Hello! Does anyone happen to be familiar with the residents of the area of Hurricane Creek in Houston County in the 1800's? I am hoping to find where Augustus Milam and George Ann Cook Milam lived in this area and thought that maybe someone might just know . I suspect he moved to the place on Hurricane Creek circa 1870-1871. If anyone has just happened across this information I'd be most grateful! Thanks Caroline

Here is my sketch of pioneers....It includes John McNeill Williams and his wife, Lucy Ann Courts Williams, Nathan Williams and his wife, Frances McNeill, Jennings Hudnall Courts and his wife, Elizabeth Williams, and Hannah Hudnall Williams and her husband, James Ridley, Jr. They were all residents of Henry County, TN during the 1840-1860's. John McNeill Williams was the son of Nathan Williams and Frances McNeill, of Caswell Co. NC. He was born 28 Aug 1799 in Caswell County and married Lucy Ann Courts, daughter of George Courts and Hannah Hudnall on 23 March 1819 in Rockingham County, NC. He moved to Henry County, TN. around 1840 and built a two story brick home on the land which is now known as 1235 Elkhorn-Nobles Rd, about 7 miles west of Paris, TN. Their home was called "Hazel Green." This home was replaced by a more modern structure in the 1970's but the original doors, mantles, brick basement, hardware and exterior brick walkways were used or kept in tact in the construction of the newer home. John was a farmer by occupation and by the letters written by he and his wife, Lucy, during this period, it shows they were educated and reasonably successful. They spoke of friends and relatives living and visiting in the neighborhood, condition of crops, visiting preachers and revivals, ailments and illnesses of family members, household chores, the mail service, the swamp like conditions which existed in their area (near Paris) and comments from letters of children who had moved to Texas, in which they stated, "we was mistaken about Texas being a third rate country." John probably moved west to Henry County with other members of his family, since his father, Nathan Williams, lived just a few miles away, at his home called "Locust Grove", This home was located just off of present day Oak Grove Road and although the home is no longer there, their family cemetery can be found at this location. Buried in the Nathan Williams Cemetery are also members of the Jennings Hudnall Courts family, which lived nearby at "El Grove". Jennings Courts married Elizabeth Williams, the sister of John McNeill Williams, and Jennings Hudnall Courts was the brother of John's wife, Lucy Ann Courts Williams. Jennings and Elizabeth ran an inn which was known as "Elgrove Inn" and the date of construction of 1838 can be seen on one of the two brick chimneys at each end of the building. The old rutted road which ran in front of the early inn can still be seen today. An article about this old structure was found in the Paris newspaper and it stated the inn was used primarily as a stopping place for freight wagons hauling goods to be loaded aboard steamers on the Tennessee River. In 1858, some twenty years later, that David Upchurch purchased the parcel of land which is known as the Upchurch farm today. John McNeill Williams was a farmer by occupation and he and Lucy eventually had 14 children, many of whom lived and died in Henry County. Their daughter, Hannah Hudnall Williams, was my great great grandmother. She married James Ridley, Jr. and is buried on the old homeplace which was once her father's land. The land owned by John Williams was bought by the Thompson family after his death in 1863 and is locally known as the Thompson/Williams Cemetery. At the time of Hannah Williams Ridley's death, in 1858, she and her husband James were living nearby with their seven children. There was a worldwide epidemic of one of the worst strains of influenza the world had seen during the 1857-1859 period. Many of John and Lucy's children died during this time, including my grandmother Hannah, who died in 1858. She is buried beside her father and many of her siblings beneath the old pecan and dogwood tree in the yard of the former "Hazel Green" home. Janie Ridley Bice jrbice1@airmail.net

Same thing happened with my family as with Jan's. Everything that belonged to the BASS family was with the two old spinsters and the bachelor, "Uncle Dick, Aint Leona and Bertha Mae". (You have to say it all together - always have) They never married, lived in the house together, worked on the farm together, etc. all their lives while the other BASS children married and moved away. My grandmother was one of the older BASS children and always went back as often as possible to visit and take care of them, as did some of the other older siblings. When my grandmother died we still went to Ridgely and visited and took care of them. We were only 14 miles away. One day the youngest BASS sister's children came from way off, visited and then had them committed to a nursing home. They immediately sold all of the old family items or threw them away before we even knew. Don't think they were being mean either - they just were not interested in the "junk" and thought they were "helping" them by putting them in the nursing home. Oh what I would give to see the old family Bible....................... What secrets did it hold? Abigail, my daddy's cousin (not the BASS side) and the Lake County Historian, has the rocking chair that my great great grandmother insisted on bringing with her to Lake County after her husband died. Her husband had bought it for her when they first married. She treats it well and it will be passed to someone in the family who has children who are interested enough to preserve it and pass it along. Since I don't have children that won't be me and all my cousins on the MOORE side aren't interested. I hope that Abigail's great grandchild will some day treasure it.

Similar occurance in my family....and here is how it went. Mama wanted the rocking chair of her great granny for years...sat outside in all kinds of weather in the possession of kindred. She never got it, but her sister-in-law (no relation to this side of the house) dropped by one day and offered the family cash for it and DID get it, had it refinished and kept it...and one day gave it to Mama years later. Don't know that Mama would ever have gotten it, no mean spirit about it...just if family wanted it family felt like maybe they should keep it. But when a "stranger" dropped in and offered something for it, they sold it! LOL! No great lesson here. Just a story. Seriously, I am with Carolyn on that. If I wanted it I would ask, offer to pay for it and try to get it. I would also explain that I wanted to keep it in the family, and would offer to put an engraved plate on bottom with a list of the owners that have had it, including this current one so that she would become "part of the idea of a family heirloom to be passed on"...that should sweeten the idea of keeping it in the family and turning it into an heirloom rather than simply an antique for people non-related. Just an idea... jan ----- Original Message ----- From: gildent <gildent@email.msn.com> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 1999 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Question > I would say, if it was me, I would certainly call and talk to the lady about > the chair.

Ok Kimberly, Found some info for your Cemetery Record Update...on Carlisle Cemetery...the Smith Warfield in an unmarked grave there is the infant son of William Cale Warfield (1874-1947) and Mattie Belle Brake (1875-1974). I do not have his dates, but he was born and died before 1900. Burt knew because it was his brother. No other children of that family are buried there, although kindred is. Also have some more information. The William Rudolph Browning (August 19, 1897-September 25, 1939) that is buried there is the husband of Gertrude Warfield (this would be Smith's sister). Also buried there is Jake Warfield (I believe another unmarked). This is the son of Smith Alexander Warfield (b 1851) and Alda Warren (1857-1887)...I do not have Jake's dates (note Infant Smith buried here is grandson of Smith Alexander Warfield who is not buried here, Infant Jake is uncle of Infant Smith and Gertrude). Also in an unmarked grave there is Tom Winters (1876-1892/93). He was also known as "W.T." and was the husband of Georgiana and the son of Rev. George William Winters and Nancy Anna Powers. All this is family information. Hope this helps you some...apparently this side of my house did not always mark their graves! jan ----- Original Message ----- From: kimberly schmidt <diggingupbones2@yahoo.com> To: <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 1999 10:33 AM Subject: Re: Milam > Jan, > > Glad to be of help.

I would say, if it was me, I would certainly call and talk to the lady about the chair. If you never ask about it,then probably you won't have a chance of getting it since they don't know you.

Jan, Glad to be of help. A definite shame about your uncle Burt! I've had one too many persons tell me I started this cemetery thing 10 years too late!!! I would think that the graves that were removed would have to have been some of the more recent burials. Once of the local landowners that I talked to, told me that no one had been buried there since the 1930's. And this lady is not that old. But, I won't know until I talk to her personally. He also told me that there was an iron furnace located just to the north of the cemetery. The question is, was this a graveyard for the ironworkers? (There are so many unmarked graves) a family cemetery, or people from the Carlise area. For some reason, burials were discontinued here (plenty of space available) and the nearest large cemetery is just up the road on Hwy. 233 towards Cumberland City. I'll let you know if I come across anyone that knows who was removed from here. Kimberly --- j <unicorn@sun-spot.com> wrote: > Kimberly, > Thanks a BUSHEL!

Robert, Unfortunityly some people value things only for the money and it sounds like the case here. The best advice I can give you is to ask them what they want for it without letting them know the true feelings you have for this chair. If they realize it is very i,portant to you they will up the price. I relate this after having faced the same problem after the death of my grandfather. I hope you have more success than I did. His new wife and children think money is life and don't realize that the small thing I wanted (a picture of him in his Bears football uniform) meant more to me then all the money in the world. But if it is that important to them to have the all mighty dollar, they can keep it. Cuz like you I still have the memory of it in my heart. good Luck Toni

I bought the book "Cemetery Records of Land Between the Lakes" when I was at the homecoming. I've gone through it several times, and none of my family is there. I suppose because they lived on the other side of the Cumberland. DUH! I will mail the book to anyone that needs it.. I know that Ira was wanting one...if you didn't get one, Ira, let me know..... the only condition would be that the receiver would look up names for people which I know Ira always does. I thought of saving it for next year, and putting it in the auction, but people could be using the information. I leave for Alaska on the 29th and school will be started when I get back...so I won't have a lot of free time after that. Let me know if someone could use the book. It's free...just hate to see it sitting on the shelf when someone might need it. Lucinda
