Mollie, Good Idea..... see you can get things done while the cat (Cher) is away. The mice (that is the list) hasn't been playing to much lately. Faye Wilson Keele

Ok so far it has been apositive response to having the queries come across the list, and with it being so quiet it maybe will perk up the list some.. I have set it up to come across the list.. (Hopefully I did it right) we will see.. Mollie

Mollie, What a great idea! I subscribe to a page out of North Carolina, and all the queries come to all the subscribers. Who knows what one may find this way. I, too sometimes forget to check the query boards, so this makes it easier. Wayne McCormick Mollie H Simpson wrote: > I would like to take a poll of all the members of the Dickson Diggers List..

I agree--post the queries to the list. (I forget to look too!) Sandy Ellis

Mollies..... Please send the queries to the list also. That is a wonderful idea. Thanks, Linda in W.TN

I forget about the queries too. It would be a good thing to direct them to the list. Glenda

Set it up so it also comes to the list....that would be great.

Mollie, I like the idea very much. Be nice to see all the Queries. Joyce in MI

I think it would be nice to have the message come to us also.

Dear Sandy, I dug out Miles Thomas Ellis as the father of Noah Webster Ellis (wife of Sadie Cora McClurkan), but Debby Sullins has updated and filled in a bunch of holes for me when she was jogged by this memo (I guess). The other Ellis that I'm rabid about for the nonce is Thomas Ellis, spouse of Lucy Balthrop. I would estimate that they were born around 1775 or a little later. They were married in North Carolina, but apparently they came with her father and other members of the family to the Dickson County area of Tennessee around 1815. There is an old handwritten note in the records of her mother's will in the Dickson County courthouse from her brother Francis to her brother Willie (Wiley), serving as executor, indicating that Willie needed to provide some funds to "sister" Lucy (apparently a loan to her mother) out of the estate of her mother to pay off a claim against the estate. I show two sons, Michael T Ellis and William E Ellis, birthdates unknown/birthplaces prob NC. Other than that, I've not found "zippo" about the rest of their ancestors or descendants on the Ellis line. The Ellis line was particularly...uh...prolific in Tennessee, so hunting is difficult.

Hello Hal! Me interested?----Yes! I'm interested in any of the Ellises but particularly interested in Miles Thomas and Thomas! Do you happen to know (can you document) who Miles Thomas' parents were? I'm in the middle of something right now---getting kids ready for school---but want to hear more about your line! Sandy Ellis

Sand and Mary, I have a passle of Tennessee Ellis surnames linked to my tree., including a Miles Thomas Ellis born in July 1833. Also, a Thomas Ellis that migrated from NC to Tenn ca 1815. Any interest?

Mary, I don't know "Aunt Gracie" Ellis---but would love to know more about her! Several of us are working on the Ellises in this area to see if they are somehow related. My husband's Ellis moved from NC to Montgomery County about 1812. By 1832 he moved to Calloway Co., KY but left a brother in Montgomery County and some cousins in Robertson Co. He (Hardy) and his brother (Miles) lived very close to the Montgomery/Dickson County line so we are searching both counties (and all the surrounding counties). We suspect many of the Ellises now living in this area to be descendants of Miles Ellis. Miles and Polly Bobbitt Ellis "disappeared" after the 1841 tax list but many of the older people we have talked to have given us names and other information that makes us think their children either remained in the area or returned to it after Miles and Polly died. I'm sure several people on this list will be watching to see if you happen to know more about "Aunt Gracie's" Ellis line or how we might contact someone in the family that could tell us about it! Sandy Ellis

Sandy... I see your last name is Ellis. I have family with that last name. I have an Aunt Gracie Ellis. She has a couple of daughters. I met Janice,Joyce and Beverly. Any relation to you?? mary

Linda,, since I am unfamiliar with the area I aant tell you which of the two to search.. I know he signed up for service in Savannah... But I gues that Bolivar is where the Courthouse would be if he lived in Hardeman if the letters are correct. Mabyt that is where I should lok for a marraige or death on either Jeremiah V.Mitchell and /or his wife Mary.. I was told that her last name was Jarrett. tho I am not sure this is correct.. Thanks for any suggestion and addresses and all.. Lenora
