Where Do I Begin??
I was born in Jefferson Co. New York, but now I realize that was not my beginning. I became interested in Genealogy as a teenager. I would listen to all the older family members as they would talk of their youth. I found this to be so fascinating I could sit for hours and listen. My grandmother Vincent for one then Flora King, Helen Holliday, & Nancy Dixon just to name a few others.
As I grew up and married, had children of my own there was little time for listening to any stories but the little one's that they told.
Then one day I found that they also had grown up and I was the one telling stories. And I thought they will never remember all that I can tell them. So I began to gather in all that I could and write it down so in time it would not be lost or forgotten.
I thought at first this won't take long. I will be able to complete this soon enough.
I have now found after years of search and research that my work with genealogy will never be completed. There will always be a mystery person waiting somewhere to be found and added to my growing tree now filled with lots of golden leaves. I can't think of anything that has caught my interest as much as finding all the people who helped make me who I am today. And finding a LOVE for people I can only get to know Thu a picture, a letter, a diary entry or even an obit. Once you start to search you can never stop.

Charles Victor Halliday and his bride Isabelle Mae Bamford. They were married Feburary 12, 1884.

I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me to do this web site. I want to send a special THANK YOU to Jennifer Wylie. She is the host of The Islands A web site dedicated to the people and descendants of Wolfe Island,Ont, Canada. Without her HELP and e-mails this site would not have been.
Special THANK YOU to those who have sent me articles or have given permission to use some of their work.

Why have a Moye Reunion 2013
Several years ago Donald Moye, a grandson of James Henry Moye, son of Richard and Lucinda, held Moye Reunions in Georgia and Florida . Due to health issues, the reunions stopped.
Some of Richard and Lucindas children lived in or around the De Soto and Hardee Counties of Florida ; a lot are buried in the area, as well as Lucinda. Therefore, what better place to kick-off our family reunion than Ona , Florida ?
Randall, Ronnie, and Mark Moye graciously offered their Moye Barn for 2013 Moye Family Reunion. Randall, Ronnie, and Mark Moye are connected through George and Amelia Bratcher Moye. George Moye son of Richard and Lucinda

I guess this also could be called my wish list. I have stories and pictures of Marietta Holley who was a famous author from Jefferson Co. and my sister has some of the buttons from a dress of hers that a niece of hers gave my mother once. I would like to add a section on famous people and noted things from Jefferson Co. My family at one time were caretakers in the Brown Mansion in Brownville, my aunts first husband was a Fillmore and a descendant of President Fillmore. At one time she owned a Tyler coverlet which was donated to a museum.I have tons of old pictures,diaries,poems,Wills to name a few things to add. If I could make one wish it would be for someone to help with the transcribing of some of these things it does take a lot of time.If you have anything to add let me know and I will add it.

The power of God protects me;
The presence of God watches
