Tonia Kendrick commented on Tonia Kendrick's blog post Where Was the Wyatt Lankford Family in 1860?

"Hi Kate, sorry it took me so long to reply. I do have the 1850 census you mention and I think that is likely the correct family. I've looked at that 1860 census numerous times. The mother's name being "Lestilla" is what throws me…"

Native American Background?

My grandmother’s grandmother was Mary (Patterson) Whitener. Family legend has it that she was at least part Cherokee. Mary was born in Ellijay, Georgia in 1869 and married William Whitener there in 1883. They lived in Murray County, Georgia in 1900. Sometime between 1904 and 1907, they moved to Oklahoma. According to my grandmother, they moved . . . → : CONTINUE READING See More

Mrs. Hemphill’s Sheep

This amusing anecdote refers to my five-times great-grandmother, Elizabeth (Patton) Hemphill. It is part of a series of Biographical Sketches from Burke County, North Carolina that were written by by Col Thomas George Walton (1815-1905) and were first published in the old Morganton Herald in 1894.“The HEMPHILLs of Silver Creek and Old Fort emigrated from the North . . . → : CONTINUE READING See More

Murray County Marriage Records

I visited the Murray County Probate Court last week and came away with nine copies of marriage records.

Where Was the Wyatt Lankford Family in 1860?

This week I’m looking for ancestors of Leaty (Lankford) West, whose gravestone I found several weeks ago. I have her parents as Wyatt Lankford and Morning Tabitha Bruer.“Wiet” and Morning Lankford were enumerated on the 1880 Census in the Alaculsa District of Murray County, Georgia. I feel somewhat confident that these are Leaty’s parents, because they are . . . → : CONTINUE READING See More

Anna (Keller) Albright Headstone

Anna Maria (Keller) Albright is buried in the Old Brick Church Cemetery in Alamance (formerly Guilford) County, North Carolina.
