Do not know name, but did look up the book, Way's Packet Directory, it said it dealt with the Mississippi system on passenger boats, freight steamers, and all types ran by steam. The book with shipping and all would be around 40 dollars, do you think it would include the Tennessee river in it, was it in the so called Mississippi system?????? -----Original Message----- From: Iley Thompson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 3:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TNMARION] MARION COUNTY, TENNESSEE MORTALITY SCHEDULE 1850-1880 You know the name of the packet boat that they traveled on,find a copy of Way's Packet Directory,and see if it is listed. Then look and see who owned it ,where it was ported,and what the "run" was for the boat. If you can find that information,it should narrow the search. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas, Carole" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 3:23 PM Subject: RE: [TNMARION] MARION COUNTY, TENNESSEE MORTALITY SCHEDULE 1850-1880 > Oh,that is different then, guess I will just continue to look there and > surrounding areas. > Thank you > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 1:33 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [TNMARION] MARION COUNTY, TENNESSEE MORTALITY SCHEDULE > 1850-1880 > > Please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that the > mortality schedule only represents those deaths occuring within one year > of the census date.
