In autosomal there is a large number of matches within a extend family that includes Amason name and of South Carolina and Georgia. The y-DNA is E1b (specifics available) a very old y-DNA group from early Europe and with many famous relatives as all haplogroups do. Obituary of son Benjamin Olive Stripling from my dear cousin and his research, James Stripling Stewart. Benjamin was a Methodist preacher. DEATH AND OBITUARY NOTICES FROM THE SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, 1867-1878 Aug. 12, 1870 "Reverand B. O. Striplin was born on the 15th of August 1788 in York District, South Carolina, and died 19th June 1870, in Cleberne County, Alabama. He returned to his native State where he married to Miss Elizabeth R. Steward, who proceded him to the Glory World many years ago." Taken from Randolph County, Alabama, Sixty Two Years Ago The Red Man's Home, The White Man's Eden by J.M.K. Guinn 1894-1896 "Rev. Ben Striplin, Uncle Ben, and he was usually called, and an indispensable necessity at camp meetings. Father lived at Chulafinnee in 1842, and I remember as if it were yesterday, MOther took me with her to camp meetings the stand had been burned down and a new one raised on the same spot, but by some oversight the charcoal and ashes had not been properly cleaned off before services began. It was on Friday when mother and I got there. We took dinner at Dr. John Wesley Hudson's tent,and at the afternoon services we were in attendance. Services had, however, been going on for a day or two previously and were seemingly cold and discouraging; notwithstanding the warm zeal and earnest pleas of the preacher it would have passed for a Quaker meeting. The ministers and tenters could be seen gathered in groups earnestly engaged in conversation. There were all kinds of surmising as to the cause and as many theories for resuscitating Methodist zeal and activity. Mother was one of those persons who believed that "where there is a will there is generally a way," and as she used to say; "I never cross a bridge until I get to it." I heard her laughingly say to Dr. Hudson: "Just put Uncle Ben Striplin up this evening and you will see your troubles removed and Methodists go to work." Uncle Ben was put up, took his text and in a few minutes warmed up, and with a voice that echoed from hill to hill, said: "What, a thousand souls going to hell for the want of a little straw, brethern?" Suffice it to say, that evening before sun-down, which was Friday wagons with great loads of straw rolled in, and that night the alter was filled with shouting Methodists and converts, and such clapping of hands, shouting, singing, praying hallelujah, with tears trickling down the cheeks of Uncle Ben as he stood in the pulpit looking down in the altar, the writer hopes never to forget." more,,,
