Bio and Links
Bio Photo Born/reared Abilene. Army, one tour in Vietnam.

Began researching my families 1970 with an interest and a few questons a few years earlier.

My lines Stevens, Oglesby in Miss., La., Tex. Robinson, Dyer, Brigance in Tenn., La., Tex.

Worthington, Caster in Ill., Tex.

Reynolds, Goodman in N.C., Miss., Tex.

Derden, Abercrombie in N.C., Ala., La., Tex.

Morris, Sharp, Clayton, Anderson, Mathis, Mayfield in Tenn., Tex.

I have my dna with www.familytreedna.com for Ydna, Mtdna and Ftdna. Recently added my autosomal dna to ancestry.

Of my entries of memorials, any relative closer related than me, ask and it will be yours.

I don't understand why someone not related to a person they enter for a memorial would not transfer them to a relative.

With memorials in my name, I've had many distant cousins contact me.

Bryan Waddell
Alice Waddle Jenkins 1869-1941
She is my 2nd great aunt on my father's ( Waddell) side. We are also descended from the Oglesby's. Her mother was Cynthia O. from MS. I would like to know any info you have on the Oglesby fam. Great mystery surrounds Alice and fam. as their parents both died in TX at the close of the Civil War. They remained not returning to Oglesby or Waddell family members in MS but were adopted by their maternal aunt Liza already in TX in 1868 or so.

RE: Ritchie
Merle, Please use the "Request A Photo" tab on the memorial for the request. I am curious how you tie in with the Vaden Family in Smith Co. Tennessee. My Great Grandmother was Mary Mollie Dyer who was the daughter of Apollas & Sarah Myers Dyer. Mary married my Great Grandfather, Rev. William Thomas Vaden.
Thanks,
Cecil

She is 6th cousin of my husband. Our connection goes back to Ezekiel Fuller and Deborah Spivey.

Not close but a cousin just the same.

Do you know where she is buried at.

Thanks

Annette Ditto
