In the mystery photo of five men and one woman, Mom said that Grandmother Beulah told her that she remembered the woman was named Julia and one of the men was named Andrew just as you have written on your website. I printed out a large photo of this group of people from you site and Mom, when she saw it, said she couldn't be of any more help except to say the old photo may be around here somewhere with the names written on it. I'll have to look it up.

Also: I showed her the picture of the molasses mill and it set her off in a storytelling mood. We recorded it. She said the man bending over the molasses strainer is George Padgett but doesn't know who the other man is. He is nondescript as you know because he is standing in the shadows. I will get more info on George as I have a Rutherford Co. book and his family may be in it. Mom said his brother married Great Grandmother Mattie's sister. I'll let you know what I find. Mom says that George is not kin but I believe he is. I have a conviction that all the Padgett's of NC are related and that Mom and Dad are cousins through that bloodline too.

I am going to transcribe Mom's tape of that molasses story and send you that later. I haven't finished filling up that tape she's been talking on with her stories so can't make copies of it yet.

Like you site a lot and will check it out more later. Keep up the good work! I like the connection to the genealogy pages.

Catch you later, Yvonne

Note: In conversations later Yvonne has told me that the people in the picture are Julia A. Hamrick and her new husband Andrew McGinnis. The other men are his brothers, but so far the older lady (2nd from left) is still unknown, the man on the far left appears older as well, so they may be his mom and dad, but I am only guessing there... ken

While doing some research through my old Email files I came across this message that Yvonne had sent to me on Friday, April 14, 2000 10:16 PM... Ken

Ken,

The photo attachment is the McGinnis family on Mom's side . And you know that Grandpa Jess married a McGinnis. (I don't know at this point if Mom and Dad's McGinnis's are related, probably are somewhere back there).

The following names are listed on the back of Andrew-Julia.jpg When I go back up to see Mom I will ask her to identify Julia for I think she is standing beside Andrew. Mom has commented that she didn't know the people in this photo but now that I know that one is Julia A. Hamrick, Mom might be able to tell which one is she is because of Julia's features. The girl on the right doesn't look like a Hamrick. This is the order the names were written in on the back of the photo.

Andrew McGinnis

Julia (Hamrick) McGinnis

Arthur McGinnis

Kenneth McGinnis

Aughty McGinnis

Lumey McGinnis

Jessie Helms

I checked our Kimbrell.paf and found Andrew and Julia but none of Andrew's family.

Julia A. Hamrick McGinnis is the daughter of Robert Benson Hamrick & Emily Jane Horn. You can see on the pedigree that Robert and Emily are Mom's ( Mallie ) great grandparents, Grandmother Beulah's grandparents.

Later, Yvonne

In case you are wondering, this photo is parked here so that it can be used elsewhere.
