Thanks to all those who responded to my query re: Rhoda Estes.

I am not a descendant of Rhoda Estes, but rather a descendant of the Smith line, most of whom lived around the Little Sycamore area of Claiborne County. Thanks again.

Attention Teachers and those of you that know Teachers! The Civil War Preservation Trust has a program that they call Adopt A Battlefield. Materials are adaptable to suit the age, interest and skill level of students as well as time available for the program. Any teacher can request a kit either by e-mailing Jennifer Rosenberry, Education Coordinator at: jrosenberry@civilwar.org or contacting her by phone at 1-800-606-1400, Ext. 204. Each kit includes: Student Preservation Oath, Teacher Preservation Goal form, Union and Confederate paperwork and soldier service records, activity idea sheets, a two week Civil War Curriculum CD-ROM, and much, much more. The soldier paperwork and service records allow students to take on a "Civil War identity" as they learn the fate of their adopted soldier. I'm making this short, but if anyone would like to read the whole announcement I'll be happy to send it to them.

Hi Did you get the class pictures I e-mailed to Shirley & Helen. I sent a copy to Larry too and he got his so I am assuming that you did get the 19 or so pictures. I can send them again if you did not get them so let me know. Bob

Who is the Rhoda Anderson, age 56, born in SC, on the 1850 Claiborne County Census? She is living right there next to our Ellison and Lynch families also from SC. She is also listed as a member of the Davis Creek Church. Does anyone know her maiden name and lineage? Thanks Beverly Ellison Nelson
