My friends - The Bureau of Land Management website has been re-established, and is now available, after having been off-line due to security measures for a year or so, here: www.glorecords.blm.gov This is a valuable resource which has been sorely missed by those doing land research. -B =========================================================================

Hello Everyone, I'm back just in time for Christmas :) I had a time grabbing this on Album. I first seen it on Ebay back in the summer but was not lucky enough to win it, being the genealogy pest that i am i pestered the winner until he sold it to me..lol... The names in this Album are: Edmon & Rebecca Usher Miss Rebecca Wilson age 3 Mr. & Mrs. W.L. Willingham Rubye Carman Wallace Thurman Nall Julia Ann Wilson Oneye Puryear Katie Singleton May Perry Plus several unnamed old photos from Hopkinsville. Also in this album are a couple of hand written notes on the inside of the covers from Minnie Mathis dated 12-28-1907 "Folsomdale, KY" and one from Alice Tinsley dated 2-8-1918 from "Folsomdale, KY". Also written on the inside is "Robert to Rebecca Dec. 25, 1907" Also written to mark photos that are no longer there are these names: Mr. Mrs. B.Y. Wilson & family,over to the right there is a X and Rebecca written by it. So apparently this is Rebecca's parents? Next to that empty slot is another with this name "Ben Wilson 16 years" If anyone is interested in viewing these just let me know :) Hope this helps !

My friends - It is that time of the year again when families are gathering for the holiday season. I want to take this opportunity to wish all of our subscribers, on all of my lists, a very happy holiday experience and to encourage all to be safe if traveling is in your plans. If we revisit the 19th century, travel of any distance for Christmas, or any other holiday, was virtually impossible if long distances(which were perhaps 100 miles or more then)were involved. After the arrival of train travel, those with money enough could move to other places by that route, if the route passed to, or close by their destination. Recently, I have had a few inquiries about law dictionaries. Every dedicated genealogist should have a law dictionary in his/her resources. One resource that is online is the 1856 Bouvier's Law Dictionary (http://www.constitution.org/bouv/bouvier.htm), which is valuable for *some* of the ancient terms(as they are known)which do not appear in current law dictionaries, and there are others, such as Nolo's. The gold standard, however, is Black's Law Dictionary, published by West Law. It is now in its 8th edition. I would suggest, though, that if you are in the market for a law dictionary, that you peruse the used book dealer sites(www.alibris.com , www.abebooks.com , and others)to see if a 4th edition of Black's can be found. After the 4th edition, Black's abandoned the listings of ancient law terms, which we, as genealogists see very often in our work in deeds, wills and other documents, especially as we go further back into the colonial period. I have a very well thumbed 4th edition of Black's that I use very often in my own in-house resources. Shortly after the first of the year, I will have a poll question for our JP List subscribers, so stay tuned. Here are a couple of little puzzlers to think about over the coming weekend, if time permits. Is anyone familiar with the 19th century term "keeping batch"? And what quantity is a "turn" of corn? I'll be back next week with the definitions of the two terms. Happy Holidays! -B ====================================================================

Nina, with this information you should be able to get a death certificate for your Lucy. Parents of the deceased will be shown if known by the informant. There is also a L. A. Stubblefield who married J. D. Wells in Calloway Co. 12 Feb 1898.

Another suggestion: If you know the date she died in 1950, look for an obituary in the local newspaper, or try to find the funeral home which did the service. The funeral home may have additional information about her; names of parents, names of siblings, etc. The obituary may give names of siblings. Try following up on those names to see if you can find a death certificate for any of them giving parent names. Also, I'm assuming you have looked for a death certificate for Lucy? I would also try looking in the 1880 census for Stubblefield families in Calloway Co. Unless you know how old she was when she was married, she may still be in her family home. The Soundex would not necessarily list her, but the census would. The 1880 soundex was limited to families with young children. If her parents had young children they might be in the soundex, but would definitely be in the census. And of course, check for marriage records. If she married very young, there may be a parental release recorded. Some states required family information to be recorded at the time of the marriage application; others did not. See what Calloway required, and where the records are located. And good luck! Nona in Muncie

Nina, On the 1870 census records for Calloway County there are 2 different households that have a child named Lucy A Stubblefield. In one household the name is listed as age 7 and in the other household it is listed as age 6. Each of the households have appear to have a mother and father with several children listed. Do you know the names of any of your Lucy's brothers or sisters and apx years of birth?

Hello everyone! Just today I received my Calloway County Family History Book and I am very pleased. I was wondering about the Calloway County Picture History Book. Does anyone out there know when the Picture Book is due to be distributed or who I can contact to find out about it. I believe I pre-purchased the Picture Book also and just want to check up on it. Thanks, Daryl.

Dear List members, I have copied,word for word,the hand-written Preamble and Resolution of my Great Grandfather, John Lewellen Wallace. Three committee members names are at the bottom of the Preamble. With Bill's permission, I submit it to the Kentucky Jackson Purchase list. Copied from the original draft of the Preamble and Resolution for Mr. John Lewellen Wallace. This, along with deeds, notes and letters were given to Joyce Turner Watts from her mother, Agnes Green Turner. John Lewellen Wallace was Agnes Turner’s maternal grandfather. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1. Preamble and Resolution. Whereas it has pleased the Grand Architect of the Universe to summon our friend and much beloved Brother J. L. Wallace on January 22nd 1892 from this lodge upon earth to a state of endless duration and Whereas the Masonic tie which have so long bound us in mutual friendship and enjoyment to our devoted friend are severed no more to be united untill the grave shall yeald up her dead. 2. Bro. J. L. Wallace moved to Hickman Co. about three year ago from Graves Co. and has been a citizen of that Co from that time untill his death. He was 69 years old. 3. Bro. Wallace was made a member of Baltimore Lodge N. 361 January 11, 1890 and was a good Mason. Bro. Wallace was a member of the Babtist Church at Obion. Be it resolved that in the death of Brother J. L. Wallace Hickman Co. has lost a good citizen the neighborhood a good neighbor his children a good and affectionate father and the Mason fraternity a good and true member of the Order. Be it farther resolved that the resolution be spread upon the minutes of the lodge and a copy presented to his children and the members of the Order. We are the usual lodge of mourning for the space of 30 days. J. R. Watts J. R. Seay Jho Montgomery Committee VCI WebMail http://www.vci.net

I am looking for information regarding James Wilson Adams. I know very little about him; however, he was my g grandfather and I would enjoy knowing more about him. I do know that he served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He was a farmer in W. KY; however, I believe he was born in W TN and moved to KY before the C. War. I believe he is buried in Graves Co. I have a picture of him and my g grandmother, but very little information. Thanks for any help that anyone can offer. I know Adams was a fairly common name which makes it difficult to research. Tremon Ellegood

What additional information do you have regarding your g-grandfather? * Do you know what his wife's name was? * What was the name of his child that either you grandfather or grandmother? * Do you know apx when he died? The answers to these questions would be helpful in identifying him among various historical records like census records, etc. Howard McGhee -----Original Message----- From: t.ellegood@insightbb.com [mailto:t.ellegood@insightbb.com] Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 11:48 AM To: KYJacksonPurchase-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYJP] Unidentified subject!

Does anyone have information about a Mrs. Rosa Hubbard that lived in Hickman? Her name might be Rose rather than Rosa. I am helping my son with a research project(due this Wed.) and my mother told me that John Phillip Sousa, the musician, had once stayed in Hickman at the Hubbard home. Mr. Hubbard was a river boat captain and had brought Mr.Sousa home as a guest. Time period was approx. pre 1937. This is based on when my mother was told this by Mrs. Hubbard. Any information will be helpful. Thanks Jane

My friends - Following my last posting on the Masonic lodges in the JP region in the 19th century, I inadvertently omitted two. One of these is the lodge at Millburn(# 170), and other is the lodge at Dukedom. Since Dukedom is partly in KY and partly in TN, and since it does not appear in the KY histories of lodges, it is likely that the Dukedom lodge was administered through the Grand Lodge of Tennessee, rather than its sister entity in KY. As a result, records for the Dukedom lodge would be held by the Grand Lodge of Tennessee. There were other fraternal orders in those days, of course, such as the Woodmen of the World(WOW), The Order of the Eastern Star(which permits Master Masons and, uniquely, wives and some other female relatives to be members), the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine(the Shriners - organized in 1872 for Master Masons), The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, established in 1862, and several others. I suspect that many of us have seen the gnarled tree grave markers in various cemeteries over the years, which indicates that the deceased was a member of the WOW. While I have not researched the available records of these other organizations, it is my understanding that the WOW, in particular, does hold some historical records on its members, and some of the other groups may also hold some records on their 19th century members. I am still working on the brief histories of each JP lodge, and will have that ready and posted shortly. -B ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bill, I noticed that my g. g. grandfather was a member of the Blue Lodge and the K of H, which I think stands for Knights of Honor. Do you know anything about those? billco@ARN.NET wrote: > My friends - > > Following my last posting on the Masonic lodges in the JP region in > the 19th century, I inadvertently omitted two.
