The Adema and Holliman Families 
Grace Holliman, far left, is a great-great grandaughter of G.W. and Frances Wilson Osborne. Next to her (left to right) are three of G.W. and Frankie's great-grandchildren, Bob Adema,Glenn N. Holliman (Grace's father) and Peg Adema Noeltner. Bob and Peg, brother and sister, are descended through Bascom Osborne and Glenn and Grace throughMayme Osborne Stansbery, two of G.W. and Frankie's seven children. Photo made by Gay Adema in Florida, March 2010. Glenn, with the help of Grace, is the compiler of this blog and responsible for any errors of commission or omission. He is a former history teacher and now retired from the Episcopal Church Foundation. He and his wife, Barbara, live in Newport, Pennsylvania on 15 acres of woodland where they raise free-range cats. Another Adema member not pictured is Rob Adema, Bog and Gay's son, who has researched the family for years and generously shares information. A reunion is set with the Ademas late August 2010 to explore further family roots. Geraldine Stansbery Holliman Feick 
My mother (above right) has saved family papers and photos all her life, and with them I have been able to reconstruct the 20th century of the Stansbery and Osborne families. Her sister, the lateLouise Stansbery Sherwood (above left), had savedFrances Wilson Osborne's diary of 1912 - 1940 which has served as a guide to that time period. The original diary is now in the archives of the Center for Appalachian Studies, Boone, North Carolina. The photo above is from Bristol, Tennessee, approximately 1940. The Boone Society web site (http://www.boonesociety.org) is an outstanding resource with many dedicated officers to assist one in exploring this part of our family tree. In particular three individuals have provided new and exciting information: Dorothy Mack, Pat Hagan and Janet de la Pena. You may contact these individuals through the web site or checking with me.

Subscribe to: Posts (Atom) 12/29/10 When We Were Greers, Part IX by Glenn N. Holliman Joppa Town, Maryland - A Place for Family Weddings! During their first marriage, Sarah and John had numerous children. Our direct ancestor is one of their sons, John Greer, Jr., my generation's 6th great grandfather, who was born 1714, again on the Gunpowder River. He would die May 1782 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Notice the migration south. Much of this extended family will settle in North Carolina, including our direct ancestors. John Greer Jr. married Sarah Day Elliott at the St. John's Parish in Joppa, Maryland in 1736. A second wife would be Nancy Lowe Walker. Below is the plot of land, roped off, where the church stood.Samuel and Mary Harrod Stansbery (Stansbury) also married at this location in 1761. In the left background is a 1962 structure, the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, signifying the rebirth of Joppa in the 1960s, two hundred years after it achieved ghost town status. 
In the 1960s a real estate development company, realizing the potential of a location along slow moving rivers, near I - 95 and only 25 miles from downtown Baltimore, created a 'new' Joppa Town. Below is an advertisement from that era. Click twice and the images will enlarge. Oh, to have 1960 prices with 2010 incomes!
