The following is also something to ponder... If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married .... you are very rare, even in the United States and Canada. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

For those of you who have relatives buried in Hooker Cemetery, you will be glad to know that it is currently accessible!! Bowater has opened up a rough road leading to the cemetery, while they are logging in that area. Fortunately, Kaye Buckner Presley notified us about this. She states they have a wonderful attitude, and are VERY careful in their logging operations around the cemetery. She states the road is EXTREMELY rough, and you will have to park about a mile from the cemetery, and hike the rest of the way. Kaye is going to get us pics, and we will be sharing them with all of you. Thanks again to Kaye for her generosity!!

McNamara [mailto:billie@tnhillbillie.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 5:20 PM To: Recipient list suppressed Subject: [TN-all] Age of consent for marriage in 1849 Decision in THE GOVERNOR, for the use of SMITH v. RECTOR AND RYLAND, September, 1849, by the TN Supreme Court included this tidbit: HEADNOTES: MARRIAGE--AGE OF CONSENT--CONSENT OF PARENTS. In this state a marriage entered into by parties of the age of consent, fourteen years for males and twelve for females, is valid, without the consent of parent or guardian. [ Acc. Warwick v. Cooper, 5 Sneed, 660, citing this case.] Is the want of consent of the father to the marriage of a child under the age of twenty-one years, lawful cause to obstruct, or nvalidate, the marriage? We think not. The principle of the common law upon this subject, remains unchanged in this State. By the common law, males at the age of fourteen, and females at twelve, were competent to enter into the marriage relation, or, in the language of the books, were of the age of consent. And if the parties themselves were [**7] of the age of consent, there wanted no other concurrence to make the marriage valid; and this was agreeable to the canon law. 1 Bla. Com. 436, 437. If a boy under fourteen, or a girl under twelve years of age, marries, such marriage is only inchoate, and imperfect; and when either of them reaches the age of consent, he or she may disagree and declare the marriage void, without any divorce, or sentence in the spiritual court. But, if at the age of consent the parties agree to continue together, it is so far a marriage, that they need not be married again. Id. The common law so remained until the 26 George 2, ch. 32, which enacted that all marriages celebrated by license, [*62] without the consent of the father, or, if he be dead, of the mother, or guardian, shall be absolutely void. This statute, which never was in force in this State, was repealed by the 4 George 4, ch. 76. And although the 16th section of the statute re-enacts the like provisions in respect to the consent of parents and guardians, except that it does not declare the marriage void, yet it is held to be only directory, and the want of such consent does not affect the validity of the marriage. See 1 Stephens N. [**8] P. 16; 8 B. and C. 29. The only provision we find, in the legislature of North Carolina or of this State, upon this subject, is contained in the 6th section of the Colonial act of 1741, ch. 1, which directs that the clerk shall take bond, with security, in the penalty of fifty pounds, that there is no lawful cause to obstruct the marriage; and in case of minors, if not heretofore married, the consent of the parent or guardian shall be personally given before the clerk, or signified under the hand and seal of the parent or guardian, attested by two witnesses. And, by a subsequent clause, the clerk was subject to forfeit fifty pounds, if a license were issued contrary to said act. This requirement of the act of 1741, in respect to the consent of parents, is wholly omitted in the act of 1778, ch. 7, and is repealed thereby. But, were it otherwise, the 6th section of the act of 1741, is merely directory to the clerk, and could not in the slightest degree affect the validity of the marriage for want of such consent. It follows, therefore, that, in this State, a marriage entered into by parties of the age of consent, though under the age of twenty-one, is valid, without the [**9] consent of parent or guardian. [*63] 2. Whether upon the facts alleged in the third count of the declaration, the plaintiff might not maintain the common law action for the loss of services of his daughter, is a question that does not arise upon this record. If his right to do so were conceded, it is very clear that he could not, for that cause maintain an action upon the license bond, because, upon the facts set forth in the declaration, the law regards the female as "the party grieved," and she alone is entitled to recover the penalty. **** TN-All mailing list, discussion list of TNGenWeb/TNGenNet.

Since DNA data was unknown in the 1950s there was no profile on these personnel. The Army can now conduct DNA on the remains, but they have an incomplete databse of DNA form family close family members with which to compare. There are several on the list for the state of Tennessee and some may be from your county. Please look at the list and see if any from you county are annotated with needing DNA "Yes". If find one, look under DNA and see what relative is acceptable. Then find a relative in your area that meets this criterion and send their name, address or phone number to the following contact at Department of the Army. There is not guarentee that the missing service member from your county will be found, but thru DNA testing the Army can confirm or eliminate him as a name for the remains that they have. This is an important service that we can provide to our fellow citizens. We owe this much to our service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country and in the name of freedom. Let us resolve to get all of these needed DNA for our state submitted. Steps to follow: 1. Look at the state List and find people from your county 2. copy and paste the service member data 5. Go to DNA database below and see if they need DNA, if not then the Army has what data they need. If they need DNA then you need to find a good DNA source. 6. Look under DNA on one of the pages and it will tell you what is acceptable. 7.

My ggg-grandmother, Jane Grady Askins, came to Texas from Polk Co., Tennessee with her five children about 1867-1868. They were in Collin Co. TX in 1870. Her husband, John Askins, was dead when she came to Texas. The family (either Askins or Grady) was said to have had a tan yard in Benton TN, and Jane Grady was said to have a brother who held some sort of political office in TN. I'm eager to learn more about the Askins/Haskins and Grady families in the Benton area in the 1800's. I would also like to find out if their tan yard was one of the businesses raided by the bushwhackers led by John Gatewood in 1864. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about this family. The 1850 and 1860 census entries are as follows: 1860 CENSUS Polk Co.
