Hi Sherm Did you get an answer to your inquiry on Pruett? I thought that you had seen his grave at Leavell Hill. My personal Leavell Hill Cemetery file shows the following: Pruett, J S 1882-1915 (Larger rock illegible. Believe this was the Pruett who was shot at the Gibsonia Store in 1915. Arthur Tite, also buried here in 1915 was the other party shot. They allegedly shot each other.) Bob

>From another marriage license copy received yesterday from the office of the Gallatin County Clerk: (This marriage was performed on January 8, 1904, in Shawneetown, Gallatin Co. by Conrad Edwards, Justice of the Peace.) Groom: (Andrew) Gilbert McGehee, farmer, age 19, of Shawneetown. (Born Shawneetown, 1885. Died Hope, Arkansas, June 20, 1919.) Parents: William Smith McGehee Jennie Pelham Bride: Laura Westbrook, age 18, of Junction. (Born Saline Co. IL. Died Illinois, date unknown.) Parents: Booker Bennett Westbrook Mary Louisa Courtney Witnesses: Walker (or Walter) Holbrook Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Does anyone know where or when Laura Westbrook McGehee died? I know her daughter, Gilberta McGehee Mileur, died at Murphysboro, Jackson Co. IL in 1976. There were 3 other children living when Gilbert died in 1919 and they were all brought back to Gallatin Co. by Laura after Gilbert died. They were Jenny Marguerite McGehee and William C. McGehee, born Gallatin Co. abt. 1906, and another baby who was born in Texas about 1913. Mary Ann Webber

Nothing on Benjamin Jones. You know, the probate part of the book is a very small part of the county probate records.

Barbara, As I was searching through the text of book 2 (on screen), through all the garble I saw Martin Inman several times, and that with the town Inman, I thought part of the article was about him. It was not. It is a Business Directory and has mention of Martin Inman as was in advertisements in 1872 - 1873. Below are extracts from that. Also, I was very surprised that I did not find Martin's grave. I will check again but don't think it is listed. D. U. Sells was a tinner and Martin Inman announced the arrival of his boat with a stock of almost everything. John D. Richeson, whsale. & retail dry goods, groceries, hardware & iron. (This and the Carroll Store, now separate, were popular in our area.) Inman was now Inman & Sons, dry gds. & groceries. We always keep a good stock. James Hanmore advertised that his Family Flour was stocked by Martin Inman and H. O. Docker as well as J. P. Chester and first three above named. Another Shawneetown ad was that of Martin Inman, mfr of furniture of all kinds, chairs, sash, doors, binds, flooring, siding and lath. Prices as low as at Evansville or Cincinnati. In some lines these towns were the main competitors of Shawneetown, one can think of many reasons why.

Barbara, There is a nice article on Martin Inman in Book #2 but I will have to edit that part of the book before I can send it to you. Will try to get it tonight.

Volume 1, published in 1973 contains a short history of the county as well as inscriptions from its some 90 cemeteries, surviving in the 1950s, along with their approximate locations. The abandoned ones were complete. The more than 6,000 inscriptions are indexed by surname. It also contains the indexed names of the county's that landowners who bought U.S. Govt. land from the U.S. land office located in Shawneetown after 1814, Township of entree also shown.

Dave -- I'm feeling envious and disabled, not having Book #2 and not having anything on the hard drive.

Looking for information on a William VINSON that was married to a Mary Elizabeth STATON. William VINSON born ca. 1849 in Illinois. William apparently later married a SARVER. William VINSON and Mary STATON had daughter Jennie Elnora VINSON born ca. 1871. Any information on this line appreciated. Thanks, Glenn.

As Lori said, there are just too many Williams to extract them all from the books. Because I have book 2 and part of book 1 on my hard drive, I can copy & paste without typing everything below is book #2 and the first few entries from book #1.

Santa Claus arrived early today when I opened my mail box and found an envelope from Elizabeth Wargel, Gallatin Co. Clerk. A few weeks ago I ordered 4 Marriage Licenses from her office and 3 of them were a shot in the dark. She sent me all 4! (These were all dated after 1900 and weren't in the online Marriage Index.) Now I have learned some missing maiden names and in one case the missing bride's name. I will post only one bride and groom tonight. Does anyone out there have these names? Thomas Jefferson Brummett (son of Elijah and Lavinia Viers Brummett and the brother of my grandfather)) was born in Cumberland Co. KY in 1879. On December 16, 1902, he married Minnie Shaffer (daughter of John Shaffer and Alice (?) Ffawk? Flarvle? Flawle? Both bride and groom gave Kentucky as their birthplace and Saline Mines, Gallatin Co. as their current residence. The marriage was performed by a Justice of the Peace in Saline Mines. Was Saline Mines a small town? Does any one have any of these names? Mary Ann Webber
