Here is my best transcription of the letter. Several letters are superscripts that won't show up in my plain text transcription. The punctuation in the letter is only one comma near the end and one period in the author's initial. The two question marks in there are my own addition indicating that I do not know what those two words could be. *** Columbia Ten April 9th 1844 Alexr G Abell Esqr Dr Sir Yours of 25 March is to hand Enclosed please find ten Dollars for which please send me the amt in copies of the life of Prest Tyler these I take on my own aso? as awery? to the protracted and fatal sickness in our town + neighborhood the intercourse with the country has been in a great measure suspended and no oportunity [sic] afforded of ascertaining the amt which could be disposed of here, should further amt be called for I will make application to you very respectfully your obl servant H.

Greetings Maury list. Some of you have been having difficulty with links on the Maury County Cemetery Web site. That probably is because I am continually changing the site by, adding pages, upgrading the information, and eliminating any errors that might exist. If you use a bookmark to find something deep inside the site it may not be active if the links have been modified. For instance I recently changed the spelling of Reece to Reese in the Reese’s Chapel Cemetery. That actually involved about 1,500 files and uses of the misspelled word and the correction was made programmatically. Anyone with an old link bookmarked to one of the 300 or so pages in the Reese’s Chapel Cemetery would get the message; “link not found” Anytime on the Internet you have difficulty with anyone’s site refresh your link by going back to the top level menu (or link) and finding the point in the site you are interested in. Do that by clicking into the site as if you were going there for the first time. When at the highest menu level and only then progress into the sub-level of menus to where you wish to be. Then you can save that link and hope for the best that it will not change again. If so just repeat the find again procedure mentioned above. If you only have a bad link and nothing else delete the right most portions of the URL back to the “/” until the link becomes live and into the correct site you are looking for and progress according to the above mentioned method. Wayne Austin Maury County Cemeteries

Wayne, Just to be as fair as possible I cannot say the buyer intends to sell the Maury photos in the album listed individually for sure, but when you go to the ebay site if you click on the buyer there is a link to information about the buyer, and then another link in the window on the right side of the page to what they have for sale. When I followed these links it called up a list of old photos listed on ebay for auction. Perhaps the buyer intends or would be interested in making the whole album available and I agree it should go to family or genealogical record. I did send an email to the seller asking if they would forward my email requesting information. I do not know the rules for ebay re. making buyer contact available, but thought if anyone wants to follow this or has specific connection they might be able to gain some access to or copies - otherwise it is lost. And it is history of Maury County even if not related. The amount paid would have been a small amount for such a ! rich record for a genealogical library. When a great grandmother died several years ago in TX, someone broke into the house and stole all the old photos and albums I had only seen part of earlier. I am sure these were sold somewhere and would love to come across even a few. Then a couple of years ago I was in an antique shop in LA and found a whole album for sale on a family in TX. My thought was these would mean more to the faimily members than they would ever to anyone else, and the store was considering selling them individually if they could not sell the album. I bought it and posted the names on genforum under the major surname, and was rewarded with two relatives who recognized the names and were glad and thankful to have the album found. They were willing to pay me what I paid but I did not have the mind to charge them because of what had happened to our family photos. I treasure the card I received from them after they received the album, and later saw on the forum a post that "thanks to the kindness of a! stranger a family album of ancestors had been found". I just hope someday someone else will return the favor, or they will do the same for someone else. We can do more together than alone, and those of us who value these old records should collect and share what we can. I follow the Maury county posts and although almost all are not related, it has given me a flavor of the area and kind of people who lived there, which has been very positive, and is as close as I can get to knowing the character and lives of ancestors. When I visited the area people could not have been nicer, cemetery lists were available, and I enjoyed researching in the library. My husband and I both enjoyed the food and old photos posted in some local restaurants. Maury county does a good job. Best regards, Judy (paternal great grandfather believed to have been born in Maury Co., TN before coming to TX abt. 1893, and buried in Mount Nebo Cemetery in Maury)
Yes Judy I agree, I think to divide up an old heirloom like a 19th century photo album is a national disgrace to the greedy profit motive. At the very least people should donate these items to a historical archive or genealogist who will maintain them in their original state for the sake of preservation. Oh well I am preaching at the wrong crowd. Most of you are of the same mind as I. Wayne Austin
Hi Don, Thanks for the email about the photos on ebay - I was too late to bid. But apparently the person who bought sells other other photos on ebay and may make the available for resale individually if anyone is connected to a particular person. A search for this site can be added to favorites for tracking, and I tried to send send an email to the seller to forward. I believe I have roots to McBride, Cooke, Sargent and others in Maury - some buried in Mount Nebo Cemetery. Pity some of us could not have gotten this so we could put in library or on Maury Co. Site and share. Please email again if you every find similar.

Hello, It appears someone bought the photos who will put them on ebay with other items they have for sale. Pity - but perhaps some will be available for resale individually. I believe I have roots to some McBride, Cooke, and Sargent in Maury county if anyone has photos - some are buried in Mt Nebo cemetery. It would be great if the Maury Co. genealogists could make old photos available on the web. Sorry someone was not able to get this as it would have made a great historical post - I was too late to bid.

Robertson County Nimrod is age 45+ has two sons with him, a daughter and wife This I am sure is the Nimrod of Culpepper Co. Va and North Carolina. Hickman County Nimrod is age 26+, one son, and two women with him both 16 to 26, one I guess could be wife. Question: is the Nimrod in Hickman County any relation to the Mcintosh of Robertson County? The Nimrod in Robertson had a son named Nimrod that family researchers show up later on in Kentucky. I am trying to tie one of these Mcintosh either Nimrod or the other Mcintosh of Robertson County, to William Mcintosh of 1820 Maury Co., TN. He was 26, born about 1794 either VA or NC. Was on some records in Maury Co. as early as 1813 and lived in Maury County until about 1829 when he moved with wife and children to Sullivan County, Indiana. I have not be able to attach the William to the Hector Mcintosh descendents of Iredell, NC that settled in Maury Co. in the 1820's. Anyone got any ideas to help. Tom

G R McDADE and Clara BENNETT were my m-i-l's parents. Also, some of the FREEMAN's worked in the phosphate mines in Mt Pleasant abt 1900-1910. They were from Lincoln Co, TN. My husband's gf, Nathan A FREEMAN was shot and died April 1904 in Mt Pleasant. Also Millard and Charley FREEMAN, who were dbl 1st cousins (FREEMAN bros m 1880's BUCKINGHAM sisters of near Law's Hill, Marshall Co, TN), m abt 1905 STOCKARD sisters, Bob and Betsey, of the Columbia area. Have been working on the STOCKARD line for Millard's gdau b 1924, lives near Birmingham. Had a STOCKARD lead / contact, but I don't think she uses the computer. I want to say she works in an antique store / museum in Maury Co. By any chance does anyone know who she might be ? I need her name and phone number so I can follow up re STOCKARD with her. Most grateful for any help. Janice
