Hi Delores, Thanks for your reply. I have a Mary Elizabeth Patterson b. 1824 d. 1886 married to Stephen J. Manire b. 1821 in Williamson County TN d. 1895 in Oklahoma. I have only done a little research on Mary Elizabeth so I don't know what is out there. They either lived in Marshall County, near Chapel Hill, or possibly in the Windrow area of Rutherford Co. before moving to Oklahoma. Their descendants lived in Marshall, Rutherford, and Bedford Counties, so that is why I was asking since you were looking for "Any other Patterson in Tennessee". When I have the time, I intend to study the records for the area and see what I can come up with. If you happen to run across the Patterson/Manire connection please let me know. Thanks again.

Hello Arline: I do not know if you are talking to me or not but my Pattersons were in Moore County but my grandfather and grandmother lived in Bedford County when they first married. I do not have any idea where they lived there. Do you have Patterson ancestors? If so who are they? I have the feeling that any Pattersons from Bedford, Coffee, Moore, Lincoln, or Franklin would most certainly be related in some way. Hope this is of some help. Good Luck.

Just a warning to those of you who may not have been on these lists a year or so ago when this site was sending out its scam offers. I was one of the ones who got scammed, so beware. http://www.genseekers.com

There is a cemetery book for Bedford County (by Tim and Helen Marsh). I don't know of any cemeteries that are not listed in the book. If anyone else knows of cemeteries that are not in the book, I hope they will send the information to the list. The Anders/Andrews are not listed.

There is a cemetery on Midland-Deason Road (Longview/Unionville area) named Pisgah Cemetery. It is maybe 1/2 half mile down the road from Pressgrove Cemetery.

They aren't in the cemetery in Bedford County according to the cemetery book by Marsh. Didn't find them in the 1880 Census for Bedford County either. Nor the Goodspeed's for Bedford or Marshall County. Did find a Joseph and Christine Mills in the Marshall County Cemetery book - born 1913. sorry I found nothing but that one Mills family in my books. Good luck.

THE COST OF INDEPENDENCE Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr, noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories an sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books never told you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So, take a few minutes this year while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid. Remember: freedom is never free! It's time we get the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games

Where would information about a Coleman Cemetery in Bedford CO area be at? I am looking for the grave of Sarah Ann Byrd Coleman b. 1826 d. 6/16/1850. Her home was in the 23rd district Flat Creek area. After her death a daughter [ Eliza?

Her husband Joshua C. [Jack] married Jane Floyd 1850 widow of John Bearden d. 1850. [dates are correct] Jack [J.C.] and Jane are buried at the Pisgah Cemetery. I have no information about where Sally and her two children were buried. For some reason I think I read a Byrd married a Riggs in this area of TN [note 2nd son's name]. I need to say the name of Bird is on their marriage cert. Our family has always spelled her name Byrd. I hope some one can help!!! Just point me in the direction to look up at the library. I am 20 minutes from the Fort Worth Library. Takes longer to park than to drive there. My mother is a Coleman, she is 77, she is very ill and I have no ideal if she can recover this time.

I am looking for my grandfather's uncle, Henry John Coleman b. 1841 Flat Creek Bedford CO TN, his name could be John Henry. He enlisted during the Civil War I don't know which side. He did not come home and never was heard from. Therefore his family thought he died. ~~ AM ----- Original Message ----- From: "frye" <frye@gnat.net> To: <TNBEDFOR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 1:37 PM Subject: [TNBEDFOR] Andersonville Civil War POW site > > > I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking.

Hi AM, I did a search on "Coleman" and "Tennessee" on the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors web site ( http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm ) and it returned 197 Coleman soldiers - just for Tennessee. Here are a few that were listed. The "John Coleman's" are too numerous to list, so you should have a look for yourself. You can click on the "regiment" that is listed and it will give you a brief history of where the unit was organized and which battles they fought in during the war. This might help you find your ancestor. You can also see if you recognize other Bedford County soldier names in the unit, to help you narrow it down. Just keep in mind that folks in Bedford County sometimes joined in other places, for example, three men in my family joined a unit in Nashville. Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck!
