Hi. I am the daughter of Mary Pursley…I think you are the distant cousin who helped her in her research. I would be very interested in receiving copies of pictures you have…my son is doing a report on grandpa thomas and phoebe at school this month. he has to dress up as thomas and tell of his life and I thought having some pictures to put on his project board would be great, if I could get my hands on some.
I will look forward to hearing from you.

I have a painting right now that is stamped F.Seibert and i think it could be your great grandfathers if he was an artist.

I grew up on 21st St. & Florida Avenue. My father and grandfather knew your family through the dry cleaners. My father worked at Metzger’s Drug. I am doing research on speakeasies in Kenmore, Akron, & Barberton. Could you expand on the information provided in this blog? If you wish I can remove your name from any thing that I write – some people prefer it that way.

I thought a Michael Brode at WJ high school. I think that he graduated from John Carroll in June. Ask him about me.

To Mr. DeWitt: What is your line of descent from Edward Cunningham? I have two books of genealogy that detail the descendants of Edward Cunningham – “Colonial Cunninghams of the Virginias and Their Descendants” by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Blech, and “Adam and 500 More Cunninghams of the Valley of Virginia, c.1734 – c.1800″ by Betty Cunningham Newman. Both books are thoroughly indexed and neither contains anyone with the name DeWitt. I am a fifth generation direct descendant of Edward Cunningham, from his youngest son Enoch.

Here is a FindAGrave.com site for Thomas Cunningham.

Here is Phebe’s site too… but it has no photo.

If anyone has a photo of her grave, it would be great if you would post it at FindAgrave.

I descend from Thomas’s brother Edward.

Kenmore as I always remembered it was a hard working community and had its rough spots. I was a 6th Gerneration Brode from that area. My Great Grandfather ran a speak easy in a Basement of a building by the old bus barns. My Grandfather and Father both owned the Brode Dry Cleaners and both served as city councilmen. Hell the high school plays at George Brode Field
. I will always love a cherish Kenmore.

As I stated previously (November 12, 2008) I have photos of Phoebe’s gravestone in the Gainer Cemetery near Freed, WV, and of Thomas’ stone in a small cemetery which is reportedly on the “Barker Farm” on the road to Fonzo, WV. Thomas died in 1826, long before the invention of photography, and Phoebe died in 1845 when photography was in its infancy so there was almost certainly no photo of her ever taken, especially since she was living at that time in a rather remote area of northwestern Virginia, far from any center of civilization that might have had an early photographer.

Fred Seibert was my g-g-grandfather. He moved from Louisville, KY to Akron, Ohio in 1916. You can read more about him in this blog post of mine:

Yes, that would be my mother.

Jacob and Malinda had numerous kids, one being a Frederick W. Seibert, b1889, and I have heard stories that he moved to Ohio. Same person?

Some one told me of the German naming custom with the son being named after his father’s father – and Theobald would work.

Thanks. Look forward to “talking” in the future.

Dennis
