Fellow researchers. I need help in locating a book. I am looking for: Murray County, Tennessee: Historical Sketches by Jill K. Garrett that was published in 1967. I need a xeroxed copy of the title page and if the publisher of print date is on another page, that one too. I also need pp. 35-36. If you have access to this book, please contact me privately. I need these copies as soon as possible. Thank you. Harriet DeLaughter thedelaughters@worldnet.att.net

I would like info on a place in Fulton, Fulton Co. KY. called the Greenhouse. My ggrandfather George W LYON d March 1, 1887 in the Greenhouse in Fulton, Fulton Co Ky.

A brother-in-law by the name of FAGAN (not sure of first name) was a J P in Fulton. Can someone tell me were I can find out about them? Thanks for your help Betty Lyon Starrett Jacksonville, Ar

The answer to this question is a bit complicated, but briefly, here it is. The alien individual had to first file a Declaration of Intention to become an American citizen. This document basically was a renunciation of the alien's allegiance to any foreign government of potentate. This declaration would, in most cases, preceed the petition to become a citizen by two years or more. However, five years of residency in the US was required, except for a very short time when the law was changed. There were many, many aliens who waited much longer than the five years as required by law, and there was also a good many aliens who filed Declaration of Intention documents, but never followed up with the petition to become a US citizen. The short answer to the question is five years, but becoming a US citizen was a fairly involved process in the 19th and early 20th centuries. -B ============================================================ At 09:23 PM 08/31/1999 -0700, you wrote: >Can anyone tell me how many years residency would have been required in >the 1850s in order to become a U.S. citizen?

My friends - Today, we are beginning a new series on Hickman County - the 1840 census population schedules. There were approximately 3000 person enumerated in Hickman County in 1840. If you see a name of interest, and you would like the full age enumerations for that household, let me know and I will get that information to you. As a reminder, the census records, until the year 1850, named only the head of each household, and the others living in that household were shown as stroke marks in columns representing various age groups. As always, your help in not resending this entire message back to me with your request is greatly appreciated. We have had four new subscribers join this List over the past day or two, and I want to welcome them, and invite them to post their research needs in the 8 counties of the KY Jackson Purchase region here to the List, with the hope that we can be of help in their quest. I also invite them to peruse the JP Images web site(the URL is in the Welcome Message), as well as the searchable JP List Archives, which can be found here: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=KYJacksonPurchase-L Again, welcome. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hickman County - 1840 Census - Heads of Households - Part 1 Garrison, N.M.

In the history of Geauga County, OH it talks about the first election and says that David Allison was elected "fence viewer."

Does any one have an 1840 census and can you tell me What Murrell or Merrell families were in Graves County at that time? If it is on line some where I will look it up my self.. Thanks, Pat Murrell Mata

Please send me the complete info on Fondaw, W.A. and Heard, M. J. Thanks Joey Fondaw jbugg@apex.net icq # 27725808

<< What Murrell or Merrell families were in Graves County at that time? >> H Pat....just happened to have the 1840 census right in front of me, helping someone else. Sorry to say the index does not list the surnames Murrell nor Merrell. The closest I found was David MERRIT, age 30-40, living alone, as head of house. Since these records were copied from hand-written pages, I thought the name was worth mentioning. Regards, Diane103@aol.com

My friends - Today, we are going to return to our look at late 19th century marriages in Graves County. In the first installment, we worked with 1888 marriages. We will resume with that year today, although there may occasionally be an 1887 marriage record which was re-recorded in this book. If you see a marriage which is of interest to you, and your would like the full data set(which usually includes the date of the marriage, who performed the ceremony, where the ceremony occurred, and whether the groom and bride were of age), 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.

E.W., I noticed your posting of Sunday concerning Jane "Ginsey" Williams. Was Williams her married or maiden name. My husband has a Patience Williams in his ancestrt line who married Woodson Roffe on Jan 16, 1823 in Granville Co. NC. They moved to TN sometime between 1825 and 1830 and were in Weakley Co. by 1850 (census). Have you ever seen this name in connection with your family. Thank you , Jennifer Pursell

Hi all: A heartfelt thank you to all that responded to my posting regarding the name "Jincy". I guess, it wasn't very uncommon after all. Three said it was a nickname for Jane, one said Jeane, and one said Virginia. Two indicated French orgins, although born in Virginia. This Jackson Purchase mail list is best----everyone ready to respond and share information. I am overwhelmed with the number of responses, Thank you, one and all. Barbara
