I don't live in Memphis but I do have a current telephone book, maybe I can help you. Bob Parker Sgtmajrp@aol.com >> Bob, I was sure I had a reference to Olive Branch Ms, but going through my records, I don't see it. The RICHERT that I am most closely related to was Mary Neely RICHERT. She was married to my grandfathers brother, Clayton William McCLURE. Mary was born sometime around 1895 to 1905 (this is a guess on my part because Clayton was born 1896). Mary was probably born in Memphis, because all her brothers and sisters were. Mary and Clayton were married March 20th 1930 in Hernando Ms. Most of my McClures were from Panola County Ms, so I'll have to find out if Olive Branch is close to Panola County. I have been told that Mary's family owned car dealerships in Memphis and that Mary was "disowned" for marrying Clayton (which I always knew as "Uncle Will"). I'm not sure what was meant by "Mary's family", but if it was her father, his name was Clyde Western RICHERT, and her mother was Fanny May CASEY. Mary and Uncle Will were married many years and both died in Inglewood, Los Angeles County California. I used to visit them as young girl in the 60's, and they were wonderful people. If any of these names sound familiar, I'd love to share. thanks, Lois Rodgers kenoticket@aol.com southern california

Sheri, The only thing I have run across so far is E.W.M. King as a solicitor in a Circuit Court case in 1844. You can see this newspaper abstract at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnnews/ Also, in May, 1847, he is a judge in the Circuit Court. This is not online yet. Good luck, Helen

I would appreciate anyone's help with my search for the daughter of my grandmother's older sister. Her name is Lottie JOHNSON (there could have been a married name too - JOHNSON was her maiden name ) and she is/was the daughter of Martha FRASIER Johnson of Memphis (Martha was born 1886 in Sallis , Attala Co MS ) and W. B. JOHNSON. She was living in Memphis in the 1980's . Can anyone suggest how I might locate her ? Thanks so much. Molly

There are three volumes, the third completed and published after the death of the last of the original compilers. Volume 3 contains Memphis cemeteries, newer surveys of some of the Arlington/Brunswick cemeteries, and clarifications/errata for the other volumes. ----- Original Message ----- From: <DABRIGMAN@aol.com> To: <TNSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2000 3:38 PM Subject: Cemeteries of Shelby County > Is anyone familiar with the books - Gravestone Inscriptions from Shelby Co.? > Are there only two volumes?

Is anyone familiar with this name in Shelby Tenn. ? Evidentley E.W. M.KING was a prominent lawyer in Shelby county for a number of years ...circa 1840 to 1880 . I have not been able to track down death records or marriage records. I have found HIS name in a book of land grants for Shelby. If anyone is a descendant or has knowledge of these southereners please e-mail me . thankyou sheri

It sure does. All of my lines were in the 11th and 12th civil districts. That's probably why I've never run across Cuba before. Thanks, Debbie dabrigman@aol.com

Cuba is in the northwestern part of Shelby Co. The Mississippi River is its western boundary. Tipton County is its northern boundary. It lies in Civil District 4 (& maybe parts of 2 & 3 also). Does this help? Helen

The Shelby County, TN. Cemetery listing is great. Do you know if the mailing addresses and phone numbers are on line. I know the TNGENWED has some cemeteries with lists of names of those interned. Do you know of other online sites in Shelby County that may have more of this information Bob Parker Sgtmajrp@aol.com

Has anyone ever heard of the "Manhattan Bank" or "Manhattan Savings Bank and Trust"? One of my ancestors (John W. Cochran) was one the original founders and was president until 1899. One of his grandsons (Frank T. Cochran) was the vice-president until 1942. Is this bank now defunct? Was it taken over by another bank? If it was taken over, by which bank? Does anyone know where it used to be? Who knows...if this bank is still in operation, or if it was taken over by another bank, they might have information on my ancestors! Thanks, Debbie dabrigman@aol.com

Is anyone familiar with the books - Gravestone Inscriptions from Shelby Co.? Are there only two volumes? Were all of the cemeteries in Shelby Co covered in those two books? I'm hoping not! Thanks, Debbie dabrigman@aol.com

Susan, thanks for the info regarding the GNIS. I certainly didn't know about it and I am sure that others appreciate the info as much as I do. Bobbie

Rhonda, I will volunteer for transcribing. Do you have anything right now? Helen

I just bought a book about the history of Cuba, TN. Lots of good info in it. If you have a family that lived in this area of the county, I will check the index for you. Helen

Does anyone out there know of a Mrs Margaret Hightower widow of Rev Ted Hightower. She had quite a bit of Firth family information. I lost track of her several years ago when she moved from KY back to Shelby Co. I would love to resume correspondence to further my Firth data. Thanks Barbara in FL ( in Memphis 1937-1961)
