Dear Betty, I am very pleased to see that the owner of this list is willing to post such a message on a board that has heretofore been proclaimed for the posting of those queries and responses related strictly to census records, wills, land record, marriage bonds, etc. The fact is, those fighting men and women are someone's descendants, and many are someone's ancetors, and that relates to the study of "genealogy" as much as anything else does. Thank you, Betty B.

He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155mm Howitzers. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay and still find ironic humor in it all. He has seen more suffering and death then he should have in his short lifetime. He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies, and helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away' those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. In an odd twist, day in and day out,far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful. Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great-grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding.

I was going through "old" e-mail messages to see which ones I could delete. I thought this LANE info re Grainger Co TN from 1998 e-mails was worth saving. Exchange with a lady named "Babs."

To Gail Roorda, Betty Allen, and others who have contributed to the question I asked about Civil War sites, my deepest appreciation. This is a terrific mail list - everyone's so helpful - and I am most grateful for everyone's efforts. Eleanor

Ross, A family story states that John Carl's mother's maiden name was Hayes. I have no proof of this. I am very interested in what you find on the McCann-Hayes connection. Thanks, Tracy

Tracy, No apology necessary. Most queries are about at least two families. The more names you mention the more likely someone will find a connection. I thought that I remembered a previous posting about this family so I searched my email archive and found your message to TNGRAING from almost a year ago which has some additional information so I am reposting it here. <<<<>>>> I am trying to find any one that might have information on the McCann family in Grainger County, Tennessee. My husband's grandfather was John Carl McCann born August 21, 1889. He married Audestia Boatman in MO. They lived in Illinois and some of their 16 children were born there. They supposedly still have family in Grainger County, Tennessee. Some with the last name Beckham. My husband's father was Louis "Mack" McCann. He met his wife, Mary Beatrice Cook in Grainger County while on leave from the Marine Corp. They moved to Corpus Christi, TX. Any information on either side would be greatly appreciated. Please email at [email protected] Thanks, Tracy <<<<>>>> I did not reply last year because I didn't have any connections. For example it was just last month that I extracted the later marriage records which had the McCann connection. I found John Carl McCann in the 1920 Morgan Co., Ill., census which states that he was born in Tennessee. His sister who was 18 was also born in Tennessee, so they should be in the 1900 Grainger Co. census. I have the 1900 Grainger County census microfilm and CD but I do not have an index to it. Perhaps someone who has the published 1900 Grainger Co. census could check the index for McCann. There will probably be only five or so families -- Andrew and/or Mary and their four sons all old enough to have their own families by 1900. It would appear that John Carl is probably the grandson of Andrew and Mary McCann, but I don't know whether his father was Norton (Horton?), George H., John W., or Pleasant W. The 1900 census should resolve this. His sister's name is difficult to read. The bottom loop of the y from Henry from the line above makes it difficult to read. I would guess that the name is Nora or perhaps Norene (?) or something like that. I can't tell whether the name is that long or it is just smudges or stray markings on the film. To follow up on information from the earlier message, I found the following marriage bonds in Grainger Co.: Hattie McCann, 19, and G. Clyde Greenlee, 23, dated 5 Nov 1909. Lillie McCann and Bud Beckham, dated 24 Mar 1899, and they were married 26 Mar 1899 by S. J. Pike, M. G. This would be at least one of the Beckham connections to the McCann family. There could be more. Lillie was likely born after the 1880 census, so I don't know what family she is in, but she could be John Carl's sister or cousin. Martha McCann and George Whitt, dated 20 May 1905. Martha McCann was the second wife of George Whitt. He was likely some relation to her because she was the daughter of Andrew and Mary (Whitt) McCann. Her husband George Samuel Whitt was a relative of my Cameron cousin George T. Whitt (son of Robert Whitt and Sarah Cameron) who married Margaret Handcock in 1892. George Samuel Whitt first married Mary Morgan on 28 Dec. 1876. There are some other McCann marriages to Northern, Brabson, Whitt, Hayes, Greenlee, Lance, Hixon, Williams, Moody, Patterson, Roach, Dodson, and Morgan, which I will send have to send later. Ross Cameron >>> [email protected] 03/26/03 08:03PM >>> Ross and List, I am sorry that I had questions of two families at once. Just thought it would be another email that would not bring a response. I was very excited when there seemed to be an interest. I will try and clarify and also answer questions that have been asked. I will try and do some of that direct. I am not sure if you want the list tied up with all of my questions. I have found my husband's grandfather, John Carl McCann, listed with his wife Emma Audestia Boatman McCann in the 1920 Prentice, IL Census. They were married in 1915 in Hannibal, MO. Two of their children had been born at this time. Also living with them is John Carl's sister. I cannot make out her name. It looks like it starts with an N. She is 18 years old and was also born in TN. I am wondering if anyone would have access to (I believe there was one) the 1910 and 1900 Census? The Cameron connection is supposed to be through the McCann side. John Carl McCann moved his family from Prentice IL to the Corpus Christi, TX area. I do not know if John Carl McCann moved with his parents to IL or if they stayed in Grainger County. I do know that family remained in Grainger County. More to Come! Thank you for your responses, Tracy McCann

Good morning, Tina - thanks for trying. Charlie and I are in touch on a regular basis, although he has determined the TN Bibbins are not his. Sorry I did not respond sooner, I did not see your email come in! I do appreciate everyone's help!! It does begin to look as if Elijah was from Knox Co. KY, but I have not ventured into that angle yet. He was gone from Grainger Co. by 1830.

Dear Fellow researchers, Obviously it has been several "tomorrows" since I sent any more information about Civil War prisons. I have found a lot of sites, but I don't seem to have time to write up the information and send it to the list. Today's prison is Point Lookout. Point Lookout is online at: http://www.clements.umich.edu/Webguides/Schoff/NP/Point.html At the bottom of the page is a list of records you can search at this site. I could find no list of those who died at Point Lookout at this site, but since I last wrote to the list I did finally remember where I saw the Point Lookout Cemetery information. (I apparently did not bookmark the site.) Interment.net http://www.interment.net/Default.htm The Point Lookout burials are at the following URL, but you may just find it easier to go to the home page listed above and search on Point Lookout. The URL below may not work. (You could try copying and pasting.) http://www.interment.net/data/query_select.idq?CiRestriction=Point+Lookout&s elect=%2Fus%2Fmd&SUBMIT=Search&CiScope=%2F&CiMaxRecordsPerPage=30&TemplateNa me=query_select&CiSort=rank%5Bd%5D&HTMLQueryForm=search.htm However, yesterday when I was rechecking my bookmarks in hopes of finally sending this information on to the list, I did find another list of those who died at Point Lookout. http://www.members.tripod.com/~PLPOW/plpow.htm Warning there is some controversial material at this website. This list is part of the Point Lookout Descendents organizations site and not unnaturally reflects the point of view of the members of this organization or at least those whoi have constructed the site. I wasn't sure whether to send this URL on or not.. I am getting really hesitant about posting some information to lists I am on for fear of restarting the Civil War all over again. I am hoping this won't generate some sort of "flame" over whether Point Lookout WAS worse than Andersonville or whether or where it is appropriate to fly the Confederate flag, etc. We have all seen a lot of this kind of thing on Tennessee lists in the last several years. As I said this site definitely reflects a point of view which may be a little exteme for some folks, BUT there is a good deal of interesting material here: http://www.members.tripod.com/~PLPOW/plpow.htm As I said the only soldier in my database who died at Point Lookout was Marmaduke "Duke" Mayes. According to information at interment.net and this site M.D. Mays served in the 61Tennessee, Company G. Since men tended to "jine" up together I returned to the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System website: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ selected regiments and did a search on this regiment and came up with the roster for the 61st Regiment, Tennessee Mounted Infantry (Pitts') (81st Infantry). I considered scrolling through this list to see if I could could find any familiar Grainger County names. <grin> However, there are 1921 names on this roster. So I went back to soldiers and did a search on M. D. Mayes, and printed out this information, but if you are looking for a Grainger County soldier this might be a good roster to check. I did notice that the first page listed a whole "slew" of Acuffs, and I wondered whether any of these soldiers were Jeff/Grainger County Acuffs, but I am not (at least as far as I know) connected to the Acuffs so I couldn't tell, but I think Bill has Acuffs and maybe some of the rest of you do, too. Well, it is getting very late here, and I am struggling to stay awake so goodnight to you all and "happy hunting". Gail in MO

Ross and List, I am sorry that I had questions of two families at once. Just thought it would be another email that would not bring a response. I was very excited when there seemed to be an interest. I will try and clarify and also answer questions that have been asked. I will try and do some of that direct. I am not sure if you want the list tied up with all of my questions. I have found my husband's grandfather, John Carl McCann, listed with his wife Emma Audestia Boatman McCann in the 1920 Prentice, IL Census. They were married in 1915 in Hannibal, MO. Two of their children had been born at this time. Also living with them is John Carl's sister. I cannot make out her name. It looks like it starts with an N. She is 18 years old and was also born in TN. I am wondering if anyone would have access to (I believe there was one) the 1910 and 1900 Census? The Cameron connection is supposed to be through the McCann side. John Carl McCann moved his family from Prentice IL to the Corpus Christi, TX area. I do not know if John Carl McCann moved with his parents to IL or if they stayed in Grainger County. I do know that family remained in Grainger County. More to Come! Thank you for your responses, Tracy McCann

Tracy, I have a lot of information on Camerons in Grainger County beginning with my 3-greats grandparents, Absalom Cameron and Elizabeth "Betsey" Gallion (a/k/a Galyon) who were married there in 1812. Most if not all of the Camerons in Grainger County are descended from them. I am now trying to identify and link all of the Camerons and their relatives who appear in Grainger County censuses 1830-1930, Grainger County marriage records 1796-1926, Grainger County tombstone inscriptions, and Grainger County death certificates 1914-1946, obituaries, etc. as well as some neighboring counties. I do have the following marriage record: Cameron, Willie, age 19, to McCann(?), Cora, age 22, on 3 Oct 1917 Cora's surname is given as McCannm in the transcription that I have. I have not seen the actual marriage record to check the name. I believe that this is the same as the following couple in the 1920 Grainger Co., TN, census, 7th Civil District, E.D. 67, sheet 3B, lines 68-70, dwelling 56, family 58: Cameron, William J., head, m, w, 19, mar., Tenn, Tenn, Tenn Cora J., wife, f, w, 24, mar., Tenn, Tenn, Tenn William J., Jr., son, m, w, 1 ?/12, Tenn, Tenn, Tenn It also appears that this could be the following couple buried at Central Point Cemetery: Cameron, John W., 29 Apr 1900 - 18 Aug 1963 ssw/ Cora C. Cameron, Cora C., 3 Sep 1897 - [blank] ssw/ John W. Many times first and middle names are switched between various records like census, marriage, and tombstone records, so that William J., and John W. could be the same person. The ages are very close. Cora's middle initial is also not a match. However, this is all still speculation at this point because I don't have confirming evidence to positively link these records. There also appears to be a link between the McCann family and the Whitt family; some of the Whitts married Camerons. I also have the following connection between Cameron and McCann through Greenlee. Joseph Alexander Cameron born 16 Mar 1905 died 29 Mar 1984 mar., 1st, Novella Mae Greenlee daughter of Gilbert Clyde "Buttermilk" Greenlee and Hattie McCann born 2 Nov 1910 died 27 Jul 1941 Novella mar., 2nd, Everett Hubbard I have more information on the Cameron family above, but not on the Greenlee and McCann families mentioned. Some in this branch of Camerons also lived in Jefferson County. Do you have a date of birth for John Carl McCann? I am not sure which "he" you are saying was born in Illinois. Was this John Carl McCann? Or was he born in Grainger Co.? In the 1920 Grainger Co Census there are three McCann families/persons indexed: Norton (or Horton) McCann, age 69, born Tenn. ED 55, p. 13B, and his wife, Martha, and their son, James, 43, and his wife and children living in the same household as Norton/Horton [They are living next to the families of Perry and Walter Cameron.] Mary McCann, age 91, b. Tenn., living with her son-in-law and daughter, George Whitt, 63, and wife Marthy. There are also 3 McCann families in the 1880 Grainger Co Census including some of the above families: McCan, Andrew, 58, VA, VA, VA Mary J., 52, VA, VA, VA [probably the Mary, 91, in the 1920 Whitt household] John W., 16, TN, VA, VA Pleasant W., 14, TN, VA, VA Harriett L., 12, TN, VA, VA Marshel R. R., [granddau.], 10, TN, TN, TN McCan, Horton (or Norton), 30, TN, TN, TN Martha, 23, TN, TN, TN James, 4, TN, TN, TN, Mary, 2, TN, TN, TN McCan, George H., 18, TN, VA, VA Eliza J., 22, TN, TN, TN Do you know when and where John Carl McCann died? If so, you could get his death certificate and it might give his parents' names. I will see what else that I can find on these possible connections. I can also provide more information on the Cameron lines. Do any of the above names seem familiar? Ross Cameron >>> [email protected] 03/25/03 10:30AM >>> I am looking for information on my husband's family. His father was Lonas/Louis "Mack" McCann. He was the son of John Carl and Audestia Boatman McCann. He was born in Illinois and raised in Corpus Christi, TX. But, his family was supposed to have come from Grainger County. He is supposed to have been related to the Cameron and Beckham (sp) families. Someone living in the Rutledge or Bean Station area sent him newspaper clippings of his children in the sixties and seventies as they were growing up in Grainger Co. I am also looking for information on my husband's mother and family. She was supposed to have been born in Grainger County in 1930. They lived in West Virginia prior to that. Her name was Mary Beatrice Cook. She was the daughter of Robert Scott Cook and Della Beatrice Huffman/Hoffman who later married Orbin Anders. I have found the Cook's listed in the 1930 Grainger County Census. Mary Beatrice died in TX in 1963 and was brought back to Grainger County. They are all buried at Helton Springs in Rutledge, TN. Any information (now matter how small) would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Tracy McCann ==== TNGRAING Mailing List ==== To UNSUBSCRIBE please send your message to [email protected]

Hi Sheri, How did you know that these Mayes or Daniel women were originally Hodge. All I see are their married names, except for Anna who must have been a Daniel. Do you have other information that lists these women?
