There was a Sally Darnell married in 1830 to John Chapman. Bondsman was Washington Darnell. Can anyone identify either one? My gggfather, William Washington Darnell, came from "near Nashville" but don't know exactly where. Since the Washington name is sometimes passed down, perhaps the two could be related. Possibly, my Wm Washington's father was Henry. Thanks.

Hello, everyone - I am looking for information on Henry DINKINS b. 1830 - I believe that he might have come from Sumner Co. TN and moved into Allen Co. KY around 1850. He might have been the son of John DINKINS. Thanks in advance for any help! Anita HILL Tally Missouri

So far, I only have the Lain information that I gathered from the LDS website, but have found one of Lee Thomas Lain's greatgrandchildren - my dad's cousin - and will be sharing information with her. Also, the Dallas County Pioneer Association has published at least one book that discusses the Lains in Dallas County, Lee and his son Samuel at least; I will be ordering the book and plan to visit Dallas soon to look at their records. I'll send info as I develop it. Will send data from my brother and me in the next day or so. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] Thanks again, Janet Hamilton

I have seen people make a provision in a will, that if you contest the will you only get a dollar, instead of your inheritance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Many times a person had already given land, money, etc. to his/her older children as they grew up and, therefore, only named the younger children in the will. Mildred "Mickey" Fournier 1730 SE CR 252 Lake City, FL 32025 [email protected]

Please, please all of you who answered my dollar question....would you please post your answers to the List itself. For some reason, the answers did not appear on the list and many, many others are writing me for the answers. I am so sorry, but I cannot keep up with all the requests or forwards, so would everyone please post to the LIST so that everyone can read the answers. I am sorry, I am just not physically able to handle all of these requests and although there is probably a simple way to send all the answers to everyone, I am not a computer whiz....so please help me out and Post the Dollar answers to the List. Thanks so much, Sandra

I have also read that it was a way for the person making the will to leave out children without giving them the argument that when the will was made the maker of the will was sick and feeble in mind and did not intend to omit them. Sounds reasonable to me. Also I believe that some states had laws about disinheriting children. Could be wrong on that one.

Thanks for all the responses that are coming in about my question concerning the dollar. They all help in figuring the mindset. I knew I could count on all of you. Sandra

I thought someone out there would know the basis behind the following: The wills of my ancestors frequently leave a "dollar" to various relatives or friends. While I understand the value of a dollar was a lot more back then, if I were a child and my father left me a dollar and left my sibling a horse, I would feel a little unloved. So if someone could tell me the reasoning behind the "dollar"...was it a token of love or an insult or was that determined by the receiver? Thanks, Sandra

Can anyone that has researched Sumner County tell me if you have a Eadley (or some other similar sounding name) Campbell who lived in Robertson County during the early 1800's? His wife's name was Jane, with many kids, two of which were Sydney Thomas Campbell, and Peyton Bailie Campbell (leading me to believe they are related to the Sumner County Campbells). I would appreciate any help! Thanks! :) Shantell Ford
