Mary, I have seen this term you used in an e-mail. I have seen it in some documents and wondered what it meant. Can you explain it to me? Julia Cooper Van Buren, AR

Hi, everybody... I've been udpating the Bradley Publications page, and realized that there is some info here that may of interest to you all. You all are aware that the TSLA has the 1914 - 1925 vital statistics online for the counties below. These were transcribed by the staff and volunteers at the Cleveland Public Library History Branch several years, and are available for sale from the library. The county books contain a bit more info than what is online, ie, if available from the death certificate, the parents names were included, as well as birth state and county of both the deceased and parents. I'm updating the page now, but the list will be online at http://www.tngenweb.org/bradley/bradpubl.htm 1914-1925 ($17.00 each county) Anderson, Blount, Bradley, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, Cocke, Franklin, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Jefferson, Loudon, McMinn, Monroe, Morgan, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sevier, White Edna Wiiefering, editor. 1914-1925 ($12.00 each county) Bledsoe, Cumberland, Fentress, Hancock, Marion, Meigs, Scott, Sequatchie, Unicoi, Union Edna, Wiefering, editor. 1926-1930 ($10.00 each county) Blount, Bradley, Greene, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sevier Edna Wiefering, editor. Also they now have abstracted the death certificates for the years and counties below: 1926-1930 ($10.00 each county) Blount, Bradley, Greene, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sevier Edna Wiefering, editor. 1926-1935 ($17.00 each county) Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Cumberland, Jefferson, Johnson, Loudon, Marion Edna Wiefering, editor. 1931-1935 ($10.00 each county) Blount, Bradley, Greene, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sevier Edna Wiefering, editor. 1936-1941 ($10.00 each county), , Blount, Braldey, Greene, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sevier Edna Wiefering, editor. 1942-1946 ($10.00 each county) Blount, Bradley, Greene, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Polk, Rhea, Roane, Sevier Cathy Hall [email protected] ASC TNGenWeb TNGenWeb Bradley County http://www.tngenweb.org/bradley TNGenWeb Polk County http://www.tngenweb.org/polk USGenNet http://www.usgennet.org **** TN-All mailing list, discussion list of TNGenWeb/TNGenNet.

I am trying to find information about Clayborn McCullar and his wife Vina Shelton. They had a daughter, named Christena born 1848. According to Christena's death certificate both of her parents were born in McNairy Co. I haven't been able to connect Clayborn to the other McCullars there. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks, Jasmine [email protected]

Thanks Nancy, The dates for Abraham Custer was Sept. 15, 1793 not 1493, and Daniel Custer b. 1798 not 1878. Sorry 'bout that. Becky

Evelyn Thanks for the info. There was a Adaline Brown listed in the will of my ggggrandfather, John Bowers, the will dated Oct. 18, 1848, in Franklin Cty., TN. Adaline is the 2nd wife of Abraham Custer, his 1st wife was Margaret Bowers, daughter of John, also listed in the will as the wife of Abraham, Margaret is listed in the mortality schedule for Franklin Cty. died Jan. 22, 1850. Witness to the will were Henry Sewell, Squire B. Baster , Simpson Sewell. I'm still trying to put the pieces together, must be a connection. I do suspect Mr. >>>Crum might be Custer. Becky

The Adaline Brown in the 1850 census, district twelve was in this family: Descendants of Absolam Brown 1 Absolam Brown 1808 - .. +Lucinda Swain 1806 - 2 Matilda Brown 1830 - 2 Martha Brown 1832 - 2 Crawford Brown 1834 - 2 Franklin Brown 1835 - 2 Adaline Brown 1837 - 2 Satary Brown 1839 - 2 William Brown 1840 - 2 Quincy Brown 1845 - 2 Jefferson Brown She was definitely a child.

So, when they got married Abraham was 357 and Adeline was 23? Man. She *really* liked older men! Just kidding. What year of birth did you actually mean for Abraham? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I am researching Abraham Custer and Adaline Brown, he was born Sept. 15, 1493 in Botetourt, VA, she was born 1827 in TN. They were reported to be married in 1850 in McNairy Cty., TN. I found a Adaline Brown in the 1850 Census, Dist. 12, but listed as age 13, could there have been a mistake. Also, another brother Daniel Custer b. 1878 married a Rebecca Sewell b, 1807. I know the Sewell's and Brown's lived in the same area during this period in time. Anyone have anything on these people? Or is there a marriage record for the 1850's? Becky Stewart

My ADALINE BROWN 's father was ANDREW BROWN .Her mother was Rhoda Swain . Rhoda's father was JOHN SWAIN I found Andrew Brown in Lawrence Co. , Tn. in 1820 . John Swain is there, also . 1830 both families are there in McNairy County , Tn. 1840 Andrew , John, & family are in the 1840 census in Tishomingo , TN. 1850 Census Andrew , Rhoda are probably dead . they are not there but the children are . John & Spouse are not there but a Swain family is living next door . My great grandfather & his sister Alminta moved to Texas . I think that your family maybe be a brother of Andrew or related . Did Franklin go to Texas ? There was a Franklin next door to my gggrandfather in Texas & he paid land taxes for Franklin . I hope to make a connection . Did your family ever live in Maury Co. Tn .? Do you know Franklin's spouses name ? Evelyn in Texas

ADALINE BROWN was my GGGrandfather's sister . We have an old photo of her .that was passed through the generations . It was told that she was his sister . We now very little about her except the census & photo . We could not read the back but it looked like she was married to Mr. >>>>>> Crum . But it could be yours . I think that she was older , too . Evelyn in Texas
