I’m sorry, I have no Odell or Woodhull in my family tree and I have not done any research on either of those families.
Good luck in your research.

Hello,
I understand that you have done research on the Odell and Woodhull family lines. I am working on Jeremiah Woodhull, born in 1795 or 1797 in Orange Co., NY. Apparently there was a name change somewhere along the line, because his father is supposed to be Abraham Odell, b. 1771 in Westchester, NY. Could you help me with further information? Thanks.

Hi Bobby, Glad you found my site! I would love to have any info you are willing to share on the Godwin family. I actually descend from two of Joseph Bridger’s children — Joseph Jr., and his sister Martha Bridger who married Thomas Godwin. My Godwin info is not real organized. If you can share, please reply direct to Elaine64@aol.com
Thanks!

Col. Joseph Bridger was my 10 great-grandfather and Thomas Godwin was also my 10 great-grandfather. The Godwin list is long after this, down to Lucinda Godwin married John D. White, then Emile Manda White married Samual Riley Simmons. He was my Great-grandfather. These Godwins had migrated to South Alabama at this point.
Glad I found this site tonight,

I’m still looking for info on John Norman and Heziah Bridger who married in Isle of Wight in 1786. Did they have a son named Alfred N. Norman, b. 1800, who married Anna Byler in 1823?

Hi Freya,

I am glad to hear from you! It’s always good to hear from a newfound cousin.

If Ollie Dee Warren is your grandmother then William Volney Warren and his wife Yettie Goodall are your great grandparents, because they are the parents of Ollie. Ollie is one of 15 children! So you and I are 4th cousins.

William Volney’s grandparents Arthur Warren and wife Martha “Patsy” Arbuckle are my 3rd great grandparents.

What are your parent’s names? I would like to add their names to my family tree. You may email me in private at Elaine64@aol.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Comment on Whitelaw Family by Elaine Powell

The only Archibald Whitelaw I have is Archibald A.Whitelaw, b. 9 Dec. 1864 in Wales. He was the son of William Thomas Whitelaw and his wife Jane Rees.

Archibald’s grandfather was born in Lanark, Scotland. Research has shown that the Whitelaws originated from Scotland. My line of Whitelaws did immigrate to Wales, and then to America. Archibald seems to have been a common first name for many Whitelaws.

You might want to look on the websites: free BMD, Ancestry, origins.net, and ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk. Also try http://www.familychronicle.com/10_scot_sites.htm.
Also, the LDS family history centers have Scottish records, but those are on family search.org also. You get many more results by logging on to their site. It is free.

Good luck.

Hi Elaine,

Thank you for this ..it’s wonderful. I’m still trying to figure it all out. I have both the James and Warren Histories. I’m not sure how we’re related but I know that my great great (?) grandparents are William Warren and Yettie Goodall.

My grandmother is Ollie Dee Warren.

Comment on DRINKARD Family Genealogy by Elaine Powell

Hi Wysteria,

I will need some more information to see if I can help you. I will need the birthdate and place, wife’s name with marriage date and place, and his death date and place. If you have ANY info you your grandparents, please give me that also — even approximate dates and/or place of birth, marriage, and death, plus his wife’s name. Please send this info to me directly to my email address at Elaine64@aol.com. I have a cousin who lives in California who is a Drinkard. She told me that there was a Drinkard family who migrated to Oregon in a wagon train. The conestoga wagon that they used is in the Linn Co. Historical Museum! Read the story at http://www.ruralite-digital.com/ruralite/201104_CPI?pg=4#pg4
So there were Drinkards on the west coast. I look forward to hearing from you.
