Hello Gordon, I'm sorry to say I couldn't wait for the remakes and paid $52.00 for a reprint at some publisher I'll never use again! My copy has no index! Would be interested in copies or page numbers for CAMPBELL; MARTIN; PACE, TARKINGTON; and COLEMANS. Also do you know if there are any works on reprinting the Hickman Co. Cemetery Book Volume I?

Hi Tonja, I don't believe there are new additions, correction or information. It is just a new reprint in hardcover. I am afraid I can't help you with directions you seek. Have you asked the list? Perhaps some kind soul (SKS) who is a local can help. I know there are quite a few on our fine list.

East Tennessee Historical Society Hosts Genealogy Conference and Family Reunion Celebration The sons and daughters of Tennessee's pioneer founders are heading home this Memorial Day weekend. The East Tennessee Historical Society (ETHS) is hosting a weekend-long genealogy conference and family history fair, May 26-28, in Knoxville, Tennessee. A highlight of the conference will be a "family reunion" of members of the society's family heritage project, First Families of Tennessee (FFT)the debut of a new First Families of Tennessee book. Guests attending the conference will face a wide variety of options and activities, including a two-day genealogy conference featuring national and regional experts, a family history fair and street party in downtown Knoxville, motorcoach tours of historic East Tennessee sites, and a "family reunion" dinner at the home of Tennessee's first governor, John Sevier. The genealogy conference, held at Knoxville's Hilton Hotel, May 26-27, will examine Southeastern "roots and routes" - focusing on our ancestors and their migrations into and out of East Tennessee. Guest speakers will discuss a variety of topics including Scots-Irish research, Cherokee genealogy, Tennessee land records, Tennesseans in the California gold rush, frontier religion, and more. Experts will also discuss research topics in states associated with Tennessee's earliest residents, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Descendants of Tennessee's first families will celebrate the publication of the East Tennessee Historical Society's newest book, First Families of Tennessee: A Register of Early Settlers and Their Descendants. The book, a tribute to the ancestors enrolled in the FFT project, will include names and vital stats of the more than 2,000 ancestors enrolled in the project, along with a registry of FFT members. The book will be unveiled in a special ceremony and will be available for purchase at the history conference. Guest speakers will include Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Charles Sherrill of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Russell Baker, Robert Davis, historian Walter Durham, and other experts on a variety of genealogical and historical topics. In addition to the multi-track genealogy conference, ETHS will host a genealogy and family history fair featuring mini-workshops for beginners, vendor displays, tours of local historic sites, carriage and trolley rides in downtown Knoxville, and living history demonstrations. The fair will also include a downtown street party outside the historical society's headquarters with live music, dramatic performances, historic reenactments, children's activities and more. While the theme of the weekend will be built around a family reunion of First Families of Tennessee members, attendance at all the events is open to anyone with an interest in history and genealogy. The First Families of Tennessee was founded by the East Tennessee Historical Society in 1993 to honor the state's early residents and to recognize their descendants. The program is open to those who can prove descent from a person living in any part of Tennessee by 1796. Housed in Knoxville's Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection, the First Families of Tennessee files provide a one-of-a-kind resource for historical and genealogical research. For additional information about ETHS, the First Families of Tennessee project, or the upcoming genealogy conference and First Families of Tennessee reunion, visit the historical society's website at www.east-tennessee-history.org # # #

I am seeking information on the marrige of James R. McMeans (179?-1841) of Vernon and later Centerville,TN to the widow of Captain '?' Porter of Vernon, who was a veteran of The War of 1812. Evidently, Mrs Porter was the sister of the wife of John G. Easley, who operated a hotel at Centerville. I'd truly appreciate anything that vaguely pertains to these folks! Thanks for your time. John Porter McMeans

The same way with Humphreys Co., some that were in Hickman were then listed in Humphreys after 1809.. This so complicates a search for those ellusive ancestors that old history books help in locating a lot.. Jerome Spence of Hickman Co traveled around the county staying with different families and wrote a history of each district, giving loads of family histories...He published this in 1899 however it was not indexed..Of course, those books have almost disappeared. Many years ago it was reprinted in a paperback edition but those have been out of print for some time now.. Last week the Hickman County Historical Society received a reprint in hardcover and fully indexed. I do not know the number they had printed but do not believe it was a huge amount...If anyone is int

Lillian Bernice WHITWELL was born 13 June 1912 in Bennett, Ripley Co MO, the third of five daughters (Katherine Adeline, Frankie Bell, Leila Jewell, Georgia Ann) born to Mervin Allen WHTIWELL (20 May 1884 Bennett, Ripley Co MO - 21 January 1921, Chelsea, Rogers Co OK) and Myrtle Estelle "Jo" MOORE (16 March 1885 Paris, Lafayette Co MS - 28 April 1963 St Louis MO). Both parents are descendants of William WHITWELL (30 April 1799 KY - 31 July 1877 Hickman Co TN) and Rebecca Curry ( 24 October 1797 GA - 6 November 1854 Hickman Co TN). Bernice, as she preferred to be called, was only eight when her father died. Shortly thereafter her mother married an uncle and Bernice and two of her sisters were sent to St Louis to live in the Masonic Children's Home. In 1933 Bernice married Lawrence Joseph WINKELER (17 July 1913 St Louis MO - 31 July 1979 St Louis MO) and in 1939 their only child, Larry Allen, was born. Bernice was an active member of the Eastern Star. She was a talented hairdresser, seamstress and cook. Bernice died 1 October 1959 in St Louis MO five months before the birth of her first granddaughter. An event she was eagerly planning for. Bernice and Lawrence are buried in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St Louis Co MO.
