From what I found, the funeral was handled by Forest Lawn Funeral Home, 1150 South Dickerson Road, Goodlettsville, TN 37072 615-859-5279 There wasn't an obituary online at the funeral home's site. I have problems sending links, but if you google: ronald rice 2011 TN forest lawn, you get several hits, but none that you can get an obit because it's been too long, but you might call the funeral home.

Ken, thank you SO much for this link and information. We walked all over Fort Morgan looking for the plaque and were surprised that the park ranger knew nothing about it. I had come to believe that was just something the author heard and included in the book. I'm glad to know it was indeed there at one time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Message: 1 > Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:19:40 -0400 > From: "Ken Dunlap" <kdunlap59@comcast.net> > Subject: Re: [TNDAVIDS] TNDAVIDS Digest, Vol 7, Issue 14 > To: <tndavids@rootsweb.com> > Message-ID: <9B3462AE67A04772B3B1FA556D0BA89C@Main> > Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; > reply-type=original > > I ran across a 2009 story regarding the plaque to Prince Madoc at Ft.

Thanks for posting this, I have studied/researched the Melungeons for many years and this is of extreme interest to me. In one of the many books I read on the Melungeons, it gave the following story: A Welsh prince named Madoc supposedly sailed to the US in 1170, over 300 years before Columbus, and left ships full of Welsh settlers at Ft. Morgan on Mobile Bay in Alabama. It stated the DAR erected a plaque to Madoc at Ft. Morgan years ago. My husband and I went to Ft. Morgan, walked the grounds without locating the plaque, talked to the park ranger and he stated he had been there 15 years and never had seen the plaque. Some of the books, I think written by Dr. Kennedy who descended from these supposedly Welsh people, stated they traveled from the Ft. Morgan area into the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and Virginia where they settled and where many of them still live today. The new research is indeed going to upset the apple cart for many researchers. > Message: 1 > Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 07:52:44 -0700 (PDT) > From: Sammie jean gregory Fairchild <looking4myfamily@ymail.com> > > NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For years, varied and sometimes wild claims have been made about the origins of a group of dark-skinned Appalachian residents once known derisively as the Melungeons.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For years, varied and sometimes wild claims have been made about the origins of a group of dark-skinned Appalachian residents once known derisively as the Melungeons. Some speculated they were descended from Portuguese explorers, or perhaps from Turkish slaves or Gypsies. Now a new DNA study in the Journal of Genetic Genealogy attempts to separate truth from oral tradition and wishful thinking. The study found the truth to be somewhat less exotic: Genetic evidence shows that the families historically called Melungeons are the offspring of sub-Saharan African men and white women of northern or central European origin. And that report, which was published in April in the peer-reviewed journal, doesn't sit comfortably with some people who claim Melungeon ancestry. "There were a whole lot of people upset by this study," lead researcher Roberta Estes said. "They just knew they were Portuguese, or Native American." Beginning in the early 1800s, or possibly before, the term Melungeon (meh-LUN'-jun) was applied as a slur to a group of about 40 families along the Tennessee-Virginia border. But it has since become a catch-all phrase for a number of groups of mysterious mixed-race ancestry. In recent decades, interest in the origin of the Melungeons has risen dramatically with advances both in DNA research and in the advent of Internet resources that allow individuals to trace their ancestry without digging through dusty archives. G. Reginald Daniel, a sociologist at the University of California-Santa Barbara who's spent more than 30 years examining multiracial people in the U.S. and wasn't part of this research, said the study is more evidence that race-mixing in the U.S. isn't a new phenomenon. "All of us are multiracial," he said. "It is recapturing a more authentic U.S. history." Estes and her fellow researchers theorize that the various Melungeon lines may have sprung from the unions of black and white indentured servants living in Virginia in the mid-1600s, before slavery. They conclude that as laws were put in place to penalize the mixing of races, the various family groups could only intermarry with each other, even migrating together from Virginia through the Carolinas before settling primarily in the mountains of East Tennessee. Claims of Portuguese ancestry likely were a ruse they used in order to remain free and retain other privileges that came with being considered white, according to the study's authors. The study quotes from an 1874 court case in Tennessee in which a Melungeon woman's inheritance was challenged. If Martha Simmerman were found to have African blood, she would lose the inheritance. Her attorney, Lewis Shepherd, argued successfully that the Simmerman's family was descended from ancient Phoenicians who eventually migrated to Portugal and then to North America.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For years, varied and sometimes wild claims have been made about the origins of a group of dark-skinned Appalachian residents once known derisively as the Melungeons. Some speculated they were descended from Portuguese explorers, or perhaps from Turkish slaves or Gypsies. Now a new DNA study in the Journal of Genetic Genealogy attempts to separate truth from oral tradition and wishful thinking. The study found the truth to be somewhat less exotic: Genetic evidence shows that the families historically called Melungeons are the offspring of sub-Saharan African men and white women of northern or central European origin. And that report, which was published in April in the peer-reviewed journal, doesn't sit comfortably with some people who claim Melungeon ancestry. "There were a whole lot of people upset by this study," lead researcher Roberta Estes said. "They just knew they were Portuguese, or Native American." Beginning in the early 1800s, or possibly before, the term Melungeon (meh-LUN'-jun) was applied as a slur to a group of about 40 families along the Tennessee-Virginia border.

I looked her up in the Nashville Public Library's Obituary Index and her obituary appeared in the September 20,2001 issue of the Tennessean newspaper on page B7. You can follow the directions on their website at http://www.library.nashville.org/localhistory/his_spcoll_gen_obituaries.asp to order the obit -- it may list the cemetery she is buried at. -- Taneya Y.

You might try dropping the s on the end of the surname. Here's a findagrave memorial for their son <http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=54990662&>http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=54990662& It's spelled Eubank.

Looking for final resting place for the above. She was born on 11/07/1905 in White County, TN and died 09/15/2001 in Davidson County, TN. She was married to William P. Eubanks. I can not seem to find an obit or cemetery for her. Robie Merritt Loriaux Roberts wyldpanda@aol.com

Dear Friends of Buchanan Station Cemetery, The inaugural meeting of the Friends of Buchanan Station Cemetery will be held on Saturday, March 17, at 10:30 a.m. at the Buchanan Log House (http://www.buchananloghouse.com/), which is located 3.5 miles farther out Elm Hill Pike than Buchanan Station. We hope you will mark your calendars and plan to attend. You don't need to bring your checkbooks to this meeting. Needed now are voices of support, ideas, and organizational skills. You've heard of "getting in on the ground floor." Well, this is it! Attached is one of the more important and coherent accounts of the Battle of Buchanan Station that we have sent you thus far. This one is full of interesting items, including these two: 1. The article speaks of Major John Buchanan's Bible, in which family records where written. WHERE IS THIS BIBLE TODAY? In the hands of a Buchanan descendant? 2. The article speaks of a sketch or drawing of the layout of Buchanan Station itself. WHERE IS THIS DRAWING? Among the papers of the Tennessee Historical Society? We have a lot of work to do. Take Care, Mike Nashville Historical Newsletter 293-3832

Hi Janet, There are some early school catalogues available on the website of the Eskind Biomedical Library Special Collections website at - http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/diglib/sc_coll_detail.html?subset=7&collID=1614. The 1901 catalog has a good image of it - 5th and Elm was the site of the medical department until 1911 so this is what it would have looked like in 1909. Hope this helps! Disclaimer - I work at the the Eskind Biomedical Library :-) and my colleague provided this info. -- Taneya Y.

You might call the Tennessee State Library and Archives. If it does, they'd probably have it. -----Original Message----- From: tndavids-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tndavids-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of pastfinder Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 8:20 AM To: TNDAVIDS@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNDAVIDS] Medical School at Vanderbilt in Nashville TN I am looking for a picture of the front of the medical school at Vanderbilt University in 1909.

I am looking for a picture of the front of the medical school at Vanderbilt University in 1909. Does anyone know if one exist? Janet
