Remember that the Decatur Co list is still a list which discusses all 3 counties. Due to the movement patterns of our ancestors and the county line changes, one could be listed at some time in all 3 and not even move or at least not much of a move <VBG> Renea Burkholder [email protected] TNGenWeb Decatur Co., TN http://www.netease.net/decatur/ TNGenWeb Perry Co., TN http://www.netease.net/perry/ ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 2:17 PM Subject: [TNDECATU] 1870 Henderson County Census > I know this isn't the Henderson County mail list, but I was wondering if > anyone has the 1870 Henderson County census to look up an entry for me?
