Michael Frey was born in what is now Lexington County, South Carolina between 1784-1790, one of five sons born to Phillip Martin Frey (abt. 1760-7 June 1833) and Nancy Frey (abt. 1760-1845). Michael Frey/Fry/Frye is listed as a single man in the 1810 Lexington County, SC census living near his parents. In the December 1818 Revolutionary War pension application of Phillip Martin Frey, his father states Michael had laid down his life for his country fighting the Creek Indians under General Jackson in Tennessee where he then lived. Based on what I have read on the Creek Indian War, I would estimate that Michael Frye was likely killed between November 1813 and March 1814. Since he was serving under Andrew Jackson, I am also assuming that Michael Frey had moved to somewhere in Middle Tennessee between 1810-1813 which was then refered to as Western Tennessee. I am also inclined to believe that Michael Frey more likely died in Alabama and not Tennessee (feel free to correct me if you have evidence to the contrary). I have never discovered any record of a marriage for Michael Frey but wouldn't someone have had to accept his pay after his death? Where could I look online for record of his service? Also, there was a list of those killed and wounded in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend published in the 11 May 1814 edition of the Nashville Whig. Has this list ever been posted on the web? Any record of a Michael Frey buying land in Middle Tennessee between 1810 and 1813. I know he owned land in Lexington County, South Carolina as evidenced by two deeds between his brothers, Andrew and George M., and their father, Phillip Martin Frey. Thanks for any help you can provide. Randall Frye Laurens, South Carolina scfamilyroots@gmail.com

Hello, I am a writer based in the UK and am researching an article on Elvis Presley. The main focus of the piece is a racquetball business ('Presley's Center Courts') that Elvis was associated with from February 1976 until July 1977. The business operated from two sites, one in Memphis (Mendenhall Road South) and the other in Nashville. Elvis's three partners in the deal were Dr George Nichopoulos, Joseph Esposito, and T. Michael McMahon, who filed a lawsuit against Elvis in May 1977 alleging breach of contract. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has access to the following: (1) Reports in the Memphis press (especially the Memphis Press-Scimitar and The Commercial Appeal) on the development of 'Presley's Center Courts'. I do know that reports appeared in the MPS on 21 April 1976 and 2/3 May 1977, and I am keen to see these at the very least. (2) A copy of the lawsuit filed against Elvis (details above) in the Shelby Circuit Court, and any other related documentation. Any assistance that is given will be gratefully received and will merit a full acknowledgment in the printed article. I hope that some of you will be able to help. Many thanks, Freddy Freeman _________________________________________________________________ Share your photos with Windows Live Photos – Free. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/

You can probably obtain a copy of the lawsuit from the clerk of the court if you contact them and tell them what you want. There may be a fee assosicated with the copies. You can contact the newspaper and see if they can provide you with copies of the articles from their archives.

I am trying to find a news paper that was probably in Shelby County or maybe Memphis. The paper ran and article about Cicero Rhodes under the title "Thirty Seconds From Death" 'Johnny Reb,' Ill recalls slaughter' the by line simply says "By the Thrill Editor". I have a copy of the article and would like to learn which paper it came from. Also, Cicero died on June 27, 1930 in St. Joseph's Hospital in Memphis. I have his obit but it is very difficult to read and would like to discover which paper it was in and try to get a better copy. Any information or suggestions appreciated. -- Clint Trammel Rolla, MO

Can someone do a lookup in the Commercial Appeal or other local Memphis, Shelby County, newspaper for October 17-18, 1948. There was a plane crash on October 16, 1948, in a field near Germantown, Tennessee. An 18-year old enlisted Navy man was killed while piloting a private plane. His name was Stafford Boda Holmes, Jr. Thank you. Debra

Volunteers needed to submit genealogical articles from old Tennessee newspapers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently, there are 243 subscribers to this mailing list. TN-NEWSPAPER is a mailing list to discuss genealogical information found in Tennessee newspapers.

If you have access to old Tennessee newspapers, please consider posting articles of genealogical value. Sharing this information can help make connections to fill-in missing information in your family tree. Please be respectful of copyrighted material. If you have questions about whether your material is subject to copyright, please write to me before posting.

Is there a published book on TN newspapers from the 1800s?

Hi Everyone I would not advise mentioning of prices on the list as we all know prices are subject to change I would however use those sites Glenda mentioned to find the titles and then do a search at http://www.bookfinder.com/ You can search both New & Used and may be able to find a used copy cheaper. --Marie Beckman At 09:50 AM 4/4/2005, you wrote: >I'm not associated with any of these publishers but they are ones I have >ordered from in the past.

The following has to be the genealogy of our Susan Gollaher/ Gallaher who married Elijah Lawson in Tennessee and moved to Madison Co., N. C. I believe her father's last name was garbled in this newspaper. Where could I find Methodist church records to find out about Charles? The Lawson's were known to have been the stopping place for Methodist ministers on their travels between NC and Tenn. from a Methodist magazine article The names Charles and Julie go down in many of our Lawson lines GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS FROM REPORTED DEATHS THE LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE AND THE NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE 1852-1856 By Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith Copyright, Jonathan K.

I am trying to locate the obit for an Elmer Adkins who I was told was a minister in Blountville Sullivan County Tn. Now I live in Florida and am completely unfamiliar with this section of Tn. So if I am in the wrong ball park please someone tell me which one to go to and how to find this obit if possible? Elmer Adkins was born in about 1902 in West Virginia. He was my husband's uncle we have been unable to locate until very recently. The SSDI says that an Elmer Adkins born in Wv in 1902 died in Blountville Sullivan County Tn in December 1982. I believe his wife was named Mary. She was probably born about 1904/05. Can someone please tell me if the obit would be available online or if you could please check it for me at a newspaper or something? I have access to the census and would be most happy in exchange to look up some people in the census for you. Thanks Pat in Florida

If you have access to the Census images at Ancestry you might try to locate the Morgans in the 1930 Census which is an every name index. It should give Milford's occupation. If you don'to have access to the census there is a TN-CENSUS-LOOKUP list which has volunteers who do lookups.
