Thanks Jim!!!! I see the KNIGHT and VINCENT land above it!! They are married into the family too. Is the Great Western Furnace the one that has a portion still standing?

Jim, Is there more of that map of Stewart County that shows the southern and eastern part of the county? Gerry

That map is probably the one from which mine was taken. I copied mine from an old issue of The River Counties periodical. It extends a bit further north than the one you mentioned, and is less cluttered with elevation markings and such, but I think it is easier to read.. But it was made about that time, and I think both were taken from the same original that you can find at the National Archives. I also have that original - a big thing that extends far to the east of the area I needed. Some years back, we were discussing this map here, and one of our members (was it Lonnie Jones?) looked up the call number for it at the National Archives, and quite a few of us ordered them.

I'm sorry, but I have nothing on the BASS family, nor the LOCKE family. I'm related to the Barrows, the Jacob Williams', the Downs family, I believe, but cannot prove, the SILLS family, and a few others. OUTLAND, for instance. and if you go far enough back, the FUTRELLs. Not often the people most mentioned on this list, I fear. Betty At 03:57 PM 12/31/2007, you wrote: >Betty, do you have anything on any of the BASS line.

Betty, In reading some very old posts of yours I found one that said you had a LBL Civil War map that listed Elemuel S. Hicks on it. Do you still have a way to email that to me and would you? I descend from his twin sister Elizabeth S. Hicks who married Jesse Garland and would love to have a copy. Thank you. Suzan

I don't think we can send attachments to the mail list. If you'll write to me at the above address, and send it from your normal email program, I'll send you a copy of it. It has only 'E. Hicks' on it, and it's at the very top left corner of the map - which was meant to be just Stewart County, but Elemuel lived over the line on Block House Creek. Someone recently send me a photograph of a Elizabeth. Do you have it? I think they send one of Elizabeth and one of Jesse Garland as well. I have a very faded picture of Elemuel, too.

I don't think Stewart County has any marriage records prior to 1838. Even those in the 1838-1848 book have not been available for much of the past. I believe the story I read was that the book was found by someone when they were scouring attics and the like to fill the museum out at the fort, and it was among a box of books someone found in an attic. I'd love to find some of those earlier ones, too. Several of my mysteries could be solved with an earlier book of marriages.

Yes, the one by Laura Willis' copy is the one I have. None of them go back far enough for my family. William R. Snuggs and Sarah R.
