Phillip Rich

We had a dna match of 7.5 cm. I'm wondering where the relation is? I'm working on Kennedy and wondering if you happen to have a Reubin Kennedy born 1804 in North Carolina in your tree?

Hello Phillip, I noticed you updated some things on Joseph Stewart. I was going through my family history book and noticed there was some children missing.

By comparing our DNA on GEDmatch, I was finally able to solve a decades-long mystery as to the parents of my paternal great grandfather William Henry Lyon. Thank you so much!!

Hello Phillip,

Thank you for all the information posted on Swinfield Stanley!

Thanks Phillip,

I'm a little behind in my research. Correction pretty far behind. We have just moved into a new house and it was a rather big move. Right a round Christmastime as well, so I appreciate the good catch.Most of the older generation has passed, so I can only go from memory and some things were before my time. Thank you and have a great holiday!

Hi Phillip,

Thank you for pointing me to the book of William Stanley and descendants, I appreciate it. You're right, Margaret Stanley and her family are a confusing bunch. Thanks again.

Hi Phillip, Thank you for bringing Thomas Stanley to my attention. I'll take a look and see what I can find.

Thank you Phillip. Everything you need re the Thornburgh's is right Here with much more to come.

Thanks for looking into the possible error involving [Stanley-1567|James Stanley]]. It appears I messed it up. I was simply doing a drive connect.

...Agnes (w. Shadarack) & ch. Robert, Jesse, Judith, Mary, Edward, Anna Elizabeth, Richard and Henry rocf. Cedar Creek Va. dated 1784, 10, 9.

No James listed. Now of course it's possible James was an older son and had already established his own family, but not likely at 15. According to naming conventions, James son of Shadrack would have been the second son. Parents married in 1764, so son John born 1765, son James 1767 but the marriages for James Stanley are listed as 1786 & 1802. I see no reason to believe with any certainty that Shadrack had a son James and I see abundant

RE: 2 Sarah Walkers. Yes there are two, Sarah M. married Edwin Rich in 1866 in Indiana and Sarah J. A. married Sanford Rich in 1927 in LA. Not only that, I see according to my index, there have been several other Sarah Walkers in the family in the past just to confuse everyone. Sorry to take so long to get back on this...

Thank you for the help on Rev. George Swaim and son Absalom Swaim.

Phillip! I am ashamed! THANK YOU for finding the documents on my grandmother Cora Sessions Breece Cabaniss more than a year ago! I had no idea whom she lived with after her parents died. Somehow this was missed. Again, much appreciation for your kindness. You are what makes genealogy such fun! Barbara Breece Roesch

I see two of my family members match you. But I don't know the connection. We do not have any Burnettes in our family. Interesting.........

Hello Phillip, my Bowmans are from Washington County. That is not to say none lived in Patrick County, I just don't know of them. I took a look at your John Burnette (1873-1937) and found that his parents was Elisha Burnett and Martha Patsy Alley of Grayson, Carroll, Virginia. There is a picture of his wife Orpha, Children Matt, Elisha, Dexter, Ruth, Mary, and Eunice. Why do you think that a Bowman may be his father? I guess I am still trying to understand.

Hi Phillip, on the Reddings/Reddins. Every resource I'm finding is Reddins. I thought I'd clean up and clarify and let those of you who know to double check. See what you think.

So in regards to Walter Mathews. The DOB thing is rather odd, however I have recently discovered his daughter is still loving and I am hoping to get more accurate info from her. I did notice on family search that someone has him confused with a “Guy Mathews”. So I’m sure this has something to do with at least a portion of the confusion.
