So many people have said to me "don't you have better things to do with your time then drag up the past?" I tell all of you now, I do, but I don't.
My father, Duel Glen Going, was only 5 years old when he lost his father, Alonzo Stubblefield Going, to Typhoid. My grandmother, Pearl Cathern Holt-Going Phillips, then took her 4 children and moved to Oklahoma and there was very little contact between her and the "Going" family. Therefore, I never knew this family and very little was ever spoken of them.
My feelings are, in each family, someone is called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and feel that somehow the "old ones" know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before me.
I feel I am the story teller of the "GOING"(plus many more surnames)tribe. I feel I have been called as if it were by my genes. Those who have gone before me cry out to me: "Tell our story." So, I'm trying. In finding them, I somehow find myself.
For me, it started on a beautiful November day in the 1980's. I stood in front of my Grandfather Alonzo Going's grave in the Masonic Cemetery, Pocahontas, Randolph County, Arkansas, and asked him, and all the other family gravestones around him, "Who were you? Where did you come from? Why didn't I get to know you?" With tears streaming down both of my eyes, I looked up into a cloudless sky of blue and vowed, at that very moment in time, I would not stop until those questions were answered.

 | Hello
Hello Shirley,
You have done a great job with your family's story. I was just browsing for relatives, and no we are not connected, but I just found your memorials so loving and informative. I hope someone does one for me someday, I'm in no hurry, as well as you have done.

Would you please check your Memorial# 87409429 for Priscilla Smith Stout. I'm wondering if the spouse you have listed is really her son. If you look at the dates she would be 39 yrs. older than him. I've have no problem with her being a cougar, but...it sems unlikely.
When I checked the Barnhart Survey there is a William M. Stout (8 Oct 1828-7 Apr 1914) buried in Roach Cemetery that seems more likely to have been her husband.
I'm only interested because her brother, W. Campbell Smith, is my 2nd great-grandfather. Just trying to work through my family tree. | | | Mary Bob McClain

Shirley
I got this e-mail from Larry Johnson
Can you agree with the information or let me know what you think?
Mary Bob
This Mary Ann Looney is in fact Mary Ann McGuire, daughter of Patric McGuire of Maury Co, TN. If you calculate her date of birth from the inscription on her grave you will find that she was born 1 Nov 1815. Based on this, there is no way that she could have been married to Col. David Looney of Sullivan County, TN who died about 1802. The David Looney that she was married to was David Looney, son of Abraham Looney, grandson to Col. David and Mary Ann McClellan(d) Looney.
Mary Ann McGuire married David Looney 19 Aug 1831 (age 15) and their children were: Patrick 1832, Abram 1834 and Elizabeth 1836. You can find David Looney in the 1850 census of Memphis, Shelby Co, TN with a new wife, also named Mary, and these children by his first wife, living with him. By 1860 David had moved with his family to Louisville, Jefferson Co, KY with only one of his children by his first marriage, Abram, still living with him.

Hi Shirley.
I wish I had taken typing or at least learned to check my messages before sending them out. I meant to type that I had her dying in '1971'. I think I remember seeing husband Linn as being a widow in 1940 but saw this other listing that I thought was Loretta with a 2nd husband and thought maybe she left Linn and re-married.
If it's possible I would like a copy of her obit. If you wish you can send it to my regular email below. In the mean time, 'keep searching'.
Regards, Mike

Thank you SO much!! | | | Heather Coin
| RE: Bertha Coin
It would Issac Willis. I know he's buried there beside her, he was her 1st husband, and also my gpas grandfather. After issac passed away in the late 30s or early 40s she remarried to her daughters brother in law (which happen to be my gpas uncle, it's a big mess lol). And thank you sooo much!! I knew where they was buried I just couldn't ever find it because the head stone fell over years ago, or atleast that's what my great aunt told me. | | | | [View all messages...] |
