Im not sure if any of the 1890 census can be found for the counties you seek, you may need to check out Tax lists, or deeds for that time period. ----- Original Message ----- From: <osoricks@aol.com> To: <TNMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 10:04 PM Subject: [TNMADISO] barnett ancestors > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Barnett > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JgB.2ACE/1078 > > Message Board Post: > > > > I am trying to compile a family history.

Taylor) I came upon this thread. Background: William Taylor married Elizabeth Steele in Jefferson CO TN. They had children that married the children of John Sloan Steele and Margaret'Peggy' Nail (John & Margaret married in Mecklenburg CO NC 1812 and later lived in Knox CO TN area>Owen CO IN). I believe John is related to my Elizabeth Steele Taylor. NOTE:Both Elizabeth and John born in NC per several census records. Now this Wm. & Eliz Taylor had children that married into the Wm. Shields family. This brings us back to Eli King: Jefferson CO TN land record -August 22 1820 William Shields of the state of TN and Co of Jefferson to Eli King of the County of Knox state of TN. Recorded May 22, 1824 $169.00 land lying in the County of Jefferson on the waters of the Holston River being divided from a tract granted by the State of NC to John Shields bearing date 1793, adjoining Wm Taylor and said King containing 42 ¼ acres beginnig a a part oak on the south side of a small branch thence south fourteen west forty three poles to a white oak thence west sixty seven poles to a black oak thence North one hundred and five poles to a pine thence a direct line to the beginning. Wit:William Taylor , John S. Steel NOTE:Eli King and Wm. Taylor are listed in the Knox CO TN 1830 census...not Jefferson CO TN. this property is on the county line. The following was written by Alice Milligan, a daughter of Rev. Thomas Milligan. This is an account of the Bethany Presbyterian church located in Owen County - Montgomery Township, Indiana >From "Fact and Folklore of Owen County Vo. II" written by Dixie Kline "Just before our father became home missionary to Owen County in 1853, two large colonies had removed from Bethany, one to Iowa, the other to Texas and the church never afterward regained its original size. With this migration there slipped away from the Bethany roll most of the Couchmans, Taylors, Ivanses, Lees, Lindseys, and Snoddys. There were left most of the Steeles of Tennessee, the Steeles of Kentucky, the Walkers, Hills, Willoughbys and Westfalls. Of the Tennessee group the king-bolt was Sloan Steele, father of six sons and three daughters who lived to grow up. He died so long ago that he leaves only the dimmest picture of a pleasant-faced, gray-haired old man who entertained three little children at his knee by teaching them: "Shoe the horse and shoe the mare/But let the little colt go bare," meanwhile beating the rhythm on the sole of the baby's bare foot. His widow Margaret Nail Steele held her family toghether with strength and dignity. Her sister Elizabet! h Walker, also a woman of fine brain and character, had come with the Steeles from the Knoxville region... all Presbyterians, dyed in the wool... Mrs. Walker's husband George, a born wag, while a faithful attendant at all services, never made a profession of his faith. So now I am wondering if Margaret Nail Steele and Elizabeth Nail Walker are possibly the dau.s/o Sam.l Nail. All leads appreciated, Debra

David Donahue ex-Madison County CC

I had been thinking about resigning for about six months. I have been over extended and I have spent far more time on Madison County than I had intended. I never really planned on recording cemeteries there (I have done about 80), and I thought I would do 2-3 Jonathan Smith books each year (with Laurel's there and been 40 in under 3 years). I am neglecting the other counties where I do cemeteries, especially the county where my mother's family is from and where I live. At one point last year the most out of date cemetery I had online was the one where I have 17 ancestors buried (that's bad!). In terms of cemeteries, Madison County was simply one county too many, and it is the most expensive. It costs about $25-$30 out of pocket for every day I spend in cemeteries in Madison County-- 4 days at Brown's, 2 days at Antioch, 3 days at Maple Springs, 3 days at Providence -- it adds up. When I adopted Madison County, I already had three cemetery books, the Goodspeed and Cisco histories, and James Hanna's maps of civil district changes over time at another web site. So starting Madison County was easy. Also, I was one of two people to adopt Madison County. Martha was supposed to have been CC and I was to have been web master. Martha had great plans for a census transcription project. But Martha never did anything and after a while I was no longer able to contact her. When I placed madison County upp for adoption I had hoped that someone on the maillist and active in Madison County genealogy would adopt Madison County. That was not to be. I have several reservations about the new CC but I had no say in her selection. I think Madison County will go back to being inactive as under the previous two CCs. David
