Tales to be Told (from the "Sunday Afternoon Rocking" series) Afternoon All, For a very long time now, I have written to you...letting my heart speak as I wished to speak to each of you...hoping that sometimes, in some of the messages you found something you too identified with, hoping that something simply said caught an ember in your own heart...because in fact, it was something you too felt deeply, but had never really put words to, and perhaps never really examined consciously. And because I receive so many responses, I know that, in fact, that has happened. I want to speak to you today of doing the same thing. Because you can, although you may not realize you can. And it is very important that you do. I have told you of the young cousin who came to me wishing me to write the memories for her that her mother could not pass on because she had left this world far too young. I told you of walking her through our homeplace, willing her to see through my eyes something gone these thirty years and more. I told you of introducing her to the great grandfather who died before her birth. Since that time, I have written more for her, introducing her to pieces of a heritage she can only learn from one older than she. And I have seen how eagerly she awaits those stories, how deeply she treasures them, and how she keeps them, each and every one to pass on to her children. And it touches me... because I know that our history is something that is more meaningful to her than any great material riches (which the family most definitely did not have) and I know that in some way, it is providing her with a foundation upon which to build her family. Folks, I can write the universal feelings of us all... I can look into the hearts of the thousands I have heard from over these years of searching for roots, and I can identify the commonalities we feel, the motivations, the inclinations, the REASONS. I can know what most of us hold dear and why we do...and I can put into words some of those things that I feel and sense when I speak to you. But I cannot tell your story. I do not know your story. And even if I did know your story, it would not be the same. It is YOUR words that are important and YOUR memories...and it is the descendents of YOUR family that will treasure them....and in some way, hold them as a foundation to build a future upon. Those stories, the good and the bad of them, are lessons that exist in your own chain. There are things to learn from them, and perhaps some of the family will be wise enough to see that, to borrow from that which was learned that was good, and to learn the harsh and bitter lessons of that which was not. Beyond that those stories are a proof in a way...of the fact that there is indeed a meaning behind our very existance, and that we have a link in a long chain that cannot possibly be happenstance....that we ARE where we belong. It is true...not everyone you share them with will appreciate what you have done. Please do it anyway. Others will appreciate...and still others will grow into an appreciation as they mature, as they can look back with the experience of years and see a broader picture. And others will be born that may read your words long after you have left this earth. It is a legacy that takes little more than time and inclination, and it is a legacy that is far more meaningful than anything material. Know this...it is not important that you can speak words that tumble from your pen like musical poetry. It is not important that the spelling, the punctuation, the grammar is correct. Do YOU mind when you finally locate that will, that old letter, that deed, that entry in a family Bible you have been desperately searching for...and the author was less than a proper and precise school marm?? Of course not. You are thrilled that you have found a piece of your past, evidence of your heritage. And so it will be with your stories. If you cannot write them, if your fingers freeze at the thought of picking up a pen or sitting to a keyboard and letting the words flow as if you were speaking....then SPEAK them. Find a place all to yourself if you are shy, look into an empty chair and imagine someone there you would feel free to converse with, someone who would listen to your story and then....tape record it... picture yourself on a sunny frontporch of a homeplace reminiscing.....but tell the stories...and make sure they either are distributed now, or are in the hands of someone you can trust to distribute them later. More meaningful than any "correct" usage of the English language in terms of academics, is the "correct" usage of our language to tell of our heritage. Let the words flow, and let your heart speak...if you simply let your heart speak, and tell what it wants to tell, what it feels deep within hidden chambers, it will do the work for you....because always a heart unfettered will speak of the truth, will speak of the memories in the loving way that only it can, will pass on exactly what you know best, and what you know best must be remembered. And for some descendent of your line, and likely many more than one....they will at some point treasure the legacy you have left them. just a thought, jan (Note: Afternoon Rocking messages are meant to be passed on, meant to be shared...simply share as written without alterations...and in entirety.

Hi All, I'm planning a visit to Trigg the first week of April. This is a research trip for me but I also have to find something for my husband to do. He's not much of an "old records" type of guy. He does enjoy Civil War stuff and museums. So here's what I need help with: *where are the records for Trigg County stored (wills, tax, marriage,etc)? What are the hours for this place? *is there lodging nearby *what other types of historical things nearby that Big John can do while I'm digging around in old papers? Oh yeah, are there any blueprints to the "Old Genealogist Home" yet or is it already built? I probably qualify since my back surgery last week. I feel old as dirt right now!! Till next time, Barb in GA

Everyone... The Rootsweb lists have all been having problems the last few days and now we are seeing OLD mail coming through. Please take the time to look at dates on any messages for the next few hours because a lot of the mail is going to look like back-tracking and it really isn't -- it is just delayed or repeated mail. It is best to make sure that any message you wish to respond to is current with the present (today's) sent-date on it. OK? Thanks!

Listers: I am still in search of the elusive James M. McQuaid/McQuade M.D., and his wife Quin. He was born in 1835, I have no date for her. They were married 31 December 1857, and while his sister Anne McQuade/Huggins stayed in Kentucky, James M. and Quin moved to Texas on the Oklahoma Indian Territory border. According to a letter dated 1894 his wife was dying of consumption. Is anyone researching the SCUDDER's that might be able to help with some background? Alice in Arizona

Alice: I am researching SCUDDERS, we have a connection. Quintelda Cora SCUDDER is, I believe, the daughter of Henry and Mary M. SCUDDER, and a sister to my g-g-grandfather, Samuel SCUDDER. I am very interested in this family. Where in Texas did the McQUAIDES migrate to? Samuel's son John H. SCUDDER, my g-grandfather, is supposed to have gone to Texas, but I have not been able to find out where. I have the children of Henry and Mary as: 1) Jerusa SCUDDER, born @1817, married Joseph B. SPRINGS on 20 Mar 1838 in Montgomery County, Tn. 2) Samuel SCUDDER, born 25 Dec 1819, died 18 Jan 1897 in Montgomery County, Tn. Married #1 Elizabeth GILBERT #2 Lucy Ann DYCUS #3 Harriett FERRELL. 3) Clarissa A. SCUDDER, born @1826, married Joseph CUTHBERTSON on 6 Jan 1942 in Montgomery County, Tn. 4) Philanoza P. SCUDDER, born @1827, married Catherine HICKS on 18 Jan 1846 in Montgomery County, Tn. Philanoza also lived in Trigg Co., Ky. and was found in 1870 in Dover, Pope County, Arkansas, with a wife named Louisa. I believe Catherine was still in Ky. at this time, so apparently there was a divorce. 5) Martha Elizabeth SCUDDER, born 11 May 1831, married William Robert COYLE on 31 Mar 1848 in Montgomery County, Tn., died 19 Dec 1914 in Randolph County, Illinois. 6) Margaret E. SCUDDER, born @1836, married James A. SILLS on 20 Dec 1853 in Trigg County, Ky. 7) Quintelda Cora SCUDDER, born @1838, married James M. McQUAIDE on 31 Dec 1857 in Trigg County, Ky. I last found Henry and Mary M. SCUDDER in 1860 in Trigg County, Ky. I would really like to hear from you. Mary

TIM--City Laws very interesting. My gggrandfather, LEVI FRANCIS, according to my Dad, had a hotel in Trigg Co. Levi died ca Nov 1868 in Trigg. No will found, but I have inventory of his estate sale. (Trigg Will Book-H 99-100 and 101 dated Nov 20, 1868) Some of the items listed seem too large to be just regular household size, but then again maybe they kept them that big in those days. Anyway, I have always been curious WHERE and under what name the hotel was listed. I wrote to Cadiz Court Clerk at one time to see if back then they would have had anything like we know today, i. e., a business license, or pay a fee or tax on a business.?? They wrote back and said they knew of none. I have not tried again to locate that information. Your CITY LAWS brought this to my mind. Levi was listed on the 1860 Trigg census as hotelkeeper. Levi's wifes name was JANE. If you would know of any source I could check, I would appreciate your response. HKB

"The Lessons of the Search" (from Afternoon Rocking series) Afternoon All, I think sometimes, that the greatest lessons to come from a search for our roots, is an understanding of our place in the life that blossoms forth from them. It often occurs to me, the older I grow, that what we really are on earth to each other is no more than a loan...or perhaps, more appropriately, a gift. And I think that the longer we live upon the earth, the more people we see pass through our lives....leaving their memories secreted in a special corner of our hearts, the more we come to realize that. Few of us have lived very many years without having to give up someone we love deeply...and we go through all the facets of accepting that we must. We begin with the disbelief of it when it is sudden, and we live a long time with the pain of knowing what is going to happen and the pain of watching suffering when it is not. Our emotions run the gamut from deep depression to anger...and at some point, most of us begin to realize the inevitability of it all. At some point we truly deep in our hearts realize that death is simply a part of living, and with faith, we realize it is only a gateway to another form of living. And if the sadness never leaves completely, and if even years later we can open a box or a trunk and find ourselves again overwhelmed with the original grief for a short time...well at least we come to an acceptance of it as we go on living day by day. But it is true, at some point a voice becomes harder for us to conjure in our minds, although we think often what that loved one would have said, would have done at any given moment or event. We run our memories through our minds like snapshots of the past that only we can see...and we come to a point that we feel it very important to pass on those snapshots, those ideas of who that person was to a younger generation who either had not the opportunity to know this person...or was far too young to really have the vivid understanding that we have. At some point it concerns us that the snapshots in our minds are ours alone...and will leave when we do. It is at this point I think...that many begin to do the things that we are doing...searching our roots, preserving those who have passed before us, and with far greater depth of empathy, we also try to preserve those we did not ourselves know that passed before us...the loved ones of our grandmothers and our grandfathers...because they mattered to those we loved...and to those who loved them...and so on, in an endless chain. We gather the pictures, the documents, the letters, and even things...anything we can find that will make the "realness" of these people real to us and real to those who come after us. And even those who do not turn to genealogy, do with age begin to talk more and more of the past, more and more of the people they knew who are no more....much to immaturity's dismay. For only those who have lived to see people they loved dearly pass, ever can evolve to either dwelling on passing the memories...or appreciating what they hear when they hear it. I think often of the hours my grandfather sat telling his stories of people none of his grandchildren or even children could remember...and now I understand why. He had realized with his passing those loved ones were essentially "lost"...no more than a date and name on a tombstone, no more than what "official documents" existed somewhere in a dusty courthouse basement. I think of a man who lived near me when I was much younger. At the time it occured to me, as I watched him on his daily walk past my house when he was well about the age of 90...how sad. How sad to live so long that almost all of the people who peopled your childhood are gone, how sad to outlive most of the friends of your youth...how sad to see many of your children gone and your wife, the places totally different...to actually live in a world where nothing or no one bears a resemblance to how it was when you began. And I have often wondered...did he, like my grandfather, try to pass on that world so it would not be forgotten? I suspect he did. And I know, now that I am older...I would rejoice as much for him as feel sadness...for as a distant cousin who also has reached this great place in life frequently says, "I want to see what is going to happen next!" <smile> And wonderful that attitude is, and a lesson for us all! But I would also rejoice because of what he could teach..what he could tell...because he was a living embodiment of life of the past, the present, and could yet touch the future. Yes, our elders are truly gifts...and special ones, because more than the presence of someone we love remaining with us, they are also links to a past. But so are we all gifts.... Death is no respector of persons, and it comes knocking at doors at the least expected times, and is always unwanted. But it comes, and so I often think as I look around me at those I try so hard to give the gift of the past...perhaps there is also a time to understand the gift of the present. We are only gifts to each other...temporary gifts, gifts that will pass... We are on loan to one another for a bit of time in order to get through this world... and waiting until that time is over may be far too late to realize.... while we yet had that gift, we little realized how soon the time might pass. And I also have thought, that if when we look in our loved ones faces, if we realized fully in our hearts that this person really was ...only a gift, a loan....how much differently we would react in so many situations...how much differently our responses would be, our choices would be. But perhaps that too, is something we learn, as assuredly as we learn why it is important to the elders to pass on the past... and we learn it by the same acceptance... I think sometimes, that the greatest lessons to come from a search for our roots, is an understanding of our place in the life that blossoms forth from them. just a thought, jan (Note: Afternoon Rocking messages are meant to be passed on, meant to be shared...simply share as written without alterations...and in entirety.
