Hyde or Hide Family Line
I' m researching Samuel Hyde or Hide (1784-after 1860) of Wilkes County, Georgia. He was married twice,to Caty Gibson (1788-1832) of Warren County and later to Jane Orr (1802-?) of Jasper County, Georgia.He moved his family to Winston County, Mississippi about 1840. I cannot find his parents or his origins. I read somewhere that Georgia was a debtor state and some early settlers had to work the land to payoff their debts. Is there any information or index with names of the these settlers?
Jean Hyde replied to Jean Hyde's discussion Unmarried Couples in the group Ancestry Family Tree users"Thanks for the advice. I did add them as a spouse, but I wasn't sure if this was correct.
I didn't see any other choices."
David Lee Penfold replied to Jean Hyde's discussion Unmarried Couples in the group Ancestry Family Tree users"Hi Jean,
I think i'd add them in as a spouse than go to add a fact, than under the marriage is
custom event. Punch that then you can type in never married and the date they got
together and any other notes you may need."

- What is your level of genealogy knowledge?
- Intermediate Family History Researcher
- For what reason did you start genealogy research?
- My family consists of uncommon surnames and I always wonder where did my family come from. All I knew that my family came from Mississippi and had very little information on my ancestors. I have been researching since 1994 and came across information on ancestors that didn't exist before. My research has been rewarding; connecting new found relatives and making new friends.
I always thought Feemster was an unique name especially for an African American family. My mother's maiden was Feemster and her family came from Noxubee County, Mississippi. Her parents were Charles and Mattie (Harmon) Feemster and they had five children. Their children names were Henry, Mary Elizabeth,Bertha, Charles and Mattie Feemster.
Charles or Charlie Feemster married Mattie Harmon in 1926 in Noxubee County, Mississippi. I'm still trying to pinpoint who was Charles Feemster. I did find a Charlie Feemster on the 1880 census living with his parents, John and Mary Feemster. This Charles Feemster would be too old, he was born in 1878, My grandfather was born in 1898 and the only male Feemster I found was a JT( nick name?) Feemster born in 1898 in Noxubee County, Mississippi.
My grandmother, Mattie Harmon was born in Noxubee County, Mississippi in 1900 to Jesse and Hannah (Jones) Harmon. Jesse and Hannah had seven children including my grandmother, Their names were Sarah, Susie, Charley, Fannie, Mattie, Henry, and Wesley.
Mattie Harmon Feemster separated from her husband, Charle Feemster about 1940 and moved to St. Louis, MO with her children. She died in August 1984 leaving thirty grandchildren and a host of great grandchildren.
I'm not sure how my family acquired the Feemster name, because the Feemster settlers from South Carolina that moved to Lowndes County, Mississippi were abolistionists.The South Carolina Feemsters did have slaves, but it seems this is one of many families that were divided with the issue of slavery. I cannot find any Feemster slave owners on the 1850 and 1860 for Lowndes or Noxubee Counties of Mississippi.
I did come across one James Feemster that was living in Noxubee County, Mississippi about 1830 with his family. Two of his sons, James and Robert Feemsters died in the Civil War as Confederate soldiers. Could this James Feemster be the slave ower ?

Reading a Census
My main problem while researching my family tree is reading a census. First, I didn't think some of my family members were on any census. This was due to bad handwriting, wrong birth years and misspelled names or incorrect surnames. I had to take one census year, for one county and searched page by page to find lost ancestors.My great grandmother name was Quantillia, her name was misspelled Guantillia,Quantellia etc.My grandfather's surname was Feemster. The F looks like a fancy written H and I… Continue

- Hi Jean:
You wrote, "My brickwall is my 2nd great grandmother, Josie or Josephine Spann ... Is there anyway, to find the maiden name of your ancestors?"
There are lots of ways to find maiden names! I left a message just above your comment on the Most Wanted wall, hoping you'll copy your challenge to a Most Wanted discussion. (Click Here to start a discussion). It's just so much easier for you and others if we we can thread replies. Thanks for supporting most wanted. --GJ
