Hey folks, I have gotten a lot of responses to my earlier posting about the Cheatham County History Book, and the cemetery transcriptions. In some instances I have been able to put some folks together who are searching for information...so had a thought. How about posting some information about one of the lines you are researching...maybe some that you are having problems finding. There are quite a few of us subscribed to this list...surely some can help others...or at least get some discussion going on some of the lines. BTW I noticed that if you hit "reply" the response will go to the person sending in the message rather than to the Board. If we would post all our messages to the Board, we can all benefit by the queries and the responses too. It's getting late, so I'll post some of my "brickwalls" tomorrow.. Hope to see some other postings too. Also, will be very glad to help any of you with submitting a biography for our History Book. Just let me know. Thanks. Reba

Hello Everyone.... My Cheatham County surnames are: GARLAND HAMBRICK HICKERSON McCALL Have a wonderful weekend! Linda in W.TN

The extended date for the history book is June 30. This is suppose to be the final deadline. All you TnCheatham Board subscribers, be sure to get your biographical info in by that date. I will be glad to assist you if you need help or have questions. A book order (pre-publishing price) is $52.50 plus (if you want shipping or inscribed, etc.) I can help you with that as well. Also, some members of the committee will be setting up booths around Cheatham County to help folks or answer questions or just get the word out. Anyone wanting to help with this project, please contact me or call the office at 792-3623. Reba (Gran4piano@aol.com)

Has anyone heard of the extended date of the Cheatham County Historical and Genealogical Association Family History Book?

Computer users who receive the e-mail should just delete it without opening the attachment, and they won’t be infected. The virus apparently originated in the Phillippines and hit Europe and Asia early this morning, said Eric Chien, chief researcher at the Symantec Antivirus Research Center in the Netherlands. Symantec and other virus companies have already come up with vaccination and cure programs, but their Web sites were swamped by users this morning. Clogs Up Networks The virus uses similar tricks to last year’s feared Melissa virus, but it’s even more widespread and destructive, Chien said. First, “loveletter” resets a user’s Internet Explorer Start Page to a Web page containing an executable file. The page has since been taken down, Chien said. He said researchers are unsure what the executable file does when launched. Then, the virus searches for all files with the extensions JPG, JPEG, MP2, and MP3 — the most popular graphics and sound formats — as well as other, more obscure extensions. It erases the files and replaces them with copies of itself under the same name, with the extension VBS tacked on. Chat room aficionados are extra-vulnerable. The virus infects the popular mIRC chat program, so the next time a user starts chatting, the virus goes out to everyone in the room. Finally, the program multiplies by hijacking Microsoft Outlook and e-mailing itself to everyone in an Outlook address book. Anyone running Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or both Windows 95 and Internet Explorer 5.0 is vulnerable, Chien said. The virus needs Microsoft Outlook to spread. Macintosh and Linux users are not vulnerable. The virus spreads through corporate firewalls because most are not configured to reject attachments with a .txt.vbs extension, a relatively uncommon type of file, information systems managers said. Bored Student? Two lines within the virus identify the author as “Spyder,” part of the “@GRAMMERsoft Group” from Manila, Philippines and say “I hate go to school.” He also offers his opinion of his work: “simple but I think this is good ...” “The group name is not familiar,” said security consultant Brian Martin. And “Spyder” is a common name in the electronic underground. But the virus contains an e-mail address that should make it “easy to track him,” Martin said. Officials at Spyder’s e-mail provider, mail.com, are “working on the problem,” a mail.com spokeswoman said. The virus “appears to have been written by a student, probably 14 to 28 years old and probably male as well,” Chien said, citing code within the virus and past experience with virus writers. “He seemed to just write it because he was bored. He probably has no idea he’d cause so much chaos,” Chien said. But the writer does have a good idea of psychology. By adding the phrase “kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me” to the e-mails, he makes users think it might be a personal message. “If you send an attachment with, ‘I’m a virus, run me,’ people won’t run it. But with this, people say, ‘oh, look, it’s a love letter, I think I’ ll open it,’” Chien said. The answer, security experts said, is simple: Never, ever, ever, open an attached file that comes as a surprise, no matter who it seems to be from, or how “loving” it seems to be. Stunning Spread Experts said they were stunned by the speed and wide reach of the virus. “Many, many tens of thousands of machines have been infected by it,” said Symantec spokesman Richard Saunders. In the U.S., the virus has affected the Pentagon, the federal Department of Agriculture, the Florida Lottery, the Wisconsin Legislature, and media organizations including Time Warner Inc., according to employees of affected companies and officials of anti-virus companies. “It is literally anybody who is running Microsoft Outlook, and that is the most common e-mail client in the world,” said Richard Jacobs, president of anti-virus firm Sophos. The bug appeared in Hong Kong late in the afternoon, spreading throughout e-mail systems once a user opened one of the contaminated messages. It later moved into European parliamentary houses and through the high-tech systems of big companies and financial traders. “I have to tell you that, sadly, this affectionate greeting contains a virus which has immobilized the House’s internal communication system,” said Margaret Beckett, leader of Britain’s House of Commons. “This means that no member can receive e-mails from outside, nor indeed can we communicate with each other by e-mail.” Companies in Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland were also hit. ABCNEWS’ Sascha Segan and The Associated Press contributed to this story. Curing the Virus May 4 — All the major anti-viral companies have released free trial versions of their software that can fix the new virus. Try going to www.symantec.com, www.mcafee.com, or www.sophos.com. You’ll be cured, but you won't be able to get your JPEG and MP3 files back unless you've made backups. To prevent further infections by copycat viruses, Richard Jacobs of Sophos recommends you turn off your Windows Scripting Host. In Windows 98, that means go to your Start Menu and choosing Settings, then Control Panel. Double-click on the Windows Components control panel, and then choose the Accessories option. Uncheck the box for Windows Scripting Host, which should be the last one on the list. Melissa and ILOVEYOU both use Windows Scripting Host to propagate, but very few users need it in their day-to-day lives, Jacobs said. The number-one lesson, antiviral experts agree, is to scrutinize e-mail closely. “It’s so important for people to think about what they’re opening in their e-mail. Very few people get large numbers of love letters via email,” Jacobs said. -----Original Message----- From: Jenalogy@aol.com <Jenalogy@aol.com> To: TNWAYNE-L@rootsweb.com <TNWAYNE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 04 May, 2000 12:19 PM Subject: [TNWAYNE] Fwd: MAJOR VIRUS WARNING-NO HOAX > >--part1_9b.48a1908.26430ad9_boundary >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > > >--part1_9b.48a1908.26430ad9_boundary >Content-Type: message/rfc822 >Content-Disposition: inline > >Return-path: <Jenalogy@aol.com> >From: Jenalogy@aol.com >Full-name: Jenalogy >Message-ID: <8e.4985175.26430a38@aol.com> >Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 13:15:36 EDT >Subject: MAJOR VIRUS WARNING-NO HOAX >To: TNWAYNE@Rootsweb.com >CC: DAVIS-L@rootsweb.com, NORMAN-L@rootsweb.coM, ROSE-L@rootsweb.com, > BRYANT-L@rootsweb.com, SCUNION@rootsweb.com, CASEY-L@rootsweb.com, > Tommoore@hcnews.com, roadbait@uswest.net, sjritter@Compworldnet.net, > PapaGroom@aol.com, StewartOK@aol.com, admbak@mtnhome.com, > Nghtswimer@aol.com, Casey81@juno.com, TOYOTA97@webtv.net, > C.Kinnear@worldnet.att.net, dmohler@gotec.net, ARSEARCY-l@rootsweb.com, > Tom.Norman@alliedsignal.com >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 106 > >ON MY TELEVISION (ABC) JUST NOW APPEARED A "BREAKING NEWS FLASH" STATING THAT >IN OUR AREA (TULSA) MAJOR COMPANY'S HAVE SHUT DOWN THEIR SYSTEMS BECAUSE OF A >VIRUS CALLED "I LOVE YOU" >THEY CALLED IT A VERY DANGEROUS VIRUS CAUSING MAJOR EXPENSE.

Does anyone know which Cheatham County Pardue family has a daughter Sarah Martha PARDUE? She was my g-grandmother and the only information I have is that: She married Green Webster HUNT on 20 Jan 1870 in Cheatham County, Tennessee. She shows up with her husband on the 1870 Cheatham County Census in the home of her mother-in-law Elizabeth HUNT-- E.C. Hunt 69 TN, G.W. 31 m, S.M. 24 f, W. Edwards 22, Rose Hunt 28 blk, Molly 7, Turner 4, Joseph 10/12 I was told that she went to Denison, Texas with her husband and had three daughters born there. After she died, Green Webster brought the three small daughters back to Cheatham County where he remarried in 1885. I have no dates for the time in Texas, and I have not been able to find any trace of this family in Grayson County, Texas. I would greatly appreciate any information on this. Marge Currin

Jim, Just wanted to thank you again for putting me in touch with Joyce. We finally talked on the phone last night for over an hour! She is something else! And she will probably be able to answer most of my questions or at least point me in the right direction. We are now trying to figure out how we can get together. Thanks again for connecting me with a true Collins Cousin! Mary Carol in Chattanooga P.S. My uncle was a Marine in WWII. He is still just as proud of that today as he was 50 years ago!

Oh dear best becarful stubbling around those cemeteries. Actually your adventure sounds better than one I had in the Pinson-Wilson Cemetery as it was covered in briar bushes. I tore my shirt and was scratched up. I know one thing our ancestors best be happy we are doing all this hunting for them.

For Jeanne, I finally got to the graveyard in question around 1130 this morning. Actually I was up there about 7:15 last evening but after stumbling over 3 or 4 tombstones and stepping in a hole I left - I figured - what the hey - " he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day"! Well, instead of 13 gravesites, I found about 30 or 40 and some pretty modern. Turners, Nicholsons, Pardues, Slaydens, Lennox, Waltons, etc. But I was just at stumbly today as I was last evening. I'm just not cut out for this graveyard rambling anymore. When Reba Harris gets back from her vacation, around the 1st of April, I will get her to record it or Karen Martin. So watch the TnGenWeb Tombstone site. I don't know what they will call it - it is at the top of Marks Creek Hill just to the North of Ashland City. But back in the early 1900s it would have been called Lick-Skillet Hill. (Hardly appropriate for a cemetery name) (It was so named because when the pioneers reached that area on the way to the Great Salt Lick (Nashville) they were out of food and could only lick their skillets for nourishment. <G> Rsp Jim Allen P.S. Please send me a reminder on/around 1 April to contact Reba

Does anyone have any info. on the following? Especially the parents of Nancy & George. If anyone has access to the 1870 Cheatham Co. Census a look-up for the DARROW household would be great! Thanks.

Well; excuse me Jeanne, I've got to quit trying to answer these things before my first cup of coffee in the morning. I went back to the WPA Bible and Tombstone Records of Cheatham County and there on page 122 I found the Turner Graveyard Cheatham County. It is located 2 miles from Ashland City, Tennessee. (there are no other directions that would indicate exactly where the location is from Ashland City) It states that "The Turner and Pardue Families are two of the oldest in Cheatham County and have been connected with the County Government in Cheathm County for a period of Seventy years or more. Copied by Mrs. Edna Hunter, Ashland City, Tennessee. February 17, 1937." There appears to be 13 people buried there. I can find none of them listed in the 1986 Tombstone Records by Dennis Dozier Haile Garrett and James Garrett. I do not personally know where this cemetery is located but perhaps if I list here all the names, someone will recognize it. T. A. Turner Mar 27 1840-Oct 20, 1908 R. S. Turner Apr 14, 1934 - Aug 9, 1909 Mary W. Turner Mar 8 1934 - aged 80 years B. W. Turner Feb 26, 1851-Dec 7, 1903 George Turner Feb 26, 1883 - July 4, 1919 Thomas B. Pardue Jan 30, 1843 - Nov 11, 1919 Angeline Pardue Sep 14, 1854-March 17, 1915 Charlie Walton 1866-1920 Isiac Baker Walton 1826-1907 Dr. Jas. Robert Walton May 9, 1862-Dec 12, 1906 Charles Grisby Walton Nov 17, 1897 - Sept 20 1910 Sarah E. Hudgens April 1, 1869 - June 1, 1929 Charles L. Teasley, Oct 3, 1879 - Jan 21, 1920 I have a photo of Mary Tennessee Turner daughter of Arthur Turner - it is her wedding photo - don't know the date but is early 1900s. Just got off the phone with 100 year old, as of 7 Jan 2000, Ms Vivian Hudgens, who feels certain that this is the cemetery atop Marks Creek Hill to the North of Ashland City (now about a half mile from the city limits) Maybe someone else will have some thoughts on this - I will try to go look this evening on my way to Ashland City for the Cheatham County Historical and Genealogical Association meeting at 7:00 P.M. at the Senior Citizens Center on Ruth Drive.

Thanks to you who answered by question about the Turner Graveyard. I was in the area several years ago and a cousin told me that the cemetery was about 2 miles from Ashland City. She called it the Turner Graveyard, or cemetery. My notes leave something to be desired, but it looks like my first information came from "Tombstone Records of Cheatham Co. Tenn - Haile." I may have found it in the Dickson Co library while there. It lists a "Turner Graveyard- Cheatham" It shows B.W. Turner 1851-1903; R.S. Turner 1847-1909; T.A. Turner 1840-1908, and Mary W. Turner d. 1934 80 years. And possibly more. Possibly it goes by another name. Or is very small. Thanks again, Jeanne

Could anyone tell me the location of Turner Graveyard? It is supposed to be located about 2 miles from Ashland City. Any help would be appreciated. Jeanne Mills

East Tennessee Historical Society Hosts Genealogy Conference and Family Reunion Celebration The sons and daughters of Tennessee's pioneer founders are heading home this Memorial Day weekend. The East Tennessee Historical Society (ETHS) is hosting a weekend-long genealogy conference and family history fair, May 26-28, in Knoxville, Tennessee. A highlight of the conference will be a "family reunion" of members of the society's family heritage project, First Families of Tennessee (FFT)the debut of a new First Families of Tennessee book. Guests attending the conference will face a wide variety of options and activities, including a two-day genealogy conference featuring national and regional experts, a family history fair and street party in downtown Knoxville, motorcoach tours of historic East Tennessee sites, and a "family reunion" dinner at the home of Tennessee's first governor, John Sevier. The genealogy conference, held at Knoxville's Hilton Hotel, May 26-27, will examine Southeastern "roots and routes" - focusing on our ancestors and their migrations into and out of East Tennessee. Guest speakers will discuss a variety of topics including Scots-Irish research, Cherokee genealogy, Tennessee land records, Tennesseans in the California gold rush, frontier religion, and more. Experts will also discuss research topics in states associated with Tennessee's earliest residents, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Descendants of Tennessee's first families will celebrate the publication of the East Tennessee Historical Society's newest book, First Families of Tennessee: A Register of Early Settlers and Their Descendants. The book, a tribute to the ancestors enrolled in the FFT project, will include names and vital stats of the more than 2,000 ancestors enrolled in the project, along with a registry of FFT members. The book will be unveiled in a special ceremony and will be available for purchase at the history conference. Guest speakers will include Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Charles Sherrill of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Russell Baker, Robert Davis, historian Walter Durham, and other experts on a variety of genealogical and historical topics. In addition to the multi-track genealogy conference, ETHS will host a genealogy and family history fair featuring mini-workshops for beginners, vendor displays, tours of local historic sites, carriage and trolley rides in downtown Knoxville, and living history demonstrations. The fair will also include a downtown street party outside the historical society's headquarters with live music, dramatic performances, historic reenactments, children's activities and more. While the theme of the weekend will be built around a family reunion of First Families of Tennessee members, attendance at all the events is open to anyone with an interest in history and genealogy. The First Families of Tennessee was founded by the East Tennessee Historical Society in 1993 to honor the state's early residents and to recognize their descendants. The program is open to those who can prove descent from a person living in any part of Tennessee by 1796. Housed in Knoxville's Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection, the First Families of Tennessee files provide a one-of-a-kind resource for historical and genealogical research.
