Lajuana,

I just sent this WORD document to myself with no problems. It may not be going through the ancestry.com system because of the size. It's 22 pages long (Times New Roman with a 14 point font, so it's fairly large print).
I don't think I ever got any information on Sadie Wimberley!
I will be glad to email you this document if you will send
me your email address. Maybe I am just not attaching this
correctly to this ancestry.com "attach a file". Donna

Re: Sadie Wimberley

donnastapper1941 — 2009-10-25 03:23:23Z

Let me know if you get this OK. If not, I can send it as an attachment directly to your email, if you'll send me your email address.

Donna

Oups, for some reason, I am unable to attach this WORD file to this message board. If you will send me your email address, I'll just reply to your email with the WORD attachment. It may be that I am just too tired to figure this out tonight! It's 10:20PM and I am really tired! I saved this file on a UBS so that if anything happened to my computer, I would not lose it! My email is

Thanks,

I have a lot of history on the Wimberley family that I would be glad to share with you. I have a lot of it on Microsoft WORD. Do you have the WORD software program? If so, I can attach it an email and send it to you. They have an interesting history!

I just noticed your message about looking for Sadie. It was from a year ago but did you find out anything about her? My husbands grandmother was Sadie Wimberley married to Albert Wimberley.

Wimberly/Wimberley DNA project

middlegeorgiagenie — 2009-09-08 07:52:24Z

This is to encourage all the Wimberly/Wimberley men out there to check www.familytreedna.com and search the project for the Wimberlys. Four men have already submitted their DNA and it would be wonderful to get more participants. My mother-in-law was a Wimberley and I'd love to put some pieces together. DNA projects help!

Howdy, my newly discovered third cousin!!!!! I descend from Prudie's brother, Edward Grant.

Sorry for posting late, but I had technical difficulties. I could read your post, but couldn't post!

Your mother was Beatrice, correct? I think your mother had more siblings than that, but they might have died young -- or I have incorrect information?

Where are you, geographically? Florida? I know there are several Dees in the family, but I don't know how your father fits into that family.

I have all sorts of questions for you, and an interesting picture that you may or may not have seen. I think, emphasize think, that it is of James Riley and Prudence. If I am correct, it was taken before Louisa was born, but I bet your mother would like to see it. I would really love it if someone in your family could confirm my suspicions.

Please contact me directly at evalerieh@juno.com

If you can get a male Wimberley to participate from your Wimberley-line by Dec 31, 2008, there is special pricing on some of the DNA tests. Quite a savings. The join link is:

wrennk1 — 2008-12-28 04:01:08Z

Hi Ben.

Hopefully, BKWIMBERLY will consider participating in the Wimberly DNA project. I can prove Hezzie Wimberly's line to parents Andrew Jackson Wimberly and Sarah Adna Mills Wimberly to grandparents Zachariah Wimberly and 2nd wife Mary 'Polly' Reach/Rich Yates Wimberly. Zachariah Wimberly's first wife was Quinney Vaughan and they had quite a few children. I understand that many of that line migrated to Texas. If BKWIMBERLY is male, this would be a great addition to the DBA database.

Unfortunately, the connection from my husband to this Wimberly line is through his grandmother (a Yates) whose great grandfather was a half sibling to Andrew Jackson Wimberly through their mother, Mary 'Polly' Rich Yates Wimberly.

Wimberleys from about 1875 -- picture

2005-07-30 19:41:30Z

I have a copy of a picture from about that era. I **think** the picture contains several children of James Riley Wimberley. Would anyone have any pictures or knowledge of those children so I can learn if the children in the picture are indeed Wimberleys?

Thanks for the response, and please accept my apology for so long in answering. The Richard Essary I'm seeking was born in Bakersfield, CA. in 1948, don't know exact date. His younger brother, Ronald, was also born in Bakersfield. I think there is 8 or 10 years between them. I would love to be able to notify them of the upcoming reunion next year. Thanks again. Lois

There is a Richard L. Essary, born August 1976, in Portland, OR. One phone number listed as (503) 234-1950. I don't know how old this number may be, or if current.

Re: Wimberley Research

Hello June

I think we are NOT related, at least not very closely.

I have been looking for the ancestors of Zachariah Wimberley,
born in Wake County NC in 1787. He raised 17 children and
the 1st 12 went to Texas. I am descended from one of
those 12 - Pleasant.

I have quite a bit on the Wimberleys that are so well
documented from 1455. But I think you have all of that
already.

We are in Salt lake City at the genealogy center for a
few more days. We spend a month here each summer
but Friday is our last day to work.

Please reply to bruce@ywave.com

Thanks.

Looking for Rachel Wimberley born ca 1715 in VA or NC

runincircles — 2007-04-29 04:51:33Z

Hi all, I am searching for an ancestor of mine, Rachel Wimberley (or Wimberly), born about 1715 in either Virgina or North Carolina (Nansemond and/or Bertie Counties). Rachel married a Henry Harrell (born ca 1710, died before February 1777). I know that at least one of their children was a Rubin (Rueben) Harrell (b ca 1750--d after 1809) who married a Margaret (last name unknown).

I know that my Harrells eventually ended up in Union/Anson County, NC and married into a Marsh family.

But what I would like to find is more info on Rachel and the Wimberley family--her ancestry especially.

Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Sincerely,
Patti

sandyarmstrong156 — 2006-10-13 19:44:47Z

Looking for info to connect birth places of the whitaker family, and they are all gone now. Mamie was my grandmother's sister, please help if you can. Grandma Winnie was married to Carl Armstrong, and Melvin is my dad.

Re: Wimberley ancestry

LaurieSimoneaux84 — 2005-02-10 18:43:19Z

So very many similarities here.

My father's name is Robert Frank Wimberly. We live in Texas. His father's name was Charles Kemp Wimberly. I believe Charles' father's name was Marion. I have very little other information but would be glad to exchange what I have.
I have located Charles in the 1920 and 1930 census in East Texas Angelina and Polk Counties.

WIMBERLEY FAMILY REUNION

LoisChandler56 — 2005-06-29 23:13:29Z

I am trying to get the word out to all the descendants of George and Effie Wimberley of a family reunion. I haven't been able to notify a few of the cousins, but may be able to get some help on the message boards. I need to contact Richard (Rick) Essary and his brother, Ronald, and I have information they may be in Oregon or Washington State. If anyone sees this and knows of these fellows, please have them contact me, either on this board or by e-mail. Thanks. Lois Wimberley Chandler

Re: Wake Co NC Wimberley / Wimberly Children of Zachariah

CandyHughes74 — 2006-12-11 21:01:02Z

my husband did considerable research on Zachariah Wimberley
this summer at the Family History Library, and I've
forwarded your query on to him

our data suggests that "Jack" was born Andrew Jackson Wimberley in 1849 and married Amelia (maiden name not determined yet) in 1864; that's about the extent of our information on him

however, the only "John" Wimberley I find in my database was born considerably later; it's difficult to determine whether you are looking at two or three different individuals, or just one

we will be quite interested in your information on
Mary (Rich/Reach) (Yates) Wimberley, as we have less information on her, since hubby descends from Pleasant Wimberley,
from Zachariah's first marriage to Quinney Vaughn

there are some clues that Quinney Vaughn may have been part Native American; nothing conclusive yet

hoping to share more information ...

Patti,
Rachel is my 6th Great Grand Aunt. All I have is b. abt 1715 and do not have a spouse or children for her. Her Father is John Wimberley b 1674 in New Kent, VA and d 1742 in Bertie NC. Her mother is Elizabeth Smith b. abt 1692. They married in 1710 in Bertie Co. Apparently Johns Father was also John and is from London England.
I am working on a Wimberley tree and have 400+ names. Much of my work is not verified so I will not publish it for some time. My 5th Great Grandfatehr , William Wimberley, was married to Elizabeth Harrell b.1767 in Bertie NC and d 1840 in Washington, Choctaw, Alabama
