Linda Sue, can you take this one - it was probably in 1903 or 1904 - it was before he startd first grade as this man was a big help in teaching him prior to him going to school and that was something he said about him being missed - delilah evans At 12:49 8/2/01 EDT, you wrote: >Deliliah, >I think this is my g.g.grandfather he speaks of.Uncle Jackie Boss.do you >have a date he died in the book ?Wow if it is him i must have a copy of the >book.

Linda Sue, why don't you just post any comments you have concerning anything about the book to the list, whether it be after I send out something or not - you can explain the names (all I have are the names and names of places) so you could tell who they are and what your relationship is and answer any question anyone may have - if anyone has questions, please post them to the list and that way, everyone will get all the information and Linda who is much more qualified than myself can help more people tha just any questions I may have - delilah evans At 22:18 7/31/01 EDT, you wrote: >Delilah, > >I do not mind you sending to the list at all.

2 "Our landlord was a fine old gentleman, by the name of Jonathan Boss, everybody called him Uncle Jackie. He was Scotch-Irish, he taught school for years, was a Sunday school teacher, preached some, and was the Justice of the Peace of our district. For somwe reason I became Uncle Jackie's pet......." 3 "The night Uncle Jackie, our landlord died, I saw him dying in my dream and awoke Mother and Dad and told them of my dream. ....but within a few minutes a knock on the door by a neighbor telling us of Jackie's death came. Very few times did I tell anyone about my dreams but when I did tell my Mother, she listened and kept it to herself.." 4 "The schools in north Georgia in almost every case were held in church houses. Almost every school lasted only four months, never over six months. One teacher, one pot-bellied stove sitting in the middle of the room fired with wood the children's dads had cut and hauled to the school without pay. My first school was called Gerrets Chapel. One room, one teacher, sisty children, a few in every grade from the first to the eighth. Many of the boys were but in the fourth grade, the girls were further advanced in schooling than the boys and this was due mostly because the boys were kept out of school to help on the farm more than the girls............."

Thank you for the link. I did not have in in my saved links. Susan Wallen is the daughter of William Wallen and Mary Rogers of Walker Co., GA. They migrated there from Hamilton Co., TN and there from Lee Co., VA. - Is this your William - and if so - how do we connect? Again, thank you for sending the link.

Dear List Members, I have started a new Smith Mailing List for those researching Smith lines from Georgia. If you are interested in joining send only the word subscribe to SMITH-GA-L-request@rootsweb.com I hope this becomes another tool to help those of us researching those very difficult Smith Lines. Kathleen Burnett List Mom I also started the SMITH-AR, SMITH-OK AND SMITH-TN

Dear List Members, My head is getting bruised from banging it against my Smith brick wall. This has been going on for years and I don't seem to be making a dent. Thought I would again send out a query and see if anyone has run across this Smith Line. I first found James Middleton Smith in Hamilton Co., TN in the 1830 U.S. Census, with what seems his new bride in the house hold. (Susan Wallen b 1809 in Lee Co., VA) There are no children in the home. Living close to him was a Charles Smith U.S. Census 1830 Hamilton Co., TN - 10000001-0000001. In 1850 James and Susan are living at Lookout Mountain, Walker Co., GA with their family, as well as a Littleton Smith who I am guessing is a brother due to the fact Littleton and family will migrate with James and Susan between 1850 and 1860 to Randolph Co., AR. They are living in Cach, Randolph Co., AR. The children of James and Susan are as follows: William Smith b. abt 1830 Hamilton Co., TN, married a Margaret, sometime after 1850. In 1850 he was 20, single living with his parents. Sally Smith b. abt 1832 Hamilton Co., TN, have not been able to trace her in the migration to Randolph Co., AR I think she married in Hamilton Co., TN or in Walker Co., GA. Mary Smith, b. abt 1934 Hamilton Co., TN, married Samuel Sammons before migrating to Arkansas. Settled in Randolph Co., AR with rest of the family and remarried after the death of Samuel Sammons to Robert C. Stout. Priscilla Smith b. 18 Feb 1836 Hamilton Co., TN married William M. Stout about 1854 and migrated to Randolph Co., AR with her parents. Campbell Smith b. Jan 1839, Hamilton Co., TN married Angeline Davis in Randolph Co., AR Nancy Smith b. abt 1840 Hamilton Co., TN, no proof of marriage - migrated with parents. Caroline Catherine Smith b abt 1841, Hamilton Co., TN, no proof of marriage - migrated with parents. Martha Smith b. abt 1844, Walker Co., GA, no proof of marriage - migrated with parents. Tennessee J. Smith b. abt 1848, Walker Co., GA, married William James Sammons in Randolph Co., AR and married second time to the husband of Mary, her sister after Mary's death, Robert C. Stout. Henry Smith b. abt 1859 in Randolph Co., AR. Henry was last child of Susan Wallen Smith. She died fair shortly after his birth. James Middleton Smith married a second time in April of 1863 to Mary C. Morris of Randolph Co., AR. As for Littleton Smith he is also living at Lookout Mountain, Walker Co., GA in 1850 with his wife Bathsheba and two children, Elzy H. Smith b. abt 1840 and Mary A. Smith b. abt 1847. Littleton and Bathsheba were living in Randolph Co., AR by 1860 but both of her children are gone. If anyone knows of this family I would appreciate hearing from you. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

This is a question for you history experts. A friend called me today and asked me if I had ever heard that Dade Co. a few years back wanted to succede from Ga. and become Dade State. I told him no but that I would ask on the lists I am on and someone smarter than I may have some info I could pass on to him. Elsie

Elsie, It was reported that during May of 1860, when the General Assembly of Georgia could not agree over the question of secession and had debated the issue for days, Robert H. Tatum, "Uncle Bob", jumped up from the back of the General Assembly and shouted out "By the gods, gentlemen, if Georgia does not vote to immediately secede from the Union, Dade County will secede from Georgia and become the Independent State of Dade." Several days later when the issue still had not been settled, it was reported that Uncle Bob returned to Dade County where he called for a public meeting in Trenton. At this meeting, on the courthouse square, a vote was taken for Dade County to secede from Georgia. It supposedly remained this way until July 4, 1945. At this time, Dade County returned to the state of Georgia with much hoopla and fanfare. It was broadcast over a coast to coast hookup of the American Broadcasting Company and Paramount Motion Picture camera men were there to record the pageant over the twelve station southern network. Now, let me hasten to say this... I don't know if the story is true or not true. It is a story that has been around since the Civil War and there may be truth in it. However, no "official" records have ever been found in the General Assembly (or anywhere else) to document that it actually took place. Robert H. Tatum was a representative from Dade County at the time. I live here in Dade County and am proud of it. Part of my ancestors were in the county at the time this took place and I sure wish I could ask them... plus a few more questions. Hope this helps.
