Freida, Yes, that is the correct info. on the Cannon Cemetery Book. I have a few copies left. Kevin, Does your info have a burial place for Baxter B. Dickens? Some time after his wife Nancy Holt / Holten died, in 1856, he moved to Coffee Co. along with the Peter Thomas Family. Nancy is buried in the Hopewell Cemetery, near Bradyville. Baxter, his family, including his daughter Martha Emerline Inglis (and her two children) are living in the southeastern part of Coffee Co., in the 1860 census. One of his sons is buried in the Stephenson Cemetery, nearby. Even though Stephenson was a long hard trip from Bradyville, I believe when he died in the mid 1860s, that he was returned to Bradyville (Hopewell) for burial. His daughter Martha E. (later married to T.E. Prater) was later buried at Hopewell, as was at least one of his grandsons. I have never found a marked burial for Baxter, in Cannon or Coffee, but Hopewell Cemetery is rough, scattered and overgrown. Possibly the stone was destroyed. This area was occupied 1st by Confederate then later Union troops during that time, so travel would have been somewhat risky. The mountains, a few miles to the east of Stephenson was the hideout for Bushwhackers, who preyed on citizens and soldiers alike. Raids and killings were common. It is possible that he moved back to Cannon Co., during the later part of the war, after that area settled down a bit. An 1864 field map of the Union Army, shows the home of "Esq. Dickens", near Bradyville, at about where Hopewell was located. Jess Lewis

Jess, I'll send a check out Monday, I would like a copy of the book.. I plan to retire next year and hope to get back to TN soon after. I want to visit Cannon County, see the places many of my paternal roots sprang from and Sullivan County for the maternal side. Have enjoyed all the postings, thank you for the dedication to this site.

Many records were destroyed. All marriage records before 1853 seem to be missing, probably from that fire. Any 12-12-1850 record of a Coffee Co. marriage between A. J. Inglish and Emeline Dickems, must be a bible record, or some something similar. Anyone got any other ideas or source of proof? Jess Lewis

Not sure. That is all I could find on them. Kevin

Y'all just aren't far enough South. Down here in Atlanta we have lots of "ingrates". That's what my dear old mother used to call us children when we failed to show the appropriate amount of gratitude for her unselfish actions on our behalf. Now I am fixin' to shut up before I get kicked off this list. Sorry about the colloquialism.

Here's the transcription of the probate record that makes the case that A. J. Inglish who died in 1858 was the husband of Emeline Dickems. In 1860 Census Emeline is living with her two children in her father's household. Rutherford Co Record Book 21, page 24 A. J. Inglish Probate File A.J. Inglish Dec'd We the Commissioners appointed by the County Court at the July Term 1858 to set apart one year's provisions for Emaline Inglish the widow of the late A.J. Inglish Dec'd. We set apart the following articles (to wit 200# of Baken & 700 # of pork, 30 Barrels of corn out of new crop, 10 Bushels of wheat, 50# of coffee, 100# Sugar, $20 in money to supply any deficiencies in the above articles and to furnish other articles necessary not named to be paid by adm't, to the said widow. Given under our hands this 23rd July 1858. Signed and sworn to before me J.D. Gelmone S G Miller JP for said Co. Herman Pearson J. D Bingham Another part of the record deals with the sale of A.J.'s possessions, where there are listed boxes of medicines, pills, tooth drawers, surgical instruments, etc, so I think he might have been the physician listed in the 1850 Bradyville Census. If so the "A" is probably for Andrew. I would like to find this marriage record (12-12-1850 Coffee Co.) but it is elusive. Next problem is parents for Andrew. Harry Buchanan - ( McCaslin - Inglis Families of Bradyville)

Thanks Kevin for all your Inglis info. Some months ago I had tried contacting the person responsible for putting up the Baxter Dickens tree, but the mail comes back, so can't verify where that info comes from.

That is OK ! I lived on Rt. 5 in Douglasville, GA for onr year, next to where the WalMart is now. I caught on to some of those Phrases !! I can still remember those women around Carrollton ! Dang, I had better shut up too ! The only thing I had a problem with, was up north here, we call shopping carts, shopping carts. I was in Winn-Dixie in Douglasville and a lady came over the speaker and said all sack boys to the parking lot for a buggy roundup. I thought there was Amish People out there !! Kevin Morgan
