Hi Listers, A question asked a few months back. Where was Chalk Level located ???? Chalk level, according to THE DAWSON SPRINGS PROGRESS July 25, 1974 Centennial Edition VILLAGE FIRST CALLED CHALKLEVEL Dawson Springs History Has a Colorful Past As in the case of most locations in this country, Indians were the first inhabitants of the area which is now Dawson Springs. The earliest reference to a settlement where the city now stands is given in the first edition of Collin's History of Kentucky. The settlement is described as being located 18 miles southwest of Madisonville and four miles southwest of Charlestown. The village was called CHALKLEVEL, It is now Dawson Springs, Hopkins Co, Ky. Located on the Hopkins-Caldwell Co. line..

How do I know? I get all the bounces. Plus I am getting angry e-mail from folks I have never heard of who have received the SPAM with the attached (or embedded) virus. I was even threatened with a lawsuit. UCLA is getting a lot of abuse e-mail, complaining about me. I am using PINE for my e-mail. It is a no-frills UNIX e-mail program which can neither receive nor send attachments. If I have files to send anyone, I am uploading the files and sending the recipient the URL of the file so they can snag it. I have anti-virus protection on my system, download the latest virus definitions at least twice a day, and run a full anti-virus scan of my computer every day. If you receive any message that says it came from me, look at the headers to be sure it really came from me. If it includes an attachment (or is a very large message), it probably did not come from me. Please forward this message to any and all USGenWeb lists, as I am not on many lists.

If you are researching in Hopkins County, you'll be pleased to learn that I have just uploaded the entire 1850 Annotated Census for Hopkins Co. This would not have been possible without the countless hours Jim Laffoon spent on this project over the past 5 or 6 years. If your ancestors were in Hopkins or any of the surrounding counties in 1850 or thereabouts, you'll want to stop by and check it out. In addition to the annotations and sources that he has provided in the basic file, Carole Palmer, Webster Co CC and I will be working over the coming days and weeks to cross link the families from 1850 with those that appear in Webster Co in 1860. Between the Webster 1860 annotated census and the Hopkins 1850 annotated census, we have provided what can become a premier resource for your research in this area and this time period.

Hi Listers, Just found this address for the (recently back online) Bureau of Land Management's Site. I entered a few searches, and even with my telephone connection got the actual images in very little time. Check it out! http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ Ken G. ********************************************************************** "The Official Federal Land Patent Records Site" Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), General Land Office (GLO) Records Automation web site. We provide live access to Federal land conveyance records for the Public Land States. We also provide image access to more than two million Federal land title records for Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908. Images of Serial patents (land titles issued between 1908 and the mid-1960's) are currently being added to this web site. Due to organization of documents in the GLO collection, this site does not currently contain every Federal title record issued for the Public Land States.

A modern mother was explaining to her little girl about pictures in the family photo album. The mother said, "This is the geneticist with your surrogate Mother and here's your sperm donor and your father's clone. This is me holding you when you were just a frozen embryo." "Who is that?" asked the daughter. "Oh," answered the mother, "The lady with the very troubled look on her face is your aunt. She's the family genealogist." * * * * * Submitted by Bill Beckett [email protected] who writes: "This was sent to me by Pat Mooney [email protected] titled 'Modern Genealogy.'" and published in MISSING LINKS, Vol. 7, No. 12, 24 March 2002.

She is also listed in the "Caldwell County, KY Deaths" by Brenda Joyce Jerome. Eliza Fitts died of consumption 15 Apr 1852. Any ideas? Thanks, Rebecca [email protected]

Hi Listers, Back a few months, someone asked the question where in Caldwell Co. was Tennessee Precinct located?

Does anyboyd know anything about Richard CHILDS/CHILES/GILES who was in Caldwell Co., KY, in the first decades of the 1800's? Believe he had a daughter named Elizabeth (b. TN) who married William H. MOORE in Caldwell Co., KY, in 1839. Who was he? Where did he go? Thanks, Doug Powers W. Douglas Powers MA, MFA, PhD Assistant Professor of Theatre Department of Communications/Theatre Arts Susquehanna University Selinsgrove, PA 17870 570/372-4522

Does anybody have any information on William H. MOORE and Elizabeth CHILDS/CHILES/GILES who were married in Caldwell Co., KY, in 1839? I am trying to find his parents; believe her father was Richard B. CHILDS/CHILES/GILES. They had daughters Eliza Ann, Laura S., and a son named George. William H. was born in Logan Co., KY, according to the 1850 Caldwell Co., KY, census. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Doug Powers W. Douglas Powers MA, MFA, PhD Assistant Professor of Theatre Department of Communications/Theatre Arts Susquehanna University Selinsgrove, PA 17870 570/372-4522

Can anyone do a lookup for me? I am trying to find a marriage record for a Laura MOORE, married in Caldwell or Lyon Co. KY between 1850 and 1870. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Doug Powers W. Douglas Powers MA, MFA, PhD Assistant Professor of Theatre Department of Communications/Theatre Arts Susquehanna University Selinsgrove, PA 17870 570/372-4522

I also heard from Joey but he is the only one. He defiantly said he opposed this HB523 and would not vote for it. Here is a phone # 1-800-372-7181 you can Frankfort call to let them know you oppose this bill. You will need some of the senators name..................to get their attention. Emma Lou Tabor

I just received a phone call from Sen. Bob Jackson's sec'y. She wanted to be sure I had received the email he had sent to me. She said it looks like it's very possible that HB523 will not be sent to the Senate this session for a vote. She said that both Jackson & Pendleton will vote against the bill if it does and she verified that there has been a lot of negative response received about this bill. So keep up those phone calls......they must be working. Janie McKinney Downs

Dixon's of Caldwell County, Kentucky Author: Sheila Date: 11 Mar 2002 8:25 PM GMT Surnames: Dixon, Traylor Classification: Query This is a long shot, but it is always worth a try (so I'm told). Anyway, I am looking for a 'female' with the surname of Dixon that married a Traylor (with any of the different spellings). She would of died before 1915. She is or might be the mother of David Andrew Traylor. David's daughter could not remember her name, saying she (Dixon) passed before she (daughter) was born. Which is where I arrived with the death date before 1915. Any help, would be appreciated. Thanks Sheila Reply to: [email protected] **********************************************************************
