Dear Stan and ListMembers, I have checked with my aunt. The name of my grandfather's insurance agency was, "Frank C. Bridges & Co." So, either his business was missed in the 1935 directory, or the business address was outside of the city limits, or it was left out due to the transition because of his dying in June of that year. His brother-in-law, Fred Moore SMITH, took over the agency following my grandfather's death. Our cousin, Fred Moore SMITH [Jr], had control of the agency as of his death in 1999, though he had changed the name to "Fred M. Smith Insurance Agency" by 1937. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler P.O.

Hi everybody! It is a B E A U T I F U L spring day here in Tennessee. I wish you could all enjoy it. The grass is greening up, the redbuds are blooming, and the early-spring wildflowers are coloring up the landscape so well they would put any artist to shame. Now, for those of you that can't be here to enjoy the day, I hope yours is as nice as we are having here, but if you are looking for something to do, here is one Grrreat Link for you to use and enjoy. Since there has been a question or two about forms to record your research on, here is a link where you can find the forms you want and then print them yourself. I printed them once then photocopied more so I didn't use as much printer ink. Photocopies are much cheaper. <A HREF="http://www.ancestry.com/save/charts/ancchart.htm">Ancestry.com - Ancestral Chart</A> http://www.ancestry.com/save/charts/ancchart.htm I hope some of you find this site useful.

Hello Stan and List: I really need some help. I have a couple of brick walls and I hope someone, out there, can help me. George HUTCH( )SON born about 1803, TN. George is listed on the 1850 Macon Co. TN. Census. They lived in Bristow Station, Hartsville Post Office. Prior to 1842, I think, this area was in Sumner Co., but I am not certain. His wife, at least, I am assuming she was his wife, but she could have been a daughter-in-law was named Martha______? I would really like to know her maiden name. she was my gg-grandmother. I've been to the Sumner Co. Archives but I could find nothing on this family. I believe George died sometime after 1860 because my g-grandfather, Nathaniel HUTCH( )SON, joined the Union Army in Franklin, Simpson Co. KY in 1863. He stated that his nearest relative was his mother, Martha HUTCHISON, and that she resided in Franklin KY. I do not know the reason they left Tennessee but I assume that it was because of the war. Thanks in Advance for any help. Donna in Indiana

Also, you see the Bloodworth name in the early records of Wilson County and there are four or five families in the phone book of Lebanon, TN today. Linda Bloodworth, the writer from Poplar Bluff, MO and she has a brother that is a lawyer there. Could be good sources.

You are right about the William, and you can add Timothy to it. Almost every generation going back to the mid-1700s in NC added their Williams and Timothys to the confusion. Its been a while since I've visited my notes on NC, but I believe the Arkansas branch might have descended from the Timothy Bloodworth who was the last to leave Edgecombe Co., NC, in the 1790s early 1800s. He was probably a brother to my 3rd great grandfather Thomas B. Bloodworth who came to Sumner Co. about 1797. One of Thomas's sons, William, stayed in Sumner County, and the other, Timothy, settled in Robertson. Some of Timothy's children stayed in Robertson, some settled in Davidson, and some chose Sumner. This John William is the grandson of Timothy. They have been a difficult family to research because, with one exception, no Bloodworth in 250 years has written a will. Most lived long enough to see their children grown, so there are only a few court records naming minor children and some of those don't name the deceased parents. Almost all disposed of their real estate before they died. But that's what makes genealogy so much fun. Joyce

Thanks, Ann>> It is very, very easy. You just get the new version and install it following the directions. The new installation does not affect your data at all. At least it is not supposed to, and I have upgraded several times with no problem. Of course, you should always back up your files before installing the new version. Someone asked about the LDS program PAF. It can be downloaded for free at the LDS Web site. Speaking of backing up, I did not do it as religiously as I should because my file had become so large that it took 7 disks and ten or fifteen minutes to back up. Recently we purchased a CD writer, and I am so pleased with it. I can back up all my data every time I add any new information; and it takes only about three or four minutes. Sara Binkley Tarpley

I'm a jump ahead of you on most of these points. At the time of his induction, John William was a clerk in the Hendersonville dry goods store of Sam Bloodworth, another first cousin. He probably would have attended the same church I grew up in, and there is nothing in its history concerning him. The fact of his being the only man from Hendersonville to die in WW I is recorded in several histories of the community, but none mentions his family. Since his sister in Robertson Co. received the notification of his death in September 1918, I assume both his parents were dead, and the couple I believe were his parents had died before him. If the body was returned to the States, the sister would have chosen the burial site, and it seems logical to me that she would have chosen Robertson Co. since that's where this branch of the family originated. But, since his parents predeceased him, I doubt if their names would be mentioned in papers concerning his burial anyway. I may have to accept that John William Bloodworth was the son of John Y. Bloodworth and Emma Lee Franklin based on a preponderance of the evidence, and, indeed, that evidence supports the presumption, but I would like to have had more conclusive proof. Thanks for taking an interest and sharing your thoughts. Joyce

Joyce, Over in southeast MO, Butler county, Poplar Bluff, to be exact, is a family of Bloodworths that have been there for a while, at least since the late forties. They were in Ark immediately before MO, however they were in Tn, and I think it was middle north TN, prior to Ark. The name John William runs predominantly in this family each, or at least nearly, each generation. They are mainly lawyers, I think the most recent John William, is Butler County prosecuting attorney. He lives in or near Poplar Bluff. This is the same bunch as touts the Linda Bloodworth-Tomason fame. I do KNOW there has been those of this family who have been interested in their family history research. If you contact them, they may be able to help. I can't guarantee that, but sounds like as good, if not better, suggestion as you've been getting. Good luck.

With the close proximity of Hendersonville to the county line, I am wondering if Mr. BLOODWORTH could have made a will and had it filed in that county. Also, I seem to recall some BLOODWORTH people in the Nashville area. The one I recall was a photographer in Madison or Goodlettsville. I think he is still in business today. One more question comes to mind. Since Mr. BLOODWORTH was the only Hendersonville man to perish in the "Great War," would the county or city historians be able to help you? By the way, if John attended Church, do you know where he went? There may be some information in the Church records about him. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

What's FTM? What's FTM, version 3? What's PAF? What's a kinship report? Where do you get a whole lot of family group sheets or A whole lot of pedigree charts? Is the "FHC" the place at a Mormon Church where you might be able to look up stuff? Can you buy those family group sheets or pedigree charts there? What is a binder system? Is that where you use "brads" (or whatever you call them) to to stick through holes in the paper & keep between two covers, & can increase the size? Why is that better than loose leaf notebooks? Or is it? All the comments in the Digest VOl #70 I just read are really helpful. I just want to know more. There is a Mormon Church near me that I can't seem to find time to get to right now--but hopefully soon, and I think its one of the ones that has records. Many, many thanks for any clarification on the above. Deborah Jorgensen On Sat, 7 Apr 2001 22:00:52 -0700 TN-ROOTWALKER-D-request@rootsweb.com writes:

Deborah and Anyone, FTM is the genealogy program Family Tree Maker. Just as there are periodically new versions of other programs, there are several versions of FTM. PAF (my personal favorite) is Personal Ancestral File which is indeed made by the "Mormons". I ran across one of the "Mormon" book stores. There you can purchase many, many forms. But, most (maybe all?) genealogy programs will print out these completed forms after you enter your data into that program. FHC is any one of the many, many Family History Centers located all over the USA, as well as in other countries, and, yes, they are also offered by the "Mormons". I am a prime example of the fact that non- "Mormons" are welcome to use the facilities. I remember how lost I felt when I first began to see these terms. After a while, they become ingrained, and then we tend to forget that there are people who have just begun with computers and/or email lists. I hope that this helps you along.
