I am looking for the parents and the Native American ancestry of James JACQUES and wife Rebecca MATHIS who appears on the 1850 Roane Co census. On this census (p.833) he is shown as JAGARSH, Jos. 24, Rebecca 22, Emily J. 1. James married Rebecca MATHIS in 1848 in Roane Co TN. On other documents he has appeared with the surnames JAQUES/JAGARSH/JAQUISH/JAGNISH/JAQUESS. On the 1880 Jackson Co AL census James is shown as JAQUESS and it indicates he was born in TN and his mother (name unknown) was born in TN. James appears on the 1900 Cullman Co AL census (p.38A) with his wife of 3 years Mary HALE. He is shown as 73 and born in April 1827 TN. The spelling on James' last name is JAQUISH. A candidate for James's father is Isaac JAQUISH who appears on the 1840 Polk Co TN census 221001-002001. On the 1850 census Isaac is listed on p.788 with the last name JAGNISH. On the 1830 census Isaac along with his brothers John Jr and Gabriel, and their father John Sr. separately appear. On this census John Sr. (age 70-80) is shown with two males under age 5 and one male 15-20. Is James one of these males under age 5? Is James the son of Isaac JAQUISH/JAGNISH? It is clear from family records and from photographs that James was Native American. What are his Native American roots? Cherokee? What Native American groups were in Roane Co TN in the 1820-1850 period? Was Rebecca MATHIS (the wife of James JACQUES) also Native American? Any help would be very appreciated.

thank you so much and I don't expect to find much on my relatives they were poor people who just got by and they are very elusive. Thank you for doing this and I know what you mean I have purchased several books from Claiborne Co Tenn. only to be disappointed in not finding my family in there. They moved from Roane to Claiborne and then back to Roane. I knew that you would be swamped with request and I bet you wished you had not of offered. Well Happy Holidays to you and your family.

There is an effort to extend copyright protection beyond the current 70 years and increase it another 20 years. Guess who is behind this? The Walt Disney company because guess who turns 70 real soon. Its all about money and making sure that nothing becomes part of the public domain. The copyright laws on printed matter used to be 35 years. That seemed long enough but Congress doubled it to 70 a few years ago. That sure seems long enough doesn't it? So now you can only copy books published prior to 1932. Regards, Robert Cowan

Well said. For more information regarding Copyrights, history, etc. the Library of Congress's web site http://www.loc.gov/ Has excellent information. The copyright laws changed a few years ago. Some things like official public records, census, land records, registered wills, books written before a certain date, etc. are public domain and therefore are not under the copyright law. You can include it in your research and you should document it in your files. How you use the information in your own words in your research is your material and can be copyrighted. Material on a web site is like a book because the person who set it is uses his or her personal talents to design it, and is under his or her copyright. The contents should reflect the work of the designer or have permission from the "author" of the material to present it on the site. Errors of various kinds occur in all information such as census, public records, books, etc. because handwriting often is hard to read. Styles change over time and penmanship varies from time to time even within an individuals lifetime. Some times people change the spelling of their name. And sometimes other people change it for you. My name spelling is common in East Tennessee, however else where in this great country it is not very common and is spelled many ways. The most common misspelling is Lester or Leona. And with a middle name of Mac that comes back Mae, I understand how record errors can occur and reoccur with out being corrected even with spell check.

Bravo Pat! I so thoroughly agree with your post re: copyright infringement/plagiarism and am happy to see someone bring up this subject. Here is a link to a page that defines plagiarism, copyright, etc. that should help explain the differences between the two and exactly what each means but basically plagiarism is passing off someone else's work as your own and copyright infringement is publishing all or part of a copyright protected book, document, song, etc. with or without credit being given to the author. http://www.library.ualberta.ca/guides/plagiarism/terminology/index.cfm#plagiarism All postings to this, and all other Rootsweb Lists, are copyright protected by the originator and technically you may not forward a post made by someone else without their permission. "Fair Use" means that you may excerpt a small portion of a copyright protected publication and publish it: example, a list of the surnames of Early Settlers of Roane Co. with attritubtion ot the author of whatever book you are taking that info from. Facts of our ancestors lives, births, deaths, etc., are in of themselves public information and not copyright protected; a compilation of those facts can be copyrwritten. ===== Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/maryland.html __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

To update new folks, there are several very good books and other publications available for Roane County. I have compiled a few on my Roots of Roane Page at http://www.roanetn.com/court.htm This has links to Bailey Publishing, and Oliver Springs Historical Society. The latter organization is publishing re-prints of Snyder E. Roberts' Roots of Roane book, and several volumes of History of Oliver Springs. http://www.oshistorical.com/society.htm On the first page of the Roane Heritage site, scroll to the bottom and see the list there. http://www.roanetnheritage.com/ You can get to Bailey Publishing from there too, and will find many wonderful reference works available. Mr. Bailey and his associates enjoy excellent reputations for accuracy in the Roane genealogical community. Over the years, the Roane Gen. Society had many publications. When it recently disbanded, it turned over some excellent books to the Heritage Society for distribution. I especially like the census books done by local people, as opposed to other publishers. And of course, one can now purchase CDs of digital census records from a couple of sources. Incidentally, use Mrs. Wells' books with caution. I don't have the book, but believe she does not often indicate her sources. Another book that contains some errors involving Roane folks is Tennessee Cousins. Not everything, of course. Good idea to double check with original records on all printed material, or websites, of course. Pat McDonald www.roanetn.com

The original of this book was indeed out of print for a long time, because I tried to find it. However, Heritage books.com released it again the past couple of years and you can now get a copy there.
