Harold’s in this county. The Dr. was having his wheat crop threshed out, one of his hands was taking the straw away from the machine with a very sharp fork, and passing it up to some boys who were packing it away in the barn. It is supposed this little boy Willie was stooping to gather up an arm full of straw while the man with the fork was in the act of putting up a fork full. One prong of the fork entered the right eye passing into the brain, instantly paralyzing the little fellow’s right side. He never spoke, lingering several hours in terrible agony, dying about 10 o’clock p.m. There was no external wound, the eye-ball was not injured, and only one drop of blood, one tear of blood trickled down his cheek. This sa death is the more distressing as Willie! was just arriving at an age and strength to help his widowed mother.”

Dear Listers: I can't believe how responsive and generous the TNGREENE subscribers have been. We've been treated to great advice and hints about lodging. We'll probably try to get a good rate at the Jameson, because we've been quite happy with that chain all over the Midwest and South. Is there any possibility that Don Miller will soon be nominated for sainthood? -- it appears that he is the pivotal point around which all research revolves in Greene County. We can't wait to meet him and pick his ample brain. We appreciate everyone's advice and suggestions. We expect to navigate much more efficiently as a result. Several kind people have asked about our Browns, the reason for our visit. We believe that some of our Browns were fairly early (1790-ish) in Greenville, and there's every indication that they had come from Virginia, according to information in later census records. We believe that our closest Browns were gone from Greene County by about 1815-1820, but there may have been siblings or cousins who stay in place. The focus of our search is Benjamin Brown, b.1807 in Greenville, according to his Civil War Pension Application. We don't know who his parents were, from among the many choices in the area, but we are sure that he's associated with John Brown and Catherine Hull, who married in Greene Co in 1807. We believe that this John Brown may be the son of George Brown, Sr., from VA, and may be a brother to a Sarah Brown, who married Henry Trobaugh. Henry Trobaugh posted bond for the marriage of John Brown and Caty Hull. There were other marriages between the Browns and Trobaughs. Catherine Hull's family came from PA. Her parents were John Hull (Hohl?) and Ann Mary Lingenfelter. I suspect that they were Palatine German. Judy Brown, who was very helpful, noted the presence of both Scottish- and German-descended Browns in Greene County. It would not surprise me to find that our folks were originally Brauns, because of their associated with all of the Trobaughs and other Germans. Some of our Browns later appear in White County Tennessee, connected to the Tackett and Spears families. These Browns, Trobaughs, and Lingenfelters of ours spent several subsequent decades in Harrison County Indiana, along the Ohio River, before finally settling in Fulton County Illinois. It appears that there were several other families who migrated from Greene Co TN to Harrison Co IN in the early 1800s. Grateful regards to all, Jim Patrick, Tampa FL We're all prepared to be enchanted by the people and facilities in Greenville. Could someone in charge please arrange for some pretty foliage along the countryside during the middle of October?
