Pat, If you are into "Fishing trips" I ran a search at google for the 3 surnames. 1830 Roane County Tennessee has all three: A Conrad Ault as head, a number of Burnetts, (Hiram, James, Jefferson, Samuel, William and a Moses Burnet), and a John Kelly. I found none in the 1840 census, but didn't look really well. You may get a look at the census transcript of heads of households at the following. http://sandysq.gcinet.net/digging_up_roots/1830alph.htm You might accomplish more by going to the Roane County genweb site.

I know there is a Trace Creek in Humphreys Co.....could that be it? ~Betsy~in~TN~

Does any one here know anything about the Waverly, TN area? I have just found my grandparents and my mom on the 1920 Humphreys CO, Census but I can't make out the road they lived on. It is Mace Creek &-----Pike Road or Mace Creek's -----Pike Rd. Sure would appreciate it if someone can help me with that road. Thanks Dee, north Alabama

Hi List, I had to share this: I live in California. When I returned home last evening, my 16 yr old son said "Mom, you had a call from a friend in TN." When I asked him who called he said "I don't know her name, I answered on the speaker phone and I couldn't understand what she said because of her "foreign" accent." <grin> Most likely, whoever called is someone I spoke with in the past week. I hope she calls back. I have reminded my son to get a name and phone number next time. I of course spent the evening wondering what bit of genealogy info the friend wanted to share. Jeanne

Hi List, Hope these might be of interest or help someone. Each time I read Somebody's Missing Links, I get my hope up. THere were several entries from states I am looking in. Maybe somdeday success will be mine. Good searching, Jeanne o My great-grandmother, Mary Ann LAFFERTY BROCK, married a HOLT, presumably in Tennessee. They had two children, Robert HOLT and Laura Lucretia HOLT. Then apparently they divorced, as my great-grandmother is buried as BROCK. I have a very old photo of a small boy and a small girl with the caption "Ollie and Bill HOLT." I am guessing that they were the children of Robert HOLT. If anyone wants a copy of this picture, and can prove kinship, I will be glad either to send a copy on the Internet or by regular mail. Doris M. Hall dorismh@airmail.net o About a year ago, I requested from the Tennessee State Library and Archives a copy of the marriage license of my maternal grandparents. When I received it, they had copied the whole page, which contained another marriage license for people to whom I am not related. I think the license was cancelled, but it might be of interest to a family researcher. The license was for Hilliard NEAL and Fannie MARTIN and was issued in Madison County, Tennessee on 22 December 1888. Hilliard NEAL and George McCOY signed the document with an X, attested to by the deputy clerk whose name looks like Jno MAGURNEY. I would be happy to forward this document to an interested descendant of Hilliard NEAL or Fannie MARTIN. Robert E. Paty rep1935@qwest.net o While searching for information about my ancestors, I came across a biography of ARCHIBALD McCALEB, in RECORDS OF RHEA CO. TENNESEE and what it has to say about popular sentiments then and now: "A quaint character who is still pleasantly remembered by older citizens of Rhea County was `Uncle' Arch McCALEB, who was of pioneer stock. His grandfather was a native of South Carolina, whence he moved to Knox County after the Revolution, where his son Archibald was born in the fort at Campbell Station, December 26, 1788. The father's name was Andrew McCALEB, who served in the war for American Independence. The first Arch McCALEB, referred to above, enlisted in the War of 1812, but died in 1813 at the head of Turkey Creek while in route to the front. The subject of this sketch was in the US Army in 1837 in the removal of the Cherokee Indians to the territory west of the Mississippi. He married Nancy Jane, daughter of Hiram and Mary STOCKTON GIBSON of Meigs County, November 2, 1848. Two children were born to them but died in infancy. Uncle Arch's farm was in the extreme upper end of the county of the Tennessee River where it adjoined the extensive holdings of Thomas G. GILLESPIE. He and his amiable wife kept open house and were deservedly popular. Mr. McCALEB was six feet and four or five inches tall and of athletic build. He was long regarded as the champion of the community in any species of physical competition. Uncle Arch was too old for military service in the War Between the States but joined a "home-guard" company. While on a horseback trip to investigate rumors of an invasion, he and a party of others passed three old women in the mountains. "Good morning, gals," was Uncle Arch's friendly salute. Imagine his chagrin when he found himself, after the war was over, defendant in a damage suit, charged with having insulted a woman. He was mulcted of $500 and registered a vow never again to call old women "gals." It was suggested, however, by some of Uncle Arch's friends that he always had a bit of weakness for the `fair' sex."

Thank you very much for copying these Overton County Court Records. This is a real meaningful breakthrough for me with my Chism branch. Jesse's father's name was reportedly John Chism. I may be confused (more than likely!) but it seems to me that every John Chism I ever found in the history of Tennessee belonged to some other family except mine! Maybe I just haven't been able to distinguish between them---and one little record of one of them might be what I need.

Stan: I would appreciate any help you could give on a marriage look-up. There is some question as to whom my gg grandfather was married to and both names may belong to the same person. My g grandfather, John Lewis Lawrence's death certificate shows his Mother to be Matilda Law. However in census records my gg grandfather James Lawrence was shown as Lucinda. I have an old bible record showing a Lucindy Law as the daughter of Emons and Susy Law and born on Oct 8, 1812, she had other siblings : Rachel, Sally, Frankey Mill, Jenny and Elizabeth. James Lawrence was supposed to have been born in 1810 in Va. but married in Tn. possibly Trousdale or Sumner co around 1834 as their first child was born in 1835. I would appreciate any information you are able to obtain for me regarding this family. Shirley White
