All our compilations are on Chris Gaunt's home page: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt We are approaching our second anniversary. We have steadily grown to 192 subscribers. During the past two years, the number of individuals who have unsubscribed has been very small. Yet, I note a definite pattern among the unscribers. Time and time, I hear something like, "I've been reading the compilations, but never see information on my line." Folks, if you are reading the compilations and have never found your family listed, you can correct that problem. Send me information on your family. Not only will you see your family information listed, but everyone else will see it. You never know who will be reading the compilations next. The next subscriber could be the person who has the information you need. If you haven't already shared information on your family, I urge you to take some time soon and send us your family information.

That was a great idea. Thank you. Any information to the Via list that you think will help with the Burnett- Turner-Ross-Via list please feel free to send it out with your compilations. We do have a VIA web page now: http://members.aol.com/ssprad25/ViaPages/Index.html This page was done by Sandy Spradling. Thanks again, Judy jlmaupin@aol.com ========================= Subj: Re: List information-VIA, etc. Date: 97-11-29 10:19:10 EST From: Jlmaupin To: NCreed1 In a message dated 97-11-29 10:13:07 EST, you write: << I think we have an opportunity to help both groups by sharing information and letting folks know we're not in competition. <grin> >> Nyla, I agree. Until I became involved with the Via discussion group and with Sandy and her web page I didn't realize just how much connection there was between these four family lines. Of course there's more surnames than those, Corn etc. We are working primarily on the Via line but my goal is to be able to get the information out to everyone who is interested and think sharing and working together is the only way to go. Thank you, Judy ===================== Subj: Re: Comp 266 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 97-11-29 10:05:27 EST From: msb@myfamily.org (Barbara Farthing Bonham) Nyla, I don't believe we get them all either. I did find it. Thanks. Some good reporting on June's part, eh? One question..how did she determine Nathaniel Newbill's wife was Sara? I had it as Mary. Somewhere among the thousaand of pages of data here there is something that gave me that clue. I will try after the holidays to sort them out. Happy Holidays and thank you for your welcomed efforts. Cousin Barbara PD Have you ever heard of a James Smith TURNER? He would have been of the Charles Co MD Turner familiy. (for a non computer person) NCreed1@aol.com wrote: > Try comp 265.

What do I need to do? Thanks for the information. ================= Welcome. You're on the mailing list. Nyla ================== Subj: The Ross Family Date: 97-11-30 09:47:30 EST From: ekirkman@swva.net (Eunice B. Kirkman) To: ncreed1@aol.com (Nyla Creed) Thought you might have an interest in the following from a 1914 History of Armstrong County [Pennsylvania] with links to Derry and Scotland. ROSS The Ross family, represented in Armstrong county from the days of the early settlements, had distinguished connection with the development and history of this region. Judge George Ross, a large number of whose descendants continue to reside in the county, came here in 1800, and in his capacity of deputy State surveyor had considerable part in fixing the lines of early land purchases, etc. Rosston, in Manor township, takes its name from the family. John Ross, the earliest ancestor of the Rosses in America, was born in Scotland in 1685. His father, also named John, removed from that country with his wife and family of five children, in 1689, to the city of Derry, Ireland; the next year he took part in the battle of the Boyne. His son John, who was four years old when the family moved from Scotland, left Ireland in 1706 to escape the British pressgangs capturing young men for the army. He took passage in the ship "Northern Light," which was wrecked off the shoals of Cape May about the first of August, and he saved nothing but his clothes. Traveling up the Jersey shore, opposite New Castle, Del., he pledged his silver knee buckles for his ferriage across the Delaware river. Then he came into Pennsylvania, staying with William Miller, to whom he had letters from Ireland. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Ross was the surveyor for the John Cowan tract, and I do not have any other information on the family. ============================ Subj: RE: TURNER Date: 97-11-30 17:29:01 EST From: CMFA04C@prodigy.com ( RITA J SAGE) To: NCreed1@AOL.COM Nyla, I have been told that you are doing TURNER research and that you have a "TURNER List". I would like to subscribe to the list. I am looking for information on James R TURNER b about 1820, in SW VA. Probably Dickenson County but possibly Buchanan or Wise. James R. was married to Jane ???? poss. WOOD. Their dau Nancy Jane TURNER married John Hay, b 8 Oct 1855. Ambrose Hay son of Nancy Jane and John Hay was born abt 1880. their son was born about 1880. I am just beginning my search and most of the information I have now has been handed down and needs confirmation. Any help or direction you could offer would be appreciated. Thank You, Rita ======================== Rita: Welcome to the group. I really am not doing much research. My role is to cut and past eMails and send them to our group. Any additional information you care to share will be appreciated. Nyla ====================== David and All, On 27 Nov, David sent information on Descendants of Mary Ann KOGER-4376. According to his information, she married William P Ingram. I had shared information showing she married William P Corn on 27 Jun 1851. I have since done a check of the Patrick Co VA marriage c.d. and I find she married William H. Corn on 28 Oct 1852. At this point, I am totally confused. Can anyone help clarify who Mary Ann Koger actually married?
