I have been researching my family in Macon, Trousdale, Smith, Sumner, Davidson & Robertson Counties (did I miss any?....hope not!) And since you mentioned Gammons, I find that I have 3 Gammon(s) in my tree from this general area. They are not of my direct line, but are Aunts/Uncles - I have quite a bit of descendant information on Ivory Alice GAMMON daughter of Richard GAMMON & Elizabeth STAFFORD. Ivory Alice married John James DYER (b. 9-1-1881,) on January 29, 1904 in Trousdale County. They had 9 children & one of their grandchildren is a genealogy researcher too. The other Gammons in my tree is one Dora GAMMONS b. December 01, 1877, d. August 25, 1955. She married my great granduncle, Samuel DICKENS, son of John C. DICKENS & Lucy F. EVETTS. I'd like more info on her if possible. In addition to the aforementioned DYER, GAMMON(S), EVETTS & DICKENS, I am interested in CLARDY/CLARIDY, EVITS, EMERSON, GOULD, KENT, HINES & MELVIN surnames. CHEERS! Allison Dickens Butler

I believe this is a Macon County Genealogy discussion group. And since there are a lot of Gammons in Macon County, you just might be related to some of them. There are a lot of folks who subscribe to this listserver, but most are fairly shy and retiring people who keep to themselves. Just like the Macon Countians. David Brawner

Dear List, This is my first message to the list, and I am researching the surname McCORMACK/McCORMICK. Are these folks familiar to anyone on this list? William McCORMICK enlisted in 30th Regiment TN Infantry at Red Boiling Springs on Oct. 22 1861, and died at Camp Butler IL on May 31, 1862. James William McCORMACK enlisted in the same Regiment on the same date and place. Also imprisoned at Camp Butler IL, but survived the Civil War. I believe that these two men were somehow related, but I am having trouble making a connection. Can anyone help with this? Thanks much, A.Fort

Looking for Lewis B. PIPER's ancestry. Born 1812 in Smith/Macon County I believe. His family or part of it later moved to Jefferson County Il. He married Lucinda ? born 1813 in Ky. He and Lucindia moved to Schuyler County Mo. around 1840-50. They and many other Pipers and buried in local cemeteries. The names Elijah, James and John repeat through several generations. I have information from Lewis to current. -- Ron "Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out."

Your absolutely right about the Subjectg LIne; that is critical when sorting e-mail. In my own personal experience, I've found that it's all too easy to subscribe to so many lists that I don't consistently participate, which is what it's all about. I think sometimes Rootsweb should annualy UNSUB everyone, and give us some serious choices to ReMake - just joking. Helen D.
