I just read your post,and am so excited to learn more. This is my family! Elisha is my direct line. I want to come there to see this and to learn more about it. As you can tell, I am new to this searching and finding, or not finding! My email is barefootdancing7@yahoo.com and my name is Lynda Chase. When I do find things, I usually lose them and cannot go back to where I was! I would love to keep in touch with you. Thanks!

This is good news. My brick wall is, "which Joseph" so the more of these Attaway men we can get should help in my search. Your John and family are from SC & GA where mine are from so I'm sure there's a connection. Harrison, John and Chesley are names scattered throughout the Attaway clan.

You can email me directly at ssbrogdon@aol.com if you'd like to trade further information.

Re: Attaway DNA Group

tlbeckman — 2009-07-16 19:00:10Z

Hi, Sharon!

I just saw your post about Attaway DNA. My brother is the only living male Attaway ancester in our line. I am buying the kit to have him take the test.

My Attaway line comes from John, born 1751 Virginia, to Chesley, born 1806 Laurens, SC, to Harrison, born 1836 Greensboro, GA, to Brennan Attawy, born Missouri, to my father, Robert Harrison Attaway, born 1915 in Missouri.

I think that there's a possibilty that John's father was Joseph Attaway since he was in records in 1751 in Dan River Virginia.

Pat, I believe Kristen was trying to do the right thing. This was not a joke or trick! She posted some of the items she had found on a temporary web site which I viewed but unfortunately did not download in time before it was deleted. She has since deleted the items from her camera after she handed them over to this person who showed her proof that he was an Attaway. She is only keeping her word to this person by not revealing his identity and I beleive she came to this decision since she had received so many emails directing her about this find. I have personally talked to her, she could have trashed the information but instead made it available to an Attaway. Now, whether this person ever decides to share is beyond Kristen's influence. I keep hoping that he will. He has my email so maybe it is just taking him a long time to sort through and make sense of what he has. I'm still hopful that at some point we'll see this information surface again. At least it's in the hands of a person interested in our family.

Re: Uncovered Geneaology Attaway

betty67w — 2009-03-18 04:03:28Z

KRISTIN, THIS WAS NOT A VERY FUNNY JOKE AS IT GOT US ALL EXCITED ABOUT FINDING NEW MATERIAL. THIS WHOLE THING YOU DID WAS A HOAX, AND IT IS NOT VERY APPRECIATED. THAT BOX YOU SAID YOU GOT AT A FLEA MARKET NEVER EXISTED. THANK YOU.

Re: Uncovered Geneaology Attaway

betty67w — 2009-03-14 22:15:59Z

well he must be joking as he has his email hidden and he only put up one post! Not near the researcher we need! As a researcher to Attaways connected to the WALKER name I would be interested anything he could share...........

Re: Uncovered Geneaology Attaway

PatGillespie01 — 2009-03-14 21:13:11Z

That person has never contacted Sharon or any of the rest of us Attaway's, and I'm sure we never will. I just hope and pray he really was an Attaway that got all that info. If he was, I think he would be willing to share.

Attaway DNA Group

sharon_brogdon — 2009-01-28 22:51:30Z

I just began a new Attaway DNA group on Ancestry with the help of my brother's DNA test. If you are an Attaway male please make the effort to have a DNA test done, we used the 46 marker kit, and post your results so we can ascertain which Attaway group we all belong to. Right now Ancestry has their kits on sale so it's a little less expensive to get one done. It's an easy mouth swab (no blood tests). Go to Ancestry.com and click on DNA and then search for the name Attaway.

Andy,
Are you the one who received the "box" from Kristin. I'd love to have copies of what was in the letters since I got a glimpse of a page that said Joseph went to war at age 14. That might help me pinpoint the correct Joseph for for lineage.

Re: Laurens SC Attaways from ENGLAND!!!!!!

sharon6370 — 2007-04-16 16:42:22Z

I don't think I have an Ezekial in my direct line, but like you I think there must be a connection. I'll look through my notes and see if I see an Ezekial. I have seen a lot of Georgia Attaways but mine left from SC and went to Henderson Co., TN and then a couple generations later to Henderson Co., TX where my grandfather died in 1947.

I'll let you know what I find.

Thank you,

Attaway's in Johnson County, GA

RozineBickel — 2008-03-24 15:52:38Z

Hello to all Georgia Attaway researchers!
I am researching the Attaway families in Georgia. This is for my son-in-law who is the grandson of Emory Cecil and Elizabeth Wade Attaway from Bleckley County, GA. He is the great grandson of Simmie A. and Annie M. Attaway. (We have seen that "Simmie" has been written as 'Sam' on past censuses.) We believe this Simmie A. Attaway is the son of Louden A. and Mattie M. Attaway. Louden was born April 7, 1853 in South Carolina. On the 1900 census Louden A. was in Johnson County, GA.
If anyone has any information on Louden A. Attaway, his ancestors, or descendants, I would love to communicate with you and share what information I have gotten. This would be helpful in making sure the information is valid. You can either post a response here or send me an email at: DonaRoze@aol.com.
Thank you!

It would help us so very much, and I hope you would be willing to share it with us. We would like to get to know you as well. Thank you so much.

Re: Laurens SC Attaways from ENGLAND!!!!!!

arob72 — 2007-04-15 03:06:34Z

I'm not sure all of the names line up, but there must be a connection between these Attaways and my wife's line from SC.(Spartanburg, Saluda) I show an Ezekial Attaway fighting in the War of 1812, but not an Elijah, though they were both prophets. Our info goes back to 1664 in this country. I also have a book that states there were Attaways in Burke County GA(near Augusta) during the Great Unpleasantness, but that there were none by 1905. Would be glad to receive and share Attaway information.

kjilchert — 2008-09-15 02:54:04Z

Hi Folks,
I just found a box of old papers at a antique flea market in Fredericksburg Virgina (Home town of James & Caroline Attway).
what I have may interest you. Seems someone in the family was a ancestry buff or sleuth back in the 1930's. I didn't go through it all, it's not very organized but it is in one binder type book. It lists dates back to the 1700's. I think Elisha is the first name that come to mind along with Issac, Lettuce?, Joseph, william john, david robert, Harley, Gonley?, Anna, James etc... Elisha 1735 1816 Lettice Barton died after 1820?.
Info on the 1850 census from edgefield SC. And so on.

There are corresposndence letters from what I think a cousin to the original slueth (Haven't defined who the sleuth is as of yet.lol)

In any evet I will try and put some photos of what I have found up on the web, if you ar einterested email me for the link.

Thanks and happy Tracking, kristin

Hi, I just found some interesting papers today that I found at an antique sale in Fredericksburg VA.. Seems there was a Attaway geneaology buff back in the 1930's (Thats when a lot of these papers are from.) Correspondence's from what appears to be cousins talking about and dating their ancestors dating back to I think the 1700's. If you are interested let me know. As I said I just picked this stuff up and went through quickly. I did see an Issac from SC I believe he is the son of Elisha. I will try and put some photos of these pages on the web soon.
Have a Great Day, Kristin

My grandfather William Henry Jimerson had a sister Mildred "Millie" who married James Milton Attaway (1871-1955). They moved from Mississippi to Texas.

I'm told that Sam T. Attaway (b 1864, still living in 1910) was married to a sister of Will and Millie -- "Mollie" Jamison, but I can't find her in any of the Census records. What I do find is that their sister Sarah M. "Sallie" is married to Sam. They were living in Marshall County in 1910.

Can anyone fill in details for me?

A SAD ACCIDENT

When she discovered the fire her dress was ablaze and burning so furiously she became excited and had not Mr. H. B.

Re: Elijah and Willis m. to Nancy1860-80

DANMAR1 — 2008-08-17 20:16:46Z

Taylor and Selena (or Lena) actually had 11 children. Their daughter, Abbie, is my grandmother. She is whom I got the name Nancy Samples from. I haven't found any documentation for Samples or Sampson, though. Nancy did list her father as having been born in Ireland on one of the census. So, perhaps she is only half Cherokee or perhaps it is an error. I have found no proof either way. Nancy's first husband, Elisha (or Elijah) died during the civil war. Willis lost his second wife and then married Nancy. She is buried in the Black Oak Cemetery with Elisha in Hopkins, TX. I have a five-gen picture of Aunt Zelda's. You are probably in it.
