Hello,
I would be very interested in hear and helping out in the project I have been working on this line for over 5 years now and have aquired stories and documentation and photos from my family that I feel could be a contribution I have to wait for my computer since most of the photos are on disk and I only have my laptop up now but when the time comes I might have some things that you would be interested in. there is several websites that have family stories about our lines especially the very colorful Catherine and Jamima Yarber who were daughters of Moses and elizabeth. one of them show these brave spinsters actually falling into a regiment and marching off to battle while posing as soldies to help a freind. also it looks like our line goes off to the surname parker and that side is related to william Parker who is historically known to be a cold blooded killer I was told there is a plack and a place called the crossroads telling of certain historical events that he was part of ( none of them good) in 1884 there was a write up in a local news papers where the descendants felt it was safe enough to put his marker back on his grave and in the write up has a photo of him and is weapon including a detailed account of what he did in the civil war.
also some of the descendants of moses was very good woodworkers. they were well know for there furniture making and some of them were blacksmiths. My grandfathers Brother James was very good at what he did we have one of his tables in our home and it has held up threw these years very well. I was also told that some of our family furniture is in the white house I am not sure what president it was but while he was in office he wanted to bring into the whitehouse some of the american artistry that was becoming popular into the the house to preserve the history. The furniture started when one of the brothers of Moses brother Jashuea put boat poles nad hatchet handles together to make the frame of the chair and then used rope or twine to make the seat. My Uncle James hande weaved each seat as they did long ago and my father taught me. its great to have family history and would love to share.
