Hello Everyone: I love vintage quilts and embroidery almost as much as I love family history. Sometimes, it seems, that these two loves comingle. Anyway, I recently acquired a book titled: The Quilts of Tennessee: Images of Domestic Life Prior to 1930 (Bets Ramsey & Merikay Waldvogel; Nashville; 1986). In this book there are several references to Bedford County (families and place names). In case someone may be interested, I have listed below the people and places mentioned (and pictured) in this great book. ANDERSON, P. B. (Capt.). Name on quilt. 22 ANGLIN, Katherine Shofner 76 BENETT, M. A. (Miss). Name on quilt. 22 DEAN, S. (Mrs.). Name on quilt. 22 GARDNER family 28 GIST, Emeline Prince 22, 23 HIX family 28 JENKINS, William (Rev.) 10, 76 McGILL family 28 PITTS, Knox 53 PITTS, Mildred (Steele) 53, 55 PRINCE, Mary High 22, 23 RANKIN, Arthur (Jr./Mr. & Mrs.) 69 RANKIN, Mary Hutton 69 Raus Community 22, 23 REAGOR family 28 Shelbyville 10, 53, 55 STEELE, Fannie 53, 55 STEELE, P.

I'm not sure what kind of help you are offering, but I am interested in the pages on the Hix family, Rev. Jenkins, and the Raus community.
