SNGF – How I Use AI Tools

It’s time for this week’s Saturday Night Genealogy Fun.  Tonight Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings has given us the following topic:

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1)  How do you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to help you understand the lives, history, and geography associated with your family and your ancestors, that aid your genealogy and family history research?  

2)  Please share the ways (at least one way!) that you use AI tools in your genealogy and family history research. 

3)  Share the ways you use AI in your genealogy and family history work in own blog post…”

One of the main ways that I use AI is to edit and revise rough drafts of blog posts. Since I am in the Google ecosystem (Android phone, chromebook) I use the Google AI review in addition to Google to find sources.  My go-to AI is Gemini Notebook, which is used to draft biographical sketches based on my research notes.  

My favorite AI is “Sam, the Digital Archivist,” a custom AI chatbot at ChatGPT. Sam is great at advising how to write engaging stories and using provided sources to write biographies.

The most useful research AI tool is the FamilySearch full-text search. It is a real game-changer in finding sources.

 Ancestry has some AI features like “LifeStory,” “AI Stories,” and some blurbs that add context to sources. They are a good jumping off point to do social history research.

A Life Turning Point

Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings has chosen the following topic for our Saturday Night Genealogy Fun:

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

  1. Every historical person has major events, milestones and “turning points” in their life, from birth through death and even beyond. These events, milestones and turning points can be the basis for family stories of the historical person.
  2. Please share one of those events in your own life, or the life of one of your ancestors.
  3. Share your information about your major event, milestone or turning point in your own blog post,…”

A major event in my life occurred on 30 August 1986, my wedding day. Some atypical highlights of the day were:

  • One of the groomsmen was a no-show.
  • My (future) sister-in-law had to do an emergency alteration to take in a bridesmaid dress.
  • When the pianist started playing “Bridal Chorus” my father froze in place.  When we didn’t start down the aisle, the pianist started the intro again. My father remained rooted to the spot. The minister, groom and best man were staring and starting to look perturbed.  The third time the pianist started the intro I started dragging my father down the aisle of the church. He was heavy, my bouquet was heavy, but I was bound and determined to get down that aisle! Fortunately my father quickly got over his “stage-fright” and walked me down the aisle.
  • Our wedding cake looked traditional on the outside, but inside it was a spice cake.  When the cake was cut its appearance disturbed the lady who was supposed to help serve the cake so much that she quickly exited the reception.  My cousin Aline and some other guests stepped up and took over cutting and serving the cake.
  • The bouquet was caught by my Gen X cousin. She used her volleyball skills to beat out all the Jones Gen gals.

Throughout all of the mini-disasters that occurred on that day, we kept our eyes on the prize. Looking back, I cannot think of any other major event in my life that tops my wedding day.

A Spot on the Map

Land has been tied throughout history to a place to dwell securely. For my 2nd great-grandparents, Mingo and Jane (Salter) Bryant, a single spot on the map represented their progression from being considered chattel property and owning property.

Mingo Bryant was born into enslavement in Georgia around 1823; his exact birthplace remains unknown.1 In January 1848, Mingo was included as chattel property in the estate of Echols Hightower, late of Dooly County, Georgia. Mingo was passed on to Henry A. Hightower, son of the deceased, in the estate distribution.2 Six years later, in 1854, the life of Mingo took a sudden turn when Henry A. Hightower migrated from Dooly County to Early County, Georgia.

Early County, Georgia

Henry A. Hightower purchased rich cotton land along a tributary creek in District 6, Early County, Georgia. The 1860 U.S. census documented 39 enslaved individuals on Henry A. Hightower’s plantation.3 In December 1860, Henry A. Hightower died intestate. An agreement was made in 1861 for Henry’s brother-in-law and neighbor, James Salter, to work the plantation for the remainder of the year.4 The land lots of the estate were sold to James Freeman, the new husband of Henry’s widow.5 

In February 1862, the enslaved people in the estate of Henry A. Hightower were distributed by the drawing of lots by the heirs-at-law. Mingo was among the enslaved people allotted to Elizabeth A. Hightower, a minor daughter of the deceased enslaver.6 Soon after, James Freeman, step-father and guardian of the two minor Hightower daughters, deeded the land lots of the estate to the girls. The minors’ estate also included thirteen enslaved people, including Mingo.7 This legal transaction kept Mingo bound to a specific spot on the map.

From Bondage to Land Ownership

The end of the Civil War brought emancipation and freedom to replace a surname given by a former enslaver. Mingo and his family selected the surname of Bryant. Instead of leaving the region, Mingo Bryant and his family chose to build their life as free people in the same area where they had been enslaved.

Mingo Bryant’s name appeared on the 1869 voters list for Georgia Militia District 854 in Damascus, Early County.8 In the 1870 U.S. Census, Mingo and his family were recorded living in District 6.9 Throughout the 1870s, Mingo Bryant appeared in the local tax digests, paying poll tax and tax on his meager personal estate.10

Then, in 1879, Mingo achieved what would have seemed impossible a decade earlier. He began paying taxes on 250 acres of real estate in District 6, specifically land lot 223.11 By 1880, the U.S. Census agricultural schedule listed “Mingus” Bryant as the owner of 75 tilled acres and 150 woodland acres, with a farm valued at $450.12 The location of the land bordered the plantations where Mingo had been held in bondage.

In Figure 2, Henry A. Hightower owned land lots 64, 97, 103, 104, 106, 137, and 139 (highlighted in yellow). James Salter owned nearby land lots 144, 145, 146, 175, 176, 177, 185, and 186 (highlighted in light blue). The land lot worked by Mingo Bryant is outlined in blue.

Figure 2. Land Lot Map of Early County Georgia:  Each square is a land lot containing 250 acres.
Georgia Landlots and Militia Districts – Landlots.

Mingo Bryant died between 1884 and 1885. His widow, Jane Bryant, paid taxes on 180 acres of land lot 223 in 1885. The following year, she began paying taxes on 100 acres of the adjacent land lot 218.13 In Figure 2 this land lot is outlined in red. The reason for the change in land lots is unknown.

In March 1889, Jane purchased 50 acres off the north side of land lot 218 for $100 from T. E. Hightower and J. H. Hightower. The grantors were likely Thomas Echols Hightower and John H. Hightower, nephew and son respectively of Mingo’s former enslaver, Henry A. Hightower. It is interesting to note that the deed was not recorded until December 1892.14

The land deeded to Jane Bryant remained in the family until January 1945, when it was the subject of an administrator’s sale. The legal newspaper notice stated in part, “…described lands of the estate of Jane Bryant, deceased: Twenty acres of land off of the east end of fifty acres extending across the north side of lot No. 218 in the 6th district of Early County…”15

The story of Mingo and Jane Bryant is a testament to their quiet determination to own a spot on the map.

Longlasting – 52 Ancestors

Long-lasting is defined by Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “existing or continuing for a long time”. This adjective describes the union of Thomas Jefferson Guice and Minnie Elizabeth Waters that lasted more than 72 years. Long-lasting also describes their careers that spanned 40 plus years each.

The Beginning

The journey of Thomas and Minnie began in 1912 at Tuskegee Institute (now University) in Macon County, Alabama.  Minnie Elizabeth Waters left her home in Earlington, Kentucky in 1911 to attend Tuskegee.1  In 1912 Thomas Jefferson Guice from Mount Andrew, Barbour County, Alabama entered Tuskegee.  Minnie and Thomas  are listed as students between 1912 and 1915.2, 3 The young lady from Kentucky and the young man from Alabama became friends, and their friendship evolved into a lifelong partnership.

Minnie E. Waters completed the course at Tuskegee in June 1915 and returned home for the summer.4  Thomas also completed the three year Blacksmith program at Tuskegee in 1915. The highlight of his training was shoeing the horse of Tuskegee’s president, Booker T. Washington.5

Commitment

Thomas and Minnie were married in Montgomery, Alabama on 2 September 1915.6  The newspaper in Minnie’s hometown published the following announcement:

“Miss Minnie Waters, of this city and Thomas Guice of Mt. Andrew, Ala. were quietly married in Montgomery Ala. the 2nd of this month.”7 

Their first child, Tommie Gwendolyn, was born the following year in Mount Andrew.8

By 1917, Thomas, Minnie, and their infant daughter had moved to Birmingham, Alabama.  Thomas quickly established himself as a blacksmith. Over the next decade, Thomas and Minnie expanded their family to include six children: Tommie, Reginald, LaVerne, Neva, Jarvis, and Gaynell.

Careers

Thomas Jefferson Guice worked as a blacksmith for over 40 years .  The 1917 Birmingham city directory listed him as a partner in Guice & Jones blacksmith shop.9  Thomas was employed by Crause-Crawford Mfg. Co. as a blacksmith when he registered for the World War I Draft in June 1917.  He claimed an exemption from the draft based on “doing government work”.10  In 1924 Thomas J. Guice was employed as a blacksmith with the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway Company (also known as SLSF or Frisco Lines) in Birmingham.11  He retired after 37 years as a blacksmith with the Frisco Railroad.12

Minnie Waters Guice was an elementary teacher and reading specialist. A highlight of her career came in 1966 when she was selected as her school’s Teacher of the Year.13 Minnie retired after 41 years with the Birmingham Public school system.14

The Final Chapter

On 16 May 1988, Minnie Elizabeth Waters Guice departed this life at the age of 92. She left to mourn her husband of 72 years 8 months, and their five children.15

Six weeks later, on  27 June 1988, Thomas Jefferson Guice, age 95, followed his wife into death.16

Thomas Jefferson Guice (1893-1988) was my husband’s granduncle.

SNGF – An Ancestor’s School Records

Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings has reminded us that it’s time for some Saturday Night Genealogy Fun.  Tonight’s theme is courtesy of Lisa S. Gorrell.  

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1) Do you have any records of your ancestors’ schooling, such as report cards, yearbooks, or photos?

2)  If so, please share one of them and what you learned about your ancestor(s) from the article.  

2)  Share your information about your newspaper article in your own blog post,…”

This is a photo of my father, Daniel R. Salter, when he received his Master’s degree from Tuskegee Institute in 1952.


52 Ancestors – Multiples

Mingo and Jane (Salter) Bryant are my paternal 2nd great-grandparents. They were born as enslaved people in Georgia. When freedom arrived, Mingo Bryant and his family remained in Early County, Georgia.

Mingo and Jane had eleven known children: Sam, born in 1852; Peter, born in 1856; Elbert, born in 1860; Mingus, born in 1864; Lucy, born in 1867; Edmond, born in 1870; Henry, born in 1872; Lucinda “Cinda”, born ca. 1873; Roxanne, born in 1874; John, born in 1877; and Exie, born in 1880.

Convention wisdom regarded children of farmers and sharecroppers as economic assets in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The economic survival of small farms depended on having all available family members working the land. This is illustrated in the 1870 census where Mingo, Jane, and sons, Sam (age 15), Peter (age 13) and Elbert (age 11) were listed as “Farm laborer”. None of the children attended school revealing that labor took precedence over formal education.1

By 1879, Mingo had acquired 250 acres of land.2 In the 1880 census Mingo was recorded as “Farmer”, reflecting his status as a landowner. Jane, and their children, Mingus (age 17), Lucy (age 15), “Edmun” (age 11), and Henry (age 9) were classed as “field hands”. The record shows that “Edmun” and Henry attended school and could read.3

Second Generation Farming Families

The children of Mingo and Jane continued laboring in the fields. They married and went on to establish large multi-child households of their own:

Sam and Mary (Batts) Bryant had 13 known children.
Peter and Caidian (Jackson) Bryant had 10 known children.
Elbert and Rachel (Hallman) Bryant had 9 known children.
Mingus and Sylvia (Sheffield) Bryant had 10 known children.
Frank and Lucy (Bryant) Sapp had 10 known children.
Edmund and Hattie (Cratic) Bryant had 9 known children.
James W. and Lucinda (Bryant) Walker had 3 known children.
Henry and Alice (Fuller) Bryant had 14 known children.
John and Roxanne (Bryant) Salter had 7 known children.*
John and Lula (Hall) Bryant had 5 known children.
Thomas and Exie (Bryant) Hopkins had 5 known children.

*In the 1910 census my paternal great-grandmother, Roxanne “Roxey” (Bryant) Salter reported the births of 11 children, but only 6 were living at the time.4

My paternal grandfather, Frank Salter (1898-1982), recalled that he had to quit school after finishing the third grade in order to work in the fields with his father.  The 1910 records show that at age ten, Frank Salter was indeed working full-time as a farm laborer.  It is a poignant example of the connection between a farmer with multiple children laboring in the field and economic survival.
