They were none born or married where I find the census any idea on how I could find these. I hate to keep paying for look-ups on these. Barbara eor@saber.net

All my lines are at a stand still and have been for years my Nowlin, Roam, and Nichols are the same way. Thank you all for any help. Barbara

Barbara, What census did you find your LEACH family? You said you found them on census, but what county and state? RE: NICHOLS family Have you tried posting to the message board and/or the mailing list for Warren Co., KY; Fayette Co. IL and the other counties involved in this family? You don't mention, but when did both of these families come to our area? Lanita

Ken, The cemetery book was published by the Extension Homemakers Council of Fulton county in 1999. I bought mine at the Fulton County Library in Salem, AR. I don't have their phone # but you can call information and ask for the Fulton County Library in Salem, AR. Make sure you tell them it's in Salem, AR. I'm sure the lady there will be able to help you. Cathy

Rachell, Congrats on your find!! That's what we like to hear! Lanita

While playing around today, I found this url.. It is the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System database Please be advised that not all of the soldiers are listed. There were some that I knew about that did not come up, but you might get lucky if you are searching for a soldier in the Civil War... it is for both sides.. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ Lanita

Thanks Lanita!! That is awsome! I was able to find my GGG Grandfather Isaac Frances Speck on there. I have his military records so I knew he had served in the 25th Tenn. Infantry. He was captured at Petersburg VA and was held prisoner of War at Ft. Delaware where he died of chronic Diahreah and was burried at sea off the coast of Salem NJ. The sight listed tons of other information about the particular battles fought etc. Great to have to add to my notes :) Rachell Lanita Sconce Miller wrote: >While playing around today, I found this url..

Wasn't there someone here that had a Henson link???? I finally made my connection and would love to share info with you. Rachell

Carol, I checked the 1880 and 1900 Oregon Co. Census... No TENNYSONs listed... I checked the marriage records for 1845-1890, no TENNYSON bride.. I think you can check Oregon Co. off your list. Lanita

Max, did some looking for you. Neither surname is listed in the Howell County Cemetery Inscriptions, thru 1987. Neither man found in the Howell Co Birth Index of 1883-1893, which was a voluntary thing. Are you familiar with the 5 Volumes by Gerald and Charlotte Groves, Post Offices, Postmaster, and Their Communities. These extremely interesting books include excerpts from newspapers, court records, Civil War Records, a few marriages, etc. T M Culver was not included in any of the indexes. In Volume 3, Will McNair and wife Frances are mentioned. Also in Volume 3, is this comment relating to a Mr. Sessen in Feb 27 1893, concerning fruit tree planting. The GAZETTE newspaper quoted, "---My experience in the nursery business dates from childhood. I was raised in one of the nursery centers of Western New York. There we could not grow some varieties from root grafts as they would make too much carrot roots and would be considered as worthless to plant. I know again of men planting orchards who would place flat rocks under their trees to present them sending their root down, so they would bear earlier. I have shipped car loads of trees to New York, Kansas and different parts of the state. There was no question as to how they were grafted, but I have their testimonials. Five years ago I sold trees from my first planting to parties who planted their trees and cared for them and they are already reaping a harvest from them --- Mr. Sessen closed a contract in June of that year to deliver 40,500 fruit trees in the fall, ready to plant, to John G McNair. Mr. McNair, of St Louis, had purchased 520 acres near Koshkonong through Colonel P. P. Dobozy. This brought McNair's holdings there to 1800 acres which he was turning into orchard land. = = = = = == This appears to be the right man, but mistype on his middle initial. = = = = = == Olden community was getting another boost, according to a story in the GAZETTE July 7, 1893: D C Givens of Evansville, Ind. representing the firm of Givens & Nesbit, of that city, has purchased from Halstead & Co, 1,000 acres of land near Olden. Mr. Givens is here and will proceed at once to erect a fine house on the land and to plant it to fruits The firm proposes to have one of the best and most extensive fruit farm in the country, and are abundantly able to have almost anything they want as they are rated as being worth one and one-half million dollars. We are glad to see these large capitalists investing their means in this county. = = = = There are some other articles about the fruit farms and industry, but these all take place in Howell Co rather than Oregon County. = = = In the 1894 Goodspeed book, A Reminiscent History of the Ozark Region, there is a bio for James Claiborn McNair. Quite interesting but it is two pages long. How about I have my daughter scan and send it to you that way.
