Cher, We know the past 1-1/2 years have been rough for you and understand your need to "change scenes". (I hope you have that map marked so you will always know you have a friend nearby no matter where your travels take you!) Take care, have fun, and we will keep the light on for you! Mollie, Congratulations! We know you will continue to do good things for the Dickson list and web site. You have done a wonderful job taking care of things for Cher during her difficult times--and your own trying times. Since Cher always had little names for people, may I suggest your first "official" act as listowner might be to give Cher the "official" title of List Mama since she "conceived" the list! Of course, you will have to retire the "meanlittleassistant", too! Good luck---both of you!! Sandy Ellis

You know how I adore and miss my Dad, Kenneth Adams.... This adjustment is very difficult..some days are better than others. Many of you are now or have gone through this... I know we all will sooner or later. I wish it wasnt so, but it is. It was a terrible year for changes...shocking realities ~~.... Dad was diagnosed with a terribly cruel cancer and my loss of him near Christmas has taken its toll on me... ~~ .two moves during this critical time....... ..the loss of our Toby...selling our personal property ( including all the things he and I had saved to use with our dream log home)......the death of my dear Uncle JO in March (we were living with him and Aunt Jean). Mom, Dad and I were very close... dearest friends..life companions... Now to be alone is hard.... some days I flounder... most of the time I am ok.... It all has just been too much. So, I am taking a sabbatical. I have bought an RV and am going to do some extended traveling. Some of it with Aunt Jean (as she loves to travel and is bereaved too) and some of it alone.... So for a time I am going to 'ramble'....visit some of you... and just relax... reinvent normal, home and myself. Most of you have known me since I created these lists and our Dickson Web site . Is it 4 or 5 years now..?.I have lost count....<g> With the help of you Digger Volunteers, the Dickson web site has grown and become a powerful resource for Dickson research information. It is loaded with quality information that is dependable. Give Mollie all of the support you have given me and the lists and the website will continue to flourish! Mollie has been a wonderful assistant and she loves Dickson County as much as I do. She is knowledgeable and dependable. But most importantly, because she and I share the same vision for the lists, and web page... I have asked her to assume my position of owner of the lists and accept the position of County Coordinator to our TnDickson web site. I am sure she will bring new life to the lists and start adding new material to the web site... Her wit and energy will be a great asset to all of you! . I expect that with Mollie's direction you Volunteers will come out of the woodwork again to provide her with information and to transcribe data for her to upload. You Diggers know how I love to work the list, do lookups and have our marathons... I just don't have it in me right now... and Mollie does. She will do a wonderful job and I will be lurking when I can. But she is the authority. She is the person to turn to when assistance is needed and she is the lady to send your web information to to be uploaded. Mollie is the new lists owner and County Coordinator for TnDickson GenWeb page. Mollie, Thank you. I know the lists and the web site will just get better and better! Thanks for your affection and friendships! 'I ain't gone...just takin' a break!"<VBG> Chief Digger, Cher

Dear Dickson Diggers, The Capt. W. H. McCauley Chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 260 in Dickson County Tennessee is currently searching for the graves of Confederate soldiers buried in the county. This information will be compiled in book form & donated to the Dickson County Library's Genealogy room for research upon completion. If you know of a Confederate grave in your local cemetery please contact me at sharpp@mindspring.com or for more information please contact Commander John Choate at (615) 789- 5253. Please visit Camp 260's website at http://scvcamp260.50megs.com. Thank you for your time! Sincerely, Bryan Sharp aka Squirrel SCV Camp 260 Dickson County, TN

Nettye, Thank you! I've seen the children in different places, but didn't know who they belonged to.

Okay, my ggg-grandfather Isaiah Trump was on the West Point when it collided with the George Peabody near Ragged Point on the Potomac---13 Aug 1862. (Does anyone know if the bodies were recovered and given a proper burial? Is there some monument to the 73 people who lost their lives? Any information would be greatly appreciated!) Isaiah Trump married "Esther Reitzel" on 14 Dec 1856---she is refered to as "Hester" on everything except the marriage certificate. Their daughter, Clara "Ann" is my gg-grandmother that married Theodore Baxter Hayes. (The name on her tombstone says "Clara Alice"---mother's affidavit says "Clara Ann".) Clara was 4 years old and Michael was 14 months old when their mother applied for the $8 monthly pension. (They probably didn't know any more about their father than I now know.) Now, to read the Hardy Ellis file----there isn't a lot of information but I now know that he married Martha Dennis Trotter in Montgomery County---in 1815. "Dennis" is apparently a middle name. Martha stated neither had been married before. Sandy Ellis

Congratulations!!! I am so glad that you got it. Tonja

Nettye, do you know what became of John Harvey Pendergrass? Other than being mentioned in his father's will in 1852, I find nothing of him anywhere else.

I am sooo envious that you have found more clues:))))

Their children: Daniel John who married Rebecca Martha A Mary S Silas E married Parnetta Rainey 23 Nov 1879. HE died 1939. Elizabeth J Elizor A This is from The Brown Family Vol 1 by Tony E England.
