Hi, Does anyone on the list know of someone that is researching the EDGAR surname? Roy L. Edgar

"I WANT" I want ancestors with names like Rudimentary Montagnard or Melchizenick von Steubenhoffmannschild or Spetznatz Giafortoni, not William Brown or John Hunter or Mary Abbott. I want ancestors who could read and write, had their children baptized in recognized houses of worship, went to school, purchased land, left detailed wills (naming a huge extended family as legatees), had their photographs taken once a year -- subsequently putting said pictures in elaborate isinglass frames annotated with calligraphic inscriptions, and carved voluble and informative inscriptions in their headstones. I want relatives who managed to bury their predecessors in established, still-extant (and indexed) cemeteries. I want family members who wrote memoirs, who enlisted in the military as officers and who served in strategically important (and well documented) skirmishes. I want relatives who served as councilmen, schoolteachers, county clerks and town historians. I want relatives who `religiously' wrote in the family Bible, journaling every little event and detailing the familial relationship of every visitor. In the case of immigrant progenitors, I want them to have arrived only in those years wherein passenger lists were indexed by National Archives, and I want them to have applied for citizenship, and to have done so only in those jurisdictions which have since established indices. I want relatives who were patriotic and clubby, who joined every patrimonial society they could find, who kept diaries, and listed all their addresses, who had paintings made of their houses, and who dated every piece of paper they touched. I want forebears who were wealthy enough to afford, and to keep for generations, the tribal homestead, and who left all the aforementioned pictures and diaries and journals intact in the library. But most of all, I want relatives I can FIND!!!

I am looking for my GGG Grandmother Cynthia (Cinthia) Wilson. She was born in TN, probably Henry Co. between 1815-1819. She married Isaac Ferguson on Feb 1, 1844 in Henry Co. She and Isaac moved to Calloway Co. KY. They were listed there in the 1850 census. They have not been located for the 1860 census. Cynthia was back in Henry Co., as the Head of Household in 1870. She died in 1913 in Henry Co. I have been unable to locate Cynthia's parents. Her G grandson who is still living, thinks he remembers the family saying that Cynthia was Native American, but he can't remember anything else about her family. ANY HELP would be appreciated. Debbie

Looking for information on a Thomas Brannon born in Kentucky about 1818 who is in Henry County Tennessee by 1840. In the census he is living close to another Thomas Brannon who was born about 1770-80, presumedly his father. The younger Thomas is in Calloway County, Kentucky in the 1850 census with his wife Martha and their children. He probably died before 1860 as Martha is back in Henry County in 1860 without him. Does anyone have any Brannons that were in Kentucky about 1820 that might be related to these folks?

I got the following off another list and is a good web page for information about Search Engines. Thought it might come in handy for some. It was put together by Dana Thomas, the Cass County, Texas TXGenWeb County Coordinator. http://members.aol.com/TreeCrazyD/search.htm

Just wondering if any of you live in Paris TN that may be able to do a look up for me the next time they are doing some research. It would be on the BINYON family from my previous emails.

I noticed this listed in the TSLA holdings. How do I get information about this paper? Since it was in print in 1847, it may say something about my BINYON ancestors.

In the "BILLINGSLEY BOOK" it gives William B. BINYON and Lydia J. TURNER BINYON as having their son, Paschal, born 1847 Paris, Henry Co. TN. Is there any records, books, articles of any source for the people in Paris at that time? Does anyone have access to any sources that could help me?

Jan: Your Walkers don't sound familiar to me, but I have just started researching the Walkers so I don't have much information. My gggrandmother, Elizabeth C. WALKER (b. 1 Nov. 1820 TN; d. 1 Mar. 1898, Henry County TN) married William F. ENGLAND in 1848, Henry County TN. They are both buried in the Walker Cemetery near Cottage Grove, Henry County TN. Buried right near them is James Walker, b. 4 Jul. 1794, d. 25 Feb. 1860. Next is Sarah wife of James Walker d. 1 Nov. 1858 56 y 7m's 5 d's. Next is Isabella R., wife of James Walker b. 22 Sept. 1800, d.16 Aug. 1846. Next Andrew A. son of J. & Isabella R. Walker d. 5 Sept, 1853 26 y 7 m's 8 d's. Next William Walker 1825-1894 and his wife Lauinai. This leads me to believe this might be her family. I would think that Isabella & James are her parents and Andrew & William might be brothers. the dates all seem to fit. Also Elizabeth had a daughter named Isabella. Do any of these names sound familiar to you? Thank you, Andrea Padula

Researching above folks in Henry County, as well as Calloway County, KT, and Shannon County, Missouri. Very happy to share information. Thank you. Curt Overcast cmover@earthlink.net
