(Forwarded with permission from Jill Hastings-Johnson.) To keep you posted on the cemetery bills: In case you have not been following the proposed legislation regarding Tennessee law and cemeteries, please read. Here's an update on the pending cemetery legislation. Please! let's call, write, e-mail our representatives, now. This has been placed on the Senate Regular Calendar for Monday, 7 May. There are no more hearings on the Senate side only debate. I have been told the most likely outcome will be a vote on Monday. If passed, this bill will be very restrictive to all of us who work to record, protect, and preserve cemeteries in Tennessee. On the House side the bill & amendment is currently at the House Calendar & Rules Committee, but I haven't been able to find out anything further. For copies of both the House and Senate bills, and the amendments which were passed, unanimously in both committees, last week, please go to http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/ and click on Legislation in the left index column. Enter SB1804 and then HB1353, to read both the original bills and the amendments. The Senate amendment changes the duty of owners of private property owners to allow ingress and egress to encourage owners to allow ingress and egress. It took out the wording about a visitor having to be specifically designated in writing but now adds that any maintenance or a grave site or cemetery, including the manner of such maintenance, must be approved in writing by the landowner. And many times, the current landowner is not a family member, nor may he be aware he doesn't own the cemetery. The House amendment is still very restrictive, imo. The House amendment still includes Section 4 (a) "In order for a family member, descendant or the designee of a family member of a deceased person, or a person engaging in genealogical research to exercise the right of ingress and egress to a cemetery or to graves on private property as eligible persons, such friend or researcher must have been specifically designated in writing as such by a member of the family or a descendant of the deceased." [underline is my emphasis] There's more, please take time to read these bills and amendments and speak with your representative!! Jill Hastings-Johnson Montgomery County Archives P. O.

Hello, I have been researching the Maxwell and allied families for many years. One allied line is that of Campbell Poston (1816-1865) and his wife Harriet Maxwell (1820-1882). The original information I have on this family was generously shared with me over twenty years ago by Robbie Melton Beaver, Thelma Smith Ramsey and Dessie Langford and I have tried to expand on what they gave me. According to the findings of these researchers two of the sons of Campbell Poston and Harriet Maxwell—Charles and James—married “Phares” or Pharris women. Charles Poston (1840-1907) the elder of the two married Mary Jane Pharris the daughter of William Pharris and his wife Caroline Hinds. Charles and Mary Jane Pharris supposedly had only three children—two daughters who died quite young and James William Poston (1871-1907). Charles Poston then later married Nancy Elizabeth Brown and this family moved to Cooke Co., Texas. James Poston, has no grave that I can find, was said to have been born in 1848 and died in 1865, and that he was married to a “Miss Phares”. In none of the research I have seen on this family, have I ever found that James Poston and his wife had a child. However, recent findings lead me to that conclusion. I believe it is likely that James Poston married Sarah E. Pharris and that they had one son and that Sarah Pharris Poston also died quite young. The William Pharris and Caroline Hinds household was enumerated in the 1860 census as follows: 1860 Census Overton Co., TN p 166B William Farris 39 TN Caroline 44 TN Thomas 20 TN Sarah E. 11 TN Mary J. 8 TN Then in the 1870 Census it is : 1870 Census Overton Co., TN p 273B William Pharies 50 TN Caroline 54 TN And finally on the 1880 census which is of most interest to me: 1880 Census Overton Co., TN p 275B William Pharris 59 TN Caroline 64 TN William C. Poston (grand-son) 13 TN Father’s BP-TN Mother’s BP-TN The problem is that according to this census record William C. Poston was born about 1866/1867. James Poston died supposedly on March 12, 1865. So there must be a mistake somewhere. This William C. Poston is never mentioned in the records of the Charles Poston family as being a son of Charles Poston and Mary Jane Pharris. Charles Poston’s grand-daughter Kenneth Marie (Pybas) Clifton (1911-2005) was an active researcher of her genealogy. So I don’t think he could have been missed, especially when from the same source I have that Charles Poston and Mary Jane Pharris had two daughters who died quite young and that he had a nephew Billy Poston. In the OVERTON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIET NEWSLETTER (Vol. 8; Issue 1), Spring 2004 page 21 there is an article “Poston’s Buried in Texas”. It is a survey of the Barlow Cemetery in Warren’s Bend, Cooke Co., Texas. It focuses only on those graves connected with the Charles Poston family. The information comes from Kenneth Pybas Clifton in 1985 it states that “part of the information taken from tombstones and other information word-of-mouth via Nancy Elizabeth Brown Poston”. What struck me was item #7: “Roxie Poston, wife of Billy Poston who was a nephew of Charles Poston. She died sometime in the first decade of 1900. She was born in Hilham, TN. Roxie and her husband, Billy, rode horseback from Hilham, TN to Warrens Bend, TX about 1906-1910. Her grave is unmarked” According to my records Charles Poston only had two nephews named “William”. The first was William Robert Poston who went almost exclusively by “Robert” and in any event married Helen Hawkins in 1892 and stayed married to her until his death in 1911. The other William Poston was born in 1895 and would have been, I believe, too young to have been married and ridden horseback to Texas in the 1906-1910 timeframe. I have found additional evidence of a Roxie Poston in “The (Livingston, TN) Weekly Crescent” for Tuesday, September 20, 1898. “Hilham: Roxie Poston has been very sick.” So if this is the same Roxie, which I think is very likely, she was married before the date of the paper cited. I can find no record in Overton Co for the marriage of Billy and Roxie, but by searching the census and especially near-by residences to the Pharris and Poston families, I have found a likely candidate: Roxie Carmack daughter of James M. Carmack. According to LDS Records she was born on March 3, 1871 which would make her the right age to have married William C. Poston b. abt 1866. I cannot find any more info on William. I cannot find a William/Billy Poston or Roxie Poston on the 1900 census (for Overton Co. ) or the 1910 census, but I may have missed something. I find Postons under so many various misspellings (Posten, Paston, Poshon, Pasten, etc) that I may have overlooked him listed under yet another variation of the name. Does anyone know anything about this William C. Poston? Did he marry Roxie Carmack? Was he the son of James Poston and Sarah E. Pharris? Thanks for your help, James M.
