Our Good friend Mary Ann Claxton, gathered this information for us.. If you are a Henry Co researcher... you will want a copy of this site.. Cher >The following site has a list of books which will be available from >Henry County during the Danville Crossing get-together (there may be >others from attendees which I do not know of, but these I will have >there) and a map of downtown with main locations marked. > >http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/8115/dancross.htm >

Hey! I have a new text on researching Civil War Genealogy for the auction.... and a 'gently' used Goodspeed on Houston Co.. Got me to thinking... What would be wrong with a 'gently' used text for the auction? I don't see a problem with it..as long as it hasn't been used to whip the dog... or been a coaster for your tea...<bg> So if you have some text you have gleaned info from and dont really want ... bring em on.. Have you been thinking about what else you could donate? Hope so... We wanta have some fine worldly goods there...

Hello, I recently had a problem with my email and lost the last 2 1/2 months. I know a few of you wrote to me regarding my lines, but they are now gone. Whom ever wrote regarding: CARUTHERS/PORTER/DANCY/BURGESS/BENESCH/DRAPER in MS, MO, NY, CO, IN, TN, NC Please write to me again! Thanks! Bonnie J. Caruthers

Thank you so much for your reply! I think the name must be a mistake...I have located Peter and wife Mary on the 1850 Census living in Weakley Cty. TN, with my great-grandfather Julius who would have been 11 at the time. On the listing, he is written as "Inkas" (???) which is again, probably a mistake (unless it was a pet name). The birthdates and places match, so I am sure it is the right Gale. Do you have any suggestions about other documents that might list his exact place of birth? I am trying to track down as many Gales as I can, hopefully to find out where in Great Britain the family came from (and get all the information I can about all the family along the way). I am just starting out in my searching - a cousin of mine has been doing this for some years, but she isn't nearby, nor is she on-line. It's wonderful to have so much access to both information and people! Thanks again for your help! Juliane Gale Bertagne >Juliane, > According to the marriage indexes his name is listed as Peter F. Gales. >But to answer your question you would write to the Henry Co., Court house >and ask them to send you a copy. Tell them it is in Book 1838-1845.

Hello, I have just joined this list in hopes of finding some information on my great-great-grandfather, Peter F. Gale, born in 1814, and my great-great-grandmother, Mary Jones, born in 1807. I know that they were married in Henry, I believe in the town, on September 15, 1838. Can anyone tell me how to go about getting their marriage certificate, if it exists? I obtained the date from the Latter-Day Saint genealogy site. Peter F. Gale was born in North Carolina, and Mary Jones was born in Kentucky, if that is any help. I'd like to get more information about his parents, where exactly he was born, what he did, etc. Thank you for your help. Juliane Gale Bertagne

We will have quite a few books FOR SALE at the during the Homecoming... It looks like a good representation will be available... Especially Sat evening. REMEMBER THE PURCHASES ARE CASH, OR CHECK.... ONLY. We do not have the facilities to handle charge cards.... SO make a note now to come prepared.. because you will want some of these !!! We have really worked hard to get a good collection of material.. so come ready! Cher

Here is a message from Jean Gilley... and what she found... I RECOMMEND HANES.. (anyone in Ky should know why!) <SNIP> Just got back from Walmart. They had both Fruit of the Loom and Hanes tee shirts without pockets for about $4.00 each. I think Hanes were a few cents more than Fruit of the Loom. Don't know if other Walmarts have similiar sales. These shirts were folded, not on hanging racks. <SNIP>

Sorry for another post today... I am really NOT trying to annoy or fill your boxes!! Honest!! A point has been made and it is excellent. ********************************* While you have time.. look for old pix to bring... many of us share relatives and it could really help somebody . ********************************* So add that to your list of things to remember to bring... so start rooting thru the photo box and put them in the suitcase with the Tee shirt and cds. and reams of data!!! Thanks... No more today... I promise! Cher
