I think this Joseph/Josiah might be a brother to my "Mary" Frances Carter Irby..They may have come from Halifax Co. VA, but it seems that Joseph's wife name was Elizabeth. If any one out there knows about this family, please comment..…

I followed Catherine Davis' suggestion, but could not find the software in their store under centennia. Suggestions?
Linda Graves replied to Robert C. Johnston, Jr.'s discussion 'Col. Elijah Clarke and The Georgia Militia' in the group American Revolutionary War Ancestors
Thanks for the information on the Carter line...was hoping you might know back to Va. I'm researching my fifth great grandparents b. c. 1728 (Joseph Irby) and "Mary" Frances Carter b. c. 1727 or after. They lived both in Halifax Co.…

I've been to the Battle of Kettle Creek. I don't believe it is on the border to SC. Any one out there who knows for sure. I do think it may have been in a neighboring county to SC...or nearby.

Ms. Gerry Hill, your post is quite interesting to me. There are several names that are also in my family, mainly surnames.
My fifth great grandfather, Joseph Irby b. 1728, was killed in the Massacre of Hayes Station led by the Tory Bloody Bill…
Linda Graves replied to Nelda L. Percival's discussion 'What Germanic surnames are you researching (Please list Surname - area and time frame)' in the group Germany and German Ancestry
I am researching the name of Freudenberg which is now known in the US as Fridenberg. As far as I can tell in 1850ish Frederick Freudenberg came from Pulvermuele, Germany. His wife who he married one month after coming to the US came from Suhl,…

Thank you for the history of Suhl. I printed it out. I also checked the map, but could not get my berings on exactly where it is located....will keep studying...have a friend very familiar with Germany's geography....will check with him also.…

Hi Linda,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I didn't get an email message telling me that you had posted again, and I confess that I haven't looked at this discussion topic in a while.
To use mapquest outside the US, I google…
Linda Graves replied to Ms. Gerry Hill's discussion 'John Collinsworth- from Va to SC to Ga' in the group COLLINSWORTH
Gerry, thanks so much for replying. I was so overwhelmed when I read all the info you have on your John Collingsworth. I printed out your info to study. As the early Methodist preachers were mainly circuit preachers, I would not be surprised if my…
Linda Graves replied to Linda Graves's discussion 'Fridenberg of USA but Freudenberg in Germany: How do I search Germany?' in the group Germany and German Ancestry
That is a very good suggestion, if I knew how to do it. I tried Mapquest but couldn't get out of the USA. I then tried other sites in Germany, and found several Pulvermuhles. I have no idea which one is the right one. I tried to figure out…
Catherine Davis replied to Linda Graves's discussion 'Fridenberg of USA but Freudenberg in Germany: How do I search Germany?' in the group Germany and German Ancestry
Linda,
I found 5 entries on Mapquest for Pulvermuehle, Germany (note: ue is the same as the oomlauted u in German), but it was very difficult to tell from the map if the Pulvermuhles were villages, streets, monuments, etc. I checked my German…
Fridenberg of USA but Freudenberg in Germany: How do I search Germany?
As I am new, I am unsure if this is the forum to post this query, but I'm going to try. My ggg grandfather, Frederick Freudenberg b.c.1826 came to the USA c. May 2, 1857 from the best I can tell...from the residence of Pulvermuehle in Germany. I have searched maps of Germany and cannot find this location. Can anyone help me with this? This Frederick was a farmer. If I've got the right person and the right ship, the port of embarkation was Bremen. This is the person who matches his age. Another…See More

Linda Graves replied to Ms. Gerry Hill's discussion 'John Collinsworth- from Va to SC to Ga' in the group COLLINSWORTH
Would this John Collinsworth be a Methodist preacher? The reason I ask is that my gg grandfather, John Collinsworth Treadway (b. 1813 m. Rebecca Chapman) was a Methodist, or at least I think the family was Methodist. I've tried to figure out…
