To CComer I have just started with this line of my family and this is all I can confirm from notes left to me by my mother, Ina Atchison Yates. Ellis Taylor Presson married Catherine Spars Rushing. Their children were Mary Elizabeth, Jemima Ann, Drucilla Francis (my ggrandmother who married Robert W. Lindsey on March 29, 1856), Louisa Josephine, And William Asbury Newton. I do however have a book called 'The Presson Family in the South' pub. 1974. It has several Rushing's listed in the index. They are: Able, B.D.(Beedie), Caroline,Catherine Spars, Elisa Jane, Francis M., J.D., John,Jonathan,Lewis, Lou,Louisa, Mary, N.(orH)A.L., Talitha, Tobe, and W.J. If you connect to any of them please email me privately and I will look up 'your' Rushing. >From: CComer3992@aol.com >Reply-To: DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com >To: DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: 'Outlaw' Family of Stewart Co. >Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 10:40:48 EST > > Do you have any thing on Peter Rushing .was father of James K.

David congradulations on your new granddaughter. It is kinda obvious you are a very proud grandpa!!! You're a lucky man! And I am loving everything you are posting. It is great reading. Jan, if you know something about the Outlaws of Stewart County, could you please add mine to the list. She is Tennessee Stockdale Outlaw. My Tennessee Outlaw married Benjamin Outlaw (b. Jan 26, 1879 d. Feb 21, 1916) He was son of Seth and Sally McCloud Outlaw who married on March 15, 1877 at the family home on Cane Creek. I believe her to be one of the Benton-Henry Co. Stockdale's since I found a grave in Stockdale Cemetery located on Lick Creek, near the Lick Creek Landing. The info said this could be either Benton or Henry County so I really am not sure where to search. This is what I got from the cemetery listing: B. F. OUTLAW 26 Jan. 1879 21 Feb. 1916 TENNIE H. OUTLAW (Mrs.) 05 Nov. 1874 25 Oct. 1957 There were so many Stockdale's in that cemetery surely some of their heirs must still be around somewhere. A distant cousin, who referred to her as 'Aunt Tennie', told me she thinks Tennessee Stockdale Outlaw was from the Big Sandy area. Unfortunately I have not been to Benton County in many years and am forgetting what was where in this area. Any info on my Tennessee Stockdale Outlaw would make my Christmas very merry indeed!!! I am also researching the following families in the Benton County area: Atchison, Lindsey, Presson, Rushing and Brewer. I am the daughter of one of the "Atchison twins'. I'm sure someone out there will remember them...Ina and Iva. I am Ina's daughter. She married Aubra Yates of McKinnon on Oct. 31,1937. My mother Ina Atchison Yates was born on June 20, 1919 and died in Carriere Ms on August 9, 1997. She is buried at Cane Creek Cememtery outside McKinnon Tn. Ina was the daughter of Charles Franklin Atchison (b. March 25, 1896 d.September 26, 1949) and Cora Ellen Lindsey (b.9-18-1891 d. 9-1-1926). All my life I heard that I had Indian blood from both sides of my family. Since I can't get a lead on who the Indian was in my Outlaw family, does anyone have an idea where the Indian came from in the Lindsey-Atchison line? I am thinking it has to be the Lindsey side but am not completely sure. All I do know is that when mama worked in the garden for any period of time, she turned the most beautiful shade of reddish bronze. I was always jealous of that since I turned into one big freckle!! Another thing I am curious about is Grandma Lindsey. I remember stories that she was one of the 'money lenders' in Benton County. I was told that when someone went to her to borrow money, she said 'Come back in a half hour'. When they came back, the money was waiting for them. As the story goes, the money was buried somewhere on the old Lindsey farm but no one ever found it after her death...and several of my cousins did try!!! Can anyone add anything to this? It would be a great story to pass down to my grandchildren if I can find anything that might confirm it as truth. Merry Christmas to everyone on the Danville Crossing mailing list and especially to all my longlost cousins that I know are out there...somewhere...

Please ignore this message......it's a test so that I can delete 'inactive' subscribers from the list. for those of you who want to know.........the Rootsweb servers are not automatically eliminating 'dead' email addresses from the List and I have been getting 'bounced' messages upto 25 times from some 'dead' email accounts (that's from folks who no-longer have current email accounts at the address from which they subscribe to this List from..,ei, they changed email address, didn't pay their ISP accounts, whatever........)....... I'm just trying to identify who they are and remove their sorry asses from this list.......so that I don't get 100 'bounce' replies when somebody posts an email to this LIST.... Happy now.......go to bed.....which is what I'm going to do shortly after this email is posted and I get the offending email addresses.
Donna, Glad to 'here' from you.......and 'Thanks'. Jan........you still out 'fishing' ..or are going to be mad at me forever....???? Help these folks.......you have the answers......I can do it...so can you...Cheryl sat at this screen......hell, in this chair.......come-on....help these folks !!!!! Donna, if you're a BREWER, then Ben can help you (and we're kin). In the Benton Co. Library, you will find a book dedicated to the BREWERS written by Ben Brewer who is on this List (from the BEGINNING that is). Ben's the 'Silent Type'....Need to ask him directly...I've probably pissed him off over the years.....but when it comes to Brewers, NOBODY knows more about them than him. Talk to her, Ben.

Leona Wheatley, b. 1871, d. 1880 Benton Co., anyone know which Wheatley family she belongs to? Gena
Brenda, Apologies for referring to you as 'boy'.....call our youngest, Brittany Janielle, "BJ", and know how she hates it (didn't think very hard as parents when we started calling her that.......love her very much.) Your 'Outlaws" were very prominent in Stewart Co.......They had a Hotel in the area......Ira sent me pictures of it. I posted them on the Web a number of years ago - they may be in the Stewart County website still. Talk to Jan in Stewart Co. (if she ever gets out of her rocking chair......us 'old folks' have a tendancy to do that.....except she goes fishing alot......but we're not as bad as Ira - who plays with trains all day). Keep in touch......(that is.....let me know if they're responding to your inquiries).....if not......we'll get Cheryl from Dickson Co. on them...

Congratulations David on your new granddaughter - I bet she is truly beautiful.

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to my grand-daughter (so some of you can fill-in your gen charts.....the others......you can fall-off the 'face-off-the-face-of-the-earth' for all I care...).. She is: Izabell McKenzie Snow, b. 11-14-01 in Maricopa County, Arizona daughter of Ashley Danielle Snow (b. 1-19-82 , Ciudad Victoria, Mexico), adopted daughter of David L. Snow and Deborah Ann McKenzie (Henry County, TN b. 1-15-50, to Ralph McKenzie and Hazel Gladys Dortch). If you go to the Family TreeMaker Website, you'll find where she 'fits' in the history of Stewart, Houston, Humphreys, Henry and Benton Counties.....Look-up the David L. Snow site (along with Pierces, and whoever in N. Benton Co, and Henry). I've already posted it long ago. Most of you will find some of your ancestors in the Family Tree....... Add HER to your your charts......please... Dave ==== DanvilleCrossing Mailing List ==== What do you mean my Birth Certificate expired ???
