I'm a Homesite Acreage REALTOR in Montgomery County, Texas...working on my Family History when I can...joined F-A-G not long ago and have already had alot of success, I think this is great and would like to applaud all involved!
I am also a Member of the Class of 1979 at St. Frederick CHS (Go WARRIOR'S!) in Monroe, La., and have begun a new project...gathering F-A-G info for all our deceased ALUMNI....and would like to THANK all my fellow WARRIORS for any assistance!!
NO WARRIOR LEFT BEHIND!
...and now I've been vol-recruited by the 75th Ohio Inf (yep, YANKS!), to help get all members of the original CW Regiment located &/or memorialized! This was the unit in which a GGGrand-Uncle, Capt. Thomas J. Wheeler (#22988649) served with until his death in 1863...he died of multiple GSWs inflicted on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg!
NO WARRIOR LEFT BEHIND!
On 1/19/2011 my father, CMDR Thomas J. Powers passed away suddenly....upon hearing the news I immediately sat and began his Memorial (Find A Grave Memorial# 64427239) which I posted to F/B as I was unable to speak of it on the phone. He was very proud of the work I had been doing on Ancestry & F-A-G, both for the Family...and for the "forgotten" CW Vets! He had just visited "Chancellorsville" the day before his death and purchased 2 books for me there, one was "The Last Days of Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson"! RIP Dad.
NO WARRIOR LEFT BEHIND!

SUMMER 2011...Frank & Jesse James CAPTURED!
In my TREE!!! My Dad died suddenly in Jan, leaving a lot of unanswered ???s on his maternal side as his mother had died just after his birth, and her mother died when she was only 4, and her mother, when she was 22....3 generations all died young!!? Then a 2nd cousin of Dads found me thru F-A-G, who provided a lot of new info that sent me up several of his "lost" maternal lines and resulted in several surprises such as his GGG-Gpa was GEN Jesse Cole Lindsay (KY Militia)! I was excited with this till I discovered his sister was the Grandmother of FRANK & JESSE JAMES....making me their 2nd (4x's) Cousin!!! Then also there was my GGG-Uncle, COL John Anthony Lindsay (CSA-Ark), #75652636, who served GEN Sterling Price in the 1864 MO Campaign as his Guide!!! I finally found those REBELS in the woodpile I've been in search of all my life...in SPADES!!! Iiiiiiieeeee!!!
My Dad never knew any of this....DA*N!

 | RE: WEBSTER
I am the one who has corresponded with you before, Vince. I am "Ard Webster" on ancestry. Glad to connect again. Were you born in CA? I was born in Whittier in 1948. Are we about the same age? Are there any other Websters still in CA? My sister lives in San Diego and my brother lives in Atascadero. Talk to you soon! Take care. pam | | | PAMELA BAKER
| RE: WEBSTER
Yes, Augustine is my 4th great gg, too! His son Isaac Augustine, the one who stayed on the homestead in Chester, Ohio, is my 3rd gg; his son, Gilbert George is my 2nd gg (he was on homestead until he was injured in Civil War and had to sell farm); his son Morton is my gg (he was a judge in Pomeroy); his daughter, Ard, was my grandmother. Which son or daughter of Augustine are you related to? Small world. You're in Oklahoma, aren't you? We're in Texas. Cousins, I imagine. My parents moved from Ohio to California (where I was born) and my husband's work (scientist/doctor) brought us here. Our genes must have a "move west" in them somehow.
Take care. Let me know if you have any old pictures!! Did you know one of our cousins passed away here in Texas a couple years ago (Gilbert George's ggg grandson)? He was a surgeon down in Houston. There are probably more around here, but haven't located any so far. Talk to you soon! pam | | | Karlen Joyce Gillilan Smith

 | RE: Stella Ducker
Sorry to say I did not know Stella Ducker. None of my teaching was in Webster County . . . all 32 years was in Iowa. When I was going to country school in the 1950's, we had a county superintendent. I think Webster County continued to have a county superintendent until recently with an office in the Webster County Courthouse. I wonder if a letter to someone at the courthouse there in Red Cloud might answer your question. Good Luck in your search! | | | Ben Tilford Calvert

| Pvt Robert H Madden
Hello; Pvt Robert H Madden born in Tennessee married in Dickson Co TN to Eliza Jane " Nicy " GREEN having children- His children did not know of their father due to his death in 1863 and mother died before 1880. Eliza Jane Green is in my family Green line. May I ask Where it states he was a Deserter ? My records do show he died in a hospital as a POW in 1863. His son is James Albert Madden which never married and is buried in Dyer Co TN with no headstone and on Find A Grave which they need to be connected as Father and Son if possible. I have a lot of the same family stories as you and my great grandfather told me stories of his father having family encounters with Frank and Jesse James ... my Grandmother was a PRICE...Thank You.

 | William Rand
Vince, will you please delete your entry for Pvt William Rand Find A Grave Memorial# 68829431 in Carbondale Township Cemetery? There is no such cemetery, it is a mistake on Find a Grave. When death certificates say "Carbondale Township" it just means the municipal cemetery, which at the time of his death was Woodlawn. Unfortunately, your entry is a duplicate of an entry for "W. E. Rand" that was previously entered at Woodlawn. He is definitely there, and I posted the picture on both memorial pages. I am trying to get everyone moved out of the Carbondale Township cemetery page on this website so it can be deleted. Thanks for your help. | | | Freda
