Well Doyle, You are right also. Its like someones genealogy on thier web pages. If its on the internet its bound to 'be so'. NOT SO! I see a lot of erronous genealogy on peoples web sites.

There is a Lewis WILSON with this Henry and Sarah WILSON in the 1860 census of Campbell County, TN. This Lewis appears to have been born about 1846. http://www.tngenweb.org/campbell/census/index.html WILSON, Henry 39 M Farm Hand 150 TN 13 WILSON, Sarah 37 F TN 13 WILSON, Isaac 16 M Farm Hand TN 12 WILSON, Lewis 14 M TN 12 WILSON, Amanda 12 F TN 12 WILSON, Phenis W.** 10 M TN 12 WILSON, Squire H.*** 8 M TN 12 WILSON, Mary J. 5 F TN WILSON, Nancey E. 3 F TN WILSON, Sarah Ann 1 F TN ** Actually, Enos *** Also called Henry - middle name, maybe? There are other Lewis WILSONs in that census, but they don't come close to the right age. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the 1870 census (same URL) he is still with his parents, plus a couple more siblings: (Note that the spelling for Lewis' name is listed as LOUIS) Wilson, Henry 48 M W Iron Maker 1500 500 Tennessee Wilson, Sarah 47 F W Keeping house Tennessee Wilson.Louis 23 M W School teacher Tennessee Wilson, Enos 20 M W Farm Laborer Tennessee Wilson, Henry 17 M W At Home Tennessee Wilson, Mary 15 F W HouseKeeper Tennessee Wilson, Nancy 13 F W Going To School Tennessee Wilson, Sarah 11 F W At Home Tennessee Wilson, Jerry ** 8 M W Tennessee Wilson, Susan 6 F W Tennessee ** Jeremiah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the 1880 census of Campbell Co, TN, he is still with his family, unmarried: http://www.familysearch.org/ Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Henry WILSON Self M Male W 59 TN TN VA Sarah WILSON Wife M Female W 58 TN Keeping House TN TN Lewis WILSON Son S Male W 34 TN At Home TN TN Bettie WILSON Dau S Female W 24 TN At Home TN TN Sarah WILSON Dau S Female W 21 TN At Home TN TN Jeramiah WILSON Son S Male W 18 TN Farm Hand TN TN Source Information: Census Place Walker, Campbell, Tennessee Family History Library Film 1255246 NA Film Number T9-1246 Page Number 414B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the 1900 census of Campbell Co, TN, he is shown married with a family.

If so, then you might have the right Lewis to begin with. Unfortunately, as far as his parents' parentage is concerned, the censuses previous to the 1850 don't list names except for the Head of Household. Perhaps someone else has access to other records that would show who they are, but with this information you ought to be able to determine whether or not this is the right Lewis. HTH.

Does anyone know where I would get info on this marriage. I know some say they have info on their marriage in Campbell County and divorce in Morgan County. But, I am wondering if this marriage was for a different Thomas and not really mine. Mine would be Thomas Harness that married Telitha Brown c 1847/1848. I'm not clear on the divorce date of Thomas and Elizabeth. The reason I don't think this is the same Thomas is because in the articles on Telitha's murder, it lists him as Rev. Thomas Harness. Scott County/Campbell County/Anderson County is primarily Baptist and Baptists frown on ministers who were divorced. But, then, there is the option that he kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone?? In such a small community, I'm not sure how that would happen. I know in New Hampshire (where I did research on my mom's family) when you get a marriage bann/license it lists the bride and groom's parents. Is it the same for Tennessee? I wouldn't know because I've never actually seen one. I've always worked from a list of marriages by county.Since they were said to have married in Campbell County, would their be a copy of this in Campbell County records? Does anyone do look ups for these? Very curious!! Thanks, Jennifer Harness Ayers **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

My grandfather did the same thing! I don't drink coffee, but i always thought it was strange to drink it from a saucer. He also said that it cooled it off, but he would pour it into the sauce and still blow on it and then drink. It is one of the things i can still remember so clearly as if it were yesterday (my grandfather, Thomas Emanuel Miller, has been dead for 24 1/2 years now). Wow, thanks for the stories about the families of TNCAMPBELL - it really is interesting and helps me to feel a link even tho i am way out here in snowy Montana! Donna

Jennifer Interesting question. My dad opined that putting the coffee in a saucer cooled it down faster to a proper drinking temperature. Or maybe the adult had shared coffee with the child by pouring a bit from their cup into the saucer that they already held. But I wonder, too, if it was simply because their own mother / father had done it. Sort of like the tradition of cutting off the ends of the ham before putting it into the roasting pan.... a tradition that someone finally questioned..... and found that it was because the hams hadn't fit Grandma's roaster, way back when, and had to be cut down to fit...... so they all just did it because Grandma did it.

I cast my ballot with all those who supported having stories on this list. Drinking coffee from a saucer may be boring to some, but it brought tears to my eyes, remembering my father talk about his beloved grandfather doing just that. My father's family moved up to Michigan when he was only nine, but he had so many Tennessee stories to tell to his Michigander children. Tennessee seemed like a far-away land to us, and the stories were so different from our Michigan experiences. The more I listened to them, the better I got to know my father and *his* people. It was what ultimately got me hooked on genealogy - looking for these hard-working people who lived tough lives that made them strong. Even the sense of humor of the people he grew up with was very different from what we were used to farther north. His stories went a long way toward broadening my understanding of people and their ways. People AREN'T all like the ones I grew up with here in Michigan! Title them STORIES, don't send junk, and hit Delete if you don't want to read them. But keep them coming! They are an important part of our heritage!
