<snip> " Palestine (historical) TN Lewis populated place 353551N 0872718W Gordonsburg" Thanks Sandra, Mike and another poster that left no name. The area of Gordonsburg would match just fine with the other places mentioned in the diary. None of the maps including a 7 1/2 minute quadrangle show a place by that name.
