Subject: Kersey: Genealogy software & misc.

Hi --

I'm the wrong person to ask for comparisons of genealogy software. I'm

happily using Family Tree Maker 2.0. I also use Brother's Keeper because

of some of the report functions and because it's easier to export partial

databases. But I'm a make-do sort of guy, not very picky, happy with what

I am used to.

I'm excited by the Kersey web page additions. Pretty soon we can start a

Kersey ring.

I hope to get a couple more sections of the L.T. Kersey book out this

weekend.

Subject: Re: Kersey: genealogy programs

I wrote my own programme about 10 years ago, but it relied on dot matrix

printers to draw the trees properly. It is very dated, but I haven't had

time to rewrite it or find anything better. One came very close, shareware.

Called WinGenea. It prints trees just as I like them, but the only problem

for me was that as I wanted to keep my IDs, I had to input 6000 entries

before I could print out my first full tree!

While surfing the web a while ago I came across another puzzle piece. I would

love to be able to fink this one to the tree.

It says that Kersey COATES (b.9-15-1823 d.4-24-1887) was born to a wealthy

quaker family in PA where he practiced law. He died leaving an estate of 2

million dollars.

I am sure that he is related to:

Jesse Kersey (b.8-25-1768) m. Elizabeth Coates (on 5-26-1790)

Her parents: Moses COATES & Mary VICKERS

I am hoping that someone has the answer.

Jane,

I have just looked at your web page. The colours are great, but when printed

black and white, not so good. The Header names come out all faint.

The last para under Marvin Miller, appears to be attributable to me, but it

is not. My view is that most KERSEY families originated in England.

It might be useful to provide a link under my name to my web pages:

About me and background to KE(A)RSEY families in England

members.aol.com/HKearsey/index.htm

History of the Oxfordshire families

members.aol.com/HKearsey/oxon.htm

Like your page, I hope my pages will be equally useful and interesting to

KERSEY researchers.

I am putting the history as web pages as it is just as easy to print them as

from an attachment.

Subject: Kersey: Eleazer Kersey will

I personally reviewed the will of Eleazer Kersey in Raleigh this week.

Here is what I found, but I did not transcribe the entire will:

Eleazar Kersey was born 27 August 1762, (Rowan County at that

time); died 1 June 1816,[note 1] at Springfield. The will was probated

before the August court, 1816. His chidren were Stephen, William, Enoch,

Jesse, Eleazer, Elizabeth, Alice, (Beeson), and Esther (Wolfington)

Kersey. Moses Kersey, born 6 September 1806, was the son of Eleazer

Kersey and his wife Elizabeth Harlan, both members of New Garden Meeting

before 1794. The children of Eleazar Kersey, including Moses, were

received on request of their father at Springfield Monthly Meeting 3

October 1801. Eleazer Kersey named his brother-in-law Stephen Harlan,

wife Elizabeth, and son Stephen Kersey executors.

Note 1: Source: Guilford Co. Wills, 17711968, fiberdex box C.R.

046.801.117, N.C. State Archives (Book B, p. 20, written 29 May 1816;

probated Aug. 1816).

Note 2: Source: Same as above, plus Hinshaw, Vol. 1, p. 889.

Eleazer Kersey is also mentioned in the book:

"Fred Hughes, "Guilford County, N.C.: a map supplement, pp. 71, 77, and

83.

PP. 71 and 77 tell that Eleazer Jr was a builder (stone mason) and he

built several prominent structures in the early-to mid 1830s.

On Apr 30th I wrote information about my gg grandfather GEORGE

MADISON KERSEY. I'm still looking for his parents, siblings, and

birthplace in VA. Does anyone have that name anywhere in their

family?? If you don't have the info I sent about him let me know and

I will resend it to the list. I would surely appreciate any info you

have!! Would anyone have any information on a LUCINDA

SUSAN KERSEY b. 28 Feb 1788 in VA (co. unknown) ? She was m. to a

Paul Chiles in 1805 in either Knox co. TN or Giles co TN. I believe

he was also b. in VA. There is a possibility that she might be my Geo. M. Kersey's sister. Who was Lucinda's parents and siblings?

Any help appreciated. Does
