Lydia Rightmire b. abt 1843, Ohio

Vernon_Vinzant — 2006-10-22 19:32:36Z

Am seeking information on Lydia Rightmire, b. abt 1843 to Harrison and Amy Critchfield Rightmire.

Lydia Rightmire

Vernon_Vinzant — 2006-10-22 19:32:36Z

Yes, I have more of her ancestors, my notes and all generate a 44 page document for her ancestors -- lots are notes. Lydia Rightmire > Harrison Amy (Critchfield) Rightmire > James Elizabeth (Daugherty) Rightmire (VA or WV to OH about 1808). But I wasn't going to give you everything until I was sure you have the same Lydia. What file format do you want; I use Family Tree Maker 7.0

I had asked about Lydia rightmire based on an earlier e-mail you sent someone named dianna Suarez that said "Hi Dianna,
Yes, I have Lydia Rightmire as Solomon's one and only wife from the results of my Dad's work. The most likely Susan I have would have been Solomon's sister. Does that make sense?"

Thanks, that is a help. The Lydia rightmire i am interested in was born about 1843 in Ohio -- probably Knox county. Do you have any basis to guess that she might fit in this area and approximate age?

I really have found what I wanted. Diane Suarez, a descendant of Lydia has contacted me after another Headington researcher pointed me in the right direction. I'd be glad to share what I have. Diane is probaboy a better contact at: suareztribe@yahoo.com

There is an extensive Headington genealogy. My part is the intermarriage of Headingtons and Dunaways in Ohio before they moved to the Decorah, Iowa region. As far as I know, the Headingtons go back to Baltimore, Maryland where they first came into this country; others may have the ancestry back to England. I will research out what I have and E-Mail the data to you. Bonnie Headington (the family genealogist) and Ed Headington have quite a bit of data too.

Re: Benjamin HEADINGTON b. ca. 1845 OH d. IA - looking for descendants

ajramsay — 2005-09-16 01:37:26Z

Thank you, Valerie, for all the additional information. I keep meaning to provide a more detailed reply and enter all your data in my database, but I am just not getting to it. I did want to thank you and respond to a couple of points.

First, I think it is so cool that Nellie's middle name is Bly! Where did you find that piece of information?

Second, in regard to the 1887 birth date for Nellie, I include it to be complete, but I am certain that it is wrong. It is what one would get from her age given in the 1930 census. I am guessing that she said that so she wouldn't appear to be older than her husband (I've run across that more than once before). But it is definitely her in that census, as she is with her second husband, A.E. MALLORY, who was my great aunt's stepfather.

Third, do you know who Benjamin HEADINGTON's father is?

Fourth, do you mind sharing your sources of information with me? I am especially curious where the "Bly" comes from. My sources can be found in my Worldconnect database at
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ajramsay

Lastly, I will convey your email to my cousin, but I cannot guarantee that he will contact you. He's a bit eccentric and his interest fluctuates a great deal.

Thanks again and if I can get out from under things, I will post a more detailed response. Take care.

I'm trying to find out anything to the whereabouts of Margaret S. Headington born abt. 1906 in GA. She was the daughter of Archibald and Maude Mathis Headington. I know that her mother Maude, sister Mildred, Grandpa Franklin Mathis, brother Frank and sister-in-law are all buried in the same plot at Greenwood Cemetery in Atlanta. I can't believe that Margarets is still alive but I'd sure like to know where she is buried, if she ever married or if she or her brother Frank ever had children. Will appreciate any info. Thanks.

You're right about Nathan, and Keziah's parents have not yet been established. I have pages on this line...if you would like copies plus the address of the researcher who has done the most work on this line, e-mail me your snail mail address. I'm adding you to the Headington mailing list, if that's okay. Would love to see you next summer at the Decorah Headington reunion...

Hello - Iam researching my Marlow & Headington line back to my GGGrandparents, John Marlow (1762-1866) married to Elizabeth Headington (1794-1871) Both died in Winneshiek
Co. IA. I know that Elizabeths parents were Nathan Headington &, Keziah Gorsuch,
but know very little about their background. I believe that Keziah was born in Maryland
and there were many Gorsuchs, but cannot get her link. I believe that Nathans parents
were William Headington and Elizabeth Bosley, but would appreciate any information.
