I am still trying to locate anyone who has come across a SMITH Family who might have a son by the name of James M or Middleton SMITH, and possible a second son by the name of Littleton SMITH in TN, GA. I have not given up, but after 6 years and not a single clue, I am beginning to wonder if I will ever find the parents of James M. SMITH, b. 1809 in TN, most likely in the Walker Co., GA area, but there is no proof of this. He was living in Hamilton Co., TN in 1830 married, no children in the household. Next to him was a Charles SMITH age 50 to 59 -- father????. By 1850 James. M. SMITH is living in Lookout Mountain in Walker Co., GA with his wife Susan (WALLEN) and children, William, Sally, Mary, Priscilla, Campbell, Nancy, Caroline Catherine, Martha, Tennessee. By 1860 this family is in Randolph Co., AR, A little after the 1860 Census Susan must have died, maybe in childbirth to a son Henry, because James M. is now going by Middleton and is married to Mary C. possibly MORRIS and a child Henry is in the family right age for the first marriage and a second son Gilphy SMITH, most likely child of second marriage. Any suggestions or clues would be most appreciated. Kathleen Burnett

Merry Christmas, Kathleen. Have a safe, healthy and happy holiday. Paula Franklin

Dear List Members, It is that time of year again when we suddenly will have an influx of new online genealogy enthusiasts with their holiday gift computers that are usually newer and faster than what many of the rest of us have. For a great many of them, it will be their first time online. Some of them will make mistakes and some may (will) unintentionally do things and write things that may be irritating to us and against what we have set up as our list rules. Please take this into consideration in advance and be helpful to them. If things get out of hand, know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problems. Just remember, one of these new members might hold the clue you have been searching for. Let us not discourage them before they have a chance to learn how this works. I would like also to take this time to wish each of you and yours a wonderful and safe Holiday Season. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

I can not wait to see all this . thanks, Janet BossMann

Just to let everyone know I have not forgot my promise to post about the Hollingsworth book on the coal miner - my computer drive will not save and since I like to save what I post, soon as I can get it repaired I will be back posting. Hope all has Happy Holidays. delilah evans

This will only work with some viruses and some email programs. This method was mailed to several list the last big outbreak and some viruses are smart enough to pick a start other than the beginning or end and some don't organize the list the same way. Other mail programs won't let you add an invalid address like the one in the message. Best thing is still good antiviral software and caution in what you open. The one I am using is freeware from the address in the certification stamp below.
