Hi Jeanette, You are so right about Arabella or Belle as we called her. She was my granny. Zeda was her mother and apparently her father was married. As you can imagine way back then that just didn't happen. They say that they kept Belle in the house until she was about ten yrs. old. Celina and Moses raised her like their own daughter. Do you have the article about Arkley being the oldest confederate soldier? I have it if you don't. I don't live in Tennessee. Grew up in Ky. and live in Florida now. I visited Overton County about four yrs ago. It hadn't changed much since I used to go there when I was a kid. Good hearing from you, Betty ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
