RE: Kizzie Ida Frances Burden Gunter
Hi Barbara,

Thank you. I look forward to whatever you can share. This is one branch of my family that I have only recently started making progress.

I found a pedigree record on familysearch.org earlier that shows Andrew Jackson Gunter having a sister named Nancy. So, this gives us 3 siblings to work with:
Andrew, Mary Jane, and Nancy Gunter.

The death date for Andrew Jackson Gunter on that record, however, is incorrect. I have a copy of his death certificate, too, and he died in 1927.

Andrew Jackson "Andy" Gunter was married to Annie Black, my great-grandmother. My daddy called his grandmother "Big Mama". She was a major presence in my daddy's life due to the on again/off again relationship of my grandparents.

Andrew Jackson "Andy" Gunter (I refer to him as "Big Papa" since my daddy used "Big Mama" for Andy's wife) was buried at Cokesbury cemetery in Cokesbury, GA, which was in Hart County at the time of his death.

Maybe between the two of us, we'll be able to track down an old newspaper with Kizzie's obituary. The Anderson County Library has many of the old newspapers on microfilm/microfiche. I live in Texas now, so have no access to those records at this time. We'll find it whenever it is meant for us to. :)

I look forward to hearing from you again. Have a great night!

Your sis in Christ,
Suz

Kizzie Ida Frances Burden Gunter
Hi,

I'm sorry if you get this twice. My browser glitched as I hit send, so I don't know where my message to you actually went.

Anyway, I am a great-great granddaughter of Kizzie Burden Gunter, through her son Andrew Jackson Gunter and his son Andrew James Gunter through his son (my daddy).

I was so happy to come across your memorial for Kizzie and to see a picture of her! Are there any pictures available of her husband John and his grave marker, too? I would love to see any pictures that you have of our family.

Thank you and have a great day, cousin. :)

Your sis in Christ,
Suzanne Gunter McClendon

Amos Fleming Downey
Barbara

I am the 2nd great grandson of Amos Fleming Downey and Permillia Ann Summers. I am descended from their daughter Martha Jane Downey who married Samuel Wesley Neidigh II. They removed to Labette County, Kansas in 1892.

Do you have any other information on the Downey or Summers families?

Did Amos serve in the Civil War? I noticed a military inscription on his stone.

Do you know when he founded Downeyville.

I was at the Star Cemetery in 1976 and photographed the stone of Henry L. Neidigh, the brother of Samuel Wesley Neidigh II but never seen
any of the Downey graves. WOW!

Chastain ...
Barbara - See you have a Chastain connection. I'm also descended from the Chastain family. It's possible we could be "cousins."

Goodhope Cemetery
Hi, Barbara.
From Anderson, SC, take Hwy 81 south to Iva. In about 12 miles, turn right on Parker Bowie Rd. Go about 1 mile, turn left onto Cemetery Rd. Look to the right and you'll see the cemetery. About half the graves are weather-worn and unreadable. Hope you find the ones you're looking for.

RE: Armstrong
I have no idea who they might be. I haven't been able to find many clues at all. Thank you for looking through your tree for her.

Armstrong
I would love to know more about your Armstrong family. I have an ancestor named Nancy Armstrong, born in 1806 in South Carolina and died in 1870 in Pickens County. She married a Singleton. I was wondering if she could possibly connect you your Armstrongs since she lived near them.

Thanks

Downey
Hi Barbara,
I added photos of the grave of Amos & Permilla Downey. While doing so, I notice that it is recorded that they both died in Adams County, Indiana. Did they die in Adams Township, Decatur County, Indiana?

Have a great day.
Judy

Re: Joe A. Coker
Hey, Barbara!
I don't really know anything about Joe. I was out at New Prospect filling a request for someone else, and I just took pictures of some of the headstones to put up. I could go check him out at the library when I get some time, though. Are you not from around here?
