Hi! I am looking for any information on William Pemberton and Nancy Skaggs. They moved from Kentucky to Paris, Henry County, Tennessee in abt. 1823. Their son, John Pemberton born Oct. 11, 1811 in Adair County, Kentucky, married "A." Hill in 1831, had issue, William Carroll Pemberton in April 1, 1832 in Paris, Tennessee. I have no information on "A." Hill, but do know that she was quite young at the time of their marriage, born in 1816. They left Paris, Tennessee, by possible wagon train, into Arkansas. They had another son, James, 1835, in Arkansas. They went to Greene County, Missouri by 1836. "A." Hill died sometime in 1837 in Greene County. John remarried Clarissa Wilson, born in Tennesse, daughter of William Wilson. They moved to Caldwell County, Missouri in 1841 and stayed there until John Pemberton's death in 1900. Any information on this family would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Debbie gdkats@aol.com

Thanks for your help, my gg grandfather was born in 1869 and he died in 1938, so I wonder if the Baker's your husband knew were connected somehow to the Baker's I am looking for info on. Thanks for the names, I will check into that.

My husband grew up in Caldwell Co., KY. He said he knew a Clausine Baker and a Harry Baker in Caldwell Co. He does not believe they were related. Clausine was an attorney in Princeton, KY. and Harry left Caldwell Co. while in his 20's and moved to Paducah, KY. to work as an engineer for a railroad company. Clausine did raise a boy who would be about 65 years old today. Sorry, to say, my husband does not remember this boy's name. He said he was rather sure there were no other Baker's in Caldwell Co. during the l940's and 1950's. Hope this helps you. Carolyn Whitford

I am looking for information on my ggg grandparents Tom Buckner and Laura Williams Buckner. I believe Laura was born in TN, but I am not sure about Tom. They had two sons I know of Jesse James "J.J." Buckner and Albert Mitchell Buckner. J.J. Buckner was raised by Allen and Martha Baker in Caldwell County, KY and A.M. Buckner moved to Texas at age 3, and I believe Laura married a Grogan. I know very little about these ancestors of mine, and have only recently learned the names Tom and Laura Buckner, I also do not know why J.J. Buckner was raised by another family, although it is possible one of the Bakers was an aunt or uncle of J.J.'s. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, T. Hobgood

This was sent to me from another list... and I thought ya'all might enjoy it.. Hope so anyway. Cher http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tracers/thefunny.htm

Cacky, I'm curious. Did you find a lot of unmarked graves, or stones that were too eroded to be read? My ggrandmother , and one of her daughters, was buried in the "Paris graveyard" prior to 1839, but their names do not appear on any of the lists. Neither does another daughter buried at " Manley's Chapel ". After her death, the family left for MS, and I wonder if they just didn't neglect to erect a marker.

Hello everyone. I wish a good morning to you all! It is actually raining this morning, the first precipitation since who knows when. Below you will find a short article about a site that contains scans of some early Virginia religious petitions. Some of the original petitions have been lost over the years, but transcriptions of them have survived. I found several family surnames in some of the documents. One of them, I believe eventually moved to Dickson county. Enjoy and good luck. Stan Magnesen Yelowstone@aol.com ************* Everything below this line is a cut-and-paste from another mail list. ************* "Early Virginia Religious Petitions" is a Collaborative Project by The Library of Congress and The Library of Virginia. Quoting from the site's purpose statement: Early Virginia Religious Petitions presents images of 423 petitions submitted to the Virginia legislature between 1774 and 1802 from more than eighty counties and cities. Drawn from the Library of Virginia's Legislative Petitions collection, the petitions concern such topics as the historic debate over the separation of church and state championed by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, the rights of dissenters such as Quakers and Baptists, the sale and division of property in the established church, and the dissolution of unpopular vestries. The collection provides searchable access to the petitions' places of origin and a brief summary of each petition's contents, as well as summaries of an additional seventy-four petitions that are no longer extant. The collection complements the Library of Congress exhibition Religion and the Founding of the American Republic and is a collaborative venture between the Library of Congress and the Library of Virginia. The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its resources available and useful to Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations. The goal of the Library's National Digital Library Program is to offer broad public access to a wide range of historical and cultural documents as a contribution to education and lifelong learning. Digital collections from other institutions complement and enhance the Library's own resources. The Library of Congress presents these documents as part of the record of the past. These primary historical documents reflect the attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs of different times. The Library of Congress and the Library of Virginia do not endorse the views expressed in these collections, which may contain materials offensive to some readers. Most of the documents are from the period between the beginnings of the Revolutionary War until shortly before 1800. During this period Virginia was struggling with the issue of religious freedom and toleration.

Folks, The following are portions on an email from Dr. Brian Leverich, an owner of Rootsweb, that concerns the problems they have been experiencing with the Rootsweb search engines. Apparently the Genseeker search engine server failed and they are know in the process of replacing it. However, the reason I resent portions of his email to the list is the information he provided in section b of the 2nd paragraph, ie, "to bring a *huge* (almost on the scale of the Salt Lake City's Family History Library) amount of genealogical data online." I don't know what the "business arrangement" is or what databases they might be 'tapping' into, but knowing these guys at Rootsweb, it will be something else and you will be HAPPY..HAPPY..HAPPY !!

Stan: What a great memory of a great person! Would that we could all forget and forgive as he - would certainly be a better world to live in! But what a tragedy that people treat each other in such a manner! Jean S. ============= In a message dated 09/19/1999 11:51:34 AM US Mountain Standard Time, Stan Magnesen write: << Hello everyone!

He would always bring a paper sack full of bagels, which we called doughnuts. These were strange doughnuts...they didn't exactly taste like doughnuts....they didn't have any icing....they were a lot tougher than any doughnuts I had ever had. They did, however, look like doughnuts, and at our age that was good enough for us. Uncle Abe always told us to eat all we wanted, but save him the holes. My sister and I spent many afternoons sitting on opposite legs of Uncle Abe while he told stories and joked with us. He said that without us he would be all alone. Then, one time, when it was just me on his lap, he got quiet and told me a story. That story has stayed with me all my life. Uncle Abe told me how he lost all his family--his mother and father, brothers and sisters, wife and children were all gone. Then he showed me a tattoo on his wrist as a tear spilled from his eye. Uncle Abe was the only member of his family from Poland to survive the death camps. Everyone else died in gas chambers at a place called Auschwitz. What struck me the hardest is how a great and gentle man such as this could suffer all he did and still bring me bagels and show such unrestrained love for my family. I asked him questions that were like questions many children would ask. Who did this? Who were these mean people? Were they coming to get me? and so on. Uncle Abe told me he had forgiven those people and all they had done. It is in God's hand's now. Then I asked the real hard question....Why did these mean people do this? His stared off into space for a few moments, then said almost in a whisper..."They didn't know any better". Now, when I have dealings with those dregs of society that we all are forced to deal with--when I encounter people who lie, steal other people's property or ideas, bully, con, or hear of those who murder or violate others, I often wonder why these people do the things that they do. Then I remember Uncle Abe's words and tell myself, "They don't know any better". I think I will go have a bagel now. Copyright 1999 Stan Magnesen Yelowstone@aol.com >>

Hello Anyone researching Nathan Sparks HORNER, I found the following while researching Civil War service records on my ancestor, John Valentine HORNER, at the state archives in Nashville recently. I wish I could find such a physical description of my ancestor. Nathan Sparks HORNER: Signed oath of allegiance to the United States on 12 Feb 1865 Place of residence - Perry Co. Tenn Complexion - Fair Hair - Brown Eyes - Blue Height - 5ft. 10in. Volunteered - 9 Nov 1861 Deserted - 19 Dec 1864 Remarks - Has family Have a great day! Linda H.

That's what I thought it might refer to. With people moving around a lot, the heirs were not always about to protect their interest. This case involves land in VA and the heirs had already moved to TN & KY; some of them had been killed by indians and their heirs brought the suit after they grew up and found they'd been left out.

HarryB, Maybe he was a grave robber? Ronda

Hi, Here's a trivia question for the list. I ran across this is a deposition in an old lawsuit. "John Young, son of Jacob, was notorious for bonestealing;" Does anybody know what this means? It was a dispute over an inheritance but I don't think John Young was one of the litigants although it looks as if he might be connected to the family. HarryB
