From the e-mail you can unsubscribe yourself from any or all of the mailing lists. or Just send the word UNSUBSCRIBE to NAMEOFLIST-L-@ROOTSWEB.COM (Change NAMEOFLIST to the name of the list and change L to D if you are on the Digest List) When you are ready to re-subscribe all you need to do is send the word SUBSCRIBE to NAMEOFLIST-L-@ROOTSWEB.COM (Change NAMEOFLIST to the name of the list and change L to D if you want to subscribe to the Digest List.)

Donna, I have a cousin who's husband has done some serious research on the Rhodes family ( they married into my Childress line) and I will forward your email to him The other family names in that migration was Parrish, Howard and Massey Linda Sue
no, no, no... Rising Fawn was never called Pittsburg but you are right that Rising Fawn is still here... in the valley of Dade County between Trenton and the Alabama line (more or less). Pittsburg was located on Lookout Mountain, mostly in Walker County in the coal mining area at what is now Durham. Only it covered maybe a little larger area extending south of what is now Durham... if that makes sense. Here's where the confusion comes in... that area on Lookout Mountain's mailing address is Rising Fawn, GA but they are nowhere near Rising Fawn. We need our own post office up here!!!

Yes, Bill, you're right... but once upon a time most of northwest GA was Walker County (1833); even more of north GA was Murray Co (1832) and then we have most all of north GA being the original Cherokee County (1831).

The following newspaper clipping was taken from the June 29, 1899 Ringgold, Georgia newspaper: (this paper is torn and brittle so some words are not distinguishable.) MASONIC FESTIVAL AT WOODS STATION Hundreds Gather There At Last Saturday's Celebration MANY LOGES REPRESENTED A Trio of Distinguished Orators, Hon. J.W. Maddox, Dr. W.G. England And B.F. Thurman Present. ---------------------------------------------- MAS_ _ _ NICLY the gathering at Woods Station Saturday June 24, 1899 was the largest ever held in Ca_ _ _sa county. The festival had been judiciously advertised and invitations had been extended all loges in the adjacent territory, and as a result there were representatives there from many different organizations. At an early hour people from all sections of the country and all kinds of vehicles _ _ _ horseback _ _ _ as pedestrians began to assemble on the grounds of the Masonic hall. The committee in charge of the arrangements had exercised good judgement and had everything satisfactorily arranged. _ large stand for the speakers, well shaded, and artistically decorated in the national colors, red, white and blue, occupied a conspicuous place on the grounds. In front of this stand was a place for the choir and Mason_ _ and in the rear seats for the ladies and their escorts. Above the stand, enclosed in a frame draped in the national colors was the word "welcome" encircling the Masonic emblem. The masons met in the lodge room and marched in a body to the cemetery, where they dedicated the monument of R.A. Jones. Afterwards they returned to the stand and the exercises began by Dr. J.E. Peace introducing to the vast audience W. Trox Bankston of Ringgold, who delivered the welcome address. Next on the program came the address of Assistant District Deputy Dr. W.G. England, of this Masonic district. It was an interesting paper and replete with the growth and benefits of masonry from the building of the temple up to the present time. This was followed by music, and afterwards one of the most important features of the day, dinner was announced. Such a dinner as it was will never be forgotten by the large crowd which sur- - - - - - the temporary table which had been erected for the occasion. It _ _ _irly groaned under its weight of _ _ _ _itables. I would be a useless effort to enumerate all the good things they had to eat. All you had to do was shut your eyes and wish for what you wanted, and the person next to you would pass it along. The eatables on this occasion established the reputation of the fair ladies of North Georgia as culinary artist of the highest ability, and the hospitality of her people was proverbial. After the choir had rendered some excellent songs, the orator of the day Congressman John W. Maddox, of Rome, was introduced and in his own eloquent _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ duties of the Masons, the building _ _ _ character and the great reunion i_ _ _ temple in the skies. The choir followed with appropriate music. B.F. Thurman, of LaFayette, followed with his address which was attentively listened to by those present. Taken altogether the day was a most pleasant one and heartily commemorates St. John the Baptist, who was a member of the ancient order. The members of Woodstation Lodge No. 233 F. & A.M., and the people of Woodstation Valley are to be congratulated on the success of this auspicious occasion which will be one _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ asan_ __ _pts_ _ _ _ rred_ _ _ in_ _ _ _ by the Masons of the future. Below we give a brief sketch of the lodge, its officers and its members, and a portrait of the present worshipful master, Chas. A. Cooper. Woodstation Lodge was organized April 11, 1891 with the following charter members as officers: A.I. Leet, W.M.J.H. Black, S.W.W.P. Jones, J.W.J.P. Williams, Treas W.A. Weaver, Sec. J.N. Daily, Sr. D.J.H. Lowery, J.D.J.A. Arnold, Tyler, W.P. McCutcheon and S.G. Wilbanks stewards, R.P. Neal, Chaplain, T.A. Williams. During the eight years existence of the lodge twenty-one members have been initiated and raised to the sublime degree of a master mason. The growth has been a remarkable one as the statistics go to prove. Divided up in years the increase is as follows; 1891 A.H. Cooper G.T. McArthur 1892 A.J. Fielding J.H. Richardson 1893 C.A. Cooper 1894 N. Coulter 1895 J.M. Wilbanks 1896 R.L. Bird J.E. Peace 1897 J.F. Catlett C.F. Williams 1898 WH. Westbrooks W.I. Keowen M.A. Cooper J.W. Cooper R.M. Ward 1899 Lee Bird V.H. Ward R.I.

Once upon a time most of what is now Chattooga County was part of Walker County. So if you go back to when Walker County was first formed (1833) they are right.
