Hello pappy here,  anyone with any genealogy info from Butler Co?

<pappy>   

Hello pappy here,  anyone with any genealogy info from Butler Co?

<Aarius>   

there is an old homestead in Eclectic Alabama

<Hondo>   

Smith,  Young,  White....<G> all the easy ones!

<Aarius>   

in fact according to my first cousin there is two old Rhodes homes up there

<Aarius>   

so far I have found three more cousins in the Abrams line

<Aarius>   

thanks to rootsweb.com

<Hondo>   

The Rhoades go back TO Quakers

<Aarius>   

Really?

<Aarius>   

I'm told the Boones to also

<Aarius>   

do

<Aarius>   

now I official type papers from the John F. Abrams side which is from my dad's mother's side

<Hondo>   

JOHN RHOADES was born 13th of sixth month 1664 in County Derby England,  and set sail on his 18th birthday for America,  Pa

<Aarius>   

I'll be very very pleased to get half that far in the Rhodes side

<Aarius>   

oh wow

<Aarius>   

one stump none of us cousins can get past is the wife of our Great grandfather

<Hondo>   

Let me know if you can scrape up some clues on Rhodes

<Aarius>   

I'll research this chat and see what I come up with on the RootsWeb site

<Hondo>   

I have found my lines nearly all go back to Castle Toward in Scotland in 1646 when a massacre left over 350 of them dead

<Aarius>   

are you related to the Rhoades

<Aarius>   

oooooohhh

<Hondo>   

no,  the Custers

<Aarius>   

ok

<Hondo>   

the only line that was not Scots

<Hondo>   

Mary Young Lamont (Lamont Clan) was wife of chief,  she escaped with her four sons

<Aarius>   

so how did you find this book about the Balls?

<Hondo>   

to Larne,  County Antrim,  Ireland,  and the four sons changed their names to

<Hondo>   

William White,  Andrew Young,  John Sitlington,  and Greene

<Aarius>   

goodness that makes finding relatives hard

<Hondo>   

Sent off for it,  but can't remember how I learned of it

<Aarius>   

I have a white in my line but it is Indian shortened from WhiteCloud

<Hondo>   

The point I was trying to make,  is that after I heard this tale,  I backtracked to Chalkley's Scotch Irish in Augusta Co,  VA

<Hondo>   

There every one of them,  and the other branches of Lamont Clan,  were all together

<Hondo>   

and migrated together

<Aarius>   

ahhha

<Aarius>   

wonderful!

<Hondo>   

The only way I have been able to determine if the White or Young I s in my line

<Hondo>   

just look at the neighbors

<Hondo>   

must go,  will try to remember to come back on Mon nites

<Aarius>   

my first cousin is really proud of my research and I told her about this chat room but her old computer couldn't keep up with this

<Hondo>   

<G>

<Aarius>   

take care hope to see you again
