I'm not sure where Sweetlips is either except that I think the actual cemetery is in Chester Co., TN., but best I can tell it is very close to the county line because up in the northern part of the McNairy Co there is a Sweetlips road or street or lane or something.

Would anyone have access to a 1880 map of district 12 - my family lived in the "Mud Creek" or "Winding Ridge" Communities and I would like to know the locations.

Hi Is there a general map for McNairy County available? One that would show where all the districts were in the 1800's? Thanks. Susan

Julie: I am trying to find a soldier who was at Shiloh with Albert Sidney Johnston. His grave maker states he was a guard to Albert Sidney Johnston. Now Johnston was killed at Shiloh. He had to be with Johnston at the battle and before. Does your records show a James Parker at Shiloh? This man was a scalaway and its been real hard pinning him down. Thank you Sally

Hi, Martha. There is a Sweetlips Cemetery that is now in Chester County. Portions of Chester County were cut from McNairy County and I believe it was the northern part. I don't think Sweetlips was in the 8th district. I think Sweetlips was further north. (To anyone in McNairy County, please correct me if I'm wrong.) The McNairy Co library has a reference listing of those buried at Sweetlips Cemetery (and others in Chester County). Good luck Joanne ---------- > From: MSTEAK@aol.com > To: TNMCNAIR-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [TNMCNAIR-L] map > Date: Tuesday, January 19, 1999 10:00 PM > > Thank you but someone already mailed me one.

Jim, >From "Shiloh Remembered": p. 24 "The Rastus WILKERSON Story: Rastus (Rat) WILKERSON has spent nearly eight five years practically in the same spot -- New Delight Community, McNairy County, Tennessee. "There isn't much about the community I don't know," he said as he eased his lanky frame into a split wood rocker. "Used to be a lot of folks in the neighborhood that fought in the Civil War. Take old Polk CARROLL....he lived down the road apiece in an old log house. Old man Polk had been a soldier in the Confederate army. My granddaddy was Bill SMALLWOOD. He had fought for the Northern Army. For them, the war ended in 1865, when the shooting stopped. Others on both sides went to their graves with a grudge. Polk CARROLL carried a minnie ball in his hip. He hunted and fished almost daily with Bill SMALLWOOD. Polk would complain that his minnie ball leg was hurting. SMALLWOOD would snap back that "it's too bad we didn't shoot you in the head where it wouldn't hurt." The two spent their remaining years in deep devotion of each other despite their differences in the war. Benton KENDRICKwas another neighbor who lived close by. He never was able to forget that the South had lost the big war. He carried a grudge and he wasn't very friendly to Polk CARROLL or Bill SMALLWOOD." p. 27 --- (Continuation of the Bert HAYS Story): "Sometimes HAYS' guerillas numbered as many as 40. They raided in Hardin and Wayne Counties and eventually he turned on everyone within his grasp. Listing among his killings were John, Tom and George [sic -- no last names]. Their bodies were left unburied. Obviously HAYS was blamed for a lot of crimes he did not commit. A lot of false information was passed out by Union officials. HAYS did a lot of bad things during a lawless period of history but not everything that he was accused of. In Hardin County, the guerillas were accused of killing and raping Dicey and Martha CROOM. They hanged them in an effort to find the families [sic] valuables. HAYS asked young Monroe CROSSEY to guide them to Pinhook Road near Savannah. Later HAYS shot the youth through the head. A young granddaughter of Wm. FIELDER was also raped and hanged. At the Richard LARD home, HAYS appeared and the usual pistol whippings and rapings started. One of the girls spread the alarm and soon some Union soldiers home on furlough charged into the melee and a running gun battle followed for several miles along Holland's Creek. Ten men were killed and two men named THORNTON and FORD were hanged in 1866." Jim --- sorry about Dicey CROOM -- how terrible for her!

Julie and Others, June 1863, as stated below, was not the end of the "First Confederate Cavalry." Lt. Col. C. S. Robertson, of Pocahontus, Bolivar and Savannah, and other officers were captured along with the 292 men as you stated. However, Capt. C. H. Conner assumed Command of the outfit which continued as a unit until the surrender near Gainesville Alabama at the end of the war. I am trying to write a history of Company G of the First. This company was made up primarily of men from The Hardin Co. and the surrounding area. I have a roster and will check same if you think your ancestor was in that unit. If you have knowledge of this outfit, that you would share, please get in touch.

Hello list, Well, the requests came pouring in almost as soon as I posted the offer of lookups! I have a request, as well, though: Please email me directly at anpreston@msn.com with lookup requests, rather than posting the request only to the list as I may not always read every posting so may miss some lookup requests. I can't promise to be able to keep up the current pace but will reply as soon as possible. (These stories make for some interesting reading, don't they?! Can't help thinking some of those ancestors would be turning in their grave knowing a "Yankee" is retelling their family secrets!)
