Do any subscribers know the location of a Crabtree family cemetery in Roane Co., TN? It is mentioned in the published cemetery records of Roane Co., TN. Any information is appreciated. C. Ward [email protected]

This good news from the DAR in Roane County: Pat McDonald =============== The DAR and City of Kingston is restoring the ancient Bethel Cemetery. We have a company from McMinnville restoring the broken markers and "setting up" the unlevel markers. The City is furnishing prison labor to clean all the brush and overgrowth so it can be seen from the road. The markers will be cleaned when finished and the DAR is going to identify the markers plus researching records of those buried there and have not markers. When finished we are going to make a self-guided tour and map. Would you put this info on your web pages to your friends, asking those that have relatives/friends buried to come forward pass the info on to us/you. Also, they can contribute money - if so desired.

I have created a webpage with cemetery records of our Winton descendants It is a "work in progress". If you know of a Winton descendant who is not listed and you know where they were laid to rest, please let me know. Your are invited to visit our webpage: In Remembrance Cemetery Records of our Wintons http://sites.netscape.net/pawrobertwilson/homepage -- Peggy <'}}}}>< Winton Family Homepage http://sites.netscape.net/mawpeggywilson/homepage

Hi Audrae, I was just wondering about you the other day. I was setting at the comp as matter of fact. We can never thank you enough for donating it to us. Census records are very popular. How many do you have transcribed? I can put them up as long as they aren't already on the roanetnheritage page. In that case I could drop a link to them. Whatcha think?

Howdy List, I have been meaning to write the list for a week, but I have had some computer problems that has set me back. What are some things you would like to see on the web page? I am trying to put the items Marceline Beem left back together, but all of this does take time. I am here for your ideas....................... Jamey McLoughlin [email protected] usit.net

Jamey, How are you? How is the new computer working for the Historic Society? I hope all is well with all of you. I really look forward to getting back down there this year to do some more research. How about we transcribe some of the census records and put them on the webpage? I have the complete 1830 and 1900 census records here that I would be willing to do for you. Let me know if I can do anything... Audrae Mathis

I cannot respond about the James Preston Bible, but am very interested in hearing about your family. My grandfather of Loudon, TN, was James PRESTON Watkins and I've often wondered why that name was chosen. His parents were Nancy Brown HARt, dau. of George B. HART b 1816 TN and wife Ellen Ekens/Adkins/Ekins, and Wm. Douglas Watkins b 1843 TN, son of Wm. Watkins b 1805 TN and wife Margaret Byerley, dau. of Jasper Byerley/Bierley, Jr, of SC and wife Mary Moore b ca 1767. Do any of these surnames connect with your James Preston line? Doris in VA

List, I have learned that on Jesse Preston Sr.'s estate inventory on 7 Nov 1836 in Roane Co., TN there was listed among his items 3 spelling books, 1 Bible and a Dictionary. Jesse is my direct line. January term 1837. Jesse's wife Nancy bought the spelling books and the Bible for 75 cents. Their son George bought the Dictionary for 25 cents. Would someone know who has this Bible? In 1860 she was living with son Jesse but by 1870 she was head of household in Roane Co., P.O. Loudon. Would appreciate help in locating this Bible. Thanks Wanda

Good Morning! If anyone can take a picture of two graves at White's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, please let me know. I need a picture of the grave of Edward Watson Robbs, 1827-1894 and James Alex Robbs, 1803-1882. This is for a nice lady in CO who has absolutely no chance of getting to Roane Co. A digital picture would be just fine also. Please email me if you are close to this location.

William M. Scarbrough was born Tn. Would you have any info him or where I could find info of his birth. He was born Jul 1854. His parents were both from Tn.

But there is no records of his dealth or hers.It shows him on the 1900 Logan Co. Petit Jean twsp. His children were all born there.Thank you for any help you might give me. Linda P. of Ca.

Anyone close to White's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery? I need a picture for a elderly friend who lives in CO.

Thank you, That was beautiful. Donna HInes

We buried the last of my maternal line in late Apr. The pastor that did the service had an inspiring poem that I would like to pass on for your perusal. Standing over a tombstone, looking down at the birthdate and the dash, with the last date yet to be inscribed, it was very powerful. Pat How You Live Your Dash I read of a man who stood to speak At a funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning...... to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash "between" those years. For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth.... And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; The cars...the house... the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard.... Are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left That can still be arranged. If we could just slow down enough To concider what's true and real, And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love people in our lives Like we've never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile.... Remembering that this little dash Might only last a little while. So. when your eulogy's being read With your life's actions to rehash.... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash?
