This is a start on finding a nickname and it's not so far away. I checked and the Kizzie is there! <A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/franklin/frannick.htm">Click here: Franklin Co., TN Sub7 - Nicknames</A> Martie Williams Cashion

Does anyone know of a web site where I might find the proper name for a woman called Kizzie? Thanks. Joyce

The obit for Mrs. Lola Palmer of White House is in today's Tennessean. http://tennessean.com/ And BTW, there is an index to obits dating back at least to the 1970s at: http://wendy.library.nashville.org:82/screens/opacmenu.html Joyce

If she was called Kizzie her name was most likely Keziah. One of my great great grandmother's had that name. Also below is a good name site. <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/">Behind the Name</a> Hope this helps Marie Beckman --- CBStark@aol.com wrote: > Does anyone know of a web site where I might find > the proper name for a woman > called Kizzie? > > Thanks. > > Joyce > ===== http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rmbeckman/index.html Genealogy Chat Friends--Mom's Library http://www.genealogychatfriends.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

When was the Wilks house torn down? and was it on the left of Hwy.76 right before you arrived at Hwy.31? Bib

Helen, the cave....is located on what was the Bryant Lassiter property...Several years ago Ennis Moore of Goodlettsville bought it. If you are familiar with Tinnin Road..the cave is on the right, right above the creek, right before you get to Baker Road. It is one of two big caves in that valley. The other one is on the Bowman property. before you get to this cave. I was raised where Whiteheads live across the road. This is a much higher cave than the haunted one......The front of the cave was sixty feet high...if it was an inch....We swung off that top on grape vines...If we had fallen it would have killed us,,,and if Mother had known it, we wouldn't have had to fallen....she'd have killed us. Yes, my Dear Gentle Mother...... Helen, Tinnin Road was named for the Tinnin family that lived up there. They were from the Goodlettsville area. I believe the first one was Giles Tinnin. Now they are connected to the Raymers and the Issac Waltons. I got some info on that because of the connection with my Lassiters...Bib.

I have a picture that is marked on the back 'Granny Lou STROTHER'. It came from my mother's g-grandmother's family. Martha COMPTON was married to Tyree P. DENNIS. They lived in the Cottontown area. In the 1880 Census, there is a Leurana (?) STROTHER (listed as mother, age 55) living with T.P., M.A. (wife), Mattie, Mary E., Willie T.,(daughters), and T.H. DENNIS, (brother). (Tyree was superintendent of the Poorhouse in the mid-1880's.) Does anyone by chance have Granny Lou in your records? Brenda BEASLEY BRANHAM

The city of White House may never have been settled if not for the tales of Cheek Tavern. Cheek Tavern was a good place to start a town what with a water supply, good hunting, and being right on a major road. People were too afraid to live near the Tavern so they started building their homes further south. Excerpt from http://cityofwhitehouse.com Although White House has formally been recognized as a city for fewer than thirty years, this town has a rich, 200-year history. The first recorded explorations of the present-day community of White House were in the 1790's when hunters, trappers, and surveyors found a trail that had reportedly been made by buffalo seeking salt springs and Native Americans seeking hunting grounds. One such pioneer was Richard Wilks. In 1796, Wilks took advantage of a pre-emption law which offered 360 acres of land to those who would establish permanent settlements in Middle Tennessee. He constructed a large, white, two-story house on a portion of this land through which happened to run a part of the old buffalo and Indian trail. White was a particularly rare hue to appear on a house at the time, especially in the underdeveloped land between Louisville and Nashville. As development of the Middle Tennessee-Southern Kentucky area progressed and a definite travel route was established between the growing cities of Nashville and Louisville, Wilks' home, conveniently located adjacent to the travel route, was converted into an inn. Stagecoach travel became more frequent and drivers, most familiar with the house as a convenient stop for changing horses, began to tell travelers that they might find lodging at "The White House". Incorporated in 1971, White House, Tennessee, is a young city currently experiencing population growth, economic progress, and community development. The city is located north of Nashville within the greater Nashville region and has already benefited greatly from the suburban expansion of Nashville during the 1990's. As a landmark community positioned on the borders of both Robertson and Sumner Counties and close to Interstate 65 between Nashville and the Kentucky border, White House holds even greater potential for future growth and prosperity.Although White House has formally been recognized as a city for fewer than thirty years, this town has a rich, 200-year history.

Stagecoach travel became more frequent and drivers, most familiar with the house as a convenient stop for changing horses, began to tell travelers that they might find lodging at "The White House".The popularity of "The White House" grew and soon the name was applied to the small community surrounding this landmark. During the first half of the 1800's, there was a marked increase in travel along what had become known as the Louisville and Nashville (L&N) Pike. Many troops used the Pike during the Civil War.Describing the activity along the L&N Pike in White House in her book, White House/Calista Road Scrapbook: Stories and Legends, Aleen Cook writes: General Andrew Jackson, a famous Tennessean, used the Old Pike. In 1829, the news came to the Post Office on the Pike that General Jackson would pass that way on a certain day. The children of the neighborhood school were conducted by the teacher, Mr. Mimm, to the edge of the road to see the old hero.....When he saw the loyal little group, General Jackson stopped the carrage [sic] and rose with a bared head to thank them. He made a short speech, then continued on this way northward.1Cook goes on to note that tradition holds Jackson was actually on his way to Washington to be inaugurated when this incident occurred. Whether this is true or not, Jackson was a friend of Richard Wilks and is said to have stayed at the White House several times during his trips to and from Washington, D.C.Other famous residents of the White House were Jenny Lind, "The Swedish Nightingale," and her tour manager, P.T. Barnum. The two traveled the L&N Pike and spent a night at the White House during her American tour in the 1850's.The White House, which was sold by Richard Wilks in the late 1870's, eventually became Tom Covington's residence. Covington moved his family into the dwelling around the beginning of 1892, maintaining its function as a haven for weary travelers, whose numbers were steadily increasing. Under Covington's ownership, the White House underwent extensive renovation, including the addition of the two porches and a "drummer's room", a reflection of the changing tide of travelers. "Drummers" were traveling salesmen who would spend the night at the White House and then peddle their wares to the community.2 By this time, the L&N Railway was also well-established and White House saw new growth, both commercially and residentially, due to this progress.Although the monument for which the town was named was torn down in 1951 to make way for new development, this small community has maintained its identity as a calm haven for those in transit between cities. In 1986, the community undertook the construction of a replica of this Grand Old Building, which is now located on Highway 76 near the City Park. The "Inn" is now home to the Public Library, part of the Warioto Regional Library Service, and offers 12,000 volumes and a children's learning center. The second floor houses a museum of artifacts, depicting life in early White House. Exhibited are early tools, furniture, photographs, and historic documents. The Chamber of Commerce is also located there. Tom Covington, afore mentioned in the above history, was related to my husband's grandmother, Vera Covington Marlin. Earlier history mentions a William Griffin owning it for a short while but he was not a very good manager and sold it back to it's previous owner. Off the top of my head, I can't remember the owner's name. Seems to me someone after Wilk's owned it. Maybe someone can clarify this for me. My husband has heritage on the maternal Griffin side but I've never been able to prove it was the William Griffin who owned the White House Inn. William Griffin was very well known for working with, selling and owning horses. My father-in-law donated his time and bricked what is now the White House Library. Carla Marlin
