Someone just emailed me and pointed out that I referred to Orrah Crawford as N M (Rev.) Crawford's daughter. She was his WIFE. I am so sorry--just very tired today. Thanks, Renee Mueller

You are right. I dont know why I said that except I am very tired and have been doing genealogy all day. N M Crawford was her husband. I went back to the page and looked at the census record again and when I look at the first initial I cant tell what it is --it could even be a W I guess. Would you like me to send you the link so you can look at it? The census taker makes a very curly and pronounced n on that page for Nanna Webb, Orrah's daughter. It does not look like the same letter he used for Rev. Crawford. The initial looks more like the hasty W's he uses when he says if they are of the white race. Thanks for pointing out my faux pas there. Renee

I don't understand your Crawford question. On the 1880 census N. M. Crawford is Orrah's husband not her father. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, October 08, 2005 2:25 PM Subject: [TNMARION] Webb and Crawford questions >Hi!

Hi! I am fairly new here. I have posted before on a Webb question. Someone was going to email me with what they said was a breakthrough,but I never heard from her.(on the Webb question) Please email me! My WEBB question is this: I want to know the names of Wiley Webb's parents. My husband is descended from Wiley Webb. He was married to Mary and had children Orrey, Rachel, and Harry. On the 1870 census from Dade County Georgia, it indicates Wiley was 78 !!!!! with a 40 year old wife and farming in Georgia. This leads me to believe he might have been married before--maybe when he lived in Tenn. I believe that his wife's name was Mary Pyburn . I think he might have moved to Georgia to get land when they were giving away Indian land because I found a Wiley Webb as a recipient of the Georgia Cherokee Land Lottery. My CRAWFORD question is: I have a discrepancy on Orrah (Orrey) Crawford. I had had her father listed as Rev. Wm. Levi Crawford. I have not been able to find ANY records with this name. When looking on census records (1880 for Coal, Dade County, Georgia) it said he WAS a minister, but listed his initials as N. M. Crawford. I t really does look like N M when you look at the actual record,but if you shove NM close together I was thinking maybe someone thought it was WM. for William. Does anyone know what his name is or who his parents are? I did find a NM Crawford --Nathaniel Macon Crawford --but he was born to a very prominent Georgian family and I never got the impression this minister had that kind of background. Maybe N M was a family name used by cousins, etc. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Renee Mueller

Marion County Tn has 1 newspapers, The Jasper Journal and the South Pittsburg Hustler. The South Pittsburg Hustler started in 1896 I believe it was. The Jasper Journal was much later, I believe it was in the 40's.

Does the town of Whitwell have a newspaper? Google was no help in my search. If it does not have a newspaper, what is the newspaper most read by folks in Whitwell? Is the newspaper very helpful in helping one obtain articles? Floreda

We don't have the chance to smell the roses, we have to have so many things to make our lives easier that we have paid for these time saving devices by working 24/7 to pay for them. Then we have all the people who come to this country and have entitlement privileges and demand to have what we have and expect taxpayers to help. Don't get me started. Remember when most people were farmers, they were at work when they woke up. Small towns, the father walked to work, and carried an umbrella in case of rain. Kid's played outside, Mother's were busy sewing, baking or cleaning or having someone over for tea. I remember it as being marvelous, wonderful, then Mother got a car too, then she was shopping all the time, Daddy was a distributor by then and we had so much less time together. No one sat on the front porch, we didn't make icecream on weekends with all aunts and uncles sitting around. I miss the unity that families had back then, thank goodness my sisters are my best friends, but we all work. Shame. -----Original Message----- From: deew [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 1:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Washing Clothes Recipe I think you are right in some things Carole.

I recall my Mother sorting her clothes to hang on the line so they looked better, all washclothes together, towels, jeans, dresses, she claimed it just looked prettier. You know, I also seem to recall that neighbors use to drive up, unannounced, we had lemonade or tea, or just plain water, they played cards of lamplight, visited and had a great time. Sometimes the ladies would bring a sack and sit there piece their quilts while they visited. I somehow think that they had a much nicer life than we, they weren't under the stress we are, they didn't pay insurance on life, medical, automobiles, house, they didn't have electric, gas bills,telephone, cell phone, etc., things we consider a necessity today. Perhaps it was because I was a small child, but I remember being outside with my Mother lighting the fire under the kettles, she was singing, I was playing house, etc., of course childbirth killed many of them, flu, pneumonia, etc., but most of that was before our time. I remember a bucolic time. -----Original Message----- From: macbetty [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 11:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TNMARION] Washing Clothes Recipe I thought using a wringer washer was bad enough, but I can not imagine doing it this way -- I do know why they spread the tea towels on the grass, as that would make them whiter from the chlorophyll ----- no wonder their life expectancy was not very long in comparison to now days.

Years ago an Alabama grandmother gave the new bride the following recipe: This is an exact copy as written and found in an old scrapbook - with spelling errors and all. WASHING CLOTHES Build fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water. Set tubs so smoke wont blow in eyes if wind is pert. Shave one hole cake of lie soap in boilin water. Sort things, make 3 piles 1 pile white, 1 pile colored, 1 pile work britches and rags. To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth, then thin down with boiling water. Take white things, rub dirty spots on board, scrub hard, and boil, then rub colored don't boil just wrench and starch. Take things out of kettle with broom stick handle, then wrench, and starch. Hang old rags on fence. Spread tea towels on grass. Pore wrench water in flower bed. Scrub porch with hot soapy water. Turn tubs upside down. Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs. Brew cup of tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings. =============================================== Paste this over your washer and dryer. Next time when you think things are bleak, read it again, kiss that washing machine and dryer, and give thanks. First thing each morning you should run and hug your washer and dryer, also your toilet - those two-holers used to get mighty cold! For you non-southerners - wrench means rinse.
