Hi, List. Rick & Joy Tucker & I all went recently to the Patterson Cemetery and put up a sign. It is right inside the fence and a little hard to see. If any of you who live in Gibson County have the time, drive by there and see it. It is located on Wayne Lloyd Road near the Hollyleaf Community. There is a cleanup set for the cemetery and if you are interested (especially if you have Butler, McCartney, Knott, Payne, Johns, Lloyd, or Hedgecock blood in you) contact Adam McCartney (mccartneyad@hotmail.com), Rick & Joy Tucker (rltucker@iswt.com) or Patti Simmons (fawn@iswt.com).

I notice that you have a Willie Hicks of Gibson County. I am researching a Hicks line from that county and Dyer also. I have a Willie Hicks but my Willie is a male. Do you have any information on your Hicks line?

After I got out my book of phototgraphs of Gibson County cemeteries, I realized there might be someone who is looking fot these people. Seems like so many cemeteries have been surveyed already and I haven't checked to see if these are on there. Mary J. wife of J.H. Watson Born May 18 1836 Died Sept 25 1878 (Good Hope Methodist Cem) Ida Henryetta Skipper Watson born Oct 19 1863 Died April 2 1893 Daughter of Thomas and Mary Johnson Skipper. Wife of James H. Watson. Mother of Paul Henry Watson born March 25, 1893 Died October 18 1968. Erected by Verna Nell McMinimy on November 21 1989 (at a Yorkville Cem?) Same stone-Gertrude Watson July 13 1890-May 25 1964 Walter L. Watson Feb 3 1881-Nov 22 1968 (Dyer Cemetery) If anyone is interested in these photos I will gladly mail them...i do not believe they are not my family afterall. Cathy

This is to the person in charge of the list (Vicki I thing). I was receiving e-mails one at a time and changed to the digest form a few days ago. However I haven't received anything digest mails at all from the list. I do receive other digest mails from other list but don't know what is happening here. Should I resubscribe to the digest list or something else. Please let me know what to do.

I have yet to sort out the ancestry of Wilson Brown who was in Gibson County from 1824 to about 1836. In December of 1828 the Gibson County Court asked Wilson Brown and Henry W. James to each inventory the legacies left to their children by grandfather Lewis Brown and grandmother Jemima Brown. I have yet to find a record of those legacies. Earlier in June of 1828, in separate court cases, Wilson and Henry were each awarded guardianship of their infant children. Neal B.

About 1831 French painter Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre made photographs on silver plates coated with a light-sensitive layer of silver iodide. After exposing the plate for several minutes, Daguerre used mercury vapors to develop a positive photographic image. These photographs were not permanent because the plates gradually darkened, obliterating the image. In the first permanent photographs made by Daguerre, the developed plate was coated with a strong solution of ordinary table salt. This fixing process, originated by British inventor William Henry Fox Talbot, rendered the unexposed silver-iodide particles insensitive to light and prevented total blackening of the plate. The Daguerre method produced an unreproducible image on the silver plate for each exposure made. = each exposure made.

Daguerreotype, early photographic process that produced a single, nonreproducible image on a silver plate. This technology was quickly succeeded by other methods as photography advanced in the 19th century. For more information: technical details and role of daguerreotypes in photography, see Photography inventor of the process, see Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre photographers who used this technique, see Southworth and Hawes d Hawes

I had to look too. Webster says a Daguerreotype is "an early photograph produced on a silver or a silver-covered copper plate." They have a noticable difference in them and the look of a tin-type.
