MY SELFS
JOHN SELF, m. SUSAN JANE POATS 24 DECEMBER 1861 (HIS 3RD WIFE), FATHER OF COLEMAN SELF, LEWIS C. SELF, WALTER FRANKLIN SELF (MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER), AND VIRGINIA SELF. COLEMAN PROBABLY DIED VERY YOUNG AS HE NEVER SHOWS UP IN ANY CENSUS AFTER HIS BIRTH WAS RECORDED. WE ARE SEARCHING FOR DESCEDENTS OF LEWIS C. SELF AND VIRGINIA SELF. WE HAVE NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON THEM AFTER THE 1880 CENSUS WHEN THEY WERE TEENS IN THE HOUSEHOLD OF MARK BOULWARE AND SUSAN JANE POATS SELF BOULWARE

MY SELF RESEARCH
MOM AND I
HAVE BEEN COMPILING SELF GENEALOGY FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. WE
RECENTLY BROKE THROUGH THE JOHN SELF 'BRICK WALL' AS A RESULT OF THE
SELF FAMILY REUNION IN VIRGINIA A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN WE REALIZED THAT
THE JOHN SELF (m. SUSAN JANE POATS) WHO WAS MY 2ND
GREAT-GRANDFATHER (VERIFIED BY A HAND WRITTEN, UN-INDEXED MARRIAGE
REGISTER IN THE CAROLINE COUNTRY COURTHOUSE, VA) WAS MOST
PROBABLY THE SAME PERSON AS JOHN ANDERSON SELF II. JOHN ANDERSON
SELF II'S FIRST TWO WIVES WERE JANE EDWARDS (m. 13 DECEMBER 1824) AND
MARY "POLLY" ALLPOORT (m. 21 DECEMBER 1830). HE APPEARED UNABLE
TO GET THROUGH THE WINTER WITHOUT A WIFE ;-) SERIOUSLY, AND MOST
UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NO ABSOLUTE PROOF OF THIS, ONLY SEVERAL LINES OF
EVIDENCE, WHICH ALL ADD UP TO THIS JOHN SELF AS THE ONLY POSSIBLE JOHN
SELF THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED. AND WE'VE FOLLOWED EVERY OTHER
JOHN SELF EVER FOUND IN CAROLINE COUNTY TO OTHER LINES.
WE HAVE
JOHN ANDERSON SELF II AS THE SON OF JOHN SELF (m. AGGY BOWLER
OR ?BOULWARE), SON OF JOHN B. SELF (m. SARAH HARRIS), SON OF
WILLIAM SELF (m. TABITHA) FROM ANOTHER RESEARCHER, WE HAVE NOT
PERSONALLY VERIFIED ANY OF THESE EARLIER CONNECTIONS, YET.
