Genealogy:
I'm interested in sharing genealogy information on Church, Morrison, Hayes, Baker, Bradish and Scott in CT, VT, NY, PA, KS, MO and IL. On my maternal side - Barbee, Walker, Garner, Ebert, Rettinghouse, Badgley, Quick, Adams, Freeland and Day in NJ, VA, NC, TN, IN, IO, NE and IL.
Currently working on Richard Walker, b March 30, 1770 in Buckingham Co., VA. He lived in Stokes, NC - Grainger, Rhea and Bledsoe, TN and died in Indian Creek, IN on August 16, 1859. His father Elmore, of Buckingham Co., VA, Guilford and Rockingham counties NC,was in the Battle of the Guilford Court House during the Revolutionary War, serving in the Continental Army. His home was so near the battle that his wife (maybe - Mary LaSalle or could be Susan Chatalene?) and son heard the roar of the cannons. His brothers were Jesse (An early famous Methodist Preacher circuit rider), James, Elmore, David, Alexander (Sandy) and a sister (name unknown). James settled in Davidson Co., TN (probably Elmore and Alexander did to). James' son James followed Jesse to Illinois and married Jesse's daughter Jane. David was a Doctor and moved to Illinois. Jesse, young James and David first settled in St. Clair County, IL prior to 1810, then moved to Northern IL. Jesse and Young James are buried in Plainfield and David in LaSalle County Illinois.

Computers - Men and their toys:
Couldn't live without one. I just replaced some of the scratched/hard to read census pages I copied at the library 20 years ago and was remembering the long hours spent on the old film reader/printers, most of the time going page by page through a county without an index, now you just pull them up on line from home - what a difference 20 years makes!
Currently running a Dell Studio XPS 9000, i7 Intel processor, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, 750 GB hard drive connected to the internet through a AT&T U-Verse Gateway which is very fast. On the move I use a Toshiba S1402 laptop that I connect wirelessly through the Gateway to my household LAN. I remember my first computer - 64 kb memory, no hard drive, two 5 1/4" floppies and when memory was $40 a meg (I once paid $160 for 4 megs of memory) and now it's a few cents per meg - what a difference 20 years makes!
For my PDA I use the iPhone 16GS. I use the GedView genealogy program which accepts GEDCOM files uploaded from my Legacy desktop program.
One of the biggest problems today with PCs are the virus and spyware being sent over the internet and in e-mail. I have spent many hours cleaning up friends PCs. I have found the following virus/spyware sites very useful.
