Dear Eva,

thank you for your offer, I am afraid, it will take too much time, till I start to write a good-old-letter...I know myself....
would it be okay for you to write emails ??
My adress: CaroWiggins@aol.com

I´m looking forward to receiving post from you soon.

Re: Willie Savannah Fife of Baskin, Louisiana

CaroWiggins — 2009-10-27 21:24:41Z

Dear Eva, hi, I´s Caroline from Germany - right now I saw
that you wrote me a note - sorry, I haven´t seen it before...thank you for writing to me...

I have the same problem as you - I also always thought,
there is soooo much time to ask - and then nobody is there anymore, no answers to my questions....
I saw pictures on Ancestry.com from Willie and John Wesley -
so they were also my great-grand-parents.

Oh - are you Eva Hickman ??

I already found a cousin and a wife of another cousin -
one of them wrote me, I should write to Eva Hickman -they
said, she knows alot...

Well, today it´s already very late - hope to hear from
you soon, than I will write a long mail (if you want me
to...)

Have a nice day
Caroline

Re: Willie Savannah Fife of Baskin, Louisiana

Eva498 — 2009-09-16 03:02:31Z

Hi Caroline,
I am Eva, Willie & John Wesley Sisk are my 2G-Grandparents, my grandfather told me back in the late 1970s that I looked exactly like his 1/2 sister, except that my eyes were blue like his. He stated that she was full-blooded Cherokee, at that time I always thought I would get to talk to him about it later since he was only visiting the area for a short time period. So being a teenager I thought I had all the time in the world to get more information from him. He died before I could ask him again about his half sister, I have no idea what her name was. So far I do not have a "Documented American Indian" just that the physical description listed by others indicate that there were several in the family, some say there is also Creek Indian as well. Would love to exchange information with you.

Re: Willie Savannah Fife of Baskin, Louisiana

CaroWiggins — 2009-09-06 20:48:35Z

Dear Virginia,

hi, I´m Caroline from Germany (sorry, if my English is not
very good) - I started a little search on Ancestry about
one year ago, had a big break and today I thought about
starting again and I found your post from 2004.
You wrote, you have a Fife book - well, Willie Fife/Sisk
had a few children, one of them was Rosie - the mother of
my father Clyde Edward Wiggins. He left the States when he
was a boy and he had not much contact to his family anymore.
He died when I was 17 - now I´m 45 and I got so many
questions about his family, but most of his sisters and
brothers also died, there are two half-sisters, but they
where too small when he left, they can´t remember him.
Maybe you would like to get in touch with me....maybe you
could answer me a question - when we were kids, he told
us about himself beeing part Choctaw - I think he said,
his grandmother or his greatgrandmother has been a Chowtaw-
Indian. Do you know anything about this ??
Well, I would really love to get a mail from you - tell me
about you and your life.
By the way - I got 5 children (one of them a foster-son),
and my youngest one, the only daughter, is called
Linda Virginia - I just love this name...
Many greetings from Germany - Bavaria
Caroline

Another site was the Binghams of Bingham County, Idaho. From these I have Alexander 1680 m. Elizabeth Temple 17 Dec 1706 then back to Alexander 1643 who m. Margarte Partterson and Janet Hall.

Mississippi Fife connections

RebeccaCarraway — 2008-07-19 17:18:19Z

I'm newly researching my Fife ancestors in Claiborne County, Mississippi. Isaac Fife is mentioned in Spanish/British land grant info from c. 1790s, around Bayou Pierre (Chubby Branch). Any add'l info would be appreciated. Farris Andrew Fife married a Dewilda Inda/Dewilder/Dewildia Porter, who is buried at Sarepta Cemetery in Mississippi. I'd also like info on her, as I can't find anything before her. "Family lore" is that her family came to Mississippi from Kentucky when she was a baby. Thanks.

Re: Looking for Fife Famly Members

Hi Cheri,

I am researching a Fife-Keys marriage that took place in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland around 1744. I believe that the Keys family may have moved from Tyrone to Fermanagh, so perhaps the Fife family was also in Tyrone.

Sincerely,
Roy Keys

Anna M. Fife & John Gilmour

BAFletcher54 — 2007-12-18 00:31:19Z

A couple of cousins and I are working on our Fife-Gilmour genealogy and are trying to find any information on Anna M. Fife born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, in 1838 or 1840, who came to the U.S. in 1847/48. She married John Gilmour in 1865/66 in New York City. He was born in Londonderry too in 1842 or 1846 and came to the U.S. in 1861 or 1863. Anna and John had seven children: Emily Jane b. 1867, Wesley G. b. 1869, Sarah b. 1870, Alfred C. b. 1872, Benjamin Roberts b. 1873, Augusta b. 1878, and James Garfield b. 1880. We're especially interested in information on Anna's parents (E. Fife and Anna Lloyd) and John's parents (possibly Alexander Gilmour and Jane Glenn) but wouldn't mind having additional information on their descendants as well.

Re: Fife lineage (Creek with Seminole adoption) Looking for Birth Father and Mother for Dorsey Fife

sjmtexas — 2008-02-21 03:08:16Z

Tammy,

I have a Benjamin Fife b. about 1840 married to Rachel Fields (daughter of Rider Fields) and living in Creek Nation Concharty town after the Civil War. There is also a Stephen Fife married to a granddaughter of Rider Fields named Ellen Bruner in the same general era. Benjamin is shown on 1882 Concharty town census. Ellen is shown on this census(but not Stephen) remarried, but with a daughter Nancy Fife.

Either of these could create your Creek link, as most descendents of Rider Fields intermarried into Creek bloodlines even though he was actually Cherokee.

Please respond if you think there is a link.

I am from the Fife line and I've seen in my limited research the name spelled Fife and Fifi. Most are from the 2 Ward, St John the Baptist Parish. Some of the first names are:
Francois (1820)
Felicie (1825) wife if Francois
Matilde (1865)

Charles, Celestine (9 year old granddaughter)
Celeste (I believe her mother had the surname Pierre, and Father was Leopold or Leobob Fife)
