I've been tracing my mom's Norwegian lines and found we have ties to Iceland! As for the Currence and Arbogast lines where I come from, I have considered joining up with Facebook just to start my own family history site and to get in contact with my cousins. This might be the only way I can help in researching or even answering questions that have not yet been resolved with our ancestor William. Also, Col. Melvin Currence is a great grand uncle to me. He served in the Civil War as I recall. I also have pictures of my great grandparents William Currence and Ida Mae Arbogast, along those of my two grandmas Hazel and Elizabeth Currence. I have one of Uncle Mitchell their brother who suffered mustard gas poisoning in WWI and never recovered from the effects after the war. Again, don't be shy and email me at jlgifford78@frontier.com. I would love to hear from you all about our Currence family history.

It reads: "FIELDING/LANGFORD/BORN/APR 13, 1804/DIED/AUG. 1862" (space left there makes me think they intended to come back and inscribe the right day of August, when he died. The birth date is incorrect--Fielding was actually born on 24 Oct 1804, in Crab Orchard, Lincoln County, Kentucky. He died, at age 78, at the home of his daughter (by my ancestor, his 1st wife, Sarah Bethurem Langford), Mary Margaret Langford, on Warm Creek Ranch, in Warm Creek, near Oakley, in Cassia County, in southern Idaho.<br /><br />Sherlene Hall BartholomewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-55745232055524284542014-04-15T15:02:26.133-07:002014-04-15T15:02:26.133-07:00Sherrie Pierce sent me a photo of this Malta Cemet...Sherrie Pierce sent me a photo of this Malta Cemetery, Malta, Idaho marker for Sarah, Aug 2007, She wondered whether Sarah's daughter, by Fielding, Mary Margaret Langford Caldwell, "just put up the marker to commemorate her mother's death?" I think Sherrie, also a descendant of Sarah Bethurem Langford, has guessed correctly that the Malta marker is a memorial stone only. I, too, have visited and decorated actual Sarah's grave, as marked in the Willard Old Pioneer Cemetery (just down the street from the larger Willard Cemetery), marked by a gazebo and large sign, with only a few remaining gravestones, after a big flood. Looking carefully at the stone of <br />SARAH WIFE OF/F. LANKFORD," I imagine that Fielding could have chiseled it, himself. Not far away from Sarah's grave is another miraculous preservation of a gravestone for my ancestor Parthena Davis Jones Turnbaugh, wife of Isaac Turnbaughk whose daughter, Mary Caroline Turnbaugh, married Sarah and Fielding's oldest son, James Harvey Langford, Sr. Sherlene Hall BartholomewSherlene Hall Bartholomewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-69478060481366712992014-02-28T10:04:03.863-08:002014-02-28T10:04:03.863-08:00Heman and Polly's home in Nauvoo is still stan...Heman and Polly's home in Nauvoo is still standing. https://www.google.com/maps/@40.551287,-91.372139,3a,75y,48.99h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sdBou31g4s0TF5Tq-UFWlMw!2e0Brian Hydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188389840847486443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072261754072147858.post-26307147762536762892014-02-22T18:45:45.234-08:002014-02-22T18:45:45.234-08:00I am also a decendent of Hannah Currence my Great-...I am also a decendent of Hannah Currence my Great-Grandmother she married John N C Bell of Randolph County West Virginia.

Someone on the site added a pedigree chart showing an Anne McCracken as mother of our Pioneer and that her father was John Harvy McCracken and mother as Mary Ann McCracken Waugh. There is a problem: Anne's birth is shown as 1701 in Ulster. Her father John's birth is shown as 1730. This cannot be!!! Also his death is stated as 1757 while Anne's is 1727. Someone has the wrong parents for Anne or mistyped the dates. Here is the link for this pedigree if you like to view it.<br />http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/50677811/person/13135682834/family/pedigree/print<br />We need sources other than the books by Bosworth and Maxwell to help all of us find William's family in Ulster.
