I am a "Haynie" ancestor [descendant]

I have read some of the writings from this web site and must admit, I am related to my Greatest Great Grandfather Patrick Calhoun Haynie according to my family's research and my roots come from South Carolina, Alabama, California, Texas and Arkansas. My grandmother was Mary (married several times according to all the marriage certificates I have) and was married to my grandfather Ezra. Please correspond with me to learn where and whom my roots are (Haynie Family and their kin/spouse). Hope someone contacts me soon.....

Editor: I used to know a Bill Haynie in Billings, Montana, had two sons, Roger and Preston. Divorced from Joann. I think it would be easier if you called me so we can ascertain if our lines cross. Do you happen to have Patrick Calhoun Haynie's journal. I know it is out there and would love to get a copy.

Abraham Zundel

I am interested in where you got your information of Abraham Zundel living in Thatcher Arizona, and what years he was suppose to have lived there. Abraham is my husbands Great Grandfather, and we own the home where he and Abigail lived up to their death. The house contained many letters, papers, stories, pictures ect. I can find no record of him ever living any where but Willard except for his missions. Please help me out with this I am very interested in what you have.
Thank You,
Sherry Zundel

Little Colorado river

Hi: I just kind of stumbled upon this site and took an intrest in it because I was born in Springerville, although I have lived in Sierra Vista Az for the past 40 years. There is one minor mistake I found in regards to the Little Colorado River. It states that "the little Colorado which runs through Springerville, runs north out of the Grand Canyon". This is not true. The little Colorado runs north through Springerville but it starts up in the higher elevations of the White mountains and runs toward the grand canyon and eventually runs into (I think) the colorado river.

Stephen Taylor and Joanna Porter/ Sarah White

We seem to have a problem here with the Taylor line as to who married who from here on down. He could not have married Joanna Porter as you have stated because he died on September 18, 1665 Hatfield Mass with his brother-in-law during an indian attack. This has been a problem for the Taylor line and I would love to chat with you about it and hopefully come to some conculsion. Please e-mail me with a telephone number so we can chat on my dime provided your in US or Canada.
Sincerely,

Although I am not a polygamist I feel that the freedom of religion in the United States constitution should protect ALL... religions, even polygamists. I feel that the world is becoming more open and understanding and someday polygamists will be able to practice freely! I am doing a paper n polygamy for my law class. I just wanted to show my support.

Melissa Lampman Brown

Hi, My name is Kim Draney Weston, I am the daughter of Norman Elmo Draney. Grandaughter to Melissa Lampman Brown. I sent some pictures in, along with some updates, on my father Norman Draney Melissa and Elmo Draney\'s youngest son. I had hoped that they would be posted on the site. I would like the updates to be known. My father was born July 18, 1936 in Ogden, Utah. He married my mother Barbara Lou Brown, daughter to Richard William Brown and Esther Irene College, on September 21, 1955. My father died in Glendale, Arizona, on September 24, 1984, the victim of a drunk driver. My mother passed away May 31, 2006. I hope someone can contact me or advise me as to how I might be able to post photos and information it would be great. I have photos of my father\'s siblings, my Aunt Viola and Uncle Gene, that I noticed were not on the site also better pictures of my Grandmother and Grandfather. And just as a curious note, since I never knew my Mom\'s dad, he too was the victim of a drunk driver when she was only 3....but, he was also a Brown...does anyone know if he is an ancestor of Captain James Brown? I imagine he was but don\'t know the facts.
Sincerely,
Kim Draney Weston

Editor:
Hi Kim, Thank you for your e-mail. You can find a little bit of information on the webpage about your parents. You will find that Barbara Lou Brown is the great-great-granddaughter of Ebenezer Brown, one of the co-founders of Draper, Utah. Ebenezer's father and grandfather are from Kirkcudbright, Scotland in the early 1700's so no connection to Captain James Brown, unless it is an indirect sibling connection that I haven't found as yet. You typed that Barbara died in 2006, did you mean 2005? What is her birthdate in 1935? Please send pictures to LucyGenealogy@hotmail.com. This chat room software does not provide for attachments. If you send a biography I can make a full webpage for your parents. Do you have a better photo of Melissa Lampman Brown and/or her husband Willard Elmo Draney? I would love to receive these for this site. I have more information on your family on my PAF file. I am trying to find time and information on how to attach my PAF to this website, password accessible only for the privacy of living family members. Stay on the look out for that possibility.


Hi Lucy, Yes I have better pictures of Melissa and Elmo, I will forward them to you...Yes I did mean 2005. My Mother was born in 1936, in Lehi, Utah...Thank you so much for the information on my Mother's side of the family...My husband has teased me for years that we are imbred... LOL...not funny.
Thank you again,
Kim Draney Weston
