I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 1200 prisoners on record from the state of Tennessee and almost 800 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. As Tennessee was one of the states that was torn apart and was truly brother against brother,,I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Does anyone know anything about a GUESS or GUEST family that lived in Claiborne or Hancock County, Tennessee in the early to mid 1800s? My ggg grandmother was supposed to be Nancy E. GUESS, born around 1804 in Alabama. She married Adam HOPKINS of Claiborne County, Tennessee in the early 1820s. They were listed in the Claiborne County census in 1830 and 1840. In 1849 or 1850 the family left for Iowa with a number of other families from the area. Nancy became ill during the trip, and died shortly after they arrived in Iowa. Adam's brother Elijah HOPKINS reportedly married Nancy's sister Sarah (Sally) GUESS, born c1812. The only other record I have found for a GUESS or GUEST in this area was a Joshua GUESS listed in Dist. 11 in the 1839 Claiborne County Tax List. I would love to hear from anyone that might know something about this family! Thanks! Janet Messer Micanopy, Florida Researching BISHOP - HOPKINS - COLE - CLOUSE - CLARK - WEAVER - GUESS
