Vance,
😀 Hi! Yes, you’re right. The Kinders were German. When they came to the US it was spelled Gunder. Then they changed it. My Mom’s mom was where the Indian is. Her name was Nora Sutton and we’re still working on it all, but it’s her line where the Indian is, how much, who all and what kind is the questions I’m working on.
How horrible it would be to realize you left one of your kids behind and half to go back for them. I bet that poor kid was terrified! Love & Light, Lynella.
Techteach,
Oh good! I’ll have fun taking a look at those. I love seeing who looks like who. Thank you for letting me know. It will be this evening probably before I can look. Right now I have to go out vaccume my truck and sterilize it!! I have mice in my truck. I told them I didn’t mind if they just wanted to stay in there for the winter, but then they found my snacks! And left their calling card all over the passenger side seat and my gloves and jean jacket! The little creeps! So, they’re being evicted this afternoon! Love & Light, Lynella.:)
That’s fun. We are having that joy in our new house which is actually an old house that was derelict for a year and provided a haven for the critters. We found a dead one with its head stuck under the foot of the refridgerator a couple of days ago. We had to lift the fridge to get it out. How in the world it got there baffles us. However, we also have 3 indoor cats and have dealt with ways that we know they used to get in, so it is not too bad. We had worse several years ago with a new house.

Techteach,
😀 You know, why didn’t I think about that! I could put my cat in there…..Ah, but all he does is scalp them and leave the mess for me. It’s gross! How on Earth did that one get it’s head stuck? Suppose he could have been playing Mighty Mouse? H-m-m-m! Love & Light, Lynella. 😉
Well, mine don’t know what to do with them, at least not the youngest two. They would try but I have never seen either catch anything, except for one who catches bugs. The oldest one seems to have been an outside mouser in the past. All are rescued kitties, so we can only guess based on how they act.

Bill Childs had the definition of a “mine tipple” pretty close to right”. I spent some time diggin around and found on “Dictionary.com” the following:
Source: The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.
“a. An apparatus for unloading freight cars by tipping them.”
“b. The place where this is done.”
“2. A place for screening coal and loading it into trucks or railroad cars.”
Source: Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, (c) 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.
“An Apparatus by which loaded cars are emptied by tipping; also, the place where such tipping is done.”
Techteach,
Oh, they sound so sweet and prescious! I love kitty’s. Actually I love just about all the critters. Mouse surprises I could do without and snakes are iffy, especially rattlers, but we don’t have them up here in the altitudes. Black widows and brown recluses i could do without too. But all the other ones I’d adopt and hug them and love them and snuggle them up! I want to take my sister Clara’s kitten shes like 5 months old and Clara hasn’t desided on a name for her yet. Clara is gonna’ be moving and she’ll have to find a home for the kitty. It’s convincing Glenn that’s the hard part. He puts a guilt trip on me and says, “Murphy would just die if he couldn’t be the only house cat any more.” He’s 13 yrs. now. He’s Irish! Red & white Tabby with green eyes. Carl gave him the middle name of Gus. So I call him McMurphy O’Gus, yeah, he’s Irish! Now Carl is on the phone so I’ll close for now. We’re, kind of off track here, well maybe not, mice and cemetaries! Love & Light, Lynella. 😀
Can you send me those images again, Cindy? They’ve been lost in the shuffle. Sorry about that. It’s still ironic that you’ve posted pictures of your family in threads about mine, twice. Bill, do you think maybe you could do a lookup on my Potter sideline? Thomas Potter, married to Regina Sievers in the 40’s. They lived in the southeast suburbs of Chicago. He died in the 50’s while still a young man, probably in his 30’s. She died about 1960 in a car wreck, leaving two kids, Sandy and Tommy.
Hey, Kerry,
I’m glad you cleared up that whole tipple thing. It drove me batty all weekend. So much for Webster’s, I’ll have to get me a new dictionary. Now if we could find history on the naming of the Enos Mine and The Blackfoot Mine.
What do you think about the burial mound info? I think we need a lot of looking at that.
Did you check out that awsome list of names that Techteach put on here? We have a lot of names in there, now I have to check dates and see if they jive with anyones actual family lines.
Vance started a thread in the History Forum about the Eno Indians, I think that’s a good place to check into some stuff too.
Do you have the photgraphs of the Cemetary and stuff? That would be cool!:cool: I spent the evening checking out Native American Art, trying to find something tangible in that area. Boy, it’s tuff!
Did you read all of Linda’s research on the Occaneechie. Man, my meds are kicking in, I’m not sure if I spelled that right. I appologize to everyone if I didn’t. Well, you take care. Love & Light, Lynella.:)
Tahcaska,
I rather gathered that, in this case, tipple meant the pile of debris left when dumping the cars over. However, it confused me when some sites talked of people being tipple foremen.
Techteach
Techteach —
I’ll try go get what I have about my McClain’s. Might take a while, tho.
Thanks forthe Blackfoot Cemetary info. There was a “Ritchey” there from a very early date. I wonder if I am related to her. thanks.
Lynella,
Great Aunt Annie lived to be 104 years old, so getting left by the river didn’t hurt her very much. And she was an adult when she was forgotten by the river (not a child), the wife of one of those Kinder boys — I think her husband was Luther Kinder but I ought to look it up to be sure. I bet every time they argued about anything that came up . . . Mom’s poor ol’ Uncle Luther, I don’t think he was ever allowed to forget that.

Vance,
Thanks, but I ought to warn you that Nancy is the unknown entity that everyone on this forum has when they run into the native part. I have no information on her. I have, however, convinced the genealogists in the family that I have exchanged information with that Nancy is related to Deb’s McClellen who married the brother of Nancy’s husband. Bill also found a McCallum who I think is also related, as her son, Andrew Huston and his family, end up in Iowa in the same place. They all come from PA and/or Ohio. In sum, I have no idea who Nancy’s parents were.
Techteach
Vance, 😀
I just love that story! I’m giggling about it now. Yep, that poor Kinder fella! Love & Light, Lynella.
Thanks, but I ought to warn you that Nancy is the unknown entity that everyone on this forum has when they run into the native part.
Cindy, uh, did you, like, leave out a word or something in that sentence? I can’t make head or tail of it. Am I missing something? 🙂
Naw, Linda, I just expect people to read my mind.
What I wanted to convey to Vance is that if he was looking up McLane information for me, Nancy Agnes McLane’s parentage is not known, so making connections with her is likely to be difficult. Everyone here has one of those types. They just seem to appear and you can’t follow their lines. One source even says Nancy was an orphan. Yet, I wanted Vance to know that I had a Blackfoot McLane, as he has McLains in his family.
Cindy
