Dear Marian, Unfortunately, Mrs. Garrett died about three years ago. She gave her files, library, etc. to the Maury County Historical Society and it is housed in the Maury County Public Library. With her going, Maury County lost its most gifted, dedicated and active genealogist. Lottaluck. Fred Hawkins.

I'm sorry. I don't have anything on Wilsons in TN in that time period. My batch all moved to AR and MS by 1839. There may have been some left behind, but I don't have anything on them.

Are there any books on cemetery listings available for Maury County? If so, please name them if possible and where they can be obtained. http://www.aristotle.net/~rfurr19

Dear List Members: Does anyone have any mention of the followings surnames in any of their Maury County references? Also, does anyone know or know where I could find out, if there is another Maury County in the USA? I am looking for the following Coons: Lauria [multiple spelling-Laura, Louise,Laurella,etc.] COONS [multiple spellings-KOONS, KOON, KUHNS, COONTZE, KOUNCE, etc.] born in Maury County, Tennessee, circa 1813, father John COONS. She married David WILLIAMS [born circa 1809 in Montgomery County, Kentucky] on Oct 28, 1832 in Montgomery County, Indiana. They had at least two children - Nathan Jefferson and Rebecca Justine WILLIAMS. They moved to Illinois, then possibly to Iowa. Unfortunately, I have no other COONS or any other reference to Maury County. Lauria Coons has also been documented as Lauria JACKSON COONS. I do not know if this a middle, maiden, or married name. The parents of David WILLIAMS [father -Nathan, mother - unknown] were supposedly from Virginia. Thank you in advance very much for your help!

Is the Dotson and Dodson family the same line? I'm tracing the Campbell line which married to Opel Dotson. My wife is descended from Lewis Gidrell (Gridrell) and Opel Dotson Campbell.

if it is geographic, it was rampant in VA and NC in the 1700's and England, ireland and Scotland before that

I also corresponded with Jill Garrett for several years, and last year I received a note from her husband that she had passed away. I felt then and still feel that genealogists and family search lost a valuable friend. Her husband indicated that the family had discussed giving her research papers to the Library. I am not sure whether they did in fact do this or not. Her family would more than likely respond to any inquiry you want to make to them. I hope this helps. Amadhan@aol.com

Thank you, this is not my bunch. I will post better dates later. Nell

Hi: Is Ms. Jill Garrett taking letters again? Last time I tried to contact her, the letter was answered telling me that Ms. Garrett was very ill. I would like to write again and find out about her book but have long since lost address. Could someone help? Thanks, Marian MLW321@aol.com

Is this more a geographic nicknaming? Again.... my mother was born in 1906 in MO, she was called by her middle name because Mary was such a popular name. My brother-in-law's mother the same thing. I'm from Colorado so I'm wondering if this is done more in different parts of the country than others?............Judy CackyCline@aol.com wrote: > WE are right now facing all the people who did not know Mollie or Molly/Polly > et al are nicknames for Mary.

Gene, the book was originally published in 1905. Page 294 is in the supplement part and the date at the start of the Supplement and corrections is 1906.

Could someone tell me if the new Maury Co. book has the same info as the Century Review of Maury Co and just adds to it or does it have new "stuff" from the 1800's? Thanks, Doris dmoore@nb.net
