Bobby; Thanks for the information--this is important to know for all who search and don't find their ancestors' gravesites. In more than one of these older cemeteries there were people buried for whom there is no grave marker.

Dear Diane: The Liberty Grove church is a good clue! A lot of folks w/ last names matching those in the Hart journal are buried at Liberty Grove. A few of them I listed below. These are ones I'm related to. I would venture to guess that the "sisters" referred to is a form of a title, such as "sister Anna" or "sister Jones" which was used in some churches in the old days. I'm guessing at this, but as most of the names on the list were names found at the Liberty Grove cemetery, it would be logical. Anyone else have an idea in regard to this? I know the Lucinda Shaw mentioned is Lucinda Shaw Johnson, wife of Merrit Johnson, "mother of Addie & James" listed below. Lucinda was born in 1836 and married Johnson in 1876, so she would have been a Shaw in 1865-69. It is a treasure that you have, and I appreciate you posting it to the list. I would love a CD , and would be glad to pay the costs for it. Email me off list re: it. [email protected] Thanks Diane!

Nancy, This small ?? journal belonged to James Pleasant Hart b 1827 NC d. 1879 in Madison Co. The dated entries all appear to be from 1865-69. There is NO connection biologically to any of these ladies to my knowledge. Socially ??? In some of his things I have found record keeping of Liberty Grove Church. Possibility?? I just doubt if they are all blood kin. You are right there is an Allison connection but it came years later. James' son Guy Pleasant Hart b. 1873 married Judy Mainord in 1896 and Judy's grandmother on her father's side of the family was an Allison, BUT they were neighbors even back in the 1860's. I would not call it a diary. It is like a pocket calculator ...... lots of long division, adding, and such, used for note taking ....... lots of pages where it will say for example .... sold bacon to Thomas Littlepage 50 pounds $8.00. Or like the Mullins reference that I previously posted. I just thought it so neat to see some of the surnames we see doing Madison County research with SISTERS at the top of the page underlined. I saved an image of the sisters page on a CD if you would like it sent to you. Diane

Diane, My Joseph Johnson had a daughter named Nancy born in 1815. She would have been about 50 in 1865. This Nancy Johnson could also have been a granddaughter. He had many children. Ray Garland

First. I direct that my funeral expenses and all my delbts be paid as soon after my death as possible, out of any moneys that I may die possessed of or may first come into the hands of my executors. Secondly. I give and bequeath to Jackson James Mathew Stephen & Carrey Pate one tract of land lying and situate in Dyer County and State of Tennessee, containing three hundred and thirrty three acres the same on which Jackson & James Pate are now living to be equally divided amongst the above named five boys. Thirdly. I give and bequeath to Jane my daughter and Wiliam my son and also to my other daughters Polly, Elizabeth Nancy & Margaret one dollar each to be paid by my executor. Fourthly. I give and bequeath to my three youngest sons John, Samuel and George, all and singular the balance of whatever I may die possessed of to be equally divided amongst them except one feather bed and furniture tp my son John and also one feather bed and furniture to my son Samuel. Lastly. I do hereby nominate and appoint Elijah Simmons my executor. In wit??? whereof I go to this my last will set my hand and seal this 8th day of December in the year of our Lord 1844. Samuel Naill Signed sealed and published in our presence and we have subscribed our names hereto in the presence of the testator this 8th day of December 1844 James G. Mays Pomfreth Hart I got this from the Tn. state Library and Archives which I sent for. All children mentioned in will. Wife had already died (1842) so I think this was a new will. The Pate boys mentioned must be grandchildren. I think Samuel had brothers and sisters by the amount of additional information that is out there. John Nail had a son Milliard Nail and there is an article in a book about him also that I have. Don't know if this will help any but we can only keep trying and digging. Will keep you posted.

James Neely Thompson Carter Frederick Mayo JesseArmstead Harrison Johnson These names appear on the 1840 census in this order, same page. In 1850 they are on the same page again the order is: Harrison Johnson must be the son age 27 b. TN Jesse Armstead 55 b. VA Frederick Mayo 70 b. NC Thomas Carter 42 b. VA James Neely 46 b. NC James B. Neely was Executor to Frederick Mayo's estate. James B. Neely married Mary J.N. Hart 16 Dec 1828 They had a son born in TN 1833. Both Frederick Mayo Jesse Armstead and James B. Neely are in civil district 3 in 1838. Samuel Hart was also in civil district 3. Does anyone know of a connection between any of these indivuals. Thanks, Gayle

Dear Diane: This is very intriguing to me as I have some Johnsons I can't find much about, and Allison was a family name that ew're related to,as well as Lucinda Shaw, who I believe married Merritt Johnson, son of James ("Fiddler Jim" )Johnson. Which Hart did this diary belong to, and is it known if the Hart who wrote this was connected, bilogically or socially to these ladies? Thanks!

This book was being used, it looks like, 1865-69. Also, written in the book a couple of times and I thought interesting. Repentence is the turning away from tips and shadows.

Folks, under the subject Re: [TNMADISO] Boon/ Lacy I posted several Lucretia Lacys that I have in my data. After checking I find I had a terrible error and do not have a clue as to how it happened. Lucretia Lacy who married Hugh Ross Jr. was NOT the daughter of Stephen Lacy and his wife Sarah as I have directly below. She was the daughter of Thomas Lacy and his wife Keziah/Kessiah Griffith Lacy in the posting below the ==== Sorry about that, but glad I had to check it again. Maybe those cold shutdowns are responsible or gremlins. Becky WRONG 1. Jr. Hugh2 Ross (Hugh1) was born June 08, 1767 in ,SCT, and died November 12, 1849 in ,TN, Henderson Co., USA.

Jeanette, I have a complete book on the Dickson family and I know that part of them lived in Madison and Chester counties. I looked for your two names and need more information to find them. They may be listed without their wives. I would be glad to do look ups for you in the book. My ancestor's second marriage was to Isabel Dickson in Madison County. The family came from Pennsylvania by way of North Carolina. Connie

Thanks Becky! I knew if anyone could sort this out, you could!!! Sheri

In doing some look ups and I might be repeating something previously posted but I noticed this and could remember these surnames being mentioned previously on the list. It is not one of my Hart's.
