    1. [TNCLAIBO] Sneed Cemetery and Walker Graves
    2. Phillip Walker
    3. A cousin has been trying to find what Paul Johnson called Sneed Cemetery, described as being half a mile southeast of Little Sycamore Road near the junction of Surber Road. Can anyone give more explicit directions? He knows the area pretty well but has been unable to find this particular cemetery. Speaking of cemeteries in the area, I don't think I've posted on this, but the graves of Edward Walker, Jr., a War of 1812 soldier, and his wife Mahala (nee Tussey) have formally been marked through the efforts of that same cousin, Tim Walker. They are in a small cemetery (just the two of them) on the old homeplace near Little Mulberry Church. After taking 162 years (from Mahala's death) to erect a tombstone, Tim and I found Mahala's real birth date one month later; go figure. For that matter, her death date, culled from Edward's second wife's pension application, apparently is also two years too early. For those keeping score at home, Mahala was actually born 29 December 1793 and apparently died 28 December 1844. And for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, if you have any Walkers whatsoever in your line who were born in or lived in Hancock County, Claiborne County, or Union County, they are probably related to Edward's line. Drop me a note, and I can probably tie them some place. -- Phillip A. Walker phillip.walker@gmail.com

    1. [TNCLAIBO] Records of Freed Slaves to Go Online
    2. Debra Rookard
    3. Anderson Independent-Mail Anderson, SC Oct 27, 4:16 AM EDT Records of Freed Slaves to Go Online By DIONNE WALKER Associated Press Writer RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Records the Freedmen's Bureau used to reconnect families - from battered work contracts to bank forms - will be placed online in part of a new project linking modern-day blacks with their ancestors. The Virginia Freedmen Project plans to digitize more than 200,000 images collected by the Richmond bureau, one of dozens of offices established throughout the South to help former slaves adjust to free life. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine on Thursday unveiled the project and a state marker near the site where the bureau once stood in downtown Richmond. "This is the equivalent for African Americans of Ellis Island's records being put up," said Kaine, who was joined by Mayor L. Douglas Wilder, the nation's first elected black governor and a grandson of slaves. Researchers will eventually transfer data from all of the southern states to an online database, said Wayne Metcalfe, vice president of the Genealogical Society of Utah, a partner in the project. Records from Virginia should be ready to go online by the middle of next year, Metcalfe said. "It was one of the larger states and one of the most complete collections available," he said. "It's a gold mine, as far as a genealogist is concerned." About a half-million slaves were left to establish a new life following emancipation, Metcalfe said. Established in 1865, the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands - also called the Freedmen's Bureau - helped former slaves find clothes, food and jobs. Bureaus kept meticulous records, documenting marriages and work histories. Those records will be scanned from microfilm and compiled into an electronic index families will eventually be able to access, Metcalfe said. Twenty-four years removed from slavery in rural Virginia, Hawkins Wilson had established himself as a respected Texas minister. But there was something missing from his life as a free man: the mother and sisters he left behind. In a letter dated May 11, 1867, he offered bureau officials details of his family's old home in Caroline County, and urged them to pass along a note to his sister, Jane. "Your little brother Hawkins is trying to find out where you are and where his poor old mother is," reads the letter, which will be included in the database. "Your advice to me to meet you in Heaven has never (lapsed) from my mind." Historians don't know if he ever found his family. Debra Great things have been affected by a few men well conducted.
