I wanted to add that I currently have two copies of the 1930 McCreary County Census on hand which could be shipped immediately with no waiting for printing if you are thinking of ordering that book. (The book is still available for ordering also.) Thank you, Margy

Hello Friends & Cousins; I know that some of you have given up on it but the 1930 Whitley County Census Book is at last ready to ship. (It was a HUGE project!) I have transcribed the complete census into a two-volume set with about 50 pages of photographs from the county and index. The two volumes total 1069 pages and includes 29,730 people. Each volume is indexed separately and each volume contains articles and pictures significant to the area and the time period. One feature of the books that I am proud of is the inclusion of census enumeration maps which are hard to comeby and can be extremely helpful to family researchers. The books have color covers and tons of information. The Whitley County books contain several more blocks of data than my McCreary County Census book, along with an improved format. Every page contains district information too - so no more searching back through the book to see which district you are looking at. The books are available individually or as a set. I have uploaded several pictures of the book along with ordering information, on my Pastseeker website. If you are interested, please allow the pictures all to load and read all the details. <http://www.pastseeker.com/books/whitleybk.shtml> Please let me know if you have any questions that are not answered there. I will get back to you as quickly as I can but be patient as I have a full-time job that takes me away from home. Sincerely, Margy

He said we had come to see my grandmother and her brother Verlone Strunk. My aunt Geneva Worley Strunk said she as the body on her way to school. Maxine

Hi Maxine, In the article the people are saying they had to do a little searching to find the body and plane parts. I'm not sure where a mile northeast of Whitley City would be located. Hoyt Meadors is the one who went to the McCreary Record and had them look up the article. Hoyt served during WWII and was overseas at the time this happen. His mother wrote to him and told him about the man falling from the plane. He still has the letter his mom wrote to him and wanted the article to go along with the letter. It would be awful to even see the man falling. Thanks for your comments. Mary Lou > Didn't the body fall in Whitley City at the John Gerry house in the back > yard ?

The McCreary County Record, Feb. 11, 1943 Plane Near Whitley City Bowman Field Officer Says California Man Opened Outer Door By Mistake PANEL FOUND NEARBY; DOOR ON DAY RIDGE Mrs. Eliza Clark Locates Body Monday; Says She Watched It Fall The body of a soldier identified as Herman A. Tinder of Hollywood, Calif., who fell from an Army transport plane Sunday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock, was found at eight a.m. Monday a mile northeast of Whitley City. Coroner Sidney Taylor said the body was moved to the Stearns Undertaking Establishment late last night. It was not moved sooner on orders from the Army, he said. An officer from Bowman Field, Louisville, arrived this morning to conduct an investigation. The misunderstanding of an order given by the pilot of the plane was blamed by Major Ira J. Sellers, commander of the 27th Base Headquarters and Air Base Squadron, Bowman Field, for the accident. The pilot ordered Tinder to open the door leading from the cockpit, but Tinder misunderstood and opened the outer door of the plane, Major Sellers, who made a preliminary investigation, was quoted at Louisville by Major Gerald J. Fusco, Bowman Field public relations officer, as saying. The door, a double panel outlet, of aluminum, whipped open with Tinder holding on, Major Fusco said. The crew chief rushed to Tinder's aid, but he was thrown from the door and whipped against the plane body by the wind. The door battered against the body for perhaps five minutes, then tore loose and fell, Major Fusco said. He explained the door is made of an inner and outer panel, the door proper probably being the one found by Henry Gibson of the Day Ridge section of the county. The plane was bound from Bowman Field to Pope Field, near Fort Bragg, N.C., Major Fusco said. The body, clad in coveralls and with no parachute, was found lying in a pine thicket 100 yards from a narrow country road. Coroner Taylor said he identified the body from a metal identification tag around the soldier's neck. Also on the tag was the name, Mrs. Bessie Tinder, Hollywood, Calif., presumably either the mother or the wife of the victim. Coroner Taylor estimated his age at around thirty years. An aluminum panel was found twenty feet from the point where the body was located. The panel was constructed in such a manner that it could be detached. The panel, measuring approximately two by five feet, was painted the grayish black color used on the outside of Army planes. The inside was a light green. On the inside was printed the warning, "Do not open at speeds in excess of 150 miles per hour," and the label "Cargo panel." Mrs. Eliza Clark, who has two sons in the Army and who lives about a quarter of a mile from the point where the body was found, said she was in her yard Sunday afternoon and was watching the plane as it passed over at a high altitude in a northerly direction. She said she saw some object fall from it and heard it hit the ground with a metallic sound. She did not believe it to be a body at the time, but thought it merely a part of the plane. She made a search of the vicinity Sunday afternoon, but found nothing. Monday morning she resumed her search, first locating the metal panel and then the body. She expressed the opinion the soldier was grasping the panel and did not release it until he struck the tree tops. Coroner Taylor said the body was not badly mangled and the force of the fall was evidently broken when the body struck the tree tops. Only a few twigs were sheared from the top of a nearby tree. Coroner Taylor said some dents in the ground about twelve feet from the body were evidently made by the feet when the body struck. The dents were about three inches deep and five feet apart.. A knife, cigarette lighter and 41 cents in change were the only other objects found near the body. Mr. Gibson, who lives ten miles northwest of Whitley City near Natural Arch and who found the plane door, said that Sunday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock he saw a plane go over in a northerly direction and saw two objects falling from it. He said his daughter, Louisa Gibson, called his attention to the falling objects. One fell a half mile from his home and the other a greater distance away in another direction, he said. Monday morning he located the nearest one which was the door, measuring three and a half by five feet. The door closely resembled the panel found at Whitley City, but had two latches on it, neither of which was damaged. It had been held in place on the plane by two hinges, both of which had been ripped from the door. It was painted identical with the panel. A large number of persons visited the scene near Whitley City Monday.

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. If you are having problem and I do not answer you right away, know that I will. I like many of you work full time outside of my home. I am fortunate that I can check my e-mail any time I wish, but know that there are spaces of time I cannot. I always check my e-mail each and every evening and will respond to message that need me then and there. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. 7. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding the the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

McCreary Researchers Since I initially posted the website to the mailing list in June numerous items and archives have been added.

The McCreary County KyGenWeb has been updated recently with some old pictures taken from the Record's insert of 1997 called Family Ties. There are several pictures and if anyone has the originals I would be happy to have those on rather than the Newspaper pictures. There are so many that they will probably take time to download so please be patient. Just some of the surnames include: Murphy, Jones, Perkins, Hamlin, Hamblin and others.

All, After too long a hiatus, I have returned and finally updated the Scott Co, TN website. I apologize for the long delay (16 Jun was last update), but I really have been busy. Honest! Too many trips out of town this summer. Hopefully I can get back on our usual update cycle. I know this update is not a particularly large one but it is a start at getting back on schedule. I still have many things submitted by visitors to the website that I still need to format or scan and format before posting. If you don't see your contribution(s) this time, I promise they will appear in the next update which I plan to do in a late Sep (2003!). Come and by and sit a spell. ...tim west...

Hi, Thank you very much for this message. My uncle (Raymond Davis) was in the CCC camp that worked on the Yamacraw road.

Does anyone know of an Indian family named Brown from the Yamacaw area, mid 1800's..Looking for parents of Otha "Dolly" Brown...my GGGrandmother. The name Moses keeps popping up in conjuntion with hers, although they dont appear to have been married, siblings perhaps ?

Kenneth, Thanks so much for the info. on the Bridges ! What you wrote dovetails with what my Grama (Barbara Boyett) told me...she was from Foster Hollow, which I understand to be on the east side of the old bridge. Actually..she used to tell a story on her self and her first husband (Silas Bell) which involved a mule, the ice, and a jug of "shine"..LOL ;-) Thanks again BJ Boyatt _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: Get 6 months for $9.95/month http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup

Does anyone have information or remember Luther & Hattie Jones who lived in McCreary County? I think Luther died in the mid 1970's - They had children named William, Dorothy, Edna. Edna stilles lives in McCreay County. William Jr ( know as Ed Jones) Served with the 82nd Airborne during WWII including Sicily, Normandy, Belgium. My older Brother, William E Jones, Jr currently resides in Somerset - I live in Missouri. Any info would be greatly apreciated Tim Jones
