McCORMICK, CARMICHAEL, DAWKINS and GARRETT. My g-g-
grandparents, Daniel and Nancy McCORMICK CARMICHAEL, migrated
from Richmond Co.,NC, first to Alabama where they stayed a few
years, then to Union Church, Jeff. Co., MS, probably in the late
1830's-early 1840's. The McCORMICKS and CARMICHAELS
immigrated from the same area of Appin, Argylleshire, Scotland,
in the late 1700's.

You just made my day or shall I say night. I do want to thank you so
much. These two boys suppose to of been given to a family by the name of
Joe Mayes with the new information I was given by a new cousing in
Colorado just about a week ago. (I knew nothing to that point) I didnt
know of a girl though belonging to Richard Findley. But then I am fixing
to get the rest of the data on this ,this week. How do I get that

By an act of the MST Legislature, in Extra Session in 1805, Jame Dromgool was
divorced from his wife, Franky, on July 24, 1805.
In "Becoming Southern", Jame and Franky lived near the present Memphis, until
he went to visit Nashville on business. When he came home he found Franky had
sold their property and moved south, behaving in a fashion not consistent
with a married woman.

Nancy,
I am doing much research in the Jefferson County area. As far as I know,
Rodney is considered a part of Jefferson County.
Hope that helps.

Diane,
Looks correct to me, except the name of Elizabeth Dromgoole should be
Mary Elizabeth Dromgoole Martin, b. 1827 and d. after 1880 in Jefferson
County.
Does anyone have the names and dates of birth for Mary Elizabeth's
siblings???

Diane,
I can't find my software to view my marriage CDs to see if there was
another marriage listed for Frankey Alston Dromgoole. It was on the
computer that failed recently and I'm still searching. I suppose I
could load FTM and look at the CDs but this has limitations and I would
rather keep looking until I find the old GRS software. Frankey is listed
as Mrs. Franky/Frankey Dromgoole in land claim 561for land on Burrow's
Creek in Jefferson County, signed on 12 March 1804.

Nichole, I don't have cemetery list but history of the church. The one
pamphlet does mention a few outstanding members and it covers all the
pastors. Another is just two pages of research notes of my grandfathers but
it is very interesting as it tells a little more on the church history. I
will be glad to send you a copy of the above. Send me your snail-mail
privately (sorry no scanner yet).

Nancy, I don't know about the death records. However, my grandfather Allen
Washington Duck was the Presbyterian Minister at Rodney from 1916 to 1923.
I have a small pamphlet he helped put together on the history of the church,
and a recent Oxford American Article on Rodney. I also have his research
notes that I've shared with a few on this list. The Presbyterian Church at
Rodney is now owned by UDC and they have
greatly restricted allowing people inside. They do have a caretaker that

Yea, but he sure did get married quick after the divorce. What do you think?
He claimed Frankey sold all his property while he was gone. She had

In looking thru this pamphlet I thought I would go ahead a post a few names. Published 1955 by Presbyterian church. I have posted this to Amite list also since some of these surnames looked familiar to some Amite families. I can give the complete reference if needed.

Since I am researching relatives in Jefferson County, would you mind sending

it very much.

George & Dorothy,
Your both a great help. Seems that James Dromgoole m/2 Jan McKey in
Jefferson County on 14 Aprl 1808. It would seem the Miss Eveline
Dromgoole, b. abt 1807 and d. 25 Jan 1852 tht lived with the family of
Richard Valentine and was buried in the Compton Cemetery must be a
daughter or James and Jan. Did they have other children?
For James Dromgoole & Frankey Alston I have the following children: (not
sure of order)
1) Mildred
2) John McCoy b. 1790
3) Margaret (Margurite)
4) Philip G.
Hi All,
I have been going checking my records and have become confused about these
early families. Does anyone have information on Martin, Stampley and
Dromgoole families 1850 and earlier?
I am trying to figure out the parents of Elizabeth Dromgoole (born about
1827) who married Martin Miranda Martin (born about 1820)?
Thank you,
