Seeking info on family of Independence Neighbors

myfamily4911 — 2009-05-15 01:46:00Z

I believe Independence Neighbors was married to Laura L. Byers, daughter of John C. Byers and Massey Akin.

Independence and Laura had 5 known children:
1. Laura Pearl Neighbors md. Willie Pope Fielding; children: daughter Albertie and sons Jodie, Ernest and Willie
2. John Albert Neighbors
3. William Neighbors
4. James Ira Neighbors
5. Nettie Neighbors md. George Green

I found a death certificate for James Ira Neighbors but it only lists his father, Independence Neighbors. Laura Neighbors is listed on the 1910 Navarro Co., TX census living with James Ira and Laura Pearl Neighbors Fielding.

In 1900, Independence was living in Rains Co., TX and listed as Widowed on census. His wife Laura is also listed as Widowed on the 1900 Little River Co., AR census but in 1910 she is listed as Married 36 years with no husband listed.

Any help with this family will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michelle

F. Newton Neighbors

terrisclean — 2009-04-10 14:48:50Z

I am looking for information on the parents F. Newton Neighbors, born around 1820-1825 in either North or South Carolina. He is listed on the 1850 census in Talladega, Co., AL as No. Car. as his birthplace. He living next door to John Neighbors, born in So. Car., who I believe may be his father. Newton married Susan Ann Gurley in Talladega Co. in 1848. They were living in Calhoun Co., AL in 1870, his birthplace listed as No. Car., and were living in Clay Co., AL in 1870, birthplace listed as So. Car. I can find no further documentation after 1870 on either Newton or Susan. Newton and Susan had the following children:
James A. b. abt 1848 in Ala
John R. b. 1850 in Talladega Co., AL
Asberry or Asbury J. b. abt 1855, AL
William James b. 12 Apr 1857, AL (my gg grandfather)
George b. 1859 prob Calhoun Co., AL
Luther b. 1862, Alabama (Calhoun or Clay Co.)
L.M. (male child) b. abt 1869 Prob. Clay Co., AL

At least five of these sons (James A., John R., William J., George, and Luther, moved to Amity, Clark Co., Arkansas around 1880, and were all listed on the 1880 census there. William J.'s first child, Marion Hixson Neighbors was born in Alabama in 1879, so they must have just made it to Arkansas right before the 1880 census was taken. William James was killed when he hit a gas pocket while digging a well in 1882, and his widow returned to Clay Co., AL with his three children shortly after.

Any information that anyone can share on these Neighbors would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Any interest in DNA testing for the Neighbors/Nabors/Nabers surname?

hneighbors — 2009-02-03 21:24:48Z

Yes I may be interested in a DNA project if its not too costly. My bloodline is to Nathan Neighbors, Warren Co. KY.

Any interest in DNA testing for the Neighbors/Nabors/Nabers surname?

glasswd — 2009-02-02 05:26:13Z

A number of y-dna surname projects have proven to be very valuable to genealogy researchers. Is there any interest in starting a project for tne various spellings of the Nabors surname? Only males who have a direct paternal lineage to a Nabors ancestor (by any spelling) can submit y-dna samples for such a study. My wife's mother is a Nabers so she can't submit dna, but she could get one of her male cousins to participate. It might just help us solve the mystery of exactly which or how many lines of Nabers descend from Abraham Neighbours, 1684-1798, (wife Rebecca) who is believed to be the first ancestor by that name in the US.
Any interest out there in starting a new project?

Lindsey Ellis Neighbors

LindaWooldridge46 — 2009-01-07 23:08:25Z

I have run into a wall when searching. The earliest record I can find of my grandfather is the 1900 Federal census from Indian Territory Oklahoma and I find that his name and that of his brother and two sisters is incorrect. He is the step-son of Joseph Nevill. The name is listed as Lemuel Nabors but we know that is my grandfather, Lindsey Ellis Neighbors. His brother was Jesse and his sisters were Mary and Trudy. His Mother was Ida Stewig (I think) Neighbors Nevill and half siblings are John, Thomas and Maude. I believe his father's name was Robert Lee Neighbors and he died around 1895. If anyone can route me to more records, I would appreciate it. Linda Neighbors Wooldridge

Obit: Robert Neighbors of IA and MO (1927-2008)

pbbut — 2008-06-28 21:55:45Z

Robert Eugene Neighbors, son of Hobart and Gladys (Wright) Neighbors, was born May 21, 1927, in Livonia, Missouri. He attended elementary school in Missouri, and then his family moved to Grinnell, Iowa, where he finished high school. Bob attended Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, before being drafted into service with the United States Navy during WWII. After serving his country, he received a degree in education from Grinnell College. Bob later earned a Master’s Degree from Drake University in Des Moines.
In 1954 Bob was united in marriage to Madelon Hill in Grinnell, Iowa. To this union a daughter, Linda Ann, was born. They made their home in eastern Iowa where Bob taught history at various high schools in the area, including Montezuma, Bettendorf, and Muscatine. He also coached baseball and basketball at the high school level. After receiving his administrative endorsement, Bob served as high school principal at Bellevue High School in Bellevue, IA. Madelon passed away in February 1964.
On July 2, 1966, Bob was married to Lois Stoehr in Potsdam, Minnesota. They moved to Emmetsburg in 1967 where two children, a daughter Andrea Sue and a son Steven Paul, joined the family. Bob was employed as the high school guidance counselor at Emmetsburg High School. He later went to work at Emmetsburg Junior College, which consolidated with Estherville to become Iowa Lakes Community College. Bob served as Director of Financial Aid and Admissions for over thirty years before his retirement.

Bob was an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Emmetsburg where he served on numerous boards and committees. He was also instrumental in the development of the Kiwanis organization in Emmetsburg. In addition to these leadership positions, Bob served on the planning and zoning committee for the city of Emmetsburg and was a member of the board for Kathleen’s Residential Care Facility in Emmetsburg. Bob loved all types of sports, in particular baseball and basketball. He enjoyed playing golf, and he was an avid reader. Bob loved all animals, but especially dogs. His grandchildren were the joy of his life, and he cherished the time he spent with them.

Bob died Friday, June 27, 2008, at the Palo Alto County Hospital in Emmetsburg. He was 81 years of age. He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Madelon; and a brother, Howard.

Is there proof anywhere of our Neighbors family in France or Ireland?

Re: Neighbors/Ledford

2006-10-25 18:39:04Z

A lot of this imformation may have come from books published my my sister, Reba Neigbors Collins. She published several books over about thirty years before her death last year at 80 years of age.

Much of this information has been placed in the files of the Mormon Church in Utah and can be downloaded from their Family History system.

Re: Neighbors/Ledford

2006-10-25 18:35:00Z

Sounds like the same family. Most of my family moved from Tennessee to Oklahoma around 1902 and Many of the family still get together in a reunion in Oklahoma. It meets at the corporate headquarters of Neighbors Coffee company. Some of Bud Neighbors sons and grandsons are still in the business.

Re: Neighbors/Ledford

Re: Descendents of Rev. William Andrew Neighbors of Arkansas

I am brand new to this but I think we may be related... My Fraternal Grandfather is William Andrew Neighbors from Arkansas however he was born 02-04-1893. I am only sure he is from Arkansas, he married Lillie Ann Mayberry also from Arkansas, their children were, William Andrew Neighbors Jr. (my father), Roy Eugene Neighbors, Betty Neighbors, Ruth Ann Neighbors, James Earl Neighbors. My grandfather William SR. died in Sabastian County Arkansas 10-06-1951. If any of this fits in anywhere in your searches please let me know. William Sr. also was 5'4" slender build and had blue eyes.

James L Neighborn/Rutha Jane Trapp

mdvanhuss — 2007-07-12 23:23:40Z

I am interested in finding descendants of this couple to fill in a large blank space in my Trapp genealogy.

James L Neighbors, born 15 Oct 1849 in Hot Springs, Arkansas and Rutha Jane Trapp, born 15 Jan 1859 in Arkansas, were married - date unknown

James died 17 Oct 1917 in Hot Springs and is buried there. Rutha Jane died in August 1937 and is also buried in Hot Springs. I believe they were divorced.

They had the following known children:
Sarah Neighbors, born 1879 - may have married a Jack Felphs
William A Neighbors, born 1878, married 6 Apr 1908 to a Laura B Turner
Pleasant A Neighbors, born Nov 1881
Mack Neighbors, born Dec 1888
Hannah C Neighbors, born Mar 1884, may have married an Eckman and a McLean
Rebecca A Neighbors, born Feb 1887
Barbara E Neighbors, born Jan 1892
Jesse Arthur Neighbors, born 21 Jul 1896

All these children were born in Arkansas - but several of them ended up in California.

Any information on the family would be appreciated.

And I second the question posted by another - are the books still available? If they are not for sale, do you (or anyone else) have copies that coupld be photocopied? I would be happy to pay the cost!

Nabours un Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma

vamom1 — 2006-11-30 19:54:37Z

My G. G. Grandmother, Ellen L. Nabours was born in Alabama on 28 June 1842. She married James W. Fowler on March 11, 1857 in Madison County, Alabama. James died in Chatenooga Tennesse (died of disese while participating in civil war)on April 17, 1863. The 1860 census lists a child, J. E. Fowler age 1. I am unable to find Ellen and any family in 1870.
On January 31 1876 she married P. G. Simpson. An R.E. Nabours put his seal on the marriage certificate. Joseph Green Simpson was born on February 11, 1877. By the 1880 census she is a widow living in Hardin, Faulkner County, Arkansas. She was living with James R. Fowler (age 18) and Joseph Simpson (age 3). James Fowler marries Cynthia Wooly on December 17, 1882 in Faulkner County, Arkansas. They had several children.

I found a marriage licence for Henry Hall and Ellen Simpson as of August 21, 1880 but the marriage was not performed. However Ellen Hall is living with Joseph Simpson (he married Rosia Watson) and his family in the 1900 census in Chickesaw Nation, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). in In 1910 she is still living with Joseph and family in Clay County, Texas. She died in Burkburnett, Wichita County, Texas on November 20, 1920.

On the 1900 and 1910 census she says her Father was born in South Carolina and her Mother in Alabama and that she had borne 4 children and 2 were still living.

I am looking for other decendents and any ancestors of Ellen.

Hi, I think we may be related. My father was Robert Lamar Neighbor son of Joseph Neighbor, son of Augustus Neighbor who's mother was named Bena from Hesse Germany, immigrated to US about 1840. I believe Augustus' father was William Neighbar/Neighbor also from Hesse born in 1816/17.

According to the Fed Census of 1860 they lived in Washington Township, Daviess County, Indiana.

Hi again Paul - Thank you so much for passing my name onto Fred for the reunion info. I am so sorry to hear about your sister Reba passing away last year! From the looks of it, she must have been a wealth of information on the family. I think we would have really enjoyed meeting her. I think she may have been in touch with my husband's grandmother, Bernice Parker, several years ago. Bernice is in her 90's now but has spoken of a woman who supplied her with a lot of information on the Neighbors end of the family. Bernice's Mother was Birdie Bell Neighbors(Birdie Bell Neighbors, William Bud Marcus Neighbors, John Ledford Monroe Neighbors JR). I look forward to comparing notes sometime with you. What are the titles of the books that Reba wrote? Are there still any copies available by any chance? Thank you so much for your help! Andrea

Re: MALINDA GARRETT NEIGHBORS

Lusefuse — 2007-02-05 07:52:48Z

According to the 1860 census, Malinda (Neighbors) Highfill and her husband Jeremiah Highfill lived in Jackson, Dallas County, Missouri with their seven children and two members of the Neighbors family. All of their children except the last one was born in Tennessee, meaning that they could possibly have married in Tennessee. Here is the entire household as listed on the 1860 census:

Jeremiah HIGHFILL, 58, head of house, farmer
Born: About 1802, North Carolina
Malinda (NEIGHBORS) HIGHFILL, 39, wife
Born: About 1821, Kentucky
Artemissa HIGHFILL, 18, daughter
Born: About 1842, Tennessee
Jasper HIGHFILL, 16, son
Born: About 1844, Tennessee
Emily HIGHFILL, 13, daughter
Born: About 1847, Tennessee
James H. HIGHFILL, 8, son
Born: About 1852, Tennessee
Martha HIGHFILL, 5, daughter
Born: About 1855, Tennessee
Henry G. HIGHFILL, 3, son
Born: About 1857, Tennessee
Matilda HIGHFILL, 1 daughter
Born: About 1859, Missouri
Sela NEIGHBORS, 13 step daughter or sister-in-law
Born: About 1847, Tennessee
Jesse A. NEIGHBORS, 9 step son or brother-in-law

Notice the abnormal pattern in the birth of the children. I believe that Jeremiah HIGHFILL was married to someone else who bore his first three children, Artissema, Jasper, and Emily. Sela and Jesse were born out of wedlock to Malinda NEIGHBORS, who then married a divorced or widowered Jeremiah HIGHFILL by whom she bore James H., Martha, Henry G., and Matilda.

I hope this helps,
Dave Neighbors
