Debbie, Where is the Baggett reunion going to be at? Lola

I just spoke with Elsie Baggett Smith and she is asking for anyone coming to the Baggett reunion on Sept. 27th to please bring chairs and tables if you can. Remember all Baggetts and Baggett descendents, researchers and friends are welcome. Thank You Debbie McMinn

Shirley: I just spoke to my Lady in Paris last night. She has a name of a lady in Memphis who is researching those pesky Princes (VBG). I will get it for you this week end when I am in Paris and will be emailing you with the information the first of next week. However, since it will contain personal information, please e mail me back so I can get your private e address. I lost it this week when I was sorting things out. Marsha

Carolyn, I have been to the Browning Library. They have just remodeled a llittle bit. They do have other Counties besides Carroll. I beleive they even have some things on a few of the surrounding states. They have microfilm and a couple of computers, although you are limited to your time on the computers, as it is in most libraries. When you have time you should stop and check it out. The librarian is very helpful. Ronda

I, too, have a problem with getting to the places where the original documents are stored. I have MS and live approx. 90 miles from the nearest FHC and I, therefore, have to depend to some extent on the kind hearted people I encounter on the internet to help me with my work. I have "met" many kind and informed people who have helped me and I sincerely hope I have not failed to thank them individually. My genealogy work is mostly for my own information and am glad to receive any information or clues to my elusive ancestors. Again, thanks to anyone I might have inadvertently missed. B.J. (Massey) Clay

Yes, I've been to the Gordon Browning library. Although I partial to Benton County I find the GBM to be one of the best in the area with information from various locations.

Can anyone on the list help this lady? I have a Pleasant HUDSON in my files, but I don't think he is the same one she is looking for. Jean S. ====== Subj: HUDSON - Benton and Henry Cty, TN Date: 08/28/1999 1:27:36 AM US Mountain Standard Time From: conralfr@isu.edu (Alfred R. Conroy) Reply-to: conralfr@isu.edu To: Zojea@aol.com Hello Jean, I saw your query on Benton County's page and wondered if you could help me connect my g-g-grandfather Pleas HUDSON born in Henry County, TN to any of the HUDSON'S in Benton County? I am trying to find a HUDSON connection between Benton and Henry County, TN. I realize your post to the Benton Query page regarding this subject was done in 1997, but I hope you can be of assistance. Today I confirmed the name of my g-g-grandfather, Pleas (Pleasant) HUDSON, born in Henry County, TN probably about 1820. This information was on the death certificate I requested from the Tennessee Archives for my g-g-uncle John B. HUDSON (b 1840 TN; d 1916 Obion Co., TN). Unfortunately, the maiden name of John B. HUDSON's mother was listed as "unknown" on the death certificate. However, I believe the wife of Pleas HUDSON was a woman named Mary P. ? who was born in TN in 1821. I found a Mary P. HUDSON in the 1880 Obion County Census. Mary was listed as "mother-in-law" in the household of Thomas M. HAMPTON. Thomas M. HAMPTON was the husband of Pleas and Mary's youngest daughter, Cora HUDSON. Mary's father was born in NC; her mother in Georgia and she was listed as 59 years old at the time of the 1880 Obion Co. Census. Pleas and Mary had six children. It is believed that all these children were born in Obion County, TN; however, the birth date of their son Henry HUDSON who died at Shiloh in April 1862 is unknown. There is a possibility that he was the oldest of the children and may have been born in Henry, Weakley, Benton, Obion or other nearby TN counties. The children of Pleas and Mary P. ? HUDSON are: 1. Henry HUDSON, (b unknown date or place, d April 1862 Shiloh, TN) 2. John B. HUDSON, (b 18 Jan. 1840 TN, d 16 July 1916 Obion Co. TN), m Mary CROCKETT/CROCKETTE, (b 03 April 1844 in ?, d 22 July 1901 Obion Co., TN). Both are buried at Antioch Church Cemetery in Obion Co., TN 3. Benjamin Waller HUDSON, (b 30 Jan. 1844 Union City, Obion Co., TN, d 20 May 1907 Taft, Butler Co., MO). Marriages: 1. 25 Feb. 1869 in Obion Co. TN to Alice M. CALHOUN (b 24 May 1850 Troy, Obion Co., TN, d 29 Nov. 1883 Antioch, near Union City, Obion Co., TN); 2. 14 October 1884 probably in TN to Sarah Penelopee WRAY (b 10 May 1857 unknown place, d 23 Nov. 1893 in Neelyville, Butler Co., MO); 3. April 1895 in Butler Co., MO to Nancy Jane MORROW (b date and place unknown; d date unknown, probably Butler Co., MO); 4. Unknown date probably Butler Co., MO to Laura DODD (b and d date and place unknown). 4. Mary Ann HUDSON (b 29 Jan. 1847 TN; died 28 June 1940 Cape Girardeau, Girardeau Co., MO), m unknown date or place John Martin ALEXANDER (b 25 April 1838 TN, d 12 Nov. 1917 Parma, New Madrid Co., MO). 5. Tennessee Adaline HUDSON (b 18 Feb. 1851 Obion Co. Tn, d 29 May 1939 probably Hornbeak, Obion Co., TN) m unknown date probably Obion County, TN Joseph Salvonus HAYES (b 05 May 1849 Obion Co., TN, d 25 March 1921 probably Hornbeak, Obion Co., TN) 6. Cora HUDSON (b 1857 Obion Co., TN, d unknown date or place) m between Jan. and June 1880 in Obion Co., TN Thomas M. HAMPTON (b between 1851-1854 in TN, d unknown date or place). In the Tennessee Death Index 1908-1912, I found the following HUDSON deaths in Henry County, TN: Mary HUDSON died 1909, Record #43003 R.T. HUDSON died 1909, Record #43459 Robert HUDSON died 1909, Record #43035 Benton County Death Records: James K. Polk HUDSON 1912, Record #1857 Jerome H. HUDSON 1912, Record #1855 Louella HUDSON 1912, Record #1858 Morth HUDSON 1910, Record #1762 P. W. HUDSON 1910, Record #1814 Thomas Luther HUDSON 1909, Record #1838 Walter J. HUDSON 1911, Record #1979 Do you have access to the actual records in this death index? Do you have census, birth or marriage records that might tie my g-g-grandfather Pleas HUDSON to anyone in Benton County? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! Is there anyone that has been to the Browning Genealogical Library in McKenzie Tennessee? As I came home late last night I drove through McKenzie and saw the signs for it but it was late and the library wasn't open. I wondered if it only had info. related to Carroll County Tn.? Thanks for any info that anyone can tell me! Caroline

HERE! HERE! I live probably closer than most on the list to the facilities that houses the information. however, due to family and finances... I can NEVER get there. I appreciate EVERYONE who helps out on this (and other) lists doing look-ups and most of all encouraging us. (yes, even us lurkers!) It is like a scavenger hunt. I'll take what I can get... and check it out later! Its the FUN of the hunt and finding out names of past relatives for me. I feel like I know them.... even if they turn out NOT to be my line.

Hi. I'm researching the Steeley[Steely] name.Anyone out there know any thing on this family. I've just started on my other "tree's". Williams, Hooper, Elrod and Powers. Any help appreciated. Thanks,Joyce

Yeah, one wouldn't have to change a thing!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Folks, I have 18 years of National Geographic Magazines including maps.....1982 to present. They are FREE to whomever can use them. All I ask is reimbursement for the shipping charges to you, library, or organization of your choice. Please let me know, Dave

I guess if Dan Martin can do this, you'll let me - right?? I think he'd applaud after reading this just as I did after jumping up and putting my hand over my heart. Sorry to those who are going to flame me but thought too good to pass up. Glenda IF I WERE THE DEVIL (From Paul Harvey) I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world; I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man's effort, instead of God's blessings; I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around; I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue; I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership; I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies; I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life, and invent machines to make it convenient; I would cheapen human life as much as possible, so that the lives of animals are valued more than human beings; I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a lawsuit; I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young, and I would get sports heroes to advertise them; I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family member for my agenda; I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation; I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable, because if the family crumbles, so does the nation; I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art; I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled; I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities, and refer to their agenda as politically correct; I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive; I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional; I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are. Good Day

Hi Bob: There is a Louis E. Coppedge, b. Apr. 6, 1870, d. Jan. 8, 1928, in the Heflin Cemetery located about 3 miles on old 79 Hwy. northeast of dover. No Harriet or Daisy. I looked through all the Coppedge's in the index, and couldn't find a Harriet or Daisy. Are you sure she didn't remarry, or move out of the county? Some buried in private cemeteries that may not be registered. I have an Arnold Yarbrough m. Maranda Joiner. I don't have any Coppedge. Do you belong to the Danville Crossing Email List? I'll forward this the the list, maybe someone there can help.

This is great advice..... for those who are fortunate enough to live near the source; ie, the archives, libraries and courthouses where the records are. But what does one do if they live on the opposite side of the continent, with no chance of examining the original records ? I'm the first to admit that the "hunt and chase " is the fun part of research, but after 30 years of chasing, ( and pushing 80 ) I am sooooooooo grateful for all the nice people who have done look ups and made copies of records for me! In the two or three years I've been on the intenet, thanks to the generousity and help of fellow members , I've found members of my family in places that I had no idea they had lived, and feel comfortable using copies of wills, deeds, court records, etc, that they have sent, as documentation. My response is not to be critical, but rather to encourage those in similar situations as I, not to throw up their hands, and give up.

Hello fellow Diggers: I have a relative that went to the Great State of California back about the turn of the Century, or a little thereafter or before and to Complete a limb on my tree I need information on his family. His Name is George Rushing born about 1873 in either Humpries or Stewart Counties in Tennessee, son of Andrew Jackson Rushing and Mary Collier, had a number of sibling. But he listened to the cry back then to "Go West Young Man", which he did all way to California, he married a lady named Carrie or something like that, I have information they possibly had 3 or more children, named Mary Jewel, Geneva or Genevieve, a son Andrew nicknamed Guy. Uncle George died and Carrie remarried to a man named Hecker, they had a child (or more) one named Lois, About the beginning of WW2 Carrie owned a restaurant in Pasadena. That is all the information I have, would like to add in the dates and etc. Also any contact. I would like to swap information, as I have quite a lot on the balance of the family. Many thanks for any and all help. Ira Bell Griddip@aol.com P.S. Shelly did you look for the information we discussed when you were here? Nothing new yet on our Keel's
