Hi folks, Just saw this message and I'm sure it was meant to be helpful. The entries being posted here are from the micro-film and not a published book. It is a great service that Rose is doing for this list. Sometimes contributions to a list like this is annoying to some subscribers who don't care for the information and the extra work of deleting multiple posts. I believe most folks appreciate Rose's efforts. I know that these entries have not previously been published because I transcribed the two books back in 1985. I may put them on the TNGenWeb page at some point in time. Judy Henley Phillips Listowner Enrjyzr wrote: > > Please check copyright laws before posting any more of these.

Greetings everyone: As a fellow Franklin County Historical Society member who is geographically seperated big-time from home-sweet-home Franklin County, I humbly seek some help from a kind soul back in the area. I want to verify some genealogical data to enter my mom in the UDC. Her great grandfather, John Henry Ivey (1829-1908) served in the Ridgeville Guards Co. F, 4th Confederate Tennessee (also known as Co. C, 34th Tenn Inf, CSA). (1) Can someone help me find his death certificate -- Mar 16, 1908. (2) His son, Thomas M. Ivey, died (according to tradition) on May 1, 1941. He has no death certificate, I've searched. Does an obituary exist that long ago? 1941? Is there a Franklin County paper on microfilm dated back to 1941? (3) Did a UCV camp exist in Franklin County which listed John Henry Ivey? I'd like to hear from decendants of Henry Ivey. I understand Mr. Pete Holmes, Principal of South Jr. High School is also a descendant, does anyone know if he is on e-mail? Again, UDC won't accept word-of-mouth tradition, they need hard evidence, so any you can offer will be appreciated!!! Your friend, Keith Fletcher

Need ancestors and descendants of William Gale/Gayle b. ca 1800 VA, married (1) Sarah Harris 1823 Rutherford Co TN, (2) Demaris France. Was a minister in the Cumberland Co. Presbyterian Church in Franklin and Lincoln counties, TN, and in Jackson Co., AL, where he died 1873. Jean Gayle
