Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

You asked about Poseys

A woman looking for our connection to the Posey line emailed me today.
Going back through my old records, I find Poseys, Noah and Feraby in 1850 census with six children at Sop Choppy Florida. Noah was 36 years old in 1850. Feraby was 37. In 1870 in Wakulla, Noah and Feraby were listed in censue with only one at home, Noah A who was 20.
In 1880, Noah A was listed with his father, Noah, in home with him. Father was 67. No mention of Feraby in 1880 and no mention of a wife for Noah A.
I have a few other Posey family group sheets. I'll post some of them later.

I did not go to the class for Legacy genealogy program, but my friend Mike went and said this program is wonderful. I will have to find time to get it and learn it. Mike said it is amazing. Sounds like it would be great to compile a book.
Mike also has the Posey line way back in her ancestry.

Councils and Poseys connected in Profiles and Pedigrees, Thomas Charles Council Descendants

Photo: Oleo Council Gilreath's family.

Our Council line intersects with the Posey line. John Cecil Council married Frances Delaura Posey. We don't have a picture of "Fanny" but we do have a great photo of John Cecil.


The Posey line has been researched back to France and one of my dear friends Michelle has a Posey line. One day she called and told me that we are eighth cousins. How nice to know that my lovely friend is also a distant relative.


In my book, Profiles and Pedigrees, many Posey names are listed under Noah Posey's family in the Council descendancy chart.


The Poseys and Councils are still in Wakulla County Florida where families settled in the 1800's.
