      It is really a challenge when you get behind. Well, maybe I’ll catch up. Here’s my latest about treasures found in old family letters.
      Family names: Anderson, Jones, Kelley, Henderson, Vanderpool in Newton County, Arkansas and Laurel and Clay counties, Kentucky.

   BASSETT, William
   http://ancestorsinaprons.com/2014/10/william-l-bassett-william-bassett-jr/

   Leading up to Thanksgiving, I am telling the stories of the descendents of my Pilgrim ancestor, the first William Bassett to arrive in North America. The family is full of Williams and this week I did #42 and #43, both William Bassetts, one with a propensity to marry MUCH younger women. (I doubled up so that Halloween week, I can tell a ghost story. Oooooo.)
   Today I’m researching a possible witch in the family. Appropriate, no?

      Sounds good to me! (Though I think the spookiest thing right now is this weather!)

      What an excellent idea. Thank you for the suggestion. Now to dig out hubby’s Mayflower lines. I may get caught up with this challenge. yet. Myra Vanderpool Gormley

   Finally finding the 1841 census record for my 3X great grandfather has led to…

   Questions, Questions Questions
   http://tangledrootsandtrees.blogspot.com/2014/10/52-ancestors-43-questions-questions.html
   MUIR, Robert (c1800-1869)

   Many people list him on their trees as being born in 1803 in Flemington, Scotland, but this is NOT correct. The 1841 census said he was foreign born and the 1861 census said he was born in Ireland, and…I believe I have found and index record for his birth on IrelandRoots.
