For some reason I cannot access Maury Co. census. Am looking for Frances Graham(Grimes) who, with son Thomas, would have been on 1840 census. I believe any info on these people could knock a big hole in my brick wall. Would appreciate your help. Carlene

I am looking for information on the father of Ephraim Turner Beatty, born. Feb. 18, 1854, in Maury Co., TN and died Aug. 3, 1938, in Monette,Mo. His father was John Beatty, born 1816? he married Elizabeth Pinkerton, Feb. 5, 1838 in Williamson, Co., TN. Elizabeth was born 1822? I am in need of more information on the above individuals. Ephraim had a child by Carrie McCaul, John Alexander Beatty, b. 4/5/1878 and d. 4/17/1955, he lived in Monette, Mo. He married Ida Jane Jefferson had two children Rolla Ephraim Beatty and Loraine Beatty. They lived in Monette, MO. I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have. Thanks Brad Beatty -- GIF89aŒ

Both my parents had worked for firms where they paid into FICA. However, their last and longest jobs were with the railroad from which they retired. They started to receive two monthly retirement checks, but after some time their Social Security benefits were transferred to the Railroad Retirement Board in Chicago. They then received a single check until their passing. And their names do not appear on the SSDI. I do not know how common this is nor if the Railroad Retirement Board has a list similar to the SSDI. John Burfiend <burfiend@earthlink.net> [Editors' Note: If a person worked for a railroad after 1936 he might have qualified for a pension from the Railroad Retirement Board in lieu of Social Security. That's why researchers don't find those ancestors in the SSDI. Most of the RR employees' Social Security numbers begin with the digits 700 through 729. Researchers can write to: Railroad Retirement Board, 844 Rush Street, Chicago, IL 60611.] * * * MAILING LISTS: To subscribe or unsubscribe from any RootsWeb mailing list, send an e-mail message with only the word SUBSCRIBE (or UNSUBSCRIBE) in the subject and the body of the message to [name of list]-L-request@rootsweb.com (for mail mode) or to [name of list]-D-request@rootsweb.com (for digest mode).

The original capital, Jamestown, was destroyed three times, Richmond was burned in 1865 and many courthouses were destroyed during the Civil War. Virginia research is a challenging quest. The Library of Virginia site <http://www.vsla.edu/lva/lva.html> states: "early official records of births and deaths in Virginia are almost nonexistent." Records for births and deaths were kept in the local parish; there are few marriage records prior to 1730. However, Virginia was one of the early states, after the New England states, to have vital record registration (1853) and to begin recording births and deaths at the county level. But that stopped in 1896 and it was not until 1912 that vital records were again kept statewide. So it is important to establish the parish or the county where an event took place in order to continue your search in church records, cemetery records, and newspapers. For that you need some kind of a statewide index. A good place to start is the "Virginia Historical Index" (1934-36; reprint, Gloucester, Mass.: Peter Smith, 1965). This multi-volume index, often referred to as "Swem's Index," has entries for several historical and biographical publications through the 1930s and 1940s. Don't overlook the Ultimate Family Data Library's Master Index to its collection of Virginia data. The Ultimate Family Data Library's online index <http://www.familyinfo.com> includes abstracts of Virginia records from the mid-1700s to 1800s. You can subscribe to the data online or order it on CD-ROM. * * * * * MISSING LINKS: A Weekly Newsletter for Genealogists, edited and published by Julia M.

I am trying to prove that Simon BECKUM (died 1827 Maury Co) who married Mary RAY (died 1832 Maury Co) in 1798 in Orange Co, NC is the father of James BECKUM (1811-1882). Simon & Mary are definitely the parents of Stephen BECKUM, but I cannot prove the other sons who would have been minors when Simon died: James (b 1811), Alexander (b 1813), and William (b 1815) all born in NC, probably Orange Co. What about other siblings also? Any help/suggestions would be apreciated. Lera Powell lpowell1@airmail.net

Been having trouble sending email - forgive me if this is a repeat. Looking to connect with others researching John M. HOUSTON b 1837 Maury Co. m. Christiania YARBROUGH b 1835. He died in Baldwyn, Lee Co MS 1894. His father was William Marshall HOUSTON; mother ?. Her parents were Dr ? YARBROUGH and Tabitha GIBBONS. Anyone related to these folks?

Can't give you her address but she is buried in St. John's cemetery. Pardon any levity in a serious subject. Jill passed away about three years ago after doing more, possibly, than any other citizen of Maury County to preserve our history in printed form. She is greatly missed but by no means forgotten. As to your family research, if you will send us a query, giving necessary details about the family you are interested in, we will place it on our webpage and perhaps someone will pick up on it and help you out. We do not have a resident genealogist who can help out with this kind of research although some of us try to help out when it is a family we have done research on.

Could anyone give me the email address of Jill Garret, of Maury County, who might have some info on my Hodge line. Thanking you in advance... Alex Koch.

Compare notes with PRCarpe@aol.com about this connection. Let me know if you get anything from him. Pat

Charlotte, did you see the posting from PRCarpe@aol.com. Needs infomation about Burns/Boshears connection. Charlottte, your connection to Jason Wilson was through Lucinda Burks, right? They were both from SC. Have you found WHERE they lived there and where James and Elizabeth were from. Something was mentioned about VA. Pat Barrow

Sorry, I have no Burns in my line so far.

Hello; I'm sorry but the only inf on the Burns is what I posted. Wish I could be more helpful. Good luck and happy hunting. Char

Hello, My ggrandfather was James L. BURNS, who was in Tippah County,MS and still there in 1860 census where he is listed as being born in TN. Another researcher has suggested that he may have been the son of Miles BURNS of Maury and Hardeman County, TN. Do you have a James L. Burns in your information? Thanks so much for any information.

Hello; I am searching for Preston & Jane Burns. Their children were Lou Fannie Emiline m Jehu Benton Boshears, Houston m Maniel L Thurman, Rubin m Ida Boshears, Carrie m an Owens, Bob m Nettie Martin, Jane m a Sanders, Jinnie m Lynie Jackson. Jehu & Fannie had; Seth Wilson m Emmer Beshires Hardeman Co., TN, Charlie, Bud, Ida, Park, Albert, Jehu Jr, James and Webb. Burns and Boshears were living around Columbia and Mt. Pleasent, TN. 1850s. I have a picture of my grandfather Seth with Pete Burns s/o Rubin & Ida Burns. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Thank you. Charlotte
