Martha Ann (my great grandmother) married a Tom (?) Flood but we cannot find family in TN Census Records. They had James Matthew Flood born 1868, Mary E. 1870 (my Granny) and William D. born 1873, all born in TN. In 1878 she married James M. Hood and several more children. We have not found death certificate nor where she was buried after dying at "Granny's home in DeKalb Co., AL. Someone came to Granny's and told her Martha Ann's body was being removed from Fairview Meth. Church Cemetry which broke her heart...she cried. If they hadf not done this she would have a nice grave marker as both my Grandparents have.Peter her brother married Susanna Cummings, Louisa (Lou), sister married Russell Cassidy Hood.Will review my records and keep in touch but this is busy week as we are to leave on 10 day trip. Thank you so much.

Leo J. Donahue and Anne Moore married May 25, 1948. On May 14, 1948, Leo Donahue withdrew $1,000 from his savings account at the Charlestown [MA] Five Cent Savings Bank (passbook). He would have had to fly to Nashville to be at the Hermitage Hotel on May 16. Leo stayed May 16-18 at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville at $3.50/night (receipt) but later went to the Sam Davis which probably was less exspensive. He received a telegram care of the Sam Davis Hotel on the May 24 confirming a reservation at the Claridge Hotel in Memphis (telegram). On May 21, Anne Moore had her required blood test done at Nelson-Robinson-Sayers Clinic on 7th Ave. in Nashville ($3.00, receipt) On May 25 they shipped Anne's stuff to Charlestown, MA via Railway Express (receipt), from Anne Moore, McGannon Hall [a YWCA-affiliated boarding house] to Leo J. Donahue, 9 Franklin Street, Charlestown, MA [his parents' address]. That day Leo and Anne married in the pastor's office at First Baptist Church in Nashville. They then took Dixie Greyhound to Memphis (stubs) and spent five nights (May 25-29) at the Claridge Hotel at $11.00/night (receipt, postcard). They had to pay an extra $1 for a radio in the room. [I always knew that mother had been to the zoo in Memphis but I never knew when.] On the 29th they took Dixie Greyhound to Parsons (stubs). [I have a few photos of my parents in Parsons at the Kentucky Avenue house where my grandparents moved in 1941. I have long thought that those photographs were made on a May 1948 visit.] They returned to Nashville on Dixie Greyhound (stubs). On June 2, they flew from Nashville to Boston on American Airlines (ticket carbons). They had to pay $5.69 for 20 pounds of excess baggage (receipt). They spent June3-8 at the Bradford Hotel in Boston ($6/night, receipt). On June 8, 1948 Leo deposited $510.50 into his savings account at Charlestown Five Cent Savings Bank (passbook). -------------------------------------------------------------- After 14 months since my father's death I am finally beginning to deal with my parents files and everything they saved (like monthly checking account statements in sheet protectors!). Granted that without the receipts for the wedding trip and the ticket stubs I would never have known about my parents wedding trip, but I cannot imagine saving stuff like this, especially the bus stubs. My dad had the family papers for mother's family so I inserted the receipts and stubs into a sheet protector and inserted the sheet into a notebook dad had made on my mother. Yesterday I also found that my dad had my mother's 1940 Decatur County High School annual. I knew that there had been a high school annual because I have the original of mother's annual photo. But I never knew that mother actually had a copy of the annual itself. She never mentioned it, even when I asked her about her school days. She told me Newman Ivey was the handsomest boy in her class but never offered to show me his photograph. (It is actually mother's copy of the annual and not another copy dad obtained; mother wrote her name Anna Moore at the top of the front page.) I think that mother sanitized the annual at some point before she died (1997). Her sister's 1943 annual printed with the same layout and by the same company had plastic post screws. At the end were signature pages to collect parting statements and best wishes from friends. The plastic post screws broke when I tried to take it apart to scan the senior photo page and I had to replace the screws with new aluminum ones. Mother's 1940 annual is missing the signature pages and has aluminum post screws. This morning I found mother's valedictorian address in the drawer with the 1948-2002 tax files. Although they both later owned Brownies, I think that neither had a camera in 1948. There are no photos of their wedding or of Memphis. There are photos probably taken at that time in Parsons, and there are photos which could have been taken at that time in the yard of McGannon Hall. In either case someone else probably made the photographs. I wish I could visit Boston now for $6/night.. David Donahue

Does anyone have any information on Jesse Garrett (born 1802 in NC, died 1880 in Perry County). Jesse and Frances Garrett (probably his mother, born 1768 in NC, died after 1850 in Perry County) were in Humphreys County prior to 1820 and appear in the 1820 and 1830 Humphreys County census. Jesse purchased land in Perry County in 1836. He and his first wife (name unknown) had a son, James Garrett, born in 1845 in Perry County. Jesse married Margaret Ann Dickson (1817-1864) in 1850 they had 3 children (Robert, 1851; Nancy, 1854; and Martha, 1856). James Garrett married Martha Ledbetter in 1866, they had 12 children. The next generation seems to have largely moved away from Perry County. Thanks for any information you might have, David Garrett

See http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/terms.htm for some land explanations. It shows the following: Congressional Reservation An area in south west Middle Tennessee and the land of West Tennessee, set aside by the U. S. Congress for the use of the Chickasaw Indians. This area was purchased from the Chickasaw people in 1818. Continental Line In Tennessee land records it means the same as Military Line or boundary of the Military Reservation.

Hi folks, Hoping that someone on this list has viewed microfilm of any Tennessee Land Grant, either on microfilm from Mormon FHL or at Tennessee State Library and can help me. Using below as example and then my question. West Tenn, district grants, v. 3 1846 -FHL US/CAN Film {1013339} One of my ancestors, Thomas HAY of Decatur Co. TN, received a TN land grant of 313 acres in 1846. The grant was recorded in West TN district, bk 3, p 292, grant # 2132 MY QUESTION: Is " bk 3 " the same thing as " v.3 " of FHL microfilm? As a less costly option instead of ordering copy of land grant from TN State Library & Archives, I thought I would order the microfilm from Mormon FHL for $3.75 versus the $10 it costs to request copy of land grant from TN State Library. Also, if someone knows what the "Congressional Reservations line" was, would greatly appreciate an explanation (see below). Thank you. Linda, So. CA West Tennessee Land Grants. Purchase grants based on an act of Congress authorizing Tennessee to perfect titles to vacant unappropriated lands south and west of the Congressional Reservations line, entered through county land offices at $0.125 per acre for land in the Western District, west of the Tennessee River, see Acts of Tennessee, 1841, Ch. 7 and 1842, Ch. 34.

Just a thought...I remember being told that back in those days if you had any Native American blood in you, you were not allowed to be buried inside the cemetary proper but could be buried outside the fence. This from an Autry that has his greatgrandmother buried outside the fence. If there was Baker cem. at that time seems funny she would be buried in a field. Rachel is also my Ancestor. Again the old mystery of "if James Akin ( her grandson) was the "Indian" that raised my greatgrandmother and his father Lot Akin was not Native American but Scots/Irish then it goes back to his mother Winney who is daughter of Rachel Harriet Petty Fields Baker Malugin. It would be interesting to "prove" this theory someday. Fran West Rockford, MI
