I would invite my 6th Great Grandfather, Casper Bleiler (Plyler) who came
over from Switzerland and settled in Pennsylvania and his children later
moved to the North and South Carolina area. He started out with his wife
Maria and 3 children. He arrived in America with only the 3 children. It
would make for an interesting Thanksgiving dinner.
And yes, Sheryl, he is the 4th Great Grandfather of the Molsey (ie) Plyler
that married your Samuel Rowell. I would love to have any information about
your Samuel
There is also an excellkent book, 'REEB ROOTS In Europe and America,"
compiled by John V. Reeb, edited by Nell Taylor Norwell, pub 1994. It
documents the Reeb/Rape family from 17th century Europe through 18th century
America. The first documentation is of Johann Nicholaus Reeb c. 1620
Germany, through descendants to PA, NC, SC, TN
Also, 'THE RAPE FAMILIY TREE," by Nell Taylor Norvell, pub 1983. This
traces the lineage of Peter Rape of Mecklenburg Co, NC (1760-1825).

Louise,
Don't worry about it, you and your brother have helped me over the years.
The VA state archives has a massive collection, also the state historical
society. Hanover is part of the Richmond metro. The Valentine Museum,
where I did my internship, also has a massive collection. I am friends with
the curator of manuscripts and photographs. Oh, the state archives also has
a nice bible collection. So I will check there too.
Do you know what part of Hanover your relative is from? Sure wish we could
;-) this is a joke,right?
Hi, we finally have a Massey DNA Project up and running , please look at
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~mandaley/MasseyDNA.html
we still need many more "male" Massey DNA contributors to make this dna
research a success. If you are a female Massey, you can still help, by
talking to your male relatives, such as cousins, brothers, uncles or father;
looking forward to hearing from you,Eleonore

That's easy; I'd invite Robert Snipes and his wife Martha to have dinner with me. He was b. abt 1770 (location unknown), but he a
I'd really like to invite my 4xgreat-grandfather, Henry Shute, Sr. (b 1766 -
d bet 1797-1819) and ask him where in the world he came from!! Was he
really born in Germany or is that just speculation? And what is his
relationship to Jochiam & Gottlieb Schutz who were born in Germany and are
all listed on several legal documents with Henry?? Besides his son, Henry
Jr., who were those other 6 children that I have no idea as to their names
or where they went!! And last but not least, I'd like to warn him to
OK, I'm a little behind, but this could be a good one! It's really kind
of hard to decide who to ask -- and actually, I'm not really sure if any
of the ones I'm thinking of are Lancaster relatives. That would be one
of the questions to ask! Just where exactly did you live????
But the relatives I'd most want to visit with right now would be my
great-great-grandfather, James Hunter, and his first wife, Dora.
They've been a totally brick wall for ages, until this past weekend when
a new cousin was able t

Since we are inviting ancestors to our Thanksgiving Dinner this year I'd
also like to have Mary Deason over for dinner also. She is the wife of Joel
B. Small. I don't know anything about Mary so there are many questions I
have for her. I don't know who her parents were or where/when she was born
or died she seemed to have appeared and disappeared too. She is my 2nd
great grandmother. She and Joel had 10 children.
I love giving our ancestors invitations to Thanksgiving Dinner this year.

Thank you for posting this information. I didn't find any relatives, but it's really fun to get a glimpse into the lives of our ancestors' neighbors. And for those of us who don't have access to these old newspapers, it is a rare opportunity which is as close to time-travel as we're ever likely to come.

Penny, thank you for your interest. My missing great grandfather died in or
about 1879 we believe in Union County, NC. My grandmother told her children
that her daddy died when she was seven years old, that is how we calculated
the year of death. There are on SC death certificates for that time frame.
I would love to get hold of old church records for the area of Monroe,
Waxhaw and Mineral Springs. We know that Henry R. Rape was born in 1830 in
this area. His father, John Rape, built the Arbor at Mineral S
What a wonderful topic! My guest would be my great-grandmother Nancy M.
Belk. She is the keeper of many, many family mysteries. Her husband,
Lawrence Dunlap died a couple of days after the Battle of Gettysburg where
he was injured. Nancy collected pension on him until she died. I have all
the documentation on this. Nancy had four children after he died and she
gave all of them the name of Dunlap.... one of these kids was my
grandfather. I have not found documentation that she remarried, even on her

I'm looking for the parents of my ancestor Elizabeth BARKLEY, who married William PENNY ca 1776. Does anyone recognize this early Lancaster County family?
One possible father is John BARKLEY, born in Ireland in 1720, served in the Rev. War as a Major, and died in Lancaster Co. in 1796.
I have one reference, an article written by Mabel Trott FitzSimons, saying that John was m. to Agnes ___ [Margaret GREY in another record is shown as his wife]. Children listed are sons

Dear 3rd great grandparents Samuel Smith Huey and Sara "Sally" Hagins Huey.
Please join my family for dinner and to celebrate your 186th wedding
anniversary (29 Jan 1817 in Lancaster Co. SC). Samuel, I would like to also include
your parents, but, Sarah, would you please invite your parents and siblings?
I think your parents were James Hagins and Jane Ross but I would like to know
for certain. Sarah, were your siblings Jane who married John Nelson? Joseph
who married Nancy? Margaret who married
I would invite my Grandmother Maud Ada Vincent Bowers. I never had the
pleasure of knowing her. She passed away at the young age of 36. Many
say that I favor her and I'm proud to say that I see a resemblance too.
Grandmother Bowers died
when she miscarried her 8th child. I would love to have her join us and
meet my family and see my Mom again. My Mom was
only 4 years old, when her mother passed. It would be wonderful to get
to know her and have her meet my family. She was the daughter of

Hi,
I've been thinking about this question for a little
while now.
I would invite Solomon Poer and William Kennington and
Susan Poer Kennington.
By the 1840's Solomon Poer was a widower living in
Bowie county, Texas. But, he had moved to Bowie
county, Texas from Lancaster county, South Carolina.
>From what I've been told he was making a visit to a
daughter in North Carolina. He started on that trip
and never came back.
I would really like to know how far he did get on his
trip.

I'd invite Drury Watson (1740-1829) to my Thanksgiving dinner. Drury
Watson was born in Prince Edward Co. Va in 1740. He came to live with his
daughter Susannah and her husband, James McKnight Morrow, at an unknown date
but it is known that the Morrows were living on Six Mile Creek in Indian
Land by 1788. Watson was in Lancaster County at least by 1804 as shown by
court records.
Drury might have some war stories to tell. He was a lieutenant in the
Virginia militia in 1779-80. But, since he was know
I would invite my great grandmother Mary Jane Howell. She was born in 1846
one hundred years before me. She was a daughter of William and Mary Howell
of Lancaster, SC. She married Henry R. Rape on Dec 23, 1860 in Lancaster.
She and Henry had five children Margaret Mary Frances, William I., Samuel
D., James L., and Mary Armentha. The last mentioned was my grandmother. I
have never been able to find the burial place of Henry Rape and would love
to ask grandmother Rape where she hid that man! Also their sons W
I would love to invite Hosea Scott (1811-1890) for Thanksgiving dinner.
Perhaps he would clarify who his parents and siblings are.
He was a brother to Timothy Stroud and Marion Hopkins(?).
They were indentured to a Douglas family till the youngest came of
age and then they returned to the Scott Plantation(?).
What tragedies befell their mother? Who was his father.
His only son was William Murdock Scott.
Happy Thanksgiving and blessing to all.
