I agree--We need to find away to copy and paste

Karen and All, Is there a way to copy and paste a Family Tree Maker group sheet into a text file or e-mail? I can "copy" the group sheet but it won't let me "paste" it anywhere. Sure would be a lot easier than recopying the info. Thanks.

This is a scan of an article appearing in the current issue of "Confederate Veteran", the official magazine of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Paul Beatty - ----------------------------------------- S. C. V. undertakes the restoration-interpretation Of Confederate hero's only existing residence Submitted by Anthony Hodges, Chairman, N. B. Forrest Boyhood Home Committee An old Confederate, who for three years had been through thick and thin with General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his cavalry, reminisced that the secret of Forrest's military successes was his aggressive nature. The aging soldier wrote that Forrest was, ...always an offensive fighter. He believed the moral effect was with the attacking party, and never failed, when it was possible to do so, to take the initiative and deliver the first blow... When charged by the enemy, no matter in what numbers, it was his invariable rule to meet a charge with a countercharge. It was during his youth, the General related after the War, that he learned the value of the bold attack, even when he was inferior in strength to the enemy. Each day young Bedford and a playmate would ride by a neighbor's house on the way to water their family's horses. During every trip, two ferocious dogs belonging to the neighbor would sally forth, barking and chasing the youngsters on their fleet-footed horses a considerable distance from the house. Boys, being boys, they would torment the dogs by yelling, shouting, and throwing sticks and stones at them as they raced by. On one occasion, the future "Wizard of the Saddle" was riding a colt which was not yet broken or bridle-wise and the resulting incident was related by an early biographer: ...hearing the shout and the clatter of the colt's feet as it came in a swift run along the high- way, the dogs rushed towards him, barking in such a ferocious fashion that, as they came within a few feet of him, the horse bounded suddenly to one side and pitched his now terrified rider into, as he then fully believed, the jaws of death. Springing to his feet as he struck the earth and proceeding to obey the first great impulse to run away, to his surprise he noticed the dogs had fled and left him master of the field. The animals accustomed to having sticks and stones shied at them, were evidently taken with Panic at having such a thing as a boy of this size hurled at them through the air, and had sought safety in flight. In after years General Forrest related this early experience and said .. that it was a valuable lesson to him, which he turned to account in other ways later in life... Today, in middle Tennessee, virtually untouched by the hands of "progress" stands the boyhood home of this studied and storied Confederate hero. The place where Forrest learned the lessons of youth in such a manner as to become an idol to his countrymen in their darkest hours. This humble home was where the foundation was laid that would lead to military greatness in defense of the South. It was a background the great General shared with thousands of high privates. On August 22, 1997, the State of Tennessee trans- ferred to the Sons of Confederate Veterans approxi- mately fifty acres of land upon which sits the only existing home associated with General Nathan Bed- ford Forrest. This transfer was the culmination of years of dreaming and hard work by numerous S.C.V. members, especially the compatriots of Forrest Birthplace Camp 371, State Representative Steve McDaniel, State Senator Douglas Henry, State Rep- resentative Mary Beaver, and many citizens of Chapel Hill and Marshall County. His boyhood home is a circa 1825 two-story log and frame house located in Chapel Hill, Marshall County, Tennessee. It is typical of Scot-Irish building traditions in the South and also typical of the simple rural lifestyle that was the background of thousands of Confeder- ate soldiers. Nathan Bedford Forrest was born July 13, 1821 in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. According to an early bi- ographer, the home of his birth was torn down in the nineteenth century. His grandfather Nathan, had moved into Marshall County (it was then part of Bedford County) in 1808, when his father William was ten years old. In 1830, William Forrest acquired a tract of land from a Mr. W. S. Mayfeld, upon which Mr. Mayfield had built a log home in the 1820's. Young Nathan Bedford Forrest lived in the log and frame house on this property for three years. In 1833, William Forrest sold the property and moved the family to Mississippi. Of all the subsequent homes the General would occupy over the years, only this early boyhood structure survives. Oral tradition in Marshall County says that General Forrest returned during the War and held recruiting barbecues at his old home. Remains of the barbecue pits are said to be visible on property, adjacent to the S.C.V.'s cur- rent holdings. The written historical record is cur- rently being searched for verification of this local legend. The property and house were continually occu- pied until the 1970's when the State of Tennessee acquired the historic site. Plans called for its resto- ration and association with nearby Henry Horton State Park. Finances and politics prevented the com- pletion of the project and the house lay idle until it was transferred to the S.C.V. in 1997. The property consists of 50 acres, a circa 1825 two story log and frame house, a double crib log barn, a log corn crib, and the remnants of a frame smokehouse, A stone-lined well and limestone fence are still in existence. Between the house and barn is the remains of a small rectangular growing plot that was possibly the Forrest family garden. A limestone cavern is located nearby. An amazing number of the house's architectural details, which are contempo- rary to Forrest's occupation, are still intact. These include the mantles over the two fireplaces, staircase and railings, windows, and doors. The site is an ex- cellent representation of a mid-nineteenth century rural Tennessee or Southern farmstead and amaz- ingly has had little or no intrusion from the twenti- eth century even as we prepare to enter the twenty- first! There is no electricity or running water cur- rently available and access is attained over a two thousand foot gravel road off of Pyles road in Chapel Hill. The S.C.V. currently has in place, the Nathan Bedford Forrest Boyhood Home Committee, which is to oversee the maintenance of the property, its res- toration, and interpretation. Plans call for the home to be restored to its circa 1830 appearance, the pe- riod when the farm was occupied by the Forrest fam- ily. The restored Forrest homestead will be used to honor and interpret General Forrest without the politically correct spin so popular in the media to- day. It will also be a tangible illustration of the sim- ple rural background which the General shared with thousands of other Confederate soldiers and their families. We hope to add the restored home with S.C.V. prepared historical interpretation to the lists and brochures of antebellum and wartime sites and homes which have brought so many tourists and visitors to middle Tennessee. This will be the S.C.V.'s chance to give the true story of General Nathan Bed- ford Forrest. One of the premier firms in historic log home restoration, Leatherwood, Inc. was hired to prepare a report of what structural work was necessary to properly restore the home to its 1830 appearance It was felt that the site was of such historic importance, that any restoration contemplated should be done by professionals in accordance with the strictest standards in historic structure restoration. In Feb- ruary of 1999, the completed report was presented to the S.C.V. and the restoration of the two story log and frame structure was estimated at $107,000. Ma- jor items listed in the proposed restoration, included replacement of two damaged logs, a period roof, foundation repair, door and mantle restoration. A lengthy detailed listing with illustrations is in their report. In April of 1999, enough money was available in the Forrest Home budget (augmented by dona- tions, including a very generous gift from the Cali- fornia Division and friends) to begin restoration work on those items deemed a priority "One" by the Leatherwood company. The restoration of this monument to General Forrest is underway, but Ol' Bedford needs your help! We must raise $107,000 to complete the restoration of the two story log and frame structure, the first phase of the project. We are appealing to the members of the Sons of Con- federate Veterans to come riding to the aid of Gen- eral Forrest with their generous donations. If the Sons of Confederate Veterans cannot save this tan- gible link to General Nathan Bedford Forrest and the men who rode to glory with him, it is safe to say no other individual or group will step forward in today's world. A special fund has been set aside for this project and will be overseen by Jeb Stuart, IV, the invest- ment Committee Chairman of the S.C.V. Please send your tax deductible donation to: Forrest-S.C.V., P.O. Box 59, Columbia, Tennessee 38402-0059. Checks should be made out to "S.C.V.-FORREST HOME." All funds donated for the Forrest Home will be used for this project alone. Camps or individuals interested in visiting the Nathan Bedford Forrest Boyhood Home should make prior arrangements with S.C.V I.H.Q. by call- ing 1-800-380-1896. A caretaker, Mr. Boots Nix, lives on site, but he must be contacted by headquarters. We invite your visit with prior arrangement as the restoration goes on. A European observer wrote that: Forrest had fought like a knight errant for the cause he believed to be that of justice and right. No man who drew the sword of his country in the fratricidal struggle deserves better of her; and as long as tne chivalrous deeds of her sons find poets to describe them and fair women to sing of them the name of this gallant general will be remembered in every Southern state with affection and sincere admiration. There could be no finer tribute to General Forrest and the men who rode with him, than the restora- tion of his boyhood home. Please consider a dona- tion. Donor Program for the restoration of the Forrest Boyhood Home Individuals and camps who make donations to the restoration of this historic Confederate landmark will receive the following momentoes of this project: Donors of $25-$49: name of donor and an ancestor will be listed on a permanent memorial roll which will be kept on site. A certificate denoting same will be sent. Donors of $50-$249: ancestor memorial roll, plus a Forrest pattern twelve star battleflag which has flown over the site, a certificate noting the flag's history will accompany it. Donors of $250-$499: ancestor memorial roll, Forrest pattern battle- flag, plus a beautiful writing pen made from original circa 1825 wood salvaged during restoration of the Forrest boyhood home. A letter of authenticity will accompany the pen. These beautiful writing instru- ments will accept a standard ballpoint or roller point cartridge available in stores. Donors of $500 and up: ancestor memorial roll, Forrest pattern battle- flag, salvaged wood writing pen, plus a plaque or additional item made from the original salvaged wood. Note: As much of the original wood and material of the home will be preserved as possible, however, some salvage will be a normal by- product of a historically and structurally correct restoration. Needless to say, THE SUPPLY IS LIMITED! Premiums will be awarded on the order the donations are received. If the original wood supply is used up, a substitution will be necessary. Send your donations to: Forrest-S.C.V., P.O. Box 59, Columbia, Tennessee 38402-0059. Checks should be made out to: "S.C.V.-Forrest Home." Remember to include your ancestor's name, rank, and unit. Ol' Bedford and his troopers appreciate your financial support for this project!

Do any of you folks know of anyone willing to make a SHORT 1880 Census lookup for me. I am trying verify that my great grandfather moved from Lincoln Co, Tenn to Marshall Co, Tenn in the 1870-1880 timeframe. His name is William A. Bryant (b. 1839) and he was married to Eliza B. I believe him to be in District No. 2 Marshall Co, TN. or possibly District No 13 near Mooresville. Thanks, David

Hi All, My server appears to be working just great this morning! So I will announce the newest updates to the Marshall County website. David Monroe South Family Bible was added this week. Wills page: John Davis, Alexander Hobby and Andrew Patterson's wills have recently been added. Photos page: 1937 3rd grade class and 1947 graduating class from Belfast School were added this morning. Marriage records were last updated on the 19th of Aug. Family Group Sheets: Calvin HOBBY and John FOX are the newest additions. There are now 16 Death records online. Surnames page was updated this morning. I was thinking about a cemetery database, where we could all add the gravestone insriptions that we have collected. I know many of you have been to Marshall County and gathered those for your family, collectively we could probably have several hundred in a matter of weeks! If anyone has suggestions of other things they'd like to see added to the website, send them on! Good Hunting, Karen

David, I just came from Command Net's home page and their bulletin board states they are in the process of updating to digital. This may be the reason for the returned mail. (Just a guess.)

Hi y'all, I've added a new mailing list called "TNMarshaChat" to the Marshall County TN website. This list will cover a broader spectrum. It has been set up for us to share stories, ask questions and have general discussions about life and research in Marshall County. This new list is private and not archived, meaning it can not be searched by the general public and has been designated as a "children safe" list. I think this additional list will be fun and informative, I hope you join in! For subscription info visit this website: <a href="http://www.onelist.com/subscribe/TNMarshaChat">New Chat List</a> Any questions, feel free to email me directly at [email protected] Thanks, Karen

This is a listing of soldiers who died while imprisoned in Camp Morton Indianapolis, Indiana during a time frame of February 1862 through August of 1865 and are believed to be buried there also. Some of the surnames listed I recognized as also being from Marshall County, so thought I'd send it along for anyone who'd not seen it. <<a href="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/lincoln/military/mort001a.txt">Tennessee Confederate Prisoners at Camp Morton</a> Good Hunting, Karen

I'm going out of town today til Sept 4th and will not be able to do looks up til Sept 5th. Sorry, will post when I get back. Gail

Hi All, I am forwarding this message, with permission, from another list. It is another great source for info! Good Hunting, Karen - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: USGW-CC-L: WWI Draft Applications Update Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 06:04:52 -0400 From: "Linda Haas Davenport" <[email protected] Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you. It is difficult for me to take the time off from work to visit the archive to do my own research <g>. And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on.

Sounds good to me!! If we don't wait toooo long, I'm not getting any younger. We have researched my husband's 3ggrandfather, Dr. Micheal C. JOSE for several years and have never found his wifes's name. History says he was the first mayor of Farmington in Bedford Co.and left for Texas about 1850, however a old letter from his granddaugther, Victoria A. HILL indicates he is buried in TN. Maybe BETHBIRIE cementery. We were in TN a few weeks ago and walked the cementery and could not find the grave. However it was sooo hot and we were tired so maybe missed it, we were wanting to get back home to Texas [yes it's hot here too]. any way it the meeting comes about post it on the list so we can all be there.

Hi Julia, No my line is not in Marshall Co. It is originally from VA/NC and settled first in Williamson Co. in TN., then on to Haywood Co. (now Crockett Co.), TN.

Sometime in the fall of 1925 a young girl was molested in Lincoln County, TN. I think the actual trial was held in Lewisburg/Marshall County. Does anyone have any information on the trial? What was the outcome? Who was the Judge? Thanks Beulah Wright

Well, I'd like to be there for the reunion. My gggrandfather, Joseph Cleek, was on the first court when Marshall was founded. And the idea of focusing on Marshall, Bedford, Moore, etc. is a great one. Many of the families moved from one area to the other or as in my case, the county lines moved as often as did my ancestors. My Marshall Co. lines are Cleek and Harber, along with one that may be either Jarrell or O'Neal (long story). My Moore Co. line is Cleek. My Bedford Co. lines are Cleek, Harber, Reynolds, Jones, Sikes, Pressgrove, Wheeler, Potts, Harrison, Rucker and Rushing. Yes, we can pull it off and we might want to include Coffee Co., as well, as many moved back and forth across these county lines. Jean Vaughn Hendricks [email protected]

Hey; A reunion of some of the families of the past families of Marshall County sound great to my husband and me. We are the Short family and have complied a lot of family research on several of the old families from that area while searching for BARTHOLOMEW SHORT. Would be great idea for a get together at a park or such and everyone wear a shirt with family name in big letters plus bring your family pictures, letters, and any other information you might have gotten of the families of Marshall County, TN. We could share and maybe help each other out a lot. COUNT US IN. JUST SAY WHEN ! I'll bring our picnic basket and cooler full. My E-Mail is [email protected] Hope this comes about.
