#91223 I am trying to find record of my father. His name is CLAUD RAYMOND SELF, born about 1912-1913 in Whitewright (Grayson County) Texas. There are no birth records for him in that county, nor any delayed birth records. He lived in Slaton TX and accordind to my great uncle there - "his parents lived down the street and around the corner". Once when my mother and Iwere in Slaton, we called upon them, however they claimed no knowledge of a "C.R." Self. My mother had met CR in Lubbock TX when she was at Texas Tech., and they ran off to Childress TX to get married. I have this marriage certificate, however no parental information there. In late 1939, CR was supposed to be in Shamrock TX, in the panhandle north of Amarillo. My parents were divorced in 1940 in Floyd County TX. I had heard that he was the black sheep of a very good family. No knowledge of any siblings. This is sparce information at best - but it's all I have.

#94831 - My greatgrandfather Marion Self was born in 1835 Indian Territory, married Elizabeth Patillian in Saline Parish, LA., on Feb. 04, 1859. Would like to hear from others working on this line.

#94832 - I am looking for an Amos M. or N. (Newton) Self that was b. circa 4-1848 in Union. Lumpkin or Towns Counties in GA, possibly a son to Thomas R. and Nancy Self. He married to Margaret L.? circa 1869. She was b. in NC circa 1851. They were on the 1880 and 1900 Monroe County, TN Census records, but I cannot locate them after 1900. I checked the 1910 Texas soundex, but with no luck. The 1900 Census states that Amos was a stationary engineer, possibly with the railroad I suppose. Their children listed on the 1900 Census were: Luthanna, Callie, Calvin, John & Marshal. Any help will be appreciated.

#94833 - Forgus Self, b. 1818 md Mariah Jenkins, b. 1824. Had children: Sarah, Vincent, Thomas, Elizabeth, William, David, Cooper, and Robert. William Lackey Self md. Ellen Parker ca 1874 in Pike County, AR. Is anyone else working this line?

#94901- I descend from John J. Self, born circa 1825-30 in NC or GA. He married Lydia Avaline Waters on 10-23-1851 in Union County, Ga. I believe John was a son to Job P. Self, but this has not been proven . John Self's son, Rev. Cicero C. Self was my great great grandfather . William Emery Self was my great grandfather. My grandfather was Charles Lawson Self and my father is Rev. Tommy G. Self. This set of Selfs left Union and Lumpkin Counties in GA and came to East Tennessee (Monroe County) and settled around 1885. Today their descendants primarily live in Monroe and Blount counties in Tennessee.

#94902 - Alexandra Marian Self b 1835 in Indian Territory died between 1900 and 1904 in Saline Parish, LA. (not sure of the year) His wife was Elizabeth Patillion. Joseph C. Self my grandfather born Feb.7, 1877 died June 23,1950 married Betty Latham. Edward Franklin Self my father born Oct. 7,1897,died Aug. 16,1978 in Saline Parish. Married Eula Stephens.

#94903 My line is Job Self (born before 1760), moved from Kentucky to Missouri with wife Mary. Samuel Self, born 1800 in KY., died 1854 in Texas County Missouri and had wife Elsie. Phoebe Ann Self, born 1822 Missouri, died 1906 Moniteau County Missouri, and was married to Samuel Worley. Job's father may have been Phillip Self. I am interested in learning more of Robert Self, the immigrant.

#94905 - My Self family lineage begins with my paternal grandmother, Mary France Self (1864-1954), wife of Franklin Plummer Landrum (1862-1906). Her father and mother were James M. Self was the son of John Self (abt. 1793) and Catherine (Berryhill) Self (1800-1871). My Father and Mother - James Franklin Landrum (1895-1977) and Necia Virginia (Stephens) Landrum (1903-1975).

#94891 - Mississippi - My Self family started with Ezekiel/Hezekiah Self b-abt 1788 in NC and Nancy (UK) b-abt 1787 in SC. An Ezekiel bought 40.50 acres of land in Tuscaloosa in 1837 in the St. Stephens area. First definitely found Hezekiah buying 80.04 acres and Andrew, his son, buying 40.12 acres in Blount County, Ala. near each other in 1838 through the Huntsville land office. Then to Mississippi buying land near each other in Oktibbeha Co. Miss. Hezekiah/Ezekials son, Samuel E. and his son, Laborn Lewis "LB'' Self were buying land near each other in Tuscaloosa along with Wm. E. Self. Wm. E. Self was buying in Tuscaloosa as early as 1839 also. Don't know exactly now Wm. E. and Samuel fit together but believe they're brothers. Wm. E. died before 1860 because his wife, Martha was a widow in 1860 census in Ala. The Wms. Are confusing because there are several Wms. Buying land in the Tuscaloosa and Huntsville land offices but William E. began buying land in Huntsville and Tuscaloosa in 1839 along with Samuel E. and LaBorn in Tuscaloosa Co. By 1870 Samuel disappears unless he's the Samuel buying land in Arkansas but LaBorn moves to Oktibbeha Co. Miss, Hezekiah/Ezekiel and Andrew were definitely the grandfather and uncle of Laborn. Laborn b-1829 and his wife, Nancy Ellis b-1832, settled and died in Oktibbeha Co. Miss. Martha Elizabeth Self, d/o Laborn & Nancy m'd John Hodnett. Martha & John's daughter, Tinnie D Hodnett and Daniel Copland were married in Starkville, Ms. and lived there for a year. Laborn and Nancy Ellis were buried in the Salem Baptist Church Cem. Which I visited this summer and it is totally destroyed. Laborn bought and owned some beautiful land in Columbus, Miss, for a year prior to moving back to Phenix City, Ala. And then across the Chattahoochee River to Columbus, Ga. where Daniel Copland became fire chief here. Prior to Daniel becoming fire chief, it seems that all of my Self families were land owners and farmers. Tinnie and Daniel had; my mother, Tinnie Bee b-1911 {named after both her mother and father - Daniel was called Bee}. Tinnie Bee married Henry Alton Wood and had 5 children, 4 girls and one boy. Tinnie Ditus Hodnett's, the daughter of Martha Elizabeth Self, family has been in the Phenix City, Alabama-Columbus, Georgia area 1874.

#94892 - Missouri - Last year, I located two additional Self generations. Previously, I ended with John Henry Self (my gggrandfather, 1823-1903), and had only indirect evidence of his father Joshua (1798-1880) . Reba Patton had the information to prove no only Joshua, but Joshua's father Job (1760-18??). In return, I had the information to help sort out some of Joshua's family relationships. Happily, Reba also led to the original researcher of the Joshua and Job information, Maurine Self , who led me to the Self Family Newsletter.! I believe Job is eventually descended from Robert Selfe, but I have no proof - at least yet! Growing up I never suspected that our Self family was as large as it!

#94893 Starting with my father, Lawrence C. Dixson; b. 1908 OK., Della Self, b. 1885 Robeline. LA.; James Buchanan Self, b. 1857, Cherokee Co. TX.; Samuel Self, b. 1830 AR.; to John Self, b. 1793 in GA. I do have family group sheets on these families and will share with any interested party.

#101151 Of interest is Col. Allen Self, born 29 Sept. 1800, and died June 1856. So how did he become a Col.? At War of 1812, he was 12, and he died prior to Civil War. How else can one become a Colonel? Also from Barren County, KY. - who were the parents of Clara N. Self, born 31 Dec. 1911, Cave City. Who were the parents of Eugene W. Self, born June 1904, died Nov. 1987. Need parents of Stanley W. Self, born May 1931, died July 1954. To whom was Sudie E. Page Self, born April 1868, died Jan. 1952, married to?

#101152 Clarence Andrew Self married Sallie Ingle. They had a son named Clarence Andrew Self jr. aka "C. A. Self", born 12-12-1923, died 10-04-1994. Other children of Clarence and Sallie Self were Cone, Archie, Betty, Joe, Eilene, and one child, Bobby Carol who died as an infant. They all are from the Lincolnton area of NC. This is all I know of the Selfs, and any help would be appreciated.

#101153 We start with Claude Fellows, born Sept. 2, 1886, in Hanna, McIntosh County, OK, who married Callie M. Self, born Dec. 28, 1883, who died about 1942, place unknown. They were the parents of seven children - Leana, Ivory, Nettie, Homer D., Jess Willard Sr., Jewell, and Lola M. We believe we are back to a John Self, son of William N. Self and Catherine "Katy" Berryhill, but are missing place names and only have estimated dates. Part of our research problems have been the reluctantcy of the family to discuss the past was that the family was part Cherokee and Creek, to their way of thinking, was to be ashamed. We are in hopes that someone is able to help us fill in the blanks.

#102432 Isaac Self {b.ca. 1807 in GA.} is my earliest proven Self. He m. Sarah Elizabeth Jeter {she b. ca. 1815 in GA} in GA ca. 1829. Their oldest child Elizabeth was b. in 1830 in GA, as were sisters Susan {b. ca. 1833} and Tabitha {b. ca. 1835}. By 27 June 1837 their son John was b. in AL.; daughter Jane b. ca. 1839 in AL. By 1840 the family was in Pontotoc Co., MS. There the following children were born: Isaac b. ca. 1843,Mary Ann Missouri b. 6 Dec. 1846, Sarah Ann Louisiana b. ca. 1849, Andrew b. ca. 1853, William C. b. ca. 1855. By the summer of 1858 the Self family was living in Sevier Co. AR. By Feb. 1863, father Isaac Self had died. Sarah Self remarried Nathan Kennedy in 1865 In Sevier Co; she remarried again in 1870 in Franklin Co., AR to Abner Striplin. Son John Self became my great grandfather through his son Isaac Eli Self to my father Sidney Sherman Self. Sources: U.S. Census Records; Sevier Co. and Franklin Co. AR. Records; family records.

#102433 My line is from: Jesse Self {1782-1868} & Mary Narramore , Joseph L. Self & Mary Jane Dyke, Alvin Walter Self & Rebecca Ann Highfield, Arvil Almer Self & Fern Ruth Huston, James Alvin Eugene Self & Virginia Mae Peet, Bryce Wheelock Self, that's me!

#102434 Not in the beginning, but on March 26, 1807 in Roane Co., Tenn., Henry Self married Elizabeth Allen, and the begat Wm. Nathan, Allen R., and God knows how many more Selfs. { not documented, only theory for now}. Then on Feb. 7, 1833, Blount Co., AL., Allen R. married Nancy Holloway and they begat: Phebe Clarinda, abt. 1834, Matthew Gilbert, abt. 1836, Rutha, 1838, Martha, 1840, Martin, 1842, Allen J., 1844, Debyan, 1847.

#102441 I am a descendant of John Self {m} 25 Mary 1798-Aggy Boulware. His son John Anderson Self {b} 1805, {d} 9 Jul 1866 {m} 1st , 13 Dec 1824 Jane Edwards, 2nd 21 Dec 1830-Mary Allport. His son John Anderson Self III {b} 18 April 1831, {d} 5 Jun 1907, {m} 8 Dec 1852 Sara Anne Pavy. His daughter Virginia Ann Selph {b} 6 Mar 1858, {d} 15 Jun 1927,{m} 10 Jan 1876 Thomas Boswell Pavy is my great grandmother. I believe that John Self {m} Aggy Boulware is the son of John B. Self {b} 4 Mar 1759, {d} 1826, {m} 6 Sept 1779 Sarah Harris. I believe this John is the son of William Self {m} Tabitha. This is the line I am trying to prove.

#102442 My Nathaniel Self was born in Hawkins Co. TN. His mother was Betsy Self Weir/Ware-father is still unknown. Someday I may get a family tree together for you.

#102443 Virgil b. Jun 1854, Ringold, Catoosa, GA., d. 3 Oct. 1909, Cardiff, Scott, AR., m. Annie L. McDougal, b. Mar. 1867, TX. d. 1908, Cardiff, Scott, AR., m. 14 Dec.1884, Scott, AR.

#102444 My Self ancestor: Dorothy "Dottie" Self, b. 4/26/1806 ; d. after 1842. Dottie m. abt 1825, probably in AL., to Joshua Burleson, b. 9/20/1808., d. 3/27/1887. Children to this union David"Greene"Burleson,b.12/24/1827,Hobson W. Burleson,b.2/15/1833,d.11/11/1895,m. to Sarah Ann Newberry, William S. Burleson b. 6/30/1835, Sarah Elizabeth Burleson, b. 1/31/1838, Edward H. Burleson, b. abt. 1842. After Dottie's death, Joshua remarried to Nancy Robbins. The above info is all I have on Dottie…no parents, siblings, etc. The names and some dates came from family Bible (a deceased relative had, now unknown who has it) and the rest from a Burleson researcher.

# 102445 Update. Reference Volume 9 page 73. Near the end where I talk about John Selfs obituary - it should say "John Waller Selfs obituary mentions his Grandfather as Presley Self"…..also since I sent that in I think I have found Daniel's first wife (Ann Robinson) from some material that Leroy & Jane sent me. They are the nicest people. Another little tidbit. I found my Daniel Self married a Mary Childress (2nd wife). I found her sister Caroline and she married a William Self in Ky. 1841….Will be interesting to find how he fits in.

# 102446 Kentucky addendum, Ref. Vol. 9 pages 12-13, Cumberland Co. Ky. History by Wells. A rebuttal.

I'm not in full agreement with what was written in this article. Though minor things,I'll list: 1. There is nothing to indicate the Selfs (John & family) came from Amelia Co., Va. to Ky. John was born there, but since his 3 tours in the Rev. War were from Buckingham Co., Va. I am inclined to believe he was living in Buckingham Co.

#102452 In a printed record I found the following: Tabitha Self, b about 1835; m 24 June 1858 in Hot Springs County, AR. To Ezra Johnson. Does anyone know anything about this Tabitha Self? In 1850 US Census for Pontotoc Co., MS, as a child of Isaac Self and Sarah Elizabeth Jeter is listed Tabitha Self, age 15, b GA. This census record is the only reference I have found for her. I had assumed that perhaps she had died. I do know that this Self family migrated to Sevier Co., AR by the summer of 1858. Though Hot Springs Co. is 3 or 4 counties northeast of Sevier Co, is it possible that this Tabitha could be the child of Isaac and Sarah?

#102453 I'm needing some information about a Chester Self who married a Margaret (Maggie) Patterson, she was born in 1899. We don't know nothing about Chester Self. I didn't know if he's kin to you all or not. I have been trying to find something about them, but without any luck. They are kin to my husband, George. George is also the GGG Grandson of James & Mary (Rev.) Standridge.

#102461 Desire information on my great grandparents William D. Selph and Mary Long (Lang), their parents, siblings, or other family members. Census records indicate William D. Selph born about 1809 in North Carolina as were both his parents (location unknown) and Mary Long born in Tennessee (location unknown) and both her parents born in North Carolina (location unknown). They were married in Maury County, Tennessee 7 June 1835 and had children born about as follows: George 1836, Julia 1837, John A. 1839, William M. 1841, Anderson Pinkney 1845, Mathha J. 1846, James J. 1847, Sydney 1852, Thomas 1854, Elliza or Louisa 1859. Census records show William D. and Mary Selph in Tennessee Counties of Lewis 1850, Madison 1860, Gibson 1870 and Crockett 1880. In 1880 Crockett County TN census William was shown as 72 years old and Mary as 68 years old, living in the Coxville area indicating they died after 1880. Due to transportation restraints it is believed they would have been buried in the general area however have been unable to find any church, court, or cemetery record of same. Census records for 1850,1860,1870 showed spelling as Self, however, 1880 census, marriage records, military records, and other documents all indicate spelling as Selph. In 1850 census of Lewis County, Tennessee there are four families living next to each other: #516 James C. Long, age 20 born TN, Jane age 23 born NC, Sarah age 10/12 born TN. #517 William D. Self age 41 born NC, Mary age 35 born TN, and 7 children. #518 John Long age 33 born TN, Letty age 32,born TN, and 5 children. #519 Margaret Long age 45(?) born NC. This would tend to indicate that Long is the correct spelling of Mary's maiden name and that the other three families are related to Mary Long.

#103761 - I am searching for information on the family of Lourina Anna SELPH, my grandmother. She was born 19 Mar 1849 in Dover, Stewart Co., TN. Lourina married Franklin Alonzo DUNBAR 22 Jul 1874 in Alton, IL. They were in Texas from approximately 1877 until 1888. They then moved to Kirkwood, MO. Lourina died 8 Jun 1900 and is buried next to Franklin at Oak Park Cemetery, Kirkwood, MO. Her death certificate did not list her parents or even her husband. It even has her name as Sourina instead of Lourina. I was informed that Bertha Selph HIGGS who died in Collinsville, IL was my dad's cousin. Bertha's father was Robert SELPH. So, if Bertha was my dad's cousin I wonder if Robert was Lourina's brother. I am hopeful that someone can help me find Lourina's family.

#103762 - In Cumberland Co. Kentucky Will Records 1815-1912 on Page 42, it lists the Will of John H. Philpot and shows it was witnessed by....Guy Self, John Self, Jr....11-15-1839. Does anyone have any information on who this John Self, Jr. is?

#103763 - Isaac Self born ca. 1807 in GA., married Sarah Elizabeth Jeter born ca. 1815 in GA., Their children are as follows: Elizabeth born ca 1830 in GA.; Susan born ca 1833 in GA.; Tabitha born ca 1835 in GA.; John born 27 June 1837 in AL.; Jane born ca 1839 in AL.

My Isaac Self family was on the 1840, 1845, and 1850 Pontotoc County, MS. Census. Isaac's brother, Jethro (Jet) Self is shown on the 1840 Upson County, GA. census. I have not been able to prove Isaac and Jethro's father, though an old family pedigree chart shows their father as John with no documentation. By 1858 Isaac and his family moved from Pontotoc Co., Mississippi into Sevier Co. Arkansas. Isaac & Sarah are shown on the 1860 Sevier County, Arkansas census in the household with their daughter Elizabeth Self Jordan, wife of Jackson J. Jordan. Isaac Self died before 1864. His wife, Sarah married Nathan Kennedy May 4, 1865, in Sevier County, Arkansas. Sarah married again in 1870 in Franklin County, Arkansas to Abner Striplin. I do not know Sarah's date of death or place of burial.

Isaac's son, John Self with his wife Nancy Ann Hamby Self are shown in the 1870 Franklin County, Arkansas Census records next to the Striplin family. John Self and Nancy Ann Hamby married August 25, 1864, in Upson County, Ga. John and Nancy's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Self is my Great Grandmother. Sarah Elizabeth Self married Daniel Washington Jackson, 12 October 1884, Mena, Polk Co., Arkansas. John and Nancy Self, Sarah Elizabeth Self Jackson and Daniel Washington Jackson are all buried in the Concord Cemetery in Ink, Polk County, Arkansas. I am seeking the parents of my Isaac, as well as, death and burial information on my Isaac and Sarah Elizabeth Striplin.

#103772 - Melchezedec Self married Catherine Moore in NC in 1801. Possibly two of their children were born in NC. Adam b 1802 and Clarissa b 1804. Then , they went into TN and remained there until about 1823. Children born there were: Mary b 1805; Isaac b 1808, Abraham b 1811, Catheron b 1813, and Esther b 1815. Some researchers list James b 1817 and Elizabeth b 1822. The family next removed to Jackson Co. Ala. where Jacob was born in1825. The children began to marry. Adam married Mahala McKie. Mary married Washington Smith. Catheron m James Bennett. Clarissa md. William Wright. Esther md. James Fletcher. Abraham md. Martha Freemen and later Lucinda DuBois. Jacob md. Ambrillia Norman. This large group of Selfs removed to Fannin Co. TX around 1845. Many of the children's children had married by this time and they moved too.

My query is for anyone out there working on Catheron Self Bennett orEsther Self Fletcher or Isaac Self to exchange information with. The Bennetts and the Fletchers may have gone into Ark. We think Isaac's widow and children stayed in Ala..

This was the last move for Melchezedec, Adam, Esther, Jacob, and Abraham as they died in Fannin Co. and are buried there. However , this mobile family moved to other parts of TX, OK, and Ark.

#1041051 Jacob Self, Sr. ca 1750 Va., N.C., Melchezedec 1777 N.C., Abraham Pinkney 1811 Tn., George Washington 1838 Fannin Co., Tx., John Henry 1868 Fannin Co., Tx and George Britton ( Brit ) Self 1895 Fannin Co., Tx. are my line. My query is about Abraham Pinkney Self, born in Rutherford Co., Tn., in regard to his first wife. I have two names shown as possibly being the right one, or maybe neither are the right name for her. One name is just "Susanna" and no surname. The other is Martha Freeman as the first wife. I know Lucinda Dubois is the second wife for she is buried in New Salem Cemetary, Fannin Co., Tx. as is Abraham Pinkney. His first wife is the mother of Geo.Washington Self and a daughter Lucy Ann Self, so I would appreciate any information anyone might have to clarify this.

#1041052 My gtgrandfathers name was Jasper Newton Self, born 1848 in Clay, Jefferson County, C Alabama, died in 1921, buried here in Clay Alabama. Married Artelia Jane Little from Leeds, Alabama, she was born 1859 (this her second marriage and his first wife was Florence Merriken) . She died in 1902.

#1041053 The earliest Self ancestor I have verified is William B. Self married to Mary Elizabeth (Polly) Burleson. They lived in Freestone County, Tx in 1858. I have read the information submitted on this family to the Freestone genealogy society which lists their children. Their daughter, Patience Malinda Self married John T. Cockrum. I am a descendent of this marriage as follows: John T. Cockrum- son William Benjamin Cockrum - son Everett Lee Cockrum (who changed the spelling to Cochran) - daughter Ora Alice Cochran Littlejohn - daughter Eva Lyn Littlejohn Margle. I know that Loraine Self Saario from California has done a lot of research on the Self family. She is also descended from the same William B. Self/Polly Burleson marriage. I am interested in the parents of William B. Self and the rest of the Self lineage. I feel certain the Self family must have come to Texas during the time Texas was a Republic, or shortly thereafter, but have not found this to be true at this point. Can you tell me where William B. and family came to Texas from and when.

#1041054 My Self Family - First Generation. William Nathan Self, son of Henry Self and Elizabeth Allen was born in South Carolina about 1807. He migrated from South Carolina to Alabama in 1820. He married Frances Taylor on November 16, 1826 in Blount county, AL. William Self died at the age of 53. He and Frances had the following children: Henry Self 1827; Jesse Self 1828; Elizabeth Self 1831; Allen Robert Self 1832; Jackson Self 1833; William Mattheas Self 1834; John L. Self 1835; Nancy R. Self 1838; Hannah A. Self 1840; James Self 1841; Tabbetha Self 1843; Nathan R. Self 1846; Campbell Self 1848.

#1041061 The earliest Self that I have been able to tie myself to is Samuel Zachariah Self, shown as Zachariah on the 1850 Census of Richmond county, VA., and Zach on the marriage records of his children. On the 1850 Census he is listed as being 35 years of age with his wife Martha, children: Madison age 14, Samuel age 12, James E. age 4, and Cordelia age 2. Samuel Zachariah married (1) Elizabeth Brickley, a widow, March 1835, and (2) Martha Luckham April 29, 1845. Therefore sons Madison and Samuel listed in 1850 census were probably from his first marriage and James E. (which is actually Jane E.) and Cordelia were from the second marriage. The 1860 Census of Richmond County, VA. lists the family with only children by the second marriage, namely Jane E., Cordelia, Isabella, Mahala, John R., and Martha A. By the 1870 Census Samuel Zachariah Self must have passed away for the family is not listed as a unit. Children have either married or are living in other homes, and Martha Self, the widow, is now living in Lancaster County, VA. with son George, keeping house for Thomas Star. I descend from Samuel Zachariah Self's son John Robert Self, thru his daughter Mary Virgie Self who married A.R. Douglas.

#1041062 My early Self ancestry is that of Elizabeth Self, daughter of Parrish Self of Chatham County, N.C. Elizabeth married James Duncan in Chatham Co. about 1791. In 1850 they were farming in Franklin Co. AL. An unmarried daughter, Sarah, was living with them, whereas their son, Garner Parish Self farmed next door. In 1860, Sarah was head of her own household, so I am assuming that James and Elizabeth died between 1850-1860 in Franklin. Co. AL. As yet, I have not found documentation for their death or burial.

#1041063 My genealogy quest flickered to life in 1982 when I signed up to purchase "The Self Family Heritage" book, which of course, is primarily a glorified address book of persons named Self. The Book went on the shelf and sat for 12 years until 1994, when I wrote about a dozen form letters to people with my given name (Edward), or my father's (Henry), with addresses in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Letters also went out to ALL the Selfs in Tampa (my birthplace). The letters contained only the most meager information as I knew very little about my father. He'd owned a gas station / garage in Tampa about 1926, and was a good mechanic. Most of the letters came back because the 14 year old addresses were no longer any good. But one struck gold!

This address was also no good, but the postmaster recognized Betsey Self as '.. one of the O'Neal girls' , and passed it on to her father. Shortly thereafter I got a phone call from the ex-wife of a half-brother I never knew existed! A death certificate gave me the names of my fathers parents, and obituaries provided names of other relatives. Census records gave me clues, but finding my grandfathers parents was a problem because he was born in 1881, and was no longer living at home when the 1900 census was taken. He was then living with his aunt Sarah Little, age 54. By then I knew my grandmothers name was Elizabeth, and that her age was 58. So I searched the 1850 census records until I found a 4 year old Sarah and an 8 year old Elizabeth. Then by working forward from 1850, I was able to verify that I had indeed located the correct Sarah and Elizabeth Whitney. One bit of good fortune was an unusual given name, ZENO. Due to this rather uncommon name, I've made several connections I might have missed, including a move from Macon, Georgia, to Dallas, Texas. Sherman's 'march to the sea' has complicated my search, and the earliest I've been able to reach is the 1850 census, where William Self, age 46, is married to Rebecca, age 48. I have one or two possibilities, but nothing proven. My great grandfather, William Joseph Self, had six brothers and one sister. His wife, Elizabeth Jane, had 7 sisters and one brother. In my research I've accumulated a great deal of information on them as well.

#111161 Doreen Of the UK would like information re: ancestors of her GG grandfather Philip Self cabinet maker of Broad Street, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. England. he was born in 1817.

They moved to Hull East Yorkshire England and had a daughter Florence. b 1875 who was my grand mother. Yours in Anticipation.

#111162 I would like to post a query concerning a lost great-uncle of mine, the older brother of my grandmother, Ethel Leola Self Mayse. His name was Allie Milburn (or Melbourne) Self, born September 26, 1904 to Silas Milburn/Melbourne Self and his wife Dora Candace Potter Self. Silas (b. 1881) and Dora (b. 1885) were born in Litchfield KY and Brownsville KY respectively and were married in Oklahoma Territory (near Hydro OK) in June, 1903. Allie, their oldest child, was born in the Hydro OK area the following year. Allie had a falling out with his father and left the family in the early 1920s. When his father died in 1924, Allie was still missing from the family. Eventually, they heard from him and knew that he had served in the Marines and had married a woman named Ruth or Ruby somewhere in California. In 1930, when his mother Dora was dying in an Enid OK hospital, his stepfather, Albert Urban, contacted Allie. He returned to Enid to say goodbye to his mother. During this visit, the first time he had seen his 7 brothers and sisters in many years, he got a phone call from his wife in California. She was a tuberculosis patient and was being put into a hospital. He left to return to her, boarding a train, but he never arrived in California. His wife never heard from him again and neither did his family, although my grandmother believed firmly that Allie had tried to call her home in Medford OK in the early 1970s, but could never get up the courage to speak. This family mystery is still unsolved. Allie's two living sisters would dearly like to know what became of him. It is possible he died en route to California and his family was not notified. Or, he may have changed his name and begun a new life. There is a photo of the young Allie Self, who grew up to be a very handsome young man, on the cover of the Vol. IX, Issue 3 "Self Family Newsletter" (1998). I have later pictures of Allie and am hoping someone reading this newsletter is descended from him.

I am trying to get all my information straight so that I can write my family history correctly. I want to concentrate on William Henry. He seems to have had the most interesting life of all the Self's on my branches.

#111184 My grandmother was an orphan Self and the family has been searching for information on her for many years. I'm positive she was the daughter of Monroe Self and Eveline Rhyne of Perry County, MO., but I can't prove it yet. She married William Allen Webb in Seventy Six, Perry County, MO. In 1870. They had 8 children (one of whom died as an infant) all born in Perry Co. MO. William A. Webb was a farmer, and in 1910 he was living in St. Marys township.

#111192 My great great grandfather Asa Driver who was born between 1812 - 1814 in Tennessee, and died May 24, 1892 in Dekalb County, TN. Was married to an unknown Self before 1836. This unknown Self was born between 1818 - 1820 in TN. And died 1845 -1850 in Dekalb county, TN. Children of Asa Driver and and this unknown Self were: Ephraim Driver born 1838; Nancy Driver born 1842; and Asa Doyle Driver born November 10, 1845 in Dekalb County and died April 27, 1895 Dekalb Co. (Asa Doyle Driver was my great grandfather) After the death of the unknown Self, Asa driver married Tabitha Kemp Hickman on Sept. 25, 1850 in Dekalb Co. Asa and Tabitha had one child: Susan Amanda Driver. In the 1850 census for Dekalb County, Nancy Driver, age 8, is living with Abner and Nancy Self. I have also received information that she was the daughter of a George Self who was a brother to Abner Self. And I have received information that Abner and George were the sons of Bradley Self. Any information to help identify this unknown Self would be appreciated, as well as any information on the Abner Self lineage, including pointing me to documentation.

#111193 Seeking proof that William Daniel (1780 NC - 1845 GA.) married Sara Self (b. ca. 1780 - 1785). Family lived in NC, SC, AL., and GA. Sarah buried at Shady Grove Methodist, Union County, GA. One of his oldest sons named Job Daniel. Was he named for Job Self? I am descended through Ruth Daniel who married Bryant Hill and lived in Habersham County, GA. Job Daniel md 1st Celia Hill, sister of Bryant.

#111194 Response. As usual I enjoyed the latest issue of the SELF FAMILY NEWSLETTER. On page 103 is a query regarding the Selfs of Prince Edward County. I do not know what the evidence may be that the William Isaac Self she mentions was born in 1775 in Prince Edward County nor do I know what proves he was the same "William Self" whose marriage to Dicey Vaughn is recorded in Bedford County in 1796, but I have long wondered who this William was who married Dicey Vaughn. However, if she does have evidence that the William who married Dicey Vaughn was indeed born in Prince Edward County in 1775, then he was surely connected to the William Self mentioned in a scant few records of Prince Edward County around 1779. However, I would suggest that he was definitely not William Jr., son of this older William Self. This older William Self seems almost surely to be the same William Self who had on-going ties with Cumberland County from at least 1768 to his death in 1791 in Cumberland County. This seems to be proven by the fact that the William Self "of Prince Edward County" who bought land in Bedford County in 1779 was joined by his wife Hannah when he later sold that land (by then part of Campbell County) in 1786. And Hannah was the name of William Self's widow in 1791 in Cumberland County. This William Self's son William was definitely his eldest son and perhaps his eldest child.

There has always been some confusion in my mind as to why there are numerous records of the name William Self in Bedford and Campbell County at the same time the name William Self appears fairly consistently in Cumberland County. Though I think most of them are clearly to the same William Self who obviously was connected with both counties, it is also possible that some of the references are to William Junior?

So if she does have evidence her ancestor William Isaac Self was born in 1775 in Prince Edward County then I would suggest that he may well have been a son of William Self Jr who was a tithable by at least 1768. William Senior seems to have had only one other son, Thomas, who was his youngest child not being born until 1776. Just one thought in closing. Hannah was the wife of William Self Sr. by at least the mid 1770's and surely the mother of the younger children, but I seriously doubt that she was the mother of the older children since William Self's children seem to have birth dates ranging from before 1752 to as late as 1775. My own ancestor, Francis Ann, who seems to have been the 5th child was born in January 1763. Susannah and Thomas seem to have been born much later than the other children of William Sr. I mention this because in looking for the origins of William Self Sr. we should not expect to find him with a wife named Hannah. Also, our current knowledge that he was a married adult fathering children by 1750 or so suggests he was born earlier than we originally realized. This information limits somewhat the search for eligible fathers among the Selfs of Westmoreland and Northumberland County if that is indeed where he originated?

I should mention one other matter. I have long believed that the above William Self Jr. migrated to Lincoln Co., N.C. by the 1790's where he is found quite near his brother-in-law, Benjamin Homesley. However, it would not be surprising that he might have had a son who either remained behind in Bedford Co., Va. or perhaps returned there to marry?

#111211 My earliest known ancestor is John Self born about 1793 in Georgia. He married Catherine Berryhill November 09, 1820. James Monroe Self was the ninth child of John and Catherine Self born October 02, 1843 in Natchitoches, Louisiana, died September 28, 1910. James M. Self married Mary Ann Weldon December 13, 1862. Miles Coleman Self was the sixth child of James and Mary Self, born February 1875, and died about 1912-1915 due to a logging accident. Miles married Alice Lettie Phillips July 04, 1899. Gilbert Wesley Self was the fourth child of Miles and Alice Self, born October 15, 1908, died May 04, 1989. I would like to say "Thanks" to everyone that responded to my request of help in the beginning of my search. A name was all I had to begin with. Since then I have found many relatives and connections.

My line remained in the area. John Self was married to an Elizabeth, who bore him at least 4 children: George Washington (Green), Littleberry, Charlotte, and Louvica / Louvici. George married first an Atterberry who died ca. 1841 after bearing several children; he married Mary Crump ca. 1842 by whom he had several children who settled in Indiana. I descend from his oldest child Green McClellan Self.

Green moved to Indiana for a while ca. 1850, but had returned to Kentucky, settling in Meade County by 1860. He then returned to Hart County and his wifes parents made their home with him in 1870. During the Civil War he was a Lieutenant of one of the volunteer units from Hart County. Also in this unit were his son George W. Self, and several of his wife's Logsdon relatives.

G.M.C.'s wife was Martha Jane Logsdon. One of their younger sons was Green Self jr., who married Marian Belle Wilkerson of Hart County. They had two children: Elizabeth Davis Self and Theodore Chilton Self before Belle's death in 1881. Green married second to Kate Neville of Edmonson County who died giving birth. Green married third to Alice Vance and had two more daughters: Condie H. who married Elza G. Self, a distant cousin, and Mae. Both of these girls lived in and raised families in Kessinger. [Marguerite is the author of "Our Selfs in Hart County" a brief history of the John and Edward Self families which was printed in the October 1999 and January 2000 issues of the Hart County Quarterly]

#111223 Until a month ago or so, my known ancestry stopped at my great great grandfather, William Chappell Self. Turns out that's where my line plugs into the same line as Bryce Selfs; its just like a jigsaw puzzle! We believe his earliest known ancestor is the same as mine. Now my earliest known ancestor is Jesse Self (1782-1868) and Mary Narramore. The rest of my direct descendent line is William Chappell Self (died Feb. 1907) and Elizabeth Moreland; Starrett Hardin Self (b. April 13, 1880 in Whitfield County, died Feb. 20, 1966 in GA. and Maud Emma Lively, Elford Judson "Jack" Self (b. March 19, 1909 in Subligna GA., died May 13, 1980 in Chattanooga, TN.

#111231 Zeno Worth Self, son of Jacob and Frances Self, was born in Georgia 10 June 1857, listed in 1870 census Jackson County, GA., living with father, Jacob Self, (stepmother) W.E.F. Self age 24 (I believe this is Sarah E. E. Smith who married Jacob in Bibb County on 3 January 1867; brother Joseph William Self age 12: sister Mary Jane 10; sister Talulah age 1; and infant brother Harrison P. In 1880 Bibb County census he is found with his aunt Sarah A. Little and her husband Andrew J. Little, plus his own wife "jennie" (Eugenia) and their son Alfred. Living next door was his aunt Nancy A. Gray, her husband Edward and their children: Alby, Ruth, and Frances, plus his uncle Zeno Whitney and his grandmother Ruth Whitney. Zeno is listed in Macon County city directories for the years 1892, 1893/94, 1894/95, 1896, 1897, 1899, and 1900. Listed in 1900 census of Bibb County, GA., with wife Eugenia born Nov. 1857, Frances A. born Jan. 1885, Rosa Lee born April 1886, Zeno Joseph born July 1888, Clarence E. born May 1891, and Muriel born Feb. 1899.

#112491 I am trying to find information about my great-great-grandmother Elvira Self. She married John H. Lane on May 26, 1837, in Greene County, Tenn. She was born in 1803 and died April 30, 1844. She had two daughters. One was Sarah Elizabeth, who lived to be a spy for the Union during the Civil War and the other daughter, Dorcas Amanda, was my great-grandmother. We have a picture of her, and she was a very pretty lady. Do you have any information on her or her family?

#112493 Willoughby SELPH/SELF believed born about 1779, Orange County, North Carolina was married 12 May 1806 to Hannah BLACKWOOD born about 29 October 1777, Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina. Would like assistance in connection with names, date of birth, or any other information for any children, parents, siblings, wills, land transfer, or any other legal document in connection with Willoughby SELPH. It is thought perhaps one or both of the following might have been a child of the above couple, however, need information to confirm or eliminate: M. Willoughby SELPH born about 1810 North Carolina married Mary SELF on 2 April 1833 in Gibson County TN and William D. SELPH born about 1809 North Carolina married Mary LONG on 7 June 1835 in Maury County, TN.

#112494 I am looking for the family of my grandfather William Self born in VA 1875-1877. His mother was named Martha, she also had two daughters, Essie and Lizzie. They lived in the White Stone area of Lancaster County VA but there is no record of their birth, marriage, or census. The only record of this family is on the 1900 census of Baltimore City that shows them living together and that my grandfather was employed as a candy maker. He did work at the Fred Foos Candy Co. from the late 1800's until 1953/54. He married Mary Rebecca Warfield who lived at #16 Calhoun Street in the city of Baltimore. William and Rebecca had one child Dorothy Virginia Self. Essie married a Harrison from the Claiborne area of the Maryland Eastern Shore and had children by the name of Louise, Gladys, Woody, William and Earl. No record has been found of Lizzie Self other than on the 1900 Census. If any one in the Self community could be of help in providing information on Martha, William, Lizzie and Essie I would really be happy to hear from them.

#112501 I hope that someone can help me find some info on some of my Self family. My great great grandmother was Sallie Jane Self. She married James Riley Shaw. The only date I have on either is that James Riley Shaw died Jan. 28, 1922. He is buried in Upson County at The Flint River Church according to a newspaper article I found. I assume Sallie Jane is also buried there. So far I have found 5 children, but of course, there may be more. They were:
1. Sarah "Rennie" Earles who married Samuel Shaw.
These are my great grandparents. Sarah was born April 6, 1876 and died November 17, 1959.
2. Viola Earles who married Will Young.
3. Aquilla Earles
4. Jack Earles who married Ada (last name unknown).
I have a picture of them with two young girls, Mattie Lou and Sallie Lou Earles.
5. Lizzie Earles. Any help on Sallie Jane's ancestors, would be of much help.

#112521 Searching for descendants of Pinkney Grant Kay (sr.), who's first wife was America Ann Self. i am a Kay from the children of his second of three wives. (Safronia Craig). hoping to find pink's ancestors. Rumour has it we were Mackay's until "disgraced" by an indian/irish marriage. Can't find the indian or the "disgracor"...probably a grandfather of Pinkney's. His father was Eli Kay, b. 1810 in So. Carolina, and his mother was (i think), Lettie Moss. Pinkney Grant Kay Sr. was born in 1830, South Carolina. He first married America Self, who died. then he married Safronia Craig (my ancestor), who also died. His third wife was a Simmons. He was in the logging business, and died in a wagon on his way to town in 1880, in Vernon Parish, La. I think he fathered, between all three wives, something in the neighborhood of 22 children. I don't have an exact count, because for several I only have nicknames (loll, tall, sol) and don't know if I have their real names also.

#112522 I have been searching for the "Self" family member mentioned in my g.g.g. grandfather's (Gabriel Brown) probate of 1870 Jackson Co., OR.

The heirs of the estate of the deceased are HULDAH BLALOCK, SARAH SELF, CYNTHIA DAVIE, JAMES BROWN, JOHN BROWN, EMELINE ODEN, WILLIAM W. BROWN, and the minor heirs of POLLY FOSTER, and the heirs of KATY SELF, all are residents of Oregon but one SARAH SELF who as your Petitioner believes resides an Arkansas. Hulda Blalock (first husband was Daniel Girtman, I believe of Arkansas, 1830 a Daniel Girtman lived Sevier Co., p. 162, 1840 Daniel Girtman lived Sevier Co. p 161). Sarah Self, Cynthia Davie, Emeline Oden, Polly Foster, Katy Self were daughters of Gabriel Brown, his sons were William W. Brown, James Brown, and John Brown. Gabriel Brown lived in Clark / Pike County, AR., ca. 1826 - 1840. In 1842 he joined the Elijah White wagon train in Elm Grove, Mo. To Oregon City, OR. He died in Jackson County, OR. 1870.
