Hello! I am looking for more information on the Gilbert CHRISTIAN family of
the Kingston area of Roane County. I am hoping that his daughter noted in
the 1850 census as "Hannah M., b. 1830" is the same person as Manerva H.
CHRISTIAN, born December 1830.
Gilbert CHRISTIAN was born in TN about 1798 and died between 1870 and 1880
in Kingston. He married Mary Moly TERRY in Roane on October 27, 1825. She
was born in TN in 1805 and died after 1880. They had the following
children:
- Hannah M. (1830)
- Mariah L. (1830, twin of Hannah M.); died after Apr 10, 1899, married
Henry JAMES (b. 1825; d. Feb 22, 1864)
- James M. (1832 - after 1870) + Mary Ann (RHEAR?)
- John Y. (1835 - after 1900)
- Wiley M. (1836 - after 1870) + Julia D'ARMOND in 1866
- William Albert (1846 - after 1880)
My Manerva H. CHRISTIAN married Weatherson G. BARNAWELL in Roane on December
1, 1856. They live very close to the Gilbert CHRISTIAN family and even sold
some land to William Albert Christian in 1871. They also sold 1/2 acre to
Sallie JAMES in Harriman in 1908 - possibly a relation to the Henry James
married to Mariah L.?
Manerva (Christian) BARNAWELL died in the Harriman area after April of 1912;
I have not found the burial place for her, Weatherson, or the Gilbert
CHRISTIAN family. I could possibly find an obit linking her to this family
if I could locate a death date on a headstone.
I would also be interested in any nformation on Gilbert CHRISTIAN. It seems
he may be a grandson of the TN Revolutionary War officer, Gilbert CHRISTIAN,
through his son Captain Robert CHRISTIAN.
Thank you!
Lauren in Seattle

received this from another list and I have also wasted my time going to this site and finding it's $$$$....
I took a minute out of our volunteer typing time to check this site
out.
http://www.familydiscovery.com/
It is a fraudulent site because a membership gives you links to our
free sites. You do not have to pay to get to any site in USGenWeb
Right here, there is no charge to get to all the counties in USGenWeb.
We are all hardworking volunteers to have genealogy information
free for researchers.
I have found links to our Macoupin civil war rosters, censuses,
which we spent many hours of volunteer time now to have unknowing
researchers pay a membership to click on a link to view our work.
Macoupin County ILGenWeb volunteers have put over 1400 pages of
free information and continuing to work to get more pages up.
If any person finds our complete work in their membership, please
notify me. Please pass this information onto any list. Let's try to
keep these ripoffs from making their pile of money from our
volunteer work.
Please pass this onto any list you might be on. Hopefully, this
site will be removed soon if not sooner.
Thanks for listening.

02/28/01 - NY POST TO PUT ENTIRE ARCHIVES ONLINE
I found the following news item to be quite interesting and thought I would
pass it on. Could be a valuable and inexpensive tool.

NY POST TO PUT ENTIRE ARCHIVES ONLINE
Microfilm To Be Digitized By Canadian Company
by Wayne Robins
Alexander Hamilton's editorials =97 online from the New York Post? The
archives of America's oldest continually-published daily are going online,
and may be accessible in time for the November bicentennial of the
Federalists' paper, founded in 1801.
"Our archives are really a treasure trove," said Post Editor Ken Chandler.
"Over the years we've kept them intact on microfilm, but obviously that's a
very cumbersome way to reach them."
The digitizing is being done by Cold North Wind, a two-year-old company based
in Ottawa, Ontario, with a division in Framingham, Mass. Last year the parent
company of The Toronto Star bought a minority share in Cold North Wind, which
is also digitizing the entire archives of that newspaper.
"Newspapers are the only record of continuous daily life for the last 400
years," Cold North Wind's CEO Bob Huggins said in an interview with E&P
Online last week. The company says it has acquired digital rights to
thousands of newspapers dating back to the 1700's. Its proprietary software,
known as Paper of Record, scans microfilm to create digital images of the
original newspaper pages. The archives will be searchable, and can be
automatically updated with a streaming feed.
Cold North Wind and the newspapers with which it works will share revenue.
Neither Huggins nor Chandler of the Post knows how the numbers or percentages
will play out. But Huggins expects that subscriptions will "eliminate the
nonsense of paying $2.95 or whatever per article."
Chandler added, "We don't look at it as something that's going to generate
great revenues. But we're sitting on an asset we haven't been able to exploit
until now, so it's all kind of gravy."

2-3-1952 in Hominy, Okla. She married 7-28-1889 to William Nathan
Agee. Then moved to Hominy area, in 1918. I remember they lived in
Blackburn, on the Ark. River, in the 1930s. She had a brother, Barlow, I
think they called him, "Cotton". They are my Grandparents. Grandpa
called her "Eller. Her Father was William Christian. Mother unknown.
I never heard anything else, or met any, of her familey. But have a
picture at the Agee Cemetary of some of the familey. G-Grandpa
Christian is in it. About 1914. He built little houses over the graves
of Infant, d,1910, and GUFFERY AGEE, b.8-5-1912, d. 7-8-1914. G-Grandpa
must have lived around Hasty, Ark. And probably buried there.
Grandpa Agee, 0wened? A sawmill in Hasty. And the sawdust plle was
still there, 40 yrs. ago, about.
If anyone out there, has any info on this line of the Christians, and
know of Christians and Agees, buried in the Agee Cem. Please contact
me.
Thank you in advance.
Betty

hi Cheryl and all,
yes, you are correct in what you say, for I too have
found "cousins" in this way. The mystery, however,
remains: who were the parents of
Daniel Christian Sr., revolutionary solder
Berks Co/Exeter Tnshp PA?
Branches of this family are in Carroll Co IL, Milam
Co TX and Eugene OR. Why can't this be found?
stumped

Wow!!! I am amazed at the wonderful responses I got on the Christian Family
Chronicles. Thanks to all of the fellow researchers who responded. I have
found some cousins I didn't know I had. Agnes Branch Pearlman got in touch
with me as well.
I continue to be amazed at the generosity of the genealogists on the
Internet. The world surely would be a better place if everyone helped out
the way family history enthusiasts do. I like to think we have our
priorities straight--family and friends first.
Cheers,
Cheryl
I am looking for information on Peter Frazier s/o John b.1783 in VA and d
1881 in IL. He married Elizabeth Christian d/o Andrew and Mary (Polly) Hatton
Christian. Elizabeth was b 1795. They had 12 children: Elva, Turrence or
Turner, Hugh, William Joseph, Mary, Cynthia (or similar spelling), Sarah,
Elmira, Patsy, and an unnamed infant. After leaving Va., this family settled
in Fayette Co. KY (along with Elizabeth's father, and 2 uncles, John and
William Christian. Later, they moved Fayette Co, IN. and Peter ended up in
Vermilion Co. IL. I would love more info on either family. I do not know when
Elizabeth died or where but she had children for a period of 15 to 20 years.
Peter fought in the War of 1812 and his father fought in the Rev. War as did
Elizabeth's father and 2 uncles. Help, please! Linda J. Fleming

Cheryl,
This is the email address I have for Agnes Pearlman: ABranchP(a)aol.com
She may still have back issues for sale. The Chronicles are no longer
published.

I am doing research on the Christians of Tazewell Co. VA. I am a descendant
of Thomas Christian who married Louisa Harman. While looking through some
old boxes of material, I found four issues of the Christian Family
Chronicles, published by Agnes Branch Pearlman. Can any one on the list tell
me if this is still being published, and if not, where can I get back issues.
Thanks,
Cheryl

Database on Freed Slaves Released
By JANELLE CARTER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Mormon Church published records Monday from the
post-Civil War Freedman's Bank for newly freed slaves, making ancestral
records available for as many as 12 million black Americans.
The records have been available for years through the National Archives but
not in organized form. The church, formally the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, spent 11 years, with help from volunteer Utah state
inmates, extracting and linking the 480,000 names contained in the records.
The result is a searchable database on compact disk which includes
information such as family names, birth locations and names of former slave
owners.
``These records can provide clues for an estimated 8 to 10 million African
American descendants living today who might want to research their family

The church began the project when an employee discovered the existence
