1. [LDR] Mouring Rings [1]
Wondered if anyone on the list could give me some help with understanding a term used in an old 1700's will. One of my ancestors was given a mourning ring and it appears that it was paid for out of the estate of the deceased. I never heard of this before, can anyone help me to understand what this meant. Thanks, Joyce
2. [LDR] Re: Mourners Jewelry [1]
I just saw a show on TV called "Appraise It". A lady had brought in a pendant that belonged to her ggrandmother. I was identified by the style as a victorian piece known as a Mourners Jewerly. The front of the pendant had an urn on it, that was a popular design during the Victorian Era. Inside the pendant was a baby picture of the deceased, and a picture of husband. The estimated year the peice was made was 1880-1900. It appraised for $650. I'm going now to chech out my grandmother's belongings s
3. [LDR] Rev. War, Col. Wm. Whittington [1]
I hope that one of the 'nightingales' on this list might help me in this problem. I recently learned that I am descended from Col. William Whittington, born about 1740, died bef. 1819, and his wife, Priscilla Polk. My problem, is understanding his title of Colenel. I can find no record of this man in any Revolutionary War database. If he were an enlisted man, I would not be as surprised in not finding him. I expect, and assume, that Officers were recorded on a more consistent basis. If anyone has any inf
4. [LDR] Rev. J. H. Daugherty or Rev. J. M. Mitchell [1]
Hello List: Do either of the above names sounds familiar to anyone? I have ancestors married on 12/151886 by the Rev. J. H. Daugherty and another married on December 3, 1891 by a Reverend J. M. Mitchell. Would anyone know which churches these ministers might have been connected to - thank you for any help- Ahlive
5. RE: [LDR] Mouring Rings [1]
My 2 cents (again!) - for all you stamp collectors out there, there were also "mourning covers." Envelopes or folded letters that were sent through the mail with some type of mourning indication which usually included the stamp being placed upside-down in its position. Sincerely.

11. [LDR] The Fate of the Fassitts [1]
Received this the other day after posting a "Help!" type message on the Dubuque gen list. While most of the info simply confirms what we knew, Dr C.R.'s age is given, the tidbit about poison is new as well as the "Colonel" Thomas Fassitt. Another lesson is that it helps to check newspapers in areas where siblings went since they did report out-of-town news. What's a little odd is that the oldest and youngest in the family died within a month of each other. << I am located in Dubuque Ia. I have develo

15. [LDR] Parents of Samuel Parsons [1]
I am trying to find the parents of Samuel Handy Parsons. He was born in Worcester County Md. 9-4-1831 in Worcester County Md. In 1838 the family moved to Marion County Iowa. I believe he had 2 brothers, James S. b. 1828 and Benjamin Minos b. 1834. I would appreciate any information anyone might have on this family. Thank You Chuck Parsons
16. [LDR] Nicholites [1]
I found a copy of the book on the Nicolites by Kenneth Carroll in the Wicomico Room of the Wicomico Free Library in Salisbury. There is supposed to be another copy of the book at the Snow Hill, Md. Public Library as well. I hope that will be of help to anyone looking for a copy of this book. Unfortunately, the book can't be checked out from any of these libraries so you'll have to visit there to read it. - Kye Parsons
17. [LDR] Re: mourning rings [1]
>From what I've read about mourning rings, the family of the deceased gave them to all the mourners at the funeral and to the clergy, who would often end up with dozens of these rings. I don't know what they looked like, or what they were made out of, and would be curious to find out. Has anyone a mourning ring that was passed down in their family? During Victorian times, I believe that they made rings out of the deceased's hair, and also wore jet brooches with the hair as a remembrance. Jennifer

21. [LDR] John A. Franklin, Pocomoke City [1]
I want to find out if my mother has a half-sister or other relatives. We know very little about her father's family. My grandfather John Archibald Franklin was born in Pokomoke City 1889-1890. He had a brother named Walter. His parents were John B. Franklin and Anna Corbin. Anna died before 1900. John B. remarried, moved to Baltimore City and had a second family of many children. My grandfather stayed behind with a grandparent--I do not know which side of the family--who had a farm and was supposedly part

Dear listers, I've faithly read your posting for months now and love all the news BUT where are the people researching the RESPESS family of Northampton Co . and Accomack Co.? They were in that area abt 1600-1700 and some remain there even today. My special interest is in one THOMAS and RICHARD RESPESS who came south to NC in 1755/56/57...They paid taxes in Bertie County NC for those three years and hence to Beaufort County .......living here and leaving descendants of which I am one...

Message text written by Janmim@aol.com > it is my understanding, at least 1660s in Accomac >county,that sheriff was paid out the fines and taxes he collected. Yes. Very true. And held accountable if the books didn't balance or if he failed to meet deadlines for getting the revenues into the county coffers. I have one example of the Sheriff of Somerset being arraigned himself for irregularities in tax collection that looked like skimming, but which he claimed was just the sloppiness of bad help. Whatev

Hello Everyone..this is very belated and accept my apologies, First I want to thank all of you who responded quickly with the fact that Venus is the star, and I need to get myself a copy of Bob Ryan's book. Second, I have begun reading "The Friendly Virginians: America's First Quakers" by Jay Worrall, Jr., which I find interesting as I have ties to Quakers pretty much all over Virginia, and frustrating from that same point of view because as with most history books it is skimpy on names. Anyway, Wo
