He could have been a grandparent that fought in that war and transported afterwards. Was it the Criminean or Preston Pans. ?
thanks..

How I Get the Most Out of GW
There are so many groups now and that is a good thing, but as I stated in my previous blog, you just can not check out every one of them.
If I were new to GenealogyWise, after I set up my page with the surnames I am researching, etc, I would go to the groups main page. Then I would start researching all the surnames on my list. You will see in the results, not only the group which is about that surname, but the other groups where a comment has been left about that surname.
I would also search… Continue

My 2-Cents on Using GenealogyWise
I have noticed several people who have their profiles set to private or their comments moderated. This is always a bit amusing to me because it sort of defeats one of the greatest tools and advantages of joining GenealogyWise and that is the ability to make connections and thereby expand your research or break down a brick wall.
On general sites such as My Space or Facebook (both of which I am a member), I certainly understand setting your profile to private,

- No, sorry. My Gray ancestors were in Anderson County at Antrim (no longer exists) and Elkart, Houston County north of Grapeland close to the Anderson County Line, and in San Jacinto County in and near Cold Springs (spelling, now), TX. Some of them are buried at the inaccessible Kyle Cemetery near Elkhart and many more at the Antrim Cemetery in Houston County. Good luck with your Grays.
I have not found much information about the Antrim Community in Anderson County. Have you?

I look forward to researching with every body and getting to know folks from other walks of life, and who knows ... might just find some relatives in the process.
Have a great day!!!

- Yes, we have Weatherfords from Kentucky and Tennessee. There is also family lore that we are related to William (Red Eagle) Weatherford; however, we have not been able to establish the link. We have a very old Weatherford Bible. I am a member of the DAR in San Francisco and have traced back family on both sides to the Mayflower and Revolutionary War....still are many branches of the family to research. Where are your Weatherford's from?

Carol Boling Short said… - Hi Sherry,
Sorry for the delay in saying thanks for the birthday wishes. I have been dealing with a lot of health issues, one being post polio problems, and I need a knee replacement but have to get some weight off for that so I've not been able to get on the computer and check all the sites I signed up for, this being one of them.
Hope all is going well with you and yours and I pray y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I just posted some of my family history on the Jones side so if you see anything that may somehow connect, let me know.
Have a great week
Carol

What can change for the better your story,
This will be a milestone in his life, Jesus says that great and his blessing.
Do not be anxious your heart, rest in God
has a lot of patience and I promise, do not worry
Do not be fooled by adverse circumstances.
when we think that it is difficult to the Lord Jesus comes
To put your hand.
He specializes in doing great things
In favor of whom put his trust.
Do not give up says: I am winner.
have a nice day.
