مثليو جنس: جمعيتنا بهدف التوعية والإرشاد
18 آذار 2009
عمان نت-خاص

" الجمعية بهدف الإرشاد التوعية الطبية" بهذه الكلمات دافع آدم احد مثليي الجنس في الأردن عن أهمية وجود جمعية لمثليي الجنس في الأردن.

 

يقول آدم في حديث لراديو البلد ان الهدف من الجمعية " ليتقبل المجتمع وجود هذه الفئة الواسعة التي تعاني من شتى أشكال الاضطهاد سواء اللفظي بالكلمات البذيئة او بوصفهم بصفات سيئة" كما يقول.

ويرى ان مثليي الجنس يشكلون أعدادا كبيرة في المجتمع الاردني، لذا "تكمن أهمية  الجمعية في الدفاع عن حقوق هذه الفئة التي يصفها المجتمع بالمرضى النفسيين، كما ستقوم الجمعية بتقديم التوعية والإرشاد فيما يتعلق بالأمور الطبية والإمراض المنقولة جنسيا من باب الإرشاد".

 

و تقدم مجموعة من الأشخاص الى مديرية تنمية عمان الغربية في جبل الحسين، بطلب إنشاء جمعية متخصصة بحقوق المثليين .

وجاء في الطلب الذي قدمه ثلاثة منهم تزيد أعمارهم عن العشرين عاماً، قبل يومين، أن الهدف من إنشاء الجمعية "الدفاع عن حقوق المثليين".


وحول ذلك يقول مدير تنمية عمان الغربية محمد ابداح لراديو البلد ان ثلاثة شباب في العشرينيات من العمر زاروا المديرية وتقدموا بطلب تسجيل جمعية  لمثلي الجنس، ومن خلال الحوار معهم  قالوا انها تهدف تجميع مثليي الجنس  في مكان معين والدفاع عن حقوقهم و إعطاء محاضرات طبية عن كيفية الوقاية من الأمراض الجنسية وتوزيع المساعدات على الفقراء من هؤلاء الشباب".


ويتابع بداح ان القوانين في المملكة الاردنية الهاشمية لا تسمح في الحقيقة بوجود هيئات او مؤسسات او جمعيات تخدش الحياء العام وتتعارض مع شرائع الدين الإسلامي".

ولا يوجد بند في قانون الجمعيات لعام 2008 يمنع تأسيس جمعيات لهذه الغاية، الا ان بداح قال لراديو البلد ان وجود هذه الجمعيات يتعارض مع قانون الآداب العامة حيث تشكل هذه الجمعيات خدش للحياء العام و لا يسمح بالترويج لهذه القضايا ان تنتشر في المجتمع"


وقال ابداح ان بإمكان المجموعة "التقدم بطلب  للوزارة مباشرة  وسيدرس وثم تتم الإجابة عليه لكن بشكل عام هذه الجمعية لها علاقة بخدش الحياء العام والدين الإسلامي".

انا لست من الجنسين المثلين ولكني اؤيد حقهم في الدفاع عن حقوقهم وتطوير برامج تقيفية للمجتمع الاردني الذي اعتاد على اطهاد حقوق الاقليات لانه في النهاية لا يوجد اردني احسن واحق من اي اردني اخر بغض النظر عن الميول الجنسية. حق هولاء الرجال لا يتعارض مع القانون الاردني وان كان هناك تعارض فانه يجب تغيير القانون لكي يتماشى مع حقوق الانسان بما في ذلك حقوق الجنسيين المثليين.

اصحاب الاخلاق ودعات تطبيق الديانات عليهم ان يتقوا ربهم لانهم بطبقوا الدين حسب اهوائهم وبالمناسب يجب ان يتم فصل الدين عن الدولة حتى ل تكون هناك عوائق بين الناس واصحاب الفكر الديني لانة ليس كل من يعش في الاردن يبني حيانه على اسس دينية. انظر حوليك وشوف.

مع أن مجتمعنا يرفض مثليي الجنس، بل وكل المجتمعات بل لا يوجد عاقل يمكن أن يستوعب الفكرة، لكن لا يجب أن نلومهم ونغفل الأسباب التي أدت لذلك ويجب الموافقة على هذه الجمعية من أجل تجميعهم وبحث مشاكلهم من مختصين ولا بد أن يشفوا من هذا الخروج عن الفطرة إذا توفرت النصيحة الواعية والأسلوب الحضاري في الطرح والمعالجة دون إذلالهم أو تحقيرهم وإشعارهم بالذنب.

Very interesting conversation !!



The man from the municipality had a strong point but he was extremely confused himself because the association isn't appearing as promoting homosexuality "May be intending!!" but i am not sure this is something that can be promoted!!

it already exist since ever!!

ISLAM made it clear for us people, it Prohibited Homosexual intercourse, but never disallowed awareness and healing!! clear message!!

The Holy Quran itself talked about it clearly as getting the reader be more aware, and knowledgeable,, but the Jordanian constitution look at talking about such thing in public as "khadesh 7aya2 3aam" !! Extremely Controversial The people who are in charge need zillion years to get close to Quran and Alla!!



I believe there must be an organization named "The Islamic Institute for Homosexual Awareness and Education". It will solve the hell of a billion confusions and will bring people back to the basics of human nature, functions, and codes!.

ما في حاجة لكتر الحكي.. الموضوع سهل وما بدو اشي.. ابسط اشي دراسة عملتها مجلة ناس وناس, و نتيجتها انو 73% من الشباب الأردني مارسوا العلاقات المثلية مع شخص من نفس جنسهم, و رقم 2 انو احنا بس بشر! يعني ايش رح يضركم اذا كان النا جمعية وعملنا شو ما بدنا؟ احنا ما بنحكي اشي عنكم ولا بنقاتلكم ولا اشي, و حضرتك ياللي بدك تنسف الجمعية والوزارة والأبصر ايش تبعك, فكرت انك رح تكون بتقتل ناس ما سألوا لا فيك ولا بشكلك؟ كتى رح تتعلموا انو في اشي اسمه "أنا" و اشي اسمه "الشخص الآخر" و الآخر عنده طريقة تفكير غير عنك 100% و عمرك ما رح تتفق معه, بس عشان انتم تعرفوا تعيشوا لازم احنا كمان نعيش, احنا ما بنجبر حد على اي اشي, يعني منيح يطلع عندنا جيل معقد من نفسه بس عشان اختلافه عن باقي الناس؟! واللي بيحكي عن قوم لوط, اليونان كان فيها مثليين, وفي اليابان كانوا يعبدوا المثليين قبل 2000 سنة, عمرنا سمعنا عن اشي صار عندهم؟ أكيد لا! لانه خطيئة قوم لوط كانت مش المثلية, كانت ممارسة الجنس الغير مقنن ووصلت معهم لدرجة انه التاجر اللي بمر من عندهم, ضريبته بيدفعها من خلال ممارسة الجنس من رجال المدينة, وكانوا غشاشين بالتجارة وبكل اشي, يعني ببساطة استحقت لقب مدينة الخطيئة بجدارة.. انتم بس شاطربن ترموا اخطائكم على الغير وتعملوا حالكم شرفاء.. طيب ونادي ديونز الماسوني؟ والـnight clubs اللي بعمّان أكتر من نيويورك؟؟ و التلفزيون والراديو والـ Facebook?? يعني لو انه الكل ما شاء الله عليه حافظ دينه كان بنحكي! بس النفاق عينك عينك! وقفت علينا يعني من بين كل هالأشياء؟!

أول شي بالنسبة لحرية الاختيار يا سادة، ببساطة ما إلكم حرية اختيار، الغوها من قاموسكم،، لانه إذا تركناكم راح تغرقوا المركب وتغرقونا معاكم، وللعلم، يا أبو مجتمع متخلف انت، انو حتى الدول المتقدمة والغربية كلها أجمعين تستنكر هذه الظاهرة، البابا ما بعرف مين اسمو طردوه من الكنيسة لما أعلن إنه مثلي، وغيرو وغيراته من حالات الرفض المجتمعي الكامل لهيك أشخاص،،، أما أبو جيل معقد إذا ما بعبر عن حالو، بحب أحكيلك، صح في اختلاف بطرق التفكير 100% بس بضل الشرع والإسلام هوه الفاصل الأخير، فإذا كان الزنا يعني رجل وامرأة حرام وعليه قصاص الرجم حتى الومت أو 80 جلدة علنا، فما بالك باللواط أو المثلية اللي بتخرج الإنسان عن فطرته، يا سيدي، هادا قلة أدب، قلة دين، قلة ترباية، وكمل من عندك، وكلامك مش صحيح بالنسبة لـ"ممارسة الجنس الغير مقنن" وتعديلا كلامك خطأ مليون بالمية، لأنه ربك أعلم بشو بحكي وايش بدو يحكي، لو بدو كان قال في المصحف انهم بمارسو غير مقنن أو أي صيغة أخرى مشابهة بس الله (وصدق الله) حكى: لواط!!!!! وهي مخالفةللفطرة والعقيدة فلا تتقول على الله بلاش ينزل فيك مصيبة هلأ (ولا أقولك، شو في مصيبة أعظم من كونك لوطي أو حتى بتتساهل معهم) وردا على أي شخص بتساهل مع هاي الفئة وبقول حرية اختيار: اتقوا الله في أنفسكم وأهلكم وأولادكم وكل من تحبون، تخيل ابنك أو أخوك منهم وشوف شو شعورك وتزكر انهم بغرقوا المركب كله وانت على المركب.

اذا بدنا نترك حالنا لنزواتناو مانحط أي حد للوساوس الي الشيطان وعد ربنا سبحانه و تعالى انو ما يخلي طريقة الا و يفوت لمكامن الضعف الي في النفس البشرية...لكان صار القتل حلال و السرقة حلال..

على كل حال الأوبئة يلي الله ببعتها على الناس هي تحذير للي بقلبو خبث يطلعو

هاي النفس ملك لله هو يلي خلقهاو ادرى فيها و هو يلي الو الحق انو يتحكم بقوانينها و احنا عباد عند لله.. ما رح أدعي غير الله يبعدكم عنا و عن ولادنا ليوم الدين.كلنا يعلم أن السبب الرئيسي لمرض الايدز كما جاء على لسان العديد من الباحثين هو الشذوذ الجنسي، وبالأخص إتيان الذكور. وعندما قرأت هده المعلومة وذلك منذ مدة وقفت أمام آية واضحة ذكرها لنا القرآن الكريم في قصة قوم لوط، : (وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَتَأْتُونَ الْفَاحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُمْ بِهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ * إِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ الرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِنْ دُونِ النِّسَاءِ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ مُسْرِفُونَ)[ الأعراف: 80- 81 و هاي ليلي بيحكوا انو هاد شي بالطبيعة البشرية "ما سبقكم بها من احد"!!

WILLIAMS May 23, 2009 Robert A. Williams ncsailor62@gmail.com

I am trying to begin a genealogical record for my family, Williams, who have resided in Chatham County. My grandfather, Russell Avery Williams, was mayor of Siler City. His father, Robert Avery Williams was born in Chatham county, I believe, on 16 Feb. 1873. However I have not been able to ascertain who his parents were. I was once told by my grandfather that there were 3 brothers who immigrated from Wales. One of the brothers settled in NC. I believe it is from that brother that our family eventually moved into Chatham county. Any assistance in this would be greatly appreciated. Robert Avery Williams II

RIGGSBEE March 4, 2009 Dan Johnson danj@integratedmortgage.net

Recently I ran across a large photo of my great-grandfather, Atlas J. Riggsbee, and would like to learn more about him. I think he was born in the late 1850s and died in 1928. He was 22 years older than my great-grandmother, Leah Riggsbee, who died many years later. I have found a Atlas J. Riggsbee that is too old for him, but could have been his father. In addition, I saw a listing for an Evander J. Riggsbee who died in 1939 and was the son of Atlas J. and Sarah Bennett Riggsbee. I don't know if my great-grandfather was married before he married my great-grandmother, Leah. I appreciate you assistance.

RIGGSBEE/RIGSBY March 2, 2009 Marcy Cook CCOOK20@triad.rr.com

I am beginning to research my grandmother's heritage there in Chatham. Her family name was Riggsbee or Rigsby leading back to early 1700's with the Scottish born James Rigsby married to Wilmoth Oldham. Descendants were son Luke Rigsbey, married to Elizabeth Edwards; their son John E. Riggsbee (1787) married to Phoebe Stone; their son Andrew Jack Riggsbee (1830) married to Mary E. Cheek; to their son Arthur Riggsbee (1881) married to Sarah Savage. These are my great-grandparents who had several children and a daughter Doris Oliver Riggsbee born in Morrisville (my grandmother). Please share any information of land holdings or history of Doctor Arthur Riggsbee who was a horse and buggy physician who made many housecalls in the area there surrounding. I would love to get some details of where to start my visits and documentary logs there. Thanks so much! -Marcy Cook

HANCOCK CATTLE February 24, 2009 Karen Hart karen_hart@earthlink.net

I have several ranching/catch dog magazines interested in the Hancock cattle. It has been thought that there were no wild cattle in NC. I remember hearing that "? Hancock" owned a lot of Chatham County after the depression because people couldn't afford the taxes and they made him buy the land in order to harvest the timber. He turned cattle loose in the cut-overs that were renowned for being wild and crazy when sold through the stockyards. I would like to know more and verify the accuracy of what I have heard.

RAMSEY February 6, 2009 Tamie Ramsey tr1768@att.com

I am searching for history on the Ramsey Family in Chatham county, NC. So far, I have found cemetery info for Richard Ramsey and Addie Viola Ramsey. These are known relatives of mine and I would like more info on the stump preaching done by Richard Ramsey around 1800. Thanks, Tamie Ramsey

I am looking for any information on my EVANS family line. My 3x great grandfather, James Ramsey EVANS was born November 16, 1816 in Chatham, NC. I believe his father and mother were Peter and Sarah Evans. Any information on my family would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Dorothy

POE January 25, 2009 David Reese dreese@kih.net

I am seeking information about Capt Stephen Poe who died in 1773 while serving in NC Militia with his brother Lt Simon Poe and possibly his brother Major James Poe. I believe there is a will that shows his wife Hannah as executor along with a couple of other gentlemen who adopted his children. I would very much like to know if there is evidence that he died while in service to the revolutionary army that was being formed prior to the Revolutionary War of 1775 to 1783.



These Poe brothers are my uncles as they are brothers of Sarah Poe my several times great grandmother.



Thank you for your assistance. David Reese, Hazard, Kentucky



LOG CABINS Wednesday, 31 December 2008 Diane Franklin (dfrankl5@hotmail.com)

I recently relocated to North Carolina from New York. As I explore this beautiful state, I see old log cabins, in various states of disrepair, usually in wooded areas, and seems to me they are at the edge of occupied lots. How can I find some history on these buildings, or are they just old sheds?

FARRINGTON ROAD HOUSE Saturday, 20 December 2008 Philip Brubaker (philip@philipbrubaker.com)

I am researching a documentary project about an abandoned house in Chatham County and I am looking for photos of that house dating back to '40's. Could you please point me in the direction where I might find visual records of Chatham County property? The house is on Farrington Road and was considered to be a part of Apex back in the 60's. Any information would be helpful.

SCURLOCK Monday, 15 December 2008 James Baldwin (jkbaldwin@insightbb.com)

I have successfully traced my genealogy, on my mother's side, back to Lt James Scurlock, who apparently served in the 10th Regiment North Carolina and later in the 4th Regiment NC where he was promoted to Captain. He later married Lydia Poor, and died, I believe, in Stokes Co., NC, although there is little consensus on this. I am trying to determine, beyond all doubt, who James's father was. Was it, as some believe, Maj. Mial Scurlock, who was a Major in the Chatham County Militia during the Revolutionary War, and later a Member of the General Assembly, Delegate to the Constitutional Congress, and Member of the Provincial Congress? I found a web page that gave details of a meeting that took place in Chatham County, following the Revolutionary War, in which both James and Mial took part, but I am unable to locate the information now that I really need it. I would appreciate it greatly if you could research this question for me and let me know the answer, hopefully providing links to sources with verifiable documents. You see I am corresponding with another descendant of James, a would-be author, who insists that Mial is not his father, although she hasn't been able to find solid proof either way. I have received confirmation from the DAR that they were, in fact, Revolutionary War Soldiers and have read that they were father and son, most notably in History of Families of Jackson County, Ohio, but I would appreciate confirmation from some organization closer to the source, since neither of them actually made it to Ohio.

CROW/STROUD Monday, 15 December 15, 2008 Baker Crow (baker.crow@regions.com)

I have been performing genealogy research on my family roots. I found that two of my great great great great grandfathers once lived in Chatham County during the Revolutionary War, in fact both of them served in the NC militia. Their names were James Crow and John Stroud. I believe that James came from Sussex County, VA, and he died in Chatham County around 1795. I have a copy of his will. John Stroud came from PA, but he died in GA at the age of 105. He not only fought in the Revolutionary War but also the French and Indian War. He fought at the Battle of Quebec and the Plains of Abraham. He had a brother Jacob that carried the mortally wounded Gen. Wolfe from the battlefield. Stroudsburg, PA is named after his family. I believe that both James and John lived in or near Hillsboro. I was wondering if you have any information on these gentlemen that you could share?

ROGERS Tuesday, 9 December 2008 Wanda Cross (wcwanda210@satx.rr.com)

I am doing my family history. A census was done April 15, 1910 on my mother. It stated that the census was done in Chatham county North Carolina. Where can I research on the Internet?

Her parents names Benjamin and Nina Rogers. They are African Americans.

COAL GLEN MINING DISASTER November 28, 2008 Tyler G. Greene S000112526@mhc.edu

I am currently working on a research project about the Coal Glen Mining Disaster of 1925. The project will constitute my senior thesis for the undergraduate history program at Mars Hill College. I was hoping the CCHA could help me by directing me to sources the organization might hold. Do you have a special collection of sources regarding this event--or coal mining in Chatham County in general--that I would be able to view when I visit the area? What kind of research has been done by members of your organization, or other local historians? Any information you could pass along would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing from you and developing this project further.

RAY / WRAY November 28, 2008 Ross Smith rosssmith05@tx.rr.com

My ancestor was named George Ray or Wray. I know he was in Chatham co NC in the mid to late 1780's because he attended the New Hope Church or New Hope Baptist Church on or near Beaver Creek because he joined the Powelton Baptist Church in 1791 in Georgia and the church records say he transferred from that church. It was signed by an Elder Solomon Smith who preached at the New Hope Church in Chatham co NC. I can not find any records showing George Ray or Wray lived in Chatham County NC and apparently there are no church minutes from the 1780's. Would anyone be able to help me find a record showing George Ray lived in Chatham co NC?

JOHN THOMAS FIKE DEATH RECORD July 25, 2008 Neal E Rowe (nealerowe@juno.com)

I have a supplemental application hung up with the Sons of the American Revolution. It is for John Thomas Fyke the father of Malachi Fyke, both purchased land grants in 1780 in Chatham County North Carolina.



According to my records John died in Chatham County North Carolina 1788. This is the problem I had a typo and sent in the wrong date, I have since sent in a copy of a family tree on the Fyke's starting with John through a different son Nathan Buford Fike, which shows the 1788 death date. The SAR is now asking for proof of that date. Do you have either some cemetery records that would show the death date or Tax list that show the last time he paid taxes, that you would please forward to me.

JONES/CIVIL WAR July 25, 2008 Randy Jones (rancjones@bellsouth.net)

I am doing research on my great grandfather, Wiley Jones. All we know is he lived in Chatham County around the time of the Civil War, and was the right age to be drafted or to enlist. He was born in 1815, married to Ruth Headen, and had five children. He disappears during and after the war from any records we can find. His name is very common for that period and there are numerous Wiley Jones. Can you tell me what the regiments and troops that would have been made up from people from Chatham County and/or where there might be research I could use to find this out?

TICK CREEK COMMUNITY May 26, 2008 Terah Crews Terah@unc.edu

I'm trying to locate information on a political commune/community that existed in Tick Creek during the early 70's. I'm interested in locating any information I can about the community and if possible people who actually lived and participated in it's creation and operation. The Southern Oral History Project is attempting to broaden our understanding of the civil rights movement beyond traditional timeframes and subjects. I believe several important N.C. Civil Rights leaders spent some time with this community.



If you have any information regarding this community or reference to someone who might, I would greatly appreciate you passing that information along to me. I can be reached by email or phone (evenings) and am available to come to Chatham county and meet in person. Thank you for your time and assistance.

McMASTERS May 26, 2008 Kathy Anne Coppola kcoppola@iuk.edu

I am a descendent (5th great-granddaughter) of Andrew McMasters who was a patriot and is buried with many more of my ancestors at the cemetery adjacent to the church which is surrounded by a cow pasture and not accessible by a road. I was able to make a trip to see the church and cemetery in December of last year and it was in terrible shape. I understand from my research there is considerable amount of history to the church and was wondering if there has ever been a consideration of possibly having it designated as a historical site? A gentleman that lives in Liberty took me out to the church and told me that every few years the men’s association of his church and boy scouts have gone out to clear the brush and do minor repairs. I have a file full of articles about the church that were written in the past and about the historical significance. If there were to be any interest I would be willing to assist even though I live out of state. I am a genealogist and I am concerned that in years to come this important place will be nonexistent.

TISOR May 26, 2008 Gary A. Tisor garyehowe@gmail.com

Your county is festinating. I really need to know more. A distant Tisor cousin of mine, just informed me that his branch of our family settled in Chatham County around the 1770's' I only then had known that my branch had settled around your area when they arrived from London in 1791. I do not know the parents' given names. I do know that they had served in Versailles, France probably for the Hungarian Crown.



They had removed back to England when the situation in France became hostile. In 1791 the parents with 4 boys made it to North Carolina. That winter or soon thereafter the parents died of disease. Then the 3 older boys returned to England leaving the baby boy, Austin Tisor in the hands of a man named Poff. Austin Tisor matured and learned the trade of hat making.



He married Susannah Wright and with her father Joseph Wright (a Congregational Minister) moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. I have court records from that point on. Susannah was from the family of the former Governor Wright of North Carolina. From that time on our Tisor family lived in Ohio.



Austin and Susannah begat Hiram Tisor who married Phoeby Greene, they begat Christopher C.Tisor who married Mary Jones, they begat Hubert R. Tisor who married Ethel E. Howe, they begat Darold D. Tisor who married Roma D. Arnold, they begat myself (Gary A. Tisor) born in Dayton, Ohio and who married Peggy M.A. Schneider aka.Roe, we begat Gary Allan Tisor II who married Karen Bentley, they begat Brandon A. Tisor and Austin B. Tisor who are now in their teens and live in California. My wife and I also begat Christopher Randolph Tisor, they begat Audrey Tisor and Rachael Tisor and live in Colorado.



The other Tisor clan (claims also some Portuguese ancestry) relocated from Chatham County to Iowa around 1800 as pioneers. There is still family in England, but they spell their name Tiza and became famous for their bottled soft drinks.



My mother's sister also married a descendant of Joseph Wright who carried the same name even. He was born in Green County, Ohio just outside of Dayton, Ohio.



Another Reverend Wright who seems to be from the same line of Joseph Wright, was a United Brethren Bishop and had two sons and a daughter. The boys were born in Dayton, Ohio. They were Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright, the famous Wright Brothers. These men were well aware of the air currents at Kitty Hawk because their family had come from North Carolina.



Still another Reverend Wright (Congregational pastor) seems to be from the same Joseph Wright line and married a Jones girl from my Mary Jones family. They removed to Wisconsin and after having several kids, this Reverend skipped out on his wife. Their son was also the famous Frank Lloyd Wright.



So it seems that you have quite a lineage of descendents that can trace back to Chatham County, North Carolina. I do not know just how much of this you already knew? Many years ago I belonged to the Hamilton County Genealogical Society at Cincinnati, Ohio. There I was admitted to membership as a "First Family" based on my court records of my ancestors, Tisor and Wright families. Myself, I would like very much to know more about your county's history. One of our Iowa Tisor kin tells me that there is a book printed titled The Tisors of Old Chatham County. Do you know of this book?

TAYLOR / HARLOWE May 26, 2008 Ann Suparb anniesuparb@yahoo.com

I'm looking for any information, photos, or stories about Harlow Taylor (or William Harlowe) 1869-1923 who lived in Pittsboro, as well as his parents. He and his wife were both deaf and had two daughters. Also, this is a longshot but I am seeking a black & white composition book in which Emily Taylor Brower Dixon wrote down many stories from her youth. Sadly this book was lost and I am hoping it is out there somewhere, so please let me know if you have heard of it. (She was Harlow Taylor's daughter and lived in the yellow house in Pittsboro until 1993.) Any help would be much appreciated.

BROOKS & THOMAS May 26, 2008 Sara Robbins Hoffman july37@cox.net

I'd appreciate any assistance you may provide with the following inquiries or possibly point me in the right direction. James M. Brooks was b. abt. 1841 in Upper Regiment, Chatham Co, NC. He joined the 26th NC. I'm interested in learning the death date & burial place of Sergeant James M. Brooks.



Daniel B. Thomas was b. abt. 1841 in Upper Regiment, Chatham Co., NC He was a member of the 26th NC. Also interested in finding the death date & burial place of Private Daniel B. Thomas. The website for the 26th NC speaks of these men but posts no way to contact them for information.

SUSANNAH BEADLE May 26, 2008 Marie Peer peer@mindspring.com

I am searching for the maiden name of a Susannah born in Chatham County. It is unusual for people who died when she did. We are fortunate she did have one. Susannah ? married James Teague about 1809 or 1810. I assume that was in Chatham County. He was the son of David Teague and Sarah McDonald. Do you have family Bible records? Do you know what libraries might have family Bible records? Maybe a Susannah is listed with a birth date of 30 Sep 1789. Just for interest, I've copied and pasted Susannah (?) Teague Beadle's obituary below:



Susannah's obituary:



Susan Beadle was born in Chatham County North Carolina on September 30. 1789. She died in Somerville, Ohio, August 23, 1877. She was married to James Teague when about 20 years old. She moved to Butler County, Ohio in 1815 and located one-half mile south of Somerville, on the farm now known as the Beadle place, where she lived until a few years since. Shortly after coming to Ohio, her husband died. She afterward married John Beadle, who died in 1832, since which time she remained a widow.



When she with her husband emigrated to Butler County, it was a dense wilderness. She endured the hardships and contended with the dangers of a pioneer life. About 25 years ago she united with the M.E. Church and has ever shown by her walk that she was in Christ and He in her. She reared a family of six children all of whom were present at her funeral to mourn their loss. She had forty-nine grandchildren and sixty-five great-grandchildren ; remarkable record, and still more remarkable in that ninety-five of them are living.



This dear mother has been blind four years, in total darkness, and yet with a heart full of peace and joy that made her life light under the greatest affliction. During her last sickness she showed the same patient spirit that has so plainly marked her life, even under the most trying circumstances. She was ready and anxious to go to her Father's house. Death had no sting for her. May her loved ones all meet her in Heaven. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church, in Somerville, on Saturday August 25, 1877, at 10 A.M.; Rev. J.S. Pumphrey conducting the sermon assisted by Rev. McClusky. A very large congregations showed the esteem in which the deceased was held in the community.



General Information:



Susannah ? married James Teague around 1809 most likely in Chatham or surrounding county, North Carolina. James Teague was born 12 Nov 1784, the son of David Teague and Sarah McDonald. He died before 16 Jan 1816. I know this as their children are named in David Teague's will of about 1830. This Teague Family resided a little northeast of Siler City; Teague's Mill is on land that was once David Teague's land. They had children:

Rebecca Teague bn 16 Sep 1811 in NC; married Wm Conarroe

Andrew Teague bn 12 Dec 1812 in NC m. Catharine Shaffer

James C. Teague bn 13 March 1816 in Warren Co Ohio



Susannah married John Beadle (He and his family came from New Jersey, not NC) 15 Nov 1819. He died 10 Apr 1832. They had children:

Caroline Beadle bn 1820 m. David Potts

Oliver Beadle m. Mary Ann Oren

Oren Beadle bn 19 Jun 1824 m. Adaline Brown



Thank you for information about Bible records for Chatham County.

EBENEZER CHURCH May 26, 2008 Lindsay Matson lpmatson@ncsu.edu

I am a graduate student at NC State researching and google mapping historic properties in North Carolina. I was hoping to discover the location (or a rough estimate of the location) of the first Ebenezer Church. The church I am interested in is not the one currently located on Jordan Lake, but rather a log structure constructed with notching that was demolished in the 1970s. The church was a simple building with a wood and stone chimney and used by the congregation until they moved to the present Gothic Revival structure. Was the first church located in the same area as the present one?

CAMPBELL May 26, 2008 Barbara Campbell Perry perry530@triad.rr.com

I have been trying to locate my family for a long time....they lived in Chatham County.....trying to find out when my great grandparents died....where they were buried....and if they owned property. My great grandparents were:



Joseph Duncan Campbell, born in 1849 in Chatham...don't know when he died. He married Nelly A Self on (I believe) Nov 15, 1874. I have two birth years for Nelly...1854 and 1860. They had three children: Emily born in 1878, Daniel born in 1879, and my grandfather Robert born in 1880 in Bear Creek. Believe Joseph and Nelly died between 1893 and 1900 when the census came out.

PACE MILL PROPERTY April 18, 2008 Marianne Odom mhodom@earthlink.net

I am Marianne Harbison Odom. I grew up on the old Pace Mill property, currently being developed near Mt. Pleasant Church. I am a permanent resident of South Carolina now, near Charleston. Since my Dad died and my mom made the decision to sell the old home place, I have sorely felt the demolition of my old home and the sale of the property. That was the only home I ever knew. I have since become interested in the history of my home place and the county where I grew up. How might I read more about it? Are there books available? I appreciate your input, and I thank you for helping to preserve the history of the area. Sincerely, Marianne H. Odom, 409 Partridge Circle, Summerville, SC 29485

GRIFFITH January 2008 Pat Holland patlynnseb@aol.com

Re: The Genealogy of the Griffith Family of Napa County, California.

Quote Napa County Biographies: "Calvin Chesterfield Griffith, horticulturist, Napa County, who is one of the oldest pioneers of this place, having crossed the plains in 1845 with the new historical train that brought out the Hudsons, Yorks and many other well-known names in California, and that was the first train that brought wagons over the Sierra Nevadas." Calvin C. Griffith is my Great Great Grandfather and was born in Chatham County, North Carolina, March 1, 1828. His Father was James A. Griffith and his Mother was Elizabeth Rogers Griffith. Calvin's Grandfather was Mason Griffith. Calvin married Lydia Sensibaugh in St. Helena, Napa County, California in 1855. Both Lydia and Calvin with some of their children are buried in the St. Helena Cemetery. An excellent source on Calvin is "The Men of the California Bear Flag Revolt and Their Heritage", by Barbara R. Warner, 1996.

FOLK VICTORIAN HOUSE January 2008 Edward Smith eddie_27514@yahoo.com

Seeking history of Folk Victorian House at 1780 McGhee Rd. I am trying to help a friend determine the history of the folk Victorian house formerly located at 1780 McGhee Rd (at Ferrington Point Road) in the Williams Township in the northeast corner of Chatham County. I hope to find someone with firsthand knowledge of this building and its history. My friend just moved it to her Alamance county property and she wants to preserve it as much as possible. She now thinks this building may have played a very significant role to the township and was used as a public/commercial building rather than a home. Upon closer inspection it appears the building was never built as a house, as most or the rooms had 2 or more doors with abundant porches and hallways. It may never have had a kitchen. A bath was installed on a porch around the 1950's-60's. This home was built around 1918 according to the grandson of Ernest R McKhee, the builder. It could be older in my opinion. A plat of the property done in 1925 shows stables, blacksmith shop, saw mill, tobacco barns, store and other houses in the immediate area. A number of roads intersected at this location. My friend heard someone say that a church was located across the road in the late 1700's. This house is a folk Victorian treasure. The two major rooms are six-sided with multicolored Victorian windows. There are 6 gables, each with different patterned shingles and vents. With so many roads intersecting at this building, with two significant sized stables nearby it tells me that this may have been built as a hotel, multiple stores, post office, community center, etc. We think this house has a story to tell. It is being restored next to the historic 1895 Holt grand Queen Ann Victorian overlooking the village of Haw River. Do you know who I can contact or what documentation I can look at to find out more on this buildings original purpose?

HUGHEY January 2008 Gloria D. Arnold garnold9@cox.net

I am working on a genealogy of my family (the Hugheys). I'm really stuck on my great grandfather's parents. I know his name is James M. Hughey. He was born in North Carolina and as a lad came to Ga and settled in the Calhoun area. I am looking for his parents. His mother was b. in SC and his father NC. We found him once in Murray Co, Ga., with his mother named Sarah and 4 sisters. She was from SC and her husband from NC. James was born 1830 according to his grave stone. So I need to find a set of parents who had a son named James about 1830 in NC. Sarah was a widow in 1850 so her husband would have died in the 1840s. She can't be found in the 1860s so I think she may have died in the 1850s. I have been thru many lines of Hugheys and I know they must have been a branch somewhere but I'm stuck. I would appreciate any help you could provide me with. Sarah was born in 1805 so I think we would guess his father would be about the same age more or less.

McGEE 31 Jan 08 Virginia McGee

My family and I were so pleased that our great-grandfather's letters were published in the Chatham Historical Journal. My visit to Pittsboro in 1988 was fifty years after my first and only other visit in 1938, when my aunt and I stayed with our cousin Margaret Horne in the old Hanks home. She was such a delightful person. As I remember, she operated a small lending library in her house. We were entertained with true Southern hospitality by several people who remembered the Texas relatives and by my cousin, George Brooks, and his family. I always enjoy receiving the newsletter and journal, and am happy that our letters are in a safe place and available to those who might find them interesting.

BASS July 30, 2007 Rodney R. Dietert rrd1@cornell.edu

I am trying to find information on two brothers, Moses and Edward Bass who came to Chatham County about 1779-1781 from Dobbs County. They then moved on to Surry County, NC about 1797. Moses was married to Catharine? and Edward was married to Hannah Moon. They seem to have lived and moved with Quaker families starting in Dobbs to Chatham then Surry. They may have had state grants when first arriving in Chatham. But Moses bought property in Chatham deeded from Thomas Dixon (member of the Cane

Creek Meeting House) in 1787 and sold it to Joseph Hickman in 1797 when they left for Surry County, NC. I suspect Bass Mountain in Chatham may have been named for the 1780s-1797 family.

Any information concerning their period in Chatham County would be greatly appreciated. Rod Dietert
