Do you know any of his childrens names? And who his wife could have been? Everything I have found on him doesnt show a wife or lists unknown. What I have read about him is that he was well known by the town he lived in that is why he is called "Uncle Billy". Any help would be great and maybe together we can put some light on this and figure it out.

I know I have asked this before, but still hoping for an answer. Does anyone know where the first name "Littleberry" comes from. I know that children were often named after famous people. I have a Littleberry in my line from the mid 1800's. Different surname and different part of the country. That leads me to believe that this was a currently famous person during that time.

Hi Marty, I have been away for a week. I was wondering if you had time to do the obits on the surname REED? Mary (Mrs) Loyd Eliza (Mrs) Stewart Thomas O. W. L. Mr Thanks Donna

James Carlisle born in 1825--was married to Marlyn Carolyn Gant she was born 3-25-1824--died 12-20-1849--she is buried in the Gant/Gaunt Cemt Bedford Co. Tn -- I have one child listed James K. P. Carlisle born abt 1840--She is the granddaughter of Lewis Gant and his wife Mary Armstrong. the child of James Armstrong Gant and Elizabeth Aldridge. I do not have more on the Carlisle family just the Gant/Ganunt you are welcome to that info if you want it. Lewis is one of my ancestors. Frances Beard Roberts

Would love to hear from anyone that might be working on this family. William Carlisle born: 1787 in N. Carolina and his wife Mary Carlisle born: 1790 in N. Carolina. They lived in Bedford County, TN and the children listed for them on the 1850 census were: James Carlisle b: 1825 Mary Ann Carlisle b: 1822 (She married a (?) Smith and had a daughter named Margaret Smith who was born ca 1853). John Carlisle b: 1829 and Thomas Carlisle b: 1830. They had a Barbary Brown born 1843 living with them and a Wm Brown born 1859 also living in their household. There was also a Elizabeth Carlisle b: 1830 listed and I believe she is the spouse of the above James Carlisle. Looking for the relationship of the Brown children with William and Mary Carlisle.

List Members: Please excuse the inadvertent reference of Paulette Carpenter being the list coordinator for Bedford County. She is the list coordinator for Marshall and Maury Counties. Thank you! Bobby Prosser [email protected]

Bedford County List Members I would like to welcome you to join the Chestnut Ridge Cousins Organization. The meeting will take place Friday June 10 and Saturday June 11 at the Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. The June meeting will be the fourth meeting of the descendants of the pioneers who settled in the hills and valleys of the Chestnut Ridge area. This community is located in Southern Middle Tennessee where Bedford, Lincoln, Marshall and Moore counties come together. The organization was formed in 2002 to learn more about our heritage and to share genealogical research of "The Ridge" area. In the three previous meetings, fifteen states and many counties of Tennessee have been represented. The cousins assemble with family linage and many family stories to share. Among the speakers for this years event will be Don Mills, who will speak Friday night. Don works with the Walsworth Publishing Company which is currently working on publications of family history books for Lincoln, Coffee and Giles County. The Moore County book has been completed and I have mine in hand with many interesting family stories submitted by descendants of the early pioneer families. This years event also will feature a couple of Marshall County speakers with a vast knowledge of the area. The Saturday morning speaker will be Paulette Carpenter. She is the county coordinator for this list and the Maury County list of the TNGenWeb, the TNGenWeb David Donahue Records Repository assistant Archivist, UDSATA Repository Assistant Archivist, and Lead Archivist within USDATA for several states. Paulette, whose family roots are buried deep in Marshall County, will share information about data that is available from the Tennessee State Archives. The final presenter of the day will be Don Jeter of Lewisburg, will speak after dinner on Saturday evening. Don, who is a diligent researcher in the Marshall County area, is currently the president of the Marshall County Historical Society. He will speak on the issue of land grants of the area around Petersburg and "The Ridge" area. Between the morning and evening sessions there will be time for visiting, researching, and t! ouring some of the old family cemeteries. We welcome you to join and share your family history of the area. You may view the organization website at: http://www.chestnutridgecousins.org. If you would like to obtain a registration form for membership to the organization, you may locate one on the website, or you may contact Bobby Prosser at: [email protected] or [615] 446-5914. For guest who wish to stay at the park, the cutoff for reservations is May 10. Please register under Chestnut Ridge Cousins. We look forward to meeting you and sharing.
