Topic 3:  Hembree Ancestral Home For Sale

I see that "St. Nicholas Abbey" in St. Peter, Barbados, built in the 1650s, is on the market again. They're only asking $7 million. But it's just got 7 bedrooms. The way I look at it, that's a million a bedroom. I know there's much more, but that's just too steep for me right now. Maybe some Hembree descendants could talk them down just a bit. It would be nice if some cousin would buy it and keep it in the family. And let all of us come visit on vacation.

http://www.primelocation.com/international-property/browse/all/sales/caribbean/barbados/SGlo169536/ 

This is the line or the supposed line to Old John Hembree:

1. Col. Benjamin Berringer b. c1611-20, d. 1659-61 at St. Nicholas Abbey, St. Peter, Barbados, West Indies + Margaret Foster (Forster, Forester) who m.2 sir John Yeamans, baronet (later Gov. of S.C.)

2. Margaret Berringer b c1659 d 17 June 1720 S.C. + James Moore b. 1640 in Ireland, Governor of S.C.

3. Col. John Moore b. c1680/88-1729 + wife (mother of Chief Wauhatchee/Warhatchie of the Keowee tribe)

4. Mary Moore b. c1721

+1 Thomas Ayers, Indian agent

+2 John Amory from England, bur at Charleston, S.C.

5. Old John Hembree b. 1744 Perrysburg, S.C.

Like so much of Native American genealogy, the lack of records means a lack of proof for the parents of Mary Moore Ayers Hembree, the half-breed. Piecing the line together from various postings and gedcoms on the Internet, there are two other possible versions of the lineage (who knows which is right):

3. Col. John Moore b. c1680/88-1729 + Keowee wife

4. James Moore b. c1700 + Keowee wife

5. Mary Moore b. c1721

+1 Thomas Ayers, Indian agent

+2 John Amory from England, bur at Charleston, S.C.

6. Old John Hembree b. 1744 Perrysburg, S.C.

And another:

2. Margaret Berringer + Governor James Moore I

3. Governor James Moore II (1702 - 1772) + Keowee wife

4. Mary Moore b. c1721

+1 Thomas Ayers, Indian agent

+2 John Amory from England, bur at Charleston, S.C.

5. Old John Hembree b. 1744 Perrysburg, S.C.

(I hope I have that right; maybe not. Corrections, please)

"A CRANE'S FOOT"- or Pedigree of the Gregg, Stuart, Robertson, Dobbs and Allied Families: by E. Stuart Gregg, Jr., publ. by the R.L. Bryan Co., Columbia, SC 1975, is said to give Governor Moore's ancestry. A researcher stated on the Internet: "In The Dictionary of American Biography, Vol. XIII Page 127, it states that James Moore married Margaret Berrien (SIC)*, the daughter of Lady Yeamans, and the step-daughter of Sir John Yeamans."

Topic 5:  Erica Hembree Wins Miss Congeniality Award 

Sunday, October 9, 2005

By REGAN LOYOLA HUNEYCUTT

The Leaf-Chronicle, Clarksville, Tennessee

Shelbyville’s Lauren Grissom is the 2006 Miss Tennessee USA.

Sixty-five women from across the state came to Austin Peay State University’s Music Mass Communication building concert hall for the competition Saturday.

The pageant, which was sold out, included an evening gown and swimwear competition, and the top five participants had to answer a question they pulled from a fish bowl. The questions were written by fellow contestants.

In addition to Grissom, the top 15 included Andrea Greenway, Katie Hoppel, Stephanie Watson, Randi Armour, Hailey Brown, Stephanie Allison, Jennifer Scott, Leah Watson, Karmen Cordell, Lauren Lowrey, Casey Porter, Erin Thacker, Britney Petway and Jenny Buffington.

Porter of Rock Island was the first runner-up, and Brown of Williamson County was second runner-up.

The third runner-up was Cordell, and the fourth runner-up was Stephanie Watson.

The Miss Congeniality award was given to Erica Hembree, and Ashley Widener was named Most Photogenic.

Jennifer Scott was given the People’s Choice Award, which was determined by audience members’ votes.

Pageant Executive Director Kim Greenwood, a former Miss Tennessee, applauded the contestants for their hard work and determination.

INSPIRATIONAL CORNER:  Paul Harvey and Prayer

INSPIRATIONAL CORNER: Man In Need Of Prayer

This is a prayer request for a man in need of prayer.

Please, take a moment and pray for this man.  He is in a situation that few people find themselves.  He is criticized at every turn, and few people have thanked him for the good things he has done. Few people know the extent of his situation.  We need to pray that God gives him the guidance he needs to do his job effectively.  I have attached a photo of this man.  Look at it.  Most of you will recognize him.  Please pray for him.

I am sure that he will appreciate all your prayers.  If you were facing what he is facing, you'd want people praying for you!

Thanks!

A Little Humor:  The Pledge & The National Anthem

 A deacon at the Assembly of God was being bothered by one of those religious groups that are known for going door-to-door in the community. This particular religious group had been bothering this man quite frequently. This man was a sincere Christian and he was also a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps.

He didn't know what to do, so he went to his pastor and said, "How can I get rid of these people?" The pastor said, "Well, I know these people. They don't believe in saluting the flag. They don't believe in singing the National Anthem. So the next time they come, you just make them pledge allegiance to the flag and sing the National Anthem, and they will go away and leave you alone."

Well this ex-marine got upset. He said, "You mean to tell me they will not salute our flag, and they will not sing the National Anthem of the country I fought for?" He said, "I will take care of them."

He went out and found the biggest U.S. flag he could find and put it on the wall of his home. He found a copy of the National Anthem and taught his family every verse. He thought to himself, "I will be ready for them next time."

Well he looked out one morning, and sure enough here came a little old lady across the yard with a satchel. He thought to himself, "I'm going to fix you once and for all." Before she could even knock on the door he opened it, grabbed her by the arm, brought her inside and said, "Stand right there, Maam! I want you to do something before you say a word or open your mouth in my home. First of all we are going to pledge allegiance to the flag." So here was this man, his wife, his children, and this little old lady pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Then he said, "Now, you are going to sing the National Anthem with my family, and we're going to sing all the verses." They sang all the verses to the National Anthem. She sang right along with them.

That man was so proud of himself. He said, "Now lady, how do you like that?"

She said, "I think it's wonderful! I love my country just like you do!" She said, "I will be honest with you, I've been selling Avon for twenty years and I've never had a welcome like this."
