Greetings and salutations! My Brother, Parents, and Grandparents live in Tennille. If you need any info on Tennille or the cemeteries there, I have some good sources. The two cemeteries in Tennille are both very small. I understand that there are some folks buried there that do not have headstones, but I'm sure I can have current info verified if needed. Everyone has been so helpful to me, I am hoping that I might be able to help return a favor. DEO VINDICE!

Sabrina, I agree w/ Richard; there is a person over in Pike who publishes books of newspaper excerpts and sells them; I do notice as Richard indicated, the source and date is noted in the books. Deo Vindice, Homer

List, I have only two questions!! Can I scan (or print) some pages from the Clio Free Press newspaper (1911) and submit it to the Barbour County Web page? Is this against copy right laws? Thanks, Sabrina

Richard, Sorry, none there. Deo Vindice, Homer

Richard, Put on my glasses and Tennille is on CR 59 vice 69...sorry 'bout that; two cemeteries there, think I have the listings, if I can help. Deo Vindice, Homer

Richard, Tennille is a wide place in the road down in the extreme SE corner of Pike County; on CR 69 about a half mile from the Dale line to the south and about two miles from the Barbour line to the east; a church, a slaughter house and just a few houses, kinda quaint. Deo Vindice, Homer

Sabrina, I believe that as long as you identify the source, (as in the name of the paper), newspapers are fair game and may be reprinted. Richard SOS 6-3

Appreciate it much, Homer. Richard SOS 6-3

Homer, My ancestor died at Tennile but is buried at Elam Baptist. Are there any Dansbys in the cemeteries you mentioned? Richard Price SOS 6-3

Thanks Homer, Thought it was in that part of the country but wasn't sure exactly where. Richard Price SOS 6-3

Mt Zion Baptist Church is right there at Tennile just off 231.

Terri, Not a day passes by that I don't find at least one sad story; thats probably what slows me down so much. Just looking at Midway, and five other sons of Necy and Rebecca Lewis who served are buried there. Thanks, Deo Vindice, Homer

Terri, Yes I have Lewis Cemetery; that is Elias Lewis, 1841-d. of disease at Montgomery May 19, 1862; son of Necy and Rebecca Lewis; he also has a marker at Midway; its liikely that Necy served as Corp, Co C, 3d Ala Reserves; there was a N.A. Lewis, enlisted at Enon in the 45th and rose to the rank of Lt before war's end, but have not been able to locate him; he was last heard of in hospital at Atlanta; almost forgot: Elias served as Pvt, Co G, 29th Ala Inf. Thanks much, Deo Vindice, Homer

Homer, Don't really know about the relationship of all those THORNTONs. There were not that many THORNTONs in Barbour, so they could have been related. I believe William Horatio THORNTON, married to Mary B. SHORTER had four daughters: Mary R., Laura V., Anna, and Sallie, and a son, Willie, born c. 1858. I believe he also might have had two brothers with him in 1850: Edward Q., born c. 1831, and Joseph, born c. 1847. Very sad about William dying so soon after arriving home. So many sad stories. And... I guess the best way to consider your "burials" is as a "living" document. I have hopes that facts will turn up everyday until they all are accounted for.

Homer, There is a Lewis Family cemetery in Bullock (once Barbour)- on north side of Co Hwy 14, .6 miles West of Intersection with Hwy 51. Do you have this one? Has at least one possible CSA veteran - Elias - although is May 1862 really too early? Possibly also Necy, Sr. However, Necy LEWIS had several sons of age. Several of them apparantly died in childhood. I have trouble to figure out between the 1850 and 1860 census - who is who.
