My roots are deep into Hawkins Co, TN. I am a direct descendent of Hugh Jenkins and Ellen Russell. My grandfather's father was also a Russell he changed his name from Russell to Jenkins in the 1940s. I am waiting on several certificates before I submit my research portfolio to Hawkins Co Archives. I am roughly back to 1780s-90s on both families. Have located wills and other documents that may help you with questions concerning Russells.

REF: W. O. . BEENE FAMILY PHOTO - BELIEVE JAMES L. BEENE IDENTIFIED AS FOSTER AND VICE VERSA.

You were right! I changed the page to show James Lafayette Beene in center!!!

IF YOU COULD TELL ME HOW I MIGHT LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WELSH FAMILY I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL - I HAVE GREAT CURIOSITY ABOUT LUCY AND WOULD LIKE TO LEARN AS MUCH ABOUT HER AS I CAN. ALSO, WHAT ABOUT THE LIVINGSTON FAMILY, CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT THEM??

I have placed a little more information on the site about the Welch family, but Fran and I need to do more research. Someone sent me a scanned photo of Marillah Livingstone and her husband that I just put on the photo list. Marillah was Mary Elizabeth Livingstone's sister. -Dianna

I am one of the Beene Descendents. My grandfather's mother was Ethel Beene, and her mother & father were... Father: Matison M Beene , Mother: Margaret Alice Beene (Grissom). I have the entire family tree on the Grissoms, and I have even updated it. I would like to have photos from the Grissom and Elliff family.

This information has helped me tremendously.

When I began I was looking for my grandmothers side of the family (Elliff's) I found that the Elliffs are related to the grissoms, and the Livingstons, and the Beenes'.

I am currently researching the family name Sherefield and have traced it to the Sheffield family. A great great grandfather was Pleasant B. Sheffield (b. about 1802 - son of Adam Sheffield). Pleasant B.'s children took several spelling variations of the name. I have found at least three different spellings - Sheffield, Shefield and Sherfield. I have additional information on the Pleasant B. Sheffield branch of the family. Please contact me if you are interested.

I loved your website although I didn't find my Anna Sheffield who married Amos Tyler abt 1842 in Wilcox Co. Al. I feel sure that the Sheffields in Wilcox Co. must be related. She was living with Sarah Sheffield in the 1850 Wilcox Co. Al census.

After going to Genforum and reading a note with your webpage mentioned, I came over to have a look. I think my B-in-law will be pleased at what I have been able to find, thanks to your wonderful web site. Again, thank you for making my hunting a little bit easier. Ellen Myers in Mississippi

Excellent web page. Thanks for all the work. I live in Tupelo MS and was raised in Itawamba county MS. I know that we are related to the Summers family, but I can't find the link. There was an Al or Ed Summers who visited our family when I was a child. He then lived in the Mobile AL area and once ran against long time Alabama Congressman Frank Boykin. Can you help me?

Loved the information!! My husband,Mike Collins is a decendant of Rosa Hughes, daughter of Frannie Scherfield (yet another spelling) and Benjamin B.Bailey Hughes. We have heard that Frannie was a Choctaw indian. Do you have any confirmation on this? This is the first time I have actually found her listed. We don't really know much about her. I was especially happy to find you had a picture of Frannie. I know the rest of the family will be thrilled.

I would love to hear from any Walther family. I currently do not have access to my email as well as no power at home due to Hurricane Ivan sweeping thru the Gulf Coast. I would love emails though just please put something in the subject line that will catch my attention :)To any other Ivan Frances Charlie and Bonnie survivors I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected.
