I beleive most of Trousdale cemeteries are in the books. I do not see a John P. Harris but there is a John L. Harris b. 02 Jul 1866 - 17 Oct 1902. I don't believe the Archives in Gallatin has these books.

Helen, Enjoy that Watkins vanilla!! Did someone mention the fact that we had no air conditioning in "the good old days?" I remember that all too well - sleeping upstairs in the summertime was next to impossible it was so hot. The coolest place one could find was to lie flat on the wooden floors in the house. Who can forget the cold winters! We would stand in front of the fireplace - or grate - bake on one side and freeze on the other. And the younger generation think they have it rough if they have to take out the trash! Keep those memories alive! Betty

They had running water for a sink I believe but no water heater or indoor bathroom. I'm told one time my mother gave me a bath in a tub that had been heated on the "old stove" and didn't think about how hot the bottom of the tub might be. The water was fine but I got a few red semicircles on my tush. Don't worry, she immediately pulled me out when I hollered. I have no recollection so it must not have been too bad. As I got older I had to use the outhouse which was past the coal bin where a "good snake" lived. I used to hold my natural urges for as long as I could. The worst times were at night. Dad would try to get me to use the slop jar but I just couldn't. I didn't want anyone seeing what I had manufactured overnight. Using the privy was almost as bad. Somehow I had dreamed up the notion that wanted criminals were known to hide under the privy. I just knew when I sat down, someone was going to grab me and pull me in. I don't have to mention the spiders. I think that says it all. My good memories are the food that literally filled up the round table covered in a red-checkered tablecloth. We ate out on the screened in "porch" that doubled as one of my great-aunt's bedroom. After lunch, my brother and I would climb a green apple tree out back, saltshakers in hand and eat away. The only other fun things to do were jump on an old set of bedsprings, play on a flying ginny or walk down to the lake to see if Dad and "Big Dog" (my grandfather) had caught any crappie. The old place is gone now due to strip mining. I remember those times so well, especially when I smell coal burning or see an outhouse or drink out of my own sink now and wish it tasted half as good as my great-grandmother's well water.

Betty, You know I always thought that Watkins products were a "Nashville invention", and I was obviously wrong. A friend/cousin is getting a bottle of Watkins Vanilla for me, and I plan to sit and sniff and remember.

I have seen the term "free male" used when describing indentured servants. Since they are not owned; but, instead have contracted their labor for a specific period of time they are still "free" (unlike a slave who is owned).

Are there any Moss researchers on this list? There were several Moss families in Sumner County during the 1800s, and I'm hoping someone can help me identify Elizabeth Moss. In the James Gordon household on the 1850 Jackson County census is listed a woman named Elizabeth Moss, age 100. This Gordon family later moved to Davidson Co. and then to Robertson Co. A son, John A. Gordon married M. J. Williams in Sumner Co. on 19 June 1858, and a daughter, Malissa Adaline married Mills Taylor Bloodworth and moved to Sumner County in the 1880s. Any helpful hint would be most appreciated. Joyce

I am fairly new to Sumner County research and believe I have located one of my ancestors on the transciption of the data decribed below. I am hoping someone can clarity the nature of this data. I am curious whether this is describing a military company or simply a group of individuals living in close proximity. I am afraid I am not familiar with the terminology.
