I've jsut received copies of marriage records for a couple of my ancestors. One of the records, dated in 1877, has "don't publish" written over the names. Anyone have any idea why some of the records say "don't publish"? It is at the request of the couple, something legal, or what? Thanks. Donna

Still looking for the ancestors of James M. Smith b. abt 1809 in GA. Yes, another James M. Smith. (Middleton). James was born most likely in Walker Co., GA, though there is not proof. He was living in Hamilton Co., TN in 1830, it is unknown where he was in 1840, and in Walker Co., GA in 1850 and in Randolph Co., AR in 1860. James was married to Susan Wallen before 1830. They were the the parents of the following known children, William, Sally, Mary, Priscilla, Campbell, Nancy, CAroline Catherine, Martha, Tennessee and Henry. In 1830 James M. Smith and female of about same age lived next to a Charles Smith age btw 50 and 59. James might have had a brother Littleton Smith who also lived in Walker Co., GA and migrated to Randolph Co., AR. Would love to hear from you if you know of this family and can add some missing pieces. Kathleen Burnett

Are there still records of court cases re: lewd behavior in Hamilton Co. for 1856-57? Supposedly, an ancestor Samuel Davis and Margaret Gothard were taken to court for same. I'd love to see what the case file had to say. I have to admit, my Davis line has all kinds of "interesting" stuff. Thanks Donna

I am searching for info. relative to Iverson L Brooks who came to Tennesse about 1849-1850 and I think attended law school there somewhere. He married a Bettie A Lee or Lea in 1857-59 somewhere in Tennessee, she was born in TN in 1843 ? They were in Arkansas by 1860 with 2 children. Iverson l Brooks came from Caswell Co NC. Any info is helpfull, especially for Bettie (Elizabeth?) AND I found some TN site that may be of some interest to someone. http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03.htm http://www.segenealogy.com/tennessee/tn_map.htm http://www.segenealogy.com/tennessee http://www.segenealogy.com/sgo03_tn.htm Thanks Chris

A variation of the Badtrans virus is loose again - I've got about 40 of them today. As I saw them downloading - I deleted the attachments - .scr and .pif but according to the info below, I'm not sure that that was enough. Tim >From a list I'm on: 'It's a variation of the badtran virus. This one lauches itself through a blank email. You don't have to open the attachment for it to run amuk. I don't see any updates on McAfee or Symantec for it; This virus eats up every available byte of memory you've got, and I'd guess would then crash your computer without utilities to recover memory. I know it's a variation of the badtran, that much I've figured out. It sends itself out to everyone in your address book, not just unread mail as previous versions of the badtran. It also launches itself by simply reading the email since the program is embedded into a blank email. I'd suggest that you set your email program NOT to show HTML emails, but only in .txt format. I think that will stop it from launching (but I'm not sure). When it resends itself, it uses several different file extensions and file names. So don't count on it being the same as what David said earlier. It won't be. This one is not writing the "kern32" or "inetd" files onto your root directory, like the badtran virus did. I haven't figured out what files were written, but I do know that the system registry was affected, just like the original badtran. It also seems to resend itself AGAIN everytime you get online. So, expect several copies of it from all us idiots who don't want to waste disk space on anti-virus programs.' Tim

Chris, Afraid that I am not related to the Cash family, just happen to have the census handy and just thought I would add a little input. My TN lines are mainly Sparks, Gann, Daughtery. As far as TX is concerned, Josiah Taylor, my 3rd great grandfather first came to TX in 1812 with the Gutierrez-Magee Expedition and then returned again in 1824 with his family and help settle the Green DeWitt Colony. His descendants were the Taylor faction of the Sutton-Taylor Feud. Josiah's family were living in TN just prior to migrating to TX in 1824. Beverly

B......Welcker's TN Cav Batt'n(includes Darius Waterhouses Co.).....both of which were involved in the battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga(hope I spelled that right....).

Hello to the list, I am new here...my name is Chris Cash...I have been researching mostly in Meigs/Rhea and Roane Co's. Recently while digging on my pesky bunch of ancestors, I discovered to my total suprise, my old ggGrandfather James "Monroe" Cash b. 1826 Roane Co. TN had served in the Mexican War ca. 1846-7. His unit was mustered at Harrison, Hamilton Co. in East TN in Oct. of 1847. He was in "Waterhouse's" Co...names I have noted in both Meigs/Hamilton Co. along w/ Miles Vernon. This Unit became Co. H(Roger's), 4th TN Volunteer Infantry. Might anyone connect w/ any of these places, units, names? Other surnames I am searching are: Ford, Rowden, Renfrow, Gibson, McGill/Magill, Jackson, Murphy, Blackwell and others. Thanks and hope to hear from anyone. God Bless, Chris

Chris, I don't know if this is of any help, but could this be the James Monroe Cash that you are looking for? I ask, because he has a son named Monroe: District 13, Warren, TN. FHL Film 1255284 National Archives Film T9-1284, page 410A. James Cash, age 56, farmer, self and parents born in TN Emiline, age 55, born in TN Mary M., daughter, age 17, born in TN Monroe, son, age 14, born in TN.

I hate it when I answer my own questions... I found Thomas W. and Rebecca Anderson in Walker County, GA in 1850 and 1840. They were in SC before that. Does anyone know what became of Thomas W. and Rebecca Anderson? Could someone do a cemetery look-up for me?

Does anyone have access to the index for the 1870 Census for Hamilton County who would do a look up for me? I'm looking for a man who was listed as T. W. Anderson in the 1860 Census for Hamilton County. He was listed as being 50 (b. abt. 1810 in VA) with a wife named Rebecca also aged 50 (b. abt. 1810 in SC). I need to know what his given name was. I'm hoping it's listed in the 1870 Census. Thannks, Jim Nix Birmingham, AL

Looking for ancestors/siblings/descendants of my gggrandmother, Susan V. Young b. 7 May 1832 Tn. and m. Anderson Bird Randolph in Franklin Co., Il. 10 Aug 1854. His family migrated from I believe Bledsoe Co., Tn. in the late 1840's to Saline Co.,Il. Any help appreciated. I do not know parents or siblings; I think perhaps she might have had a brother named Benjamin S., but am not sure. She's my brick wall. Are there any Young descendants out there?

I am researching the hanging of Pressley R. Lominack during the Civil War (1862-1863?). Pressley was b 1817 in Newberry Co., SC. and later moved to Hamilton Co., TN. He served as county surveyor from 1848-1854 and married to Elizabeth Daugherty about 1840. He appears on the 1860 Hamilton Co., TN census. It is believed he may have also been married to Elvina Elizabeth Simpson. Pressley did not serve in the war but was believed by his neighbors to have had Yankee sympathies. The story goes that neighbors hung him in 1863 on his own land. Family lore says the men responsible were hunted down and killed (near Ft. Smith, Arkansas) by his sons, James and William. Elizabeth continued to live in Hamilton Co. until her death sometime about 1886. I would appreciate it very much if any of you working Hamilton Co., TN could give me tips or suggestions on where I might go next to find out more on this murder. Are there any surviving newspapers or journals/diaries that might have mentioned this incident?? Pressley is buried in Lominack Cemetery in East Ridge, TN in an unmarked grave. His family was afraid to mark his grave fearing desecration. Thanks, Teresa Harris 3 great grand daughter of Pressley

Davis, John, works on farm, nephew, m, s, w, 10, Tn., Tn., Tn Am interested in what happened to Sarah and Frank. Suspect he either died or they divorced very soon after the census. By 11/1881, Sarah has married a Robert McMurray in Hamilton Co. Sarah was the Liz Taylor of her day. Frank would be the 2nd of 5 husbands. Also interested in who the Davis kids are. They obviously are Sarah's niece and nephew, but have no idea which of her brothers they belong to. Donna
