Hi, am looking for the address(s) of a BROWNSVILLE, TN nursing home, where an aunt (by marriage) was when she died. Don't know how many there may be and have absolutely NO idea what the name was. Her name was MATTIE LEE (nee Redden) GILL and she died of Alzheimhers, 15 Jan 1997. She was born in Rutherford, Gibson Cty., 16 Feb 1911. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance....Joan Mendelson aka pattimm@mindspring.com

Looking for some info on the death of an uncle (by marriage) who was supposedly shot and died in the Memphis area, back in 1974 (?). His name was JAMES FRANKLIN REDDEN (nickname/CUBBY). Born 22 Sep 1928 in Gibson Cty., town of Rutherford and died 08 Aug 1974, after being shot in some kind of altercation with two (?) others. They all jumped in a car/cab and somewhere in Memphis, he was dumped on the street and left to die. He was found and taken to a hospital (?) where he eventually did die. Anything on him would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you all in advance for any and all info.....................Joan Mendelson aka pattimm@mindspring.com

I found someone I would like information on in Shelby county Tenn. In the 1850 census on page 52 is a William Lowder. Could someone e-mail me the infromation on his age and children and their names and ages and his wife listed. Thank you very much C. Lowder junkmail@quiknet.com

Is the 1930 census data available online? I had some relatives living in Memphis at the time whom I would like to get some info on. Thanks, Dennis Singelton

I may have posted this before but here it is again; Maybe someone can tell me if there are any indexes which would tell of the murder by one James (Knox Polk) LOVE sometime around 1890 or 1900. He is said to have killed a man in Memphis but came off "innocent". Any suggestions appreciated. Sue in Al.

Wishing someone could tell me who may have sent in the names of my grandfather`s sister, Alice D. (Delight)? LOVE and her husband, James E. Cummins to the Ancestral file in SLC. Also, their dau. Lula B. CUMMINS born Oct. 1881 in Shelby Co. Tenn. I think the mdg. took place, though, in Fayette Co Tenn. I hve much info. I will be happy to share on the Bell/ Love families. I think it is someone working on the Cummins family since they did not know alice`s maiden name (LOVE) Thanks Sue in Al.

I want to thank everyone who gave suggestions to finding an obituary for my daughter-in-laws grandmother. Madge
