ditto what Linda said Allen...
I've learned there's an awful lot of folks on these lists who take
themselves just a wee bit too seriously... :-D They seem to think that any
conversation that doesn't directly include their chosen surname or "line"
just isn't pertinent.
The occasional "off topic" conversation, although quite ~human~, often
interesting, AND perinent to becoming a more well-rounded researcher is, at
times, considered by some to be a sort of unpardonable sacrilege BUT we
press on!

Question? In the days they named That (stream?) Why would a stream be
named Deep River? A stream to me is a Branch. And does not quilify for a
river.Could someone be wrong.Sometimes the Govt.channges the course of a
river.The head of the Flint Rivers course was changed to suite the City
of Atlanta when the New Terminal for the Atlanta International Airport
was built.It did (I think) run back into it futher down stream.

Linda ,
Not sure if the Morris or Tacker/Tucker were Scot--- possibly Scot /Irish. My
grandfather said that they were Irish but after viewing a family biography of
the 1800s it was stated they were English so I assumed that they were in
Northern Ireland with all the Scots. I do have many Scot and Scot Irish ancestors
most came thru NC in the 1700s from PA to NC. and some in VA. Here are some
surnames I don't know for sure which counties a lot of these people came from so
maybe some one else can help m
Hi Marilyn,
I do not know of a professional researcher, but I am a member of the North
Carolina Scottish Society, and we have a meeting tomorrow of the Board of
Directors and I will ask them for a name and contact point. Will get back
to you as soon as I can. Do you know what county in North Carolina your
Morris line traces to?
Linda

I have some experience with Scotch-Irish (Ulster Scots), Scottish and Irish
surnames and looked to see if Parchman and its variants is Scotch-Irish.
No luck, so I've written to somebody who knows a great deal more. If I find
out something, I'll post it to the list.
Best regards,

nothing rings a bell except a cousin I think Doc Watsom lived for a
while with some watsons in MS.All I can remember was talk of all the
snow and i was very small. Guess everyone can tell I am new on a dern
computer and at 70 I still don't like them.If I find all the watsons tho
I will.
Thanks Charles,
I know where they went. They apparently moved to Allegheny County, PA about
1769. One of the 3 sons of Nicholas (Peter) raised his family there. Two
brothers (Philip and John) went on to Robertson County and Stewart County,
Tennessee by 1789. Some descendants of Philip moved to Mississippi, where
one sold the land for Parchman Penitentiary and Farm in 1900 to the state
and was the first warden. Other Descendants of Philip went on to Texas,
where his grandson was the youngest defender (
Don't think so but if I find anything.On secand thought there is watsons
in North Cherokee Co Al.They say we are not connected. You might try
writeing WATSONS CHAPPEL around Centre,or Cedar Bluff. Had forgotten
about them.So many folks around there changed their names just because
they didn't like them.
One uncle changed his from V.King watson to V .Columbus watson.an aunt
Emmie pelemia,Changed to Pamela.Their kids didn't even know.I had to
swear to secercy.its a mess.
In my lifetime.Sometimes a Dictionary just doesn't describe the Southern
way of talking. A slue is a marshy area.As a gully is a ditch.So water
starts out with a branch,then a creek,then a river.As a kid the Creek
was the most fun.

Hi Mike, this is very helpful. I could be mistaken but I think a kill
as in N.Y. like you say from the Dutch, is as you describe it but I find
that most kills that I find have a small water drop or fall - rapidly
running over some rocks. Thanks Again!

Patricia -
Appreciate the information on your Morris side. I was curious about
Isaiah Jr.'s son, George. Do you happen to know who he may have married
and what county in TN he was born in?
Thanks for sharing - Marilyn
