Hi all, If you have a Family History Center, run by the Mormon's in your area, you can order a Soundex for the state you are looking in, for 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 it is like an index, you just go thru the microfilm looking for your surname in Giles Co, noting the page #'s... Then you have them to go to the county.... Soundex's are great because they are for any surname that even sounds likes yours... So if there is variant's in the way you spell the surname you get them all --- i.e.; Stewart/Stuart ----- Original Message ----- From: <marhonda@swbell.net> To: <TNGILES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 07, 2000 3:02 AM Subject: Re: [TNGILES-L] 1880 Census on line > Could someone give the url please?

I didn't realize that not everyone had this info. The following is directly to the Federal Census Index. http://www.usgenweb.org/census/states/tennesse/tennesse.htm Giles has other years available as does other counties...happy hunting. I understand about the wait for the pages to download....I usually play a game or something in between the pages <lol>....but, I've found LOTS of information and it is handy when you can't get to the library.

I have a 56 K modem, which in rural areas where South Central Bell hasn't provided the necessary updated facilities, it means absolutely nothing! I am NEVER able to access the Internet faster than 21600 kbs. I hope this doesn't sound like I am complaining, as living in Webster County, MS is a long haul from Giles County, TN and I am happy to have the Census in any form available. But, under the aforementioned conditions, it would be NICE to have an index. Willard Stallings Webster County, MS

Hello, I am posting this information because this is what I got from the library. I've been having trouble finding my Nicholas' and maybe others have too. Hopefully this will help someone out there:) This is exactly how I found it in the book. 1850 Tennesse Census. Nicholas, Cornelius 50, Rachel 39, Joseph 22, Josephine 16, Jerry 11, Ky T, Fe-12-754 Nicholas, Jackson 17, Malinda, T T, Gi-111-779 Nicholas, James 60, Sarah 55, Midleton FAIRNIN 15, NC NC, Gi-67-773 Nicholas, John 44, Frances 40, William 20, Jonathon 17, Mariah J. 19, Martha 15, Elizabeth 12, Eliza 10, Mary Ann 8, Malvina 3, Frances J. 1, Ga Ba, B-164-362 Nicholas, Martha 30, Francis M. 5, Mary J. 2, Josephine 10/12, NC T, Sm-1003-565 Nicholas, Sarah 68, Massa H. 35, Elizabeth 30, Catharine 23, Va Va, Cr-872-134 Nicholas, Thomas 31, Manerva 31, Sarah America 9, John 3, Nancey 1, T T, Gi-66-773 Nicholas, Thomas 45, Mary Ann 39, Elizabeth C. 19, China M. 17, Stephen H. 16, Martha J. 13, James S. 9, John W. 7, Calvin T. 6, Joseph G. 4, NC T, B-50-376 Nicholas, W.

I believe that the information at the end has to do with the County and dwelling. Before that, I believe, is the place of Birth of Head of household and wife.

Hey Wanda- According to the book Heritage of Rowan Co NC, the Flemings, Sitrewalt,s Sloop's, Overcash's. and Graham's were among the earliest settlers in Rowan Co. I did not see any reference to Tom Fleming. You did not list years he might have been there. There are lot of Fleming's listed. There was a Fleming School 1896-1935. All of above early settlers still had farms active in 1990 per book. In 1990, there was Mrs. Charles E. Fleming, member of D.A.R. living in Rowan Co. Henry Fleming was witness in Aug 1796 and Feb 1788. James had Land Grant # 1765 Deed Bk 11, page 773 dated 28 April 1789 North branch of Reedy Creek of Catawba River adj Donald McKay and Samuel Huston. widow Fleming on head branch of Withrow's Creek Oct 1787 John witness Dec 1791 and Aug 1791. You might want to write to Rowan County Library, 201 W. Fisher St. Box 1009, Salisbury, NC 28144 to ask since Flemings are earliest settlers.
