I've got an idea for a Christmas present for my Dad but it depends on how many people I hear from. His mother ( my grandmother of course ) taught school at W.T Thomas back in the 40's through the late 60's. I'd like to compile a book of memories and stories about her from her former students. I don't know if anyone on this list actually attended W.T. Thomas or had relatives who did, but if you did and have anything you could give me I would greatly appreciate it. My grandmothers name was ELVA ATKINS. To avoid hopefully what will be great overload to the list please send the emails to me personally. Thanks everyone! Karen

Hello, the original certificate does not list a spouses name. She is listed as widowed and the informant is listed as Ophilia Wyatt. Hope this helps. If you would like me to scan and email the original certificate just let me know, I will be glad to do so.

Sorry, Suzanne, but the detailed boundary definitions went away with a damaged hard-drive (Thanks, Bill Gates!) Chuck

I remembered seeing something about this when researching one of my MILES line under Wills: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnstewar/will/WillBookK.htm 206 is the scholastic population for that term. No. 379 is the District divisions not sure where they were for previous years but perhaps this will help you.

Does anyone know where to find enumeration information for the Census? Enumeration information is the sections of any given area, such as Stewart County. Dist 1, 2, Panther Creek etc. where the census taker was taking the census. I wrote to Ntl Archieves and got nowhere. Basically I want to know what area of Stewart County Dist. 11 covered or Panther Creek Dist etc. Ntl Archieves does not seem to have this information or was clueless as to what I was asking for as their response made no sense. This seems like a relatively simple issue. If you can help me, I would love to hear from you.

My greatgrandmother, Elizabeth Sarah Bryant born May 1869 married a Stephen Keel, but the only one that showed up on the census was born in 1847. That's a big age dfference! Now I've been told there's another younger Stephen Keel. She received a divorce but the papers didn't mention age. If anyone knows of another Stephen please let me know. I need hard knox proof! Thanks Doris

This is my Brown family who was also in Sumner County and Walter's daughter, Clarissa or Catherine Brown married John F.W. Myers. Their son, Joseph William Myers moved to Franklin KY and then to Stewart County, TN.

[email protected] wrote: I am researching the Joel BROWN family and am interested in a daughter named Peggy who may be the Margarette BROWN who married William PAYNE abt 1821. This is what I know. Joel BROWN b. between 1730-1740 (based on 1830 census) in NC; d. abt 1835; wife has been listed as Mary SEAY b. 1750-1760 in NC; d between 1830-1840 They started out in NC. They married about 1776 and lived in Bertie NC. All children appear to be born in NC and are spread between the years 1777 and 1801. There were a total of 5 sons 3 of whom may have stayed in NC. They may have moved westward to Randolph co, NC, before arriving in TN after 1801. Joel BROWN wrote a will (Will Book 1788-1842 Sumner Co., TN) dated 4 March 1834 and proved 1835-6. The synopsis lists eldest son John Brown. Second son Stephen Brown. Daughter Polly Acrey. Son John Brown. Daughter Peggy Payne. Daughter Raney Laseter. Appoints Jesse Laseter and John Brown executors. The daughter Polly (Mary) was born between 1774-1790 and it has been listed as b. 1777. She may be the wife of John ACREE also of Bertie NC. They moved to TN and lived in Stewart Co. "Raney" is Lourana b. 1796 and she married Jesse LASSITER in 1826. She lived until 10 July 1870 according to one website, although she was listed on the census just 2 days before that in Stewart Co. I cannot nail down which John BROWN may have been the son. Nor can I find a Stephen BROWN living in TN at the time of Joel's death. I am trying to place Margarette BROWN in this family, possibly as the daughter "Peggy" who was born between 1794 and 1804. My Margarette BROWN was born about 1801 in NC and she married William PAYNE abt 1821 in Davidson Co, TN. According to the Christian Advocate she died in 1853 at the age of 52. She named her PAYNE children Robert, Greenwood, William, Mary Malvina, Martha Margaret, and Priscilla and one female died as a child. They lived in Davidson County in 1830 and 1840 census and are in Sumner County (with half the farm in Robertson Co ) in the 1850 census. I welcome your checking your database for any of these names and appreciate any help you listers can give me. Thanks a bunch.
