There is another Davison that was married the year before in Delaware County, Indiana. Hoping that there was a link between them, but there doesn't appear to be. No death record for Andrew and I'm not entirely sure the information on the headstone is correct.</p>

<p></p> The search for R. Matthew Stanley in the 1900 and 1910 Censustag:www.genealogywise.com,2011-02-16:3463583:Topic:3237202011-02-16T01:12:22.070ZKhathuhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/AaronDorsey
Hello, I have been trying to find my great grandfather R. Matthew Stanley (1878-1932) for quite some time in the 1900 and 1910 U.S. Census--I have hit a brick wall. I am able to find him in other records such as WW 1 Draft Registration, tax roll, marriage and divorce records during the time period in question in Cass County, Texas. However, he is not showing up on the census. Currently, I am only able to locate him on the 1880, 1920 and 1930 Censuses.<br></br><br></br>In addition, on those various…
Hello, I have been trying to find my great grandfather R. Matthew Stanley (1878-1932) for quite some time in the 1900 and 1910 U.S. Census--I have hit a brick wall. I am able to find him in other records such as WW 1 Draft Registration, tax roll, marriage and divorce records during the time period in question in Cass County, Texas. However, he is not showing up on the census. Currently, I am only able to locate him on the 1880, 1920 and 1930 Censuses.<br/><br/>In addition, on those various records his name varies from R.M. Stanley, R. Matthew Stanley and finally to Matthew Stanley. My grand aunt informed me that the R represented Roach. He dropped Roach altogether by 1920. <br/><br/>Below is a list of records I have been able to find on him in Cass County, Texas.<br/><br/>1900 Tax Roll - R. Matthew Stanley<br/><br/>27 Apr 1900 Marriage Certificate - R. M. Stanley and Mary Warren<br/><br/>1902 Tax Roll - R. Matthew Stanley<br/><br/>1903 Tax Roll - R.M. Stanley<br/><br/>15 Sep 1909 Divorce Record - R. M. Stanley<br/><br/>19 Dec 1910 Marriage Certificate - Matthew Stanley and Malissie Sampson<br/><br/>12 Sep 1918 WW I Draft Registration - R. Mathew Stanley.<br/><br/>I know it is the same person because on the divorce record his son Herbert Stanley is mentioned and on the WW I Draft Registration his second wife is listed as his next of kin. Plus there is no other period in the area with that name.<br/><br/>I have examined the 1900/1910 Census on microfilms at the National Archives and online examining neighboring counties as well. <br/><br/>Any assistance that the board can provide in assisting me would be greatly appreciated. <br/> Underwood in Hamilton County OHtag:www.genealogywise.com,2010-08-17:3463583:Topic:2795292010-08-17T05:01:18.460ZLeanne Hildebrandhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/LeanneHildebrand

<p> </p>
<p> By the time Morgan's Raiders went through in 1863 my G-grandfather Albert had been born (1861). lthough they did not harm his mother a few of the raiders stopped at their farm and forced her to prepare a meal for them. Apparently it scared her so badly she died within a few days of the event. (Or so the family story goes). At any rate most of the children were farmed out to neighbors - some never saw each other again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Goal is find the ancestors of my John P. Underwood. In 1850 and 1860 there were other Underwoods living in Green Twp. all of them listing their occupations as Cooper. Oddly one of the other Underwoods is also named John and is about the same age as my John - possibly cousins ?</p>
<p> I'm beginning to think he might have been adopted - no available genealogies seem to cover this family</p> Desperately Seeking Willis Chandlertag:www.genealogywise.com,2009-09-25:3463583:Topic:1821452009-09-25T20:43:56.232ZJulie Wingatehttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/JulieWingate
I am searching for any information that could help me shed light on the parents of Willis C. Chandler born 28 December 1807. South Carolina Census records say that he was born in South Carolina. The first record that I have found shows Willis signing as a witness to a Codicil added to the will of William Devenport (also an ancestor of mine) between January 1840 and July 1842. The Codicil states that Devenport purchased a tract of land from John Kirby and his children were to divide said land…
I am searching for any information that could help me shed light on the parents of Willis C. Chandler born 28 December 1807. South Carolina Census records say that he was born in South Carolina. The first record that I have found shows Willis signing as a witness to a Codicil added to the will of William Devenport (also an ancestor of mine) between January 1840 and July 1842. The Codicil states that Devenport purchased a tract of land from John Kirby and his children were to divide said land equaling among themselves. The 3 witnesses were listed as Lewis H. Shumate, Nimrod Donaldson and Willis Chandler.<br />
<br />
On 12 October 1845, he and his wife Leanna Campbell Chandler joined the Fork Shoals Baptist Church in Greenville County, SC. They are listed as “RWD” in the church minutes, which means “received without detail.” No children are mentioned in the church minutes. Leanna Campbell is the daughter of John Richard Campbell and Virginia Jane Barnett.<br />
<br />
Willis and Leanna had 3 children. Mary Jane (26 April 1837- 19 May 1884) married Mark L. Davis. Sarah Ann “Annie” (23 April 1841- 1 April 1874) married Frank M. Austin and is buried at Fork Shoals Baptist Church. My great-great-grandfather, Pinckney Lafayette Chandler was born in 29 December 1842 and married Susan Elliotte Vance (granddaughter of the William Devenport I mentioned earlier). Pinckney died on Christmas Day 1868. His only child, my great-grandfather William Vance Chandler was 17 months old.<br />
<br />
Willis remained in Greenville County until his death 13 February 1887. He and his wife Leanna are buried at Fork Shoals Baptist Church. She died 15 January 1876. He was active in the church and served a many committees. He appeared as head of household in the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 South Carolina censuses (in the Oaklawn Township) as well as the 1860 Slave Schedule. His name appears in the Greenville County newspaper “The Southern Enterprise” on 8 September 1869 when serving on the grand jury. He appears in the 1843-1844 Greenville City Directory, as a land owner in the Fork Shoals area.<br />
<br />
I have been unable to find him in the 1840 census or at any time before witnessing Devenport’s will between 1840 and 1842. I have been in contact with a few of his daughters’ descendants and they have no information on his parents. I have been told that he may be the son (along with Allen, Josiah and sister Rachel) of Henry Chandler, grandson of William Hampton Chandler of Greenville County, SC but have found no proof for my Willis or the others. I have long suspected that he and Allen Chandler may be brothers or first cousins but have no definite proof of that either.<br />
<br />
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have in determining a family for my Willis. Thank you in advance for your help. Information on Susanna Lewis - Henrico County Virginiatag:www.genealogywise.com,2009-08-20:3463583:Topic:1439762009-08-20T01:35:55.461ZAnita Willshttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/AnitaWills
This is an elusive ancestor that I am desperate to identify. She was born about 1750, possibly in Henrico County or The City of Richmond Virginia. She was probably identified as a Mulatto and her surname may be Lewis (she was also married to Charles Lewis). She married Charles Lewis around 1783, and they resided in The City of Richmond, where he was a businessman at Rockett's Landing. The confusion comes with the number of Charles and Susanna Lewis who were married in that area.<br />
<br />
Any assistance…

My Great Great Grandmother, Kate Ida Ellis Napier. I know about her, but her father is listed as Whit Ellis on her death certificate. She lists no mother on there. Kate was born 10 Jan 1879 in Crisp County, Georgia. And she died in Frost Purth, Polk County, Florida on 22 Feb 1959.<br />
Any leads on her mother and father are greatly appreciated--As of right now, all I know is her fathers name.
