Hello Folks, I am new to this list and hope we can exchange some data. Most of my work so far has been in VA, SC, GA, and AL but now the trail has led to TN. I need help finding a marriage record (implied or actual) for an Edward WADE b. 1760 VA (probably b. in Pittsylvannia Co VA) who married a Nancy or Ann (surname unknown). I believe this marriage took place in TN. The father of Edward WADE received land grants (from Rev. War service) in the Sullivan Co area of TN and in the late 1770s or early 1780s they moved from VA to TN. I suspect the marriage of Edward WADE and Nancy/Ann UNKNOWN would have been between 1778-1790. Does anyone know if there are abstracts of these early TN marriages? This Edward was the son of Edward and Mary Clements WADE. Siblings of Edward are: Lucy, David, Grissel, Peyton, Richard, James, Mary, Thomas, and Chloe. I believe all these folks were born in VA. About 1790 the family split up and left TN with some going to Greene Co GA and others going to Pendleton Dist SC. I know a great deal about this family but very little about Edward and his wife Nancy (or Ann). I would very much appreciate any assistance in finding the maiden name of Nancy. Thank you, Eldon mailto:ewade@cfl.rr.com Researching: WADE, HAMES

could someone with access to the 1900 Lee co., VA census tell me if there is anything listed for James and/or Elizabeth Williams. They were in the 1880 Lee Co., Rose Hill, Census at ages 60 and 44. Thanks in advance for your help Pat

Anyone have any info on this lady between 1870 and 1940? She is one of my ggfather's sisters. Got her name from an obit. Her maiden name was Robinson. Thanks in advance for your help. Steve Robinson

Does Hawkins County have birth and death indexes? If so how would I find records. Thanks Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: <TNROOTS-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: <TNROOTS-D@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2002 12:02 AM Subject: TNROOTS-D Digest V02 #172

Hi, I am searching for my great-grandfather, WILLIAM HOUSTON JONES. His mother was MARGARET JONES and his father was an unknown HOWARD. They were not married. He was raised by his grandparents, WILLIAM JONES and MARTHA 'PATSY" JONES. He was born on April 15, 1873 at Morgan County, Tennessee and died January 7, 1940. He was married to NANCY ANN HOWARD. Ring a bell? Also, you might want to explore my cousin's website: http://johnsrealmonline.com/genealogy/main.html He is very young, in college and has a great website. He includes a lot of sources, and cemetery photos. There are a ton of Tennessee Howards on there. He started doing genealogy in high school. Before computers.

I am going to give a little plug to my cousin, John Brown's website. I met him online through GEN-NEWBIE. He started his genealogy project in high school without a computer. They traveled the State of Tennessee taking pictures in cemeteries, gathering information, etc. His site really took shape last year. He sites a lot of sources. The main state is Tennessee, however there are others. http://johnsrealmonline.com/genealogy/main.html

I would like to "THANK YOU" for everyone helping me trying to find information on my family ancestry. Even though I took some time off in doing more research I am sure that everyone has done the same. I got some good information and documents so far but of course I would like more. After the holiday weekend, I am SERIOUSLY getting back to the research and hope that everyone else does too. (My surnames that I am looking into are: LANCTO, LANCTOT, BISAILLON, CARDINAL, FREEMAN, COOPER, JONES, DANIELS, TATRO, SNYDER, & SOME MORE.. if you see any connection just let me know..) HAVE A SAFE HOLIDAY WEEKEND !!!!

>From "My Trees Newsletter": Ask Us - What do you mean Junior and Senior doesn't mean a father and son relationship and a Cousin wasn't a relative at all? During the 1700s the terms Junior and Senior were often conveniences used by colonial families who lived in rural communities. These terms were used merely to distinguish between two person who lived in the same locality, had the same name, and were of different generations. Sometimes the men were related sometimes not. It was quite common in the Southern United States. These designations were usually not permanent either.

Whether your ancestors wore blue or gray in the American Civil War, the East Tennessee Historical Society is offering a free workshop to help find your family’s Civil War story. The free class will be held 2 to 4 p.m. (Central Time) on Saturday, August 24, 2002, in the Cherry Theatre on the campus of Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tennessee. The instructor, Dr. George K. Schweitzer, is a popular, nationally known lecturer and author of nineteen genealogy research books. Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans. Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s home state. Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story. The workshop is co-sponsored locally by Maury County Archives. For additional information about the free workshop contact the Maury County Archives at 931-381-1565 or visit the ETHS web site at http://www.east-tennessee-history.org. East Tennessee Historical Society PO Box 1629, 600 Market St. Knoxville, Tennessee 37901-1629 http://www.east-tennessee-history.org

I am trying to find info on my great grandfather, WALTER A. COOPER. I know that he was born in Jackson, Tennessee. However, cannot find a date of birth/death. He was living in Springfield, Mass, at the time of my grandmother's birth on Oct. 11, 1911. (Myrtle Elisa Cooper). He was married to ANNA LOUISE JONES. Other children (that I know of was Beatrice and Esther). He worked as a Painter. Are there any TN-Coopers that can help?

Would it be possible to put a space between each address so they are easier for usoldsters to read. Think it would be appreciated by many. Thanks, Juanita Morley
