Hi Dana, Yes this is a very active list. It is extremely active sometimes to the point of being overwhelming. Seems to be a combination of a couple of differnet things right now. First is as Jan has said, there seems to be a temporary lul right now. Second is that rootsweb may be having some kind of problem (either that or my ISP was) because I received virtually no messages from any of the rootsweb lists that I am on and several of them are pretty active. Glad to see a fellow researcher with common surnames pop up on this list too. What are the Stewart Co. surnames you are researching? Sending this both to the list and to you so we have two chances of you getting it.

Melissa, I didn't realize that your ancestors were from the same area as the Parchmans and Outlaws. They owned land in exactly the areas you mention (corners of Stewart, Montgomery, and Houston). The original Parchman farm was separated from Stewart into Houston County in 1870. Some of the Outlaws (not my family, but one I've researched for a friend) also had farms in the Palmyra area of Montgomery County. I've looked online for years for early maps of the area but found none. I am convinced that the Parchman farm was in the southeast corner tail of Robertson County before Montgomemry and Robertson were split up to form Stewart and Dickson Counties. On that internet set showingn Tennessee county formations by year, the corner of Robertson exactly overlaps with the area that became Stewart and then Houston Counties. That may explain why John Parchman/Parchment was found on grand juries in ROBERTSON County between 1796 and 1803, when he then sits on Stewart County grand juries. He was even awarded travel money for one trial that exactly matches the distance from his farm to Springfield. There are no maps showing the boundaries of early Robertson County, but I'd like to find the legislative act laying out the boundaries for Montgomery and Robertson Counties. The one I've seen posted forr Robertson is confusing and doesn't match the linens shown on the Tennessee county formation maps. Gerrry Parchman

Transcribing the originals is a very time-consuming task - but thankfully, Stewart County's records are almost entirely intact (except for those early marriages, and a few minor gaps in the will books), so we can all dream of a day when all the records are online for all to access easily. Folks like Melissa provide a great service to those who can't run to the courthouse and see those originals. For the wills/settlements/bonds abstracts I've contributed to the site, I've done my best to extract all of the genealogical information from them, but I didn't extract every name from every record - for example, estate sales might have pages and pages of buyers listed, and I extracted just a sampling of them. My hope is that those abstracts can give someone all of the genealogical information available from the records, plus the book-and-page reference for those wanting to then get a copy of specific originals. For the deed abstracts on the site, I did not extract the mundane land descriptions (called 'metes and bounds'). I will tell you, however, that those metes-and-bounds descriptions can be very helpful in proving family relationships in the absence of other proof. Those metes-and-bounds descriptions let you plat a piece of land, which you can then think of as a puzzle piece to be fitted together with adjacent puzzle pieces of land, showing the history of an area of land. Landowners often referred to their neighbors in those deeds, and sometimes divulged genealogical information about those neighbors. In one case, I used an old land description, in conjunction with a modern topographical map, to figure out exactly where an ancestor lived, then went to that piece of land and discovered a long-lost family cemetery. Another powerful use of land records is to prove a marriage. The deed records for Stewart County are 100% intact, all the way back into the 1780's - if your male ancestor owned a piece of land, and you cannot find a deed record showing how he got the land, then there's a high likelihood that he got it by inheritance from his own family, or by gift from his wife's family. Figuring out who owned that land before your ancestor can often 'prove' what family your ancestor married into. Land records can be very powerful sources of information, but it takes a lot of digging (no pun intended!).

Melissa, Here is a suggestion on the location of Rough and Ready, whose location was apparently known to the USGS when they made the topo maps: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=36.4700&lon=-87.6528&s=50&size=l Looks like it's on Lee Creek, maybe 1.5 miles from the Mont. Co., between Indian Mound and Throckmorton. The following link to the same site shows where the Rough and Ready Landing was located (now under water): http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=36.4442&lon=-87.7069&s=50&size=l Locations of many Stewart Co. historical sites can be found on sites like Wayhoo.com: http://www.wayhoo.com/index/a/b/state/TN/county/Stewart/ Happy hunting!
