Cher, I'll take you up on your offer for Lauderdale Co. lookup if you don't mind. I'm looking for an Alfred Evans HART who married a Lucy Ann STOKES, probably around 1851ish. Lucy Ann's parents were Thomas STOKES and Sarah (?). I believe the entire slew of family may have moved on to Arkansas sometime in the mid to late 50s. Thanks for any help you may find.

Morning all, Today I got to thinkin about names... what's that Willie said? "A name...what's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!" And I thought, well there is a lot in a name.... my son became Joshua because of the one that "fit the battle of Jericho" and the sermon I listened to while pregnant with him, he recieved Thomas as his middle name because that was the name of MY father, and because my father never had a son and a long line of Thomas Dennis's was coming to an end after four generations, he got another middle name too...Dennis. Similar stories about my daughters' names. Now as for me, Mama says I became Jan (jan) because when her and my pa were courting their favorite restaurant was the Trojan and one night they looked up at the neon light and by golly the "Tro" was out and the "jan" lit up....voila! That, they decided then and there, would be their daughter's name when they had one, if they did. Well they did, and I was their crop which might be a blessing....suppose they next had been sitting in front of a Sinclair Gasoline Station and the neon part that said "claire" had been out and they named their next child "Sin"???? Sheesh.... I shudder to think of the possibilities! But back to this name business.... amazing the clues names can give us, right? And some we do not even notice....until we stumble on just the right thing. I always thought Philadelphia an odd name for my ggg grandmother McElroy-Fitzhugh..... until I learned that my McElroys first settled in ....ta da!...Philadelphia! My aunts never knew why their mother's middle name was "Delphie" (a variation of Philadelphia) until I told them that their great grandmother was Philadelphia, and more than likely grandpa had never heard his mother referred to as anything but "Delphie" so that is what he named his daughter. I almost missed my Hatcher connections because the descendents referred to gg grandmother as Victoria but the Hatcher cousins who did not come of her line knew her only as Rebecca Victoria in the family Bible and referred to her as Rebecca. Now there are supposedly "set patterns" for the names that were given in the families: such as the first son being named for the father's father, the second for the mother's father, , the third for the father, etc. and you can view those patterns at http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/naming.htm but understand that they are definitely not set in concrete and can only be taken as "perhaps clues". I wonder sometimes, how many clues we miss and never know the meaning of.... one that would have been lost I suppose if I had not known it to tell the only granddaughter of an aunt, was that her grandmother's name was actually Lillian Kathleen, and that Lillian came from the name of her grandmother's uncle's girlfriend. The young lady had never heard the story and I doubt she ever would have, or if anyone else even knew it to tell her if they thought of it. The uncle, actually a great great to this young woman, was killed in WW1 before he ever married his sweetheart, Lillian. Soooo...there was a story in that name that may well have been lost. Now I can't help but wonder how many other names in our lines there is a story behind and we simply don't know it. Why was one of my great uncles never named until he grew old enough to name himself...and then why did he call himself "Bowman"? Where does the first name "Madison" come from in my Fitzhugh family...where does "Wingfield" come from in the Dunlaps? I suspect they are clues to family connections but I haven't found them, although this story would be more obvious than Philadelphia's or Lillian's... Perhaps all of these names are "sweet clues".... No Willie, I think you got it wrong..."a rose by any other name would NOT smell as sweet"!!!! And that is my thought for the day, jan

Chuck is a subscriber to Stewart and is a great contributor.. he does our maps and is a good friend.. *IF* he makes it to the DCHomecoming2000 in June 23,24, 25 , He will do a performance for us!! Keep our fingers crossed.. I really think this is interesting and hope you do too... Come to the Homecoming and see him in action!!!! Cher Hey y'all, As you know, Jan has asked me to expand on my reenacting, so here goes. I have had many experiences in reenacting and living history, and can't possibly put it all in one post, so with your permission I will do a series of post when I can about the subject. If y'all don't mind, I may even do some reminising in period letter form, and some will just be regular post explaining some of the clothes, uniform, gear, and accoutrements used during the time period I am talking about. Expect more material on the War Between the States(or if you are a Virginian, The War of Northern Aggresion), as that is where most of my experience is. I will start now by explaining what it is exactly that I am talking about. I got my start in reenacting in January of 1986, I was at the Dairy Dip in Dover talking to a friend of mine Jimmy Steppe. He mentioned that the next day that he was going to meet a man over at Fort Donelson to talk about CW reenacting. My first question was what in the world are you talking about. He explained a bit about it, so I said that it sounded like fun and if I could join him. I went and after 5 min. of talking to him, I was hooked. He said that what his group did was dress in authentic reproductions of period uniforms, drilled, pertrayed camp life, and of course actually refought the battles of the war. In 1987 I joined the Navy and left Stewart Co., but continued whenever possible to take leave and reenact, even joining up with a unit the 3rd Miss. down in Pascagoula for a time. I eventually ended up here in New England, and even went home a couple of times from up here just to do some reenacting. The 135th Anniversary of Shiloh in '97 was one of those times. Then a couple of years ago I left Mass. and came up here to New Hampshire, and nowadays it is just too hard to go home to do a reenactment, so I started looking for a good southern unit up here. I couldn't find one that I liked, so one day on the web, I came across a web page for the ALRA, American Long Rifle Association. This group portrays the colonial period from the F&I War through the Federalist Period. I researched and worked up a longhunter character, sent in my application a couple of months ago which is still pending. I have come to find out that the ALRA is a very precise organization, that demands excelence and documentation in your character portrayal. Since I have gone to a couple of rendevous with my longhunter persona another group of people up here took notice, and have asked me to join their organization as well. This group is the NEMM, Northeast Mountain Men, so I am in the process of working up a mountain man character for that. My longhunter roams the hills and hollers of my own home of Middle Tennessee, and the Mountain Man character I am working up will be an ole' boy from Tn, in search of the riches of Beaver Fur in the late 1820's. My CW character is just a dirt farmer from down on Crocketts Creek, that went across the river to Linton then on to Cadiz, and joined the Ky boys in a CS Brigade that they were getting up. This is a bit about where I am coming from. Some of the reminices will be actual information with a smattering of my own character(meaning fiction) in it. I will try to remember to put footnotes at the bottom to let you know what is real or not. If I am going to far with this just let me know, because I have a habit of taking a thread and turning it into rope if given half a chance(hehe). Chuck

I don't really have any details on Crouse/Cruse but have done a lot of work in Lincoln Co. and can point you to some info on Turney's 1st Tennessee. First there were two first Tennessee Rgmts - one fought in TN but the other went to VA before TN seceded (that was Turney's). I think they wanted to fight and were afraid that if they didn't get in pretty quick the war would be over before they had a chance to kill any Yankees. They could have stayed in Fayettville and had plenty of Yankees to shoot at as it turned out. Turney's Rgmt stayed in the Army of Northern Virginia (Lee's) and fought at all the big battles including Gettysburg where they nearly got wiped out. Their flag was captured on Cemetery Ridge (they were part of Pickett's Charge) and is in the TN Archives ( can be viewed at 1tnreg.gif@www.tn.us ). They surrendered at Appomatox Courthouse (one of my relatives Felix G. Buchanan who had been in the unit since the begining had the command and surrendered.) There is a pretty good narrative, from the soldier's point of view, In the Bedford Co Historical Assc. publication "History of Will J. Muse". It runs for quite a few pages and mentions many names but I didn't see any Crouse/Cruse. HarryB

Cher, When you get caught up, would you please check for ANY reference to Robert L. BROWN, in your Lincoln Co book ? Family notes only say that he is buried on Cain Creek in Lincoln Co TN. But in my searching, I found that in 1824 he was administrator of an estate in Henry Co, and witnessing land transactions, etc. so I'm assuming he was 21 years old ( or 18?) I also found : " Robert L.Brown , 1829, Henry Co Lottery Authorized." Do you know how I might check this out ?? Thanks for any "tid bit " you might offer. Marietta ---------- > Hummm...
