Just to see if there might be a kinship connection — I found information on “Chuck” Norris’s ancestors…Guess what?
Via his father’s line he is 7th cousin to my brother, Byron, and me.
Our common ancestors are John Norris and Mary Winifred Patrick.
I will add more details at a later date.
T’was doing other things when I saw a ‘lead’ mentioned in a random email message.
Just FYI.
Isn’t genealogy detective work worth the effort, at times?

Family Tree Progess
Okay, let’s do a quick wrap-up here…[updated and corrected]
The PARK family has descendency ties to Robert E. Lee and his wife [Mary Ann Randolph Custis].
Her ancestor was George Washington‘s wife Martha Dandridge CUSTIS (maiden name DANDRIDGE). Martha’s first husband was 20 years her senior — he was Daniel PARKE CUSTIS (son of John CUSTIS, and grandson of John Parke); her father was John Dandridge — her mother was Agnes Wilder.
*** Robert E. Lee was also a distant cousin to his wife. [added: 28Dec2010)
—–
PARK/PARKE/PARKS descendants are connected to the Burchfields — the Burchfields via the Park line (somewhere) are kin to the Gustafsson/Justice family originally from Sweden; and how did I get here (this time)?
Tracing the Davis-Smathers connection of Aunt Betty Davis (married – Jack Abernathy) — trying to learn about her father’s family.
—–
The other point of interest is Aunt Betty Davis Abernathy‘s ancestral ties to a Cherokee Chief Oowahooskie (various spellings found).
His ‘wife’ had been captured from a white settlement/group when she was about six years old. They had three sons; she and the sons were later released — they lived as white men, and were land-holders. This made for Cherokee heritage claims with US courts unsuccessful — but the Indian connection seems valid from research/sources found online, now.
—–
There is also a connection between the PARK family and a CHANDLER line in Georgia…will follow this up later.
—–
Another connection exist between the DAVIS line and the CARPENTER (ZIMMERMAN) families from North Carolina — this warrants further research, since my mother and my father’s ancestral line include connection to the CARPENTER (ZIMMERMAN) lines from the Carolinas.
—–
NO direct Patey/PATE/PATTY connections — but have found AYERS/AYRES, PAYNE, and McClellan connections in the Carolina regions (where my husband’s family were from)…
The PAYNE connection may link up with the TEAGUE, SPEER, PERRY, OWEN or other related families who later migrated to NE Alabama (near Ft. Payne).
—–
With the research from the past three days — “We are all kin” has more meaning then is previously did, for me.
Each friend I have helped with their family tree research, I have also found something that fit with prior research for my own complicated ancestral lines.
Are your ancestors included in this tangle of kinfolks?
Contact me with a bit of your grandparents vital statics (dates, location, family members) — I will see what I can find.

Jacksonville News – Former News ad director dies
04-15-2009
Jim Haynes led the singing at Oxford church of Christ.
Services for former Jacksonville News advertising director James “Jim” Haynes, 75, of Oxford were at 2 p.m. Monday, April 13, at the Oxford church of Christ. Bob Prichard, Ed Smith and Charles Box officiated. Congregational singing was led by Ronnie Hubbard. Burial was in Oxford Memorial Gardens.
Mr. Haynes died April 11 at Stringfellow Memorial Hospital.
He retired from The McClellan News and The Jacksonville News where he served as advertising director for 20 years. While at the News, as a member of the Jacksonville Merchants Association, fellow JMA members voted to follow his suggestion and name the association’s fall festival Mountain Echoes.
“The business community has lost a true advocate in Jim Haynes,” said friend and fellow JMA member Jerry Klug.
