Wanda,
Relax, this is all about having a good time seeing where you came from.
The Robert Moore will was published in the Green Co. Review, looking right
now for the Volume and issue when I find it will submit to the group.
I suppose that even the Review could make a mistake, ain't likely though.
It don't really matter, for those of us that descended from 'Sarah Whoever
Chaudoin have the knowledge that she bore a dozen children with a
clever and fun loving husband that was able to accumulate a nice estate,
part of which is still visible from Chaudoin-Cox road at Summersville.
We know that her surviving children were supportive and helpful to the
end of her life.
We know that she had good genes, lived a long and fruitful existence.
She also may be responsible for the warm, caring, intellectually stimulating
family that followed her.
Get well Wanda whatever it takes, we of YOUR family will be praying
for a good recovery from all of your health problems.
Cousin Bob
JUST A REMINDER:
Please remember to change your subject if it isn't a reply to an original
message when using "Reply to Sender". Also, please delete some of the
unneeded "garbage" at the end of the e-mail you receive when responding.
Keep quoting of the last e-mail to a minimum, but leave a little if it
pertains to the message to which you reply. That helps the readers know
exactly what e-mail is being responded to, and also they won't have to "wade
through" all the extra. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello, All,
What a great offer, Chris. I'm sure many out there are interested. Thank
you for the offer.
May I request that if you contact Chris about his offer that you contact him
directly at his e-mail address: Christopher Herndon at cherndon(a)san.osd.mil
. Don't forget to send him your snail mail address.
Maybe if Chris is willing, I can get it scanned, and put on the CHAUDOIN
Homepage.

No the pension papers are her husbands pension, and this was done in open
court, and testified by Francis Chaudoin, Jr. as being the widow of Andrew
Chaudoin. I have never sent for his pension papers as this was not my line
directly and it was Gertrude Chaudoin line she thought, but took ill before
she could get around to it, or so the kids said, and she had a whole shopping
bag full of letters and mail and documents, which her daughter kept and then
daughter moved to Myrtle Beach, N.C.
Gertrude died and I have not been back to Green CO, since I was there 1982
1987, when I left to return to my family. I had been back before that but
not to Green CO, all my line spelled the name different and are all living in
Pulaski CO, KY or buried there. Still have kin alive there. Westie GS
Dear Cousin Wanda, I am the complier of the book Chaudoins of VA. Please let
me explain, there is a man who lives in a near by town that stipulated he was
a cousin of the Chaudoins and he was a past president of there society, I
believe he said the same thing as what you wrote. The will is Bk. 1, page
40-41 dated 29 July 1808. I loaned him all the books of Green CO, and he
didn't find what you stated as fact, but if you have a copy of the will then
please send me a copy and will revise the book.
thanks so much. Westie GS

That might be O.K. but who put it in and what is there source. I have all
the books printed for Green CO, KY. I have checked this out and there was a
Robt. Moore and I checked all the children he had and he was of the age which
would be the age of Sarah's Father, but not so, she was not of that family.
Sorry. Westie GS

Hi, Dixie,
Thank you for sharing this information concerning Benjamin CHAUDOIN.
Benjamin was my husband's ancestral grandparent. Appreciate your time and
trouble. If okay with you, I will post it on the RootsWeb Biography
Bulletin Board, and give you credit as the transcriber. Please let me know
if this is okay with you.
I still have some to post that Bob Righter has given me permission to share
and post. Didn't get it done this summer. It was a busy one with
granddaughters visiting/living with us for 4 months, but hope to clear away
some of these things that need to be taken care of.
Thanks to all who contribute. If you'd rather post it yourself to the
Bulletin Board, go to our homepage at:
http://home.att.net/~davehancock/CHAUDOINline.html and access the Bulletin
Board from there. If not, I would be happy to post it for you, if you are
willing.

Amen! Amen! Thank you Audrey and Bob for such appropo, succinct replies to a
subject that needed to be addressed. I almost never reply to anything like
that, and will let it go now - but, I'm very glad to know there are
wonderful, caring and knowledgeable Chaudoin cousins who share their
expertise with us who are still struggleing for every bit of family
information!
A Chaudoin "cousin" in San Diego
Betty Barnes Elias
BEEandJAC(a)aol.com
Gloria and Interested Cousins,
It appears that I again must address this problem with you and the COPYRIGHT
law with others because of your (Gloria's) comments. As in the past and
numerous times (see CHAUDOIN archives), I have discussed this same thing
with you.
It appears because you (Gloria) have written a book that you see yourself as
the exclusive owner of all CHAUDOIN information, irregardless of the many
other seasoned researchers who like you have collected their information for
years. Many of these other researchers HAPPILY give of their OWN
information, or the information that has been set down in their family lines
for years. It's out there for the public just like you (Gloria) found it,
and one DOES NOT own it or have a COPYRIGHT to public information, nor
information shared between families. According to law, you own only YOUR
format of the written information, and anyone has the right to share their
finds, their documentation, their interpretation, their research, just as
you (Gloria) have. Many kind researchers choose to share it FREELY via this
forum, rather than in a book format. Information found in books may be
paraphrased and excerpted and expanded, but we should always credit the
author as the source.
If there is "utter confusion", as you state, it may ALSO result from some of
the items that you have recorded in your book or you have shared, and other
people/cousins are willing to SET IT STRAIGHT by adding what they know to be
true. They wish to correct some of the FALSE information or misinformed
information by being helpful, not critical. As you indicated in this and
your next e-mails that you did not give total "documentation", which is
certainly understandable baring costs, PLEASE do not begrudge others the
right to ask or share what they can to help family members connect to their
roots. You even stated that some of your information results from just
THEORIES, based upon YOUR preponderance of information.
This forum exits to help others, and I am sure it has helped you SELL your
book, but the innuendoes that you make are, again, out of line. Again, it
is your prerogative to be helpful or not contribute information. I see you
as a gentle, kindly lady who wishes everyone to know the CHAUDOINs.
As the author of the book "CHAUDOINS of VIRGINIA", I would hope that you
desire to make corrections and clarify details that others find
questionable. Communications that you understand clearly may not be
understood by another. To me, this does not take away from the value of your
book, but shows others that the author is truly interested in a true picture
of his/her genealogy, and thus the book is a valuable tool for the
foundation of their CHAUDOIN family ties, and that they can build, research,
and reaccess the information from there.
As we know, nothing in genealogy is totally true unless we ourselves know it
to be true. Even what we consider to be legitimate public records are full
of errors...censuses, death records, birth records, gravestones...many being
a result of the erroneous information supplied by the ill-informed family
member or supplier of the information or written wrongly by the recorder.
If anyone is interested in genealogy sites and thus URL sites to the
COPYRIGHT laws, please access my homepage...
http://home.att.net/~davehancock/HelpfulURLs.html .
I think everyone's intentions are genuine, especially genealogists and their
desire to find their family connections and help each other in one format or
another. I have been a researcher of my & hubby's various families for over
35 years, so like many of you, I want to collect information as fast as I
can and from the many resources, because I recognize life is precious and
short, and I want to leave a record of those gone before me for my
descendants. I am indebted to those researchers who have laid the
foundation via their hard work and research, so that I can build from there.
However, I also have shared freely with others my many years of research via
my homepages. Now, I do not want to dwell on this topic any longer.
So...please let's not carry this any further.
Gloria, I hope you are now well and fully recovered, and that you had a
wonderful trip.
Do take care all.
Love and Friendship,
Audrey

Amen cousin Audrey.
Having said that, I can understand Gloria's territorial stand with regard to
her book.
It was for her serveral years of researching and paying researchers to gather
stuff
I never got close to. I too have been doing family history on the Chaudoins
for
35 years. I have seen some small articles done on my former webpage
copied and displayed later by others as original research. Its not a nice
feeling,
the pilfer didn't even sign my guestbook.
Genealogy is an individual pursuit, in the 70's and early 80's everyone was
looking
for a Rev. War Veteran, I was lucky and found a bunch.
The 90's brought about about a new trend of looking for Native American
Ancestry, especially the trail of tears participants. Haven't found any of
those yet and probably won't.
Chris wants to join the SAR on the basis of 4 enlistments of Andrew Chaudoin.
SAR is a noble society, and I hope he is successful.
At the same time I wish that if he knows anything about Singleton Chaudoin,
or Singletons father Thomas, that he would share it.
I don't recall seeing anything from him that even remotely
touches on family history.
Just as I wish that Gloria would have put forth the possibility that
Sarah, wife of Old Andrew might have been a Moore, and even
more importantly that she had information that she might have
been a daughter of John Mathew.
However Gloria was a descendant of Francis Jr., and may have
a little less interested in Andrew's wife than that of her ancester.
I know that is true in my case, I gather data from the other brothers,
but, the main thrust of my research comes right down the line,
Francis>Andrew>Thomas>Luther>and Emma Lee.
I talked to Gloria a couple of times when she was putting her book
together. There was no doubt in my mind then or now that she was
truly dedicated to writing a good book, but maybe was a little overwhelmed
by the process.
A Kelley cousin wrote our Kelley history in the 80's the publisher charged
$5,000.00 for 200 books. Hey, he even had a better deal, $7,000.00
for 500 books. Cousin has moved several times and right along with
the moves went a bunch of Kelley history packed in boxes.
Audrey if you have been researching for 35 years, you may agree with
me when I say even a Chaudoin argument group on the net is far more
productive than what we had to work with 35 years ago.
Stepping down from my soapbox, I bid you all a Good Night.
bob
Especially to Westiegs(a)aol.com. Gloria - Saw your e-mails this a.m. and just
wanted to tell you I, and I'm sure many others, e-mailed Chris with as much
help as we could. At the time I wondered why you didn't answer, and thought
you might be ill or on vacation. I'm sure by now he knows who married whom
and whose children are whose! Immediately I told Chris about the book you
wrote and suggested he ask if you still had one for sale. I also refered him
to my teacher and mentor, a genealogy teacher and computer "whiz" who knows
what he's doing and knows all the rules and regulations pertaining to
infringement, etc. I'm sure all the Chaudoin "cousins" who answered Chris
wanted to help him find his way in the family - hope it's working! Hope your
illness is over and will see e-mail from you more often.

It would depend on the dates as you would need this to be able to locate any

by John Wheeler, Sr. I assumed that because everyone wanted it to be Sarah
Wheeler, I put this into the books as Sarah Matthew'Wheeler. No, there is no
proof of an earlier marriage for her, and there was a very early emigrant
from England that settled in that area of Henrico which had a wife and family
called John Matthew, and I feel that Sarah was one of his Daughters. But so
many of these people died without a will as most very so undereducated and
most very poor, I was hoping the Chancery court might have something in them
about the bondage papers about this family but so many things are missing in
the courts of Va. But there was so many battles over the years and it might
be another 100 years before any of these show up in private hands if the ink
and paper last that long. Westie GS
