My Kersey roots have become a real obsession for me. Just ask my husband! When visiting my parents in Virginia a few years back I started working on the family tree. I went to the Hanover Courthouse in Virginia and started looking through the files and I came across my GGgrandfather, Ballard Kersey's will. It was then I became hooked! My Uncle has been putting the family tree together for years but because many of the records were burned in Richmond we cannot seem to find out who Ballards father was though the census states that he was born in Hanover. I had to give up on the family tree since I now live in Australia but with this web site I feel that I can start it up again!

William married Martha J. Watson of Worth County and served in the Civil War. If you have any information on either or both Elizabeth or Zachariah, I would tremendously appreciate it.

The relative that was doing this research years ago (1980's) died quite unexpectedly her name was Kittie La Blanc and she lived in California - her collection of information was scattered over the United States for editing in preparation for writing a book. I wish I knew who had most of the information - a lot of questions would be answered, I am sure. Roberts children were listed as: Elizabeth married. William Hopkins ; Phebe ( I do not have her name in any of my records); Polly (Mary's nickname): Sarah; Katherine, married John Chenowith (I do not have her either): John (nor him); James; Benjamin B. 1804, Ky. (nor him) Married Martha Hinton. I have 13 children for Robert & Sarah. If the four that I do not have in my list belong to them that would make 17. Do you have any information on the accuracy of this . Also listed, without identifying connections were: Caroline Kersey 1834- Dec.24, 1892 Regina Kersey McDonald 3-13-1916 ; 3-17-1939 Martha Sue Gilbert Kersey 4-4-1866 ; 3-3-1931 Jesse W.

If you would like to join us, just reply to this email without editing the subject line. The list software will add you to the group and send more information.Hope to hear from you soon on the list, Hello there Marv. Gotta say 'outstanding job' that you've done. Please get me involved in your activities - can't add a lot, but will provide with what I've got. I born in Metter, Candler Co., GA and lived in Statesboro, Bulloch Co., GA until 18 years of age. I have been accumulating info since about '65, and, unfortunately, much of it is not well documented due to the fact I was unaware of the proper procedures back in my teen years. The Kersey line that I come from are from around Emanuel and surrounding counties. Other names that have presented me with part of my genes include; Patrick, Lastinger, Martin, Nabb, McKinzie, Johns, Rigdom, Corbin, Brazwell, Duggar, and Warren - these being both paternal and maternal gene providers. Hey, gotta also say thanks for your passive help in finding my second cousin Cathy Phipps. Must admit that she's a neat cousin!!!! Thanks again, Tom L. Kersey

Date: Sun, 8 Nov 1998 12:54:27 -0800 From: Marv Miller <millerm@halcyon.com> Subject: New Kersey stuff Hi folks-- My web page has been updated today. There are now more than 2000 Kerseys listed. Check it out at http://www.halcyon.com/millerm. We have over 90 active members in the group now. Lots of people, but not much activity lately ;-) If you are new to the group and haven't posted yet, we are anxiously waiting to hear your Kersey connections and how we can help. If you are a regular in the group and haven't posted for awhile, let us hear from you again. The new folks haven't heard from you and the rest of us would like to hear what you have found lately. Any tidbit of Kersey information is welcome. That odd piece of information that doesn't fit your puzzle, does fit someone else. Thanks to the generosity of Janice Cohan I am now the proud possessor of a copy of Theodore Kersey's genealogy of the Indiana Kerseys. A little bit of that information shows up on my web page update, lots more to follow there and on the list. Hope to hear from you all soon on the list, Marv millerm@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/millerm

#24. Kersey-Lastinger connection - from Ke86tnt@aol.com

Doris<< The Lastinger family in America is derived from a single Lastinger. He came to America from Austria, via Holland, as a result of religious pursecution. He met a young lady on the ship who was a '"lower" or "black" dutch and married either on board or shortly after the arrival to the mid-Georgia coastal area. Thus, all Lastingers in this country are related. There have been several books published and there are also Lastinger family reunions yearly where files are updated and added to. From the info I have about their files I feel that they are fairly complete. I have never been to one of their reunions, but my mother, Lucille Lastinger Kersey, has attended several. I do have a book, which is presently on loan to the Calaveras (County) Geneology Society library, so I do have access to much of the info..... and would be more than glad to look it up, if anyone were interested.

Went to TN where he enlisted and fought in the War of 1812. He was 1st m. to a Lucy Brock. They had 3 sons and a daughter. Lucy d. ca 1826. George then went to Jackson Co AL where he was m. to Elizabeth (Sarah Elizabeth) Gilliam in 1831. Just after 1840 they moved to Marion Co TN. Around 1855 they moved to Sebastian Co Ar where he d. in 1863. Appreciate any bit of information. Pat Henry EFPV77B@prodigy.com
