I definitely will join that group. I can't get past just the first name of my greatgrandmother Ida Bell. Her first name is Lizes. That's where my ends. I think that Ida Bell had a brother named George Thomas Bynum and John Wesley Bynum and a sister named Marthey Coline Bynum. My greatgrandmother Ida Bell married Robert B Pate and there daughter Eva Iona married my grandfather Oscar Rogers. They're all from Tennessee. That's all I know about the Bynums and I'm not even sure if that's right or not. They are very hard to find any information on. We must be kin. Thanks, Regina. Sarah

Thanks for letting me know about the Rogers family. I have a tree on ancestry, do you have your Rogers on ancestry?
Thanks Regina. I'm an avid ancestry.com and Legacy user, so I collect all of the census records I can handle. Nat Bynum is the name that I believe held my family of Bynums during their days in S.C. I traced it to the 1860 slave schedule and the genders and ages match up to Joseph and his family roughly. That's hardly conclusive, but the best I can probably do online.
All of that said, census dates and places have been known to be inaccurate. If you have any information from your family's records during that time period that references a slave named Joseph or Ceasar (his middle name) and you are willing to share; I'd be eternally grateful.
Either way, thanks for reaching out and your note.
My 2nd Great Grandfather (Joseph Bynum Jr.) listed his father and mother's place of birth as S. Carolina. I've not been able to find him listed in the 1870 census and I'm sure you a familiar with the challenges associated with African American ancestry before 1870.
Thanks, Regina, So glad to hear you won a tote bag. My Montgomerys actually belong to my ex-husband, and are based in Louisiana, but since it's so close to TX, you never know. I have practically NOTHING on that line, only know that Lydia Montgomery was b. abt 1869 and she married Isaac Dronet abt. 1902, probably in Lake Charles, LA.
Ida's and Joseph's children's names were: Ruth Bertha Smith Crawford, Amanda Bell Smith Bostick Arthur, Clara Joe Etta Smith Thigpen , Lillie Mae Smith, Allen Smith, James Edwin Smith.
I wish I could take credit. I have delved very little into my mother's line(s)...they are so mixed up. Much of this came from two cousins who have done the research. Ha...
I couldn't find any of your Hefner's in the info that I have handy, but I have a larger database I'll go check...we may find your Hefner's in there! I'll let you know.
Regina- I don't think there is a connection between our Montgomery's. Mine our in Ohio, Iowa and Kansas. Allied surnames include Randall, Riddle and Wolfenspargur
Too bad-it would have been nice to meet a new cousin!
Hi Regina, Possibly a connection---Montgomery is my mom's maiden name, and she was raised in the East Texas area (Henderson, TX). I know that she has a family history book I need to look at for more info. I believe she has told me that "her Montgomerys" came to Texas from the Spartenburg, South Carolina area. Any connection, you think? Leslie
James Polk Hefner (b: 1841) married Evaline Rena Hoover (daugher of Cain Hoover and Susannah Keister). They lived in Anthony's Creek, Greenbriar, Virginia/West Virginia.
This Hefner line comes from Nicholas Hevener b: 1738 in Koblenz, Germany.
James Polk Hefner (b: 1841)married Evaline Rena Hoover (daughter of Cain Hoover and Susannah Keister). His parents were: James A. Hefner and Mary Ann Wade from Anthony's Creek, Greenbriar, Virginia.
This Hefner family had been in Pennsylvania before they migrated to Virginia/West Virginia. Before that, the Koblenz, Germany area. Nicholas Hevener (variant spellings on the name) was the first to come to America.
Regina, had to check 'cause I'm not too familiar with my Montgomery link. What little I do know goes back to David Montgomery who married Mary (?). They were prob. born mid-1700s. Their daughter, Rebecca, married Benjamin Todd....they were my 5th great-grandparents. I show Benjamin was born in Rowan County, NC and that Rebecca's mother was born in VA. Nothing else on them as to where they died. Though I show Benjamin Todd died in GA.

I just spotted your note. Are you familiar with the Crewe DNA project? Worldwide...have connected with DNA cousins around the US and Nova Scotia.
All of that said, census dates and places have been known to be inaccurate. If you have any information from your family's records during that time period that references a slave named Joseph or Ceasar (his middle name) and you are willing to share; I'd be eternally grateful.

How are you related to the Bynum family ?
My Bynum ancestors are from Tennessee
Sandy
