Subject: RE: Kersey Information needed

Hi Pat--

I have Sally Kersey and Daniel Walls on my web page because I found their marriage record on Family Tree Maker Marriage Bundle CD#2. There is no more information about them on the CD.

I have been adding Kersey information from our discussion list to my database so that I could be on the lookout for matches as I am researching. I didn't really think about it, but that data will show up on my web page as I update it. I'd be happy to add any Kersey information you like. Or I would also be glad to help you, or anyone else in the group, to set up a page. It's not very hard.

Marv, I noticed on your Web Page under Index of Individuals a

listing for Sally Kersey m. 7 Sept 1839 in Franklin Co TN to

Daniel Walls. She is believed to be a daughter of my GG Grandfather

George Madison Kersey and his first wife Lucy Brock. Was it

submitted by someone? If so I was wondering who it might be so I

could maybe contact them. Or was it something you might have found

in TN marriage records and put it in the list yourself?

Also I wondered how I go about submitting other members of my

Kersey family to the Index of Individuals? I have information on

some of the other children of Geo. M. Kersey, especially my

G Grandfather Arthur L Kersey and his children etc.

He was in Pike Co. according to the 1850 and 60 census.

He was born circa. 1812 - 1815.

His son Benjamin Franklin m. Samantha Harrell

He is listed on the 1900 census in Escambia Co., Fl.

His son - I was always told his name was James Curtis...now I find out that

For those of you just starting out wih family research as I am, you might try

out this online service, there is a free data (plus many others you can

subscribe to) base that provides birth/death dates and social security

numbers in order to assist with your research. The database is not without

its flaws, of course, and some of those you may be looking for would have not

have had a social security number. You should Yahoo or use another search

engine to search Social Security Master Death Index as it will yield other

similar data bases and tips on what other databases you can access for a fee.

As I am just starting out, I am pleased with what I have been able to

accomplish online.

Also, doing a search with the keyword being "genealogy" will also give you a chance to explore all the available historical societies and helpful institutions in the state you are conducting your research in.

Good luck.

Hi Doris--

Sorry for the misunderstanding. No one wants you to unsubscribe. Let's see if I can explain what happened. First a group member sent a message to get a directory of available files. That's the "Kersey: CMD:DIR" message. For some reason the list server software didn't recognize it as a command message. Instead it sent a copy to everyone as if if were a regular group message. All of the group messages have a trailer at the bottom that tells you how to unsubscribe if you want. As there wasn't any text in this message, the trailer looks like the message and ends up sounding like you are supposed to unsubscribe. I'm not sure why the DIR command isn't working. I'll try to intercept those manually until I figure it out. Again, I am sorry for the confusion. We certainly want you to stay in the group. I hope you are feeling better.

m. as second wife William Kersey, b. 1722, d. 11-20-1764 NG p72

Subject: Kersey:William Kersey

Thank you for your response, Marv.

What I plan to do is consult Hinshaw's several Quaker volumes and Week's book on the Quakers to construct the family group sheet. I'll include all information gleaned from the several meetings in Virginia, NC, Ohio, and Ind. That survey and group sheet about the William Kersey family will be in my book when published.

I've got to do this in order to understand the family and their movements. It is already apparent that Daniel Kersey married twice and perhaps had children by both wives. He moved first to Miami Valley, Ohio, about 1805 but returned to Springfield a few years later. Thomas Ricks and his family moved to the Miami Valley area later, and it is quite possible that Daniel's reconnaissance reports helped in that move (probably sparked their interest, too).

Thomas Kersey moved to Indiana in 1811, and he later moved to Clinton County, Ohio. There were Rickses there, too. It is a very interesting history of these several children of William Kersey and (second wife) Hannah Hunt. Hinshaw gives this family good coverage in his abstracts, but I am certain there are many more undiscovered bits of family information and history in the actual records (I just don't have time to gather them before I publish). I found this to be true in my search of records at Guilford College. In fact, my survey of the women's meeting records for information about Gwin Ricks resulted in additional information not previously known about several Kersey men and women. I have included an abstract of those entries in a concise about Gwin's history within the women's meeting.

What I'm saying here is that many researchers are content to accept all that is printed in abstracts. An abstract is mostly a finding aid, but frequently the abstract contains all the useful genealogical information. This is definitely not true of the Quaker abstracts. I encourage anyone researching the Kersey family to obtain the original records AND to review the records of known associates.

One fact stands out about William Kersey: There are no female children shown in his list of children. Why? That is a puzzle, and I searched for an answer (besides there just not being any) to determine if Gwin Ricks was a Kersey. No closure on that subject. Thomas witnessed Jonas Ricks' will; Daniel took an active part in the marriage of Edward Ricks, and Gwin associated closely in the women's meeting with Hannah and the other wives of Kersey men. I really wish someone had done a primary research report on this Kersey family.

Sorry for the long message.

Halifax MM, Va., has the first record of William Kersey being there,

probably, before 1749 (Hinshaw, Vol. VI, p. 524). His wife Elizabeth

died before that year, and William was an overseer of Monoquesy

Preparative Meeting, Maryland. Their son William Kersey Jr. was born in

1745, and it is likely they were in the Quaker church by at that event.

I haven't seen anything on the Monoquesy meeting to confirm the earliest date. Weeks does not mention such a meeting in his book. The earliest dated record for New Garden MM, Guilford Co., N. C., shows William and family arriving on certificate from Halifax MM 28 October 1758.

My name is kathleen Lommel and I have just joined this mailing list. My

family come from around the Stratford on Avon area of England. However,

as this is in the corner of Warwickshire they tended to move between

Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire, My great grandmother

was Harriett Casey who married William Harris in 1830. Her father was

George Casey married to Anne Trotman in 1802. His father was Robert

Kasey who lived in Wixford at the time of his marriage to Anne Jackson

in 1779. He had been married before but I can find no record of the

marriage so suspect he may not originally have been from this area. The

name has been spelled in a dozen different ways - Kasey, Kersey, Casey

Keasey, Kearsey. Any help would be appreceiated and of course if I have

any information that may prove useful to others I am very willing to

share this.

Kathleen.

Subject: FW: Kersey List

Hi Doris--

At least part of the problem is that I have been out of town for the last week. The list is run from my home PC, so if I am not here to log on, nothing happens. We should be back to normal now. I'm glad that at least someone noticed that the list wasn't working. ;-)

Marv,

I have been trying to e-mail you for days! All of my mail comes back. I

haven't gotten any mail for almost a week. This morning is the first. I was

worried that I had some how been taken off of the list.

The network has been busy. All I get from them is we're busy, call back

later.

If I don't hear back from you on this , then I 'll know it's through the net!

Thanks,

Doris Buffum

Marv,

thanks for the e-mail. I was worried about the Kersey List, but more worried

about my e-mail ingeneral I have just upgraded my computer, and printer. Was

afraid I was doing something wrong. I wasn't getting any e-mail, and yours

was coming back to me. Hope you had a good vacation. Glad to see you back

though. I do appreciate your hard work in keeping the list going through

your PC. I have found three cousins through this list. One lives right here

in the same town!

Again Thanks,

D. Buffum

I knew something was wrong. I told my husbans that I hadn't received

anything in a while and that wasn't normal. I thought I had also been cut

off of the list.
