CHARLENE, just thought of another source that might help you, besides the census. This source is of no use to researchers whose ancestors lived outside of towns. It has maps of Nashville with ALL streets defined inside Nashville and probably indexed. IT WAS THE SANBORN MAP CO. There was an Insurance Company that insured buildings WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS of towns and within large cities all across the country. Don't have exact dates of the maps, something like late 1800s up thru 1930s. Of course large cities were done but surprising that even smaller towns too, some quite small. (example: I found a map of a town of just 3000 population in 1905). It was the SANBORN MAP COMPANY out of N. Y. All of their maps that survived, for the entire U. S.(some 700,000) are now at the Geography and Map Div, Library of Congress.Very expensive to go thru the Library of Congress so try and use a more local source. There is a book pub 1981 introduction by Walter W. Ristow titled Fire Insurance Maps in the Lib. of Congress: Plans of North American Cities and Towns Produced by the Sanborn Map Company, on page 598 is description of what years these Sanborn maps are available for Murfreesboro AND NASHVILLE.The Middle Tennessee State LIbrary at Murfreesboro had this book back in 1992. In Tennessee, these maps were then housed at the Library of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Tn. 37916. (May be elsewhere as well ). Contact them and ask if they have the Sanborn Maps for Nashville for the approximate years you want and get a full description of each microfilm roll. Ask if they will do an interlibrary loan of this microfilm? In Texas where I live, these maps (just for Texas) are housed at the 'Special Collections' section of MANY college libraries across the state.These collections will have most of the Sanborn Maps for the towns and cities in Texas but not all years I usually go in to use the maps (make copies from microfilm), on Saturdays when there are fewer college kids on campus. WHAT YOU MIGHT GET FOR YOUR TROUBLE: They did maps SHOWING EACH STREET within the town or city, almost every year. These maps are great even tho they didn't list each property owner's name...they did show EVERY SINGLE STREET that existed that year, within a town/city. On each street, they depicted EACH BLOCK WITH CROSS STREETS. Within each city block, they drew a DIAGRAM OF EACH LOT...LAST, they drew AN OUTLINE OF SHAPE OF EACH BUILDING ERECTED ON EACH LOT INCLUDING EVEN OUTBUILDINGS.. In the downtown areas they would name some landmarks on the streets like churches etc, but as I said, property owners names not listed. For example: I was able to find the house my folks owned which was built 1907 in Sherman Texas (small town then 10,000 population). I found on the 1906 map that only the lot was there (no buildings). The 1907 map depicted accurately the shape of the lot, the outline of their house (on the lot) and the outline of the workshop and garage at rear of house. The outlines would be as from a 'bird's eye view' looking down. Hope this helps. Joyce

It is entirely > possible they were living under another head of household name. CHARLENE. I am wondering if you used the SEPARATE soundex to 1910 census of Tennessee? This separate soundex ONLY listed citizens who lived WITHIN the city limits of Nashville (Chattanooga and other large cities). This soundex is T1276 and begins roll 112 thru 142. (The most commonly used soundex is for citizens who lived in the state of Tennessee but not inside those large cities, and it is T1276 roll 1-111). Assuming you used the correct soundex for 1910, here are some other tips: There are GUIDES on microfilm, to the enumeration districts (called ED's) for 1910 census. These guides are by state, then by county - this microfilm accompanies the 1910 and 1920 census (1900 too I think). Using the guide to the ED's within Davidson Co, Tn for 1910, would provide a description of the outer limits of each census taker's district (each ED within the county)...so you would get the roll just for Davidson County, then scroll within the county to just the town of Nashville. In describing the boundaries of each enumeration district within the city, they used streets as dividing lines and often refer to many other streets within each enumeration district ...therefore I hope you use this microfilm. Here is the roll you'd need: FOR 1910 the one you need is: microfilm T1224 (series number) CENSUS ENUMERATION DISTRICT DESCRIPTIONS ROLL 38 has on it: Rhode Island, S. C., S. D AND TENNESSEE For 1920 LIKEWISE, 1920 census has same thing as above (Census ED descriptions for entire U. S., one of them for just Tennessee-on microfilm), but I don't happen to have the microfilm number on hand for 1920. IN ADDITION, the 1920 census has some MAPS available which show the boundary of each enumeration district (must be ordered from Natl Archives in DC-takes 2-3 months, cost? about $2 I think + postage). I recall they do not have a map for every every state (showing each county or town)...just some. You have to be lucky. In this case, you are! There is a map available for Davidson Co...but BETTER, there is another map showing description of each census taker's district within the City of NASHVILLE. I haven't seen these maps, just telling you what is available according to Natl Archives descriptions. I'm told that a description of all the census from 1790 to 1920 including soundex for 1880-1920 (such as I've mentioned above) is now on internet at the National Archives home page.Previously this description was in book (catalog) format and the Natl Archives used 4 books: 1790-1890, 1900, 1910 and 1920. Before ordering a map, you should check internet first to see cost.You might try www.nara.gov/genealogy/genindex.html or just www.nara then scroll to genealogy, try to find catalogs that list all the microfilm available for just the 1910 (T624) and 1920 census (T625) and soundex for each. They call it "A catalog of microfilm copies of the schedules" (census and soundex). Description of the "Census Enumeration Dist Descriptions " is always at the very first page or two of each book (catalog). In 1910, it is on page vii. Good luck, Joyce

Unfortunately, both of these must be used on site, so you would have to drive here. I don't know if faxing the info to you is a possibility or not. You can get the phone number for MTSU Reference Dept by calling (615) 898-2300. The number for the State Archives is (615) 741-2764. (That's the Geneaology Department.) In reference to the local marriage and death records, there is a site that has been established through the Nashville Public Library and is maintained by the library's archives dept. There are plans to make it accessible via the web, but the technology isn't completely in place yet. If I understand correctly, these records can be copied and faxed to you. (I believe there's a fee involved, but it's nothing compared to the time you'll save!) They may also have the DAR info you're looking for; if not, they can give you the address and phone number of someone who will. Hope this helps.

Hello fellow TN Rooters Can anyone out there advise me? I am wondering whether or not there are indexes to the 1910 and 1920 Nashville, Davidson, TN censuses by street? I have a street address for both years but the family was not found in the Soundex files, so I want to get in the reels with the exact street and hunt for them that way. It is entirely possible they were living under another head of household name. Another question. For the time frame of 1900-1950 or so, are there card files of obituaries and marriage announcements in a historical society or some other kind of local repository? And finally, does anyone know what the name of the TNSDAR chapter for Nashville, Davidson, TN is? I have evidence that the family that I am researching were active in the DAR locally, and I want to look for the membership records. Thank you very much for your help.

BRYANT/HENDRSON I am seeking information on HUGH BRYANT, the father of my great-great grandmother, ALFRETA BRYANT (29 Feb 1864-1955). She was born in Georgia (maybe Campbell County....now part of Fulton County). Her mother was MARTHA ELIZABETH HENDERSON (born c. 1846, probably in MACON Co, GA), the daughter of SAM HENDERSON (born about 1814, Macon Co, GA) & wife MARY STUART (born c.1820, prob Macon Co, GA). The HENDERSON children were: Sarah (born c.1837) Malissa J. (born c.1841) James f. (born c.1844) Martha Elizabeth (born c. 1846) Mary Frances (born c. 1848) Charles (born c. 1853) William (born c. 1856) Noah (born c. 1857) Samuel Henderson and his family appear in both the 1850 and 1860 Campbell County, GA census records. The family legend is that HUGH BRYANT lived on a farm in North Georgia (Campbell County?) with his mother. He married "LIZZIE HENDERSON" and they had at least three children: CHARLES BRYANT (born c. 1863, GA - died 23 June 1931, Nashville) ALFRETA BRYANT (born 29 Feb 1864, GA- died 12 May 1955, Dickson, TN) ELIZABETH ("LIZZIE" or maybe "LOU") BRYANT (b May 1870, Nashville, TN- d. unknown). In the Spring of 1864, a HENDERSON family relative (likely a brother of SAMUEL HENDERSON) got permission to pass through the lines of the Union Army in North Georgia and evacuate some members of the family ahead of Sherman's Army and take them to Nashville, TN, including ALFRETA and her Mother MARY ELIZABETH HENDERSON. Likely other members of the family left at this time also or just after the Battle of Atlanta in July 1864 when Sherman ordered the forced removal of all civilians from Atlanta. The Conderate Army did not cooperate with this evacuation and the family was only able to return to TN by avoiding their lines. At about this same time, the Confederate Army burned the farm of SAMUEL HENDERSON in order to clear their lines of fire against the expected approach of the Union Army. HUGH BRYANT is said to have been in the Confederate Army and to have later either left the Army or at the end of hostilities joined his family in Nashville. According to the family story he died however as a young man of the results of his service (wounds?...disease?) in Nashville, TN. MARY ELIZABETH HENDERSON is not known to have remarried but lived for many years in Nashvbille, TN thereafter and was buried in MT OLIVET Cemetery, Nashville, TN after she died. Alfreta Bryant is known to have grown up in the home of her HENDERSON family relatives in Nashville, TN. She was nicknamed "Mink" because she was an active child. She was educated by a neighborhood woman who was a retired teacher who taught the local children out of her home. She learned to read from newspaper clippings because they had no books. The 1870 TN census for Nashville lists MARY (STUART) HENDERSON, married, age 53, a native of Georgia keeping house with the following persons in her household: Lizzie, age 20 Susan, age 12 Charlie, age 15 Noah, age 19 Mink, age 7 Lizzie, age 1 month, a native of TN Any information you might have would be greatly appreciated.
