I am looking for the following surnames YARBROUGH YARBOROUGH YARBERRO YARBERO WALLACE LEE My grandfather James Yarbero was born in Davidson or Shelby Co in 1889 he had a brother named William George b. 1895. The boys got seperated and they changed the spelling of their name and it is hard to track them. Their Mother was Sarah or Clara Jane WALLACE (no dates on her) her father was suppose to have been Samuel WALLACE. I am told she either divorced the YARBROUGH or he died and then she married a Robert E Lee (not the famous one) and they had three children IDA MAE ROBERT E and a ROY I think they moved to Arkansas in the early 1900's. Would appreciate any help I can get on this family as I seem to have hit a brick wall. Thank you AttyKatty@aol.com

Thank you very much , Ken Sartin Rex , Georgia ksartin@wans.net ksartin@juno.com

Sorry to barge in, but was wondering where you were able to access The Tobacco Leaf -- I have one edition in my files which is almost completely devoted to Col. (and Sen.) .James Edmund Bailey's obituary(my great grandfather) -- and just realized other issues might be a "gold mine". Thanks for any clues/leads! Happy Thanksgiving to all. Cary

Hi I am from Australia and have had difficulty getting into the Davidson County page. Would someone who may be looking at the 1860 Census for Davidson County please be able to tell me the names, ages, occupations and birthplaces of people in this household. I do not need to know the other information on the census. V. BEAUMONT Ward 6, Davidson County, Page #40, head of household I have been studying the BEAUMONTs of Clarksville, Montgomery County, TN in order to discover their descendants to connect with Australian and New Zealand BEAUMONT descendants. I have recently been told that V BEAUMONT may also be a relation. I have a Valentine A. G. Beaumont, age 38 years, died April 7, 1881 in Navasota, Texas, on pneumonia. Semi-Weekly Tobacco Leaf, May 6, 1881, p 1. and feel that V BEAUMONT may be Valentine or Valentine's father. A head of household called V. BEAUMONT was also shown in Ward 6 in Davidson County, page #40 the 1850 census if the 1860 census is unavailable. I thought the later census would be more helpful for my purpose. The 1870 and 1880 census indexes have not been checked and so I do not know if V BEAUMONT had left Davidson County by 1880. Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi everyone: I've reached a stone wall (as most of us do in researching our ancestry) in looking for my father's ancestors. My grandfather was Ellis Eugene Richardson, his father was Murry or Murray J. (Jesse?) Richardson b 1855 d 1918 in Nashville. His wife was Eliza Jane Trotter 1861-1906. Murray's sibling were Laura Ann 1850-1925, James Franklin 1852-1900, William 1857-1884, Joseph 1860-1884, John 1864-1884, Polk Dallas 1867--1951 and Lula 1870-?. I was given the name of their father by a distant cousin as John W. Richardson 1826-1880 who married Paralee Merryman 1878-?. I have substantial information of John W's descendants but can find little about John W and Paralee. The 1850 TN census shows a John W. living in Nashville with the correct age. I can find nothing else about him. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated. Will glad share my info. Thanks, and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Ronnie Richardson

I have added several new things to the Friends of Metro Archives website. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3661/ Click on "Nashville A Hundred Years Hence" for a prediction of what Nashville would be like in 100 years. The article appeared in the "Nashville Spectator" in May of 1896. It was written during the Tennessee Centennial festivities. Check out "Nashville Facts" for some interesting tidbits of Nashville history. Debie

In answer to Debie Dock1952@aol.com, I don't think the person realized that they had to send new mail to the list and not just respond to the email that they had gotten to be unsubscribed. An honest mistake that I have made myself a few times. When I read your email, it took me a while to realize that it was a posting to the list, and not a personal email. I thought I had really messed up and wasn't sure what I had done. Some of us are still quite new and we sometimes make mistakes. Glad you realized how you got booted off the list. I probably wouldn't have figured out why I was no longer getting any messages.

When you send email to a list, PLEASE DO NOT send the contents of previous emails you have received unless it has something to do with your topic. And then you only need to send the text that is pertinent. About two weeks ago I sent an email to the list. Someone sent the text from my email to the list in an effort to end their subscription. As a result I received notification that I have been removed from the list. I followed the instructions on what to do if I did not intend to be removed but don't know if I am still on the list or not. I don't understand how I was removed as the my email address was only in the body of the email and not in the header, but it would not have been anywhere if the sender had used common sense and courtesy when sending email. If you have no idea how to send email properly, I would think your server provides some instruction. Debie

The following family was listed on the 1860 Davidson Co. Census James C. Gordon 55 KY Martha J. 41 VA Mary E. 18 Margaret E. 13 Martha L. 11 Melissa A. 7 Medorah C. 4 In 1850 they were living in Jackson Co, TN, and sons James W. 15 and John A. 13 were in the household. Could someone do a look-up on the 1870 and 1880 censuses for them? Malissia Adaline Gordon married Mills Taylor Bloodworth. They were my grandparents, but because Malissia died when my mother was only two years old, I know little about them. Would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me concerning this family. I'm also researching Bloodworth, Bruce, Dugger, Stanley, Stark, Stratton, and Watkins. Joyce CBStark@aol.com
