No, haven't found her yet, but she'll turn up someday :) Gena

Struggled with 'this' for a longtime...ere...25 years... Could use 'you guys' thoughts...being an 'ole Chicago guy'...as I am....... 'Told my folks, I'd see them in Wisconsin, just North of the Dells at my Grandmothers place, the next day.... Diane told her folks, we we're leaving that afternoon for my Grandmothers' place.....". Needless to stay, WE LIED.....we spent the night together at my folks place...... Married her, I did..... Few months latter....Diane gave birth to our son.....Thomas Christopher Snow.....Feb. 20, 1968 Born prematurely.....I called our Pastor and respirated Thomas until he arrived....(things were not as they are today for neo-natal births).... Pastor baptized Thomas....and I continued to help him breath as long as I could.....he died in my hands......all 1 lb. 9 ozs of him......... Buried Thomas in the Church graveyard where only I and my mother attended the 'ceremony' by our Pastor..... Diane and I divorced after 7 years.......((took-up with Debby McKenzie instead (what a joke that turned into....Paula Jones ain't got nothing on her...nor Monica))... Thomas has lain alone for over 30 years without a 'marker'......I don't want him to go thru Eternity that way.....not because of my mistakes.....I loved his mother....she was a good women...... Some options here...... 1. Leave Thomas alone and place a granite 'marker' over his grave......(which is what my company does...I own it..)... 2. Over half-a-century ago my Grandmother bought an eight grave plot for her family....even though she had eight kids...(haven't figured out how she planned putting 8 kids into the remaining 5 grave-sites)....doesn't matter...you and I know the answer here...I've prepaid the perpetual-care on the site for Eternity (unlike alot of the gravesites in the DanvilleCrossing area)..... My Grandmother loved kids...probably why she had so many...(my comment....knowing her).... My thoughts are to move Thomas next to her and be next to him when I die...... Your thoughts.... Dave

Pat, I've been off line for awhile. I can't remember if we have or not either. :) My Duffel's were: Henry Duffel m. Mary Ann Hooper Chester (F) Joseph A. Mary m. Oscar Euclid Robinson * (my ggrandmother) They were from Stewart and Houston Counties. Thanks for answering. Have a great evening. Ronda Tinitiger6

I want to start the new year off with sending out all I know on my KENNEDY line in the hopes that someone out there might have a clue to help me in solving this puzzle: Cenus Hardy KENNEDY, born February, 1870, to Alford and ????? KENADY in Tennessee. Below are listed the facts we know about Cenus Hardy KENNEDY/KENADY's family: Both Alford and his wife died before 1880 and Cenus was raised by a Preacher named HALL near Jackson, Tennessee. Cenus had a brother named Sam KENNEDY who moved to Texas. He died May 3, 1926 in Paris, Texas at the age of 64. Information on the death certificate was provided by J. K. KENNEDY of Haworth, Oklahoma. Sam was buried at Garvin, OK, on May 4, 1926. Cenus' mother was Alford KENADY's second wife. Alford had at least two sons (name unknown) by his first wife. She had a daughter from her first marriage named Cordie who married and became Cordie BALSER. She lived in Owensboro, KY and had three sons. On the back of the picture I have of Cenus' mother is written: Mother was 1/2 Indian. Family stories say that Cenus was born to Alford and this lady in Scotts Hill, TN but this has not been proven. Latest guesses are that Alford came from Alabama and moved up to Lincoln Co. and then to Scotts Hill. However this is just speculation. Family information on KENNEDY line is at: http://www.ecsis.net/~lmoore/cenus.html If anyone has any information which would give me a clue, please email me at lmoore@ecsis.net Thanks, Leslie lmoore@ecsis.net Personal Website: http://www.ecsis.net/~lmoore/ Lake County, TN County Coordinator: http://www.ecsis.net/lakecounty/history/ Future Resident of The Old Genealogists Home, best kept secret in America http://www.rootsweb.com/~tndigs/homeplace/

Hi Gena, I was just wondering did you find your answer yet? Wil

This One's For You, M.T. (from the "Sunday Afternoon Rocking" series) Between cruising the skies in his parachuted flying contraption, ostensibly on the look out for "Injuns and revenuers", he was busy chatting to folks and inviting them to his rural farm abode that sounded like a slice of heaven on earth, crazy glued somewhere in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. Never mind that he threatened to send his guests up to admire the view from his lookout tower, and then cut the rope ladder and leave them hanging. Whether he was capable of that we did not know, but we knew this gent could keep us all entertained at the same time he was busy encouraging and helping out. Between his devilish good humor, and ornery threats, he was busy volunteering for this and that, giving of his time to genealogy researchers, among others. He dished out smiles to folks who needed them, and he dished out encouragement and support to folks who needed that. He spent hours on the net, giving unselfishly of his abilities in research. Apparently he had become a one-man welcome center and tour guide for anyone researching his area, and spent many hours shepherding them over the hills and around the bluffs, ironing out their Gedcoms, and kindly providing extensive look ups and information. In short, he was one of those angels with crooked halos we meet on the net, on our lists, on our sites, there with a ready grin and good humor, quick to offer a friendly hand, and just as quick to charm us with a load of southern repartee. It has happened more times than I can count now, in these years cyber space has become a part of my world. I grow to almost "know" a person, to like a person, to certainly trust a person in terms of the work I do on the net. Those of you who have made the net a bit of your personal community know what I am speaking of. Sometimes we meet them in person, as my husband and I once did this man, and sometimes we never see a face or hear a voice, but know them just the same. And we build friendships, and working relationships, and look forward to chats or just a casual "thinking about you…hope you are fine!" But many times, after a period, the people behind the e-mails become our friends, and a part of our world. And something else has happened, more than a few times. Cyber space is not an insulated world, and the people behind the messages that pop up on our screen are human, and prone to all of the natural phases of life that we ourselves are, and our neighbors are and the people we see in the flesh everyday are. And so it is that, from time to time we open our e-mail to get the same sort of shock we get in everyday life. We learn a friend has left this world and moved on to another one. And so it was, that this week I learned a dear friend was gone, and never again would I "hear" his light hearted bantering or his helpful kindly words. A shock it was, and I venture to say that many of you, if you have been researching long or belonged to many of our history and genealogy lists, also have known such a sadness for a person you never met on the streets of your town or city. Perhaps you asked yourself why it was you felt such sadness over a person who was not "really" in your world…and perhaps you immediately smacked that thought down because you knew that person indeed WAS really in your world. And you may also have immediately realized that "knowing" that person, even in this way, was well worth the sadness and pain you feel at losing this person. And as surely as we must find a way to come to closure and acceptance of those who are physically in our world, we must do the same in regard to those who enter our world by this medium. Long ago I learned that in the midst of sadness and pain, the route to peace is to find the meaning in what you knew of the life of that person. M.T. never passed up a good joke, never passed up a fun to poke and rib and have a good time. M.T. also never passed up a chance to make someone smile, to encourage them, to appreciate their efforts, or to just plain find the words to make them feel better. M.T. loved that farm of his and sent pictures of beauty and nature so we could all share it with him. He gave a great deal of volunteer time in his community, and he set up a haven that he welcomed all to with open arms. I don't think M.T. would want anyone crying in their soup over him, as he simply was not that kind of person. He loved life and he loved people and he loved doing for others. He loved nature and he loved history; he loved his wife and family and he loved good friends; he loved a good time and he loved giving folks a smile. Quite simply, about all I knew of the man was his penchant for giving to others. If there is a way to say "Thanks M.T.", then that way is probably to greet the world with a smile, helping others smile, looking out for nature, giving a bit of ourselves to other folks, lending a helping hand...and now and then when we do these things, saying...."This one's for you, M.T.!" This is also for those of you who, if you have not already, surely will experience the same sort of thing, as you carve a niche on the web. I hope you will remember that caring for folks out there on e-mail that we may never see or meet in person does not mean welcoming undue pain that could be avoided. Instead, as in all friendships, however they evolve, it means enriching our lives in yet another way. What we gain from good people far outweighs the inevitable pain of losing them. And I am not sure we ever truly lose them at all. For those of you who wish to meet my friend, Morgan County, Tn. Host Julie Cromwell has put up a site in M.T.

Folks, Anybody interested in having any of these (pre-1900) records uploaded to the Web on the DC WebSite ???? Dave Forgot to add the Website........SORRY...... http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/r&r/mfbent.htm

Folks, Anybody interested in having any of these (pre-1900) records uploaded to the Web on the DC WebSite ???? Dave

Hi Dave, Yes I located some of the Odom's, Robins, McDaniel, Fielder, Richardson and Christopher's, all are on my Christopher tree. With the stories of the " Old Bloody 23rd" the map helps, however it does not show the hills and valleys and where all the stills were located. Thanks a bunch. Wil.

I tried to download the site for thew 23rd Map Website and keep getting the message, not found on this server. Jessie e-mail Hoppy31930@aol.com

Hi Wil... Glad the map was useful for you....thank Larry Perry...the map is his work.... As to the 'stills', I haven't a clue...except one....Hurley Dortchs'....a 'bit' on that later... If I were a JOURNALIST (that you Chris ??), I would search-out the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm) records under the 'Freedom of Information' Act (since they have long been 'declassified' for this timeframe), and start to look at the 'original records' for who did 'what-to-whom' back then. Might 'tell' you mainy things that the 'Locals' don't want to talk about in their past.....just a thought from Uncle Dave here.... Hurley Dortch....Wacko Supreme....son of Issac Dortch (1850-1938) and Sarah Angelyn Cooper (1856-1943 dau. of Charles Williamson Cooper and Mary Moss) married (1st---Stella B. Gray ((1899-1934 dau. of John C. Gray and Martha Angeline McDaniels)), 2nd. -- Katherine Lipps in 1944) and had by Stella...Willene, Mildred & Gladass.....The Taliban has nothing on Gladys where religious fanatism and hypocrisy are concerned......but, I divert...(you know these families, I'm sure....along with Darlene Christopher....she fits in here also). As told by Hurley's daughter and grand-daughter........ Once Stella died......Hurley never got over her death....and went to doing what he did best...Moonshine....never worked an honest job again in his days, Deb says, after Stella died.....supplied Camden, Henry Co., and over into the 'old Gray' homestead in Stewart Co. (sans...David Gray and the Bradford clan of Paris Landing), and we can't forget Ole Preacher Gray of the Mt. Zion Church....James Monroe (John C.'s daddy)....can we??. Don't know for sure...just 2nd-hand family tales......out of the mouth-of-babes come many things...... Look at the Map for Hurley's place.....if you've been in the area, you know the terrain (and I'm SURE you have). You can get a good idea of where the 'stills' were located and who 'fired' them. As an aside.....there are some records of the Camden mercantile stores who 'supplied' sugar, copper tube, etc. to local folks. Interesting to read once you find them (and they are not easy to find)....maybe, they would tell WHO might have been making some illegal alcohol at the time ?? Don't know....just a thought....maybe I might look into these records at the Benton County Historical Society if I were a journalist and wanted to write a story on the period. Dave

May we humble ourselves in your sight so you can lift us up, that we might become dependent upon your Spirit, Wisdom, Power, and Love. May you give us the insight and spiritual tools to turn our children's hearts and minds toward you, that they may see Jesus Christ as _the_ Way, Truth and Life. On this day of celebrating the arrival of a new year, may we distinguish that which draws us toward our Savior, and that which distorts, detracts, and ends in eternal death. Also, Jesus, may we learn the significance of educational philosophies in regards to the message of the Cross. To the degree we ignore you, Lord, the world?s philosophies become effective tools of misinformation, distortion and death. But, the opposite is true of the mindset given to us by the Holy Spirit. May you continually grant us the wisdom to discern these instruments of spiritual warfare. And finally Lord, please draw our children and family members closer to yourself, soften their hearts and inform their spirits of your forgiveness, rebirth and gift of eternal life. Give them the courage to communicate yourself to their friends and families, that they may testify of you before their churches, communities, and schools. In the Name of Jesus, Our Lord.. Amen.
