Had to share this! It is TNDickson's Birthday! A year ago there was nothing but a blank page ... I was a newbee on Danville Crossing ... stumblin and bumblin along and Dave saw potential (or had pity (c: ) and encouraged me to stretch and grow.... With the help of Dave, Jan and Nancy we now have a super web site and list for Dickson. This year has been so full.. we have had the DCHomecoming1999 and are planning the DCHomecoming2000 right now! DC will be THE major player in Tennessee Genealogy one day... and you and I will have been a part of it! Isn't this GRAND? Thank you Dave for your support and Danville Crossing for being the big Kahuna list! Cher

Happy Cousin Co. Wish you the best in the coming Century Salt Lake City Pozzydaz

Afternoon all, All this yarn spinnin got me thinkin about Pa's attic... my oh my the things in that attic...now it is true hadda catch my daddy gone and talk one of my aunts (not too hard to do) into accompanying me as for some reason they were quite sure I would step in the wrong place and fall right through the roof down on into the kitchen... but that attic was worth the heat just to explore... there was an old photo album filled with tintypes in those pages that had cutouts just for photos to fit...old photos from 1910 and up too, when my daddy and his sisters were growing up and Pa looked young and my grandmother I never knew was smiling mischeviously into some old box camera. There were school books from Pa's own school days in the 1800's carely bundled up into a tiny little bundle that held exquisite discoveries like a blueback speller and a McGuffey reader. There were trunks filled with clothes from another era...and one very special trunk with something old and faded that once must have been quite beautiful...a box covered in blue satin with ribbons and lace...an aunt told me that was a from a box supper...some girl had made it and my great uncle Jud (who was killed in World War I before he ever married) had bought it so he could share the supper inside with her... there were letters in that trunk too although I was never allowed to read them....found out years later they were love letters between Jud and his girl, and that my aunts used to sneak up to the attic as young girls and read them! Once Pa himself took me to the attic and brought out a wooden box. Five treasures were inside, all things he said he had had as a boy and each one reserved for one of his five children. I have racked my brain trying to remember what three of them were, and will have to ask my aunts...but I remember two of them...one was a pig inside a glass ball...and one was a blue glass wagon meant to hold salt on the table...I have the blue glass wagon myself...it was my daddy's legacy. Sometimes the attic held a few surprises you really did not want to find, like the day I found a shed snakeskin on the railing...that might have broke me from exploring the attic, but I don't remember that it did. That attic is long gone and I was too young when it was cleaned out for the sale when TVA came in to be in on the cleaning out of it, but I have some remnants...my grandmother's trunk, and some of those clothes she wore in those faded old prints from 1910, a tiny button up high top shoe that may have been hers as a child... some of those long ago photos...but maybe most of all, the memory of the magic found in an attic layered in generations of living...castoffs from times yet tenderly laid away for another generation to treasure... wonder these days of easy purchasing and easy discarding, these days of houses without attics, these days of yard sales and flea markets, these days of houses new to everyone...wonder if the generations of living ever wait in layers for the generations to come...or if we are paying a price we do not even realize, and those castoffs from our times will never be treasured by the generations to come? Just a thought... jan

WONDERFUL thoughts, Jan, and I see the little salt cellars in the wagon shape at depression glass shows all the time.. cute collectibles, though I don't have one. Cacky

Ronda, could you look up Irvin Williams? He was supposedly born in Benton County but may have been from a neighboring county. He was probably born around 1880. I do not know who his parents were just that he married Lillie Rose Sexton in Benton County in1908. I have the path to the present on Irvin's children by this marriage, but sometime around 1911 Irvin and Lille were seperated or divorced. He moved away from Benton County and probably remarried. Anything on him would be appreciated. Thanks for looking, Regina Williams

Hi, ya'll! I need some look-ups, if anyone can help. 1820 Smith Co. census: Tuggle, John and Sarah 1840 Dickson Co. census: Jamison, Downs Lankford, John 1840 Henry Co. census: Tuggle, Wyatt 1850 Davidson Co census: Tuggle, Harris B. Thanks for any assistance. Anne Cathey Smith

Apparently you have subscribed to the "Danville Crossing" mailing list without realizing it. This is a mailing list for anyone with ancestors who came from this area to trade and share information. The list generates about 40+ e-mails per day depending on how busy everyone is. 99.995% of the e-mail you receive will have nothing to do with you. BUT, if you tell US what surnames you are searching for in this region, anyone who shares the same surnames or has information that may be helpful will contact you.

Jan and Cher et al There has been considerable E-mail and questions reference the KEEL family, many have ask about the "Descendants of Samuel Keel" book published in 1990 and the fact it was no longer available. I had permission to make a copy for a friend in California, which I did. I called Durbon tonight to see if I could do it again, and he advised me he now had some time to spend on it and was looking at having a reprinting soon. But should he not do it would call me and give me permission to again make a copy, about the only way it can be done without removing backs and having it rebound is to hold it flat on copier and putting two sheets each side of 17X11 sheets of paper, this is very hard on the Bindings. So will wait until I hear from Durban then will advise. If he does not get it reprinted will make the copies and let all know. \ Ira

Last night I was on your web page looking around, and since that time I have received about 6 emails that are not for me but to people I never heard of for ancestors I have no interest in. I f you could help me straighten this out, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Janet Smith

I'm trying to help a lady in NC locate her HENDRICKS family. Joseph Alfred HENDRICKS (21 Sept 1868; Shiloh, Mont Co, TN) married Leona Frances HODGES (19 May 1887; Mont Co., TN) Who are Joseph Alfred's parents? She was told that they were Joseph HENDRICKS (6 June 1838) and Angeline BANKS. She can find information on these people. Joseph Alfred and Leona Frances are buried in the Nesbit Cemetery in Mont. Co. with a Nancy HENDRICKS and an Albert L. HENDRICKS. (The only date of Nancy's marker is 8 Jan 1898 and on Albert's marker is 7 June 1893) Who were Nancy and Albert? Thanks for any clues as to where to look for these people! Sandy Ellis

Dave, So far I have not received the e-mail from Aleksander. Hope I don't. I'm knew to all of this stuff. Sorry that you got caught. Ronda

So, this makes about 3 of us who have received this attachment. Looks like we were singled out, doesn't it? I remember it because I really wanted very badly to open the file but finally decided to sent to attachment heaven; I'm sure glad I did. I don't have Dave's expertise in computers either. I would have had major headaches. Lillie

Lillie, When I saw it was an attachment, from someone I did not know, and with no subject line, I just automatically deleted it. But when discussion of it came up, I took a look in my Deleted file and Yep there it was, so I further deleted it so I would be sure and not accidently take a look at it some time later.
