Diane and all, Shipping is $4.50 for the cemetery book and there is no sales tax for out-of-state orders. The address is: McDowell Publications 11129 Pleasant Ridge Road Utica, KY 42376 Joyce
Hi Diane, Thanks for the message. I had trouble calling the number you listed, but I searched and found them on the internet; another phone number is: 1-270-275-4075 Central Time. Their e-mail is: email: sammcpub@aol.com The shipping charge is $4.50, and they don't take bank cards. I didn't ask about KY state tax since I don't live in KY. When I told him I would send him a check, he told me to wait until I got the bill, and that they would ship the book on Monday. He indicated that this is an introductory price and that it will go up later. Thanks again. Sharon Clark Fort Worth, TX clarksha@swbell.net
Hi, I apologize for breaking my own guideline of not posting items for sale on the Sumner Co. list. However, since so many of you have shown an interest in obtaining the Sumner Co. TN Cemetery book, I decided to pass this on. E-mail from Shirley Wilson at the Sumner Co. Archives "This book has been reprinted and is now available for $45 through McDowell Publications at 1-800-285-4075 - don't know shipping or KY tax." Diane Payne Sumner Co.

Thanks for the information about Sumner county and the year 1775. Does anyone know where district 18 was in Sumner County in the year 1850? And where is District 15 in 1880? I am trying to pin point about where the Biggs`s lived.

>I know Sumner County was formed in 1786 from Davidson County, and that< >Tennessee was a part of North Carolina, so what county was Sumner in in 1775, < >if it was part of North Carolina? < In 1775 the colony of North Carolina claimed territory from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River but had established no presence anywhere near what would become Sumner County. The area that became Sumner County was, in 1775, a hunting ground belonging to the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, and Shawnee. Some few longhunters passed through on hunting and exploring expeditions, but even in 1777 when Washington County was established, it is misleading to think that the future Sumner County was within organized government boundaries. It wasn't until December 1779 that the first permanent European settlers arrived at the Bluffs of the Cumberland, and transacting legal business necessitated a long journey east to Washington Co., NC. Families continued to risk crossing 150 to 200 miles of hostile territory to reach the settlement, so in 1783 Davidson County was formed with the seat at Nashville. Growth (that continues to this day) soon made it necessary to form more counties, and in 1787 Sumner was formed from the eastern half of Davidson, and in 1788 Tennessee County was formed from the north and west areas of Davidson. In 1796 Tennessee County gave its name to the newly admitted state and took the name Robertson. Montgomery County was organized on Robertson's west. This brief message is not intended as a history lesson but as a time line to emphasize the isolation of the settlers. The next time you drive to the archives to research your ancestors, think about the arduous journey your ancestors made to record that document. Joyce
I apologize for having to post this to the entire list, but apparently the e-mail address: franksfamily@lds.net given on the Sumner TNGenWeb page for Linda Franks is no longer valid. I would like to contact her regarding her postings on the MITCHELL family. I hope Linda, or someone else who can help me, will see this message. Thanks, Robyn Collins
