Well, now, Only one person's hollered at me for being quiet this week--and she didn't really holler, just wondered if I was still alive. Yep, and kicking every minute I'm awake. I didn't make my goal of getting my genealogy online by yesterday, but it ain't for lack in trying. Every time I think I'm going to say, "Enough!" I figure that if I just add a couple more people, I'll get some fresh leads (like I have time to do research right now...hah!) that will just knock them ole brick walls right down. It's cold these days in Taney County. The leaves are mostly gone off the trees, and while I saw a magnolia tree(I think that's what it was) down along Turkey Creek today with green leaves still, it's in the lee of Presbyterian Hill, down out of the wind. But we're getting more winter-like weather now than we had in 2 months last year. No doubt I'll be ready for spring when the time is right, but I hope we have a real winter this year. I'd like to see the lakes go back to where they're supposed to be. Ingrid and I have been working--not quite like dogs, but still busy--on "Law Day 2001: Outlaw Roundup" which is set for 19 May. I sure hope those of you within spittin' distance (maybe even further) can make it, for it's bound to be a humdinger. Hee, hee, and I'm enjoying the heck out of it so far. We've gotten the basic plans for the Bald Knobber Re-enactment worked out, mapped out, and now we're talking to folks who want to help out...either by being in it, or being on the support team. I'm going to have to stock up on AAA batteries, for we're going to be using those 2-way radios to communicate that day. It also looks like the Jail will have a new sidewalk in time for Outlaw Roundup. Details are still being worked out, and I'll let you know. We are planning on all sorts of music, storytelling, historical and genealogical book vendors, kids' activities, and more. We won't do the costume contest this year, but will invite any and all to dress up in clothing like our ancestors wore. If you have some they actually did wear, and can wear it, like Wanda Pickett Ehlers is planning, then that'll be great. I won't holler if you show up wearing blue jeans, however...LOL they are my favorite uniform. If any of you have ancestors who were involved in feuds, were outlaws, or who were victimized by criminals or Bald Knobbers, please post the stories to the list. I know a lot about the Taney County folks, but not enough about other counties. And if you are involved with historical or genealogical societies in the White River Valley, please be sure to let them know what we're doing, and that they're invited, too. Invitations to these societies will likely go out in January sometime, and I need to know who to contact or addresses if you have them. It's late--as usual--and I'm going to have to git. Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of y'all out there, and want to welcome the newcomers to the list! Please continue posting stories about who you are looking for, where and when, and keep the fun going! PS Don't forget to join the White River Valley Historical Society if you haven't already done so! You can do so from the WRV homepage, link below...

Hi My name is Shirley and I have McDaniels in my mothers line. I have Eligah Mc Daniel and his wife Mary Jane ?. their daughter Louise Catherine is my GGrandmother. Louise Catherine was born in Stoutland,Laclede, Missouri. I'm looking for parents of Jessie D Ballinger who is the husband of Louisa Timandra, Any information on them will be appreciated. Shirley

Hi, O.K., here's another one I'm searching. Does anybody know anything about this Malinda McWilliams and who she married. I have a Malinda McWilliams (1st wife) who married WALTER BELLAH, of Randolph County, AR. (No, it's not the same Walter Bellah that's on the Oregon County Census). My Malinda was around 30, we think, when she had my great grandmother, REBECCA BELLAH. When Rebecca married (to James I.Prince) and had her youngest (when she was 22??), this would fit this year. But I am stumped as to whether this is the same Malinda McWilliams or not. Any help is most appreciated. Thanks, Lanita In the 1850 Oregon County Census: 9 Sept 1850 p405 133-133 MCWILLIAMS, NILSON Farmer M 33 AR Mary A. F 22 Unknown Malinda F 11 MO Permilia F 4 MO William S. M 3m MO

I am wondering if anyone knows anything about William Reece and Alma Tillman, supposedly married in Christian Co., MO in 1904. I am wondering if this is my William Franklin D. Reece, b. 1871, Weakley Co., TN; and if this Alma Tillman might connect to those from Weakley and Marshall Co., TN. Please let me know. Thanks! Jerry Johnston Scottsdale, AZ

Hello! Well, I took a week away from the puter--except for Monday, when I was working on a project board for Law Day 2001: Outlaw Roundup, and when Pama came by. And what a week! First of all, those of you looking for towns in Taney County...there are a few maps available at the Taney Website at WRV. Here is the link to the best one for towns, etc, in 1913 (I tried to add ones I knew about that weren't on the original, as well.) http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/Maps/taney1913.html Secondly, there is a John McDade/Lily Walker marriage dated 8 Apr 1894 at the Taney Marriages, 1885-1900 (why it was titled that, I'd like to know; I didn't find a single 1900 marriage that I can remember when I did the index.) I can't remember if this was the right McDade marriage, but it's at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/taney_index/marriages_1885_1900/g_laf foon_michel.html (that looks like a 2 line link...) Third, I hope to get my own genealogy uploaded next week. I have a goal of 15 Nov. I'll let you know the link when I get it there...<BG> I'm not "techie-smart" enough to figure it out ahead of time. Fourth, when you mail a request to the Taney County (or any other county courthouse) for copies of marriage licenses and stuff, Please...remember that most courthouses or other archive holdings do not have one person hired to do searches for your records. If you don't have an approximate date--how most birth & death certs, and marriages are filed--they do not have the staff onhand to do in-depth searches. Even at state level, the biggest range of years for a person to request a search that I know about is 5 years (some might have 10, but I've not personally dealt with one). Genealogists can really be persistent--and that's a good thing--but when a person has a pile of paperwork on their desks, a boss that is yelling about "wasting time" on mailed requests for genealogical data, and any number of other things going on, the staff can get downright snippy about someone wanting to do research. I know people who have gone to the Taney Co. courthouse, and not been allowed to go back and look through records on their own (although they've always been very helpful to me). I get paid to do these kind of searches, and I don't think I'd want to go looking for records without some kind of idea of a date to look in. Besides, unless a person has limitless funds, no one would want to pay the bill that would get sent! <BG> I guess what I'm saying is to remember your p's and q's when you are dealing with folks who aren't into genealogy. It only takes one person who chews out the staff for an "unco-operative" attitude for all other researchers to be banned from getting a chance to do their own work. That said...(I never have liked being the bad guy...despite what my kids think) I got the chance to meet Linda Beilby when she was here last month. What a neat person! I had a fantastic brownie at "Betty's Cafe", which is across the street from the library in Forsyth, while we sat and discussed Taney Co. with her mother and one of her cousins/kindred researchers (whose name I have forgotten, but he was also pretty neat). Linda has visited Taney several times, so she rather knew her way around; it was still fun to talk, which is something I admittedly am good at...and she is a dedicated researcher. Last Saturday was the Renshaw Cemetery cleanup. Greg, my dad Joe Wilson, Carol McMullin, and some of the folks who live in the subdivision surrounding the cem were there, for a total of about 10 folks. Jan McCabe organized this cleanup. I have to tell you one of the problems facing this kind of work...Taney is fixing to go 1st-class in status next year, and it is unprecedented for a county to leap from 3rd to 1st. While Renshaw is the worst cem I've ever seen for downright neglect and overgrowth, our cemetery hoppers have not organized cleanups for the reason that these old cems are usually county property, and I have been advised to wait to stir up action on the cems until the county's status is official. We have some new officials who will be in the courthouse next year, and hopefully they will be co-operative in aiding with cleanups, surveys, dirt filler, gravel, and fencing. The statutes requiring the county to maintain the cems are not in effect, and the county will likely have to be "reminded" of its responsibilities when the time comes. Yes, we could organize cleanups, get volunteer groups in to do work or do it ourselves (as we did last week). But there is still dirt and gravel needed, fencing, regular maintenance, and even food and drink for the groups to be considered. None of us have the kind of funds it would take; and unfortunately, most of the folks who would like to "see something done" are elderly and unable to do the actual work. Many young people these days have a problem with doing "something for nothing", and won't get involved; others don't have the time. Adding to that last part, not many people are really willing to "get down and get dirty" anyway. Besides, someone who knows something about cems needs to be around any group doing work in one, to be sure stones are not moved or damaged. And then there are things like we are encountering with Logan Cemetery; the survey done by the county denied the house next to it of its backyard. A deed for the actual cem cannot be located, but it is accepted by the county as to what the boundaries are by later deeds. Who then is responsible for the cem? The county. What kind of fence? Well, the landowner next to it has ideas, as does the family. I get impatient with talk, and prefer action, but when general opinion and the law are saying that certain things must happen--supposedly a deed must be found for the county to accept responsibility, but in Logan's case, there may not be one and so the county must be convinced. Technicalities. Irritating. Anyway, I clipped about a 1/4 acre of what Daddy calls "Buckthorn Brush"--nasty stuff, intertwined with honeysuckle and green briars--and Greg ran a "burn pile" that got as large as about 15 feet in length at one time. A tornado hit the cem in 1961, some 13 years or so after the last person was buried in it, and no one had cleaned it since. Carol found some old Iris beds, and worked around that area, finding that someone had really done a lot of work ages ago, and trying to "recover" it. She is planning to restore it, as well--she is really great with this kind of thing. Daddy ran a leaf blower, and one of the guys who lives in the cem got happy with a weed eater and a chain saw. I got rather freaked out over the weed eater being used at Laura Etta Hensley Blackburn's tombstone; Jan soon re-directed the fellow's efforts to a couple of dead trees. The majority of folks left by noon, but the 4 of us--Carol, Daddy, Greg and me--stayed until it started growing dark. One nice lady across the street brought us sodas--turned out her bro-in-law, who was visiting, was also named Joe Wilson, which of course got the two Joes to talking. Maybe because of the elaborateness of the tombstones in the cem, I can see it circled with a wrought iron fence and a nice arched entry. That, we'll have to see. The county certainly wouldn't go that far. The cem is not done, and we're going back 18 Nov. I corralled a couple of big, strong nephews and a sis-in-law, and hopefully, we'll get a block-and-tackle rig of some kind to fix the tombstones that need re-aligning. I'm going to take plenty of calcium in advance--I don't remember the last time I was so sore, and it didn't involve childbirth...lol And...we're going to roast hotdogs over the fire, and maybe even figure out how to keep coffee going all day, rather than just for a little while. The nice part is that we have a Thanksgiving dinner to attend that night at an area resort, and I'll get to sit in a hot tub afterwards! But anyone in the area is invited to come "play" with us next week--email me for directions!

I know there are Tillman researchers on the list. I have just learned we may have a connection, besides the ones I have been trying to figure out, to no success so far, with Tillman Reece. My great-great-grandmother was Sarah Tinsley (many other middle names) Bills; who married 10 Alfred Paley Baker Reece, 2) Robert Payne Austin. I have just learned that my ggggrandfather, Abb Bills (Ataway Asberry, or possibly Attaberry) married a woman named Sarah Tillman. This was in Marshall Co., TN, in 1845. I believe Sarah died in childbirth when their daughter, Sarah Tinsley Bills was born, my gggrandmother. Abb and his second wife, Nancy Dodson, moved to Locust Grove, Weakley Co.,TN. Sarah Bills Reece moved to Taney Co. after she married Robert Payne Austin, formerly of Dallas Co. If anyone has more information on these folks, or can give me a lead, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Jerry Johnston

Hey List, Here is a neat thing to have in your favs. It is a clickable map, of Missouri, that will take you to the County of your choice. I am constantly looking in different counties for information. Warmest Smiles, Pama

Mary was born in 1875, Married first to William Wallace had one child, Mary Margaret Wallace> I don't' have any idea what happened to Mr. Wallace. Mary Married my grandfather John Lohman in Dent Co... Mo., on1896 they had 3 children Mammie, James G.Lohman (my father in 1903 in Mo.) and Earnest in 1911 in Tenn. John Homesteaded land on the White River in 1903, they lived on the land I have no idea how long. I have picture of gparents my father his brother at the homesteaded.

Thanks Betty Lohman Abrams I do not my grandfathers parents name, his death certf. does not have the info. I need. so may questions and no ans.

Way to go, Barbara. I must tell you that I admire the people that can transcribe the census, or any of the older papers, that help us find our roots. My hat goes off to you. Wonderful job. Warmest Smiles, Pama

Shirley, I was also born in Lebanon and have Chapmans in my background,but not directly. Sarah C. Chapman b. 16 Jul 1869,d. 29 Dec 1901, m.my grandfather Joseph A. Barber 3Sep 1887.He remarried to Hannah Jenkins which is my direct line. I knew all of their children who I called Aunt and Uncle and my mother called brother and sister and I was not aware, that they were not my grandmother Hannah's children until I was old enough to realize that my aunts Kate and Grace,uncles Ancil and Rhoder was almost as old as she was. Thats when I found out about Sarah and I lived in CA. I know this is rather windy and this is probably more than you wanted to here.Do you know any thing about Sarah? Thanks for your time and understanding. Joseph Grimes
