I can't remember who was working on this but I was wondering how things are going on getting enough people to have a reprint of Volume I? I am really interested in this book. Thanks Jane

Hi Can someone tell me where the closest Family History Center is to Boone, N. C. ? thank you , Earlene ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 11:01 PM Subject: NCWATAUG-D Digest V02 #10

Michael, Why don't you check at a Family History Center for the book? They have tons of books that have been microfilmed. You can order them thru the Family History Center and literally photocopy the entire book. Ihave done this several times for books that are out of print and have spent about $16 to photocopy. If you don't have a Family History Center near you, I go to mine all of the time and would be more than happy to look up the book for you. Barb Price

Greetings folks! Here is an update on my research into the "Hanging Rock Army Camp." I had one gracious reader that said the quote appears in the "History of the Triplett Family" by Jesse Triplett Ferguson, published in 1922. I could not find this book, and, I am a librarian and get paid to find books! I searched both OCLC and the Library of Congress and still could not find this book. I found a few other books on various members of the Triplett family. Has anyone ever seen this book by this author? Second, I had another gracious reader respond that as a child, she had been to Blowing Rock and seen an army base there. Does anyone else had recollections or information on a 20th century army base at Blowing Rock? Maybe a recruiting camp? Third, I found this picture at: http://libweb.uncc.edu/archives/ncscenes/ncpt3.htm The caption is: "The Hanging Rock-Near Blowing Rock Village." Can anyone identify the location. Could the "Hanging Rock Army Camp" refer to an older name for Blowing Rock, instead of Hanging Rock Mountain? That is a good question, for which I still do not have an answer for. I'm going to App sometimes this week or weekend to dig through some of there files, and maybe over to the Public Library in Blowing Rock, or there little historical society. Does anyone have any history of the name changes in the Blowing Rock area? I know tat in 1860 the area is called Watauga Gap. Thanks, Michael C.

Greetings folks! I am looking for other references to a 1782 army camp near Hanging Rock in Watauga County. The only reference that I have found is this: "William [Triplett] and his two eldest sons, Micajah and Nimrod, died in the Army camp at Hanging Rock in Watauga County, North Carolina, in 1782, during an epidemic of measles." Does anyone else know of any reference to this "army camp" at Hanging Rock? Was the above referred to a army camp really at Hanging Rock in Watauga County? I've been over a lot of the ground up there and there is not really a place I could pick out as a site for a camp. Also, Hanging Rock is at a height of 5,237. That's a couple of thousand feet above the valley in Foscoe, and other places. While it might of made a good lookout, it would of made a poor camp site due to the wind and cold. Are there any other references to a measles epidemic in this area in 1782? There are references to other Hanging Rocks during the revolution - there is one in South Carolina, and another near Valley Forge in Pennsylvania. Plus, there is a Hanging Rock State Park in present day Stokes County. Can anyone give me an original citation for this reference? I thought it was in Arthur's History of Watauga County, but a quick online search did not yield the reference. I'm not doubting that these Tripletts died in 1782: I am just not sure it was at our Hanging Rock in Watauga County. Regards, Michael C.

Greetings folks! It's time again for the annual Watauga County and the Civil War program at the Watauga County Public library. The date will be Saturday, March 2, 2002, from 9:30- 3:00. We are contemplating a tour of significant Civil War sites in Watauga County for Sunday, March 3, at 2:00 pm. We are looking for support for this project before we commit to the vans. Cost would be approximately $10 per person. Is anyone on this list interested? I'm not looking for commitment, just interest, so we can see if this is a viable project. Please drop me a line at [email protected] if you are interested. Thanks, Michael C.

This was found at http://www.msnbc.com/news/663187.asp?0dm=C15OT&cp1=1#BODY At the end of this MSNBC report are some great tips on virus prevention. Nov. 26 - Computer security experts say a fast-spreading e-mail worm called Badtrans infected thousands of computers across Europe and in the United States on Monday. The worm uses several clever methods of duping a victim into infection - in some cases, users don't even have to open an e-mail. After infection, the malicious program installs software that watches what the victim types and attempts to steal private information. THE WORM WAS first discovered during the holiday weekend in the U.S., but was given a low-risk rating then. With a wide outbreak of infections occurring early Monday, most anti-virus firms have now raised their risk assessment. "It's by no means a 'Nimda' or a 'Code Red,' but it is catching an awful lot of people," said Roger Thompson, virus expert at TruSecure Corp. E-mail filtering firm MessageLabs Inc. said it had trapped over 15,000 copies of the worm on Monday, with infections reported from 66 different countries - most in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. A spokesperson for McAfee.com said infections were "in the thousands." The worm employs clever social engineering tactics to trick users into infecting themselves. Once it infects a machine, it replies to any unread e-mail in the victim's Microsoft Outlook in-box. The subject line will mirror the original subject line, and the message body is a "reply-to" of the original sender's message, giving the infected e-mail a look of authenticity. It then asks the recipient to "take a look at the attachment." The attachment can have one of several names, according to F-secure. Pics.ZIP.scr images.pif README.TXT.pif New_Napster_Site.DOC.scr news_doc.scr hamster.ZIP.scr YOU_are_FAT!.TXT.pif searchURL.scr SETUP.pif Card.pif Me_nude.AVI.pif Sorry_about_yesterday.DOC.pif s3msong.MP3.pif docs.scr Humor.TXT.pif fun.pif McAfee.com suggested in its press release that the attachment file names might trick home users sending holiday e-mail to family and friends because the names include words like "Pics," "News," "Cards" and "Images." Viruses & Vulnerabilities . Microsoft admits flaw in Passport . Bug of the Day The worm also exploits a flaw in some versions of Microsoft's Outlook Express that automatically runs programs contained in e-mail as soon as they are viewed in the Outlook Express preview pane. That accounts for some of the worm's success in spreading, Thompson said. Outlook users can fix that flaw by downloading a patch available at Microsoft's Web site After infection, the worm attempts to send the victim's IP address to an anonymous e-mail account that likely belongs to the worm's author. The worm also installs a "keylogger" program, according to McAfee.com, which can capture and store personal data, such as credit card numbers and passwords. The Badtrans virus was first discovered in January, Thompson said, but this new variant - Badtrans.B - was released in compressed form, meaning it evades detection by older antivirus software. Corporations and home users need to update their antivirus programs to protect against the worm. In the last four attachments that I've received from people I don't know have contained viruses. Thankfully I've got Norton which took care of the problem. Please scan your attached emails and don't open those attachments from people you don't know. Better yet, don't open them at all. A great website that provides a free virus scan is http://www.pcpitstop.com Also, an investment in Norton is worth it's weight in gold. When Norton gives you the option to delete or quarentine and you decide to quarentine rather than the safer option of deleting.... select the quarentine option. You will then have a screen that will allow you to scan it. I do not recommend saving the file to disk or opening it until you've got it fixed. any email that I recieve that Norton says it has a virus. I delete it and politley send the sender an email telling them that they came through with a virus, and ask them to resend it once they are virus free. The best bet is to copy and paste in the body of the email, therefore there are no attachments. I practice this and rarely send an attachment to anyone. If you are sending pictures, save the picture in a .gif file and insert it into the body of the text. If the receiver chooses to make the picture a permanent part of his/her picture library or however they store pictures, they may take the picture out of the body of the email. For reports, copy and paste your information in the text of email. When you do that you can be sure that you are not sending a virus and the receiver knows that they are not receiving one. If you haven't invested in Norton or an antivirus program, please do so as in genealogy we tend to send A LOT of emails and receive attatchments daily. Norton is worth it's weight in gold.
