Thanks Nancy, I checked White Co. for a marriage record for him but there was nothing. I found him on the 1880 White Co. census with his wife Belzara J and two small children. I am actually looking for the Belzara J. I have lost this family member who would have been this ones age and her family was from White and DeKalb Counties. The Belzara J. I am looking for was the daughter of Jonathan W. and Sarah Hastons Blankenship. After the 1860 White Co. census I can find nothing of her except this name appearing as the wife of Brandon Sprowles in 1880. Belzara J. was such unusual name I thought this was probably her but wanted a marriage record to confirm or deny. I have also check for Bell and Sarah Blankenship and still nothing. I will do some checking in Warren, VanBuren, and Putnam. Thanks again for your help, Pattie
Do you have that John Martin and Catherine Cantrell had a daughter Jemima? who married a Linder?
Paul Vance: I am descended from John Martin & his wife Catharine Cantrell Martin thru their daughter Tellitha Martin Walker. You can reach me at [email protected] May we share information?
Thank You.......It would of been a little earlier than that..............Do you have a Gabriel Cantrell and Nancy Smith around 1824?......I can't seem to locate any of these people where they got married.....Thanks again
Looking for the marriage of a Peter Cantrell and Elizabeth Cantrell..DeKalb County or Warren County......Thanks
Something I never thought about before but sometimes there will be marriages listed because a license was bought. Such was apparently the case of George W. Clouse and Jane Fowler. According to information I received from a Clouse relative the license was taken out but the marriage did not take place.

There is no one by that surname either in the groom or bride section. Be sure you look at surrounding counties. I wasted 40 years trying to locate the marriage license of my great grandparents who married during the Civil War and just assumed there was no record. A wonderful genealogist friend who lives near DeKalb County found their marriage license in the next county over (Smith County). Good Luck!!! Nancy (Crook) Stewart
What was John Martin's wife last name?
Does anyone have a marriage book for DeKalb Co. and wouldn't mind doing a lookup for me. I am looking for Brandon Sprowles/Sprawles who would have married between 1870 and 1880. I would appreciate your help. Pattie

Would anyone be able to do a lookup in the 1850 DeKalb Co. census for John Martin in his 80's. He was listed as being 94 in 1860. His son, John jr. would be about 48 in this census. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Paul R.L. Vance

Dear List Members, Here it is the first of July and I am late in sending you the Second Quarterly Report. I was in Maryland and Delaware enjoying three of my children their spouses and five of my grandchildren for the 4th of July. Due to the lateness of this report I am not going to send the individual numbers of members for each of the lists I take care of. It is an all day job. If any of you really want to know how many are on your list, just e-mail me at [email protected] and ask. Be sure and let me know what list you are asking about. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to [email protected] not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says "Thank you and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Mary". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. I know there are exceptions to most rules including this one. If you have a doubt ask me. [email protected] 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting, something I have done or not done. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at [email protected] or in the evenings at [email protected] Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at [email protected] I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom [email protected]

Hello Everyone, Just so no one is offended by my P.S. Right before the font goes cockeyed I had inserted "big smile" between <>. It appears as though in the translation to the list this was interpreted as a command to change font size and bold. That is exacerbated further possibly in this message. Since I had copied from a Word Document with some formatting lost to the list, I guess there was something underlying there which I didn't know about (Ahh .. still lamenting loss of the F5 -- Reveal Codes feature of Word Perfect).

To my Whaley/DeKalb Co cousins: In going through some family papers I found a a very interesting published copy of a 1850 letter of Thomas R. Whaley, then a merchant in Mt. Vernon, Lawrence Co MO to his siblings in McMinneville (Liberty??) DeKalb Co. It was published on page 8, The Lawrence County Historical Society Bulletin - Jan/1978. Thomas R. Whaley was the son of Elijah Whaley, and nephew of my 3 g grandfather Seth Whaley, b. 1804, (wife Eliz. Richards Bowen), who with Elijah were sons of Thomas Whaley and Margaret Bratton, early settlers from Worcestor Co MD to Liberty area now in DeKalb Co TN. At the time the letter was written, Thomas R. is the only Whaley in Lawrence Co 1850 Census. Within the next 2/3 years his efforts to "sell" SW Missouri to his family met with success and he was joined at least by his uncle Seth Whaley and all of his children and their families, including daughter Mary Bowen Whaley and husband William Washington GAY, merchant/schoolteacher of Liberty TN (and my 2 g grandparents). Incidentally, William Gay about 1859 went into business (general store type operation) with a John ALLEN, who was possibly Gay's deputy court clerk in the preceding few years. Later business directories of Lawrence Co, indicate at least some of the Allens there were from DeKalb Co. (See pages 12, 13, patrons of the 1879 county Atlas/Plat book -- you can also locate on a map our Whaleys there, but using the index: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~judysstuff/lawatlas.htm) At the end of the letter he urges his brothers in DeKalb to join him in Missouri. By my reckoning from the info I have from Lynne Graham on Thomas R.'s descendants, at least his brothers Lemuel Bratton, Isaac, and Seth Madison did move there, possibly with uncle Seth and the Gays. Brothers William, John and sister Matilda Beckwith appear to have remained in DeKalb. Does anyone know with whom from DeKalb Co Thomas R. Whaley travelled to Lawrence Co Missouri in the first place before being joined by brothers and uncle and the Gays? Bible records for Elijah Whaley, father of Thomas R, and can be found at the DeKalb Co website: http://www.tngenweb.org/dekalb/biblwhaley.htm FYI, there is also a Bible record there for Thomas R. Whaley himself: http://www.tngenweb.org/dekalb/biblklwhaley.htm And, for James Beckwith's family: http://www.tngenweb.org/dekalb/biblbeckwith.htm Here is what is in the Lawrence Co Chieftain. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I am assuming that a yoak is composed of two oxen?? Anyone out there have possession of the gold he sent to Elijah? "Eighteen-Fifty Letter From Thomas R.
