I did find a marriage for them; Brown, James H. to Mourning Dye 7/5/1849, Book 3, page 108. No, there are no books available for purchase that I know of. I do not do a Surname search, but I will be glad to look up Census records or marriage or Will.

Does anyone have Tim Stiles homepage address? I seem to have lost it. Thanks Joyce Gaston Reece

I am searching for the parents of William Houston Lorance. He was born in Monroe County, Tennessee, July 20, 1825, according to his pension papers for both the War with Mexico and Civil War. At some point, before William was an adult, his family is believed to have moved to Bradley County. He married first, Mary M. Owens (nee Hill) in 1853, in Gentryville, MO, (Mary's first husband was Joseph Marshall Owens) and second, Louella Clark (nee Rutherford) in 1893, in Auburn, NE. According to William's son, Mary was also born in Monroe County, TN, perhaps Sweetwater. William died in 1913, in Auburn, NE. The death certificate does not name his parents. Much is written about William, as he was a pioneer in Brownville, Nebraska, but never a mention of his parents. Several researchers have tried to adopt William, however, every time I turn up a clue, it disproves another. Might someone have this William in their tree? Does the Monroe County courthouse have birth records that go back that far? Much thanks in advance. Dawn-Moree Dugan

Some of you may have been trying to e-mail the Madisonville Library for copies of the film page. As you probably found out that e-mail address no longer worked. I've just put up the newest one, they've had problems with their server. So now you can try again with I hope more success. Joy Joy Locke [email protected] Monroe Co. Tn.

I left out a letter in the URL for my list of new additions and photos. Sorry about that! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~snipper/new.html If you find any links not working on the site, please let me know. Thanks! Sandra Ratledge "Kinfolks in the Knobs"

I've uploaded a photo of Jane Ellen (Baker) Stiles who was the source of the story I wrote and uploaded earlier this week called, "In the Shade of Starr Mountain." It's a legend about Aunt Rachel Hughes. I thought it might be interesting to see a photo of the woman who told this story to her son Arthur Stiles in the early 1890s. Also, I've added some more photos and several additional family groups including one for Cousins Benjamin Brannon and another for Alex and Cousin Doshia (Manis) McAmis. There's another for Aunt Mary (Hampton) Adams Pangle as well as several updates on previously existing family group records already online. To find what's new go to the following URL and scroll down http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~snippe/new.html Hope you enjoy! Sandra Ratledge "Kinfolks in the Knobs"

Have a 1825 Monroe County Court record referring to a will of Absalom SMITH which was being disputed, but have not found the will in question. Had 2 minor children (Garland and Nancy Jane) at the time. Would appreciate any help someone might provide. Would be happy to share Absalom & Polly SMITH info. Thanks very much. Gail

Since my last notification in January, I've written and added two more stories, one old letter from the Civil War, two essays from years ago, and eight family group updates with additional info to my website. To find what's new on the website, go to the following URL and scroll down the page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~snipper/new.html Best wishes, Sandra Ratledge "Kinfolks in the Knobs"
