I know I don't deserve all the kind words and wanted to share with all who have helped make the site what it is. And to add my THANKS to all who have volunteered to transcribe records, those who volunteer to do free look ups, who have helped in any way, you are appreciated. http://www.rootsweb.com/mopolk/ Kay Griffin Snow -- Co-County Coordinator If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough! ---------- ))))))))))))>)>)>)>)>)>) Kay Griffin Snow, Could you PLEASE give lessons to the thousands of other genealogical websites that are 'trying' to achieve what you have but have FAILED miserably.

E. b: Mar 1895, Indian Territory In 1880, I found Benjamin (Farmer-TN-TN-TN) and Ellen in Marion Twp, Polk Co, MO, living next door to Melissa C. Baird (her mother), and sons Landy B. and Sherman "Grant" Baird (my g-grandfather). Next door on the other side is who I believe is Benjamin's parents, Laudon C. Hale, wife Anice B., and children: Margaret, Aurelia G, Olivine, and Minnie. In 1900 I found Benjamin, Ellen and the children in Tarkio Twp, Page Co. Iowa, (ED 97) living next door to my great grandfather Sherman Grant Baird, his wife "Belle" and two children. In 1920, I find Banjamin, 69 yrs old, widowed, living with married daughter in Los Angeles, CA, (ED 7, page 213). Aletha L. is his daughter married to William Teneyck (or Temayake), listing children Dale, b: Iowa, Donald, b: Iowa, and Ross, b: CA. Happy hunting! Be sure to let me know if this is in fact the right Hale family, as there were quite a few Benjamin Hales in Missouri. If it is, we can exchange more info! ~~Kay

July 18, 2003 Re: Who the Heck are You Hudson Family Reunion Dear Family, We are trying to plan a family reunion for June 24th - 26th, 2004. The process is still in its rudimentary form as we need a complete list of relatives of Carrie and William Hudson. We thought it would be fun to have the reunion in Harriman, Tennessee, the origin of their branch of the family. A letter is being sent to all of their grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews for whom we have addresses. To aid us in contacting people, please send us the names and addresses of any family you can think of as quickly as possible. We are hoping by planning this a year in advance people can ask off from work to attend and we can reserve hotel rooms and a picnic site in Harriman. We would like to start the reunion on Thursday for those who are able to come early. There are many fun activities in the Smokey Mountain area. The reunion would culminate with a large family picnic in Harriman at the Roane County State Park on Saturday, June 26th (a minimal fee will be charged per person to cover food, beverages etc.) . We can begin reserving rooms as early as late September, early October so please contact: Joreen Hudson Henry, granddaughter, & George Henry [email protected] If you don't know if you are related, hope you are related or just want to check, I'll send a list of known relatives upon request. If you know you are related, please indicate how in your response. Finally, please pass this to everyone you know who qualifies. Thank you! P.S. We are novices at this whole thing so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Reunion Information 1. I am: ____ interested ____ not interested in attending the Hudson family reunion. 2. Name(s): ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ 3. I would need ______ hotel rooms for ______ nights. 4. ______ I would be interested in camping or RV'ing (within minutes of the Roane County State Park). 5.

I seem to have missed the first message about Rose Hill cemetery over the line in Greene Co., MO. Would the original poster re-send the message. Isn't the Rose Hill cemetery connected to the Rose Hill Baptist Church. I have just returned from Polk Co. These locations are just across the county line. Belle

Rose Hill Cemetery is across the line in Greene Co But no town there. rb
