Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tn/Meigs/10040 Surname: Stokes, Moss ------------------------- Thanks Sharon. I assume this is the Decatur city cemetery? Maryline fits the 1880 Meigs census record, although I swear her father (my gg gf) is shown as John W., which I have assumed was for Wesley. James Samuel is a new one for me, but I believe there were a few kids born to one or two of the girls on the wrong side of the blanket, which would explain the continuance of the name through a family with no sons. Maybe he's Maryline's son, although she would have been 41 when he was born - certainly not impossible. I'll see if this flips any light switches with my mother. You've been very helpful, and just to show you what a big-hearted guy I am, I'm willing to accept any more info you come up with. Regards, Jim

Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Tn/Meigs/10037 Surname: ------------------------- Meigs County's Georgetown is at the lower end of the county. It covers a section in the corner of Meigs, Hamilton and Bradley Counties. In fact you could say the "town" of Georgetown is in all three counties or none of them. It may have been there in the 1860's but was not listed as having a post office in 1851 (see link to an online list of Postoffices and postmasters of 1851-- http://moa.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/sgml/moaidxnotisid=AHJ3101a
To the Meigs County List: If you have Tennessee roots you will be interested in a new publication titled "The Reconstructed 1810 Census of Tennessee." To be published in June, this 600-page volume will include more than 30,000 records of citizens of Tennessee in 1810. Since nearly all of the original census was destroyed many years ago, this reconstructed census will be an invaluable research tool. The work is based on names extracted from tax lists, court minutes, church records, wills, deeds and other sources dated 1809-1811 in Tennessee. The author made this extensive effort to track every adult male in Tennessee. In addition many entries for women, children, free blacks and slaves were also located. The book was complied by Charles A. Sherrill, a well-known Tennessee genealogist, librarian and lecturer. His earlier works include "Tennesseans in Court" and "Tennessee Convicts." For a sample page of text and ordering information, contact the author at this e-mail address: books4histry@cs.com
Kids Can Send Grandma To Camp This Summer This year, summer camp comes with a twist. Kids are invited to bring along an adult family member to participate in the East Tennessee Historical Society's summer genealogy camp. The camp will be held July 9-12 at the ETHS headquarters in the East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville. The camp is designed for children age 9 to 13. Cost is $25 per child and $5 for each adult family member. At the camp, kids will enjoy learning methods to research their family tree, such as talking to relatives, using original records, visiting cemeteries and libraries, and meeting historical reenactors. Each participant (or sibling group) is invited to bring a family member with them to help as they "dig their roots." The week will include tours of the East Tennessee Historical Society and Museum, and participants will receive one-on-one instruction in using the Knox County Archives and the McClung Historical Collection. "We hope that parents or grandparents will help us develop an interest in preserving their family and community history," said Lisa Oakley, ETHS curator of education. "This camp will plant the seeds of interest in history in today's children." The camp is sponsored in part by Knoxville area Chick-Fil-A restaurants. The ETHS genealogy camp will be held at the East Tennessee History Center, 600 Market Street, Knoxville, from 9 a.m. to noon, July 9-12. Space is limited in the camp and pre-registration is required. To register, contact Lisa Oakley at oakley@east-tennessee-history.org or 865-215-8828. The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of East Tennessee. The society's programs and activities are made possible through the support of its membership. For additional information about the ETHS Genealogy Camp or other ETHS programs, call 865-215-8824 or visit the society's web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org

Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Meigs/10036 Surname: KING, LILLARD, SANDUSKY ------------------------- Janis- Thanks you for your kind responses to my posting on the Meigs County Inquires. The Lillard family has been great fun to trace back to France. I have come across a great deal of original documents (on microfilm) for the Lillard family which makes it such a pleasure to research. Thanks for your information on Aaron King. He was a surgeon in the Civil War and he and his wife died fairly young and their children were raised by their grandfather, James Lillard. It is always exciting venturing into a new line and seeing what's out there. THANKS!! Patryka Tachick pattachick@msn.com
Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Meigs/10035 Surname: Lillard ------------------------- In my other posting, I forgot to mention that the Lillard name is very prominent in the Meigs County records. I see it quite often in the records.
Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Meigs/10034 Surname: Price ------------------------- Aaron King's estate settlement mentioned several people other than the Prices. I don't know why. (I'm not sure if they were buying his personal property, if they owed money to the estate, or if they were owed money by the estate.) I found the reference in some early Meigs County court records. It is very likely that the Prices mentioned in the estate records may have been neighbors/friends of the King family and/or they may have been family.
Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Meigs/10033 Surname: King, Lillard, Sandusky ------------------------- Janis- My ears perked up when I read your message with the mention of Aaron King. Aaron King is my 3Xgreat grandfather and I have just begun to research his family. I have virtually no information on the King family nor on Aaron. I haven't any information at this time on a connection between the King and Price families at this time, but I will certainly be keeping my eyes open. I am like you, I have more questions than answers. I would appreciate any information about Aaron King that you might have. Where did you find an estate record for him? Thanks for your kind assistance. Patryka Tachick
Hi List, I am sending this to all the Lists I belong to ..so, if you see a double.... The Fentres County Historical Society has decided to reprint the old Fentress County History they must get 100 prepaid orders in order to do this because it is so expensive. The book is very beautiful and well done. It has over 700 pages with lots of genealogical information in it. It is well worth $100 and can be passed down from generation to generation. If you want the book please send the $100 dollars to Fentress Co. Historical Society Po Box1431 Jamestown TN 38556 If the Society do not get 100 orders they will return the money to you. If there are any questions , you may e-mail me MPiros1120@aol.com (Milly Piros) or genie2_38556@yahoo.com (Myra Smith) Milly WARD Piros List Administrator for TNFENTRE-L@rootsweb.com Fentress County TN <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/millyella/listofpages.html">A List of All My Pages</A> http://www.geocities.com/millyella/listofpages.html My Mind Is Like Lightning.....One brilliant flash and Pooooooooooffffffffffffffffffff it's gone..
Posted on: Meigs Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Meigs/10031 Surname: ------------------------- In a recently discovered obituary of our great-great uncle, Columbus Jefferson Turner, who died in McIntosh County, Oklahoma, it stated he was born in Georgetown, Tennessee, in 1866. In a search of Rootsweb, we discovered at least six counties in Tennessee had communities named Georgetown, Meigs County being one. Where was the Georgetown community located in Meigs County, and was it in existence in the mid 1860's?
