.http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/index.html I have checked and updated Oak Grove Cemetery in Middleburg. I had checked and updated the cemetery in 2001 but that update was one of the files lost in the 2002 server crash. Sidewalk chalk really helps in reading markers. The most important thing is that the chalk allowed me to read and correct the death date for Sharwood Johnson. Hopefully it will rain soon because I used every piece of chalk I had, including green, purple, and pink. Also newly online is a 12-year update of Evans and new cemeteries Emanuel and Fairview.

This probably is not enough Christenberry to fool with. It is just that the first Christenberry inquiry came the day after I checked and updated New Hope where one of George Christenberry's daughters is buried and I opened my mouth (or rather moved my fingers on the keyboard).

Could you send me the info you have on Christenberry family? I am related to the Christenberry family and the Carter family that intermarried into it from the Decaturville area. Any info would be greatly appreciated? I have a Thomas, William, and a J.G. W. (Dr. James George Washington)Christenberrry just to name a few.

http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/index.html Joy Beth Cambell has provided a 28-year update of Ridge Grove Cemetery. This cemetery is available in both survey order and alphabetized versions. Also online is a 28-year update of the samll Adams family cemetery.

I do not know anything about the family. I follow two descendant lines of the family of George H. Christenberry (1835-1914). By 1870 he was living in the Decaturville area but he had a daughter (d. 1861) buried at New Hope cemetery in the Shady Hill community of Henderson Co. If anyone discussing Christenberry could use the information I will send it. David

http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/index.html I have replaced three small cemeteries lost in 2002 -- Flake, Flat Creek, and Lindsey. Joy Beth Campbell did six-year updates of Poplar Corner and Center Ridge.

Sarah and J.M. had children: John Calvin Carter, b. 1859, Mahala, abt. 1863 and Jennie. Here is the problem: John Calvin, Mahala and Jennie live with William Christenberry after the civil war. There is no sign of either parent. In the above 1860 census, you'll see J.G.W. Chrsitenberry is living with Jesse and Elizabeth Carter, parents of J.M. Carter who maried Sarah Christenberry. Is J.G.W. Sarah's brother? How does he fit in this picture?

http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/index.html I had a deja vu experience this weekend. I was redoing New Hope Cemetery to replace the lost 2001 update. I was about four rows into it when I sort of said to myself, "Boy David, you did a lousy job on this cemetery." And suddenly I recalled thinking the same thing in the same spot in 2001. There is a 13-year update of New Hope, an 8-year update of Center Hill, a 12-year update of Jones, and a 9-year update of the black McHaney.
