I'm game! Not all of my information is confirmed. What is not confirmed is .. William H. Holliday and Deborah Murrie Confirmed: Son: William C. Holliday, born 1842-1844 in Paris/Henry/TN m. Josephene Brown Son: (Leaman?) Guy Holliday (born 1879 Metropolis/Masac/IL) m. Florence Lillian Simmons 1908 in McCracken Co. KY Next generations still living. I'm looking for information on the William's. Anyone Like to do some lookup for me? I do some lookup work in Butte Co. CA where I live. Its been fun. It amazing how much you can find when you're right there. Donna

Hi folks, I'm on several lists, and one of them did something I think it would be good for all of us to do, to get to know each other better and maybe help each other. Let's all give the list a lineage of ourselves and tell what (who) we are looking for, and see who comes up with a good connection. This is me below: George SAMPSON came from somewhere in Virginia. Meddie FINCH came from somewhere in North Carolina. They married in Henry County Tn. on 11-16-1868. Meddie's parents were John FINCH and Jerusha (?). George and Meddie had a son, Henry Lafayette Sampson on Nov 5, 1875 in Mineral Wells, now under Ky. Lake. Henry married Etta Maude SUGGS on May 25, 1904 in Mayfield, Ky. He died there on Oct 7, 1942. George and Meddie also had Lala, Emma, Maude, George, and Mattie May. Mattie was born in 1883, died in May, 1963. She lived near Mayfield, Ky. I am David Lee Ray, Henry and Maude's grandson, through their daughter Frances Mae Sampson and Alvis David Ray. That makes George and Meddie my great grandparents, and I'm looking for more info on them and their ancestors. Would also like anything I can get on siblings, spouses, whatever. Check out my page at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/8392/ for more! Follow some of the links, and you will know me a little better. Now, who's next?

To clarify.. The Paris Landing lodge is to cater the BBQ Picnic for us... in order for them to do that I must make a reservation for our group. Sorry if my prev mssage was unclear. Cher

In order to RESERVE the Lodge for the meal on Saturday the 26th of June I MUST have your confirmation. I MUST have 50 people . Right now I have 26 confirmations.. and 50 people on the list of attendendees.... I need to hear from you other 24 to plan for that dinner at the lodge... otherwise I will regroup and arrange for the 26 of us to have dinner together on Sat nite. I dont want you left out but, the lodge will not reserve that date with out a commitment much longer. Please notify me that your want to have a meal with us Sat nite and if you want ribs, OR chicken OR pork BBQ OR dogs and burgers... and how many in your group....I will then count the vote and choose . Thanks... Cher

Pat, The OLIVE - Williams connection in Henry Co. is very mis-understood. Most early Williams researchers apparently didn't research very well, ignored or didn't understand the 'public record' data concerning Martha & Nancy Olives' relationship with the Williams families with whom they lived. Compounding the problem, is the confusing data concerning the origins of both the William M. Williams and John Leonard Williams families in Henry Co., though it is obvious that the 2 families are related. I have included below some excerpts from the 'public records' to demonstrate the problem. Nancy OLIVE Williams is my wife's 2g-grandmother as well as her 3g-aunt. This wierd relationship developed as a result (detailed below) of the heavy inter-marrying of the descendants of both the William M. Williams and John Leonard Williams families amongst each other and the Wimberley families. I have not yet determined the exact relationship between Martha & Nancy Olive, or how they came to be in the different Williams households. I need yet to review the Court Minutes of Henry Co. to be sure, but suspect that Martha & Nancy were orphaned and subsequently 'welfared' to the respective Williams families under the Orphan & Pauper laws of the County. One of the Goodspeed references gives the following: "In the fifteenth District {of Henry Co.} the most prominent and earliest families to settle were the Williams, the Arnolds, the Olivers, and the Tiptons, this last family has been mentioned earlier in our history. "William M. Williams, a substantial farmer and his wife Nancy, had a family of small children in 1850. Living with them was Martha OLIVE age 17 a native of Tennessee. {the TN reference is different than your Kentucky} "John H. Williams, Jr., age 25, a native of Mississippi was residing here also. His wife Elizabeth age 22 was also born in Mississippi, and they had a family of young children. Living with them was Nancy OLIVE. "Frequently the name Oliver and OLIVE are confused. It seems quite likely that both families were represented in Henry County some time before 1850. A detailed study of these two names may prove that they descend from a common ancestor: however, what I have at this time is clearly definites one as Olive and the other as Oliver. The two above mentioned Nancy and Martha are definitely shown as OLIVE......." The 1850 Census clearly shows this difference also. The following is a listing of the John Leonard WILLIAMS Family of Henry Co, TN. As you review the chart you notice that John Henry Williams' son married William M. Williams youngest daughter. Additionally, you will notice that William M. Williams' name is quite prevalent among John Henry's descendants. Also, please notice that Nancy OLIVE Williams named her 1st daughter, Martha Olive Shelly Wimberly, after Martha OLIVE. I would appreciate sharing any information you may be able to provide concerning the origins of the OLIVEs. Current Williams researchers, including my father-in-law who volunteers every Wednesday at the Rhea Library in the Genealogy section, are content to let the "myth" concerning Martha & Nancy continue, as well as, sorting out the various birthplaces of Tenneessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, etc. Anyway, hope this helps & let me know, Dave BTW: I believe William M. Williams middle name is Monroe. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1.

Hi List: I've been a member of this list for about a month and have seen less than a dozen postings so I gather that y'all are an intimate bunch, "Not there's anything wrong with that". But I feel it's time to post my interest in the hope that someone there will have some clue about my grandmother, Ada, (Addie) Jenkins. Ada, according to a senior cousin of mine was born in Paris, Tennessee. That's what she had heard. My knowledge of her is scant at best, but miracles do happen! What I know for sure is that Ada married my grandfather, James Alfred Gummoe at Davidson Co. Tennessee in 1891. This is a matter of record. James and Ada had four children: Wade Gummoe, Edward Gummoe, John Corwin Gummoe (my father) and Ruth Gummoe. I have found James living in Indianapolis, Indiana in the 1900 Federal census, but enumerated as a border, not a husband. James by the way, came from Cornwall, England around 1880. He was born there in 1862; this also being a matter of record. The story goes that James jumped ship in New York and lived as an illegal alien for 30 years or so, but eventually became a naturalized citizen. But James is not my problem. Ada and James lived their senior years in Cleveland, Ohio, Ada passing on in 1936, before I was born, so I never knew her. I have no knowledge of siblings she may or may not have had. She has always been remembered by the family as a stern, scowling woman who almost never smiled, but in spite of her reputation, I'd like to at least find out a little more about her. Can anyone help? Warmest Regards, John Claude Gummoe

We have two options for Saturday nites cookout/bbq... We can have the Lodge cater it.. or some volunteers and I will go to Paris and pick up a carry out from a bbq house and market for chips etc.. The advantage of the Lodge doing it is they provide it all. An all you can eat BBQ ribs, hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, rolls coffee and tea. They provide plates , cups, condiments, etc,,, and set up. $11.00 plus tax and tip All you can eat BBQ chicken, hot dogs and hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, rolls coffee and tea. They provide plates , cups, condiments, etc,,, and set up. $9.95 plus tax and tip. Hot dogs and hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, rolls coffee and tea. They provide plates , cups, condiments, etc,,, and set up. $6.95 plus tax and tip. If I do it, I will have to order (pay in advance)... go get it ... have an ice chest and ice, supply condiments and plates, forks, and cups and soft drinks... I can keep it warm with the help of some good fire starters (vbg).. use grills at the park... and large alum. throw away pans.. NOW.. I really dont mind doing this IF I have help... REALLY. I can get pot salad and Baked beans at the BBQ house and pick up a veggie tray at Krogers... or where ever. The price is to be determined.. Probably the Paris Landing Lodge providing the food is most logical.. They did say they could get Pork BBQ... if that was what we wanted. OK,,,,,,,, Now it is thrown up in the air.. you all wake up and talk to me....or you could be eating chocolate gravy and biscuits.. <vbg> Cher

Well... I really did it this time.. I lost the email addy of my Henry County volunteer... she maybe lucky for a while...but I will find her<vbg> Please contact me.. I really need to talk to you and I lost a bunch of email this week... (that is how I lost you) Cher DC Committee

Having looked at some USGS maps of part of District 15, and a scanned map of district boundaries kindly sent by Carol Hehemann, I'm a little discouraged about making a trip to try to find more about my ancestor James ARNOLD (in Henry before 1854). It looks very likely that his land is under water (no thanks to the Tennessee Valley dams). I've gone through the microfilm of deeds provided by the LDS, and he's not mentioned. So my question is, can anyone tell me if there's much prospect of finding anything more than what's on LDS microfilm, maybe at the courthouse, or at the county library? Jim

Secret Food????? I am scared!!! Carol
