Va. He moved to Tx in the 1840's, to Peters Colony Collins TX. He and his wife had 4 daughters
while in Peters Colony. His wife's name was Martha,? He married again to Mary Woods, and
moved to Hood Co and Parker Co Tx. I am interested in the ancestors of John Mitchell, his
parents, where they came from. I have the family line from John Washington Mitchell to
current day. Any one with information that would like to share, please contact me. Thank you for
you help, it is surely appreciated.

PERSING -
I am just beginning my genealogy quest, and fear that I may be in for a tough time. I am
researching my paternal family's name- Persing. I am stuck at my great- grandfather. My
paternal-grandfather's father is a mystery. It is unlikely that he and my paternal
great-grandmother were married (no marriage record has been found). The only thing that my
grandfather knows about his dad is that his name was Harry Persing, and, according to my
grandfather's step-father, he was a no-good bum from Northern Virginia. I'm afraid that's the
only link I have. Any knowledge that you could provide or suggestions for where to begin would be
much appreciated. Thank you,

best. Thank You, Debbie Walker-Meinhart

McCREARY -
I am looking for Edward McCreary and his wife may be Rosie/Rose/Rosa. His daughter,
Elizabeth, was born in 1837 so he probably married before 1837 and Edward was probably born
between 1800 to 1820 in Virginia. Elizabeth was also born in Virginia, near Blacksburg, according
to her death record. Is Edward listed anywhere in Virginia in the 1830 or 1840 census?

LINGAR, SHOEMAKE, SHOEMAKER, SHUMAKE,
SHUMATE -
Looking for Hessie Shoemaker of Virginia. Born 08 May 1861. Parents unknown. References to
her name have also been Jessie Shoemake/ Shumake/ Shumate; however, an
Social Security request form show's Hessie Shoemaker/Shoemake --I believe Shoemaker
to be correct. Hessie married Frazier M. (Monroe) Lingar in 1896, possibly in Virginia.
They had at least six children: Tillman, Charley, China Lee (my great grandmother), William,
Alvis, and John Lingar. Any parental information would be great and wonderful; however,
any information will be equally great. Thanks, Renee Madron (Richmond, IN)
