Judith Odom marr. 26 March 1784 in Gates Co.,NC to Jospeh Dilday....unsure of parents for both suspect Joseph was s/o Henry Dilday and Honner Crawford of Gates Co. and suspect Judith was d/o Abraham. Judith and Joseph had children Seth b.1785, Penny, Eno b.1788, Anny, Levina, and Jesse. NC deeds and wills have Dildays and Odoms paired together as witnesses for each other...suspect they were neighbors. Also they followed same migration pattern to SC>GA> points west. Also suspect that Dildatha Odom was n med after family friends and relative Dilday. No proof, just theory.

Hi! I came here searching for information on the OLDHAM family. I know little of my ancestors. They came from somewhere in England, arriving in the US in the mid-nineteenth century. They settled at some point in Van Wert County in Ohio and then came to Tro where I live. The oldest names are Thomas and Polly (Blackmore) OLDHAM and then their son, Standley and his wife Abbaigail. Their children included Charles, who was my great-grandfather. Then came his son, Chester (who had a twin Marion) who was my gr ndfather. Thanks for the great site. I will be back. Marla

Comments:
I have some information on ODOM / CRISP / KOONCE / JARMAN and my later connection tie in of these lines with WEBB, mainly in Henderson County, Tennessee - some in Texas. I discovered the CRISP homepage yesterday and was very excited at the information it contained. I could not get the Guest Book page to come up there so I am glad to be able to make a comment here. I want to say thank you to all for maintaining such a wonderful service. If any researcher is interested in the above names, I will gladly share what I have. The only line that is extensive is the WEBB. I have good information on the KOONCE from other Website researchers and work done by Alice KOONCE in 1983-85. The CRISP a d ODOM lines will be mainly what I have on my family, as I am sure the earlier ancestors are well covered herein - and I cannot add much at this time on these older lines. In any case - I wish all good luck in their research - and hope it continues to be as exciting for all others as it has been for me. Ken Jenkins

I am looking for help on my Odom line. I have not worked on my lines for along time because I had come to a stand still of sorts amd got disgusted in all my efforts not paying off. Any help would certainly be appreciated. My mother was formerly Annie M. Odom, daughter of Leonard Odom (12/24/85) and Minnie Parker Odom (01/12/89). My grandfather was from Pearl River County, MS. His dad was Freeman Odom (b.1848/d. 1913) who married Mary Spiers (b.1858/d. 1944). I have reason to believe that his parents we e possibly Samuel Odom and Christina ? Odom but I am not for sure. I also believe Samuels father may be William Odom (1786) but again I am not sure. Any help with this would be appreciated. I will be glad to share what info I have if it is needed. Thank s in advance.

i have never met anyone with my last name. a branch of the odoms had a family reunion in Texas in the summer of 1998. They compiled info of Odoms by traveling around the country. if i'm right, they should have a book on the odom genology. i do not know an thing on my father's odom side. his mother wzs a campbell and i know that we are decended from William the Conquerior. if you were at the family reunion and know our backgroung, please write. I'm 17, and my father is Johnny Ray Odom from Sacramento, CA, if that helps in identifying me. His father s Rube Sameul Odom, who passed away in October of 1997.

Hi, I was introduced to this page by my brother, Paul Odom. My dad, Eligah Odom, was born in Century, FL, where there are LOTS of Odoms.

He was married 3 times, with a total of 27 children. I know that sounds a bit much, but I well remember my dad telling that. He was the baby, born in 1906. I only remember one sister, name of L zzy.
