Frustration. That's what I'm feeling right now. Over the past couple of weeks I have drafted two more blog entries, but I cannot post them. At first, I had writer's block, then I couldn't decide on which ancestor from which ancestral line to pick from. Once I narrowed it down, though, I began my second blog entry. About mid-way (I guess), I suddenly stopped clacking on my keyboard as it hit me that there is something of a family dispute over how this particular ancestor died and the version of events in my blog entry might fan the flames, so to speak. Also, I realized it might upset certain family members, no matter which sequence of events I posted. So...it is in draft for now. Neither the gender nor the line this ancestor is from can be mentioned right now.
The third blog entry that is still in draft status is about Solomon Sawyer/s and his wife, Tabitha Evans, on my husband's side. Fortunately, there is no big secret to hide about them, just more very wanted information to uncover about them. Solomon was born about 1798 in Caswell County, North Carolina, and died November 9, 1880, in Shoals, Surry County, North Carolina. His wife, Tabitha, was born 1807-1814, in Chatham County, North Carolina, and died September 15, 1910, also in Shoals, Surry, NC. They both were reportedly mixed bloods of Cherokee, Black and white, AND free persons of color (FPOC's). The problem is that I haven't yet figured out how to upload any documents I have for them.
Still learning (sigh)...frustrated...but I wanted to at least explain why the delay in posting a new entry since my first one. Until then, happy "genie" hunting.
