Nettye, I have seen that name (Rilly) before. I can't remember right now where. But, no, I have no idea who she was. I have often wondered. In looking for that today, I found another Holt that I had overlooked. Wilhelmina Holt married a Michjah Morris Mar. 1, 1804 in Davidson Co. Pam
Pam and All, Does anyone have information on Rilly E Holt who married a Pendergrass and had children John Harvery Pendergrass b 1826 Pherby L Pendergrass b 1828 Rebecca " b 1831 Martha " b 1833 Elizabeth " b 1835 Emily b 1837 Martin Van Buren b 1839 William Ensley 1841 m Cave Johnson 1843 m Sally E 1845 m Heber Meeker Nettye
Did any one inDickson know Robert Wells he died a few years back . just thught I would ask as he was my couisn . Esther
O'k, now I have a few answers . . . but SO MANY more questions. Does anyone on this list have a connection to S. J. A. Wills or Richard, as he is listed on the 1880 census. My great great Aunt Ellen Holt was his first wife. They married in 1858. She is not listed in the cemetery. He married Lotty Tatum in 1865 and I would assume that she is the Charlotte listed. She is also called Lotty on the 1880 census. Does anyone know anything about my Aunt Ellen? (I'm sure that she died and that it was most likely before he married Lotty) I would like to know if they had children and why she died so young. Any help is appreciated. Pam
Nettye, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! You realize that you have just found "your" Elizabeth Holt James' youngest sister, Ellen and husband!!!! Oh, thank you, thank you. This is without a doubt the BEST list!!!!!! Pam
Pam, I agree about the BEST list. I would be at a complete loss if it were not for the Dickson List. They have come up with the answers so many times for me. I also think the Dickson County Site has a wealth of information that we tend to forget at times. We should all take time to look over each section and rediscover all the information there.

Pam, There is a Wills Cemetery on the Dickson Cemetery List with one Wells and lots of Wills. There is a S J A Wills and wife, etc. Who knows?

Thank you for the cemetery lead. If I ever get back to Tennessee and my health permits me, I'll check it out. Pam
Does anyone know if there is a email or web address for the Dickson Co.Tn. Library? If you have them please send them to me. Billy Jones

This may not be who you are looking for, but thought I would send this. From the 1850 Dickson Co. census" Household #1028 John Wells, age 66 Feddy, age 39 Rhoda, age 30 Aaron, age 19 Caleb, age 17 SANDFORD, age 14 Epps, age 6 That would make Sandford about 22 in 1858. Could be yours! Nothing else found.
It's been a while since I sent this out, so I thought I would give it another try. April 26, 1858, in Dickson County, S. J. A. Wells married Ellen D. Holt, daughter of William N. Holt. Does anyone know who S. J. A. belonged to? . . Where he and Ellen went or anything that might have happened to them? It seems as if they married and left the planet. Any help, please!!!!! Pam
Hello List, I dont get to get on here very often but I just wanted to mention that I am going to be attending a reunion August 4, 2001. In Nashville, TN. It is a Hampton-Perry reunion. If there is anyone on the list who is going let me know. Maybe we can meet. I would love to see you. (actually the reunion wont be right in Nash., I am just not sure exactly where at this time.) Bye for now, Linda H. In OH
The East Tennessee Historical Society is unveiling a new family heritage program, Civil War Families of Tennessee. Civil War Families of Tennessee (CWFT) seeks to identify and honor the sacrifices of the valiant soldiers on both sides of the conflict. This lineage program will link current descendants with their Civil War ancestors, encourage new research, and combine the experiences of thousands of individuals and families to tell more fully the story of the Civil War in Tennessee. If you are a direct or collateral descendant of any individual who served in Tennessee during the Civil War-Union or Confederate-you are eligible for membership in CWFT. Service may have been in either a Tennessee unit or any non-Tennessee unit which was active in the state. Membership is also open through an ancestor who served elsewhere but lived in Tennessee either before, during, or after the war. In order to recognize the service of the many young men who died unwed and without children, CWFT offers membership through collateral descent also. Like its sister program, First Families of Tennessee, CWFT applications and membership files will be housed in the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection (Knoxville, Tennessee) of the Knox County Public Library System where together the two projects will provide an unparalleled resource for family and historical research in the Volunteer State. CWFT members will receive a handsome certificate with the names of the applicant and the ancestor, along with the name of the ancestor's company and regiment. A roster of the members and their ancestors will eventually be published in book form. CWFT members will also be recognized at a grand reunion to be hosted by the East Tennessee Historical Society. For additional information about the Civil War Families of Tennessee project, including a downloadable application form, please visit the ETHS web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org. Anyone unable to download a form may request an application form by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Civil War Families of Tennessee c/o ETHS PO Box 1629 Knoxville, TN 37901-1629 Additional questions about the new CWFT project may also be addressed to civilwar@east-tennessee-history.org (Please note that ETHS does not provide email-based research assistance at this time.) The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of East Tennessee. The society's programs and activities are made possible through the support of its membership. The society's First Families of Tennessee family heritage program was founded in 1992 and now includes more than 13,000 members in 50 states and eight foreign nations.
