    3. The Fitts cemetery is awfully small isn't it? There are five burials listed in the Trousdale County, TN Cemetery book. William P. Fitts, Dr. T.W. Fitts son of Sanford (Sam) and Tabitha Hughes, H.L. "Harriett L. Bell" Fitts, J.B. Fitts (infant grave d. 1902) and Isabel Fitts (infant grave c. 1900) If you are interested in this book I believe you can find ordering information at http://ridgerunnerpublications.50megs.com or you might try contacting Betty M. Scott who may be able to give you more information. E-mail me off list for her address. Shelta ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenda K.

    3. Shelta, Thanks for advising the group about this virus. I have received it about a dozen times so far. Thanks to my antivirus software, my computer has not been infected. The virus has always come in as an attachment to an email. You're right in saying that the message of the email is either empty or very short. I would advise folks to never open an attachment to an email they may receive if they do not know where the email is coming from. Alton Jenkins Cincinnati, OH

    2. Shelta Shrum
    3. Recently I have been getting a lot of e-mail with attachments from people I don't know. Since I have had a few virus attacks one of which took out my harddrive, I have a new policy as far as opening e-mail attachments. I don't open them unless I am expecting something. So please, I ask that if you send something for me to use on a website, be sure to let me know that I should be expecting something. It's a shame to have to do this, but it's like going to your mailbox anymore you don't know if you are going to have a bomb in there or anthrax. Shelta

    1. [TNMACON] Free Civil War genealogy workshop, Clarksville, TN, May 25
    2. East Tennessee Historical Society
    3. Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans. Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s home state. Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story. The workshop is co-sponsored locally by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library. For additional information about the free workshop contact the CMCPL at 931-648-8826 or contact ETHS at 865-215-8824. The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of the region. The society’s activities and exhibits are made possible through the support of its membership. For additional information about the genealogy workshops, membership, or other ETHS programs, call 865-215-8824, or visit the historical society’s web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org

    3. Hi Curt, Thank you for your responses as I found them most interesting. I am sorry but I do not have any records on James Newton Parker or brother Richard Parker however I do think there is a connection between this Parker family and the Parker family I have been researching. As we all know there were a lot of Parker folk down in TN migrating from VA and NC. They were all related one way or another. I have been working with a group of PARKER cousins researching Dempsey Parker b. 1787 Northampton County, NC d. Mar 1873 Sumner County, TN m. 16 Dec 1815 Dixon Springs, Smith County, TN Frances Hargis b. 1798 probably TN d. after 1871 Sumner County, TN. Dempsey/Frances Hargis Parker had 11 children according to their youngest son Daniel Webster Parker's Eastern Cherokees Application (rec'd Apr 1, 1907 by the Indian Office) which was one of many applications made by the descendants of Jennie Jacobs who was suppose to have been a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Daniel Webster Parker accounted for 6 brothers: Ira Simon, Harvey Burton, James G., Isaac Newton, Elvis Brooks, and Alfred as well as 4 sisters whom he did not name. Our group knows two of the names were Catherine and Frances. If anyone out there knows the names of the other two daughters of Dempsey/Frances Hargis Parker they would be gratefully appreciated. According to a census one daughter was born between 1820-1825 an! d the other between 1825-1830. We do not know the siblings of Dempsey Parker (Mills or Miles Parker, Dempsey Parker, Daniel Parker, Richard Parker III, Richard Parker II, Richard Parker I, James Parker, William Parker, and I have names of 9 more generations.) We do have listed a possible 3 brothers and 1 sister (there probably are more as families tend to be large back in those days) as Dempsey Parker's siblings. Now I am wondering with the info you gave me if William Parker, Sr. or Jr. might be one of the siblings??? It was noted in one of Cal's Columns that Dempsey Parker had descendants in the banking business. I know one was named William Parker and I think the other was Luther Parker. Can you give me any birth dates and or places? Any info would be gratefully appreciated.

It is now in Macon County but right on the Smith/Macon county line. Family rumor is that James Newton went to Red Boiling Springs and joined the army. He died (apparently from a disease) in December 1863. Polly Ann then married his older brother, Richard.
