Looking for information on the family of William P (Uncle Billy) Hampton born Aug 8 1789 in a part of North Carolina that became Tennessee not long after he was born. William married Malinda ( maiden name unknown) born in Virginia about 1792. William and Malinda had seven children , at least two of which were born in Tennessee; John H., James P. Mary Adelaide, Elizabeth, William Irwin, Lemira, and Elizabeth. William left Tennessee sometime around 1825 or 1828 for McLean Co Illinois, stayed there til about 1835 or 1838 when he moved on to Dade County Missouri. William died in Dade Co. in 1855. I would like to find out what part of Tennessee William came from, who his parents were, and if he had any siblings. I have not been able to find any trace of William before he appreared in Illinois. Census records list his state of birth as N.C., but history books from McLean Co. and Dade Co. refer to him as a native of Tennessee with a connection to Wade Hampton of Civil War fame. Unfortunately, none of the books say how he is connected to Wade Hampton. Any help would be appreciated and I will share all information I have on later generations of Hampton's. Thanks for your time Jaime JLeeV196@aol.com

Hello list, I have a photo that I think was taken in downtown Nashville ca. 1945 that shows an aunt of mine in front of a store. The name appears to be Napier & Co??? In the background is a building with the word 'CANDY' in large letters. Can someone on the list with a knowledge of Nashville during this period look at my photo and verify that it is indeed downtown Nashville? If so, I can send a jpg file, fax, or snail mail -your pick. Thanks, Lee Blackburn Researching Blackburn, Redmon(d), Van Hooser & Hickey in Tennessee

Re previous inquiry (below). Subject: Street names <<Is there any place on the web to learn the relationship of old street names to current Nashville streets (e.g., Water St., Cherry St., Front St.? Macalyne Watkins Fristoe >> SANBORN FIRE INSURANCE ANNUAL MAPS.From about 1880 to about 1930, a fire insurance company insured structures WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF TOWNS across the United States. They did an annual hand drawn extremely detailed map of every city, every street within the city. What is remarkable about these maps is they did a detailed drawing of the outline of every piece of property as it lay on each lot, within each block throughout the city. All streets were named, all blocks were drawn and (as I said) outlines of all the structures were drawn on each lot. For example, if there were 3 structures on one lot, then the outlines of all 3 structures on that lot were drawn, true to shape (a house, perhaps a garage and an outbuilding). Didn't matter how small the structure it seemed. Unfortunately the individual residential lots did not show who owned them. BUT, the streets were all clearly listed and most churches, some businesses and downtown section usually included details around the square. In addition, within each year, it would give some details on the whole city such as population, fire houses and other 'brag items'. The cities or towns did not have to be very big, to be included in the Sanborn Fire Ins. Maps. WHERE TO FIND THEM: these maps exist in their entirety at Library of Congress but very expensive to access thru them. I am pretty sure that Knoxville library has a collection of these maps on microfilm for just the cities of Tennessee. (Try the McClung collection of Knoxville). Perhaps somewhere at Nashville they might have them too (often colleges do) and maybe one of our subscribers can tell you where. I don't think the local Tennessee sources will have EVERY YEAR FOR EVERY CITY IN TENNESSEE (from 1880s to 1930s) but I'm guessing they have every 5 years or so. Therefore you should be able to view and copy from these collections of Sanborn Maps for City of Nashville, at random years during their existence. I'm sure each street will be clearly defined for each year you select. Hope this proves useful to someone. Joyce (Woodruff) Terrana, Burleson, Tx.

Hi, List... I'm looking for any information on George Ringold DOVE, who was born in 1839-40, maybe in LaVergne, Rutherford county, TN. I have reason to believe he may have lived in Davidson county in 1857. Can anyone confirm this? 1870 census places him in Rye Cove, Scott county, VA with a wife (Rosamond, nee CARTER)and 2 children. I would be *really* interested to find out more about his family (parents may have been Ringold and Fanny DOVE) and if he was previously married... or any other information! Thanks, Julie <vjb760@bellsouth.net>
