Carolyn, I'd be interested in the book on the Bell Witch. My grandmother was in The Bell line and her name was Mary Bell Lamb. I haven't been able to research that line yet but am working my way there.Thank you for the offer.

Hi Beth, I have also checked all your responses to requests for lookups in Tennessee in hopes of seeing some my folks too; its been wonderful to see this much activity on the list after such a long time of near silence! I had almost given up trying in Tennessee; It was most kind of you to make such a sweet, generous and classy offer in the first place!! Ignore the distracters and STEP TO THE HEAD OF THE LINE.......... God bless, Lillie in California

Sorry. No connection. My John Vaughn married Etta Mize in Mo.

Hey my aol changed the spelling in the Brents. e-mail so the names from me on lost family were Brents. Janet Ferris

Page 286. To James Hunt ,James Taylor, and Elisha White, Gentlemen, Greeting. John Brent and Margaret , his wife by their deed of July 11.1763, sold to David Caldwell of L, about 500 acres of land in L. Margaret cannot conveniently travel to our county court to make acknowledgment of the deed. You are therefore authorized to go to Margaret to receive her acknowledgment. Signed July 12,in the 3rd year of our reign- William Taylor.. Lunenburg Sc. We examined Margaret and she relinquished her right of dower to the conveyed lands. Signed Aug 25, 1763-James Taylor, Elisha White. Recorded Nov. 10, 1763 I found this on some Brunets in Lunenburg,VA, Janet Ferris

I have a Matilda Shields that married a John Vaughn, the Shields family were in Warren, White and Dekalb Counties in Tennessee.

I hope I am posting this to the right location. I have a gr gr grandmother who was Mary (Polly) Brents, b. abt. 1805, and married to James Clift, also b. abt. 1805. They are in the Lincoln County, TN, 1850 Census in Lincoln County, TN. I am trying to find the parents of Mary Brents. Census shows her born in NC. Also trying to determine the parents of James Clift. Census shows him born in TN. They are shown in the 1860 Census of Lincoln County, TN, and are both shown as age 54-55. After that they totally disappear. I have the names of their children, but nothing about their parents. Anyone out there looking for Clifts or Brents. The spelling could have been Brent, as they seemed to use that name both ways. There were several other Brent/s in the area at around the same time frame and no one who is researching them can determine their ancestors either. We feel they were related, as they lived and married in same county. Thanks. Joyce Park Riggs

I'm searching for Newton Clark and wife Artimiss, had 3 girls, Addie, Maggie and Jessie Lee (my grandmother) in Humphreys Co. TN. Artimiss and 3 girls are on the 1900 census but no mention of Newton. What happened to him and when? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Jessie Hopwood e-mail [email protected]

I am looking for my G-Grandfather's family. He was Smith Vaughn. Born in Davidson Co. SC. I am not sure when his family moved to Southeast TN. He was there during the Civil War. He married Mary A. ( last name unknown) My Grandfather John Vaughn was born in TN. in 1867. I don't know what county. They moved to southeast MO. soon after his birth. Do the names Smith and Mary A. Vaughn ring a bell with anyone? Thanks for any help. Freda Gavin

Hi List, I haven't been watching all of this real close, BUT, from what I have seen so far, AND, what I honestly believe that these mailing lists ARE for, is the UNSELFISH sharing of family information. This list has been real inactive lately and I think that when you have these sharing times and/or discussion times they should be welcomed and openly shared and appreciated. I wish that I had had the time to have paid more attention to what was going on. I would probably have asked for a look-up also. This is what you join these mailing lists for. If it is too much trouble to look at what is sent, keep what you need and discard the rest, then unsubscribe and go pay somebody a big high price for the same information. (I have seen this same thing happen, at one time or another, on almost every mailing list I have been on in the last 2 years.) You know, there is probably not a chance in H_ _ _ that I will ever get to Tennessee to do hands on research. To have someone who is so very willing to not only share what information they have, but their own time as well, thats a blessing. Beth, please continue. We need more like you.
