RE: "Elizabeth Barrett whom I believe died in 1900 in Henderson  Tennessee" There was no obituary for Elizabeth Barrett or anyone with last name Barrett in the book "Crossing the Dark River" by Brenda Fiddler. It doesn't necessarily mean there is no obituary for her, just that there was none in this book. Obituaries of HeCoTn 1827 - 1952. If she was buried in HeCoTn, then you might check online cemetery records: http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/index.html ++++++++++++ RE: "I am trying to find a obituary on Nancy Elizabeth Austin.  She lived  in Henderson County in Sardis Tennessee and her date of death was  11-25-1981." The Everett Horn Library, Lexington, TN, doesn't do lookups but that is where microfilms of the newspaper, "The Lexington Progress", are located for 1981. Check on www.raogk.com, I believe there is a volunteer for Henderson Co. TN that does lookups of some records. The Tennessee State Library, Nashville, TN, might have 1981 of "The Lexington Progress". Go to www.google.com, search for the library and you can email them to ask them if they have it. It costs between $10-$15 for search. Another choice, email Tennessee Room at Jackson/Madison County TN library, volunteers do lookups. Some obituaries/deaths of Sardis, TN and Henderson Co. TN appeared in "The Jackson Sun" newspaper. Their email address: tnroom@aeneas.net ++++++++++++++++ RE: "I am also searching for any information on a Bennett Jones whom I only have a guessed date of death as 1938 in Tiptonville, Tennessee" Tiptonville, TN, is located in Lake County, TN, visit their website <A HREF="http://web5.ecsis.net/~lmoore/">LAKE COUNTY</A> http://web5.ecsis.net/~lmoore/ Post message on www.rootsweb.com, Lake County TN, asking for lookup. Also, might check with Tiptonville newspaper "Lake County Banner" to see if they have the obituary. It will cost to get obituary from newspaper. http://www.lakecountybanner.com/ I would also check on www.raogk.org to see if there is a volunteer doing lookups for Lake Co TN. It might save you some money. Good luck.
