I also appreciate all of the work that David has done and the information he has provided for us. In looking at marriages published in newspapers for the 1828 period, I wondered if obituaries are also available. If so, could someone tell me how to access them. One additional request, is there a researcher who is available in Madison? I can get there once every couple of years but would like to have someone who could provide some on site help to look up information as I need it. I have the Sistler "Tennessee Mortality Schedules" for 1850. 1860, 1880. This lists only deaths that occurred during those census years. Also, Madison County Minute Book 1 for 1821-1825. Both are indexed. Will do some quick checks, if you will furnish as much specific information that you have. Mollie in Missouri Madison Families: Chandler, Anderson, Starnes, Booth, Sullivan
