Kathy, My great grat grandmother, Elizabeth Beltzhoover Cox Norris, helped found the Tenn. Orphans' Home. She traveled to PA,to Calif, probably Miss too, collecting money from her rich Beltzhoover relatives. Her contribution was written about in the book, "Picturesque Clarksville". I have an original application for admission to the orphanage which was kept in the family Bible. There is a large oil portrait of her in the family which we believe was painted in Calif. and it might have hung in the orphanage. Just a bit of trivia to add to the list. Deanna O.

Evans and Reunion Family and friends are all invited to attend the annual Nelson Reunion for the descendants of Jave and Ellen Evans Nelson on August 6, 2005, at the Farmers Grove Baptist Church fellowship hall in the Blockhouse Valley area of Anderson County, TN, beginning at 11:00 A. M. Bring food for a covered dish lunch at noon. There will be fun and games for the kids after lunch and music to be enjoyed by the adults. There will be the usual displays of family histories, pictures and other memorabilia, so bring anything you want to display. Jave and Ellen were married in Anderson County in 1877.They lived on Black Oak Ridge where the water tanks in Oak Ridge now set.Their children included David, Henry, Catherine Nelson Tadlock, Frank, Tom, Cynthia Nelson Wilson, Page, Taylor, Sam, and Clara Nelson Yerkes. Ellen was the daughter of Thomas J. and Permelia York Evans who moved to Tennessee from Knox County, Kentucky in the 1870's. Jave is thought to have been a direct descenda of Joseph Anderson for whom Anderson County is named. For more information, contact Carolyn Nelson Johnson at <mamawcarolyn@peoplepc.com>.

Thanks! J. Chapman was James Thurston Chapman and R. Chapman was his sister Ruby Chapman. They are the two youngest children of James Chapman and Susan H. Gilpin Chapman. Ruby never had children of her own, but raised her oldest sister's children after the sister died in Christian County, KY (Mollie Chapman married a Beaird, the children kept that spelling). James Thurston Chapman married Lee Ella McCarter and they moved to Christian County, KY and had a number of children and descendants of these Chapman's still populate that area of the state. My great grandfather was DeWitt Edward Chapman, a son of James Thurston Chapman.

Terry, I've seen him with 3 different middle initials but I truly believe that he used the middle initial "T" which may have stood for Thurston. His youngest child ... a son born in 1863 ... was named James Thurston Chapman. In the 5th Tennessee there is a "J.T. Chapman." This regiment pulled from Henry County which would make sense although I'm now trying to figure out how/why the family moved from Henry County to Montgomery county. The only thing I can figure is that they moved there so that the mother and older sisters could work in the Woolen Mill. Kathy Terry & Terrie McGhee <tmcghee@charter.net> wrote: Your James Chapman probably joined up in TN or KY. Try here: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I tried James Chapman, Confederate, TN and left the bottom 2 options open and got 9 hits then I tried KY and got 2. Do you have a middle name or initial? It would narrow down the possibilities.

Just found out an interesting fact about my great great grandfather and his sister. They are listed as residents of the Tennessee Orphan home in 1870. This home was set up for the orphans of Confederate soldiers who had died in battle. I had known that my ggg grandfather had lived until at least 1863 but was gone by the 1870 census. This leads me to believe that James Chapman died between 1863 and 1865. Now the question is how to find out what regiment he was in to see if I can find more info about his background. James Chapman was born about 1826 in Connecticut, at some point moved to Georgia (though I do not know whether that was with family or on his own) where he married Susan Gilpin in 1849 in Upson co., GA. Between 1851 and 1860 the family moved to Henry Co., TN. By 1870 the family, minus James, is living in Montgomery Co., TN. Any help is most welcome. Thanks. Kathy in FL THE TENNESSEE ORPHAN HOME On March 11, 1867 The Tennessee Orphan Home was established to care for and educate the children of Confederate soldiers who had been killed while fighting for the cause. The home consisted of one hundred and fifty acres of farm and a house which once belonged to Montgomery County Circuit Court Clerk Thomas Mumford. The home operated between 1867 and 1883. The 1870 U. S. Census of Montgomery County TN, Dist. 12, page 139 enumerated the following residents of the home: Name: RelationshipAge, race, gender RemarksMcKensie, H.36 WM ManagerManning, Jas.orphan 14 WM Alexander, W. orphan 12 WMHays, L.orphan13 WMAllison, S. orphan 12 WMShower, P. orphan10 WMCarter, T. orphan 12 WMCleam, J.orphan 12 WMNelson, W. orphan 9 WMWatson, Johnorphan8 WMCleam, Geo.orphan 8 WMHurst, Jno orphan9 WMTurner, Jas.orphan9 WMClark, Wm.orphan10 WMMcClure, T.orphan8 WMChapman, J. orphan7 WM Robertson, Wm. orphan11 WMManning, Jno. orphan10 WMAlexander, F.orphan8 WMShover, C.orphan9 WMShover, Jno.orphan7 WMBrown, Chas.orphan7 WMHobbs, Jnoorphan6 WMHobbs, Ellaorphan6 WFShaw, Robt orphan8 WMRoberts, Bettie orphan14 WFRobertson, M.orphan14 WFBrown, N.orphan14 WFCarter, Mollie orphan14 WFDuff, Sarah orphan14 WFAlexander, M.orphan13 WFBarclay, Fannieorphan14 WFBrown, Mary orphan12 WFGormley, Fannieorphan13 WFGormley, Ellenorphan12 WFElam, Sarahorphan12 WFHurst, Sarahorphan12 WFJohnson, Lucille orphan14 WFHurst, Martha orphan11 WFMcClure, Lula orphan10 WFGorham, M.orphan8 WFGorham, D.orphan7 WFCarter, Alice orphan8 WFHuce, Maryorphan6 WFClarks, S.orphan5 WFCole, Ruthorphan 8 WFCole, Nannieorphan7 WFTurner, S.orphan10 WFRoberts, L.orphan12 WFTidwell, Sarahorphan12 WFTidwell, Maryorphan7 WFWatkins, L.orphan11 WFJohnson, M. orphan10 WFJohnson, Nettieorphan8 WFTomlison, S. orphan10 WFTomlison, M. orphan8 WFWinson, Nettieorphan8 WFWinson, Lettieorphan8 WFShaw, Mattieorphan7 WFAllison, Emmaorphan8 WFHumphrey, Emmaorphan7 WFJackson, Kate orphan9 WFJenkins, Mattie orphan5 WFJohnson, Mary Employee41 WFMcClure, A.Employee30 WFShover, C.Employee39 WFCole, E.Employee35 WFBrown, Jane Seamstress40 WFTomlison, M.Teacher 26 WFCarter, Eliza Teacher28 WFJenkins, MaryTeacher32 WFParsons, J.orphan8 WFChapman, R. orphan10 WF Kathy in FL mamkmm2@prodigy.net http://www.easyfunschool.com Free Newsletter: EFSNewsletter-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

This isn't genealogy but is "news" for Clarksville-Montgomery County. As I write this message, ABC's crews should be "somewhere" in Montgomery County filming Ty Pennington as he surprises a local family. "Extreme Home Makeover" is scheduled to be in town for the next week or so and I know (for fact) that the local people involved have to be on the set at 3:00 Saturday morning. (Maybe I'll get a photo of Ty and crew!) Sandy Ellis

Hi everyone. I'm trying to determine who the father of John Parker (born about 1820 in TN, married Caroline Southwood/Southward in 1842) is. In the 1840 census there are four Parker men, all with families. Can anyone identify these men? Do you know whether they were related to John Parker or did John come from outside Montgomery county? Parker, T.W. 03001001 0001101 Parker, W. 000001001 00000000101 Parker, William 100001 1001 Parker, Wm. 0012210011 0020001 In the 1830 census for Montgomery County, TN there are three Parker households: John Parker Thomas B. Parker Willie Parker In the 1820 census for Montgomery County, TN there are five Parker households: Elizabeth Parker Jehu Parker John Parker Willie Parker William Parker There are no Parkers in the 1800 census, so I figure that before that time they probably came from either the Carolinas or VA ... though even for that I'm not sure. Thanks for any help. Kathy in FL

Hi Listers, If you are on the Montgomery County researchers' list, please check your email addy and let me know if there are any changes. I have gotten a number of inquiries about invalid email addresses from this list. Hope each of you has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Frances

I have a copy of a copy of a copy of a picture from a book, probably a Montgomery County book. I would dearly love to have an original copy or scan, and I am hoping someone can help me. I do not know what book it came from---all I have is this very faint Xerox copy. The picture is 8.5 X 11 inches in size, taking up one whole page of the book. It is a picture of a family in front of a store (I think it's a store---it's very hard to see). It was probably taken about 1890 or 1895. The caption reads that the family is that of W.E. Buck (William Estes Buck). Mr. Buck is standing. There are small children lined up on the left. One little girl has a bandaged foot. A dog is in the picture, definitely unposed :-) To the right is a buggy with two young ladies in it. It is a fairly close-up picture. It is such an unusual picture of my great grand uncle and his family. It would be a great treasure to me, as I have almost no pictures from that generation. Please, I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction. Thanks-------- Donna in Texas
