2301	There are erroneous records on ancestry.com	KNIGHT, Edwin Allan (I8284)
2302	There are several theories about John named in Theophilus Simotnon Sr's will as a grandchild. There is no positive proof on this issue to date. In searching during the last many years, circumstantial information has surfaced. The theory that the Author feels may be a reasonable explaination is developed as follows: This John Simonton, grandchild of Theophilus and Mary Simonton was the son of Theophilus II who died in Lancaster Co. Pa in 1750 as proven by an empty will packet which is in the Court House in Lancaster Co. which we have seen to verify its existance. This would indicate that Theophilus II died intestate and either left a will and it was lost or some other reason for the Will packet being there and empty. We from this implication assume he was married and had a family. We do not know who the wife was but assume she died before he did. We have made the assumption that her last name was a Frame as when the Simonton family was living in Lewes Delaware they were very close to the Frame family and we believe a sister of Theophilus Simonton I who was named in the Will of Archibald Smith the brother of Mary, wife ofTheophilus Simonton by receiving a gold ring. This ring later showed up in a will related to the child of Robert Frame. With this thin link, we can assume that Theophilus II was the oldest son of the Senior and married in Delaware and moved with the family to Lancaster Co. PA. We therefore believe that the John named in the Will of the Sr. Theophilus who named a John and Mary as Grandchildren and since there were 18 other grandchildren alive in 1754 and were not named by Theophilus Sr. in the will because his son who had died and he remembered only those heirs of his son Theophilus II Robert Simonton, son of Theophilus I was apparently the first Simonton to come to North Carolina in about 1749 or 1750. At that time Rowan Co did not exist and the area that Robert came to was Anson Co., NC, USA. He received a Land Grant from Granville in the southern most part of Anson Co., which later became York Co. South Carolina with the redrawing of the State Boundaries. We know that Robert owned this land until 1786 as a deed transfer has been found when this was sold to another party not relared to the Simonton Family. Robert did not live on this land for long as herelocated in Rowan Co (Iredell Co) along 4th Creek with his sisters and their husbands, the Allison's. Robert having already received a Grant of Land, wasrequired to purchase his land along 4th Creek and this is where he lived. After Robert's Mother and Brother William and the Grandchildren of Theophilus Simonton I, John and maybe his sister Mary, the children of Theophilus II came to NC and the grandchild grew to maturity. John having possibly married in PA had two sons, one Adam born about 1748 and John born before 1760 and possibly several daughters. If Adam was born about 1748, he was born in Pennsalvania, probably in Lancaster Co. This grand nephew, John, of Robert went to Roberts land in York Co SC to start his life by starting a family of his Own. Because of the boundary dispute between North and South Carolina no land was available in York Co, so John went to Chester Co and after marrying Margaret Strong, his family prospered in South Carolina. This marriage into a descendent of the Gaston family supports the belief that Robert Married a Gaston in PA and since Roberts Daughter Ann married a Gaston that came over from Ireland to America, supports the connection of these families furthur. Adam, the other son of John located in the northern part of Rowan (Iredell)Co and possibly married a Cooper. This Adam relocated with all of his children to Ohio when that territory first opened up for settlement. This John Simonton is buried in an unmarked grave, Bethany Presb. Church, Statesville, NC, USA At the time of the printing of this collection of family history, the above facts are not proven but theories built on circumstantial evidence of land sales, dates and printed journals of later descendents. Since the only Census record is 1790, tax records and land transactions have been used to develop this theory. Another basis of this theory is the naming of children in the various families relates to the ancestors in relation to the naming patterns of the time. Some day this may be proven or a better explaination will be offered.	SIMONTON, John (I659)
2303	There are still Goins's in Lincoln County, Arkansas. My parents were William Alexander Goins (1871-1950) and Martha Suzanna Keahey. William's parents were Jesse Lee Goins (1808-1890) and Mary Elizabeth Boyd (Ancestry message board, Lincoln County, AR, USA, http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.arkansas.counties.lincoln/527/mb.ashx) HISTORY OF LINCOLN COUNTY, AR, USAKANSAS 1871-1983 Published 1983 by the Lincoln County Historical Committee Page 124 WILLIAM ALEXANDER GOINS William Alexander Goins born to Jessie Lee and Mary Elizabeth Boyd Goins 4 March 1871 at Mt. Home near Star City, Arkansas. He lived there with his parents until their deaths. On 28 July 1901 he married Martha Susanne Keahey, born 2 December 1879 at Garnett, Arkansas. They married in the home of her parents, James Jackson and Permelia Theodocia Keahey in Garnett by Reverend E. R. Whitehead, and lived in Mt. Home where their first five children were born: Jessie Lee, 30 July, 1902 to September 1963; James Edward, 4 February 1904; Elmer Eldridge, 4 November 1905; Ella Mae, 4 November 1907; Homer Travis, 30 December 1909 to 10 April 1936. About 1911 they sold the home and farm to Jimbo Sceifres (sic) Scifres and moved north of Star City where they bought a home on five acres adjoining the City property, one-half mile from the Court House. Four more children were born: Dorothy R. V., 11 September 1912 to 1February 1947; Willie Woodrow, 19 September 1916; J. K. (Jake), 16 March 1918; Mary Elizabeth, 17 September 1921. Our parents were great providers for their nine children. A one acre garden and an orchard provided good nourishing food, plus animals and poultry for meat and dairy products. Dad farmed the land and was a finished (finishing) carpenter by trade. Mother kept a clean house and was a good cook. Although we had few clothes, they were always clean and well kept with help from the older children. Our father helped rebuild Star City after the fire that destroyed two blocks of buildings surrounding the Court House on the west and south sides. The building he and the family were most proud of was the finished carpentry he did in the Methodist Church. It was the first brick church in town. The children were educated in local schools. The five oldest had the same first grade teacher, Mrs. Eaton. There were always enough children at home to have a ball team and play games. We were not allowed to quarrel and fight. Our parents had a cure -- placing us seated face to face until we finally laughed or seated on the floor holding onto the bed post. All received their share of Black Gum switches. So many happy times like popping corn and roasting ham slices in the fireplace far outweighed any unhappy ones. Our parents lived long enough to see all their children grow up, marry and have families of their own. When fire destroyed their home and everything they owned except the clothes they were wearing, our brother, Elmer Eldridge, built them another home on their property where they lived until their deaths: Father, 23 May 1950, Mother, 20 July 1965. They are buried with their children, except Jessie Lee, in Shady Grove Cemetery near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. James and family still live in Star City. The rest are scattered in Arkansas, Calfornia and Nevada. But we all still love and call Star City - HOME! Ella Mae Goins Eberle Carolyn's Note: I don't know just who "Jimbo" Scifres was, but a brother of my husband's father married a Scifres from Lincoln County. Perhaps Jimbo was Thomas Newton Scifres, her father	BOYD, Elizabeth (I1823)

2312	There was another Charles A. Boyd, born abt 1828, the son of Charles (born Ireland) and Ellinor Boyd. LIved in Chester County in 1850 census. This is probably the C. A. Boyd that was discharged from Company A, 6th SC Infantry on 19 September 1861 due to sickness.	BOYD, Charles A (I1391)

2326	This message is years old, so hopefully you have gotten somewhere in your research...My husband is a grandson of Jesse Bradly Baskin, who was a younger brother of Donie and older brother of Turner Landon. Their parents were Rufus J. Baskin and Madora E. (they MAY have been first cousins)! Other children were Crahard Melvin, who I believe has a road named after him in Tipton County, Thelma I. and Elbert T. Rufus was a son of Rufus T. and Martha Helen Dacus. Rufus T. was a son of Moses. I am in the process of researching my husband's family, so if there are any Baskin descendents out there who have additional info, I would love it!

2331	Thomas M. Petty was a son of William Eli Petty & Lucretia ("Lucy") (Wright) Petty. Tom's paternal grandparents were William Petty & Elizabeth (Ransdall) Petty, and his maternal grandparents were John Wright III and Ann (Williams) Wright. Tom's father was a Revolutionary War veteran. On August 4, 1825, Thomas M. Petty married Louisa Whyte Roberts in Madison County, Alabama. She was a daughter of Robert Whyte Roberts & Nancy Anne (Gibbons) Roberts. Louisa's father was a lawyer, judge, representative, speaker and congressman. The Pettys and Roberts were wealthy plantation & slave owners. Shortly after they married, Thomas & Louisa Petty moved from Madison County, Alabama to Bradford County, Tennessee. By 1830 they were living in Lincoln County, Tennessee, and by 1833 they had settled in Scott County, Mississippi, just outside the town of Hillsboro. Altogether Tom and Louisa raised ten children. The Pettys were plantation farmers and owned slaves. According to their great-great-granddaughter, Mrs. Lillie Bell (Stanbery) Heddins, when their children married, they would give them a wedding gift of 7 (or 9) slaves. According to Marielou Roach Fair (in "Roach, Roberts, Ridgeway and Allied Families"), Thomas M. Petty was a medical doctor. His son-in-law, Samuel Curtis, was also an M.D. Thomas M. Petty died at the age of 83 or 84 in 1887. It is uncertain exactly where he was buried, but it's possible he was buried in the Roberts Family Cemetery on their "Long Avenue" plantation, just outside of Hillsboro where his wife's father was buried. Apparently just after Tom's death, Louisa moved to Ruston, Louisiana, presumably to live with one of her grown children. She died within a short time that same year. NOTE: Many researchers have misread Thomas M. Petty's middle name as "Merce" or "Mercer" as it seems to appear on his father's will. However, upon close inspection and comparison of the will writer's penmanship, the second letter ("o") is open at the top, leading some to view it as "er" but other words in the document that obviously contain an "o" also appear to be an "open o" or "er." Thomas' daughter Nancy Hamlett's death certificate confirms that his full name was indeed "Thomas Moore Petty."

2332	Thomas R. Ford (1923–2006) We report in sorrow the death of Thomas R. Ford of Lexington, KY, USA, on April 27, 2006. In a quiet, modest, occasionally forceful, and always effective way, Tom Ford was more than a “triple threat.” His major contributions spanned the fields of rural sociology, sociology of the South, demography, international development, and Appalachian culture. He served as President of the Rural Sociological Society (1972–73) and of the Southern Sociological Society (1976–77). Most of Tom’s professional career was spent at the University of Kentucky, where he served from 1956 until his retirement as Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center for Developmental Change in 1990. Tom’s graduate students would claim that his major contribution was in guiding and supporting them through their graduate education and into their careers. When the department launched a Distinguished Alumni Award, it soon became apparent that almost everyone who was being honored was a student of Tom’s. As a result, the department formally renamed the award the Thomas R. Ford Distinguished Alumni Award. One student wrote, on hearing of his death, “I had reason to seek his advice about a sometimes strange admixture of academic and personal concerns. There was not a single time when he failed to be concerned, supportive, and willing to offer useful advice… He was a good person who never expected a drop more from others than he demanded of himself. The personal and professional model that he so consistently provided shaped my career…” Not surprisingly, Tom was a recipient of the University’s Sturgill Award, given annually to recognize excellence in graduate education. Colleagues as well as students valued Tom’s guidance because he accepted people and career paths on their own terms, to deal with disagreements without losing perspective, to recognize the sometimes hidden strengths in people, and to be frank but kind when pointing out aspects of performance that needed to be improved. Beyond his skills as a mentor, Tom was fun to be around. Regardless of the situation, he could find humor in it and entertain his companions with stories and wry observations. Thomas R. Ford was born in 1923 in Lake Charles, LA, USA. He earned his BA and MA degrees at Louisiana State University and PhD from Vanderbilt. During World War II, Tom was a pilot in the 413th AAF Squadron, flying many missions over Germany. He retained his love of flying and continued to fly for recreation and professional trips until his final illness interfered. Tom also had a passion for tennis and almost always found an hour in the middle of his long working days to join others for a set or two. This, too, he continued as long as his health permitted. When Tom came to the University of Kentucky in 1956, sociologists had faculty appointments in two Colleges—Arts and Sciences and Agriculture. Although a majority of the faculty supported a unified department, their budgets and ultimate responsibilities continued to be tied to the College of their primary appointment. As a faculty member and a department Chair, Tom provided the leadership, patience, diplomacy, and persuasion needed to make this awkward arrangement work. In fact, Tom’s efforts to unify previously hired sociologists and include newly appointed medical sociologists in departmental affairs were instrumental in leading the University to consider sociology one of its significant strengths. Professionally, Tom provided expertise that often transcended traditional specializations. His study of the health characteristics and status of Kentuckians, published in book form as Health and Demography in Kentucky by the University of Kentucky Press, was a basic document in the planning of the University’s then new Medical Center. He devoted his sabbatical leave periods to the study of cultures in several developing countries (Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica) and was looked to for his knowledge of Latin American cultures. His edited, The Southern Appalachian Region: A Survey, published by the University of Kentucky Press, helped guide the creation of the federal Appalachian Regional Commission and remains a classic historical work on Appalachia. Tom served as a member of President Lyndon Johnson’s National Advisory Committee on Rural Poverty and was a contributor to the Committee’s still vibrant report, “The People Left Behind.” Tom is survived by his wife of 56 years, Harriet Lowrey Ford, their four adult children, Margaret, Janet, Charlotte, and Mark, five grandchildren, and devoted friends who cherish the memory of his wisdom, his energy, his expertise, his humor, his kindness, and his “can do it – let’s do it” spirit.
