The following people had used the book: Tommy Spear - Apparently 1950 when it was new Alma Latimer - 1951 - 1952 Barbara Orr - 1953 - 1954 - Barbara is my second cousin There were a couple of other names but it appeared they had been erased. Inside the book, there was a folded piece of what we used to call "tablet paper". It belonged to "ROBERTA CLEMENTS" - she had done three colums of 2's and 3's multiplication. I would love to return the paper to her if anyone knows who she is and where she lives. Needless to say, the paper is getting brittle but is still in good conditon. Thanks for your assistance.

Clarence & Beulah must be married. "Gustie", 13, is still home. Tollie, 9, could be John A. & Dora's as she was born before Dora's death in 1915. The other two children don't make sense. There is a Rosa, 14, and Mary, 12. Are they Annie's by her previous husband? (Next door is her dtr Pearl Pulliam, 19, a widow with a small son.) Does anyone know who Rosa & Mary are?

carpenter & webb, no. parks, sort of. my mother's maiden name was PARK (no s). her uncle arthur park married sallie parks. to my knowledge, that's the only connection between the park and parks families of clay county. scot -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 12:42 PM Subject: Re: ARCLAY clay county web site Scot, do you have a connection to Carpenters , Parks or Webbs?....you name looks familiar......MJ ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

thank you, betty. i'll try my best. i love clay county, and whenever i visit my family in the memphis area i try to make a trip up to corning/heelstring. funny story -- i have an older brother who has always pooh-poohed my interest in genealogy. last spring, when my parents were unable to make the drive from memphis to corning, my brother & his wife drove me up. we got to corning about an hour earlier than planned, so we went to richwoods cemetery where our grandparents are buried. the last time he & i were there together was in 1971 when our grandfather died. naturally, he started asking me where various other relatives were buried, so i showed him their tombstones. along the way, i pointed out countless others that are connected to our family. at first, he started making jokes about how it seemed the entire county is related to us. but when we got back into the car he was visibly moved by the experience. he came to realize that our history with that area goes back nearly 180 years. i think he gained a bit of respect for genealogy. scot -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 8:22 AM Subject: Re: ARCLAY clay county web site Scott, I want to welcome you as the new Clay County coordinator.
