Forward_Family Bible Records
Includes Stiles, White, Bryan, Morgan & Waters. ( Waters only on the margin of 5 pages.
On the following pages is the " so called proof" of Col. Thomas Waters ancestry. It is 40+ pages total. I am only going to put up the 5 pages that have Waters written in the margins and 2 pages which have Morgan written on a doodling sheet. This is all the information is the entire 40+ pages that has Waters or Morgan names written on them.
Page 31---Mary Waters written in top margin.
Page 32--- At top margin it says " Charles Waters is book. Below that a part of the page is torn off and it says "_____Morgan her book 1790. Middle of the page it says " Mary Morgan her book 1710." So it is still a Morgan book in 1710. Then under that it says " Afterwards Mary Waters." Across the right margin it says" Mary Waters died July 22, 1747.
Page 33---Lists James Waters his son Edward Waters his son was born Augus 4?4 1702 Richard his son was born September 4, 1704 Thomas his son was born Jan__y 17, 170_ ( Last number cut off the page )
Page 34--- The name "Richard Waters" hand printed across the bottom margin.
This record can be viewed on LDS film number 0203240 at any Family History Center in the world. A few years ago Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana was contacted about this record. They were asked if it would be worth while to have the bible copied for the Waters information. The reply was " it would not be worthwhile for the Waters information proved nothing."
It has been said that Mr. Shadburn has Mr Hudson's 2 chapters in the Shadburn book on the Cherokee family and their descendants from Col. Thomas Waters. Of course he does. Besides what he can not glean from the Colonial Records he depends on the descendants for information. His job is to record the mixed families. Nobody is disputing the mixed family--they existed and the descendants still exist today. It is they who deny the white family, but there was certainly a white family regardless of who disagrees.
The Waters information written on the margins of this book could be any Waters family. It certainly does not connect or prove that Col. Thomas Waters came from this family. The only way it connects Col. Thomas is by Mr. Hudson's book and his descendants "saying"--this is the family of Col. Thomas Waters. " Saying" is not proof and not good enough. You need some evidence or very strong circumstanial evidence . Where did Richard Waters live ??? where did the other children of Mary Waters go to??? There's no evidence of any of them in the book or web site. Just statements.
This is NOT a Morgan Bible, NOT a Waters Bible. Morgan & Waters are only on the margins of a few pages, which could have been written there at any time.
I stand ready to be friends with the mixed family, but I will not retract what evidence I have.
