Dave, I wish I could remember if I had and I think I did, but when I get anything with an attachment and I don't know whom it is from I just delete the message and don't bother to read.. I did however in the last couple of days have 3 messages that had attachments and I just deleted.. I do think that one was from the Danville list.. A question though, did your Virus Scanning Software not detect this virus?? I have my virus scanning software always running, even though I delete messages with attachments that I don't know whom the message is from. I did however have a word file from a cousin in Europe whom sent a Word Document as a attachment and when I went to open it, my virus scanning software detected that the attachment had a virus, so the attachment was deleted.. Sorry I can not remember for positive if I had the E-Mail...Sharon *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 8/5/99, at 6:45 PM, David L.

Now What ???? >

Our Friend Chuck, Is sharing a yarn with us.. in an accurate account of a possible letter... Hope you enjoy it. Cher Dearest family, I hope this leter finds you helthy and in good spirets. It is intolerble hot here, but I expect it is much better wether in the mountains I wish to have writen you before now but just havn't had the time. I don't know if you have herd but we have all got together last year and renamed the fort, we call it just Nashville now. We ar working real hard at trying to get all the crops we can, but with the wether the way it is most of the crops is just burning up. Charles spends all his days in the fields from sunup to sundown, although that is no different from any other person, all this heat just ain't good for nobody. Lucky for us we live rit on the crick and the Blanes and the Georges our closest neybors ar just a few miles away, so all of us kinda thro in and help each other. I wish Chuck could stay for awhile but it has got so that the people inside Nashvile depend on Chuck and his friends to suppli meet for the settlement. They hav become reglar longhunters. They go all the way over to Chickasa Naytion and even up throoh Kentuck by the Shawnee. I thank though wat happens is that when the settlement has fresh meat, they end up going explorin and pick up the meat on the way back. Chuck is has been out for a couple of weeks now, he sed somthing bout headin over towards Chickasaw land then maybe turnin north tward Kentucky, he says that ther is some purty cuntry up north where the rivers are so close that you can almost stand in one and throw a rock into the other. He got himself a new haversack a few months back, its all natural linin and purty strong so it wont tear. You ought to see him now, Chuck also likes to wer nee britches with leather leggins insted of all leather trosers cause he can pull the leggins off to cros a crick or streem then shake the water off and still have his leggins dry to put back on. His leggins are up to his thi, and he wears center seem mocasons lik the Cherokee use insted of boots. They are beter in the woods than boots more quiet and leeves les of a track than boots. He still uses that lether huntin bag that daddy gav him that he keeps his bullets and things in. You aint gonna beleve this, he now has a powder horn that he got off a frenchmen from New Orleens down in Spanish Lousiana. It is scrimshawed with a ocean scene of a sailing boat he also got a wood canteen from the same man. All he had to give for the stuff was a couple of polecat hides we still wonder why that man wanted those hides but Chuck wadnt askin either. Course he still wers those same shirts that com down to bout his nees with slits up to his hips and his leather belt but for some reason he liks to wer his bukle on his rit side with his skinin nife rit besid it. I wont you ta tell daddy that even tho he has his own felt hat he wood rather wer that blu bonnet that daddy gave him. Everbody knows him by that bonnet to he's the only purson in the cuntry that wears a bonnet lik that. He somtims calls himself a Scotsman even tho he hasnt many memories of anywer but the middle ground. He has him a nic 50 calibur rifel, that shoots true, and he carries a tomahawk that he uses more as a hatchit than anything else. I just wish that I could have got him intrested in lernin to reed and writ lik daddy taht me at leest Chuck can writ his nam he figgers that he dont need to no any mor than that. I will stop now Charles is stil out in the heet and I got to go and mak him get in the shad for a spell. I will writ again wen I can. Till then yu will all be in my praers. Yur luvin dauter, W. FOOTNOTES: 1) First I hope I didn't overdo the spelling. I was trying to write from the perspective of a women with no formal education except from her parents, and add to that the fact that for the common person in those days there was no conventional spelling, it was from what I have noticed spelled by phonetics. 2) The comment about renaming Nashville is because Nashville started life as a Trading Post established by French Fur Traders about 1710. In 1779, Fort Nashborough was started by settlers. In 1784 they renamed the community Nashville. 3) I tried to add a touch from present day life hence the weather. 4) My clothes that I describe are the actual clothes that I wear when I go to rendevous, and the black felt hat that I described is actually the hat I use when I do Fur Trade era rendevous and the Scottish Bonnet is the one I use to do the Longhunter impression. The bit I put in about the pulling the leggings off for crossing creeks and streams was what Mountain Men used to do, but wore knickers that weren't actually knee britches, they were called Trappers Pants, and came down to the top part of your calf. Of course a lot of men did wear buckskin pants, but they could get quite hot in the summer. These trappers pants is what I have, even for earlier periods(mainly because I can't quite get any knee britches that fit me right(hehe)). I also tend to wear the eastern center seam mocs, since even the fur trade stuff I do is early on, and people just coming west from back east would be wearing the footwear that they knew. 5) The part I mentioned about Spanish Louisana was because in 1767 a partition of Louisana between England and Spain left New Orleans as the capital of Spanish Louisana. New Orleans wasn't actually ceded back to 1800. This was done secretly so my personal belief is that modern day politics isn't any more a game of dirty pool than it was a few centuries ago(hehe). I hope I didn't put anyone off with this, and if there are any questions, comments, or complaints please feel free to email me. Chuck

Lillie, I too received the email. I never open attachments from people I don't know. Yes, it does feel like throwing away an unopened letter. I too wonder if all DC members got it.

Did not receive the Aleksander Devic e-mail. I never open attachments no matter what they claim. I forward suspicious ones to TOSEmail1@aol.com and they at least have a chance to see what is going on and hopefully can catch these morons. Suzanne W.

I show Hubert Franklin Sykes who married Allie McElroy to be: Chesley Cole Sykes and Flora Evelyn Waggoner. George Madison Sykes was Hubert's brother. I can't find a June Sykes anywhere in my records. If you need any more info about Hubert, George or their parents, let me know because I have additional information about those families.

Hi Raymon, Sorry to read of the lose of your friend. Please accept my & the other members of the DC Community's heart felt sympathys. He will be in our prayers. Dave

Hi Folks, Thanks to the very much appreciated and special efforts of some very dedicated members of the Benton County Gen Society: Virginia Pafford, Hazel Craig & Ernest Sims, to name a few, we are making some inroads into the internments at the destroyed & forgotten Willow (Point) Cemetery in northern Benton County. A 1979 survey of the cemetery (below) by Ernest Sims & John Brown identified about 40 graves in the cemetery, 12 with 'texted' markers identifying the individual, 6 with markers with no ID, and about 25 unmarked graves. The identified interned in BUCHANON, FARMER & McKENZIE surnames. One marker indicates the cemetery was used as early as 1827. This early grave is NOT a McKENZIE family member, indicating the cemetery was used by other families in the area before the 1st McKENZIE family members death. Of the 40+ graves only 12 or 14 could be McKENZIEs, the remaining 25 plus are from other families in the area, and possibly affiliated with an very early CPC congregation in the area. Once the new Library is open for the inspection of Shorty Brewer's records, we should have a better understanding of who the unidentified graves may belong to. The following was published in the Benton Co. Gen Society 'Quarterly' in the spring of 1992. Please note that this cemetery, as indicated below, was destroyed between July 1979 and March 1991. <we're narrowing in>.

Of Arthur and Celia Pitt of Benton County, on Feb. 10, 1846. They made their home about two miles north of Big Sandy, TN., and had following issue: 1. William T. Mc Kenzie born January 14, 1847. 2. Catherine V. Mc Kenzie born ca. 1848. 3. Nancy Mc Kenzie born June 1850. 4. Celia Ann Mc Kenzie born March 25, 1852. 5. John P. Mc Kenzie b: April 21, 1854, d: Jan. 2, 1935. 6. Richard L. D.

Hi Folks, If you recieve and email from an "Aleksander Devic", email address: adevic@HEMOFARM.CO.YU Please DO NOT open it, but send it directly to trash. It will probably have an attached file: pismod.rtf Definitely DO NOT open this file. I did. And wish I never did. Crashed my system and ran wild on my harddrive. Has taken a day & a-half to 'clean' my system, and still not sure it's "well". I not sure what happened or what type of 'code' was executed when I opened that file, but it was vicious. " .rtf " files are not supposed to do this, but this one did something. Ended up blocking me from retrieving email from my email account, but could send emails periodically. Anyway, be careful. I don't know if this is just an isolated attack or what. I haven't verified the address yet to see if it's real or forged, but it appears to be an account in Yugoslavia. Take care, Dave

I did not know your friend , but I still feel your loss... The Lord works in mysterious ways, and it is not for us to understand, but to accept and go forward.
