Hi all- Some new info has been added to the pages. Some soldier info and a new section containing the papers of Randall Rubel of Clarksville. To date the Adams and Jones ( contains some Trotter pictures) family information has been posted. Thanks to Randy and Sandra Stacey for giving us this info. Remember, we are always looking for genealogical information to post to our pages. If you have anything you would like to share, please let me know. Frances

Hello folks, This is a very interesting site as I found several of my surnames (not necessarily my lines) throughout this site. Jean Hancock in TX From: SylviaSA@aol.com [mailto:SylviaSA@aol.com] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 9:37 AM To: ddhaines@earthlink.net Cc: bobbyjoemitchell@yahoo.com Subject: Link to add to Marshall Web Page <snip>...the link containing the index of people that applied to the Southern Claims Commission for reimbursement of their property by claiming to be Union loyalists? Because of Bobby's sharp eye, he noticed that I had an ancestor on the list and sent me the information necessary to request a copy of their file which contains 55 pages. I am so excited by the find I can hardly wait for it to arrive in the mail. Click here: <http://www.slcl.lib.mo.us/slcl/sc/scc/scc-geolist.htm> Geographical List of Southern Claims Commission Claimants If you decide to put the link, here is the address to write to request a search for the file: General Reference Branch (NNRG-P) National Archives and Records Administration 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20408 You can request only one applicant per letter. You will need to supply the State and County, as well as the name of the claimant and the claim number if you have it. A page count will be done and they will then create a Reproduction Order Price Quote and mail it to you. You can also file online to this address. wayne.decesar@nara.gov The same rules apply as above. I have included the address information because it took me several days of dilligent searching before I could find an address. I finally found one on a RootsWeb message board, but while they included the street name, they did not include the street number. I got that by going back to the NARA web page, which does not include an address specific to the SCC. Earlier I had emailed NARA and they responded back two weeks later with the address for electronic filing.

Thanks in advance, Debbie

For the person seeking CHRISTY info- I have about 140 CHRISTY's in my data base from the Montgomery/Dickson/Cheatham area. The earliest I have is "Thomas Ike CHRISTY" born Nov, 1830. His wife was one of my family, Susannah Groves. I have 2 sons and 3 daughters for them and then of course many others, some living in Dickson County today. Will gladly share any or all if this is the correct family. You may contact me directly at genkeeper@earthlink.net. Jon Wray Jon Wray genkeeper@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

Anyone have any information that might help this person? BTW- Some new material has been uploaded to the Montgomery County Web Site. Check it out!

Hi list, I thought I sent this from work, but I have not received a copy so I am sending it again. Most of you know Debbie McMinn. She has helped a lot of you with your Genealogy and has also contributed generously to the web site. Sam Weaver, Debbie McMinn and her mother Margaret Babb are the ones responsible for us having the Geneva Swain Collection. Debbie called me at work today to tell me her mother has died. Visitation will be tomorrow from 4-8 at Tarpley’s Funeral Home here in Clarksville. The funeral will be Thursday at 11.00. Lets all keep Debbie in our prayers. Sandra Stacey

I received this from another list and thought it might have be interesting to you all searching in the Montgomery County WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TN - CEMETERIES - McGavock Confederate Cemetery http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/williamson/cemeteries/mcgavock.txt Frances

The tornado pictures were pulled to make room for more info. I have tons to add to the web site, so Frances and I had to decide what to delete. If there is a particular picture you want to see, I have all of the pictures on CD. The CD's are also located in the County Archives and the Genealogy section of the library, Sandra Stacey

I recall from a visit to Clarksville many year ago there were plans to build a museum at or in the vicinity of the train depot. This interested me as my grandfather worked for the RR. Was it ever built?

Sometimes you just can't save some buildings. My daughter and I were there the summer of 99 and saw the destruction and didn't know till we got home that a tornado had been thru there. We thought Clarksville was just another one of those towns that doesn't like "old buildings". I hope that is not true and hopefully they are recovering. Clarksville is special to me and I'm planning to see what they have done in the fall. Thanks, Cleo. Be safe. Jo...............

The most interesting post-1999 tornado rebuilding is the "Glenn Building", which was on the NE corner of the courthouse facing Third St, that was demolished in favor of building another Courts Building, that was reconstructed as a duplicate one block west, now facing Second St, labelled "Glenn Building", now at the NW corner of the courthouse! A brick building, there were plans to relocate it, but it was finally decided to demolish and rebuild anew. The company that relocates brick lighthouses on the east coast was brought in to make the estimate, I believe I remember.............. Once again housing attorneys, as the first one did for perhaps 80 yrs or so! Mark Rassas, of Rassas and Rassas, made this happen. Cleo. > Thanks, Cleo.

Thanks, Cleo. I was wondering if it was destroyed in the tornado several years ago. Couldn't find the photos of the damage that were on this site. Thanks again. J.......

I think the cornerstone has the date 1898? on it; and it has been duplicated with some modern modifications in two adjacent attached buildings that all together constitute the "Customs House Museum" that was established by the late Ursula Smith Beach, then county historian and others. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bzbee" <bzbee@bellsouth.net> To: <TNMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 7:29 PM Subject: [TNMONTGO-L] ? about post office > I would like to know if the post office from the 1800s( and then the > electric company) is still at the corner of Commerce and 2nd St. It had > eagles on each corner and a cupola on top, with lots of terra cotta work > on it.

I would like to know if the post office from the 1800s( and then the electric company) is still at the corner of Commerce and 2nd St. It had eagles on each corner and a cupola on top, with lots of terra cotta work on it. Any info appreciated. J.
