Several months ago, someone asked me where to get copies of the Village Messenger newspaper which was published in published: Fayetteville, Tenn. by Ebenezer Hill, [1823-1828]. I apologize that I don't remember who and right at this moment my email program won't let me into my saved messages folder. ARGH! :-) One of the places to see copies of this newspaper is your local Family History Center library. You can order the microfilm sent to your town. http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=398874&disp=Village+messenger+%28Fayetteville%2C+Ten%20%20&columns=*,0,0 (Sort of soapbox): Some people are reluctant to use the Family History Centers. I have been using them fore over 15 years and they have a very comprehensive collection of LCT books and resources. This library is available to all faiths. For instance, I am not LDS but have always been welcomed at these libraries. I wish more people would take advantage of the genealogical holdings there. (end soapbox) Also, if you look in the archives of this list, Linda Parrish submitted tidbits from the Village Messenger. I thought these were online somewhere but can't find the link. Diane
