In the C'villle Montgomery Co.Public Library's Genealogy Room,I found a recorded listing of the Bible Records of Henry Baggett's Family.It was recorded in 1938 as a part of a WPA project,at the home of their Daughter, Jenny Baggett Lipscomb, who had posession of the Bible at that time.It says that there were 17 children born to them! 2 who were stillborn,& 14 of whom were still living at the time of this recording.There were 120 Direct decendents of the Family at the time of this recording .There is a lengthy listing of all the births of the family,some deaths &marriages of the children.Have you seen this Bible Edward?If not i can send you a photocopy of this info. Or anyone else interested in it. Joyce.

I am slowly getting back in the swing after surgery. I recently got some new information on my husband's Coleman family and this has got me working on that line. This is the family of Joel Coleman and his wife, Mildred Robertson. I don't know where they lived but think it was in the Pleasant View area. Their children were in both Robertson and Cheatham Co., and seemed to be near Pleasant View. Would love to hear from any cousins who want to swap info. My husband's great grand mother was Nannie Carter Coleman who married Burgess Harris Bradley. Debie

Edward, I have found out that D.W.Stack Was married to Sarah S.Allen in 1879 & she Died Jan. 23rd 1892, .Possibly he remarried after that. Joyce.

Does anyone have any information about the following? The 1876 "Minutes of Thirty Third Annual Convention of Free Will Baptist " list a Church named 'Bethel FWB in Dickson County. J. M Albright and W. B. Simmons are listed as delegates. There was a totol of 39 members were in the Church. Was there really a Dickson Co. "Bethel" Free Will Baptist Church. In the same minute the address' of two ministers were: "Rev. E E Collison, Charlote, Dickson County, Tennessee and Rev. J. A. Allbright, Danialsville, Dickson County,Tennessee." (A Rev J. Davis,and G W Carney, Ashand City; W. H. Head, Pleasant View; were the ministers listed from Cheatham Co.) I have previously written a history of the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church in Cheatham Co and since finding this Association Minute am wondering if these two Bethel Churchs are connected in some way. The Albright and Simmons names are West Cheatham names (then and today) A Bethel Church is listed in later minutes which is obviously Cheatham Co Bethel but never is there two Bethels listed at the same time. There are several missing minutes for many years of this Association, so I can't make a determination based solely on them. Does anyone hane any information on the Revs. Allbright or Collison, anything about Bethel Church, or about Danialsville? The Cumberland Association of Free Will Baptist included Dickson, Cheatham,Stewert, Montgomery, Davidson, Houston, and some counties in Kentucky during this time (and still for the most part today) Any help that someone might have would be appreciated. Thanks Jerry

Other HOOPER/HOLLIS connections I have in my database are: 1) William HOOPER, b. 1765, NC; d. 1822, TN; married Sarah HOLLIS (son of James HOLLIS & Ann CUNNINGHAM), 1789 in Davidson Co., TN. Children are Asa HOOPER, b. 1798, Nashville, Davidson Co., TN and James B.

HOOPER; Children: Josephine HOLLIS and Edward HOLLIS. Seems like there's got to be a connection somewhere. I am trying to find out the parents of my Theressa A. HOOPER (listed above). Cassie : )

I have just copied this verbatim from the transcript I received. As you will see, this is not the entire information and more will follow. Please keep in mind that the bible is well over 200 years old. Having known Janie Dozier Somers, in Nebo Methodist Church, when I was much younger, it took me very little time to call Janie after I read her name in the Union City Messenger article. Janie contacted her nephew, Henry, who brought the Bible, and we met at Janie's home for a wonderful afternoon of visiting and copying as much as I had time for. They both invited me to come back to finish copying what ever I wanted. Henry, who has been given the Bible, was the son of Grady Dozier, who was Janie's brother, and son of James Greely Dozier, who was the son of Henry C. Dozier. I had worked with other family members in getting my Dozier info. together for our Nebo History, never thinking Janie would have an interest, which she assured me she had not had, but, thanks goodness she appreciated the Bible passed on by her father and has given it to Henry, who is interested. I will get back, as soon as possible and copy the rest. There was no earthquake info. other than that published in the Union City Messenger. That information was written on one half of a Family Record Page. We know from the Civil War Pension Application of Henry C. Dozier, that he was born in Davidson County in 1835. The three of us, Janie, Henry and I believe the Bible was probably in Davidson Co. when the Earthquake account was written, but there is no proof from what is in the Bible. Of course, my interest was what was there in the way of genealogy. Here is what I copied: Published in Philadelphia 1802 (page in front of New Testament) New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Translated out of the Original Greek and with Former Translations diligently compared and revised by the special Command of King James of England Philadelphia printed for Mathew Carey #118, Market Street October 27, 1802 (at the bottom of another page) This book was purchased Oct. 12 Anno Domini 1803 by James Lovell (in the margin below this) Felix Grundy Lovell and George Washington Campbell Lovell was both Baptised by Brother Crie?? on the 23 day of ?? 1812 The next info. has been copied as best as I could read with a real good light. Some was very faded, some torn away and some I just could not make out, because of handwriting. I tried to copy as spelled. Some had bornd and some borned. I wish the Bible was in shape to copy on my copy machine, but I fear it would be damaged and I would never want that done. James Lovell and his wife Caty was married Oct. 8, 1799 (more Lovell info I will copy when I go back) Anaminta Domer Hooper, daug. of Thomas and Nancy Hooper was bornd 19th.

Just curious, because, this would be great---I have a date of 1806 for her birth in Davidson Co. and surely the Bible has the more accurate date. Also it's nice to know her parents' names--I hope to connect my Theressa HOOPER (m. Silas WOODSON) of Montgomery Co. to this line of HOOPERs somehow. Cassie L. Brown

Edward ,I have found another dau. of Virginia and Henry Baggett, burried in Brewers Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetary, also in Cheatham co.Jennie Baggett Lipscomb, Wife of Thomas a Lipscomb, Jennie was born on 11/4/1885,Died 3/14/1972. There were a number of other STACKs & BASFORDS Burried there too ,anyone interested Email me for the details.Joyce2005@aol.com

I am trying to square a will I found for Jeannetta T. Stack nee Allen (Cheatham County, Vol. C, Page 562) with the information I have seen on this list. In her will she lists D.W. Stack as her husband; however, I have seen information here which suggest Susan S. Allen was his wife. Perhaps he married sisters. Perhaps this D.W. is a son of Susan who married one of his Allen cousins. Can anyone shed any light? The will lists siblings as L.J. Allen, F.L. Allen, Tennessee Boggess, Nancy "Nannie" E. Chambliss, Thursa R. Pardue (dec'd), and F.M. Allen (male, dec'd). It also lists Oma Pardue, a niece. It is dated 29 Feb 1904 and recorded 6 April 1908. No children are listed.

Who can tell me more about Samuel Baggett (son of Virginia Stack and Henry Warren Baggett) who died in 1913 in Cheatham County, TN (I assume). I have only seen a short note from a WPA Bible transcript which says, "died while serving as Sheriff of Cheatham County." Was he killed? Or, did he simply die while in office? Does anyone know the details. If not, what was the name of the local paper? I posted this on the Cheatham County query page, but thought I would cover all the bases. Thanks for any help.

Below is the posting to the Gibson County List which was posted last week. Vicky -----Original Message----- From: RTR [mailto:dixey@ix.netcom.com] Sent: Saturday, December 05, 1998 2:58 PM To: TNGIBSON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNGIBSON-L] 1811 Earthquake I copied this from The Messenger, Union City, Tennessee, a newspaper which is on-line. 2:52:30 PM Saturday, December 5, 1998 Family Bible reports earthquake Family Bible reports earthquakes of 1811-12 By JOHN BRANNON Messenger Staff Reporter An old family Bible found in Dyer County recently may yield more information about earthquakes on the New Madrid fault that formed Reelfoot Lake 1811-1812. "Any new account that no one has known about before is very important to us. We would like to come up and see it," said Arch Johnston, director of the Earthquake Research and Information Center at Memphis. The Bible's leather-bound cover is cracked and broken. Its pages are brittle and water-stained. A few pages are missing. Yet it's not in bad shape for the shape it's in. Pen-and-ink entries from the early 1800s are faded but readable. There are several pages of a family record of several generations. The Bible was given to Henry Dozier of Rutherford by his aunt, Janey Somers of Dyer, in mid-November. Dozier, an employee of Kellwood at Rutherford, said he immediately noticed the handwritten entries about the earthquakes. "I took a flashlight and went over it letter by letter and copied the whole thing down on paper," Dozier said. "I may have missed a letter or two, but I think I got it all." Here's what Dozier copied from the Bible: "December the 16th day 1811 this day there was an earthquake the earth received the First shock at two o'clock in the morning - at half past, another, and at 7 A.M., very severe, one at 10 A.M. another at 12, another at about 10 in the evening, another the 18th at Nine in the evening, another shock the 23rd, 4th of January 1812, there was two very scary shocks then But till the 12th of February in the morning at Six, this has been the severest shock we ever expericed" (Sentence structure, wording, and punctuation are repeated as they appear in the original.) Dozier doesn't know who penned the entry or where he or she was living. That information may have been contained in the pages that are missing. In the family record section, there is an entry, dated 1806, that has some of his ancestors living in Davidson County. "I just hope the information about the earthquakes will be helpful. It might tell us something about the next one to come," he said. Johnston said the accounts of the earthquakes may be very valuable to modern scientists. "Virtually all the accounts that we have say the Feb. 7 shock was the strongest felt in the New Madrid region which would certainly include West Tennessee," Johnston said. "This wording makes it sound like it's the 12th of February. We'll have to check and see if there's any record of a strong after-shock on the 12th. This gives a lot more detail on the other earthquakes than almost all other accounts we have." Johnston said a man in Louisville, Ky., kept "careful records" of the quakes. "From December 1811 to March 1812 he totaled over 1,800 shocks," Johnston said. "We think a magnitude 8 was the biggest." On the Richter scale that modern scientists use to measure earthquake intensity, each full-point increase is 10 times greater than the last. For example, a quake measuring 5 on the Richter scale is 10 times greater than a quake measuring 4. Hence, it would be more destructive. When it comes to energy produced by an earthquake, how much is much? Johnston said a magnitude-8 quake "is equal to a nuclear explosion of over 100 megatons." Hence, some of the strongest 1811-1812 quakes were felt as far away as Boston where ground waves caused church bells to ring. "My best estimate is, there were three principle events back then," Johnston said. "Dec. 16, 1811, was the biggest. We estimate it would measure 8.1. Then the next largest was a 7.8 on Jan. 23, 1812. Then on Feb. 7, 1812, an 8.0. All those are big quakes. Each had its own after-shocks. "Of course, there's an uncertainty on those estimates. There were no (seismological) instruments back then. So our estimates are a plus or minus point-3." Johnston said seismologists believe the Tiptonville area rose and dammed off Reelfoot Creek, forming Reelfoot Lake. The total difference between the lake bed sinking and the Tiptonville dome rising was 12 to 15 feet. "That was from the Feb. 7 shock. We know that because we have two riverboat accounts that were in it," Johnston said. "One of them talks about being swept back up the river. That's where the legend about the river running backward comes from." Johnston said that he or some other professor will visit Dozier this month to see the old Bible for themselves. "I want to get the feel for something 200 years old," he said. "Also, I'm very intrigued about the Feb. 12 entry. Sounds like it most probably was an after-shock. We just don't have anything on that date at all."

I don't know how many of you are aware of the bible which was found in an attic last week. It was broadcast on the news because it contained a first hand account of the 1811 earthquake. The bible belonged to my fourth great grandfather Joseph Dozier and indicates he was the son of Peter and Tiddy (Hooper) Dozier, born 09/24/1807 in Davidson (now Cheatham) County, TN. The bible also provides detail on the Lovell and Cullum lines. I have asked for a transcript of the information and would be more than happy to share with anyone interested.

I got this site in email from a cousin. I have not had time yet to check it out, but sounds interesting. "National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections," also known as NUCMC, at: http://lcweb.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/nucmc.html What is NUCMC? The National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC) is a free-of- charge cooperative cataloging program operated by the Library of Congress. How does the program work? On the basis of cataloging data supplied by eligible repositories to the NUCMC program, NUCMC catalogers create MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) bibliographic records in RLIN (Research Libraries Information Network), a national-level database, describing collections held by participants, and establish pertinent name and subject authority headings. Descriptions and locations of the material are then available to researchers on RLIN throughout the United States and around the world. IMPORTANT: the original documents (letters, diaries, photographs, maps, etc.), are NOT online at NUMCMC--just a detailed, written descriptions. What we in the library biz call catalog or bibliographic records. To get copies of original documents, you must contact the institution that owns them.

I wrote recently about an inventory of a men's clothing store in Cheatham Co., TN.

RE: 1900 store inventory I would love to read that! i collect old catalogs and old business ledgers they are fascinating reading! Im sorry i havent written any thing in a while i have had an ear infection and havent been doing much genealogy I am still going to send you a copy of the stack baggett cemetary records though, i havent forgotten it Joyce.

Sue, CCHGA collects such items for inclusion in the future county Museum/Archives and would love a copy. cchga007@bellsouth.net Cheatham County Historical & Genealogical Association 233 N. Vine Street Ashland City, TN 37015 Indicate that it is for the Museum. Currently, through donations, fund raisers, bequathes and grants, we have amassed about $28,000 in 4 years toward the Museum - have a long way to go - working with the county to try to find a house or building - "one of these days though" Rsp Jim Sue Musette wrote: > I have a copy of an inventory of Bradley Bros. stock, 1900.

I have a copy of an inventory of Bradley Bros. stock, 1900. This was apparently a men's clothing store in Cheatham Co., TN. The inventory lists all the shirts, pants, suspenders, buttons, etc., as well as accounts receivable... The inventory was attached to the inventory of a PACE ancestor of mine that I received from the TN State Library & Archives. I can't use the store's inventory, and would be glad to send it to anyone interested in having it. Best wishes, Sue suemusette@geocities.com http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/6185/
