I'm sorry for the confusion. I had copied "I have the McEvoy Funeral Home Records" from a person who had the book, then I asked for a lookup. I apologize, but I do not have the book, just hoping for a lookup like you. Angela

Carolyn and Anne, I have not been following the discussion on the Cathey line as I should have.. I do not have information on the posted E-Mail below, but maybe you however can help me.. I don't have Cathey's in my direct line from TN, however my 3rd Gr. Grandfather's brother, William Hagler (b. 1796) married a Dilly Pegram. One of the children of William and Dilly, her name was Mary E. Hagler (b. 1837 in Stewart Co., TN) married on Apr. 11, 1857 in Stewart Co., TN a Henry L. Cathey (b. 1835 in Carroll Co., TN) I have received most of this info from a Phyllis Cathey of Murray, KY . Phyllis has been doing the research on this line from Henry L. Cathey and descendants.. (I don't know if either of you know Phyllis or not..) If this Henry L. Cathey fits in with any of your lines or anyone elses, I would like to know more and appreciate the help....Sharon Hagler *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 7/13/99, at 11:50 AM, Familybuff@cs.com wrote: >Dear Anne, >While researching my husband's family, we found a James Young Fitzhugh m. to >Philadelphia McElroy.

My Horse Thief Everyone told me when I started doing genealogy, that I would eventually come across a horse thief... and I ultimately did.... sort-of. Of course, the definition of a horse thief is subjective, and determined by what SIDE of things you are ON.. Francis Neeley was a teenager when Gen. Greene's trops came to stay at his home, in North carolina, on Third Creek, between Iredell and Rowan Counties, as guests of his parents, Richard Neeley and Mary Duncan Neeley, the night before the battle of Guilford Courthouse. The weather had been awful and the troops were muddy, tired and hungry. Mary Duncan had made all the family's clothing, so she was able to provide clean trousers for the men. They had a stocked larder, so were able to feed them for the night and send them on their way with sorghum and cornbread and other food to hold them for a short time. The horses were just as tired and muddy as the men; so while the troops rested, Francis Neeley went out to " procure" fresh horses. A friend named Gilley went with him. They managed to find the needed horses, and bring them home... while escaping from the owners by hiding in a stand of tall grass. Gilley was caught. And so it was that on the following day, riding these "procured" horses, that Gen. Greene and his troops fought a vallant battle at Guilford Courthouse, that some say was the turning point ot the Revolutionary War. For the Colonists who wanted to be free of England, Francis was a hero, a patriot... BUT according thto the English law of the day, he was a horse thief. Francis Neeley was my g3rd ggfa. Cackycline

Just in case there's not enough confusion in the Pochohantas arena, let me further muddy the waters. 'Pochohantas' was a local gal <I'm in Virginia Beach> and that WASN'T her name. Nor was she the lithe Indian maiden with the killer bod Disney concocted <she was only 12 at the time all that went down>, nor did she save her 'beau' from the chopping block . . . that incident happened farther south <near present-day Florida>, involved a different tribe and even a different settler <a Spaniard>! In short, our 'history' is neither complete nor accurate where the erstwhile gal is concerned, and much has been glossed-over over the years to cover the essential facts that, were in not for the Pamunky, Powhatten, Moyoc and a few other tribes the settlers would have surely perished from their own stupidity during those early years, and in return for their help we gave them measles, cholera, and a host of other illnesses, before summarily stealing their lands. One of the few accuracies is that she did, after being renamed Rachel and moved to England for display, die of measles within a year.

Something to add to this request.... Many of the cemeteries were moved from Ft. Campbell because of the drop zones/air strips/road building/new construction; the cemeteries not directly affected were allowed to remain. An exception to this, were cemeteries that were located in the Impact Areas - and I for one would not venture in there! Recently, a contractor was hired to clean and put loose chain fencing around the known cemeteries. Unfortunately, too good a job of cleaning was done and the result was many rock markers were thrown to the side and many of the tombs were chipped or run over in the process. I also noticed that the complete cemetery was not fenced off. I found several more tombs located outside the fenced areas. In his defense, at least what is left has been preserved and hopefully will not be destroyed by the men/women on field manuevers. I don't know why the soldiers choose to, but I have seen several encampments around the cemeteries. (Maybe as a "known" location on the map??) They also seem to favor the old homestead sites. You will find that many of the relocated graves were moved to the following reinternment sites: POWELL CEMETERY - La Fayette, KY FLAT LICK CEMETERY - Herndon, Ky There are others, but these are the main ones. Copies of the cemetery listings can be found in the Stewart County Cemetery Book.

Just to throw my two cents worth in, I had an aunt named Pocahontas (last name was Cathey) b. 1917 she also legally changed her name to Peg. -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Banasiewicz <bwhiz@mindspring.com> To: DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com <DanvilleCrossing-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 8:08 AM Subject: Re: Pochohantas - name >Hi Ken: > >Thanks for the information.

Would anyone have a list for a Parrott Cemetery? Thank you, Lola Jenkins

Hi Ken: Thanks for the information. I found out her whole name is Isora Pocahontas. For those of you who kept the info I posted the other day, Pokie's father was W.F. not W.H. Sorry about that. What Wilson's? My mother was a Wilson.

Just a caution. The name of Pochohantas was not uncommon in Henry Co., I had an Aunt born in 1906 with that original name (she changed it!) and she was named after another "Pokie". There was indian "blood" in some of the early settlers (reported in my Cole line), but the use of this name by itself should be viewed cautiously as far as any real indian connection.

Dear Anne, While researching my husband's family, we found a James Young Fitzhugh m. to Philadelphia McElroy. We have descendancy charts for both the Fitzhugh family and the McElroy family, but we have run into a mystery that maybe you can solve. On some of the children's death certificates, they have their mother listed as a Cathey NOT a McElroy. Do you know anything about this? It could be that all of us have made a mistake and she was a Cathey. Would you mind looking to see if you have a Philadelphia Cathey anywhere in your work? We would love to get this straightened out. Thank you for your help. Carolyn Whitford Familybuff@cs.com

Lola, I believe we are going through Slayden this morning. I will stop by that cemetery for you. The cemetery is south and west of Slayden about 3/4 mile on Parrott cemetery rd. It should be very easy for you to find. Stan

In a message dated 99-07-13 09:18:01 EDT, you write: Lola, I know where the Parrott cemetery is, but have no list on it at this time. I will be glad to stop by there some time and look for a particular grave or graves for you when I am in the area. Are you in the Slayden area?

Angela, How far back does this book go? I would love it if you would check for records about two ancestors (if this book goes back this far). They are John G. Watkins who died 27 April 1905 and William O. Watkins who died 09 August 1908. Thanks so much for being willing to do lookups!
