Deanne, Thanks so much. As you may have noticed I am pretty new to this geneology tracking. When I go to Clarksville again, I will look it up. Thanks again.

Excuse me for jumping in here, but almost all the old photos that I see are of very stern people. Never smiling and I have always wondered why. Surely there was some dab of happiness in their lives. I do hope so. They always look as if they have been frightened. Any ideas why? Thanks. Jo... Shirley Gordon wrote: > Deanna, thanks.

Shirley, All these old photos are stern looking < LOL>. You should see the photo of my g-g grandmother Elizabeth , boy, that was one serious looking woman! She was a large woman too, they said - very tall and well endowed! Wouldn't want to have her tell me I was a bad kid!! Whew........ Have you looked at the Clark (e) families in Stewart Co. or Trigg Co. KY? Deanna

Shirley, Doesn't the Detroit area have a branch of the Federal Archives? If so, they would have microfilm copies of the Census records. Also, how about the nearest Family History Center Branch (Mormon Church). They will order microfilm records in for you at $ 3.50 each. Cheaper than traveling to Clarksville (although I love to do so too)! You can access the Mormon Church library card catalog through the internet, by going to www.familysearch.org You can also search the family name too. Lots of ways to look for information there. We're all here to help each other. Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you get a box of candy or flowers today!!! Deanna

Thanks, it is my family. I had seen that before. Does the household number have a reason. Like is there other documentation?

Shirley, I am sure you have this information too, but just in case - the Montgomery Marriage Book that I have shows that Sarah Clark married Samuel Suter on January 15, 1852. Here again, as with the census, it is not necessarily all the information that is shown in the marriage record. Sometimes the original marriage record will show the name of the bondsman or security, name of minister or justice of the peace, church, etc. Not always shown, but sometimes is, and this information may or may not be helpful to you. All of these books we have available to us are good, but there is nothing better than looking at the original records or a microfilm of them for the most complete and accurate information. Deanna

Shirley, Yes, the household number does have a reason. When the census enumerator went around he assigned every household a number. This is where you would look on the original census to find this family. There is more information given in the actual census than is extracted in this book or on the internet, such as relationship to each other, state of birth, occupation, value of real estate holdings, etc. The early census forms were not this good. As time goes on they began to ask for more information. As I am sure you know, for example, 1850 was the first US census that took names of all the people in the household and not just the head of the household. If you have access to the microfilm for the 1880 Census, it would give you a more complete picture of this family if you looked at the original Census. Deanna

Shirley, In the 1880 Census for Montgomery Co. there is listed: SUTTER S. age 65 (m), Sallie 52, R.C. 22 (m), Emma 20, Sallie 17, Isham 14, Sam 10, Household 449 This looks as if it could be your family. The age for Sallie is off, but that doesn't say much, except that one or both of the Census records could be wrong. Deanna

I am having a hard time finding information on Sarah Sally Clark married Samuel Watkins Suter (Suiter, the spelling changes with the next generation) in 1852. In the 1840 census she lived in the house with John Walter Suter and his wife. John was Sam's brother . Sarah would have been 23 in the 1840 census. I would appreciate any help.......

Elsie: My Heggie's are farther back but from the same area. Some married Baggetts and are buried together. Also they were living near Powers in 1850 census. I really think some of the Powers may have been Powells as they were living next door to a bunch of them but that is just a hunch. I have a couple more generations if you find out who Levi's parents were. Thanks, Debbie

Shirley: I have been looking for Heggie's in Montgomery County/ I have Jim Heggie son of Caroline daughter of Elizabeth Heggie. Do you chine anything about know family. Thanks, Debbie

Jan, I sent you an outline of the Baggett family to your personal email address. I hope this helps. Elsie

Elsie, Thank you so very much.. Faye

Jan, This sounds like one for Elsie Smith-- Linda Moss De Vita

Looking for parentage of two Baggett sisters, Elsie, b 1911, and Rosie. These two sisters married two Green(e) brothers, Walter and Wallace. I believe their father MAY have been Richard Baggett.

Shirley, The indention was wrong but the number was right. It has been fixed. Thanks for noticing. Please send information you have on this family so I can add to the files.

Hi, I looked at that web page and am confused about the birth of Susan Broome. It says she was born 1869-72 and her daugher Lucy A. Broome born 1875. Lucy A Broome was married to my gguncle James Isham Suiter so I have James and Lucy in my FTM but did not have her parents as Susan and Levi Heggie. I have Lucy A. Broomes parents as William Broome and Martha Baggett. Any one else confused? At 04:30 PM 2/8/01 -0600, you wrote: >Please view the web page for Rev. William F.
