Stan Thanks for your effort. I really appreciate the information Don

Hi List and Stan and Vanessa My May research and reunion trip to Tn is approaching. I will be there 2 weeks. I have 7 - 8 days to spend on research. Can any of you give me some input on planning? I have never done this type of trip before, I just started my gen. search last Aug. I also plan on visiting cemetries and relevant sites, like Ft. donelson that have a family connection. I have family living in the Nashville/Clarksville area. So I could use that for my base of operations. or I thought I might start at the furthest away co at the begining and work my way back to clarksville and Nashville. Or should I search the Archives first? Should I just concentrate on using the Tn archives or will I find "different" info at the county level? I have relatives from Montgomery, Houston , stewart , a census from Cheatham in 1880 (might just have been a boundary change and they were still in Mont.) plus others that I might learn about in these preceeding months of work. I want to make the most effective use of my time while I'm there, don't know when I would get back again. I'm now searching the LDS site on line catalog for films of Tn records that apply . They indicate they are copied from various county records. I know there will be an overlap of finding the same records twice, now and at the archives, etc. I know there are good libraries, historians, etc at the county level. I've looked at the TnGen web county pages for resources available. I talked with a "cousin" last nite.She will take the first full day of my trip off to search with me and, as she is then going out of town for 3 days she offered me the use of her condo and her Tn genealogy books for me to use there or take on my traveling to other Co. We could use the Archives that day if that is the best place to start. ( I have searched their web page for some things already) I want to make some motel reservations as my trip is the last two weeks of May, and ends the Tues after Memorial Day. So I need to start a plan, I can always cancel the reservations if I don't need them. Thanks for any hints to how to go about this. Jeanne

Good morning Norm, There are two references to the surname CLENDENNING in the "Red River Settlers" book. In the first reference, Robert Clendenning is shown as one of the first 100 families living within the town of Russellville, Ky. Robert voted in the election to elect trustees for the town of Russellville in 1807. In the second reference, only the title of a book used for reference is shown. The book is titled "Clendenning and Related Families." No other information is given about the book. We hope this information is found to be useful for you. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Hi Jody, The book, "Red River Settlers," is basically a collection of records of people who lived in the Red River drainage and nearby areas. The Red River crosses Sumner, Robertson, and northern Montgomery County, mostly, but crosses over into Kentucky for a short time. I don't see any reference to James Robert Lee, but there is a James Lee referred to in a list of Land Grants issued by North Carolina. This James received 128 acres on Sycamore Creek in Davidson County, TN. I believe this is now in Cheatham County. The original land grant, # 2514, was issued to John Cockran on Dec. 8, 1795, but was assigned to James Lee in warrant #792. There is no reference to Benjamin S. Lee. Say, don't forget that the ROOTWALKER area covers Smith County, too. There are a number of Smith County researchers with us at this time. We hope this information from the Red River book helps you in your research. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Hi Shirley, I find only one LAWRENCE listed in the book, "Red River Settlers." The one listed is a Polly LAWRENCE who married Robert Murphey in either Robertson or Montgomery County of Tennessee.

Would someone check the book on the Red River Settlers to see if there are any Lawrences mentioned there. Possibly James or his son John Lewis Lawrence? Shirley Lawrence White

Dear Stan, Last week I mentioned an undertaker who was located in the Haysville community. I found out this week-end that he and Crow Funeral Home in Scottsville, Ky. were partners. Therefore, Crow Funeral home may have the burial records of Charlie Dillard. Shirley Lawrence White

Good afternoon Don, In the book "Red River Settlers," there are three JAMISON people listed. Here is that information. 1. The daughter of William Downs, who passed away in Montgomery County, TN in 1802, was from Virginia, and was the son of Henry Downs. William married a lady named Rebecca. They had a daughter named Jane who married William Caldwell JAMISON. 2. James Ely from Logan County, Ky., born Feb. 12, 1803, died Jan. 19, 1847, married Charlotte JAMISON from the Red River country. She was born March 28, 1809, and died August 17, 1875. They had a son named William J. Ely who was born in Clarksville on Oct. 5, 1835. 3. Marshall JAMISON is shown as an early member of the Methodist Church at Springfield, Tenn. The church was founded in the late 1830's. We hope this helps you in your search for family in the Red River Country. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.

Howdy Bob! I don't find Holloway MORRIS in the "Red River Settlers" book. There is, however, a Hallow MORRIS shown in reference to a road in Montgomery County, TN. Hallow Morris was appointed with others to oversee a new road in Montgomery County, South of the Cumberland River. It is difficult to tell, but I believe this record was from 1808.

Hello to Nona Contact me if you are related to the below mentioned PITTS & LYNN families. These are my husband's line. Robert Boaz GORDON married the Milly PITTS mentioned in her father's will.

Hello Nona! In searching the book, "Red River Settlers," I find no McGaugh or McGough family members listed. There is no Charles Parker listed. Joseph Pitts is there, shown in Robertson County. A will for Joseph was recorded of January 25, 1818 in Robertson County, Tenn. In the will, his wife is said to be named Patsy, and two children were listed named Milly and Joseph. The will was proved in open court in 1819. There is also a land record referred to where the land of Joseph Pitt was divided into 5 lots. One going to each of the following: James Lynn, Bartley Pitts, Major Gregory, Joseph Pitts, and Robert Gordon. This transaction was dated February 12, 1820. The only reference to James Lynn was in the land transaction shown in the previous paragraph. There are no Whitnell family members shown in the book. The book did refer to the Gideon Methodist Church cemetery, and that some of the Pitts family are buried there. We hope this information is useful to you.
