Hi List, I thought that I would try these family names again. I would like to correspond with anyone who connects with these names: HUTCH( )SON, all spellings. Areas of interest are: MACON, SUMNER, SMITH and JACKSON Counties. Timeframe: before 1860. ROBER( )SON, all spellings. Area of interest: JACKSON Co. TN. Timeframe: before 1850. Thanks in advance, Donna in Floyds Knobs, IN.

Stan, this is tricky. All the WOODS in Underwood are related. My cousin Jerry WOODS asked if I could figure out who his grandmother was. She died before he was born, and Franklin was supposed to have been married three times. Jerry's father, Elmer was born 11 Oct 1915, so Nettie may have been his grandmother. I don't know when Elmer died so I need to do sonme more digging. Thanks. wanda

Hello Terry, Was that Ellender that died in 1921? Let me know and then give me a bit of time to look into this for you. It may take a couple of weeks. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Hello Wanda, The headstone of Mr. Franklin WOODS marks two graves. It marks the grave of the following: WOODS, Franklin, b. 1883 d. 1968 WOODS, Nettie, b. 1895 d. 1923 I would suspect strongly that Nettie is one of the wives of Franklin. There are a number of other WOODS family members buried at the Underwood Cemetery. If you have any specific names you are looking for, let me know and I will see if they are buried in that cemetery. Do you possibly have the specific death date for Franklin WOODS? Do you have an obituary for him? Let me know what you can and we'll see what can be done to help you out. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Terry, There is a William SUTTON age 54 listed in 1880 census index book of Middle TN he is on page Ov-291. He may be listed with other individuals but they wouldn't show in book I have. There is a Martha BARNES age 45, Pu-87. Several Mary BARNES but none in Pu or Overton in 1880. Do you have a clue to Mary's age? There are several Barnes families in Overton, she could be listed with them. Let me know if you need those page numbers. Also multiple BARNES families in Putnam 1880: She could be listed with one of these entries: BARNES,Lewis, 55,Pu140 John ,47,Pu111 Jo Ab. 65,Pu90 Jessee, 55, Pu147 Hoss, 70, Pu91 good bet depending on her age, maybe this is her father? some younger individuals, BARNES, Alex 21 Pu130 Alice 16,Pu92 Burr, 26, Pu92 Calvin, 22 Pu 100 The 1880 census is on ancestory.com now (i'm not advertising them) but the census is listed online by District. so you have to get creative to find the page. Try to figure out how many districts it would take to get 582 pages (2 pages per number) of census listing. Open up a district and look in right hand corner for the page number. Page number only appears on every other page. Open and close districts until you get close to page 291. I was so ecstatic to find the census on line Friday, as I was too busy to visit FHC to do lookups this week. My computer opens up the pages so oooo slowly but it is better than having to wait until I can get to library.----- From: Dennis & Terry Depp <depp@usit.net> To: <TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 3:21 PM Subject: Re: [ROOTWALKER] BARNES in Putnam Co., TN > Does anyone have info on a Mary Barnes from probably Putnam Co, who married a William B.
