Where would I be able to find information about the 34th Tennessee Infantry Co. B. out of Hardin Co.? I read that it was later called the 4th Provisional Infantry. I can't find a website or any information in the library about it.. Is this company the same one as is referred to as "The Hardin Co Boys"? I found a web site about a year ago but I could never access it. Can anyone help? Thanks! ô¿ô palliott@nwol.net

Found this in the PERSI Index, hope it may help someone.

I note that he had two slaves in 1840. Also, his son Henry C. Ruth was a member of "A" Co., 2nd Mounted Infantry stationed at Clifton. I have not answered your question. I have found nothing that would indicate that Samuel Ruth lived at Cerro Gordo. Another place we can check is the deeds. I can't do that until I can get to the Courthouse. I note that Samuel was a Brick Mason and that other members of his family followed that profession. When I built my house at Cerro Gordo in 1976, a Ruth father and son team did a lot of the Brick and Stone work. They did excellent work. David Cerro Gordo Ramona R.

David Cagle asked if we still had snow up here in Minnesota. David, my mother and father thought it snowed here 12 months of the year. They were up here only once, and it did snow.... March 1970.... but while in-route home to Indiana they got stuck in Chicago for 3 days because of a 2" snow storm there, we had more than 14" during their stay here, and they didn't complain a bit, thought it was fun! No it doesn't snow here every month of the year. We have four seasons, just like you all down in Tennessee.....but our season are different than yours. Oh, we have fall, winter, spring, but our 4th season is "Road Repair". And our winters usually are from Thanksgiving to Easter (depending on how late Easter is). Aren't you glad you asked, David! And yes, that Robert & Susan ALLISON info came from me some time ago....but still valid. Best Wishes, Tom Evans Bloomington, Minnesota

Helen, Following is a little bit on Emmersons. David JAMES L. SMITH FAMILY (his 2nd marriage) After death of husband, Eli, Margaret (Hawk) Emerson, mother of Mary E. Polk, married widower James L. Smith, County Clerk, Hardin Co, TN, whose name appears on settlement papers of Eli, who died intestate. By first wife, he had 5 children: James M., William J., Daniel N., Pleasant M., and Sarah C. (Smith) Young, widow of Issac Young. In will, but not on the 1850 census is James M. Smith. Initial "M" appears on third page of will but we have not found the initial "M" otherwise. The will, in Will Book 2, page 37 was written 9 November 1859, probated at Savannah, Tennessee on 4 August 1862, Book "C". Executors named: P.M. Smith, William Hawk and John H. Smith, eldest child of his father's 2nd marriage. In her letter to daughter Mary E. Polk, Margaret Smith tells of the death of Mary's half-brother John "b. Mar. 6, 1841, enlisted in Confederate forces, was shot and killed by two Union soldiers, one a neighbor also named John Smith, on Jan. 17, 1864." When the will was probated, it was stated "It appears that John Smith is not within the State of Tennessee," and another executor, David H. Merriman, was named to replace him. In her letter, Margaret referred to one of the executors, her brother, William Hawk, when she said "William Hawk is a strong Union man." Mary Emerson, age 15, is on the 1850 census of the Smith household; also, on the census is Redding W. Reynolds, age 20, laborer. Pleasant Smith's wife, Nancy, is mentioned in the letter as being in poor health. In Deed Book "J", page 410, Pleasant and wife Nancy, together with Redding W. Reynolds, conveyed Indian Creek property on December 28, 1853 to William Goldberry for $500.00. In his will, James L. Smith requested Daniel N. Smith to take and care for his sister, Sarah C. Young and son, James, until James reached 23 years of age. On the same p. 37, Hardin County Will Book "C" appears request of Pleasant M. Smith to be appointed administrator of the estate of brother-in-law Isaac Young who d. intestate. Bond of $3,000 was given with W.J. Smith and D.N. Smith as securities. Appointment granted. Pleasant M. Smith: His 2nd marriage was to Mrs. S.I.A.T. Harris on May 12, 1868. On Jan. 19, 1869 he married Mary A. Milana. On the 1870 census (3rd C.D.) Pleasant's age is given as 41 and that of Sarah, housekeeper, as 19. Children of Pleasant by first wife, Nancy: (1870 census age) James, 1854; John W., 1857; William H., 1859. Middle initial for son George appears to be "M" on 1850 and 1860 census sheets. On some deed entries it is "W" - George W. Smith and wife Clare, Book "S", page 200. Daughter Margaret is known by middle name, "Tennie". We do not know to which of the Mark Hardin families her husband George belongs but assume it is as in the 1850 census: (2nd C.D. - Hardin County, Tennessee): page either 56 or 516: Mark Hardin, 36; Mailinda, 36; Arthur M., 13; Martin G., 12; Henry H., 8; Thomas J., 7; George W., 5; William M., 1. Tennie married George Hardin in Jan. 1866. She was born 1849 ca. Margaret Smith, in her letter of Mar. 1866, said that Tennie and her husband George Hardin were living with her. The 1870 census shows Alice, 18 and Andrew, 15, living with Margaret; and "Lenelk" Hardin, age 20 and Cornelia Hardin, age 3, with her; but no George. We know that George Hardin died for Tennie's name appears with husband Solomon Brewer in 1878. The use of Lenelk as a given name on the 1870 census is puzzling. Tenn. Archives: Hardin Co., Minute Bk. "C", page 234, 3 Sept. 1838: "Eli Emerson is dead... having made no will... Application made by Terrance Emerson and John Hawk (brother- in-law) to have letters of administration granted." Page 237, October 1, 1838. Above admin. file inventory report of yearly allowance to widow. Margaret's brothers were William Hawk "a strong Union man" and John R. Hawk, listed as a physician, living in household of William Hawk, 1870 census of Hardin Co. A photocopy from Swinn's reference quoting Willliam Harrison Polk's "Polk Family & Kinsmen" 1912 ed. pg. 350, gives the one bit of news we have of Mary Emerson's brother, J.D. Emerson listed in the family Bible as such, b. Mar. 18, 1833. (Margaret Smith inquired in her letter to Mary and husband, William Harvey Polk Arkansas, 1866, if they had any word of "Duncan" whom someone had thought might be dead. In the Randolph Co., Ark. census, 1860, Josiah D. Emison, age 27, b. in Tn., is shown in household of William H. and Mary E. Polk.

The connection all well so far as I know, except Nancy, Pleasant's wife. She is in very bad health. Sarah Reynolds died last summer with consumption. Myself and family are all in tolerable good health a present, hoping you the same blessing. Times are tolerable peaceful here now, as much so could be expected. George is not staying at home much now. He is fearful he cannot stay with safety. William Hawk and family are well. He has been a strong Union man all the time. I heard lately from your uncle, John Hawk. He and family are well. He has been all right through the war. My husband died May 7, 1862. He had made a will and willed me four negroes and plenty of stock to carry on my farm and answer my purposes tolerable well. I have three children living with me now, Andrew, my baby, and Alice, my youngest daughter, and Tennessee and her husband are living with me. Tennessee married George Hardin in Jan., last and living in about 5 miles of me, son of William and Matilda Robinson on Turkey Creek who send you their compliments. Your brother John Smith is dead. He was born March 8, 1841, entered the Confederate Army Oct. 1861, was arrested by the federal forces Dec. 30, 1863 after being confined 16 days. He was brought at 6 o'clock on Sunday Eve on the 17, 1864 and was shot and buried without a coffin at Chaulk Bluff. He was taken up by his friends brought home and buried. He was buried decently Jan. 27, 1864. Isabell went and found his grave and learned for certain it was him and then obtained a permit from the authorities to move him. She then got help and brought him home. He was shot twice, first by John Smith, son of Hiram Smith who lived above us. He was shot the second time by a captain by the name of Phillips. He is buried at home in the orchard about one hundred yards above the house. Your father is buried up at Mr. Bailey's. Harvey, your mother's health is very bad at this time. She has removed back to Mike Poke's a few days ago. We have heard that Duncan was killed but do not know if he is alive. We all send our compliments to him and family and request him to write to us. I want you to be sure and write to me and want you both to come and see me as soon as you possibly can. It would be great pleasure to me to see you all together once more in life. Me and Newt has sold out. Newt wants you to let him know the price of land out here. He has rented old lady Poke's place and living on it. Isabell and her husband and Tenn and her husband and all the children send their best love and respects to you and request you to write them. Give my respects to all the connection and receive a double portion to yourself. Hoping to hear from the soon, I am respectfully your affectionate Mother till Death.

I am new to the list and would like to know if anyone else is researching the EMBERSON/EMERSON/EMMERSON and/or MC DANIEL(S) in Hardin County during the period of about 1820 to 1840. My oldest known ancestor was James EMMERSON, born SC in 1789. He mar. Susannah McDANIELS who was also born in SC. Haven't found a marr. record but I assume it was in SC since that is where their first son was born in 1809. This son, Williams, mar. a Mary (Polly) FUNDERBURK who was born in Hardin Co. TN. Their 3rd son, Henry Harvey, was born in TN in 1820 Several people have said they think James was the son of Isaac EMMERSON who lived in Hardin Co. TN but I have only been able to find a couple of mentions of an Isaac and an Eli in Hardin Co. on early records. I also noticed some McDaniels living in Hardin Co. I have quite a lot of information on James and family after they moved to Johnson Co. IL about 1840 but nothing about him while he lived in TN. If anyone has any info. on either families, I would very much like to hear from you. I would like to either prove or disprove this story about James being the son of Isaac Emmerson. Thanks in advance. Helen helen.seaton@asu.edu

New information I have indicates that John Mabry DONNEL who was born abt 1801 in Tennessee might have been the son of a DONALDSON (DONNELSON/DONELSON or perhaps Mc/Mac DONALD). I believe that his family originated in the Carolinas, PA, maybe MD. I would really like to find the parents of John Mabry DONNEL. Does anyone have a DONALDSON family with a John, b abt 1801 in TN? Any other suggestions on my search? John Mabry DONNEL married Elizabeth JERNIGAN abt 1819 and lived in Rutherford Co, TN until 1827/1829 when they relocated to Fayette Co, IL.
