF_l_ZXCRCz08ZWOHp83qVGLDpey5v3p1KKmXlpKzTf5eN5ThVrQbm7zA28L99rvRcSjyg1POZT2lfTy1qE0_jpiVC2FgRWke2qpDyasYE0hyphenhyphend7PJ6lLHTXcJKpqr4AsYVmKXBDNLwylb-LrbA1wUO0diX5qqNQJpqWeXhTPXeQ/w640-h540/1995_Mam-ma&FayeLovelessMoon.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

live to the age of almost one hundred years. She died just two months short. I
thought that was a remarkable feat and probably someone in our family who lived
the longest.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, I tested that theory by running a search in RootsMagic
to see if I had anyone who lived to be over one hundred years old. And sure
enough, I got a return of six people. I will focus on my mother’s side of the
family. That brings the number to three.</p>

born on 1 March 1894 in Arkansas and died on 23 May 1998 in Seminole, Texas. He
was 104 years old.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My first cousin, four times removed, <b>Drew Oliver Welch</b>,
was born on 15 January 1865 in Copiah Co, Mississippi, and died on 1 January
1969 in Tyler, Texas. He was 103 years old.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My second cousin, three times removed, <b>Thelma Gladys
Welch</b>, was born on 3 February 1900 in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and died on 24
September 2002 in Erath County, Texas. She was 102 years old. I met Thelma in
the 1990s on a trip to Texas with my grandmother and corresponded with her a
few times. She had researched the Welch family and was a member of DAR.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That is some pretty good longevity! Uncle Huts beat them all
at 104 years of age. I hope I can have some longevity, too. As long as I am
healthy and have a sound mind.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Here’s mine: <br /></b>I have not looked at ThruLines yet, so this is a good
exercise. I decided to write this on <i>Mam-ma’s Southern Family</i> blog
because I haven’t written a post there in a while. Let’s look at the 3<sup>rd</sup>
great-grandparents on her line (my maternal side).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>George W. Lancaster (1839-1919) has 15 DNA matches. His
wife, Martha Jane Polly (1855-1932) has 17 DNA matches.</li><li>James Madison Coor (1833-1889) has 17 DNA matches. His wife,
Melissa A. Welch (1840-1876) has 17 DNA matches.</li><li>Jesse Loveless (1806-1873) has 31 DNA matches and his wife,
Elizabeth Nixon (1810-1876) has 31 DNA matches.</li><li>David Rodgers (1818-??) has 32 DNA matches and his wife,
Rebecca Waddell (1820-1879) has 32 DNA matches. These two were listed as
potential ancestors, as I probably had not included them in the tree I linked
because I do not know when they died.</li></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The one with the most ThruLines is David Rodgers and Rebecca
Waddell. Here is the screenshot of what I see when I choose David Rodgers.
Rebecca Waddell’s screen is identical.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-hjUF0timzJkYUcSeWq3gg0kT2DOk8AVCUkeNsWFUiSamdEzG8ccaKNcwomUzjPwp-hPZTmnQztJYrKUxAzGkrg2BFpGQ0cu7ZBTiGHBNfjsbSHuDFGGdB9or3F4vjADmG5tZCtHpgEk5_tWOkBKWgN9rfgyrtR2hT6ti_umrknxA852CtgToe92xmIRk/s1306/DavidRodgers-ThruLines.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="451" data-original-width="1306" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-hjUF0timzJkYUcSeWq3gg0kT2DOk8AVCUkeNsWFUiSamdEzG8ccaKNcwomUzjPwp-hPZTmnQztJYrKUxAzGkrg2BFpGQ0cu7ZBTiGHBNfjsbSHuDFGGdB9or3F4vjADmG5tZCtHpgEk5_tWOkBKWgN9rfgyrtR2hT6ti_umrknxA852CtgToe92xmIRk/w640-h222/DavidRodgers-ThruLines.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Here is the expanded view:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQiNQhAVBZZH4n3sHI2z2ymdgM01qBdiQ7WQNbg_kgoeejkumKLDxQ4ux6Xu7P1h0Dnyhik-mRUztDjAFL3Mk-NR0RZy30jtc3t8PulbzTjFpP1T-g7InRTMDoF9PpzuLdLB3LGMm7b8r-TLS_5uSe246HN6VRQXfqMtG5m_vzZDmwoqo3mp9XU8X1cru/s1295/DavidRodgers-ThruLines-expanded.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1295" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQiNQhAVBZZH4n3sHI2z2ymdgM01qBdiQ7WQNbg_kgoeejkumKLDxQ4ux6Xu7P1h0Dnyhik-mRUztDjAFL3Mk-NR0RZy30jtc3t8PulbzTjFpP1T-g7InRTMDoF9PpzuLdLB3LGMm7b8r-TLS_5uSe246HN6VRQXfqMtG5m_vzZDmwoqo3mp9XU8X1cru/w640-h358/DavidRodgers-ThruLines-expanded.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Most of the matches are through their son, P.K.

<p class="MsoNormal">As for accuracy, the children of the above-listed children
of Ebenezer are listed correctly on the ThruLines. I cannot vouch for the
private and DNA takers, but the rest seem correct. After I turn in my renewal
portfolio to BCG, I should use this family line and try to write up a proof
argument using the DNA data along with genealogy documentation.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div>Copyright © 2023 by Lisa S. Gorrell, Mam-ma's Southern Family, All rights reserved.</div>Lisa S.

and <i>FamilySearch</i>, I look for newspaper articles to fill in details about
their lives between the tax, deed, vital, and census records found for them.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Case in point. Many of my mother’s ancestors lived in Texas
and I searched recently to see if there were newer articles in the newspapers
in Erath County. I look for these at the wonderful website, <i><a href="https://texashistory.unt.edu/"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The Portal to Texas History</span></a></i>, which
has many digitized records. One of the largest collections is the Texas Digital
Newspaper Program. As of July 7, 2023, they have ten million pages.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span></span></a>
This website is hosted by the University of North Texas Libraries.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I learned something new about my 3x-great-grandfather, James
M. Coor, by searching in the newspapers of Erath County. There were two
articles in the same newspaper about his hunting abilities. On the front page,
we learned that he shot a buck that weighed 160 pounds and that he saw three
more bucks.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvDdRah2AiZMxB2VGqbzyug4OxY8kIMjlx3_y9tfQB67U6RtPBi-piZHihmfO4-3D_T4JAguJ1Hf1OiI2BAcl7DXz3nBlZi4cdsaXu8S6IlSXfnDA13ffCyxYXLn_PIFID1PHjnnOR7S_H_qqDtI6fAgFwMKGKlqfzd1vs0quKlyAHgo8RrLyl9PFlKsu/s736/1884-11-22_TheStephenvilleEmpire-P1-JMCoor-deer-crop.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="736" data-original-width="597" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhvDdRah2AiZMxB2VGqbzyug4OxY8kIMjlx3_y9tfQB67U6RtPBi-piZHihmfO4-3D_T4JAguJ1Hf1OiI2BAcl7DXz3nBlZi4cdsaXu8S6IlSXfnDA13ffCyxYXLn_PIFID1PHjnnOR7S_H_qqDtI6fAgFwMKGKlqfzd1vs0quKlyAHgo8RrLyl9PFlKsu/w325-h400/1884-11-22_TheStephenvilleEmpire-P1-JMCoor-deer-crop.png" width="325" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">On page 4, he was referred to as Capt.

wing shot in the county.” There were 52 partridges killed at his place the
previous Saturday.

Of course, we’re not sure that he shot them all. Perhaps he had a hunting
party. In 1884, James Coor would have been about fifty years old.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFHLeR-fIpPHsEcNtyQ_CoUo6to3nvj9KaRyDsotR-RO-Ak4QAvSvJqIfXdkSo-5J64JCjn9HkZaiGY6kE7oVi2iTJ3g6aRVzTOdXO_Yr7UDc1WmGjYTWAxDDpNe5md6NwNuRfZUVHX_yB4XYclEdFGxy2WlPVKQTjj6uZ80BheblXL2gQq4XY08IwAf6/s515/1884-11-22_TheStephenvilleEmpire-P4-CaptCoor-pheasants-crop.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="236" data-original-width="515" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAFHLeR-fIpPHsEcNtyQ_CoUo6to3nvj9KaRyDsotR-RO-Ak4QAvSvJqIfXdkSo-5J64JCjn9HkZaiGY6kE7oVi2iTJ3g6aRVzTOdXO_Yr7UDc1WmGjYTWAxDDpNe5md6NwNuRfZUVHX_yB4XYclEdFGxy2WlPVKQTjj6uZ80BheblXL2gQq4XY08IwAf6/w400-h184/1884-11-22_TheStephenvilleEmpire-P4-CaptCoor-pheasants-crop.png" width="400" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Another interesting item mentioned in the first article was
about Grover Cleveland. James would help celebrate if Cleveland won the
election. Cleveland was running for his first stint as President, running as a Democrat.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span></span></a>
This gives some insight into James’ politics. Most of the south voted for
Cleveland over James G.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Here’s mine:</b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">1) Lela Ann Loveless was
born on 2 April 1896 in East Fork Township of Faulkner County, Arkansas as the
youngest child of Ebenezer Loveless and Eliza A. Rodgers.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">2) She was just eleven
years old when her mother died in 1907.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">3) She married George
Warren Lancaster on 15 December 1912 when she was sixteen years old. Her
brother William Hutson Loveless married George’s younger sister, Josephine
Hazel Lancaster on 24 November 1915.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Bonus: Their children
were double cousins, and my grandmother, Pansy Lancaster, was very close to her
double cousin, Dorothy Loveless.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lela Ann is my maternal great-grandmother.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqa5p8ka3q1ldCgQpyftOr0id3qjgz4cGGmgFXrSNbEAETs8WxXkLFb5GJMd7lrfNuzL5gl3GXLMcJYvQftQzmSWEB_soOvhIN2OC0UUBoJ8jiwibFD4FJdLrw94PJAgicUmNnj-1AGJzGi35_RvTrwk5M7lHpC_J0XtRkD91GM0xyhxmhjw1xCdWhrfHt/s3072/LelaALovelessLancaster-crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="2416" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqa5p8ka3q1ldCgQpyftOr0id3qjgz4cGGmgFXrSNbEAETs8WxXkLFb5GJMd7lrfNuzL5gl3GXLMcJYvQftQzmSWEB_soOvhIN2OC0UUBoJ8jiwibFD4FJdLrw94PJAgicUmNnj-1AGJzGi35_RvTrwk5M7lHpC_J0XtRkD91GM0xyhxmhjw1xCdWhrfHt/s320/LelaALovelessLancaster-crop.jpg" width="252" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Copyright © 2023 by Lisa S.

Lancaster<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It is important to document
the lives of those who left no descendants. I have been researching and writing
as much as I can about family members who either never married or who married
but had no children. They have no descendants who will do the research or even
take DNA tests. But they will not be forgotten.</span></p>

Lancaster, my
second great-uncle, was the son of George Wilson Lancaster and Martha Jane
Polly. He was born 22 July 1887 in Phoenix, Maricopa, Arizona, the fifth child
of six.</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="font-size: 12pt;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
His parents divorced when he was five.</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="font-size: 12pt;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
His father moved back to Texas and Reggie probably never saw his father again.<br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Reggie’s mother married Noah
Flood Parks in 1893 and he grew up with two younger half-sisters. Sometime in
the early 1900s, the family moved to Imperial County, California, to do
farming. When Reggie registered for the draft, he was working at ranching. At
age 29, he was of medium height and weight and had blue eyes and brown hair. He
was still single.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a> I
have found no evidence that he served during WWI.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">He registered to vote in 1918
as a Democrat and lived with his younger brother, Jess.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
By 1920, he was living as head of household in Corcoran Township in Kings
County, California. His mother, Martha, and stepfather, Noah, lived with him.
Here, he was a cotton farmer.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Reggie married Eda DeLartigue
on 28 July 1920 in Long Beach, Los Angeles County. He was thirty-three and she
was a year older. This was Eda’s second marriage. Her residence was in Long
Beach while his was in Corcoran.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
How did they meet? Something we may never learn.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">In 1922, they both were
registered to vote, Eda, a housewife and Republican, and Reggie a laborer in Corcoran.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
Further voter registrations showed he was a farmer and their political
affiliations remained the same.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Sometime between 1930 and 1932,
they moved to Atascadero where he farmed. A newspaper article published in
October 1932 showed Eda purchasing a lot in Atascadero from Flora Ralston.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
In 1934, she owed tax on the property.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
In the 1940 census, he was listed as a carpenter for water works construction
but later voter registrations showed he was in ranching and they both were in
the progressive party.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
Perhaps he did both.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">When he registered for the draft
in 1942, he said they lived on South Highway at Atascadero in San Luis Obispo County
and he was unemployed. He was fifty-four years old. They had no telephone.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[11]</span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Reggie never owned land but
his wife did. She bought and sold several pieces of property in the 1940s. He
died on 25 November 1962 in a San Luis Obispo hospital. The funeral was held at
the Chapel of the Roses in Atascadero and he was buried in the Atascadero
District Cemetery. He was seventy-seven years old and was survived by only his
wife, Eda, and his half-sister, Rose.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[12]</span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Eda and Reggie had no
children. Eda lived another ten years and died on 16 January 1973 in
Atascadero.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/week24-Last%20One%20Standing.docx#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[13]</span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I wish I knew more about
Reggie. My grandmother only remembered his sister, Margaret, and had
communicated with her a few times. I think because he had no children, there
were cousins to remember him. His obituary was published in both the San Luis
Obispo newspaper and the Fresno paper where his brothers had lived.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Ebenezer Loveless, shows not a full beard, but a very full mustache and goatee. He is pictured with his wife, Eliza A. (Rodgers), and youngest child, Lela Ann, my great-grandmother (and Mam-ma's mother).<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I love this photo. They are nicely dressed, he in a suit and Eliza and Lela in their finest dresses. Lela looks about seven to nine years of age. She was born in 1896 and her mother died in 1907. So, this photo was taken sometime between those years. </p><p class="MsoNormal">They lived in Faulkner County, Arkansas. He farmed and preached with the Baptist church. I have a photo of him standing in Cadron Creek after baptizing several members of the congregation. It was given to the <i>Log Cabin Democrat</i> in Conway, Arkansas by Mrs. J.E. Loveless, wife of the grandson of Ebenezer. It was published in their column "Way Back When" on July 12, 1981. I have the actual clipping, given to me by a distant cousin, but I have not found a digital copy. These papers are not online anywhere that I can find.</p><p class="MsoNormal">#52Ancestors-Week 20: Bearded</p><p class="MsoNormal"><i>This is my sixth year working on this year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow (</i><a href="https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/"><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/</span></i></a><i>) at Generations Cafe.

family, but I can think of several smaller events that would be nice to be portrayed
in a movie, primarily so I could see their adventures visually. We don’t have
many photos and certainly not photos of their travels.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would love to see a movie about the travels of my southern
family as they traveled across the southern states, from North Carolina to
Texas. Depending on the timeframe, the travel might have been accomplished
using horses, oxen, or mules pulling a wagon of their goods while the family
members walked alongside. Later, after the Civil War, once railroads were rebuilt,
they may have journeyed by using trains.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do know that John Core, his mother, four sisters and two
small children, along with some enslaved people, traveled from Richmond County
in North Carolina through Indian Nation to the Western Country (which was what
would be Mississippi Territory). Also traveling with his family were Mr. John
Keayhey (which is likely Kethley), his wife, seven children, and three enslaved
people, and William and Henry Toler.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week16-Should%20Be%20a%20Movie.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They had to get permission from the governor of Georgia to
pass through the lands held by several Native American tribes. These passports
allowed them to travel through the territory. I wrote about their adventure in <a href="https://mam-massouthernfamily.blogspot.com/2019/10/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks-week-42.html"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">“52
Ancestors in 52 Weeks – Week 42: Adventure: Traveling from North Carolina to
Mississippi Territory in 1811.”</span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To get from North Carolina to Mississippi near present-day
Jackson, they would have had to travel through Georgia and the area that would
later become Alabama before arriving in Mississippi. There was a road called The
Old Federal Road. This road started out being used by the military for troop
movement during the Indian Wars. After the Louisiana Purchase, this road was
the main way for settlers to get to southwest Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
and Louisiana. Before this road, people used a path through the Appalachian
Mountains to the Natchez Trace, but this new road would cut off 500 miles.
However, settlers had to obtain passports across the Creek Nation. This road
was also used to deliver mail.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week16-Should%20Be%20a%20Movie.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
There was another Federal Road called the Georgia Road, that passed through
Cherokee Nation lands.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wouldn’t a movie be a wonderful way to view the trials and
tribulations the families had to take to get from North Carolina all the way to
the southwestern part of the Mississippi Territory? I wonder how long it took.
They received the passport in December 1911. Did they travel through the winter
or wait until spring to begin their journey through the Creek Nation? What was
the terrain like? Forested? Swampy? Were there many rivers and creeks to cross?
One account I read said the Creeks collected tolls to cross the creeks and
rivers until bridges were built.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, it would make a great movie.</p>

(1839-1919), my 3x-great-grandfather. Born in Missouri, he lived mostly in
Texas, except for a stint in Maricopa County, Arizona, where he purchased
federal land and then abandoned his wife, Martha Jane (Polly) and family. He
and the oldest son, William Carleton, returned to Texas.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to know why he left his family. The divorce gives only
Martha’s side of the story, that George left them. After getting the divorce,
she married Noah Flood Parks, a farmhand on their property. Was that the

caught, likely at Clear Lake where they had a cabin in the town of Nice. Mam-ma
always prepared the fish by rolling them in cornmeal and egg and frying them.
Oh, so delicious!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, I have never been fishing, so I don’t know much about
how to catch catfish, what bait to use, or where the best place to find them at
Clear Lake. I never asked my grandfather about how he fished. He may have fished
from a boat.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I found a website that gives tips on fishing at
Clear Lake.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Lisa/Documents/Gen-Family/0-Blog-posts/2023_52Ancestors/Week6-SocialMedia-NewspaperSocialNews.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
Besides catfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, white and black crappie,
bluegill and sunfish, and perch can be found in the lake. I learned that
catfish prefer warmer coves but are also found near marinas. Live bait, cut
bait, or dough bait can be used and some of the best baits are chicken livers, hotdogs,
anchovies, mackerel or sardines, and even night crawlers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this photo, we can see he had a successful day of fishing.
This is taken at their home, so I’m not sure if he fished at the lake or
somewhere else. I wonder who had the chore of cleaning them.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXSO0GCUve2-iFcDgdb4O_6dIWWfLCG3nPpTFSYYBiXFRRaqYTnRioyAPThuye4Wyg55Bjmdpeov3921l-UpCNaFf2TRxuXHt_YdqF9WZHcWS_llbV0PW5Z6qh3szT8MJ0aNMY-KGYy46jAmkXgxYq23iJwZx9Qtkps8bgo6XfuKiJQ3EkAtRgiUumA/s757/1949-House-307NancyLn-Pansy&Tom-fish-crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="757" data-original-width="556" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWXSO0GCUve2-iFcDgdb4O_6dIWWfLCG3nPpTFSYYBiXFRRaqYTnRioyAPThuye4Wyg55Bjmdpeov3921l-UpCNaFf2TRxuXHt_YdqF9WZHcWS_llbV0PW5Z6qh3szT8MJ0aNMY-KGYy46jAmkXgxYq23iJwZx9Qtkps8bgo6XfuKiJQ3EkAtRgiUumA/w470-h640/1949-House-307NancyLn-Pansy&Tom-fish-crop.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">#52Ancestors: Week 7: Outcast (A little stretching of the

Coor’s Children are Listed<div><p class="MsoNormal">There is a wonderful database available at <i>FamilySearch</i> if
you have Mississippi ancestors called “Mississippi Enumeration of Educable Children,
1850-1892; 1908-1957.”<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span></span></a>
I have both Coor and Welch families who lived in Copiah County during that
first time span and decided to check out this database.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, before using the search box, I clicked on the “How to
this Collection” box, which takes me to the <i>FamilySearch Wiki </i>page about these
records.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span></span></a>
Anytime a new database comes up, it’s a good idea to read up about it. I’ll
find out what localities are included, what I would learn from the records, and
why the record was created in the first place. This is helpful in case I don’t
find my family listed in the return hits.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What I learned<br /></b>It was suggested that these records could be used as a substitute
for birth records. These listed both white and black students and included the
names of the parents and children. They were compiled yearly and helped local
governments with funding needs for schools.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also learned that there may be restrictions on viewing
some of the images because of contracts. Likely, viewing may be available at a
local FamilySearch Center if not viewable at home. The Wiki article also had a
nice list of other school records that are hot-linked.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">State-wide registration for births didn’t begin until November
1912 and wasn’t generally complied with until 1921, so these records can be another good source for birth year.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Time to Search for Coor<br /></b>I was successful in locating Coor children for the year 1878
in Copiah County.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span></span></a>
This year, in this location, the parents’ names were not listed. The seven Coor
children were listed in the district called Brown’s Store, the same locality as
the 1880 census of the James M.

<p class="MsoNormal">Another family was found, the children of James’ brother,
Rufus K Coor and his wife, Mary J Sones. They also lived in Brown’s Store

<p class="MsoNormal">Another Coor family was in Gallman district. This is the
John Coor (b. 1820) and Sarah Ann Hilburn family, who were cousins of James M.
Coor. Four children were listed: Fedrick, age 19; Dicy Ann, age 17; Theodore,
age 11; and Sallie, age 9.<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
I can account for Frederick, Dicey Ann, and Sally in John and Sarah’s household
but who was the boy, Theodore? In the 1880 census, there is a female named Dora
who is listed as 13, which makes a good match for Theodore.<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>

we know which children in the household were of school age. Did they in fact attend
school? Checking the column in the 1880 census, I can verify which were listed
as attending school.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the Mary J. Coor household, Gabriel, Rufus R, George M,
and James L, were all listed as attending school.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the James M. Coor household, Dempsey, Irma A, John E,
James R, Mary E, and Martha attended school.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the John Coor household, only Dora and Sarah attended
school. Frederick was now 21 and working on the farm.</p>
