Ray, Ancestry.com has just put the 1870 Haywood County, TN Census Images online. They do not yet have Lauderdale. They have to be browsed, page by page and each page takes about a minute to load. If you have an index and can narrow the search somewhat, I'd be happy to look for you. Just knowing the district would save hours. Peggy

Looking for anyone who has access to actual census (not just index) of 1870 census for these TN counties. Thanks - Ray Ray Horton sunray@erie.net

Some time ago in" Tennessee Trailings" in the Paris newspaper , David Webb of Mansfield wrote of a skirmish between some returning Confederate soldiers and a group of ruffians in the town of Paris. Mentioned in that article was Pudd DIGGS. Does anyone have any information on Mr. DIGGS ? I am not interested in genealogical info because he was no kin to me. I just know he was an outlaw in the Paris and Murray Ky. area during the War of Northern Aggression and was hung in Murray sometime after the war. Being that this is not a genealogical question and not wanting to offend anyone, please answer this query privately . Thank you . K. H. Graham

Pardon me for being off topic, but I thought this would be worth sharing widely ----- Original Message ----- Just received this report from a friend. Thought you would be encouraged. ________________ Hello Dear Friends, I heard such a wonderful thing at church today that I knew I would have to share it with you all. Most of you already know that our pastor is Max Lucado, a Christian author who is very popular for his many wonderful books about the Lord. This week, Max was invited (along with several other famous preachers) to have lunch at the White House with President Bush. Their meeting took place on Thursday and Max shared with us this morning how it had gone. As the ministers sat down to lunch and waited for President Bush to appear, Max said that he was expecting G.W. to walk in the room looking tired, serious, and depressed. When the President came in, Max said he looked totally the opposite of tired: he was energetic, joyful, and very focused on his talk with the ministers. Max asked President Bush how he could seem so calm and peaceful in the midst of all the tragedy. The President's reply was, "I'm feeling stronger now than I've ever been in my life. And the reason is because every person in America is praying for me. When I stay on my knees, that's when I have power." The ministers then asked the President how he would like them to pray for him, and how their congregations back home should be praying. Mr. Bush asked, first, for clarity of mind so that he could make wise decisions, and then he asked that we pray specifically for his wife and two daughters, as he is very concerned about their safety. I knew that you would be as encouraged as I was to hear about this meeting. We must thank God that we have a President who loves and fears the Lord. No human leader is perfect, but God is perfect, so let's keep President Bush lifted up in prayer before the Father.

Brenda, your names are not familiar, but that does not mean they are not connected. The father of the five Campbells listed, was Edward Campbell b 1746. He was on the 1790 census in Cumberland Co., NC. That is the first record of him in America. I don't know how he got into the middle of NC, and do not know who his parents were, where they came from or any siblings for 'old' Edward. Do you have anything in your line this far back? or that connects to 'old' Edward? I would be interested in who ever goes further back in your line and where they came from. It may give me some clues to look for. Thanks for answering.

>From THE RED SKELTON HOUR, CBS TV, January 14, 1969 COPYRIGHT 1969 RICHARD RED SKELTON RED SKELTON: "I remember this one teacher. To me, he was the greatest teacher, a real sage of my time. He had such wisdom. We were all reciting the Pledge Of Allegiance and he walked over. Mr. Lasswell was his name... He said": "I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge Of Allegiance all semester and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it and try to explain to you the meaning of each word: "I" - me, an individual, a committee of one. "Pledge" - dedicate all my worldly goods to give without self-pity. "Allegiance" - My love and my devotion. "To the Flag" - our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there is respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job. "Of the United" - that means that we have all come together. "States" - individual communities that have united into 50 great states. 50 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that's love for country. "Of America ." "And to the Republic" - a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. "For which it stands ." "One nation" - one People, many colors, united by a common vision of freedom and the blessings of Liberty. "Under God" - meaning, so blessed by God, no matter which of the many names His children call Him. "Indivisible" - incapable of being divided. "With Liberty" - which is freedom and the right of power to live one's own life without threats or fear or some sort of retaliation. "And Justice" - The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others. "For all" - which means it's as much your country as it is mine." ­.

I do not know what all the fuss is about. Apparently this is one of the e-mails I deleted because the subject line made me think it was one I had no interest in. No, I do not want anyone to forward that e-mail to me or explain what was said in it. I am happy to bask in my ignorance. However, I would like for those who were offended to unsubcribe or delete any message from DC, and not subject the rest of us to your opinion of the list owner. Now is a time for HEALING. Not only for the nation but for this list. Neal Glasgow

I agree with: Wilma Moore Sanford Marietta Sexton Lucille Brown and any others who feel that this list doesn't need to be shut down. We are family and we are all grown enough to delete what we don't want to read; to stand beside those in pain if we so choose; to unsubscribe if we don't want to participate anymore - BUT PLEASE don't shut down this list.

Everyone that subscribes to a Rootsweb list probably followed directions provided by Rootweb. They were also sent a "welcome" message that also told how to unsubscribe. A couple of days ago, Phyllis sent very explicit instructions of how to unsubscribe from this list. It's evident that some people simply aren't taking time to read the messages---even when Phyllis changed the subject line to let people know she was giving instructions to unsubscribe! For those that insist on letting us know they want to unsubscribe------WE CAN NOT UNSUBSCRIBE YOU!!! You were smart enough to follow directions to subscribe so why do you have a problem following similar directions to unsubscribe? Here is Phyllis' message (again)----PLEASE READ IT and follow the directions. ****************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phyllis Arbogast" <shelties@erinet.com> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 8:36 PM Subject: Please read. how to unsubscribe. I am sure that all of us do now wish to know who is unsubscribing from this list. So I am sending directions, ones that came on your first sign-up letter and also are listed at the rootsweb main page. Here goes. 1. Address an e-mail to DanvilleCrossing-L-request@rootsweb.com. 2. On the subject line- the one that you write a word or two about what your e-mail is about, type the word "unsubscribe" but without the quote " marks. 3. In the main section ( the big white part you write on ) type only the word "unsubscribe" again without the ". 4. Click on the word "send". 5. After a few minutes recheck your mail and you should have a message from rootsweb telling you that you have successfully been unsubscribed from this list. You will then be unsubscribed from this list. You will no longer be subject to the many letters from helpful people, who are on this list to help others as well as themselves. Dave is a big part of this list, but a small part of the trash. All of his letters could have just been deleted. I would imagine that you read ALL of his letter before you chose to unsubscribe. Most of who are staying on the list only read a line or two and realized the letters were not for our taste and just deleted them. Though I am not saying it is right, in our world we are going to hear much worse than what Dave has to say. TV, books, movies and everyday conversations give the same kind of talk daily, pity there is no place for them to unsubscribe. Wait there is, but death is so lonesome.
