Paternal Ancestors Listed on DAR site

Spent a little bit of today checking my ancestors to see if any of the Revolutionary War Ancestors were listed on the Daughters of the American Revolution site.  I knew I had "old" blood as I know all of my GGG Grandparents were in America before the Revolution(with the exception of the Cook line which I only have back to early 1800s)  I have finished checking lineage through my paternal lines and I have 7 lines I could use for membership.  The easiest to prove would be my lineage to Nathan Frizzel/Frissel.  Someone has already proven this line to my Gr Gr Grandparents.  I have my Great Grandmother's Death Cert. which has their names on it. as well as census info showing her in their household listed as their daughter.  Interesting and I may try this some time down the road.

So far these are the Rev. War Ancestors from Dad's side

• Nathan Frissell Ancestor  # A042773(4th Great Grandfather)
• Charles Brandon Ancestor  # A204962(5th Great Grandfather)
• Leroy Upshaw Ancestor # A118102(5th Great Grandfather)
• William Ogilvie Ancestor # A085795(5th Great Grandfather)
• John Manire Ancestor # A073376(4th Great Grandfather)
• Edward Richards Ancestor # A095838 (5th Great Grandfather)
• Jacob Sutton Ancestor # A111305 (4th Great Grandfather)
• James Knox Sr.  Ancestor #:A067072(5th Great Grandfather)

Thank You,  Grandma Cooke for gluing the envelopes in your scrapbooks.    This helped me to determine where you lived at different times by checking the postmark and address.  Also a big thank you for thinking that in front of the house was the best place to have a picture taken.

Talking with a friend earlier I realized that while I had the 1940 Census Entry for Conway Twitty(Harold Jenkins) that I did not have Loretta Lynn's 1940 Census entry......and so I searched and found...

1940 Census entry for 7 yr old Loretta Lynn who was born Loretta Webb.
Shown here in Johnson Co KY Magistrate Dist. 2 Butcher Hollow with her parents Melvin & Clara.

Lefty Frizzell in 1940 Union Co Arkansas

The following snippet of the 1940 census shows William Orville Frizzell living in the household of his parents in Union Co Arkansas's El Dorado Township. He was my Dad's 5th cousin thru Dad's double Frizzell line.

They shared common GGGG Grandparents: Nathan Frizzell & Margaret Deason. For those interested...he was born in Corsicana, TX and not Saginaw, Michigan. 😉 You can find his birth certificate at FamilySearch.org as well as the corrected birth certificate from the same day which corrects birth time from 12:35 to 12:30 and lists the city along with the county of birth.
