When you see "private examination" in deed or estate records: FYI From: "Rene D. Henthorn" <[email protected]> Private examination. I've just been transcribing tons of land records so I know this one.A law was put into effect, but don't ask when, that stated when a man & wife sold their property, the wife had to be questioned apart, or privately, from her husband, to ensure that she was OK with the sale and giving up her rights to dower. I guess too many men had either beat up their wives or threatened them to convince them to give up their rights to dower and the women complained later.If you use the first link under my signature to rootsweb.com, you can then go to Deeds and read plenty of land transactions that state the wife was giving up rights to dower and 'privily examined as stated by law' written in the 2nd section of the deed.Hope that helps, good luck in all your searches!René D. Henthorn>[email protected]>Hickman County CC http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyhickma From: "Brenda Jerome" <[email protected]> In early KY deeds, the wife had to be "examined" or questioned regarding being aware of the land being sold and that she consented. This was necessary as, under KY law,she was entitled to 1/3 (her dower right) to property owned by her husband. If she did not relinquish her dower right, there would not be a clear title to the land.Hope this helps.Brenda Joyce Jerome, CGRS Western Kentucky Journal and book list http://pweb.netcom.com/~cpalmer/wkj/wkj.htm From: "Jim Starks" <[email protected]> Forgot to add.. it was done away from the man/husband's presence..thats what the "Privately" examined means. When a man sold property, the wife was "examined"..questioned, to make sure her husband was selling their property with her full consent. Most often this happened when it was a homestead, or part of her dowry; but not necessarily. I guess this was to guard against the husband selling out when the wife might not want to.

G. Hughes belongs to that sturdy, independent and honorable class, the farmers of Johnson County, Ark., and as he has been engaged in following the plow from youth up, he has become the owner of 160 acres of excellent farming land, and of the 140 acres that he has under fence he has 125 acres cleared. He was born in Tennessee in 1834 to Sumler and Katie (White) Hughes, the former of whom was born in the Old North State and the latter in Tennessee. After attaining his majority A. G. Hughes continued in his father's employ until the opening of the war, when he enlisted as a private in Company F, Jackson's regiment of cavalry, and was afterward a participant in the battles of Corinth, Franklin, Vicksburg besides a number of other engagements of minor importance. He was captured at Corinth, but managed to effect his escape, and was there also wounded in the knee by a spent ball. After his return from the war he followed farming, first on his father's land, afterward on rented land, then made a purchase of sixty five acres, to which he has since added thirty-five acres, and of which he is still the owner. He came to Arkansas in 1880, and purchased the land above mentioned, to which he has since added forty acres of fine and fertile bottom land. He raises, corn, wheat, cotton, oats and red top grass, and is now giving considerable of his time and attention to the culture of fruit. He has averaged on his land thirty-five bushels of corn and 1,000 pounds of seed cotton to the ?re, a fact that speaks well for the fertility of his property. He was married [p.300] in 1862 to Miss Sallie Smothers, a native of Tennessee, born in 1843, a daughter of Tom and Sallie (White) Smothers, the former a native of North Carolina and the latter of South Carolina. Mr. Hughes and his wife have four children: John W., Thomas S., Katie and Malinda, all of whom are at home with their parents. The entire family are worthy members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which Mr. Hughes is a deacon. He at all times takes a great interest in church and educational matters, and for many years has been a teacher in the Sunday-school, and for the past three years has been assistant superintendent. He is a man of unblemished reputation, and is well known for his shrewd and practical views of life and for his many amiable traits of character. Socially he is a member of the K. & L. of H.

The stories vary a bit, but >usually say something like, "The 1960 U.S.>Census was stored on >now-obsolete computer media, and there is no longer any>equipment to read >it. The census data has been lost because of the change in>technology." I >always doubted that story. I was just starting my>career in computers in >the late 1960s and early 1970s, and I remember well the>tape drives of that >era. I spent many hours repairing those half-inch and>three-quarter-inch >tape drives! I think I still could disassemble and>reassemble a Honeywell >204B-9 half-inch tape drive while blindfolded. That>device was a maze of >electronics (without integrated circuits), disk brakes, a>big vacuum pump, >and numerous solenoids. The tape drive weighed several>hundred >pounds. I know that half-inch tapes created on those drives in the early >'70s>can still be read by the tape drives of today. The tape drives of the >early>'60s were in a different format, but I would still be surprised if >the data>was>entirely lost. However, it wasn't until Phil Drajeske asked me >about the 1960>U.S. Census story that I decided to investigate.In the past >few weeks I have read several articles and >also have corresponded with David G.Hendricks, a historian at the U.S. >Census>Department. Here is what I learned: The 1960 census returns were >microfilmed in 1961 for>long-term storage. In addition to the microfilm, >the Census Bureau also>creates>many reports from the information obtained >in each census. These reports are>mostly demographic in nature. They >describe the ethnic make-up of the U.S. >population; they document American migration patterns and even tell how >many>bathrooms are in the average American home.In 1961, the staff at the >Bureau of the Census had>access to a brand-new electronic behemoth known as >a "computer." In order to>simplify some of the data analysis that the >Census Bureau must conduct, the>staff used the new computer to create the >"microaggregation files" that>contain>statistical information. This >information had been entered on punch cards in>earlier censuses, but >magnetic tape was the storage medium of choice in the>'60s. The Bureau of >the>Census had the required data keypunched and then stored on 9,121 reels >of>magnetic tape: 7,297 reels created with UNIVAC II-A tape drives; 1,678 >tapes>created with UNIVAC III-A tape drives, and another 146 magnetic tapes >created >on still other brands of tape drives. The reports needed were generated >and>printed on paper. Once the reports were completed, the tapes were >placed in>storage.Following consultation with staff of the >National>Archives in 1975, the Census Bureau created a plan to provide for >the>"adequate>retention of the 1960 data." The plan specified that the >Census Bureau would>copy only 642 reels of tape onto more modern storage >media, at least modern by>1975 industry standards. The other reels of tape >were deemed to be unimportant>and of no long-term value. All of the stories >about loss of 1960 Census data>revolves around the 642 reels of tape >readable only by UNIVAC II-A tape>drives.By 1975, the UNIVAC II-A tape >drives were obsolete.>Despite the challenge, the Census staff managed to >find some old tape drives>still in use that could read the tapes. These old >drives were installed on a>computer system that also had newer drives >installed, so a tape conversion >seemed simple. By 1979, the Census Bureau had successfully copied 640 of >the>642 II-A tapes onto newer- format tapes. The two tapes that were not >copied>were, in fact, missing. The missing tapes had 7,488 records, or >about 0.5>percent of the total of approximately 1.5 million records on all >II-A tapes>that had been identified as having long-term value. Of the 640 >tapes that were>located, only 1,575 records (or less than 0.2 percent of >the total number of>valuable records on II-A tapes) could not be copied >because of deterioration.The bottom line is that 99.3 percent of the >1960>microaggregation data was saved on modern tape formats and can be read >today.Remember, too, that the findings of the original study had already >been>published on paper in the 1960s, and that paper is preserved.As >mentioned earlier, censuses prior to 1960 had the>microaggregation data >entered on punch cards. However, those cards were always>thrown away after >the studies were completed and published (on paper). The>loss>of 0.7 >percent of the 1960 microaggregation data files on magnetic >tape>doesn't>seem like such a big loss. That is still 99.3 percent more >data preserved than >that of any earlier census. As historian David G. Hendricks of the U.S. >Census>Department>wrote to me, "These files performed their function, and >all of the data is>available on paper, if not electronic, form; so none of >the information from>the 1960 census has been lost." All this discussion of magnetic tape really isn't>important to genealogists anyway. All of the microaggregation files on >magnetic>tape mentioned here did not have any genealogical value, since >there were no>names or street addresses listed. Genealogists should have no >fears about>"missing data." The magnetic tapes only stored a subset of the >census data, a>subset of no interest to genealogists.The original 1960 U.S. >Census documents were recorded >on>microfilm, and all that microfilm is still in good condition, locked up >at the>National Archives. In compliance with U.S. laws, the complete 1960 >U.S. Census>documents on microfilm will be released to the public in the >year 2032, 72>years after the original enumeration. I hope to be around to >read those>films! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

From another list-FYI "On a more sad note, I went to the Utah Library Association Annual Convention>early in May. One of the speakers said that the U.S. Census Bureau has lost>the ability to read the 1960 census data ... they are/were on punch cards.>Heck, I assume most of us are going to be IN that one! One of the problems>with digitization of information is that the software and hardware>technological advancements are so frequent that there is almost built-in>obsolescence. At some point existing data transfer and readability is going>to become problematic, ... who still has reel-to-reel tape recorders, or for that matter, 8 track tapes? Good old microfilm may be unwieldy, but it is>relatively low tech." _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

"DIED," "At Columbia, on the morning of the 13th inst., in the 71st year of his age, Mr. WM. SMEATHERS, who was one of the earliest pioneers of this country, having resided in Texas nearly 17 years, subject to all the privations of a new, and then wild, uncultivated country, and bravely maintaining himself single handed on a frontier against the assaults of numerous hordes of predatory savages, in many a hard fought fray. But his course has finished and he has gone to his final audit. In his death his country has lost a bold and hardy defender, and his family a kind parent." Obituary of deerslayer William Smithers in the Telegraph and Texas Register, 19 August 1837.
