Everything but the kitchen sink.

Okay, let’s do a quick wrap-up here…

The PARK family has descendency ties to Robert E. Lee; his ancestor who was George Washington’s wife (maiden name CUSTIS); PARK/PARKE/PARKS descendants are connected to the Burchfields — the Burchfields via the Park line (somewhere) are kin to the Gustafsson/Justice family originally from Sweden; and how did I get here (this time)?

Tracing the Davis-Smathers connection of Aunt Betty Davis (married – Jack Abernathy) — trying to learn about her father’s family.

The other point of interest is the ties to a Cherokee Chief Oowahooskie (various spellings found). His ‘wife’ had been captured from a white settlement/group when she was about six years old. They had three sons; she and the sons were later released — they lived as white men, and were land-holders. This made for Cherokee heritage claims with US courts unsuccessful — but the Indian connection seems valid from research/sources found online, now.

There is also a connection between the PARK family and a CHANDLER line in Georgia…will follow this up later.

Another connection exist between the DAVIS line and the CARPENTER (ZIMMERMAN) families from North Carolina — this warrants further research, since my mother and my father’s ancestral line include connection to the CARPENTER (ZIMMERMAN) lines from the Carolinas.

NO direct Patey/PATE/PATTY connections — but have found AYERS/AYRES, PAYNE, and McClellan connections in the Carolina regions (where my husbands family were from)…The PAYNE connection may link up with the TEAGUE, SPEER, PERRY, OWEN or other related families who later migrated to NE Alabama (near Ft. Payne).

With the research from the past three days — “We are all kin” has more meaning then is previously did, for me.

Each friend I have helped with their family tree research, I have also found something that fit with prior research for my own complicated ancestral lines.

Are your ancestors included in this tangle of kinfolks?

Contact me with a bit of your grandparents vital statics (dates, location, family members) — I will see what I can find.

Sephardic Jews have lived in the state for more than 300 years,(*) (*) (*) especially in and around Charleston (*). Until about 1830, South Carolina had the largest population of Jews in North America. Many of South Carolina’s Jews have assimilated into Christian society, shrinking Judaism down to less than 1% of the total religious makeup. In addition, Roman Catholicism is growing in South Carolina due to immigration from the North.

For those who love history, dream of adventure, riches, and fame; for those really believe they’ll hit the jackpot on the lottery scratch-off, for those still look up at night to see the stars and passing clouds. and for those who love to touch the past, here’s a challenge to give meaning to your visions and put money in your pocket.: Whatever happened to the Confederate gold?

If you worry about the fiscal state of the country or the money in your own pocket, the gold spoils of the civil war offer hundreds of chances to expand your net worth.

Thought the Confederacy was poor and in a state of penury by the war’s end? The central government still had great wealth even as the war put the administration on the run. The last Confederate Cabinet meeting presided over by Jefferson Davis was held on May 2, 1865, in Abbeville, SC, at the Burt-Stark House.

By the time Lee surrendered, five wagons of gold and silver—coins, bricks, and bars, the remains of the Confederate treasury’s reserve–were loaded May 24, 1865 in Richmond, at the train depot. Captain Parker of the Navy and an escort of armed troops, guarded the gold on the ride from Richmond, Virginia, to Anderson, South Carolina. There the gold was reloaded to wagons for shipment to Savannah or Charleston.

Confederate president Jefferson Davis met the caravan at Washington, GA. Later, scouts observed Union troops near Augusta, and the caravan returned to Washington (which is now in Lincoln County).

Unknown raiders attacked the wagon train near the Dionysius Chennault Plantation (the home of an elderly Methodist minister)–only a 100 yards from the house. During the attack, the gold disappeared. Most researchers and contemporary observers believe it was hidden, but the location of this cache of riches remains a mystery.

Hi Phil,

I am sorry ,I was incorrect about My Rachel being Charlies sister. She was his fathers Jacob sister.There were 12 of them, I have there names if you want them.

According to the Toe River Valley Heritage Vol 1 &2.

Your Jacob was a brother of my grandmother Rachel m Edward Wilson. There father was George J. Silvers Jr. b 10-28-1753 Fredrick Co. Md. m Nancy Ann Griffith b 1766, they had 12 kids.

George Jr. father was George Silver Sr. (Jurg Silbers) b 2-1731 Germany m Sissy Market (Elizabeth Schmieden)Germany.

Jacob married Elizabeth Wilson they had 1 child Charles 10-3-1812 Elizabeth died during child birth. Jacob married Nancy Reed and they had 12 children.

I have a good story.

Jacob was a farmer and a Babtist min. in the Kona area for 50 years. Because he couldn’t read or write. His wife Nancy Reed would read the bible to him and he would memorize the scripture he used in his sermon.

He married Nancy on 10-6-1814 in Buncombe Co. Nc. She was the daughter of Samuel Reed.

They are buried at Silver Family Cem. in Kona, Nc.

Hope this helps!

Henry Gilbert Silver

Henry Gilbert Silver (1801-after 1880) was the ninth child born to George Silver Junior and Nancy Ann Griffith. Henry was born on October 26th, 1801, into an Evangelical Lutheran family. He would have been about five years old when the Silver family arrived in what is now Kona. Unfortunately, Henry did not leave us a lot of information on himself. It is sufficient to say that he did leave 17 offspring.

Henry married first Sarah Martha “Sally” Wilson, daughter of Edward Wilson. She was born about 1800 and died about 1842. This marriage produced seven children: (1) Nancy N. Silver who married George Silver “Big George” Wilson. (2) Rachel Silver married Thomas “Tommy” Thomas. (3) Elizabeth Silver married Thomas A. Wilson. (4) Eliza Jane Silver married Ervin Ray. (5) Lucinda Silver married Isaiah Henson. (6) Martha Silver (Martha must have died very early in that we have no information on her whatsoever.) (7) Sarah A. Silver married H.L. Hensley and moved to Georgia.

After Sarah Martha passed away, Henry married Nancy Ann Howell, born about 1824 and died after 1880. She was a daughter of Thomas Howell and Piety Wilson. This marriage produced 10 children. (1) Piety Louella Silver married Thomas S. Willis. (2) Frances “Frankie” Silver married Joseph Honeycutt (3) Cynthia Silver of whom we know nothing. (4) Thomas C. Silver married Rachel E. Allen and Amanda Jane Honeycutt. (5) John Britt Silver married Elizabeth Nancy Jarrett. (6) William Jasper Silver married Sarah C. Ball and Lula Mildred Gill. (7) Rev. Henry Gilbert Silver married Judith Lavette Grindstaff and Ruie Catherine Dills. (8) Margaret M. Silver, again we have no information on Margaret. (9) Malinda “Linda” Silver married Albert Laws. (10) Levi D. Silver m. Mandy L.

Henry is buried in the Rose Branch Cemetery in an unmarked grave. Most of Henry’s children moved east into McDowell, Rutherford, Gaston and Cleveland Counties.
