Dear Phyllis:

I live in CA. but just went recently to Huntsville, Al. with my son to see where my father came from. I visited Stateline Cemetery where my Vining ancestors are buried and was taken aback about the condition of the old section where our respective Vining and Grandlands are buried. I am researching other families that are buried in the old section as well and maybe getting a plan together to get this part of the cemetery back in shape. I would love to hear from you about this.

Hi, my name is Vance

I'm investigating if your Thomas and Richard Jamars were the Slaveholder of Our John and Ada Jamar.

My family tree
http://www.myheritage.com/site-34578351/lockett-web-site

This part is taken from Our family history Document

According to information secured from the elder Jamars, the Jamar forebears came from the west coast of Africa on a slave ship to a colony of Virginia. The African name of this group has been forgotten, but it is remembered that the head of this African tribe was a Priest. Whether Christian or Moslem is not known.

The first family names remembered were John (B. 1805) and Ada Jamar. They migrated from Richmond Abermarle County Virginia To Madison County Alabama. They were the parents of eight children. Five of their sons, John, Joel, David, James and Walker were Ministers. The other three children's names were Jerry, Jonas and Mary.
Their daughter, Mary, was the cook and housekeeper for the sheriff of Madison County and the mother of several children. Her only son, Leslie Miller, was a dedicated church worker, and her seven daughters developed their own singing group known as "The Seven Sisters."

Reverend John Jamar was a dynamic preacher. His brother, Elder Joel Jamar, was Pastor and Presiding Elder in the AME Church and one of the founders of Miles Memorial College, an institution of the AME denomination located in Birmingham, Alabama. Joel was the father of four daughters who later taught in public schools in Alabama. Two of his granddaughters, Lena and Cora, were instructors in Cleveland, Ohio.

Hi
I was searching for a picture to use on our church bulletin,I make them every week for the church I attend in Dalian China, and I picked a picture that google pulled up and it took me to your page. I want to say that your site, your history, pictures of your relatives, the poems, stories and things really left a great impression on me. It was you families life that i was reading and looking at.I did not know my grandparents from either side of my family but now I am a grandfather and your page was very moving to me. I know that God will find a good place for you in heaven someday. A reader Mr Gale Kruger

Hi Phyllis, I enjoyed viewing your site, I have recently became very interested in my family hertiage within the last two years and have really began digging this last year. I can tell you the first couple of months I did a whole lot of research however did not seem to accomplish much, had no clue what I was doing, however since then I have learned a couple of tricks to keep focused along withother helpful folks like you out there. I Ran into a wall with my dads folks Owens, sorry to say I still stay so engulfed in looking for the missing links until I just walk away and come back a month later,boy am I a geanology go getter, haha Owens trait , will not stop even if it kills me, anyway this is my deal My dad is Donald Elmore Owens his dad Elmer aka Elmore Owens son of John Reden Owens and Viola Kellum Owens okay other siblings of course ,but this is the deal, I can find two cencus showing John Reden Owens living with his mom Jeney Owens her showing single him a boy with no man in the house,okay ten years later shows Jeney Owens head of hh, John redden Owens, and now another son Hardy Owens born 1873 , Oh year John R dob 1868 and jeneys 1845 , now the ten year later census still shows no man in the house and also shows her brother leaving with her about ten years her jr.named Stephen Redden. Go fiqure, anyway all accounts some of the folks came from North Carolina,and I believe immagrated from Liverpool,England,however I have a missing link , I noticed you had some info on northcarolina, anway my family tree is at Ancestry.com The Owens Bunch for now,however I do alot of research on Roots.now, I know they are connected however I get so much more from Roots, anyway thanks for your info I enjoyed reading it Lori Owens dob 07/12/1962

Hi, Phyllis, we haven't communicated in a long time. I am on a new computer and all my older e-mail is on it, but it has been awhile. Just to let you know I am still around and adding information to my database all the time.
I descend from Daniel Watson Turney and his daughter, Elizabeth, that married Uriah Couch. Write when you get a chance and I will send a new report on the Turney line and Couch line if you want it. Boyce

Grandparents were Charles B. Owen and Effie LouElla McQuire Owen. Mother was Thelma L. Owen Franklin. I have been doing extensive work on the Owen/Jamar Families. I have seen and been in the Owen/Jamar Cemetry on the arsenal recently. Possibility that I was standing on the ground that the first Jamar home stood. Jamar cemetry is one mile down the road from me on Ziertd and Martin. My sister and I live in Edgewater. I haven't had a chance to really get into your site to study it, but I think you have done a wonderful job on your web site. Happy New Year '06. Patsy
