This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DiB.2ACI/213 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Eliza Helton and Marcene/Marceen H. Clinton, married 5/17/1884 in Sevier County. I have not been able to find them in 1900 and have no records of children, death, etc. Marceen was born abt. 1866. His parents are William and Sarah (Sallie) Clinton. Any information would be appreciated.

I'm always hoping to connect with the WALKER line that married into my HUSKEY MYERS lines of Sevier County, TN mid 1800 to late 1800's. Great mystery here. Family lore says our WALKER was a WALKINGSTICK, but shortened the name, but I dunno. My great grandmother was Hettie Caroline HUSKEY m. Andrew "Little Andy" MYERS - owned a farm that later became Lil Ponderosa Campground in Sevier She had a sister named Ticy m. John TROTTER Mother's name was Elizabeth but went by Betty HUSKEY Elizabeth had a sister named Martha I have a marriage license from Sevier stated Martha married a John WALKER but I'm certain Ticy and Hettie's mother Elizabeth was at least consorting, if not married to a John WALKER as I've spoken with kin in Sevier Co., TN and they have confirmed that Hettie was very close to her half brother Harve WALKER Senior. Martha and Elizabeth Betty HUSKEY'S parents were Lewis HUSKEY & Hulda T. HATCHER. I'm only to speculate that Hulda's middle name was Ticy. Above Little Andy's father was Pleasant MYERS and Sara Jane MCCLURE Pleas, son of James "Napoleon" MYERS/MYRES & Margarett Caroline LINDSEY Does anything above ring a bell with anyone out here...

Do you have a child interested in family history? Would you like to encourage a child in your family to explore his or her heritage? You can help nurture the budding family historian in your family at this year's East Tennessee Historical Society History Camp. The camp will be held July 8-11, 2002, at the East Tennessee History Center in downtown Knoxville. At the camp, kids will enjoy learning methods to research their family tree, such as talking to older relatives, using original records, visiting cemeteries and libraries, and touring history museums. Each child participant is invited to bring along an adult family member to help them “dig their roots.” The ETHS Family Tree Camp provides families with an activity they can do together not just during the camp, but for years to come. Part of the fun of genealogy is the interaction between generations as young people interview older relatives and hear the stories and events that have become part of a family’s history. Help us plant the seeds of historic interest in tomorrow's generation. For more information about this year's camp and how you and a child in your family can participate together, visit the ETHS web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org Sincerely, Shane Rhyne East Tennessee Historical Society www.east-tennessee-history.org

This is from Linda Bee on my Candyman List. Probably the only thing you will get FREE from Martha Stewart! Family Trees A family tree can be a beautiful work of art as well as an informative genealogical record. This fan chart and our <A HREF="http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml;jsessionid=JISO3F55FQCFRWCKUUXCHPW YJKSS0JO0?&type=content&id=channel172118&page=1">hand-lettered tree</A> are simple projects that yield striking results. Both plot ascendant lineage, meaning that they begin by charting the present generation at the bottom and expand upward as they go back in time. Genealogy Fan Chart A traditional way to display genealogy, a fan chart begins with you and chronicles your ancestral lineage on both sides of the family. Print out our <A HREF="http://www.marthastewart.com/images/pdf/family_tree.pdf;jsessionid=JISO3F5 5FQCFRWCKUUXCHPWYJKSS0JO0">template</A>, and enlarge it to the desired size on a photocopier. You can also have it reproduced on high-quality paper at an office-supply store, or use Martha by Mail's <A HREF="http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml;jsessionid=JISO3F55FQCFRWCKUUXCHPW YJKSS0JO0?&type=product&id=product1434">Genealogy Fan Chart</A>, which is printed on acid-free, poster-size paper and is suitable for framing. Start by writing your name in the circle labeled "First Generation" at the bottom of the chart. When writing the names on the chart, first enter them lightly with a pencil, then trace over them in pen; gently erase any stray pencil marks. The half-circle shape above your name is for your parents' names. Write your father's name on the left of the dotted line, and your mother's on the right, then fill in the date of their marriage on the dotted line. Your lineage on your father's side will branch out to the left, your mother's to the right. Fill in the names of their respective parents, and work back through the generations until you can go no further. You'll probably have some empty spaces because at some point you may have difficulty gathering the names of certain ancestors; these gaps of information are a part of every family's history.<A HREF="http://www.marthastewart.com/images/pdf/family_tree.pdf;jsessionid=JISO3F5 5FQCFRWCKUUXCHPWYJKSS0JO0">Fan Chart Template</A> We offer this file in a portable document format, or PDF, to make the details clear and printable.
