I checked the neighbors in the 1930 census and hoped no one moved in 1940 when I looked for them there. A helpful hint, especially when they spell the name so totally wrong.

Dang! You are really good at this! Thanks!

Re: Louveilly Bowman Massey Parents

dianebow — 2013-04-26 15:40:21Z

I just found the family in the 1940 census in Ancestry.com. It is in the Dan River, Patrick County, 71-3 pg 12.

Zachariah is listed as Marick Hammon (age 33). I tried to correct it, but my computer froze up. The others are:
Viada (Vada) 32
R O 14
Claude 12
R L 11
May 9
Morly 7
Loveline 5 (Louveilly)

Re: Louveilly Bowman Massey Parents

tedpack — 2013-04-21 03:38:21Z

Zack Bowman and Vada Pack appear out of nowhere, marry, and vanish. I found them once on the census:

1930; Census Place: Dan River, Patrick, Virginia; Roll: 2454; Page: 9B; Enumeration District: 3; Image: 391.0; FHL microfilm: 2342188.

Zaeari Bowman, 34 (looks like 24 in the image) Va, Va, Va
(Zacari in the image; no telling how it should be spelled)
Vadie Bowman, 21, Va, Va, Va
R O Bowman, 5 Va, Va, Va
William C Bowman 3 and 6/12Va, Va, Va
R L Bowman 1 and 2/12, Va, Va, Va

Age @first marriage points to 1923, +/- 1.

I found three death records for his children:

North Carolina, Deaths, 1931-1994 (LDS)

Robie Jackson Bowman, 10 Sep 1924 - 14 Apr 1994
(R O in 1930)
Father: Zackari Bowman
Mother: Vada Pack

Clyde William Bowman, 19 Sep 1927 - 17 Jan 1994
(William C in 1930)
Father: Zack Bowman
Mother: Vada Pack

R.L. Jackson Bowman, 11 Feb 1929 - 29 Jan 1988
(R L in 1930)
Father: Zack Bowman
Mother: Vada Pack

This obit is the 4th. "EL" in th eobit is probably "R L" Jackson.

If anyone can add to this family I would appreciate it. I spent a couple of hours looking for Zachary and Vada in 1910, 1920, and 1940. Nothing. No birth, death or marriage records either.

Re: Theodore Barnard (1874-?) and Ada Moore (1876-?)

mistergarth — 2013-02-05 22:46:21Z

It sounds like you're more up on this branch than I am at this point. I don't have those specific dates. I've got a little more info and pics on the Barnard siblings who moved to Montana: the Reynolds', Yeatts', James Thomas Barnard, J.T. Winifred Barnard,... my research on my great gramdmother's siblings started when I tried to figure out who the people are in some of the old photo scans I have. The captions refer to people as "Uncle Win", for example. It's an interesting web to untangle, but T.V. Barnard doesn't seem to have been in the Montana group.

Re: Theodore Barnard (1874-?) and Ada Moore (1876-?)

BettyMoore7341 — 2013-01-28 05:52:21Z

I'm still following! Do you have definitive dates of death for Theodore and Ada? The Soc Sec Death Index shows that T.V. died in Jul 1971, Princeton, Mille Lacs, Minnesota. The Minnesota Death Index has 28 Jul 1971 in Insanti, MN. I got his birth dates from those two sources. Did he have a birth certificate or family Bible entry or something, or was the date you have what the family always said?
Do you know where they were in 1940? I haven't been able to find them in the 1940 census.
Thanks for the update, I'll go look for the picture.

Re: Theodore Barnard (1874-?) and Ada Moore (1876-?)

mistergarth — 2013-01-27 22:45:08Z

I realize this is an old thread. I hope people are still following it...
I'm descended from T.V. Barnard's sister Stella.
Theridas Vera Barnard was born 10 SEPT 1873, in Patrick County, VA. I've got the same date as you for his marriage to Ada Moore.
1900 Census lists him in Hendricks, Indiana with wife Ada and daughters Venice and Laura.
1930 census lists him in Omaha with wife Ada, married daughter Mabel, son-in-law Oliver Wolcott, granddaughter Annabelle Lee Wolcott, and son Woodrow.
I have some pictures from a Barnard family reunion. They're dated 1963, but the reunion must actually have taken place a few years before that, as some of the people in the pictures died before 1963.
They won't let me post links on this board, but a google search for Theridas Vera Barnard should bring up my site, garthhagerman dot com.

Re: Theodore Barnard (1874-?) and Ada Moore (1876-?)

mistergarth — 2013-01-27 22:32:41Z

There are two Jehu Barnards in this family group. Jehu Osmond Barnard (1877-1961) was married to Virginia Banks. He was the son of Jehu Barnard (1840-1933). It was the elder Jehu who was married to Nancy Wood. T.V. Barnard and J.O. Barnard were brothers.

Alias Names of Cemetery

For those familiar with the Ararat area of Patrick Co, VA, is the cemetery known as Hunter's Chapel Cemetery the same as Carter's Chapel Cemetery and also Gates Cemetery?

I think it was called Carter's Chapel in the 1950s - 1980s, but was wondering if the name had changed.

Both have good info at www.genforum.com on the Pack section: www.genforum.genealogy.com/pack/ John Pack and Delong was in Michelle Burress line and very elusive people...not much info to get but they did find parents were Ormond Delong and Sarah Reed of Montgomery Co., VA.

Hi,

I notice that you mention in your Patrick County, VA posting that James Pack, Jr. was mentioned in the Pension Application of Martha Pack. I know Martha Pack was living in Floyd County, VA after the death of her husband James Pack, Sr. My question is: Do you have a copy of Martha Pack's Pension Application? I am researching Harden and John Pack, who were both born in Patrick Co., VA in early 1800's...both married DeLong girls in Floyd County, VA before moving on to Tazewell County, VA before 1850. I would really like to obtain a copy of Martha Pack's Pension file from her husband's service in the War of 1812. I welcome your reply.

Thank you.

I'm looking for information on my wife's family from Patrick County. My wife's mother was Mallie Mae Bowman (of Patrick Co.) who married Eugene Clifford Emerson (of Surry Co., NC). Mallie's mother was Mathie Ann Bowman the daughter of Rachel Pack and Andrew J. Bowman (married in Patrick County in 1887). Mathie married a Samuel Yancy (?) Bowman. We think that the parents of Rachel Pack were Isham Pack and Mary Ann 'Nancy' Bowman - but we don't know for sure.

Va. they had nine children Williams parents Elisha Lyon b 1765 Heinrico, Va. d04Apr1812 Va. married Rhonda Hatcher b 1771 Va. d 1806 Va. they had nine children. Sarah Hatcher parents Elijah Catlett Hatcher b01Jan17449 Bedford, Va. d10Dec1829 Franklin, Va. married Sarah Hail-Ward b 1758 Bedford, Va. d 1810 Mercer, W.Va. they had 2 children. Both Elijah Catlett Hatcher and Rhonda Hatcher show having the same parents Edward Hatcher and Sarah Farley and that would make William Lyon and Sarah Hatcher a first cousin marriage and was wanting to if anybody has any information to verify if this is true, or not? I'm helping with my nieces family line and any help on this would be gratefull''

I too am having the same issue with John Lee and Sarah Ward...Has anyone found the answer to this? My lineage is showing to come from Hannah Lee...child of John Lee and Sarah Ward...I'm unable to find a birth record confirming that. I figure if I can confirm that , I'll continue trying to work out which John Lee Sarah Ward was married to.

Hugh and Sarah -> Nancy Adaline Boyd -> Elizabeth Cockram -> Sarah West -> David Early Knowles -> Roy Knowles -> David Knowles -> Me.
