Hi Folks....thanks to Shirley we now have a great page of 1915 & 1922 news from Overton County, which includes snipits from the nearby counties of Fentress, Pickett and Jackson. http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnoverto/docs/1915News.htm Tami Ramsey

Thanks so much! Any Carney info is immensely appreciated. Does anyone on the list have any information about the Poor House in Fentress? Several of the Carney children were orphaned and lived at the poor house. We have names of the children, but we don't know who the parents were: Jacob Edward Carney Andy Carney Sam R. Carney William H. Carney (there may have been 2 William H's.) I see that Anna Carney named her son William Henry Viles. Maybe after a child with that name that died?? Sincere Thanks Tonya

I'm researching the Carney family from Fentress county. Since their name was misspelled so many ways, I was wondering if these two families could be one and the same. Or is this a completely different surname. Any thoughts? Sincere thanks Tonya Carney Archey http://www.wku.edu/~tonya.archey/

Hi all. I am in search of other CORCELIUS (Not sure of the spelling) researchers in Fentress Co., TN and Clinton Co., KY. I am particularly interested in an Elizabeth CORCELIUS who was born abt 1827/28 in TN. She married James M. BRANHAM abt. 1851. Their three children were born in Clinton Co., KY. Three children were born to them..... George W. BRANHAM 1853 Nancy Jane BRANHAM 1855 Frances E. BRANHAM 1859 James and Elizabeth (with their family) are located in Clinton Co. on the census records through 1870. James apparently dies between 1870 and 1880. Elizabeth appears with her son, George W. BRANHAM on the 1880 census in Clinton Co. I am hoping to learn when Elizabeth died. Elizabeth was the d/o George and Ruth CORCELIUS. Rex W. Bertram 132 S.

She will discuss her own experiences exploring her family history and her husband's, locating these families in the broader story of Tennessee and American history, including the Coal Miners Wars in East Tennessee and the Panic of 1893. The title of her talk is: "Historian Becomes a Genealogist: Putting a Face and Feelings on Facts" We look forward to seeing you. ******************************************* This past month I received the following email which I think will be of interest to our members: The Nashville Public Library is pleased to announce the acquisition of HeritageQuest Online, including remote access!
