Looking for my family

jimmersonbsw — 2009-11-13 03:47:13Z

I have just recently started researching my family history since my GGM passed away. There was an old legend she used to tell that I wanted to prove or disprove. Instead, I ended up finding out that I have a LOT of family out there. I would really like to connect with other descendants of the Shows line. I assume I am part of Cornelius's line because I spent every Thanksgiving as a child in Jones Cty, Mississippi. My GGM was Mildred Cole Shows. I don't know her husband's name, he passed before I was born. My grandfather is FC Shows, and he has a sister named Linda and had a brother that we always called "Sonny." I have no idea what his real name was.

I have been looking for printed information or a family tree to help me figure out how we are connected and most of the links on this message board no longer work. If there is anyone out there who can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

My records indicate Wanda Josephine Shows married Bobby Fife. Wanda's parents were Albert Monroe Shows and Mattie Mae Meadows. Albert's parents were Pascal Monroe Shows and Alma Fortenberry. Unfortunately I did not record my source for this information but maybe it will point in the right direction.
Hope this helps!

charlottediane — 2008-01-02 22:07:33Z

I see that you are related through Cornelius Holmes Shows Jr. & Elizabeth Sumrall. Perhaps you can help me. One of their daughters was Mary Jane Shows, who married Joseph Josiah Beech and had several children. Joseph's brother was my great-grandfather. I have seen information on a Family Tree at Ancestry that says that Mary Jane's sister Martha was also married to Joseph Josiah (Siah?) Thing is, they were concurrent. One didn't die and he married her sister, they both had children by him during the same time period. I found Martha in a census as Martha Shows with her children, listed as Shows, and her mother Elizabeth Shows. The next census, I found two of the boys who were still living listed as Beech. Any knowledge of this?? Surprises me a little since Mary Jane and Martha were sisters, but Aaron had 2 children by another woman and his wife (my Granny Beech) cared for them a while. Then he left Granny Beech and he & the "other woman" & their children moved about 75 miles away and changed their names! Before he died, he contacted some of his children, so my family knows the story and where they were. Another interesting thing is that Martha was buried at the Primitive Baptist Church cemetery that's about 3 miles (south?) out of Ellisville. That's where Joseph's mother Sallie Parker Beech & his sister & brother-in-law are buried! Joseph & Mary Jane are buried at Pilgrim Cemetery, I've been told.
Would like any information you could share.

Re: Adam SHOWS - MS to TX - 1800's - married N. GRANBERRY

Marvel_Wickstrom — 2007-11-25 00:29:36Z

Hi - Adam Shows and Nancy Granberry had a son, named Adam Jasper Shows. Adam Jasper had a son named Barney Ernest Shows. Barney Ernest Shows was my grandfather. I don't know of any family bibles around as most of my old relatives are long passed away. Are you related?

Newsom Shows Jr and others in the family

rhenish5 — 2006-08-04 17:30:14Z

I have found several old photos of Newsom Jr and siblings, as well as tons of his time in the war. Of course most of them do not identify anyone. I'm making educated guesses based on family resemblence. Anyway, is there anyone interested in copies of them? Over the next year (I'm being realistic here because in a perfect world it would be a couple of weeks but I have a 6 year old and school is beginning in two weeks, so it'll be a year) I'm going to scan all of these pictures, so I can either mail a copy of the disk when I'm done, or attach it as a file (if I develop the computer savy to do so) . Also I need help identifying people. I can pick out Newsom Jr, but his sisters and brothers get kind of iffy. Plus I think I have photos of family from Norval's time god help me there.

I know for a fact I have photos of your daddy and mother (I'm assuming your momma is/was aunt Vesta). I'd be thrilled to have your assistance. My momma remembers her uncle John R. Please e-mail me at rhenish5@yahoo.com

I am hoping to exchange information with descendants of Adam SHOWS (born 1823 MS / died 1890 TX) and his wife Nancy GRANBERRY Shows (born 1829 MS / died 1867 TX). I have heard of at least TWO old Bibles where this family is mentioned but after much effort am still searching for them. Please get in touch!

Martha Shows/Charles (Charley) Busby

2005-08-07 21:39:59Z

Does anyone have any information on Martha Shows who married Charles (Charley) Busby on 28 Jun 1900 in Wayne Co, MS? I believe Charles was born 1875 and first married Maggie Watson. I would like to know when Charles died, where buried, and all the information you have on Martha Shows. Your help would be appreciated.

I have a copy of James' obituary, he passed away in May 2004, Petal, Ms, buried Morriston Cemetery, and was proceeded in death by his father, Lester D Shows. I can not find either of them in my Shows Family history. Lester was born Dec-6-1910 and died Sept 1988 according to the SSDI. If anyone has information about this family, and how they connect please contact me. My email address is DShows2@BellSouth.net. Thanks

inquiry and I are kin. Can you give me the name of some of
his ancestors.Mr great great great grandfather John Shows
Sr was born about 1764. he fought in the revolutionary war,
moved to Georgia, then to Jones County, Mississippi where
he died about 1842. His grandson Adam Shows lived in
Jackson Parish, Louisiana 1n 1850. He moved to DeWitt
County, Texas about 1860. I am trying to find information on
his father John Shows Jr. and some of Adam's brothers. I
know William Shows, Thomas Shows John Shows. These
sons of John Shows Jr were born in the 1820's and 1830's.
