My friends - Today, we will conclude the extractions for the JP region, as taken from Anderson Chenault Quisenberry's 1896 work, "Revolutionary Soldiers in Kentucky". The list below will show the names of the soldiers for Calloway and McCracken counties in the JP. Of course, Quisenberry's work covers all KY counties, but I am extracting only those portions which pertain to our area of study which are the JP counties. If you see a soldier's name in the list, and would like the full dataset for that individual(which usually includes the rank of the veteran and in what state service he served, as well as the amount of the pension and the date the veteran was entered on the pension roll, as well as his age. Rarely, there may be a death date given), please let me know and I will forward that information to you. As always, your assistance in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. Tomorrow, we will finish out the week with another in the Legal Terminology series. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Revolutionary War Soldiers in KY - Calloway & McCracken Counties Calloway County: Bridges, Benjamin Barham, John Cooke, Robert Greenwood, Joseph Glover, Joseph Henson, Jesse Sr. Hamlett, John Jones, John McGrew, Thomas Meloan, Andrew Mullins, Charles Owens, George Oglivie, Kimbrough Stone, Rowland Smith, Thomas Taylor, Edmund West, Leonard Dunn, Joseph Frizzel, Nathan Galloway, Charles Wilkins, William McCracken County: Gamblin, Joshua Lovelace, Elias Lynn, William T.

Hi All! I am new to the group and I am not sure where to address my inquiries. I am researching the Haymes family and associated families such as York's, Starks, Paces, etc. I have a specific question. I read in the Lemon "History of Marshall County" that Jarrett Haymes lived most of his life in Marshall County except for 2 years in Illinois and one in Texas. Does anyone know where he lived in Illinois? Jerry Crute

Hi Bill, Please send me Clanton, BJ (f). Thanks Nina

Hi all, I just recieved a Social Security Application in the mail. The application was made in 1937. My relative listed his employer/business as: J.W. Lockwood, 311 Kentucky Ave, Paducah KY Does anyone know what type of business this was? Thanks Merilee

David, I checked out your site and was delighted to see some of my Galloway kin on it. I sent you a note by your own e-mail address, but it was returned to me with a "permanent fatal error" and "undeliverable address" note. Your Abner Galloway was the younger brother of my great grandmother, Mary Malinda Galloway Miles. He was born in 1881 and died in 1940. He was married to Zelda Rachel Harding. I have no other information on the rest of his and Zelda's family other than first names, though I remember Aunt Zelda and have met a couple of their sons. I do have further information on the Galloway family, if you're interested. Malinda Hawthorne Port Arthur, Texas

Thought this correction might help someone out. I requested several birth records from Bill's postings , including a couple to recheck my own information. Included was this entry: " Adams, Elizabeth Jane-b.12 January 1859-dau. of J.W. Adams and Martha Cranfill" "dau.of " should read "I.W. Adams. " His name was Issac Wiles Adams. Of course, the "I" and "J" in longhand script look alike. Elizabeth married Anderson White Galloway, half-brother of my great-grandmother, Mary Malinda Galloway Miles. Malinda Hawthorne

And I thought MY Jones' were a mess! I'd appreciate a holler from any Jones researches who know this bunch: 1. John Jones (b ca 1802 KY or ?) -m- Louisa (unknown?) 2. Susan F. ("Muggy") Jones (b ca 1832 KY or TN) ) -m- Jan 7, 1850 in Henry Co. TN to William Henry Cole 2. Mary H. Jones (b ca 1835) 2. Thomas J. Jones (b ca 1840) 2. John W. Jones (b ca 1845) Thanks Pat Wilson ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Hi Bill, Could you send the information about the following couple from today's post on Early Hickman Co. Marriages, Part 15: Hudson, Henry Spicer, Patsy BTW, this is a great list and the information you so tirelessly download for our benefit is amazing and much appreciated! Thanks a million. Lonna Jean (Idaho)

Thanks so much Carey. That is a BIG help. TERRY <The Alliance was the predecessor of the Populist Party which represented Farmers in the revolt of the 1890's. Carey Rogers who used to read this stuff in college>

I agree with Jennifer. I uploaded my gedcom to Rootsweb, and it is a very useable place for others to look. Also they can put in a postem note and it will come to you by email, and others can see that too. In case anyone would like to see how it comes out, mine is at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=dray11 Dave

I got this from another list I am on. Many of you probably already know about it but ..... Jennifer This is a plea for everyone to investigate uploading your database to the Rootsweb World Connect Project. This is free, and you will find that you have extensive control over your uploaded database. You can privatize to any extent that you wish and can also prevent downloads of your file. You can also easily make corrections and additions to it or remove it if you wish. Here is the URL: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/

The Alliance was the predecessor of the Populist Party which represented Farmers in the revolt of the 1890's. They started out as a social and economic organization, i.e. organizing buyers and producers cooperatives but became more involved in politics. The Alliance grew increasingly dissatisfied with the Republican and Democratic Parties and started the Populist Party as a result. The two main parties accused the Populist of being "revolutionaries and anarchists" etc. etc. In the South the Democrats accused the Populists of being for "race equality" and used race baiting to defeat them. The Democrats nominated William Jennings Bryan in 1896 after he gave the "Cross of Gold" speech at the convention. After being cooped by the Democrats the Populist Party disappeared. Some of its leaders, such as Tom Watson, became racist Democrats and helped solidify the one party South on a whites only basis. C. Vann Woodward has a good chapter on the Southern alliance in Origins of the New South 1877-1913 by LSU Press and Larry Goodywn wrote a good book but I can't remember the title.

To all my friends who are searching, as I; Let me apologize in advance, to those of you who may be on several sites, and receive this more than once, but I'm begining to feel some desperation, (smile) as the only Marshall JONES I've been able to find that remotely fits the dates of my great grandfather, appears to have been married to another woman (see below). Now, I'm wondering, is he the same man? Or, has anyone else run into plural marriages while doing their searches? Incidently, I spelled the names as I found them to be written on records. >> My grandfather was Lawrence E. JONES and he died in Henry CO, >> TN. He had brothers, Charlie JONES and Samuel JONES and a sister Lula >> JONES. >> >> It is said that he was born in Weakley Co TN >> >> My ggrandfather was Marshal JONES who was married to Amanda German HUGLE/Hugle/Huzle/Huglely (I've found variations on the name.) The only Marshal JONES I've been able to find that would vaguely fit my Marshal JONES was >> married to a woman in Sullivan County, TN and her last name was WARREN. >> >> So, in checking the TN Census, I couldn't find him, Marshal JONES, in Henry Co except one >> time in 1870 and it shows as follows: JONES, Marshal, farmer, age 24, >> farmer; JONES, Amanda, age 26, housekeeper; JONES, William, age 7; JONES, >> Samuel, age 3; JONES, James, age 8 mos. (figured he was born in Oct. 1869); >> HAGUL, Mary, age 14 househand; HAGUL, Tabitha, age 47, househand. >> >> I can only "assume", which I hate doing, that Tabitha HAGUL was Amanda's >> mother. >> >> However, jumping forward to the 1910 Henry Co Census I found JONES, Lawrence >> E. , with wife Lula (Weakes), and children Curtis, Sadie, Mary and a man >> named WARREN, William living in the household. >> >> Then in another household, for 1910, I found JONES, Charley J., (head) >> Jones, Mandy G. (mother) and JONES, Lula M. (sister). Charley's death record reads that his name was Charley Reed JONES, born in Weakley County in 1876 to Marshall JONES and Manda HUGEL. He died in Henry in 1942. >> >> It was through death records that I learned the mother's middle name was >> "German." They had also named one of my aunt's Medie German JONES. Samuel JONES allegedly went to >> Weakley Co and I "think" one of his son's was named Clyde(?) but he, Sam, >> also had a bunch of kids. >> One of the JONES's was a deputy sheriff in Martin, TN and his nickname was allegedly "Bulldog" JONES. The story in the family went that he had killed a man in Martin and told everyone that if they didn't vote him in as sheriff then they would be next to die and consequently he was elected. Well, now, surely someone would remember such a tale, were it true. But, I asked P.J. and heaven only knows, P.J. has got to be among the greatest on the Weakley County History and, bless her little ol heart, she couldn't find a darned thing for me. (Thanks, anyway, P.J.) >> I have no idea what happened to William JONES or the James JONES that shows >> in the 1870 census as mentioned above. >> >> By the way, Marshal JONES disappears from everything on the year that his >> daughter Lula JONES was born. (I think that was in 1885, but I'll have to >> double check) Well, I communicated with someone who is from the >> JONES-WARREN family and she said that her Marshal JONES died that year and >> he's buried up near Sullivan Co (Hancock, I think). So, we're trying to >> figure out if our Marshal JONES is one and the same. >> >> >> Hugs, Virginia (Jones) in St. Louis, MO

My friends - Today, we will return to our review of early Hickman County marriages. We had worked our way up to the year 1839, and we will continue with that year in this segment. If you see a couple in the list below in which you have an interest, and you would like the full dataset for that marriage(which, unfortunately usually consists of only the date of marriage, although there are a few license dates, or the occasional witness or consent), let me know and I will get that data out to you. As always, your help in not resending this message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. Tomorrow, we will have the second and concluding part of the Quisenberry work on soldiers in the JP region. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Early hickman County Marriages - Part 15 Reeves, Sidney P.

My friends - The tenured members of this List, when they see the Subject line reading "Administratavia", very likely say to themselves, "What's happened now?", as these sorts of posts are generally connected with unfortunate circumstances in which List guidelines have been violated, resulting in the removal of a subscriber, or some other unpleasantness. Today, however, such is not the case. I want to make you aware of a growing problem that I am experiencing, which is placing me in the old "Catch-22" scenario. Over the past six to eight weeks, I have been noticing requests for data coming to me from e-mail addresses that are not familiar. Since we have nearly 600 subscribers to this List, and about 100 to each of the other three lists which I host in the JP(Marshall, Hickman and Calloway), I cannot, obviously, be familiar with everyone's address. However, I started checking these unusual addresses against the subscriber lists, and, over these weeks, I found that I have received a total of 97 data requests from people who do not subscribe to any of the lists which I host. Probably 75% of them are requests for a land grants text file, and the other 25% are coming from visitors to the JP and other lists' archives. The JP Land Grants web page has no meta tags, and the search engine crawlers should not be picking up that web site, although I now see that Altavista has it shown as "Blank". Some of the added traffic may be coming from that link. As I am sure you can appreciate, I try very diligently to respond to data requests for our subscribers within 48 hours. Usually, I get the responses back within 24 hours. As our JP List has grown, so, too, have the requests for data, which is to be expected. The dilemma I am now facing, on a growing scale, is what to do with these "external" requests(requests from folks who are not subscribers). I do not want to simply ignore the requests(even though, in the case of land grants requests, the JP Land Grants web site states clearly that the use of that page is for subscribers to the three lists only) I am getting, but, by the same token, I think my first loyalty must be to subscribers of this List, and to the subscribers of the other lists which I host. That, then, leads to the incidences of people subscribing to the List only long enough to get the file they want and then unsubbing. So it is a thorny problem, and I am not certain yet what action I will take. I may have to take down the JP Land Grants web site, although I do not want to do that, as I think it is a resource for all of us, and especially for new subscribers who join us. It all boils down to a matter of time, in the last analysis. I am stretched pretty thin as it is now, and handling additional requests from folks who are not a part of our List "family" takes away from my being able to do other things for the List. I'll keep you posted on how this all plays out, but since this situation has a direct effect on this List and its subscribers, I wanted to make you aware of it. I will be back shortly with today's data posting. -B ============================================================

Ron, Now that you mention your family was in Lancaster Co,(district), SC --- that's also where my ADAMS family line migrated from -> to Alabama. Our family (and many others too) were offered land in the new territories around 1820 (ALA became a state in 1819 & MISS. in 1820 or '21) for a very small sum. You may be familiar with land patenting. This is what my ggg-granpa ADAMS and others did to gain moe land, thus better opportunities for their families. It also eased the crowding in these areas of SC. Either families were so big that the family land had become just small parcels, too small to support another generation of a large family, or -- the lure of the "west" was always calling our forefathers onward. Many had the opportunity, also, to participate in land lotteries in their individual states. Just a few ideas that might help you in your search. Martha

Hi All, Great granpa FIELDS from Ballard Co, was a member of the Farmer's Alliance & Industrial Union back in the 1890's. I have some documentation on the membership, but nothing else. Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this oganization & what their function might have been. Also, if there might be some records housed somewhere for them that could be viewed or copied. Thanks, Terry

One of several brick walls for me on my Dad's lines is my Great Grandfather, Thomas Ivey ELLIOTT. Are there any ELLIOTT researchers out there. Or, more specifically anyone who connects with IVEY women married to ELLIOTT men? Any help appreciated. Gary

There is an error in the list of Pensioners. From Estill County Kentucky Lawrence WARE should read Lawrence WARD. I know Estill County isn't included in the Jackson Purchase but the list of Veterans or Pensioners I saw covered the whole State. Lawrence WARD is my ancestor from Prince William County Virginia. Thank you, Joy

My friends - Due to some other committments which will restrict my computer time this evening, there will not be a data posting today. I will try, however, to respond to requests that I have received before the night is over. We will resume data posts tomorrow. Until then....... -B ============================================================
