Hi Sharon , Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate it. I am looking mostly for the correct county for my files. I have Studdards who are buried there. That is a branch off of my Kirksey line. I think I have all of the dates correct from the ones who are buried there, but if you happen to be out that way, I would love to double check them. I got them from a cousin who told me the dates off the top of her head. I would love to confirm them. I do not believe there should be too many Studdards there, but the ones I have in particular are: Bascom Orlando Studdard and wife Minerva Caroline Kirksey Studdard John Thomas Studdard and wife Annie Gladys Latham Studdard Those are the only ones in my files I can locate right now, so may be all of them. I am not sure though. Thanks again for the information. I appreciate it a lot. Happy Hunting!!

West View is in Monroe County about 1 mile from Sweetwater. Who are you loking for?

Does anyone on the list know the location of Westview Cemetery? I believe it may be in another county, but I am not sure. I need to know the county if possible and anyone on the list knows. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Your best bet is to just go over to the court house. There you can look through the marriage records and get copies of what you need. Another good place for things is the Cleveland Public Library History Branch. They have alot of county information there. Kaye Buckner Presley

I am going to be in McMinn County next week and would like some suggestions on sources of information on marriages, births and deaths between 1890 and 1920. I am specifically interested in the S. P. C. McFalls' family. I have census information from 1870 to 1900, but have several gaps as to who married whom and when. Also, are there any newspaper stories and indexes for this period? Thanks in advance, Henry MVJW58A@aol.com

I need some help locating two pieces of information about the death of my Grandfather, James Newport "Jim" Ellis. A wonderful teacher in Athens GA located an article in The Murray News dated 2-28-1913 that finally told me where he had been killed. The Article stated he died Sunday night and was found Monday morning at Etowah, TN. He had a pistol ball through his right temple and a gun was laying by his hand. First reactions was a suicide but the verdict given was death by the hand of person unknown. Article stated "looks like Murder". I need to know if a paper there, The Etowah Enterprise or larger county papers, carried any stories on this death and secondly, was anyone every arrested and did it get to court. Jim was 27 years old, married to Lillie Mae Stephens Ellis, and the father of four boys, James Ernest age 6, Samuel Toliver age 4, my Father, Homer Desmond age 2 and the baby, only 2 weeks old - Walter Colquit Ellis. The family lived in Eton, GA and Jim was employed by L & N RR. 88 years after his death, the only new information we have is where he died and how finally. Will someone, who knows this type of research, please help us solve the rest of the story? I will gladly pay for copies or fees needed.

Dear List Members, Here it is the end September and time for the Third Quarterly Report for 2001. This past month has been a difficult time for all of us, but we made it through it and each of us are trying to get back to normal, or as normal as we can again. Part of that getting back to normal is our quarterly reports. Again, for your information, the TNMCMINN Mailing List has 165 members, 130 on the Regular list and there are 35 members on the Digest List. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. 3. Remember to change the Subject line when you change the topic of the posting. It is confusing to me and the member when your subject line has nothing to do with your posting. Most likely it will get deleted and you will not get the response you are looking for. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says "Thank you” and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Mary". Mary then sends out 60 more "Thank You" messages. This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net If one of these items come across the list, just delete it, do not respond to it. I am taking care of the problem, quietly behind the scenes. I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

The following link is now available online for the 1900 McMinn Co TN Census Index http://www.geocities.com/sharon_mccormack/1900McMinnCensusIndex.html

Dear List Members: We are mourning and will be mourning for a long while, the tragedy which happened to us this week. I, as you, hurt and want to cry out and scream to the world "that something has to be done", "we hurt", "why". Those who lost loved ones will continue to need the support of their fellow man while they either wait for word of of their missing or are burying their dead. I expect no less of each one of us and the days pass. The time has come though, for us to begin the process of trying to live our lives in some kind of normalcy, by trying to slowly bring our lists back to the topic for which they are designed. Therefore as I opened the lists for you to express your grief, I now, most respectfully, and with sorrow, ask that you help me bring them back to the topic of the list. Today is the last day for posting of your feelings and thoughts to the list regarding the tragedy. If you have not had the chance or have felt strong enough to share you feelings with us you can still post them at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&amp;p=usa-tragedy.mourning I want to thank each of you for the manner in which you held our flag high this past week, for the manner in which you shared your sorrow, for the manner in which you shared your grief without attacking one another or any culture. I especially want to thank those members who hurt as badly as those who posted regarding what has happened in their world, but could not deal with seeing this horror on their genealogy list. They never said a negative word, but let those who needed this time and this way to express their sorrow have it. These members were true friends to each of us. I ask now that each of you help me to again close the lists to any topic other than the topic of the list as of tomorrow morning, Sunday, September 16th, 2001. I appreciate each of you and thank you for the support I am given by each of you. Kathleen Burnett List Mom
