Someone tell me about Cowell's Chapel please, please, please.... Jackie "A people without a history is like wind on the buffalo grass" Crazy Horse - Oglala Sioux "Yigaquu osaniyu adanvto adadoligi nigohilvi nasquv utloyasdi nihi!" ("May the Great Spirit's blessings always be wih you") Cherokee

Who would I write to get a copy of a land deed for 1824? Thanks Jackie "A people without a history is like wind on the buffalo grass" Crazy Horse - Oglala Sioux "Yigaquu osaniyu adanvto adadoligi nigohilvi nasquv utloyasdi nihi!" ("May the Great Spirit's blessings always be wih you") Cherokee

HI: I have a copy of the Benton Co. 1860 and 1870 census as well as the cemetery Book. Would be glad to do lookups. Betsy

Jackie: this is out of the benton co. book I have: The Methodists first sent their missionaries into West Tennessee in 1821. The first methodist congregation organized in the county was called Chapel Hill, but about 1860 was renamed Cowell's Chapel. It has maintained the same location since it was first organized in 1824. The congregation currentlly meets in a pretty brick church in Camden. About the same time that Cowell's Chapel was organized, the Methodists on Beaverdam Creek also organized their church, always known as the Flatwoods Church. Hope this helps, Betsy

Hi Everybody!! I wanted to let you know that I have updated the Benton County web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnbenton/ I have added a new section to the web site called "Newspaper Columns" thanks to Nell Morisette. She has very graciously allowed for her articles to be reproduced and added to the web site for those that don't get "The Tribune" which is a local Benton County newspaper. They are really wonderful and full of Benton County history with many past residents mentioned. I think it's a great addition to the web site. I want to thank Doris Hightower for the idea in the first place and for scanning all of the articles and sending them to me. In addition to the new section, I have added two new biographies, one of Thomas Jefferson Melton (with photograph) and one of Joseph Townsend. (Thanks Mrs. Griffith & Mrs. Broxterman) If you have a biography you would like to have added to the web site, even if your ancestor is not listed on the page, please send it to me. I am not able to add GED files to the web site because of a Rootsweb rule, but if you have family sheets, I can add those if you would rather not write a formal-type biography. I have also added a picture of Calvin Austin Hall and Elizabeth West Cherry (Thanks Mrs. Lewis). I think out collection of photographs is one of the best!! If you would like to have any of yours included, you can send me a copy attached to an email or you can send a copy snail mail to: Alison Collignon 18310 Flint Hill Drive Katy, Texas 77449 Stop by the web site when you get a chance and take a look at new information and pictures!! Have a great week! Alison

Sorry to disappoint everyone on the Vol. I Benton County History Books, but they have been out of print for some time. IF! you can find on at an estate sale, they range anywhere from $150.00 and up. There will not be a reprint! Vol. II is still available as is the Benton County Cemetery Book, published in 1997. If any one is interested in the facts about the books and availability, you can e-mail me privately at <abgriff@aeneas.net>. The Benton County Genealogical Society is also looking for books to buy about the counties surrounding Benton Co., and also the bordering states of Tennessee. If anyone knows of any genealogical material pertaining to these areas, please let me know. If anyone needs look-up, I own both Vol. I and Vol. II, as well as the Cemetery Book. Will be happy to help. Thank you, Brenda Griffith President Benton County Genealogical Society
