Does anyone know where Robert Overall (1785-1862) is buried? Is his grave marked? Thanks

Teresa: Thanks for the response. And I will get in touch with Jo Ann. I have put together a good bit on the Lannoms, since I posted. I had figured out that Thomas was the son of Nathan. They sure loved the name Thomas, didn't they? Hardy Jerome was my step-grandfather, but the only grandfather I ever knew. I am trying to put this together for my aunt, who is the daughter of Hardy. When I start working on a line, I like to find everything I can on all of the branches. I saw your postings in the Rutherford County List Archives. Thanks again. Mary

I don't have anything on the children of John Thomas and Sallie Barker. And you know who his parents are. How can I help you? I am also going to send you the address of another lady who is researching Nathan Lannom. You guys might be able to help each other. jolannom@juno.com Thomas Lannom was the son of Nathan Lannom and Elizabeth Thorne, and she is researching them, so she might be able to help you more. This isn't my line of Lannoms. I am like your sixth cousins though. There is a Lannom family history that was done in the nineteen twenties that is still at the Lebanon, TN library that might help you. It is in their family files. If you call, the librarian will tell you it doesn't exist, but it is there. I am going to send your email to Jo Ann as well, since I think you guys may be very closely related. At least you are working on the same branch of the family. It's so good to see other Lannom researchers out there since I thought I was the only one. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Summer is my crazy time, with 3 kids, and VBS and my husband was home all summer. AH, fall, it's the most wonderful time of the year. :) Teresa Ghee Elliott TNRUTHER-L@rootsweb.com List Owner

Donnells Chapel is right as you leave Rutherford County and cross over into Cannon County on Bradyville Pk. That is where my own grandmother was born and her Mother.There are still some McCaslins in that area I am not sure about Donnells, even though there has been in years past.

Hi Rodney, Sorry, just back from vacation and getting organized. I have the 1830 census for James Vaughan and household. After that, I have 1870 for David Ashley Vaughan (brother to Robert Jordan) and America Clementine who are my ancestors.

The razor grinder was like a knife grinder or sharpener - he would grind down the blade of worn razors on a stone, a necessary service of the time. The reason he, tinkers and certain other itinerant workers were not allowed to stay in the tavern was not because of what they did, but the fact that they were often Gypsies, a feared and hated minority about whom many rumors existed. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

As to why all those men were living in one household, it was probably some sort of boarding or bunk house. I have seen this situation fairly often in censuses. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

I believe the great Potato famine in Ireland was around (or shortly before) 1850. This could explain a lot of Irish emigration. Why they were clustered together in one area like that is odd - perhaps they had been recruited and brought there for a major project of some sort like laying railroad tracks,working in a local mine, harvest time, etc? I was struck by the fact that there was a James Hope in the Irish group. My Scots-Irish Hopes had been in America since the early 1700s - at least - and one of them was married in Rutherford Co. in 1832, but I can't imagine that he had any contact with relatives in Ireland after all that time (over a 100 years). Interesting... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com/

My gr grandmother ran a railroad boarding house in the 1900-1915 era...When I check the census in that time I get 4 or 5 unrelated men in the household....Railroad or construction boarding houses were very common in this time... I do not know for a fact what they were doing, but that is the time period when the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad was built.

Joyce - I think it may have been a boarding house. We have a reproduction parchment of "Rules of this Tavern", which states: * 4 pence a night for bed * 6 pence with potluck * 2 pence for housekeeping * No more than five to sleep in one bed * No boots to be worn in bed * No razor grinders or tinkers taken in * No doges allowed in the kitchen *Organ grinders to sleep in the wash house - Lemuel Cox's Inn No date is on the parchment. What is a razor grinder? Tinkers were salesmen, I think. Weren't organ grinders the guys with the little monkeys who danced? We have a daughter in the Bastrop/Smithville area. I think that is part of the Texas hill country also. It is indeed lovely out there.

Joyce, the year 1850 was a big time period for Irish workers moving across America. According to some sources, as many as 20,000 Irish immigrants moved from Brooklyn, NY to New Orleans about this same time. The area became known as the "Irish Bayou" section, and the funny New York type accent still found in New Orleans comes from this same migration. It is no problem to believe many of the same type also came to wherever there was work of land available. Ron Hughes
