Wilma, Thanks for the feedback. I'm also sending this to the Pickett Co list as I would like any possible feedback from anyone who might know about Ida Bowles/Boles. I will tell you what I know about Ida. She was from Byrdstown, but I haven't learned her parents' names yet. There is an Ida Boles in the 1900 census for Pickett Co TN, but she is not old enough to be my Ida. Ida was born 11-13-1882, and married John H. Matthews/Mathews about 1901. The Ida M. Boles in the 1900 census is the dau. of Milton Boles and born December 1873. John Matthews and Ida Bowles/Boles adopted a dau. named Dora Mae, b. about 1900 in Missouri. She married a Chesser. I know nothing else about Dora Mae. Am looking for when and where she died, hisband given name and any family they may have had. John and Ida also had a dau. (presumed biological, but may be adopted) named Connie, born August 12, 1911 in KY. She married Ralph Gordon Vanderpool, born about 1909 in TN. They had a son, W. Gordon Vanderpool, born about 1928 in Scott Co TN. Connie died January 19, 1941 in Scott Co TN, and is buried in the Stoey Cemetery in the Mt View community. The last name on her tombstone is Storey, so I assume she either divorced or was widowed from Vanderpool, and married a Storey. Her tombstone was erected by her son, as indicated by the inscription on it. As I learned some of this after I made a trip to Scott Co to visit the cemetery, I don't know if husbands Vanderpool and Storey are buried in the same cemetery. That's about it. Any help would be appreciated.

I remember the boy's name was Donald and he would be to young to be the Gordon you mention, and I think he and his sister lived with a Lawhorn, parents were dead or something happened to them. The second was the Boles woman, do you know anything else about her? Was she related to George Boles of Robbins? The reason I ask is JoAnn Shoemaker of Rugby Road is his daughter and she knows a lot about the people of Scott County. They might be relatives. The Storey cemetery you found, I'm not sure where it is, but I do know that the Storeys came from Pickett Co., TN. I can't remember her name but one of the girls went to school with my brother, and they lived on what is now old US # 27 at a place called Mt. View. I think her name was Betty, but wouldn't bet money on it. The Storeys that were daughters of Dud Storey at Glenmary were school teachers, I had one of them for a teacher. Don't know if this will help or not, but might give you a clue of maybe who to ask questions. Wilma Gibson Kokomo, IN

Dear family & friends, It's that time of year again! Andrew & Sally Koger Beaty Reunion Saturday, November 4, 2006 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. Wolf River Methodist Church Pall Mall, Tennessee October 5, 2006 Dear Family & Friends, The Eleventh Annual Andrew and Sally Koger Beaty Reunion is the first Saturday in November, just one month away. And since our mailing is limited to those who are children or grandchildren of Andrew and Sally, we depend upon you to help us get the word out. We do send e-mail announcements to all family members and friends of our grandparents that we have addresses for, so please give us anyone's e-mail address that you know would like to have an invitation to attend. Our announcement will be in the Fentress Courier and the Pickett Press newspapers for two weeks prior to the event. Again this year we are asking you to bring old family pictures, especially pictures of Granddad and Granny. We will have a copier on hand so you can make copies of any photos or documents on a cost recovery basis. Also, if you have a cherished item that belonged to either Granny or Granddad, and can bring it, we will have a table set up to display the items. There will be cards that you can write your name on and any special memories you have related to the item. We will call this the Andrew and Sally Beaty Heirloom Display. Please plan to have your items there by 11:30 at the latest, so everyone will have a chance to see them. So, come early to the Reunion, bring your family, your heirloom items, your old pictures, something good to eat, and something to share with others. That's a lot, but it will be fun and interesting. If you want to meet everyone, get there before 12:00 p.m. and stay until the end. Our Great-grandmother (Grandad's mother) was Mary C. "Polly" Matthews. I recently found her brother, John H. Matthews and his wife Ida Bowles (Boles) Matthews, buried in the Storey Cemetery, between Oneida and Robbins, TN. Since then, I have discovered that they had an adopted daughter named Dora Mae, who married a Chesser. I don't know where she is buried. They also had another daughter, Connie, who first married Ralph Gordon Vanderpool and second married a Storey. She is buried in the same cemetery as her parents. She had a son by her first husband named W. Gordon Vanderpool, born about 1928. See you at the Reunion! Willie

Surnames: Claiborn, Cravens Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VgB.2ACE/681.1 Message Board Post: Vickie: I have some information on Robert Claiborn. I have been trying to connect that family with William Claiborn who came to Virginia in 1620 and surveyed Jamestown. Dr. Robert Tanner Claiborn was a Union Army recruiting officer during the Civil War. (PriD1TN/Inf 1865/FITZ Fentress) He lived in the Back Creek area and is buried in what is known as Shadow Grave Yard or Sinking Springs near Red Hill in Fentress County. He first married Hanna Zachary whose family were said to have supported the north during the Civil War. Robert and Hanna had seven children together before Hanna died. When the Civil War started several families who supported the northern cause were driven from their homes in Tennessee and fled to Kentucky. Robert Claiborn married Mary Ann Kerney in the early 1860s and had eight children with her. They may have relocated to Kentuckey during the war. Robert Claiborn is not found in the 1850 Fentress County Census. In 1880 Dr. Robert Claborn was living in District 7, Fentress County, Tennessee with Mary. They has seven children living with them William, 13; Robert E., 10; Samuel, 8; Marion,6; Cinda, 5; Henry C., 4; and Martha, 2. Robert E. and Samuel were born in Kentuckey thus he must have lived there between 1870 ans 1872. Arlene
