If I could add to this discussion, take a look at the 1865 maps on the Stewart Co. web site. On the main page, it's in the History section under the link '1865 Maps of Stewart County.' These are maps made by the Union army, and donated to the web site by Randy Rubel of Clarksville. If you look at the map for the northwestern part of the county, you'll see that Randy has apparently hand-written "Bass's" next to the word Ferry on the original map, and has highlighted it. Next to the word Ferry you can see that "N. Bass" was the landowner next to the Ferry. http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnstewar/1865LBL.jpg Hope this helps, Jim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Leslie Moore Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TNSTEWAR] Betty Clay Betty, do you have anything on any of the BASS line.

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.

Do you still have the call number and information about how I could order one?

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