There are two MUSE men mentioned in the Goodspeed History of Bedford County. Check to see if there is a connection by going to the Bedford County Site at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~khopkins/GdspdBiosIndex.html#M Hope this helps some. You may check Obion County to see if they have a Goodspeed's info area.

Muse. It is possible that he is buried in Bedford County but the tombstone is missing. I did find his father: Muse Cemetery -------------------------- Rev. John T. Muse, Apr 19, 1791, Sep 4, 1850 As you mentioned, James is found in the 1880 census in District 19. Perhaps he moved to Obion County also? As far as the "Missionary Baptist Church" goes, I found a reference in the Shelbyville Times-Gazette Sesquicentennial, published October 7, 1969, page 181: New Hope Missionary Baptist ----------------------------------------- The New Hope Misstionary Baptist Church is the oldest Baptist Church in Bedford County, being built in 1809 on the land donated by Andrew Ervin (Erwin). Jeremiah Burns is the first recorded inister of this congregation. A division occurred in the church October, 1843. Many of the records were lost during the Civil War. The church was reorganized in April, 1881. In that same year the Primitive Baptist and Missionary Baptist joined to erect a new building, with the Missionary Baptist using it the second and fourth Sunday of each month and the Primitive Baptist using the building every first and third Sunday of the month. At the present time the structure is only used by the Missionary Baptist. Rev. W. T. Warren, the present pastor, has served the church for over twenty years. Please note: I am not connected to this line, only doing a lookup. Hope it helps, Kathryn

Hello, Kathryn. I saw this post for you and I was wondering if you would be kind enough to help us. We are looking for a Sarah (Russell) Wilson and her husband Robert Wilson. They supposedly died in 1835(both) in Bedford Co. Anything would be of great help.

The land deed records of Bedford County show sales by Joshua Graham in 1826 to John Reed, in 1829 by attorney to James Shaw and John Russell, and in 1833 to Jacob Morton. By chance, would anybody on this list have any information whatsoever about this Joshua Graham? Thanks, Beverly Park Peavler

Come to New Orleans, ferries are all over. Ron

I think I would have been awed by mountains, too. Imagine having to walk up and down them with the brush so thick that it was almost impossible to get through - even on Indian paths. Also, when we traveled to Niagara Falls we could hear the roar of the falls long before we could see them, and I have often thought about how frightening that must have been for pioneers who had no way of knowing what was causing that awesome noise. However, I'm sure that someday people will look back at us and be awed by the miles we had to cross at such slow speeds to get from one place to another. Isn't that a funny thought? Thanks for the info on the ferries. Shirley
