A Special Request
This genealogy allows for a "Note" to be
associated with every individual but for many of them it is either blank or very skimpy.
I welcome any of you to write a biographical sketch
or memoir about any person appearing herein (or yourself) and send it to me for inclusion
with the person's genealogical entry. This may seem like an unrewarding task but consider
how much you would love to read a paragraph, or just a sentence, written by one of your
great grandparents about their life and times or that of their mother or father. If you
send something about yourself but do not want it on the web site I will place it only in
my master file.
Remember, there is nothing so utterly
lost as the chance to ask a question of someone who has died, especially a question to
which only they would know the answer.
As I have remarked in the Introduction, to preserve
this genealogical work I intend to transcribe my master file into book format and have a
limited printing done. Besides placing copies in the hands of some of you I will give
copies to public libraries in the major towns and states from which our ancestors came,
and into the archives of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) for long term
preservation.
So, please write
something now - Before it is too late!
Thanks,
Lynn
P.S.: If you do not wish to write a
finished piece, send me the relevant facts and I'll apply my miserable talents to writing
something suitable. [Contact Me]

Genealogy Work Assignments
If anyone
wanted to continue working on this genealogy, one place to start is with the end-of-line
individuals. These are the ancestors for whom I have either not found the parents, have
not found records I believed were credible, or just decided to quit with them because
enough is enough.
There are many
of them, 328 on the Gallup side and 77 on the Miles side. To think of tracing all of them
is a daunting prospect to say the least so the list has to be pared down. The ancestors
with whom I would start would be those most recently living. These would be the people who
might be interesting in terms of their having had a hand in the pioneering of America.
Let's say those who were probably living in the 1700's or later. Here they are:
Gallup side:
Mrs. Edward Allen Sr., "Sarah", b. abt. 1650, d.
abt. 1720
Margaret Boehm, born abt. 1749
John Enos,d. abt. 1798
Lemira A. Fuller, b. 1818, d. 1851
Mary Hickey, d. 1783
Phebe Holmes, b. abt. 1744, d. 1828
Mrs. Joseph Latham, "Mary", b. abt. 1646, d. abt
1727
John Marcy, b. abt. 1662, d. 1724
Mary Morrill, b. 1623, d. 1703/04
Seymour Sherwood, b. abt. 1776, d. 1853
Mrs. Seymour Sherwood, "Elizabeth", b. 1783, d.
1864
Deborah Stallyon, b. 1649/49, d. 1729
Elizabeth Stone, b. abt. 1733
Marjorie Stuart, b. 1731/32, d. 1807
Mary Wyatt, b. 1717, d. 1761
Miles side:
Elizabeth Baker, b. 1776, d. 1863
Joseph Curran Sr., b. abt. 1777
Catherine Dill (or Dillin), b. 1737, d. 1805
Fanny Ward, b. 1789, d. 1846
The genealogy pages will give you
names of spouses and the line which ends with them.

About the Music:
The
music you should be hearing is totally familiar yet very different, isn't it. It is a
variation on the work of Franz Schubert arranged by Catherine Rollin which she names
"Ave Maria for a New Millennium". So far as I know, it is only available
in this MIDI rendition which comes with the sheet music.
Now listen to a vocal rendition of this famous piece by a
performer who is definitely not known to be a singer of "art" songs; Nana
Mouskouri is a Greek lady who has recorded a prodigious number of albums in the Folk/Pop
ballad genre'; I was suprised to hear her try this one.
