DEAR ROOTWALKER I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE JOHNSON HARVILL OF HICKMAN CO. TN. IS BURIED. I HAVE HIS DEATH ABOUT 1860 OR 1864. I'VE SEARCHED ALL THE CEMETARIE LISTINGS AND ETC. FOR THAT AERA, BUT NO LUCK. HE LISTED AS BEING BORN 1812 OR 1814. HIS SONS WERE HUGH AND NEWT. HE IS ON THE 1860 CENSUS, BUT AFTER THAT NOTHING. ALSO MY G-FATHER WAS WALTER ISSAC (IKE) FERRELL BORN IN SMITHVILLE TN. HIS FATHER WAS HORRACE FERRELL AND HIS MOTHER WAS JULIA COLVERT. IF ANY ONE OUT THERE HAS ANY INFO. I'D APPRECIATE I IT! THANKS ALOT AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL! BARBARA HARVILL

Stan, I was relooking at an excerpt from the Christian Advocate that Jonathan Smith has put together from the years 1874-1876. What a great job he has done. Is this indexed anywhere?? Can I ask the ROOTWALKER for a lookup on this? Ida

Check Tn State Library and Archives in Nashville or write to county courthouse. Either one may be a source - but you may have to pay for the documentation.

Hello Jenny, I believe it's the West Fork of Drakes Creek that goes up to the community of Shackle Island. There is a very old cemetery there at a Presbyterian Church. I'll take a run down that way in the near future and see if any people with your surname are buried there. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Stars and Bars Forever!
