Marla, You need to talk to Thomas G. Webb. In his new book, "The Webb Families of Dekalb County, Tennessee and 23 Related Families" (which is already sold out), he mentions Elisha Webb several times in the Book. The only way to reach him is by mail. His address is: Thomas G. Webb 835 College St. Smithville, Tn. 37166 Athol Athol K. Foster DeKalb Co.

I am researching the Winnett Family and need a complete listing of the Center Town Cemetery and any other cemetery in the county that is available.Does any one know who I should contact to purchas a CD or paper bound listing. I have just gotten started on the Peden family name. Margaret Marie Peden is all I have at this time. Thanks Sue

Bonnie, Will you please see if there is a will for H.S.Ferguson, or Hubbard S.Ferguson the spelling of Ferguson, may be diff. Fergerson,Fuegerson etc. He is in the settlement book in Dekalb Co.Tn, date 1854, but all it says is the wifes allotment. Thank you. C.J. Williams

These are country-wide alphabetical abstracts of the files..a goldmine of info if your ancestor is listed. They also show the widows and heirs applications for the pension where the soldier was deceased, if memory serves. And, if I undertand the question properly, chain-carrier wasn't so much a profession, as an interested person taking part in the surveying process of the land, someone close to the land-owner. Am I correct on this, Fred? Bonnie

Thank you Ladye! I know this is a big responsibility and we are so happy that you are giving us your time and energy. Also glad that Fred is keeping active in the group! Bless you both! To Kathleen...about the chain carriers...I, too, have Warren Co. ancestors who were in that work. My were the Dunnegan's. They came to TN from Surry, NC. I believe they were connected to the Armstrongs who are known for early land surveys in TN. Martin Armstrong signed my ancestor, Absalom Dunnegan, marriage bond. The ink was so faded that we could not make out the name of the bride! I am sure I will never know that link! If you learn anything about the chain carriers, please let me know. I know Absalom's sons, John and William, are on record as chain bearers.

When were the earliest land purchases in Warren County, and are these records available? I am seeking any JOHNSON man getting land in Warren Co. prior to @1820. What are my options on this one?

After searching for many of my relatives in IL, IN, TN, and KY, who didnt show up in the Social Security Index, because the received a RR pension, not SS benefits, I came across the US Railroad Retirement Board. They were very helpful in sending requested genealogical information, for a fee of course. I just thought I would share their Genealogy Research page with everyone. http://www.rrb.gov/geneal.html ~Susan Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri

I am trying to find information on my grandfarther, Mose Elija Arledge and wife Mallissie Jane Aikins Arledge. If anyone has ANY information on them or any other Arledge's, please share. Sandra ARLEDGE Turner

Hi, Does anyone have any records from the Liberty Cumberland Presbyterian Church? Are there any Cemetery records from this church? A Rev. John Fancher died in May 1889. He was a Minister before his death, and I am not sure how long, in the above mentioned church. Supposedly he is buried in Warren Co. He also had 10 Children and his wife was Ann Lewis whom he married in IL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mary
