Jere Cox and Eddy Clark brought us "Gibson County Illustrated" which is an invaluable source for researching the county. They scanned and placed the pages on the Gibson Co. web site. What I have in mind (with their permission) is to transcribe the pages and have them on the Gibson County TN web site also. The reasoning behind this is to have the entire book "searchable" with one of the search engines on the page. Presently they are in .jpg image format which cannot be searched. The transcription will not only make searching a snap but also the transcribed pages will load faster. I'll incorporate the photos into the transcribed text, too and perhaps even create a photo index. So I'm looking for volunteers to transcribe pages of "Gibson County Illustrated". You'll be transcribing from the .jpg images already on the page. The transcriptions will be done in Wordpad in plain text format, sent to me and I'll make the web page. Please email me privately and let me know which pages you would like to transcribe. I already transcribed page 3 and you can view it at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tngibson/Illustrated/page3.htm I'll keep track of the volunteers and which pages they are working on and start a special page with the volunteer listed and which pages they are doing so we won't get any duplication. Just another way to make our Gibson pages the BEST! Thank you everyone! Volunteers????????? Email me: Tngibson@worldnet.att.net Vicki Gibson CO. TN CC

The following are from the book,"The UnCivil War: Union Army and Navy Excesses in the Official Records" by Thomas Bland Keys. Secession Corpse Colonel George W. Deitzler, First Kansas Infantry, commanding Second Brigade, First Division, Central Army of the Mississippi, at Trenton, Tennessee, eighty miles northeast of Memphis, on June 26,1862, wrote to Brigadier General Isaac F. Quinby, District of the Mississippi, Columbus, Kentucky: The people complain bitterly of the outrages committed by a portion of Brigadier General Robert B.Mitchell's brigade; they are charged with jayhawking horses, negroes, etc....At Union City(thirty-one miles north of Trenton) a foraging party under command of Captain Marcus J.Parrott (assistant adjutant general, Seventh Kansas Cavalry), formerly a member of Congress from Kansas, arrested Rev.Mr.Koyle...and were about to rob him....when he told them that he was in charge of a funeral. They abused him very much, called him a d----d liar and broke open the coffin, and on discovering that it contained a corpse they told Mr Koyle to go to hell with his d----d secession corpse...(Captain Parrott reported the facts to General Mitchell, who declined to take any notice of the case. I have heard of other outrages equally atrocious perpetrated by these wretches. Innumerable Outrages Captain B.P.Chenowith, First Kansas Infantry, and provost marshal at Trenton, on June 30,1862, communicated to General Halleck in Corinth about several incidents, including some repetition of the case in the above paragraph, but with additional information. My attention has been called to innumerable outrages committed by our troops, especially the First Brigade, under Brigadier General Robert B.Mitchell (First Division, Central Army of the Mississippi), in passing through this country. An irregular and perfectly unwarrantable system of foraging is carried on by many of the regiments... While General Mitchell's brigade was near Union City....a party of men from the Seventh Kansas Cavalry, Jennison's Cavalry under the charge of Captain M.J.Parrott,...met a funeral procession with the remains of a...widow lady...and, unmindful of the remonstrances of......Parrott, stopped the procession and demanded what they had in the wagon. Being told that it was a dead woman, they burst the coffin and examined the contents and then left, saying, "Go on with your d----d secession b---h." This was reported to General Mitchell, but he took no measures to punish it.... On...June 24......cavalry soldier's(of Mitchell's brigade).....went to the house of Mrs Emily Tyree....not far from Trenton and robbed and insulted her. The same night....a party roused the family of a Mr.Harper, residing about five miles from Trenton, and robbed him and abused his daughter with rough language.

There are two new boards Rootsweb has established for Gibson County TN. I do NOT control these boards.......they are the property of Rootsweb. One is the "For Sale" board, where you can advertise books, genealogical services, etc. It is located at : http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~classifieds/genbbs.cgi/USA/TN/Gibson/forsale The other board is to advertise to others that you are looking for a particular source of data for Gibson Co. that someone might have for sale. http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~classifieds/genbbs.cgi/USA/TN/Gibson/tobuy Please feel free to use these boards and check back on them frequently. They both are public boards and are not part of the Gibson Co. TN website, but could be very useful to you in your research. Vicki CC Gibson Co. TN

Is there a State of Tennessee discussion list? Does anyone have the address? Thanks! I'm still looking for information on one Henry HON (Haun/How/Hahn) who married Sarah NEALE (Neely/Nealy) - first child born 1797 - last 1812. Last child Mary Hon married Loyal Brooks in Marshall County. But Henry and Sarah are supposed to have been married in Gibson Co. Thanks

Does Gibson County have an index to court cases that goes back to 1882? There is no microfilm version of an index (on the TN state site). I have enough money to order 2 rolls of microfilm so I'd like to get the 2 that will have the data I'm looking for. If anyone in the County could look for me, I'm looking for the murder trial of H.J. (Henderson Judge) Markham/Marcrum/Marcum. He was arraigned in June 1882 for killing Elisha Harrison May 1, 1882. I wrote and distributed a Varner family history at a reunion last week which mentioned the murder and now everyone wants to know how it ended. That's how I came up with the funds to order the film, my cousins want to know! I'm also looking for further data on a guardian bond on George W. Varner, signed in 1869 by Sandy Varner and William Varner. Did they report to the courts in later years? If so, which one? Circuit, Chancery, or Probate? Or should I order the County Clerk minutes of the years in question to narrow down the search? Thanks, Cheryl (Varner) Walker

Hey Ya'll, Sorry, I forgot to list the URL on the Medina webpage, here it is: http://www.public.usit.net/kyates/medina/index2.html Please pay no attention to the ad at the bottom of the index page.

The Memphis Daily Appeal on 27 Aug 1878 ran this list of local citizens who having fled the city because of the Yellow Fever Epidemic registered their temporary residences with the paper: Mrs.B.H.Dye----Trenton,Tenn. The Memphis Ledger in its issue of 4 Nov 1878 ran a list of friends who returned the previous night on the Louisville Railroad and where they had been during the epidemic: >From Trenton,Tenn: J.M.Patterson, Joe Sheppard, Mrs.Jule Simmons and family. Wade-Russell: The Hon.W.W.Wade, representative of Gibson County, and Miss Annie Russell, accomplished daughter of Col.R.M.Russell, were married at Trenton Wednesday, Rev.J.T.Rothrock officiating.
