Hi Betty, Amanda's parents were John F. Miller and Hannah McMannus Williams. Interestingly enough, my line is a direct line from many kings of England through John. I can only imagine how the Queen would feel if she knew she had bumpkin cousins in maury co, TN ;0) Amy

Hi Amy, I would be very interested in any info or connection you may see to Tolbert or Carter from the following people: Permelia J. Tolbert m. William J. Sissom 14 Dec 1869 in Cannon County, Tennessee. Nothing more known. J. T. Carter m. Mary Taylor Sissom (Second mar) on 02 Mar 1882 in Manchester, Coffee County, Tennessee. I do have some additional info on this couple. John D.

I love this -- did you write it? Jane Brown

Kevin, She was Amanda Elizabeth Miller when she married. William died after only 2 years of marriage leaving a son Samuel West Johnson. After living back home with her parents for some time, Amanda married W.C. Martin and had at least 1 more son. Her death certificate lists her as Amanda Elizabeth Martin. Hopefully this is useful information for you. I've got lots more if this is a match for someone. Thanks, Amy

Thanks, Jess, for sending Harry Buchanan my direction! He and I have both been looking for the Inglis that married Martha Emeline Dickens, our mutual ancestor. Harry is wonderful, he found a reference in the TN-Rutherford site, and sent away for copies of documents from Rutherford Co. The lost Inglis is: Andrew J Inglis born c1817 in NC, died intestate in 1858 leaving Emeline with two small sons, William B and Granville W. In 1850 Andrew is single, a physician, and living with the David Patton family in Dist 12 of Cannon Co. Someone has given us the date of Dec 12, 1850 Coffee Co as date and place of their marriage. Now I am trying to connect him to his parents. Harry and I think he may be related to the Littleberry Inglis group. Anyone out there connected to that Inglis clan? Deirdre - Sonora CA Jameson, Inglis, Todd, Stacey et al (Sounds like a law firm!)

Thanks Kevin, This is the best lead I've had in over 5 years of searching! Thanks again, Amy

Hi Kevin, His first name was William, but it was William R Johnson (WR Johnson on the memorial). I'm a Tolbert by marriage. I'm on the cannon co. list b/c I'm researching my husband's family as well. They are Tolberts and Carters from Readyville and Hoovers (i.e. Hoover's Mill) from cannon co. By the way, thanks for all the work you put into this list! I enjoy reading all of it, even if it doesn't apply to me. Amy

It is an unknown author, no copyright. Was sent to me. Just wanted to cover a basic feeling for all of us. Most are like people around me, " Why do you look for all these people " ? Because of the History. Seeing what others went through. A kid told me the other day, his power on his I-POD had went down and it ruined his day. I wanted to say 100 years ago, that would have been the last thing you had to worry about !!! They don't know. Would make them appreciate they didn't have to kill their dinner. Kevin Morgan

Hi All, Has anyone ever tried to get info about confederate soldiers that were at Camp Douglas? My GGGgrandfather was a POW and died there. His name is even listed on the confederate memorial at Oak Woods. His wife did not apply for a pension but I do know he was in the light art. from maury co. He was one of the men captured at Fort Donelson. Thanks Searching Russell, Durham, Mann and Tolbert

Amy, What was William Johnson's wife's name ? Kevin Morgan

I could not find anything on him. The name was common. I did find this contact. Maybe they can help you find what unit or other records for him. Kevin IL - Marsha Carmichael has graciously offered to assist anyone who is looking for a soldier who died at Camp Douglas and are buried at the Oakwood Cemetery in Chicago. This is her email message to me. Thank you, Marsha. Appreciate everyone's help to make this page what it has become. Keep up the good work. First, your site is wonderful for researchers! You've done an amazing job and I'm sure have helped many, many people with their research. I'm writing because, in my research for my family ghosts, I took photos of the names of the soldiers who died at Camp Douglas in Chicago and are buried at Oakwood Cem. There are over 4000 names listed on the monument (although over 6000 died there). I'd be happy for you to post this on your site if any researcher would like me to check & see if their ancestor is listed and, if so, I'd be happy to send the portion with the soldier's name listed. They may contact me - MARSHA [email protected] - just make sure there's a note in the SUBJECT LINE that mentions CAMP DOUGLAS QUERY so I won't delete the message! Again - keep up the good work on that site and thanks!! Marsha

amy, What was his first name ? A Tolbert ? Was it William ? Kevin Morgan

Kevin, That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Kristi Moffitt

That was a poem by an unknown author. All my hand written poems start with " Get Er Done ". Kevin

Your tombstone stands among the rest; Neglected and alone. The name and date are chiseled out On polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who care It is too late to mourn. You did not know that I exist You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh, in blood, in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled One hundred years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so. I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you.

So, true, Kevin! Thank you for posting that. Sandy Smith, 6th Gen. Texan Temple, Texas Proud Descendant of these Tennessee families: Robertsons of Nashville, Maclin, Dragoo, Hendersons of Cannon & Warren Counties; also Vickrey (Vickery), Mabry (Mabray), Odle, Cutbirth (Cuthberth), Paine, Wheat, etc.
