Hi Folks, I'd like to "second" what Robbie has written here about the folks at the Archives---especially Jill. Jill and her staff members are truly dedicated to helping researchers find their "roots" and they work diligently to preserve the history of Montgomery Co. as well as any other history with which they come into contact. They have been of immeasurable help to me and they definitely do not make enough money for all the work they do!<LOL> Just wanted to "put my oar in" to let everyone know how great these folks are.

We are looking for the location of Tolar Cemetary. We know that my husband`s grandmother, Idella Jackson was buried there in 1955. I have her obit and death certificate. We believe her husband and 2 sons may also be there. She was buried from the Woodlawn Methodist Church on Dover Rd. Wiseman Funeral Home officiated. Is the Funeral home still in existence? The Tolar Cemetary was located in Woodlawn on Route 2. Is it now on private property? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! We will be visiting the area for the first time for a reunion in June and would like to be able to visit the cemetary.

Hi Listers- A new football building is being built behind Clarksville High School and they are looking for football pictures. The older the pictures the better. If you have any of these pictures you would like to share a copy of please contact Sandra Stacey at [email protected] Let's get out those old albums and picture boxes and see if we can fill the walls of Clarksville High School with their school's football history. Frances

Natalia, I'd be interested in knowing something about your daughter-in-law's Hays line---my g-grandmother was a Hayes. The Hayes family information in Geneva Swain's collection on the Montgomery County web site is my family. Geneva got some of her information from my great aunt (Bertie Lee Hayes Wilyard). Sandy Ellis

Hi Sandy, I forwarded this to my daughter-in-law who is part of the Hays family to see if she is related or not. Her family comes from Natshville/Clarksville so it may be.

The one date I can build on is the birth date of Mary Jane Patterson the daughter of John (James) Patterson and Katie Hayse. Mary Jane was born 21 Sept 1830, and appears to be the first born. (She died 11 Aug 1914. in McNairy County). Census* I find say she was born in Alabama. James, born in GA and TN and Catherine, born in TN. I would estimate that James was born abt. 1805-1810. Katie may have not been more than 16-20 years older than her daughter. It does not take a lot of paper to tell what I have from my mother's written records. John and Katie Hayse Patterson were mother's Great grandparents. She wrote: John T (or W.) Patterson m. Katherine "Katie" Hayse. Then she noted in Tennessee records he is called James. Their Children were: Mary Jane Patterson m. Mason Dixon Etheridge Hugh Patterson Dock Patterson Green Patterson Enoch Patterson m. first Piney Peeples and second Lizzie Plunk. She then gave the children and grandchildren of Enoch which I will give you at another time. This about covers the PATTERSON written account. She made the usual mis slips in writing, but I think her information was basically correct. Mother has a very deep sense of "Family". She was born in the home of her grandmother, Mary Jane Patterson Etheridge. From time to time her parents and she lived with Mary Jane up to age 15, when they moved to Oklahoma. A sister just younger than mother was named Katie Hayse. No where in written record does she mention that John'/James' mother was Indian, but she did tell me we have Indian blood through the Etheridg/Patterson line. My mother had the long straight raven-black hair. According to a biography (written by a descendant of Enoch) in the McNairy Co., history REFLECTIONS, James' parents were John Patterson and Winnie, a Choctaw Indian. Mary Jane and Dixon's youngest daughter was named WINNIE. * These Census give several more children than had recorded. I am working with another woman on this line. I some times think we are looking at two different people. I will go into that another time. I do have additional information on my Mary Jane. I have a tin type of her and a picture of her and several members of her family made in 1900. I'll be happy to share anything I might have that would be of interest to you. As you will notice it is after 2 AM. I will send this on and hope it makes some sense to you. Again -Thank you, Carol

I just went to the site and I see a LEE family notebook. I have some of the same names in my tree. I am wondering if anyone knows who that is and how I may contact them? JODY BOYD

Hi Jody, The Lee Notebook was done by Geneva Swain who is deceased. She collected alot of information on families of Montgomery Co. She didnt have any children and left her books and research to a cousin Carroll Ellis who was nice enough to donate it to the Archives. It is possible there is more to the notebook I know Sandra wasnt able to scan everything. You might check with the Archives for more info.
