Hi! I'm new to this list. I'm looking for information on John Chisholm who was born in 1795 and died in 1835 in Amite CO, MS. Does anyone know where he was born and who his parents were? He was married to Elizabeth Birt in Amite CO, MS. (I believe the date was 3/12/1816..) All I have on her is that she was born about 1800 and remarried after John's death to Micajah Andrews on 7/28/1836 in Amite CO, MS. Anyone know anything more on these two? Nancy

Forest Hill, LA. featured in movie Mother's Day. My first cousin, Kimberly Willis Holt, first book "My Louisiana Sky," was recently made into a movie that will air as a Hallmark production on the Showtime network tonight, 7:00 PM CST, Sunday night (Mother's' Day). It was directed by Adam Arkin, of the 1990's TV series, "Chicago Hope," and the executive producer is Anthony Edwards, star of the network TV show, "ER." The cast includes Juliet Lewis (Daughter in the Robert DeNiro version of "Cape Fear") plays the sophisticated aunt from Baton Rouge (she made an appearance on David Letterman last night and talked a little about the role); Shirley Knight (middle aged now) plays the role of Granny; and Chris Owens has the role of the father, Lonnie. The character in the Granny role (Shirley Knight), is based on my Aunt Zora Willis. The inspiration for the book came from something Kimberly saw, in Forest Hill, Louisiana when she was a child, and she confesses that the fictitious setting of the book, Satter is Forest Hill, and the home place of the fictitious family is the Elwood, Louisiana community.

To the List: If you have Tennessee roots you will be interested in a new publication titled "The Reconstructed 1810 Census of Tennessee." To be published in June, this 600-page volume will include more than 30,000 records of citizens of Tennessee in 1810. Since nearly all of the original census was destroyed many years ago, this reconstructed census will be an invaluable research tool. The work is based on names extracted from tax lists, court minutes, church records, wills, deeds and other sources dated 1809-1811 in Tennessee. The author made this extensive effort to track every adult male in Tennessee. In addition many entries describing women, children, free blacks and slaves were also located. The book was complied by Charles A. Sherrill, a well-known Tennessee genealogist, librarian and lecturer. His earlier works include "Tennesseans in Court" and "Tennessee Convicts." For a sample page of text and ordering information, contact the author at this e-mail address: books4histry@cs.com

I apologize to the webmaster of this site for not giving the url. I did a search with google and did not see anything except the Goodwin names. I did not take the time to look to see if someone had their name at the beginning or the end. To give him credit and for others to look for other surnames, here it is. http://www.netpathway.com/~jdmason/pleasantgrove_cem.htm
