Hot Day Thursday, Jul 8 2010

7 July 2010
One very hot day.
Dave and I delivered groceries to Mom; then headed back home.
Stopped at a few thrift/antique stores along the way.
Since getting in the AC, and starting to cool off, have been reading messages, and adding/correcting more items on my websites (somewhat set in havoc by my previous computer dying); as well as blogs, and misc. stuff.
Need to get things sorted out with this new laptop, get it behaving the way I want it; so I will be able to create a backup set of RECOVERY disks — then get Dave to set it for dual-boot (Windows 7 and Linux).
My head is pounding, so I won’t do much more for now.
How has your week been?
Would love to hear from my readers.

Death of a computer…a new beginning Tuesday, Jun 1 2010

(Take two…)
Attempted this post just but a few minutes ago — stepped away from the keyboard — came back the automatic Windows 7 update had re-started my computer. [growl!]
I lost all the text I had written (now have settings a bit different, to prevent this problem from occurring again) — I hate having to re-write things when software/OS updates cause me to lose them.
——————–­——
Now, where was I?
Ahhh, heck — I think I’ll do something else and come back to this post. There are things needing to be added, set-up; and yet to be test-driven on this computer.
I promise to return – soon.
“And to continue…”
– Cathy

James Crow, Senior: from “COMPTON’S PLACE OF GEORGIA CONNECTIONS AND MUCH MORE” Tuesday, Feb 16 2010

RootsWeb’s WorldConnect Project: COMPTON’S PLACE OF GEORGIA CONNECTIONS AND MUCH MORE

Greetings Bill and others.

Levi Crow born 25 March 1782 was probably never in Whitfield Co., GA and probaby died in North East GA on 26 October 1850, as evidenced by his Family Bible pages. His widow, Nancy MNU, did likely die in Whitfield Co., GA after the 7 July 1870 Census, where she was enumerated next dwelling from her son, Wiley and wife Sarah Jane Hickey. Levi born 1782 was not the son, or related to the James Crow you have him attached to here. He was the son of James Crow Sr., born 14 April 1740, unknown where, and died, 19 December 1833, probably in GA. These birth and death dates for James Crow Sr. came directly from his son, Levi Crow’s, Bible pages.

It has now been proven by The Crow(e) DNA Study, that James Crow Sr. born 14 April 1740 is indeed related to Randolph C. Crow Sr. and my GGG Samuel Crow, both born in the 1770′s. Whether James Crow was an Uncle, or father to them, is unkown at this time. It is my opinion, the James Crow Sr.’s son, James Crow Jr., is very likely the James Crow that married Hannah Black in Elbert/Franklin Co. GA, and they left GA for Gibson Co., IN about 1800. I am working hard trying to find a couple of male Crow’s from the James Crow Jr. and Hannah Black Crow line to participate in our Crow(e) DNA Study to prove this connection to our Crows as well.

Kind regards,

Anniston Star: Second mound report released Wednesday, Feb 3 2010

Anniston Star – Second mound report released

slideshow
OXFORD — A University of Alabama archaeologist has released a report stating a pile of stones in Oxford was created by natural forces and not American Indians centuries ago — a report written two months after he signed another report stating the opposite.

Robert Clouse, director of the Office of Archaeological Research at the University of Alabama and director of the University of Alabama Museums, mailed the second report on the mound behind the Oxford Exchange to The Star at a reporter’s request.

The report cites different geologic surveys of the area and other American Indian archaeological excavations for comparison. Clouse is not a geologist, though he says he minored in geology as an undergraduate student.

The report states the mound is a natural formation and is not culturally significant.

The stone mound became the center of a dispute last summer, which ended with the City of Oxford backing away from plans to level the mound and use dirt beneath it for fill at a nearby construction site. City officials have repeatedly stated the mound was not man-made. They also later claimed they had not touched the mound, a claim contradicted by pictures contained in Clouse’s second report which show heavy equipment dismantling it.

The second report concluding the mound was natural was produced in July during the thick of the controversy over the site which began in June. The first report, which said the site was significant, was produced in April.
