Bill: Please forward the info on the marriage of E.H. Lamm and Mollie Shelton (Graves County 1887-1888). Thank you. Jewell

My husband and I are both retired so we are agreeable to any date that you decide. Thanks so much for your efforts. Nadene Johnson

Please send me a copy of the file. Bailey is one of the surnames I am researching. Thanks

It is located on what we all called the middle road, I' m not sure the exact highway number, but you can ask anyone in Fulton/South Fulton and they can tell you. It is the same road that takes you right into Cayce, KY from Fulton. Its about 2.5 miles out of the city of Fulton, very easy to find. The cemetery is right next to the Church, Palestine United Methodist Church.

Please send me information on this cemetery. Thank you,--Alicia

Bill, I would appreciate a copy of that file. Thanks Marsha bwhiz@mindspring.com

My friends - I am dropping by today to let you know that I have now finished coverting the old Wordstar text file containing the burials in the New Concord Cemetery in Calloway County. This is a fairly large cemetery, with about 400 burials. It has burials for individuals with birth dates in the late 1700's, and I get requests about burials in this cemetery frequently. There are many well known and "popular" surnames in this cemetery.The surnames contained in this cemetery are: Acree, Atkins, Allbritten, Armstrong, Bailey, Barnett, Baucum, Baugh, Bibb, Boyle, Brandon, braswell, Boze, Brown, Bucy, Burton, Byerly, Champion, Chrisman, Coleman, Colley, Cook, Cooper, Darnell, Dick, Dugger, Duke, Dunn, Eastwood, Edwards, Elkins, Ferguson, Fielder, Forrest, Garner, Gregory, Guerrant, Hamlin, Hatfield, Hendon, Henry, Hicks, Hood, Housden, Hutchens, Jackson, Jewell, Kindred, Kline, Knight, Lassiter, Lauris, Lawson, Lax, Lee, Locke, Logan, Lovins, Mallory, Marberry, Marr, McCuiston(numerous), McIntosh, Meador, Michaux, Miller, Montgomery(numerous),Morris, Morton, Moss, Nance, Osborn, Owen, Parham, Patterson, Perry, Pruitt, Risenhoover, Rose, Rowlett(numerous), Saunders, Shackleford, Skaggs, Smith, Spiceland, Stephenson, Strader, Stubblefield(very numerous),Swann, Taylor, Thurman, Turner, Underwood, Valentine, Venable, Wall, Waters, Wesson, West, Wheatley, Willis, Wilson, Winchester(numerous), Wray, and Wyatt. If you would like to have copy of this file, please let me know and I will forward it to you. I will send it as a plain text attachment to an e-mail unless you specify that you need it by *straight* e-mail. You will receive the complete file, as time constraints will not allow me to go into the file and extract data about individual surnames. I'll be back later with the solution to the latest Skills Puzzler. -B ============================================================

My friends - We will close out this week's data postings with yet another in the Skills Puzzler series. We have discussed the use of tax lists(or "rolls") from time to time here on the List. Our Puzzler today is another exercise in connecting clues to point toward a possible solution or answer. And I should probably say again that in genealogy, there are very few absolutes. Our best deductive methods should be made up of a well rounded knowledge of all of the "little things" that we may find that, held up in single file, do not really tell us anything. But linking the small things together may give us a pointer toward the direction we need to explore. As it has been said, "We should not be looking up our ancestors - we should be tracking them down". This Puzzler is reasonably straight forward. In an 1840 census, we find the man we are researching - Cornelius Knothead. He is shown as a male head of household, in the 50-60 age group. He does not appear in the 1850 census at all, although there are several other Knothead families in the county. We go to the tax rolls and find him there from 1839 through 1844, when he disappears from the tax roll. The county in which we are working is a "burned" county - there are no records prior to the year 1872, except for the marriage book and court minutes in the period 1838-1849, which were saved. The tax rolls are available since a copy was made for the state government. The question before us is this: What happened to Cornelius Knothead? Did he move out of the county in the 1844-1845 time frame, did he die in that period, or did something else happen to him? What do we do to try to determine the answers to those questions? If you want to offer your thoughts on this Puzzler, please feel free to send them to the List, or to me. I'll be back with the solution over the weekend at some point. As usual, there will be no data posts per se over the weekend, but I am working on a cemetery transcription or two, and if time permits, I'll be back with those offerings. I hope your weekend is pleasant and genealogically rewarding. -B ============================================================

Bill reference above subject, I need information on Phoebe Swift, also my folks (Landon) came to Calloway County (around Backusburg) about 1810. If any of your prior list has information on them please let me know. Thanks Mike

Greetings, I am a descendant of John Priestly Alexander of Henry Co., Tenn. I was wondering if anyone has ever come across the Priestly name as a surname in the Jackson Purchase area?

My friends - Today, we are returning to our review of the 1840 census of Graves County. The individuals shown in the list below are the heads of households in that census year. If you see a name which is of interest to you, and you would like the full age enumeration for that household, let me know and I will forward that data on to you. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back with your request is greatly appreciated. I have shown the enumerations for the Copelands in the list below, recognizing that we have a large group interested in that family. We will be rounding out the week tomorrow with another in the Skills Puzzler series(since we had an installment in the "Tips" series earlier this week). I will also be addressing our JP Homecoming 2000 event over the weekend with those who are in that mail group. As we go along, I may put up a simple web page for use by those interested in attending the event. We have had about 6 new subscribers join this List in the past few days, and I want to welcome them and invite them to post their research needs for the 8 counties of the KY Jackson Purchase region here to the List. There is a very good possibility that someone on this List can be of assistance in some fashion. I also invite our new subscribers to visit the Jackson Purchase Images web site and the Jackson Purchase FAQ site(the URL's were in the Welcome Message you received when you subscribed). In addition, the searchable JP List Archives are available for your use at this location: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KYJacksonPurchase-L This searchable archive contains the 2500+ postings to the JP List in the past 18 months of its existence, including my 300+ data posts.
