Xahron nearly lost his resolve at this, as he knew his head had been tampered with. His skill with his own internal magic seemed frailed and fractured since the trial began. He looked upon his captor with a look of hatred.
Understood, my Lord
Xahron knew he could not escape these three, and calling their leader "my lord" seemed the most respectful way to adress them.
Why hello there!
LostbutFound (Oct 20, 2008)
Jace quickly restrained his thoughts. But only one stood at the forefront of his mind. "How were they able to install such a device into my skull without me knowing, and especially even after I have never heard of or seen these people before." It was no wonder Jace felt all of his internal concrescent and spiritual power being suppressed, though it didnt seem to control the power in his armor. In this state he couldn't even summon Arcana, as it required both his internal energies. In reply to what this man had to say two others had refused. He sensed that if the man was serious about what he told them before, they most likely would remain here until all of this is resolved.
Jace didn't utter a word and followed the man out of the cell, his armor clanking heavily in heavy thump as it clanked against the floor. It was about time for him to learn about this so called 'death of all realities'.
:"The power of the Mind, The power of the Heart, The power of the Soul, The power of the Body, The power of the Memory, The power to protect, The power to destroy, It lies within every being And within every being lies it"
Muea took black bands from her pocket, She handed them to Totschlager, "Here is what you asked me to come up with and it will do what you wanted with some limitation." There was one black bracelet type band for each prisoner. She stepped out of the cell first(because she was blocking the door) and was on instant vigil. They didn't need to be caught now. Those that were coming stepped out as well as Totschlager and Mangus.
They all followed Totschlager, Muea being ever watchful.

Drune stiffened. He had a bomb in his head?! His hand slowly reached back towards the base of his skull, feeling a slight scar. He gritted his teeth. He hated being on a leash. Drune gave a grim laugh. At least they didn't have to worry about him trying to pull anything off. Not like he had magic, or could use a weapon, except for a bow and arrow, and maybe the knife. Sighing, he ran his hand through his hair again. He guessed he had to follow to learn about "Death". Drune stuffed his hands into his pockets and nods to the red-eyed figure.
"Alright, I understand. Arg. I hate this. Why me..."
Silently he looks to Red-eyes again, ready to follow. A glum look on his face.
Est Sularis oth Mithas
Going home soon.
personal thoughts
As Totschlager and Muea left the cell, Magnus hung back and filed in at the rear of the line. He leaned towards the Angle type figure
"Better not scratch your head too much. There have been some accidents in the past." He smiled coldly as he marched on, listening intently for any unwanted guests. The sevro's in his left arm gave a slight swish as he swung his arm.
Damned cold, screws with the mechanincs. Or maybe I should give them an oil?
Magnus had started to count steps, working out who's were who's and mapping out the rythem they made. There didn't seem to be any foriegn footfalls. His fingure tightened on his Pistol's grip.
Better safe than sorry!
Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a Harpsichord sining "Subtle plans are here again!"
Nyx clinched on to the hand where her gem was equipped. 'I can not help people in need now...what kind of angel is powerless.. Nyx walked silently with the rest of the group with a very grim look in her eyes. She was not crying but you could see the sadness as she walked by. She glanced at everyone in the group when all the sudden she heard what sounded like someone talking to her telepathically. w-what? Is there another angel with me?! She dropped her head and continued to walk along with the group she didn't want to stand out just yet.
"Thanks," Totschlager said and took the items from Muea. "The explosions are strong enough to injure someone you're directly touching if they are without armor," he stated simply, it was a curious bit of information and he would like to see their reactions. Without another word Totschlager left the prison holding section, he closed the cell with a flick of the wrist and sealing both Sayn and Melchior within. He followed a darkened corridor for several minutes, behind him Totschlager could hear the others trailing, the metal, but light suit of the Time Police clanked loudly with the metal corridor, the sounds reverberating from every direction. The group passed by several other Time Police who, once they saw Totschlager, stood at attention and saluted and gave a firm 'Sir!' with a snap. Totschlager ignored the usual salutes under the current situation.
Soon after they took a right turn and entered a large room…
"This is where we shall get this journey undo go." Totschlager announced, turning to face the group. His red eyes pierced the scene.
Visit my blog: Rewriting Life
Muea chuckled at Nyx. <No that was just me, Muea. I was checking to see if any of the other Time Police that can hear thoughts were around. We are safe from that.>
Muea walked up beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder(there were no other officers except the original three at this time.) <I can speeak verbaly or mind to mind whatever the need.> Nyx notices that Muea's claws on her hand were not very sharp but blunt and very strong. a strange sort of leathery pad(like gecko feet) ran from mid curve on her claw to the first joint on the palm side of her fingers. There was a strange sort of .....weapon?....Claws?.....that hung on Muea's belt.
Muea quickly removed her hand when she sensed some of the Police so that by the time they passed them standing at attention she looked very much on guard.

Cobblers capture Davis
06 Jun 2008 - 18:13:38
Northampton Town manager Stuart Gray believes he can get the best out of Liam Davis after signing the former Coventry City player on a two-year contract.
The 21-year-old only started four games during his time with the Sky Blues and spent most of the season just ended on the fringes of the first-team squad.
Gray told the Cobblers' official website: "Liam has a lot of potential. He's a left-sided player with good pace and a lot of skill.
"He has a good engine and is a natural athlete. I'm sure we can help get the best out of him and he's a player with the hunger and desire to do well.
"He can play on the wing or at full-back and gives us options down the left-hand side, very much like Daniel Jones did last season.
"Liam will be a good addition to the squad and our work to strengthen further is still ongoing."

text: Film Star Focus: Wreck-It RalphOr, why I think Disney's Wreck-It Ralph deserved its Oscar nomination. Let it be known that I have not yet seen the other nominees (including the winner, Pixar's Brave), but I still think what this film was able to accomplish was more than deserving of its nomination, if not the win. Wreck-It Ralph might seem like a blatant cash-in, or a movie that would only appeal to the gaming demographic (and even then, only the younger one), but I'm here to put that theory to rest. The setting and slew of cameos might draw in the gaming community, but the characters and their journeys are what will bring people back for their 2nd, 3rd, and 50th viewings.And so this brings me to the first of my latest line of features, the Film Star Focus. I may not be well versed in cinematography or film history/techniques, but I can at the very least spot a great character story when I see one. Thus, in this series I will be trying my best to flesh out the great (and not so great) character

I wondered why he was keeping even so easily lol.
What are you driving? Contrary to what many here will assert, VQ-powered cars, though having a boring torque curve, put out respectable power.

As Ray says, the powerband is almost completely linear in the VQ engine...very odd feeling compared to the boost and peaky curve of the WRX. But again, the VQ is powerful. Get on the gas and next thing you know, you're doing a buck-ten down the highway without realizing.
After Intake, exhaust, plenum spacer, and basic bolt ons...there's nothing you can really do to a 350z other than boost. Most popular thing to do at that point is to run a twin turbo setup at about 7-9psi (rather low due to the high compression ratio of the VQ)...which will net you 400whp every time.

Just a larger cold air intake and aftermarket exhaust. We were just accelerating around a corner over a short distance, nothing like actual racing. He just hit the gas and I figured I'd drop him over a short distance past the corner, but he kept about a foot ahead overall and I heard what sounded like a turbo and thought 'hmmm, thought they didn't have turbos...' heh.
The exhaust on some are pretty deep almost sound like turbos or did you hear blowoff
Perrin Shorty
HKS Exhaust
Given properly running vehicles, he either didn't have FI, or wasn't into the gas. In a rolling start, a turbo'ed VQ would leave a mildly modded WRX for dead. I spent some time in the VQ mod forums when I owned a G35. The turbocharged guys were making 400-500hp.

Heard it spooling up as we came out of the corner.
Top end on those cars is pretty good, odds are he had an intake. A turboed 350Z would have been gone. A stock 350Z runs low 14's, and that's because of traction off the line.
I think it prolly wasn't turbo he just prolly got on it before you did cause a turbo z shoulda sprinted into the distance nissan wasn't messing around when they designed the 3.5 and once the turbos added they just put up the numbers the exhaust is done right on thos cars too sound nice and rough stock my buddy bought his g35 cause he loved the exhaust noise so much
Note: if this dosn't make sense its a 3 day weekend and I'm already a few deep

Malaya Business News Online reported that smuggling has cost the government PHP 500 million in lost revenues since January 2012. The government and SASSMAPI raids yielded 600 tonnes of suspected smuggled angle bars.
Manufacturers of steel angle bars estimate that smuggling has eaten up 50% of the market and deprived government of some P500 million in revenues since the beginning of the year.
Mr Ramon Tan, spokesman of the Steel Angles, Shapes and Sections Manufacturers Association of the Philippines Inc (SASSMAPI), said that recent raids by the PNP Intelligence Group, Department of Trade and Industry and SASSMAPI men yielded 600 tonnes of counterfeit and uncertified steel angle bars that are believed to have been smuggled into the country.
The contraband seized from steel firms in Angeles City and Laguna are estimated to be worth more than PHP 20 million.
SASSMAPI said these seized counterfeit steel angle bars constitute just a fraction of sub standard steel angle bars being sold cheap in the market. Mr Tan said the Bureau of Internal Revenue loses more than the initial estimate of PHP 500 million due to the continuous and rampant entry of containerized vans loaded with steel angle bars.
Mr Tan said the volume of contraband steel angle bars seized have raised industry fears.
Industry players estimate that smuggled steel angle bars have taken about 50% of the market.
In the two outlets searched, more than 600 tonnes of suspect steel angle bars were found and these constituted more than 80% of their steel angle inventory. If this is reflected in the marketplace, it is no wonder why the industry is struggling. The group is alarmed over the purported proliferation of sub standard steel angle bars believed to have been smuggled from China.
It said these steel angle bars pose a great danger to public safety because they do not conform with standards.
Mr Tan, a steel angle bar expert, said that the group believes that up to 50% of available steel angle bars being sold in the domestic market are sub standard.
Steel angle bars that do not bear markings approved by the DTI's Bureau of Product Standards are deemed to be uncertified and subject to seizure by the DTI. Sub standard steel angle bars are being sold 15% lower than the industry grade locally manufactured steel angle bars.
Mr Tan said that "We believe that these sub standard steel angle bars smugglers continue to cheat our hardware owners, construction firms and developers, as well as government. These uncertified steel angle bars were poorly manufactured and contain materials that are not in compliance with the local industry requirements. Yes, they are cheap, but they are illegal and they pose a great risk to those who will use them."
Steel angle bars are being used as supports in the construction of houses and high rise buildings. Poorly made steel angle bars could cause extreme problems especially during earthquakes.
In October 4th 2011g the NALECC CIC (National Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee Sub Committee on Intelligence Coordination) meeting in Camp Crame chaired by General Mr Charles Calima, the steel angle bar industry raised its concern on the proliferation of counterfeit and substandard steel angle bars in the market and that these steel angle bars pose a great risk to the public since we are in an earthquake zone and are subject to frequent typhoons.

Great Travel Moment:
Wherever we travel, my fiancée and I always try to avoid organized tours and explore the sights on our own, in an effort to add to the adventure of our journey and avoid the usual tourist crowds. Our visit to Giza and the Great Pyramids in Egypt was no exception. After a sunrise camel ride and a visit to the pyramid complex, we strolled through the streets of Giza and were surprised to find ourselves less than a mile away from one of the great wonders of the world and plunged into the mayhem of daily Egyptian life, with not another tourist in sight. Donkeys, rusty old cars, beggars, food stalls, children playing soccer, and merchants of all kinds sauntered on the dirty streets scattered with potholes the size of garden ponds while the Great Pyramid towered over it alltwo very different worlds sharing the same plateau.

"No, there is no way water can go out of the sitting area of the tube, unless you flip it over. From my own personal experiences, this was never an issue. "

Great thanks Boss, and something else in Fear 2 when i want to play with a different acoount save data it says to me wrong user and play a new story mode, this means that is psn locked?
You have Tekken 5 DR listed as "mixed reports." I have the game and there are two save files for it. One can be copied and the other can't. I can check which is which in a few minutes if that's important.
Tekken 5 DR Online: "customize data" can be copied and "play data" can't.
2 other games to add to the list are Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero.

subject to future root girdling?
This is a Japanese Tree Lilac. It was planted from a very root-bound pot 6 weeks ago. The pot was filled with a lot of roots swirling but as you can see in picture the root flare seems to be appropriately " exposed and visible...or is it high enough out of the ground. Should I be concernded about the large roots that are broadly encircling the tree on the ground surface? Does this look like a problem down the road when the tree is larger? I could easily snip these elbow roots sticking out around the ground when it gets cooler. Good idea? Or should I pull it out of the ground this autumn and really look closer at the entire root situation. Is the large pot-sized swirl of roots a potential problem? Do you agree that the root flare is appropriately above ground? Look for 2 more pictures to posted on this subject.
I would wait for the dormant season to straighten out the roots. If the roots are circling, which I would guess is a "yes", they DO need straightened. If not, you will have a problem in the near future. I must admit i don't have much experience with large potbound plants, I buy the small ones, with small roots. But if someone digs it up and prunes those roots to proper form and follows with frequent irrigation the next growing season, and MAYBE even the next growing season, you may have success helping the potbound shrub be able to adapt and do well in the original planting place. This is my best guess at the right advice. If the roots are circling, cut them (Prune) them to make them straight or in other words, the way they should be growing into the soil.
it would depend .. on how big the pot was ... and what those roots do at the end of the pot ...
if they immediately circle back around toward the trunk .. then you might have possible problems ... poaky is pretty spot on.. but for making declarations such as "you will have a problem in the near future." .... i used to do that ... but forecasting mother nature would include hedging your statement a bit ... you may or may not have a future problem ... but knowing.. is not an option.. w/o knowing what is going on underground ...
but if they continue on.. straight away ... no problem ..
the only real way.. to get answers... would be to dig it up and find out ... when it drops its leaves... you would want to do root surgery.. when the plant is dormant ... the current situation would be akin to holding it over until proper surgery time ... [too lazy to look it up.. is this tree deciduous???]
i have simply snipped them... but that still leaves you with no info.. so you spend years worrying.. and wondering ... it would be better to do it.. learn.. and find some satisfaction in knowing ...
The pot was pretty large and was completely filled with a mass of roots going round and round. I had been actually concerned about the larger roots on the surface as they might constrict the main trunk as it gets larger, but now that I think about your discussing the root ball itself, it really is is dense swirl and I think it would be worth it to take it out and open up the ball and get the swirling under control. I can then also probe a little around the root flare and see if there are any looming problems with larger roots. This tree was sitting in a pot for a number of years and it really still thinks it's in its pot at only five weeks in the ground. I'm planning on taking it out when it gets cold and leafless and helping the root situation and suspect it will do fine in the spring. Thanks for all the feed back and please leave more comments if they come to mind!
Planting height looks good. Jap. tree lilac is notoriously slow-growing, so for that reason alone, you may not see girdling root problems for quite some time. But if the roots were anything like you describe, it does seem likely that a problem will develop at some point. Now here's where it gets tricky: Amongst maples, for example, studies have shown that sugar maple and silver maple can develop girdling roots quite readily (among transplanted stock-the only situation where these types of roots form) yet very rarely, if ever, do these roots end up harming the tree. Meanwhile, Norway maples that have been transplanted are notorious for developing girdling roots which can and do limit the tree's life. So not all species act the same with regard to A) Developing girdling roots from transplant, and B) Having those girdling roots go on to make trouble.
Finally, there's this: Wherever one would attempt to "straighten" roots by means of uncovering them and making cuts, new rootlets are going to form wherever these cuts have been made. These new rootlets will in turn grow and gain girth, and are oriented such that they will be in exactly the right position to once again girdle the main stem. I just don't know if it's worth all the trouble. Finally, is that the typical foliage color for this tree? Sure looks chlorotic. Is there perchance a bunch of old stump chips from a prior tree in that area, causing "nitrogen drag", or what other factor could account for the poor foliage condition?
Yes, it definitely has turned to a yellowing chlorotic look. I was assuming this was because the tree has never been in the ground, but living in this bound pot and was figuring that this was it's normal cycle and look by the late summer by dint of it having always been in a pot, that is, until I put it in the ground five or six weeks ago. When I bought the tree the color was very nice and looked healthy. But I was thinking that it would do fine after it got established properly in the earth. Before this Lilac tree in same location were two six feet tall Deutizia. They did not leave any wood chips behind and there has never been a tree in that area, at least not for many years I'm sure. Would it's life living in a pot and all root bound tend to put it into a weaker chlorotic state by the season's end?
+oM, one thing that IS in the soil is a dose of pea gravel that got left behind when I took out some of the patio stones to widen the bed after removing the Deutzia. There was a notable amount sprinkled through the soil around the tree and you can see the pebbles in the photos of the roots. Would that be bad for the tree? I can remedy that also when I look at the roots this autumn. Another stressor on the tree is that it was prior to this though living in the open sun (which this tree should like) it was also completely surrounded closely by other nursery trees so it did not get the full sun like it is now, another reason I thought the yellowing just had to do with it's never having been properly established in the earth and without proper earth and pot bound it was adjusted better to the shadier setting from whence it came. Comments on any or all of this babble appreciated.
New lilac tree transplants are almost guaranteed to yellow this time of year. Do nothing but water appropriately.
Pic two, upper left root cut to the trunk next late winter/early spring right before bud break. If its above the soil line it will not re-root if it originated from the trunk above the soil as it appears to be
Pic two, bottom left, can you determine where it originates? Is it on top of a root that is flaring off the main trunk?
I always remove girdling roots that I can cut back to the trunk that are above soil...no brainer.
Thanks for all the feedback.
whass, thanks for your details. I'm thinking you meant upper right for root to cut to trunk? Or, let me label the roots this way: left, center, and right. With that labeling system, the left one I see as which you precisely discern to question regarding whether it's from the trunk directly or is coming up and going over a root flaring off of the main trunk. It's dark out now so I don't know the answer....what if it IS coming up from under and wrapping over the trunk flare? Shouldn't I still go down a little a clip it off?
I REALLY like the advice to do it soon before budding because I've gotten no strong voice on the question ever of whether such things are better done in the beginning of the cold season or the end of it.
I still wonder whether I should lift the tree out and address the tight mass of swirling roots below that resulted from being root bound and which I didn't break up when I planted; and if so, would that also be best achieved right before bud break?

widowed. She then married Walter Daux[2][2] and had two daughters named Ann and Susanna Daux

In addition to its
intrinsic genealogical value, all this tells us something about John Witt. First of all, the Plaine and Daux families,
as well as John Flower, appear to have been solidly middle class. [See Daux
note below.] Given the strict
stratification of 17th century
We can also make a reasonable guess as to his age. We know, for example, that John Flower was about 30 years old in 1658 when he married the widow Mary Daux, suggesting that Mary herself was either younger or, at worst, no more than a few years older. The Daux sisters, if they were typical of the time, would have married about the age of 17 or 18, suggesting they were born in the mid 1650s and were quite young at their father's death. Men typically married in their late 20s at this time, and tended to be about ten years older than their wives.

We don't know when or where John Witt and his wife died, nor do we have any records to prove their children. It is assumed that he was dead by 1715 when two apparent sons moved several miles away, but he could have died any time after 1695. It may be significant that no Witts appear on the surviving 1704 Quit Rents. The following four sons are postulated, mainly by their proximity to John Witt's last known location. None of these second-generation Witts appear as importees on patents, and all appear first in the vicinity of John Witt's last known location.

An odd item is that the will also ordered the executors to "sell all the land I hold on the south side of the Main Road between that and Dan River, and the money be applied towards paying my son Caleb's legacy off." It is not clear what land he was referring to, and there is no record of a separate sale after his death. He is most likely referring to some portion of his remaining 190 acres that lay below the road. The land he was leasing at the time does not appear to be below the road, and the lease would have run out by 1777, long before Caleb came of age. I also doubt that the sale of the lease would have brought much money, since the original price was only 10 pounds. At any rate, Joseph Witt sold the remaining 190 acres after his father's death.

His wife Lamina apparently did not survive him. There
is no evidence she was alive in 1781, as Joseph Witt was the sole executor when

unknown. There is a strong belief among Witt researchers that Lamina (or
Lavinia) was the daughter of

probably was the source for Mrs. Norton, gave his birth year as 1755, but he
was probably older than that.[34]

(c1750? - ?) She was "Sarah Kirby" in her father's will. An
interesting complication is that Samuel Davis, who lived adjoining Charles
Witt, also had a daughter named Sarah Kirby, whom he named in his will in 1772
just a year after Charles Witt's will. (Samuel Davis had lived adjoining

time Charles Witt died, they were living on the Virginia-North Carolina line in

10. Rhoda Witt (c1750? - ?) She
was unmarried when her father wrote his will in early 1771. Some
descendants think she married Thomas Stamps shortly thereafter. Whether
that was the case or not is uncertain. Although Thomas Stamps lived
nearly 75 miles west at the time of the marriage, he did have a child named
Moses Witt Stamps. A biography of Moses Witt Stamps says his mother was a
However, whether or not she was specifically a daughter of Charles Witt is
unproven. Moses Witt Stamps was born 1771-2 so his parents must have
married shortly after Charles Witt's will was written. I am unable to
find any evidence that Thomas Stamps wife was named Rhoda, much less that his
wife was a daughter of Charles Witt. Thomas Stamps was born

unmarried when her father wrote his will in 1771. She is thought to have

The record of Joseph Witt's death in November 1819 (see
below) gives his age as 67, implying a birth year of 1752. However, we
have good reason to think he was actually as much as five years older.

His father's will, dated 30 January 1771 and proved 23 June
1781 in Halifax County, left his plantation to his wife Lamina during her
widowhood with reversion to Joseph Witt at her death or remarriage. It
also requested "my son Joseph Witt shall oblige to take care of his mother
during her life or widowhood also the small children to keep them together with
her while they come to age…"[4] Both Joseph Witt and Lamina Witt
were named executors. Lamina probably died before her husband, since
Joseph Witt was the sole executor both when the will was proved and a month
later when the inventory was recorded.[5] Joseph appears in the 1782 tax

Joseph Witt died intestate on
On 6 March 1821, Sally Witt and eight children (John Witt, Nathaniel Witt, Silas Witt, James Witt, Mourning Witt, Edward G. Sellars, Patsy Witt, and Joseph L. Witt), all of Jefferson County, sold to Charles Cate Jr. the 200 acres on Manuel's Branch in Jefferson County which Joseph Witt had purchased in 1804.[34] Sally Witt, the widow, signed with her mark, but the others signed their names. [Joseph L. Witt is listed twice in the body of the deed but did not sign it, evidently because he was a minor at the time.] By the time this deed was finally proved in 1829, the entire family had left the county, and a witness was required to depose that he saw all the Witts sign their names to the deed. John Witt evidently took (or already had) possession of the original 160-acre grant, on which he was taxed in 1822. As best we can tell, it appears that the children in the 1821 deed are listed in order, from oldest to youngest.
John Witt, with one white poll and 160 acres, is the only
member of the family on the 1822 tax list of

No surname is identified for the children, but Avery Hannah's 1840 census includes only two males, one 5-10 and one 10-15. Later records strongly suggest that all these children were Witts, with the exception of Calvin M. Calvin and Violet seem to be identified as twins in the census, but the handwriting for "twins" is different suggesting that might be a later entry. The 1840 census does not suggest that they were twins. Only four males were in the 1840 Matilda Witt household, and the one in the same category as Violet was clearly Silas from later records. It appears to me that Calvin M. was actually a Hannah but the remainder of the children were Witts. I would note that Calvin was a common name among the Hannahs at the time, and while there are no subsequent references to a Calvin Witt, there were at least two other Calvin Hannahs in the area.

The minutes of Eastanallee Baptist Church for July 1823 or 1824 (the date is uncertain) contain a reference to the formation of the New Hopewell church: "The scattered members of Eastanallee Church living on Mouse Creek agreed to become a Constitution if found fit and petitions Pisgah and Zion Hill Churches for their ministerial help for that purpose to attend on the 4th Saturday in August at the Widow Witts on Mouse Creek." [8] "Widow Witt" must refer to Sarah Witt, Joseph Witt's widow and Nathaniel's mother. Mary Cate(s), surely Nathaniel's mother-in-law, was received into the church on the same day. [See the referenced footnote for a discussion of the date of this entry.]
Nathaniel Witt died intestate sometime in mid-1826. On
The 1830 census of McMinn County has a number of Witt households[11], four of them enumerated consecutively: Joseph Witt (aged 20-30), Edward "Cellers", Sally Witt (aged 60-70), and Polly Witt (aged 40-50). These appear to be Nathaniel Witt's brother, brother-in-law, mother, and widow. Nathaniel's brothers Silas Witt and James Witt were nearby, as were father-in-law William Cate and sons-in-law Thomas Epperson and William Rucker. Polly Witt had in her household a male under 5, a male 5-10, a male 20-30, two females 10-15, and a female 15-20 – evidently the six children who were unmarried at the time.[12]
The surviving tax lists of
Further evidence that Mary was still living on her husband's
1824 grant lies in related deeds. Silas Witt, Nathaniel's brother, had
apparently acquired 80 acres adjoining Nathaniel's grant, which he sold prior
to moving to
The children of Nathaniel Witt are identified in a series of
deeds disposing of his property. On
Two of the Witt children married children of James Rucker,
according to a book on the Rucker family.[22] Indeed, on
In addition, we have three other family records of the children of Nathaniel Witt, none of which can be considered completely reliable.
First, the Rucker book published in 1927, mentions the other Witt children in an incidental way. It lists six children of Nathaniel Witt: "Marriam" (wife of Mordicia Rucker), Joseph (husband of Matilda Rucker), Nancy (wife of William Rucker), Rathian, William, and Sally (wife of Thomas Epperson).[24] Joseph Witt is misidentified here as a son of Nathaniel rather than a brother. The book provides details only for Miriam and Nancy, although the 1841 deed above is referenced. [This deed was clearly misread, as "Katherine" was transcribed by the author as "Rathian".] Of the six children named, Joseph was actually an uncle of the others, but five were definitely children of Nathaniel Witt.
Second, an unsigned typewritten manuscript in the LDS
Library, which I will call the "CLHW" paper[25], gives the same five
children, and adds three more: Mary (wife of George W. Cate), Joseph
Nathaniel Witt, and Silas Witt. The Rucker book was evidently a source
for this paper, though it adds more detail to some of the children. Some
of the information in this book came from a "Mr. Carter", also acknowledged as
a source in the Rucker book, who was apparently a grandson of Nancy Witt and
William Rucker, through their daughter Rachel who married Hiram Carter.
This paper makes only rare references to original sources and seems to have
been compiled from family records and interviews. [The paper adds
"Rathian" as a ninth child, apparently relying on the misreading of the 1841
deed perpetuated by the Rucker book. It omits
Finally, a grandson of Nathaniel Witt (William Breckinridge
Witt) wrote a letter in 1947 mentioning eleven children: "My father's
name was William and [he] had two brothers named Joe and Nathaniel. There
were eight sisters which I know very little about. Two of the girls
married men by the name of Kates. One married a man by name Rucker. One
married a Mr. Box." [26] [Mr. Witt was born in
Census records, and the deeds above, clarify that there were three sons and six daughters.
Sarah (Sally) Witt (c1805 – 1878) From the 1841 deed

from the children's ages. They are in the 1830 census of McMinn and the
1840 census of

Mary Witt (c1814 – aft1860) She was the wife of
George William Cate, named as an heir of Nathaniel Witt in both the 1841 and
1843 deeds. She appears to be one of the females aged 10-15 in Polly
Witt's household in 1830. She and George W. Cate seem to have married
about 1832 judging from the children's ages. In 1840, they were living
adjacent to William Cate Sr. in Bradley County, Tennessee, with four children
under 10. They apparently moved to
Elizabeth Witt (c1815 – c1877) The daughter in the
1830 household of Polly Witt, aged 15-20, appears to be the Elizabeth
Grisham, later the wife of Thomas Grisham, who sold her interest in Nathaniel
Witt's estate in 1843. Census records suggest a birth year of 1815 and a
marriage date by 1835. They are in the 1850 census of
Catherine Witt (c1818 – aft1860) Catherine Witt was
probably of age but unmarried when she sold her interest in her father's land
in 1841, signing the deed with her mark.[39] She was
apparently one of the two females aged 10-15 in Mary Witt's household in 1830,
and the female 20-30 in the 1840 household. According to the "CLHW"
paper, Nathaniel Witt's daughter Catherine "married a Mr. Ball in Tennessee
and she is said to have had an only child…Sene Ball b abt 1843 and died May 2,
1919 Birchwood, Tenn…[who] married Samuel Gamble…a brother of her uncle Joseph
Nathaniel Witt's first wife." [40] Catherine
may have married a Ball after 1841, but she was using her maiden name again in
the 1850 census when Catherine Witt, age 31, was in the McMinn household of
Pleasant B. and Mary Bryan[41] with a daughter age 7
named "Ascynith". In 1860, Catherine Witt (age 42) and her daughter
"Amatha" (age 16) are in the
8. William M. Witt (c1822 – 1871) We have conflicting records of his birth year, but it appears to be about 1822. He seems to be the male 5-10 in Mary Witt's household in 1830 and the male 15-20 in her 1840 household. He married Elizabeth Hayes, daughter of Solomon Hayes (a neighbor of the Witts) in 1845 according to his son-in-law. He moved to Titus County, Texas in late 1846 with several others from McMinn. (See separate page.)

(c1822? – 1871)
William Witt's birth date is uncertain. James Houston
Hayes, kept a diary late in his life which gives William Witt's birth date as
The proof that William M. Witt was a son of Nathaniel Witt
is compelling, if a bit convoluted. The 1841 sale by the heirs of
Nathaniel Witt establishes that there was a son named William. The
question is whether ours is the same person. The "CLHW" paper provides a
valuable clue. It has no detail on William Witt, but states "Some say
he died near Athens, Tenn.; others say he moved to Texas…John Witt, son of

One of William's children, William Breckenridge "Breck" Witt, wrote a letter in 1947 to a great-granddaughter of William Witt which cements the ancestry.[6] We can't take his statements too literally, as Breck Witt was 90 years old at the time he wrote the letter, and his father had died when he was twelve, but there is great value to his statement:
My grandfather Witt [meaning
Nathaniel Witt] came from

The children and descendants of William M. Witt were documented in 1963 by Mary Lou Witt , a daughter of Fred Witt below.[5] Additional dates were provided by my grandmother, Passie Louisa Witt Taylor, daughter of Andrew William Witt below. The 1900 and 1910 censuses both asked the number of children by each female, and the number still living. From these records, all the children of the couple lived to adulthood.

It's more probable that Anne Rogers and her sisters were relatively young in 1730, thus she is unlikely to be the mother of John III. The only of her brothers we can trace is John Rogers, who seems to be the one who died in 1788, which supports the case for Ann being born around 1700.
