INGALLS TO ABBOTT TO STEARNS TO NANCE CONNECTION
I was researching my family tree when I happened upon the name of Ingalls. Naturally this peaked my interest and I decided to follow that line. This is what I found (short version):
Laura Elizabeth Ingalls-Wilder, daughter of Charles and Caroline Ingalls. Henry Ingalls and Sarah Farnum, Charles Ingalls' GGGGG-grandpa and GGGGG-step-grandma. Before or after Sarah Farnum married henry she was married to George Abbott, Great Grandpa to Sarah Abbott, wife of Josiah Stearns, who was GGG-grandpa to John Dump Stearns, Dad to Mary Emily Stearns, wife of Alvy Nance, who was my Great-grandpa.
If this helps any:
Josiah Stearns 1732-1788
John Dump Stearns 1843-1893
Alvy Nance 1878-1958
JOHN GOODMAN FROM ENGLAND
I need info on John Goodman who was born 1557 in Southhill, Bedfordshire, England and died in 1620 same place as birth. I need the names of his parents when and where they were born/died. Here is what i have so far.
John Goodman
B: 1557
D: 1620
First Marriage:
Katherine Jefferies
B: 1561
D: 1670
Children: 1
Willliam Goodman
B: 1586
D: 1670
Second Marriage:
Mrs. John Goodman
B: 1561
D: 1631
Children: 3
Judith Goodman
B: 1583
William goodman
B: 1586
D: 1670
Thomas Goodman
B: 1589
Were Kkartherine and William together when they died and how did they die?
Did John and katherine get a divorce?
Or, could Katherine and Mrs. John Goodman be one ; and the same?
I was also was looking at the Mayflower website to see if any of my family were on it and came across the name of John Goodman. The Mayflower John Goodman supposedly died at Plymouth when the sickness hit. That was according to the papers of a man from that time. The website stated that his name was mentioned in a later census, 1627 I think. Then they say he was not mentioned in one later than that so he must have died. What if he did not die but chose to go back to England and is it fairly possible that this John Goodman that I post about could be the Mayflower John Goodman? Just because a name does not appear in a census does not mean the person is dead. They could have just moved. A thought just struck me, what if someone else used his name to gain access for the Mayflower. That same person could have hurt him to get whatever credentials he had that stated he was John Goodman and he could have died from those injuries. Back then I am not so sure they had photo IDs. If there are any that are from the Mayflower Society that reads this, please let me know what you think of this. Could it be plausible?

I will however put it in a later comment if anyone is interested.
There is an interesting story Grandma told me about her dad's death. She told me just before he passed away that he told her mom that he would visit her in a week. He closed his eyes and Grandma said they all heard a sound that sounded like a tater wagon rolling across a bridge. She said it was loud and when someone looked out there was nothing there, but you could here it. The sound faded and they discovered her dad had passed on.
Well, a week later, Mary went into labor and had a child. She saw what William meant by he would be back in a week. The son was the spitting image of his dad.
LOOKING FOR INFO ON HELEN AND WESLEY PENROD
My grandmother was Mabel Leona Nance and Wesley or Helen (I believe it was she) was my grandma's cousin. the only thing I know about them is they lived in ky in a town or city where the state line between Ky and Tn was down the middle of the street. They had or have a daughter named Wilma who married (if I am not mistaken) an oriental man.
I need the dates of their births, marriage, deaths, their daughter's info, and who their parents were.
I forgot to mention I had met them when Wilma was 18. I can still remember Wilma like it was just a few years instead of a few couple of decades. I was born in '71. Wilma also taught her younger cousins how to write the alphabet as faces. You make the letter and faces on them. The other thing I remember is Wilma getting out in the yard playing with us and then her tiring. She would tell us, when we protested, that she was young anymore. I never understood this until I got older.
If Wilma happens to see this I have a family tree on ancestry.com. It is titled The Nance Family Please feel free to leave comments. And that goes for any others that think they are related to me. i just dstarted researching and need all the help I can get.
Thank you all.
Looking for the parents of John Bell Grimes.
He is my Great-Great Grandpa on my dad's mother's side. He was born Dec. 1, 1865 in Williamson, Illinois and died Feb. 8, 1899.
My dad said John Bell was not forth-coming about his background and would not tell people where he was from. I know he is Native American and I also heard about his wife dying i think in child-bit=rth; and john Bell would carry the child on his back as a papoose while working in the field.
Any Info would be greatly appreciated. my Grandma always wanted to do a family tree, but she passed away before she could do one and now I am trying to do it. I am thinking about turning our family tree into a book along with stories from the olden days; and I would dedicate it to Grandma and all of our ancestors.
Thank you all.
Mary Alice Gentry born in Pontotoc, Mississippi
Mary Alice was my Grandma on my mom's side. She was born maybe somewhere around 1930's maybe in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. She was married to James Marion Winters who was born about 1928 in Pontotoc County, Mississippi.
Mary Alice died sometime around 1989 or later. She was living in Rockford, Illinois or somewhere closeby at the time of her passing.
Her mother-in-law was modell joyner (@ least I was told, by my mom, his mother's name was Modell and then I found a Modell Joyner on ancestry.com. It said her husband was Samuel James Winters. Mom told me James Marion Winter's dad was James Samuel Winters. i believe these are my Great-grandparents, though I can make no connection to them and my Grandpa Winters.)
If there are any relations from Pontotoc County, Mississippi or Rockford, Illinois can you pleasehelp me find a connection or find the ones that are his family?
Thank you all, Maria
Mary Amelia Ingalls (Laura Ingalls-Wilders' sister)
I read on wikipedia Mary never got married, but in one of the family trees that has her they had down that she married Adam Kendall. Is wikipedia right or are the ones that put down Adam? They even had dates and places for him, so I thought I would add the him to my tree to see how far it would go. It came up with parents and siblings. My tree was done on ancestry.com.
Wikipedia also said she never taught at the blind school, if not then what did she do with her life? It said she left the school for about a year, but that Laura's book never elaborated why. Could she have married Adam and something happened between them. It said after she returned back to school she finished he course, then returned home to live with her parents until they died. Then she lived with Carrie until Carrie died, then lived with Grace until her own death. it said she died in Grace's house.
It seemed to me her life seemed very uneventful.
