I am looking for any information on Nathaniel Finch born on Sept 19 1737 in Virginia died on Nov 2 1773. It is said he married a Cherokee Indian woman by the name of Millie (Molly) and had a daughter named Martha Patsy Finch. After Finch died Millie married John Elswick. If you have any documentation in your book about this or who Nathaniel Finch's parents were I'd really appreciate it. Millie would be my 5th great grandmother. Lisa

If you check out Irene SCHAFFER's web page or her book 'Edward MURPHY Soldier artist' or google edward MURPHY 99th regiment there is a fair bit of information on the net. Rosalie CARLISLE is also descended from Margaret MURPHY, whom was one of Henrys older sisters. She has an entry at the bottom of the email page to contact her.

Hello my name is Patrick O'dell Finch, son of Micheal Roy Finch. He is one of 2 sons of Roy Paul Finch who in turn is one of the sons of Paul Mitchell Finch, He is son Thadius Ledora Finch. I too am looking for some info, if you have any let me know please. Thank you

Re: Crowville, Louisiana Finch

patfinchgve — 2012-04-11 14:26:57Z

Heck yeah I am very interested, I had got in touch with a Dr. bob finch in orange texas. He is son of Robert Finch, who is son of Jonathon I think, I think he is also son or grandson of Thadius. I get confused and I don't have my notes in front of me at this moment, but he is sending me some pictures of the five brothers of Thadius. Not sure if the your GGmother is in there I will let you know, Dr. Bob said he mailed them yesterday. How do I see your stuff? My dad was all over the country from Hattisburg MS, to Utah to Arizona. I grew up in Cliff, New Mexico, my step dad was a cowboy on a huge ranch, now I live in Silver City New Mexico, I am an electrical contractor. My phone number is 575-494-3134, and my e-mail is "patfinchgve@hotmail.com". Feel free to contact me anytime and please keep in touch. Thank you for responding, it's nice to be able to see about this side of my family. What is your name?

Re: Crowville, Louisiana Finch

annkrischer — 2012-04-11 14:10:59Z

Well that is a sad story. I guess there have been a number of divorces starting pretty far back with this family. Feel free to look at whatever I have on this family. My greatgrandmother was Lillie Catherine Finch Hawkins and she was a daughter of Thadius Finch. She died before I was born so I only have what my mother told me and what I've found on Ancestry. But I do have the Finches pretty far back if that interests you. Where do you live? I grew up mostly in Jackson, MS but now live in upstate NY.

Re: Crowville, Louisiana Finch

patfinchgve — 2012-04-11 13:50:49Z

Hello, well I might be wrong on this not sure. I have just recently found my dad's dad. Which is Roy Paul Finch. His dad must be Paul Mitchell. Roy Paul was married to Barbara Allison. They had 1 son which is my dad Micheal Roy Finch. After their divorce my dad lost contact with his dad at the age of 17. Roy Paul got remarried and had another son, who is Keith Chappell Finch, I'm not sure what his moms name was. We did meet him finally last summer. According to Keith he grew up never knowing he had a brothers so there was never any contact on this side of my family for over 40+ years. Thats as far as I have gotten.

Re: Crowville, Louisiana Finch

annkrischer — 2012-04-11 13:22:49Z

Hi Patrick, I have a Paul Mitchell Finch b. 1881 in Scott Co., MS as a son of Thadius; could this be the same as Roy Paul Finch? Also have a son of his as Roy Finch b. 1910 in MS. In the 1930 Census I see Paul Mitchell Finch living in Forrest Co., MS with his wife, Eloise Sharpe, his kids and his father in law, Rufus Sharpe. Also living with them is Mr. Sharpe's son, Grover, b. 1894 in MS. Does this sound like your Finches? I am trying to determine why Thadius and his first wife, Ann Eliza Faulkner, divorced and she and most of the children moved to Crowville, LA.

I am looking for an obituary for Betsy E Finch who died 18 February 1900 in Waltham, LaSalle, IL. Hoping that someone has a copy in their family records. Unfortunately, the newspapers from this time period were destroyed and the copy I have when photocopied was covered over. Betsy married John Harris in 1837. Her siblings were Lucinda who married Ira C Kinsley, Philinda who married Nathaniel Dominy, Mariah who married Amos P Southwick, Stephen who married 1st Mary Padden and 2nd Sallie Ann Baxter, widow of Stephen Spencer. Her husband John's siblings were James Harris who married Sarah E McIntyre, Cornelius, Mary who married Alonzo Van Buskirk, Hannah, William Finch who married Lucy A Roberts, Hiram who married Mary Shurter, Clarissa who married Frederick H Larkin, Platt who married Philena Robinson, Henry who married Deborah Southwick, Daniel Wortley who married Delia M Howard, Lydia Lucretia who married James Culver, Lursette Amanda, Corinthia Amelia, and Alfred E who married Mary A Smith.

FINCH in Cornwallis, Kings Co., N.S.

SJFraney — 2012-02-03 12:41:31Z

I'm curious about the FINCH family. I have Charles FINCH m. 3 Mar 1785 Abigail STRONG b. abt 1760 in Coventry, Tolland Co., CT the daughter of Stephen STRONG and Elizabeth BARSTOW with children George b. 1786 and Charles b. 1788. Nothing further on them. But in later records I have these other "loose ends":

Charles FINCH m. Ruth FOOTE b. 25 Oct 1792, the daughter of Robert FOOTE and Elizabeth KINNIE.

Charles "Edward" FINCH b. 20 Oct 1722 (from 1901 census), d. 14 Apr 1913 at Brooklyn St., Kings Co., N.S., m. 20 Jan 1851 in Lakeville to Eunice WORTH b. abt 1826. I have seven children listed for them. Eunice WORTH was the widow of Jeremiah RAND who died in 10 Apr 1849.

George FINCH m. 22 Nov 1812 in Cornwallis to Elizabeth PIERCE b. 2 Aug 1790, d. 1827 Johnston, Leeds Co., Ontario, the daughter of Ephraim PIERCE and Abigail BROOKS

Jeremiah B. FINCH b. abt 1833 in Nova Scotia, d. 8 Oct 1884 in Campobello, Charlotte Co., N.B., m. Mahala b. abt 1854 in New Brunswick. I have two sons - Wilson and Robert Bruce.

John FINCH b. abt 1841 in Nova Scotia, m. Cordelia b. abt 1844 in U.S.A. They were living in Campobello, N.B. in the 1881 census.

Phoebe A. FINCH b. abt 1814, d. 22 Sep 1893 at Brooklyn St., Kings Co., N.S., m. Reuben PEARSON b. 10 Nov 1811 in Cornwallis, the son of Abijah PEARSON and Esther CHASE. Reuben and Phoebe lived in Sackville, N.B. Phoebe m2nd Capt. Martin COLE. I have seven children for this family.

Looking for FINCH info plus anything that ties these folk together.

Rev Nathaniel Finch and Mary Miles

CD_Christensen — 2012-01-31 03:24:11Z

I was curious if anyone had ever investigated further the first wife (Mary 'Mercy' Miles) of Nathaniel Finch (1744-1829) and the three sons born to this union. Nathaniel later married Sarah Ferris, and then Abigail Smith. All of this info according to Claude B. Thummel.

Miles, son of Nathaniel and Sarah claims that the three sons of Nathaniel and the first wife Mary, died. My question is, 'when did they die?' It seems that it is possible that Miles could have written this information in his family bible long after his adulthood. This means that his step-brothers could have lived, had families of their own, and possibly died before their father passed on.

Re: Finch in Cumberland Co, NJ

rpwoolford2003 — 2012-01-27 10:50:20Z

I am trying to connect the Cumberland County, NJ Finch Family together, if there is a connection. Here are the Finch's that I have, can anyone confirm or deny any connections?

William Finch b ca 1770, no spouse name found. Believe he had the following kids: Matilda ca1793 m. Samuel Vanaman, John ca1794 m. Hester, William ca1797 m. Alice, Abiah ca1799 no marriage record found to date, Thomas E Steelman Finch ca 1806 m. Abiah Hayes.

John ca1771 d 30 July 1851 m. Catherine

Isaac ca1783 m. Nancy Loper on 18 Aug 1803 in Cumberland Co.

I believe that William, John and Isaac may be brothers.

Francis Finch ca1814 m. Catherine Britton (my ancestors)
William Finch b 1810-1812 (on census as brother to Francis)

I believe that Francis and William could be grandsons of William b ca1770

Please help. The finch family is elusive and it doesn't seem that any of them kept a family Bible to provide any details.

It appears that her parents died prior to 1850 as her sister (name unreadable) is living with Eliza & Corneluis in the 1850 census. They have 2 children Corneluis Albert H. Jones & Sybil Ann Jones.

Hi,
So sorry, but, the link you sent would not work for me so I approached this in a different way.
I need help with Sarah Finch and Thomas P. Hainesworth/Ainsworth. The period would be in late 1600's or mid 1700"s.
They are the parents of, my relative, ainsley ainsworth, which was married to George Washington Redmond, one of my grandfathers.
I have noticed, that they, moved from South Carolina, to Alabama, to Mississippi where they past away.
If you could help me find out more information about them I would so deeply appreciate it and, if you need, I will share what I have in my ancestry.

Thanking you so much for reading this email and I wish you a great day.

I am looking for any information that someone can provide on William Finch (born around 1830-1835) who married Catherine Hays in 1849 in Port Elizabeth. Also, William Finch (1836-1885) who married Judith Hess in 1862 in Maurice River Twp. Initially, I thought they may be one and the same until I finally found both of them on the 1870 census.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
