Good morning Margaret, The book refers to the collection you speak of, but does not tell where it is. In the footnote for the TRIBBLE family, the Tribble file is said to be in the Whitley Collection. I will try to find out more about this and let you know. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Hi Laura! I find two references to the surname FROST in the book, "Red River Settlers." Ebenezer FROST is shown as a Captain in the 24th Regiment on Dec. 26, 1808 in a list of commissioned officers of Montgomery Co., TN regiments. In the second reference, John Blair is shown as a Justice to receive the list of taxable property for Capt. Frost's Company in Montgomery Co., TN, in 1809. There are no individuals with the surname BUNCH listed in the book. There are no people shown with the surname FERRY/FURRY. We hope this information is new and useful to you. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ROOTWALKER site/list coordinator. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 2/26/01 6:28:29 AM Pacific Standard Time, lsllwright@hotmail.com writes: > Subj: [ROOTWALKER] Red River Book > Date: 2/26/01 6:28:29 AM Pacific Standard Time > From: lsllwright@hotmail.com (Laura Wright) > Reply-to: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > To: TN-ROOTWALKER-L@rootsweb.com > > Are there any in this book.

My daughter is just starting on her father's line, and is beginning with his parents in Todd County. The mother's name was Viola FREY, born in 1905, and the father was John GRAHAM, born in 1900. Any direction to aim her would be helpful. Thanks. Joy

At some point in the past I looked at this book and I think it was in here that I saw reference to a Tribble Collection in a private library or something. Will you see what the reference is to Spilsby Tribble's will is? I looked in the Archives and got an inventory of his will but the will itself is not there. It may be in the collection. I heard "somewhere" that this private collection is in Franklin, Tn. Any info is helpful. Margaret

Thanks, Leslie. My Bridges line came from NC through TN to KY, so I'd like to pursue this further with you. I'll be returning home shortly and will e-mail you later in the week. Ed

A Robert Jamison and his wife Nancy were listed in the book 'The Minutes of The Red River Baptist Church 1791 - 1826 Robertson Co., TN' on Friday August 16, 1811. I need to know if this is the same as my ggggrandfather Robert Jamison who died in January 1826 and whose will was read in Montomery County in 1826 and probated in Todd Co. Ky, Feb 1826. The will lists 14 children and his wife Nancy. don jamison

Good morning Bobbie, There are too many entries about the surname MURPHY in the book, "Red River Settlers" to send you all of them. I am afraid that sending you all the information on 43 individuals would surely violate the copyright on the book. Could you give me particular first names that could help you? Thanks for understanding.

Good morning Frances, Here is the information you asked for about Anthony and Mary FOSTER from the book, "Red River Settlers." Mary FOSTER is mentioned as the sister of Henry FEATHERSTONE. This information was found in a will of Henry's recorded in Prince Edward County, Va., that was recorded on April 4, 1760. That is the only mention of Mary FOSTER, though she was not in the Red River country at that time. Anthony FOSTER is mentioned in an indenture dated June 5, 1799 between Howell Tatum and Rosannah Tatum, who was Howell's wife, and Anthony Foster, Robert Searcy, and Francis B. Sappington, carpenters, on the other part for $350.00 in Davidson County, TN. Anthony FOSTER is also mentioned in a land grant # 1578 to Anthony Foster, dated Feb. 23, 1793, Warrant # 3526, for 228 acres in Tennessee County, south of the Cumberland River This is recorded in book C-3, page 230. This is all the information on Anthony and Mary FOSTER found in the book. We hope you find it useful. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Ed asked me about my BRIDGES ancestors in TN. --------------- To the best of my current knowledge, Ed, my BRIDGES people have been in Robertson County, TN since ca 1845 when William Clayton BRIDGES (1805-1867) & his wife, Amanda Maria Louisa MANTLO (1804-1866) settled there. This couple was in KY for a time, in fact I have speculated that their marriage may have taken place there; however, William was born in NC and Amanda, in VA.

Stan- William Foster, Sr. is listed on the 1836 Montgomery County map in District 1. That is in the Northeastern part of the county just North of the Red River. I am trying to locate the father of John Willis Foster, born in SC 1808, who shows up in Dickson County in 1831 when he married Mary Jane Owen. Some fellow researchers seem to think that William Foster Sr. of Montgomery County is the father of John Willis. I am trying to verify this information. The information on Anthony and Mary might give me a clue since both of these names appear in the children of John and many other Foster lines. Would you please send me the info on Anthony and Mary Foster. Frances

Stan, Thank you so much for your trouble but I don't wish at present to have any information on the Murpheys. The reason I thought this Polly Lawrence might tie into mine was because my husband had met some Lawrences in Robertson Co. years ago that he thought looked a lot like my people. However at that time, I was too young to be very curious and was raising 4 children. Now that my husband and parents are deceased and I have the time I have tried to do some research and the older I get the more important it becomes. I need to get back in the area when I have time to do some looking myself. Shirley Lawrence White

Leslie -- Do you have Bridges ancestors in Smith County, TN? Ed
