Jeanne, Thanks for sending them a message about an archives. I've been telling them how many people check the web site so if they receive messages from people that live as far away as you do, they will see that there is a real interest in an archives. Sandy

Linda, According to Middle Tennessee Marriages: Rebecca Ann Parham married Harvey Page 5/1/1847 (5/2/1847) Davidson Co. Pam -- ----------------------------------------------------- Click here for Free Video!! http://www.gohip.com/freevideo/

Hi Listers, About 1847 in Davidson co. Rebecca Parham married Harvey or Henry Page. They settled in Cheatham county and raised their family. Does anyone have any kind of information on Rebecca Parham. I would also like to clear it up as to who she married, Harvey or Henry. The 1850 census of Davidson co was not very clear on the writing of his name. They did have a son named John (another John) in 1848 or 9. If anyone can help out I would greatly appreciate it. I can't find any links to her at all. I am researching the Page family of Davidson, Cheatham, and Montgomery counties. Linda in MS [email protected]

There have been several posts about the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle's "new" web site at www.theleafchronicle.com For now, if someone mentions an article or obit, it's only available that particular day. The good news is that there are plans to archive much of the web site---including the obits. The bad news is that there is no time frame for this being done. If you visit this web site, there is an email address for you to contact the Leaf Chronicle. I have done this a few times to ask questions about the web site (i.e.---when would the obits be on-line?). I have told the newspaper that I am on several genealogy lists and that people from all over the country are interested in local obits. It was a matter of days and the obits were on-line! These people seem to be listening! Just a suggestion---maybe if more of us asked about an archives for the web site, they would see the interest and have it available sooner! As I said, they "do" listen and they will respond to your email. Sandy Ellis

Regarding no smiles in old photos--also keep in mind that people for the most part didn't have very good teeth either -- some might have been self-conscious. Linda

As many of you know, I have been working on a book of the Rye families with Bob Rye and it is now at the printers and will be ready in about two weeks. To learn more about it, contact me at: [email protected] Thanks, Elsie

The Weakley book shows her parents as Peter and Susannah Coffee, and says James and Hannah Weakley witnessed the will of Peter Coffee in Prince Edward Co, VA (WB 1 p 132, dated Jan 31, 1771 and recorded Sept 16, 1771). Her siblings were shown as William, Peter, Joshua, Thomas, Catherine, Mary, Bettie, Lydia, and Elizabeth.

Parham Family information. I was looking at some pages I have from a book called "North Carolina Taxpayers, 1701-1786" and on the page with the family I was looking for are some Parhams. Page 154 Avery Parham, 1769, Granville Co. Henry Parham, 1769, Granville Co. Isham Parham, 1769, Granville Co. John Parham, 1769, Granville Co. Richard Parham, 1771, Franklin-Warren-Vance William Parham, 1769, Granville Co. William Parham, 1784, Granville Co. William Parham, 1762, Northampton Co. You might know this already, or it might give you another clue. Deanna ----Original Message----- From: Lugenia R.

Does anyone have any information about Hannh Coffee who married James Weakley s/o Robert? I am interested in learning who her parents were, where they came from, etc. Thanks for any information. Sara Romano [email protected]

Julie: Thanks. I had all of this except the marriage to Randall Metcalf. I didn't know about that one. Harriett used her maiden name in the other three marriages. At first I thought there were several Harrietts, but proved they were all the same person. I found two different marriage records for Harriett and Samuel Scudder, one in Montgomery County in 1868 and another in either Dickson or Stewart County in 1871. I found the last one in a book and could never find it on the microfilm. The 1880 Montgomery County census shows Florence Scudder, age 6, as being born in Illinois, so Harriett must have been in Illinois about 1874. But it also shows Florence's father as being born in Illinois, and I know that is not correct, if Samuel Scudder really was her father. I wonder what Harriett was doing in Illinois. Mary

They looked that way because of the slow film it took a lot more time to take and they had to hold the pose for long time without movement. C. Comer

Thanks so much, it came through fine and is my family. I greatly appreciate your assistance. marilyn -----Original Message----- From: Corizzo, Hope A.

While visiting Springfield, Illinois and Abe Lincoln's historical places , I was told that it took hours to make a picture and people often had to stand for a few hours to make a picture. Many wore wool in the summer so it was not a pleasant thing to do. It would be hard to hold a smile for hours. Just a thought. Carrol

I understand that there are several Bryants buried at Fort Campbell in a cemetery. Sarah, I believe is connected to my line. Is there any way I could get a list of who is in this cemetery? marilyn -----Original Message----- From: Corizzo, Hope A.

I believe that our relatives were hard working people, they got up at the crack of dawn and went to sleep when it was dark. Most did not have great luxuries in life, so they did not have 100s of photos of their own family members smiling back at them on their hallways or from photo albums. They stood there and took the picture - what the camera captured was who they were with no pretense. Life was hard, but they were making it and able to afford a photo of their family - so life was "getting good" to have this luxury.
