Sharing My Journey

I've enjoyed exploring my family genealogy for many years but as a retiree, I've been able to devote more time to this hobby.  As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, it is always fun to find a new Patriot in one's family tree.  I have found over a dozen currently on both sides of my family.*  Unfortunately, in the pursuit of these Patriots, I haven't always taken the time fill out my trees like I should.  It is now a goal to do more comprehensive research, filling in siblings and sharing the stories that make these ancestors interesting and relevant.  Since there are photos, documents and artifacts, using this format will hopefully make it easier to archive and share these with others.

As with all genealogy, the work is never complete.  Sometimes we accept information as accurate that we later discover to be in error.  I will be sharing my research here and provide documentation as proof but if you find anything that you believe to be in error, I would appreciate hearing from you.  All of these narratives are written by me based on my own research done through family memorabilia, records, recollections, Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.com and other online resources.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) writing tools have NOT been used to write any of these narratives.

Thank you for reading along as I give this project a go and see where it takes us!

Martin Edrington Sheets and Malinda B. McClenney

Martin Edrington Sheets and Malinda B McClenny were my paternal great-great grandparents.   Martin was born 3 March 1826 in Franklin County, Kentucky to Charles Sheets and Sarah Edrington.  He died in Caddo County, Oklahoma on 11 Aug 1909.  Malinda was born on 23 Sep 1829 in St. Charles, Missouri to Micajah McClenny and Malinda Boone.  She died in Caddo County, Oklahoma on 16 Oct 1910.   The couple married 26 Feb 1851 in St. Charles, Missouri.  As these older marriage records and bond are interesting to see, I'm going to include them if I found them.  You will find Martin and Malinda's record as the second entry on the second page.  This was recorded in St. Charles County, Missouri Recorder of Deeds, vol. 145, pg. 123. Malinda was the child of Micajah McClenney and Malinda (Boone) McClenney.  This couple was married on 13 Dec 1828 in St. Charles County, Missouri.  Micajah was born in Virginia in 1775, moved to Kentucky and...

Sallie Mae Groshong Brown

  Sallie Mae was my mother's oldest sister.  She was born December 13, 1906 in rural Troy, Missouri.  I was fortunate to be gifted some of her personal items after her only daughter, Marion, passed away.  As Marion and her husband, Loyd, had no children, he wanted the items to stay with her family.  When I was able to look through these items I was surprised and delighted to find a sort of time capsule of her early life!  Aunt Sallie Mae was a kind, practical and intelligent woman and one of my very favorite relatives.  She loved telling family stories and sharing bits of wisdom.  She was also one who met her challenges with grace and acceptance and always persevered.  Here is her story.  I hope I do her justice. I included this rough draft as it was with her other pages and it includes a few other details. As Sallie Mae mentioned her teaching career, she said she taught at several different schools in Lincoln County....
