David was an inspiration to me. Without him, www.the-watchers.com <http://www.the-watchers.com/> would have never happened. His work directly and indirectly brought closure to many researching their "family roots". He was a pioneer in using the internet as a tool for the research of family and local history. His work will never be forgotten. Jerry T.

Rick, David Donahue wasn't advanced in years, he was in his early 50's as I recall.

Thanks for alerting us to this tribute, Wanda. He certainly was a great help to me and he is missed indeed. I had no idea when I first saw his web pages full of helpful data, that he was advanced in years.

If you have any additional information on the Washburn family, including their address in 1860, I would appreciate receiving that. Thanks.

Great-granddaddy Jamison was involved in it, I understand, and was later injured at Shiloh. Talk about fighting on home turf! Incidentally, the Gowen Manuscript was most interesting. Following the travels of Gowen curiously match very closely some of my husband's family -- Independence County Arkanas, the shift from there to Lamar County, Texas. Fascinating. Thanks, Brec, you've given a lot.

Curious, and in a way not helpful to find them. :-( My great-grandfather was purportedly born (and I would assume) grew up in Henderson County, which makes the Carroll County Morning Sun more likely. Tantalizing, no?

Might try emailing Museum at Governor Browning Library in Carroll Co. TN or put message on message board of Carroll Co. TN Historical Society on www.rootsweb.com. Likely someone may have a lead for you regarding "Morning Sun". It has been my experience, many times a community within a county was named for landmark, i.e. a church, post office. Check this website for links to above, there is a link for Historical Society: <A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/carroll/">Carroll County Tennessee Genealogy & History. TNGenNet Inc, TNGenWeb Project. </A> or http://www.tngenweb.org/carroll/ I-40 highway took land from both Carroll Co. TN and Henderson Co. TN when it was built, but I don't know how close the location you seek was to the highway. I also don't know when construction started on I-40 through both those counties. Early newspapers of Carroll Co. TN might shed some light, if any were available. The new pictorial book by Brenda Fiddler has section on Civil War. Below is website for information about her book and briefly what is included. It is not just Henderson Co. TN and related to HeCoTn residents. www.tnyesterday.com I received a note from Brenda that said books may be mailed earlier than 01 Dec. If you find out about "Morning Sun", let us know, might be some useful information to those researching both counties. Hope this helps. Linda
