I have stuff to transcribe, Jan. Remind me and my poor memory, of all the counties involved here (I know Stewart) and I will see what I can do. Also, to whom should these transcription be sent to? You? Dave? Thanks, Debbie C.

Willie PEACOCK was listed in Henry Co.,"1836 Tennessee Civil Districts and Tax List" in District No. 3. Does anyone know where Dist. 3 was located?

Where are district numbers 9 and 12 in 1850s in Henry Co.? Thanks, Gail

I have Willie PEACOCK listed in Henry Co.,"1836 Tennessee Civil Districts and Tax List" as being in District No. 3. Maybe someone else can tell you where that was.

The Appomattox Paroles.. These are the men that were present at the time Lee and his Army of N. Virginia, surrendered to Grant at Appamatox Court House* . They were paroled and allowed to leave with their personal horses. April 9-15, 1865 * Note, I am not a whiz kid... but until THIS past year I thought APPAMATOX COURT HOUSE was a building in APPAMATOX.. Not... it is the name of the town.. there also was a town named APPAMATOX... How bout that?! If I have no takers I will drag out another resourse....

I have two conflicting places of birth......are these places the same or very near each other? Linda Wesson

Jean, You're right the about the 2 different Marthas.....I wasn't attempting to imply that they were the same...she diffently is not of the John & Rachel Pierce line..... What I was trying to point-out is that her descendants later inter-married with descendants of the John & Rachel line and was trying to remember thru which of my families it occurred....and....that I believed it was thru the McDaniel line of Martha Angeline McDaniel (I am searching for my notes of her maternal lines for the connection)...... Will continue to look for my notes..... Dave At 01======:29 AM 1/23/02 -0500, GJCloke1@cs.com wrote: >Dallas & Dave, > >We corresponded briefly about this a couple of years ago.

Dave Wouldn't surprise me any!!!!! They are rudest and most unhelpful(?) people I have run into in doing court house research! Ronda

Jan, I don't think we are related after all, :( . I could be wrong. Have been before. :) There is a Civil War Battlefield here in Ohio called Johnson's Island. There is a McElroy buried there. I have been there to visit the cem., I took a pic of the stone, now if I can find it, I will let you know the details. Perhaps he is your kin. (?) Ronda

Dallas & Dave, We corresponded briefly about this a couple of years ago. I haven't found anything new since then. I've looked into that line and the Martha that is the daughter of the John & Rachel Pierce is somewhere between 10 & 18 years too old to be my Martha. According to the Benton Co., TN book John & Rachel's Martha was born Feb. 23, 1822. According to the 1870 Census my Martha was 38 years old, on the 1880 Census she was 40 years old, and something else that suggested she was b. 1839 (can't put my fingers on it right now). That would make her birth date either 1832 or 1839/1840. Taking into account her children's birth years (1862 to 1879), I believe the 1839/40 date is more accurate. The information I have regarding her father being named Augustus/Augustine b. 1798 NC, came from a fellow Bethany researcher, but I don't know where he got it and I haven't been able to find it. He also had the names of the siblings and a second marriage to Middey Thompson on February 25, 1856 in Henry Co. I have found a record of an Augustus Pierce buried in the Barbee Cemetery in Henry Co., and Martha married Charles in Henry Co. At the moment I have accepted this line, but I would really like to have some better documentation. I have reread all the old posts to this list and Benton Co. that I had printed out a couple of years ago on the Pierce line. The only idea I have about how Augustus and family fit into the other Pierce lines are that he is possibly a cousin or brother to John (m. Rachel Ross) and or Hiram (m. Kizziah Greer). Their birthdates are close enough for them to be siblings. Another thought occurred to me regarding the story about Hiram being Indian and taking the name of the Pierce family he worked for, and the story that Martha Angeline was an Indian baby left with the Pierce family because her mother died. Maybe they are connected??? Any thoughts? Well, that's all my brain can deal with tonight. Thanks for the help, Jean

bj London, You just grab you some microfilm of public records...and transcribe to your heart's content and no one is in a hurry!!!! You sound like a perfect person to do..."as long as I am able I'll do what I can"...well you know what? That is all anyone can do, what they can...but with a lotsa folks doing what they can...mountains can be moved. Anyone willing to do what they can, with what they have to do with...is A-OK!!!!!

Well, you know anything that Dickson's page you can have/use/mirror/or link to. What ever you want ... as to other things..??? I have to think... what can I do? other than be a cheerleader... and get in the way? I am good at both! I know! When in doubt go back to the basics! I will do lookups.. NOW remember I have been out of the loop for a very long time.. Heck my resources may even be on the web by now.. but this is my offer to ya'all on DC.. Send me an email with the word "lookup" in the subject, otherwise it might be deleted.. ..and I will look in a new resource I have acquired.. The Appomattox Paroles April 9-15, 1865 I will do one book at a time, as I had a milestone birthday this month...and now have official Senior moments~! Give me something to do! Cher

My GGG Grandfather and family, Willie Peacock, is found in 1840 Henry Co. Census, pg 482. My GG Grandfather Rufus W. Peacock is found in 1850 Henry Co, census pg 394b Can one relate from the census listings to a map location? Does anyone have access to these that can tell me exactly where in Henry Co. these to listings are located? Are they near each other? Thanks, Ray Ray Horton sunray@erie.net
