I just have a feeling there is probably a connection between your Blackwells & Bakers to mine. I'm on the road right now; so I'm away from my paperwork. You might take a look at my website & see if any of the names jump out at you: www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/anthonymayberry/MAYBERRY/ I do have two Nancy Blackwell's. Humphries & Hickman Counties border each other. And I know some of my Blackwells were in Humphries County.

Each Roots Cellar entry defines a single person with a name, date, event and locality, and links that man or woman to the genealogist working on that family line, along with his or her address. Years in the making, Everton's Roots Cellar has been available for purchase or by subscription for some time.

Does anyone know who Josephine and Thomas Rye's parents were? They were 6 and 4 yrs. old in the 1850 Humphreys Co. Census enumerated with Thomas Laris and not on the census index. I have one Josephine who married Jesse Miller (no date). Is this the same one? Thanks, Elsie

Ok, now I need help sorting out my Turners; My grandfather was Braden Kirklin Turner, b. 2-14-1886, d. 11-19-1979, m. Della Elizabeth Brazzell. His parents were James Howard Turner, b. 1-29-1861, d. 11-3-1941, m. Cora Frances Seals. James Howard`s parents according to death certificate was Dillard Turner and Darthula Hayes. I know nothing about this Dillard as far as dates go or family. Have found a Dillard Turner m. Emma D. Hayes, 7-5-1856 in Dickson Co., also found in census a Richard Dillard and a William Dillard. Can anyone give me more info on my Dillard. Faye Keele

Can you all believe in less than 3 months we will be having our Danville Crossing Homecoming 2000 ! ? We need to be sure everyone who wants to stay at the Lodge at Paris Landing has booked a room before they are all gone. Call 1-800-250-8614. Be sure to tell them you are with the Danville Crossing group, as they are trying to put us all in a section, not all scattered throughout the lodge. If you are staying in that area at another motel, go one and make reservations asap, so none of you are left out!! WE have had to make a change in the catfish dinner, from Friday night to Saturday night. I think it will work out as well or better. It is still the same yummy menu'____ catfish, slaw, potato salad, hushpuppies, fried okra and lemon pie, with tea and coffee____ and is $13.50/each person age 4 and up. (Tax and tip are included.) We are working on games and maps and interesting programs for you and plan to have each Geealogical Society in the Danville Crossing area counties represented, for membership information and to share what they have for sale to help in your research. The $10 dues for the 3 day event needs to be mailed in, along with dinner money so we can reserve a room for it and know how many are coming. Send it to: Danville Crossing Homecoming 2000 P O Box 47047 Jacksonville, FL 32247-7047 Please include your surnames in the area and counties of interest so we can have name tags made and enough county information on hand. I can hardly wait! Cacky

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.

I am now being told by "the legal ones", that the formerly-referred-to $10 is not a "registration fee", but dues to Danville Crossing, to comply with some Tennessee Statute. I don't see the difference, but am told there IS one! ( boy, the things you learn when not trying to!) Cacky

That includes a spouse or other guest. On Friday night, ( June 23 rd), there will be a catfish supper and few awards will be given out at that time.

Children Altemira, William, James, Isaac, Nancy & John (not listed by age) Isaac moved to Stewart county around 1870 but I don't know what happened to the rest of the family. Would like any info.

Shoot! How in the world did those extra letters get in there on the Beasley surname? Sorry, folks - the surname is either BEAZLEY or BEASLEY. My fingers are playing weird tunes tonight, I guess. Here's what I meant to write: << Does anyone on the list know anything about Mary Gilbert, who married William F. Beazley/Beasley Jr 3 Oct 1862 in Humphreys County? They had at least two sons, Wesley (abt 1864-)and Bedford F. Beasley (abt 1867-). Wesley married F. E. Gilmer 30 Dec 1883 in Humphreys County, and I know nothing more about Bedford. Would sure like to know more about this family. Thanks. Jean Stringham >>
