http://www.tngenweb.org/records/madison/cemeteries/bemis.htm http://www.tngenweb.org/records/madison/cemeteries/oakgrove.htm I know I said that I probably would not do any more Madison County cemeteries. However, in the very un-August weather last week I recorded Bemis and Oak Grove Methodist. Bemis Cemetery seemed very odd to me. I really did not get any sense of families there, even in a fully alphabetized list which groups all occurrence of a surname. There are a lot of infants and children who are in the cemetery but their parents are not. People who seem to be husband and wife any have several other burials between them. There are surnames which appear here but not in any other Madison County cemetery. All this is probably because the cemetery was part of the Bemis Brothers company town. The mill drew workers from surrounding counties but the workers may not have stayed in the area after their employment ceased. I also recorded Oak Grove Methodist Church Cemetery, a lovely shady cemetery in the Westover community. On page 92 of the cemetery book for the southern half of the county it states: "The Whitlow Family Cemetery was on the north [east] side next to the parking lot, but it is all one now." I have tried to separate out the Whitlow Family Cemetery. I did not plan for this when I recorded Oak Grove so I will try to get back to check it later in the week. David

David, you are so funny. Wish I could tromp around those cemeteries with you. I just love old cemeteries with big tombstones. Thanks for recording all of the information for those of us that can't come out there. ~Carolyn

I am using directiries and cemeteries pages created by someone else, requiring files named index.hml. If it was my choice (and it wasn't) I would not have multiple pages named index.html. It is far too easy to overwrite one (Madison records) with another (Madison cemeteries). I probably did the overwrite early Sunday morning when I uploaded Bemis, which I recorded early Saturday morning and late Saturday afternoon. In between I went to the libarary, had an early lunch with my cousin, and watched two movies. The temperature was wonderful much of last week but the UV index was not. I know I said I would not do any more Madison cemeteries but I lied. I did Oak Grove Methodist in the Westview community on Thursday but have not typed it. David

That must be the case with several on this page http://www.tngenweb.org/records/madison/ I know I found some of the family and thought it was from this page but now....maybe a Sr. moment or too many hrs online ; ) Peggy

http://www.tngenweb.org/records/chester/cemeteries/index.html I get careless at times. I had written the link as index.htm instead of index.html and obviously did not test the link. I fixed the link.

Does anyone know an Alvin Stobaugh who worked for the old Southern Bell Telephone Co in Jackson in the early 50's. He was transferred to Knoxville and was here in 1958. Do not know where he went when he left Knoxville. He is a descendant of Andrew Stobaugh of Montgomery Co VA and Perry Co TN. Mary June

Yes, that helps to clear it up. No. 1 Allen Hill is the one that settled in the Madison Hall area and started Cane Creek Church, right?

I also have Garrett ancestors that trace back to VA, probably Amelia Co in the mid-1700s. Do you have any other data on this family?

This is where i get those tings i just sent,They have nothing to do wity our family other than from the part of the countrey grandpa wagoner came from Lou

David, I have enjoyed reading your families pages for many years. They have been very helpful. I appreciate all your work.

Of the Madison County genweb pages I created, the most fun was the families page. I actually had started this page as part of my old Yesterday's Madison County web site. It was simply a list of links to online genealogies I had found. I enjoy surfing the web, so surfing looking for online Madison County genealogy was fun. It was my third page of this type. The families page was also the biggest pain in the neck. Web pages are ephemeral. You have to check the links periodically. I hated link checking. About half the time a page disappears, it is still online but has moved -- perhaps to another subdirectory, perhaps to a new server. I usually tried to refind a missing page When I ceased to be CC of Madison Co., the Families page was getting very dated. I have made one last final update, with new items, and placed it on my personal web site: http://www.netease.net/members/ddonahue/families.htm Some of the more interesting files I find when searching are almost trivial. One of the new links is: http://www.naturesync.com/~zoomastr/nance/misc/nancenews.html Nance in the News (from old Alabama newspapers), Sonia Nance Kinback This file has several mentions of Lucas Nance, one-time Jackson resident, whose first wife Mollie Rivers Nance (1844-1882) is buried at Riverside Cemetery (Lot 125). Not much genealogy; hovever, it does explain why Lucas is not buried beside Mollie -- he remarried, moved first to Russellville, AL, then moved to Fort Smith, AR. When I did genealogy before I started making web pages in 1997, I was always interested in where families went when they disappeared from Decatur or Henderson counties. This is carried over in the passing through segment of the families page for Madison Co. From some perverse reason I really enjoy finding web pages for these. The most interesting new link of this type is: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/rancho.pancho/Nichols.htm Nichols Family Genealogy, Claire Ortiz Hill This Nichols family was in Madison Co. ca. 1824-1830, then moved to Texas. This file is especially enjoyable because it contatins interesting selections from the journal of James Wilson (Jim) Nichols (1820- ). I have always assumed that the families page is a useful page, though I also am not sure that anyone but me looks at it. Maybe no one does. I should have placed a counter on it but I never did. If you are out there, enjoy web surfing, enjoy Madison Co. genealogy, and actually use this page, would you consider adopting it, placing it on your web site, and maintaining it? My other two families pages haven't been fully link checked since about 2002. David

http://www.rootsweb.com/~tncrocke/cemetery/mcclellan.html I just discovered an alphabetized version of Floyd and Helen Johnson's record of McClellan Cemetery on the Crockett County genweb page. It has had two photographs added. David

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JgB.2ACE/1104 Message Board Post: Looking for any information on the following family: Henry WOOD/Woods born Dec 1846 and and Susan PALMER born May 1852 married 1876 They had the following children: Rebecca born 1875 Richard T July 1878 Lizzie B Sept 1880 Martha July 1890 They were in Madison Co Tennessee District 16 at lease thru 1900. In the 1910 census I find Richard and Martha but not the others. Desire any and all information about this family.

http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~woolfolk/documents/lillagoodrichdiary_files/diary_of_lilla_intro.htm If you want an interesting read, try the diary of Lila Goodrich (Waynick) on Robert Woolfolk's Woolfork Homeplace web site. I read it in March or April and looked forward to linking it to the genweb page. He was having some problems with the photographs and graphics. Lila Goodrich lived near Claybrook. The diary records her daily life for the years 1909-1913. What I think I found most interessting is that she and future husband Charles Pearl Waynick seemed to have already been involved in a long cortship when the diaries started and it ran almost through all five years (they married in November 1913). I highly recommend it (the diary, not a five-year courtship). David

I do not keep an address book and usually get an address from another email. By accident I resent the "blast" emil which I had opened to get the adddress for this list. I was surfing the web tonight and found photographs of the Glidewell markers at Shady Grove. Two of the photos, though a bit dark (film speed probably too low), do a fairly good job of showing what the cemetery looks like. They were posted by Mary Ann Claxton. They also do a good job of showing why you should always take sidewalk chalk when visiting a cemetery, particularly if you plan to photograph markers. http://www.geocities.com/stonehuntr/stonehuntrwebpage/glidewellts.html She also has photographs of the Utley markers at Denmark Presbyterian Cemetery: http://www.geocities.com/stonehuntr/stonehuntrwebpage/utleyts.html David
