To the List: Does anyone on the list have a handle on the Superior Court minute books of the Washington District? There are WPA transcriptions of four different "minute books" covering the year 1803 (and various years before and after). Each one is different. I'm trying to figure out why there are so many different record books, and what the differences between them are. I realize that the Equity cases were recorded separately, but that isn't the whole answer. If you have struggled with this and can help, I'd be grateful. Chuck Sherrill Charles A.

I don't think so, but won't swear on it. Sara lived with Reece BAYLESS in Washington Co. 1850 census, and married his grandson Robert Reece BAYLESS in 1861. Reece BAYLESS was grandson of John BAYLESS and Ann PRICE. I don't know if Sara was a ward of Reece or a relative of Reece's 2nd wife Elizabeth McPHERIN. Sara had one child Susan Loretta, and there are no more records for her. Robert fought for the confederacy in Company C, 60th Tennessee Infantry, was taken prisoner in the Battle of Big Black. He next shows up in Washington Co. 1870 Census with a new wife. At this point, I'm assuming that Sara died sometime between 1862 and 1870. If anyone has any information on her, I would be eternally grateful. Kathy

Hi, Everyone, The taglines with information on unsubscribing, and links to the Washington County and Jonesborough sites are not showing up on the list right now. When I first noticed it, I went into the utility page and all of the original taglines had been deleted. I reentered them, updating the URL for Washington County TNGenWeb, and they are still not coming up on the list messages. URRR. Sorry for the inconvenience. RootsWeb technicians are supposedly checking the problem. Pat Sabin

Is there any evidence in the Washington TN records of a John or Henry Wood about 1780 to 1800? Thanks Judy

Member of Logans Chapel United Methodist Church are writing a history of the church and are asking for information pertaining to their church. Originals of pictures and information will be returned to the owners. The church building was a log structure and known as Cox¹s School House but it is not known when the name was changed to Logans Chapel. An early minister¹s name was Logan from which the congregation adopted the name, Logan¹s Chapel.

Is there any record of an old school called west side, west view or something of this sort. My father said he went to school there, It would be close to the old soldiers home. We even have a picture of our father with two civil war veterans. He would have went to school there around 1910 -1916 He was born in 1903 and I would like to try to find a class picture...Thank YOU Susan Heinzelman

Real old time mince meat did have meat in it. I don't care for it. I make one that I can from fruit that I can use in all the mince meat recipe and that I really like.MHS

THANKS! > Gary Pitcock > South Windsor, CT. Gary, I need to spend more time looking in the various Ford databases to find your link to Lloyd Ford, but I'll post your query to the KYMONROE list as many of your other cousins will be able to see and respond to your message. You should know you are descended from the Quakers of Maryland -- the Prices and the Fords. There's lots of posted data about these families as the Quakers kept good records. James Randolph "Randy" Jobe has your mother in his database, but she is not linked to Will or Alonzo; but not to worry, we'll find her. Here at Randy's database, I traced your Pitcock line and see that Jimmy Dale goes to Leander Hammer, so we're kin on that line also! Shirley Ford Bowersox may have your line, as could some of the others in Clan Ford. In a recent telephone conversation I had with Randy Jobe, I learned the late W.D. "Bill" Ford's home page is no longer available because of technical problems. Bill died in an accident last June, but his widow, Frances, had left the site on line for all Ford researchers. Bill had transcribed and posted the Lloyd Ford lawsuit and although I don't have the transcript, I'm sure some of the other Ford researchers will be able to get a copy to you. By the way, I knew your dad. As I remember he was very, very tall and had red hair, but I can't remember your mother; Did she use her middle name, Merlene, or Phyllis? I was born in 1941, and was likely not in school with either of them. Here are the URLs where you can link to Randy, Phil and Doug's databases.

I agree that old stories are what makes life and our ancestors interesting. Just names, dates and places, makes our ancestors just that - just names. They get very personal to us when we can find out little stories or how they lived. I love it. Now if I could just find out something about Sarah Margaret PETERS - BAYLESS. She is such a mystery.

Hi Janet, Loved your stories of growing up - buttermilk- using Crisco (which I grew up on as well as 'lard' for pie crusts - yummy - Funny the things we remember with such enthusiasm when we grow little older - like 50s and older (like 70s) - We also have all ten of the Foxfire books and periodically get one down to have a few laughs and read 'how they used to do it' - Jan W.

Ann, If the marriages didn't take place in Washington County, then the records would not be available there, or am I misunderstanding that you were originally referring to marrige records? By the way, some of the Washington County, TN NELSONS are related to what I believe to be my MAYFIELDS, and I have been comparing notes with a NELSON descendant, should you be interested.

Hi, Thanks for giving us the location of the Barter Theatre. We've been to Bedford, VA and I sort of recalled that it was near there and seen literature at some time about it - That area is one of my very favorites. Haven't been in a few years - wish we could spend time again up there but age has taken it's toll - We live in So. FL - have for over 40 yrs - my hubby was born in Jonesboro, TN so we both love to spend time in that area Thanks again, Jan W.

I'm on several lists, and this one is the most delightful. You are "real" people with not a cross or cranky one among you. Thanks for talking about the 'olden days'. These are the kind of stories that you need to include in your genealogy records for your children and grandchildren to read or they will be forgotten. I know that Fox Fire has a good collection of how to's, but your family hearing how "you" or "grandpa" did things would be better. Thanks, Jean in KC descendant of LANE/HUNT of Washington Co., TN/to KY/to MO
