    1. [TNGILES-L] Lookups
    2. I have on loan from the Tennessee State Library Flournoy Rivers Manuscripts and History of Pisgah, by W. Thomas Cardin, compiled by Clara M. Parker & Edward Jackson White. The "Manuscripts" are primarily abstracts of court records & minute books from the early 1800s, with some cemetery data. The "History" is biographical, most of its subjects being Methodists. There is a last name index to the "Manuscripts" but no index to the "History." Every Name Index to Eighteen Middle Tennessee County Record Books, by Byron Sistler, indexes both these works by first and last name. I do not have the "Index" but do have copies of pages with the names HICKMAN, Eliza through HIGGINS, Joseph; HITT, Early through HOBBS, John M.; and LEFTWICH through LENTS, John. During the next week I will be happy to do lookups in the "Manuscripts," and if your ancestor's name is on the pages of the "Index" that I have then in the "History." Both the "Manuscripts" and the "History" are worthwhile and I would urge those of you with ancestor's in Giles County in the early 1800s to get your hands on a copy of this book.
