Re: Herring Family

casper1324 — 2009-10-21 14:41:42Z

I am looing for information on a William Herring who died in Barbour County around 1830 He had a brother (or close relative) Grady Herring. As executor for William's will Grady was ordered to orphons court in Barbour County in the matter of Dicy Benton, infant daughter of mary Benton. It appears that William was the father and payments were made to the court each year through a guardian, Daniel McKenzie, to Dicy until she married Michael Floyd in 1855. Could these Herrings be related to yours?

glwhiddon65 — 2009-10-19 19:01:47Z

I believe that Dorcas Skinner Mozingo married only twice. First to Jonathan Mozingo and then to James Thurell. The marriage to Thurell was 27 Apr 1845 in Henry Co., Al.
Dorcas' daughters as I have them are: Mary J. b. 7 Feb 1825 d. 8 Oct 1912, Martha A. b. 25 Sep 1827 d. 28 Jan 1913, Elizabeth b. abt 1830 d. July 1850, Sally b. abt 1832 d.?, Eliza A. b. abt 1835 d. aft 1880, Mariah b. abt 1836 d. 4 Dec 1901. Some of the dates are guesses using census records.

Re: Census Lookup - John Parrish, 1870 Henry County, Alabama

willaims1 — 2009-10-18 18:51:51Z

I ordered copies from Henry Co., Alabama Courthouse. This is the exact names on the marriages and dates. James W. Parish and Mary Marengo married on the 3rd January 1844 in Henry Co., Al. Marriage book 1844-1868 pg 92. I've looked all over for the name of Marengo, couldn't find it, finally found post that linked her sister to Isham Snell as his wife. Both sisters are buried next to each other in the Liberty Baptist Church Cemetery north of Pansey, Al.
John Parish and Nancy Baxter married on 5th of May 1867 in Henry Co., Al. Marriage book 1822-1867 page 588,
The names I gave you on previous post is their exact names.
Can you give me a correct list of the daughters of Dorcas Skinner Mozingo and did you ever find her second marriage to a Ferrell? I couldn't find it.

Hello Cousin Jasmin!

Fred Chitty is also my cousin. Fred, Jr., lives in Beacon, New York. His father lived in Columbia and Atlanta. I'm not sure where Fred Sr. was from, but it may be around Ridgeland, SC. I may be wrong, but my father, Jakie (aka Jake [erroneous]) is from barnwell, SC -- and may be the "Jacob" to whom you refer. His father (Jakie's father) was Belton Chitty, Sr -- and Belton Sr's Father was Hamp(ton) Chitty, of Barnwell,SC. As far as I know, my father had one brother, David Chitty, who was in the US Army during the 40's or 50's. He lived in Jacksonville, FLA when he seems to have disappeared. Then, there is also my father's sister, my aunt Gladys (who later married a man named Barber, of New York. My father's mother (my grandmother) was Anna Hogue, and her mother (my great-grandmother), who died in 1956 at age 102 or 103 in 1956, was Katie (Katy?) Patterson, nee Washington or vice-versa.

The Chitty side of my family is mainly from the Barnwell, Blackville, Williston area and surrounds.

I also have a photo of a (german-looking) gentleman whom I suspect to be a relative, who looks white and may have been from Iowa. I also have information on Jeffersons and others who may be Chitty relatives. It's too much to try to type, but get back to me and we can talk more.

I am still here. I am at work at the moment on lunch, but I will check when I get home and send you what I have. Andrew and Lucinda only had a couple of children. She died and he remarried and had several more. There has been a rift in the family since because of the abuse that my great grandmother (Minnie, Andrew and Lucinda's daughter) suffered at the hands of her stepmother. Again I will send you what I have.

To Hattie Hamilton: Would you be willing to look up marriage records for me also? I have not been able to find out who any of this family married. My ancestors in Henry Co., AL were Ezekiel Brown, Jr. and Emily (Greene) Brown. They had the following children who would/could have married in Henry Co.: Franklin Brown (I do know that he married a Mary Kilcrease female from Macon Co.); Elizabeth Brown, born in 1838, George Brown, born 1840; Harrison H. Brown, born 1841; Jane Brown, born 1842; Mary Brown, born 1844; James Brown, born 1846; Nancy Brown, born 1848 and Charles or Charley Brown born in 1854. These birth years are approximate. They lived (according to the 1860 census) in the Woodsvile Beat 1 and the P.O. was Open Pond. Before moving to Henry Co., they had lived in Harris Co., GEorgia. Thanks for any help you can give me.
