Actually - the mincemeat we had I remember as being made from dried fruits ... In Scotland they call minced pork mince meat. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 1:31 PM Subject: Re: [TNWASHIN] Re: TNWASHIN-D Digest V00 #39 > Dixie, > You are right about the mincemeat - no sage in that!! no way - it was sort of > sweet and used for pies, etc. > > Jan >

Jean, Thanks so very much for providing all those resources in one place. I can hit the print button easily. Had been putting off the gathering and word processing. Gail in Brevard, NC

Now, Jemimah, Since you are mentioning FORD, I am interested because it appears that these FORDS were related to my HALE family. Someone sent me some of the information regarding this court hearing, and it all started because I was first sent information regarding a Uratha BACON, and since it's such an unusual name, I was trying to find more about Uratha HALE who married Charles BACON, it was meaningful and eventually, I found that these folks are all connected to my group of research.

Yea! those stack cakes were really good and those bread/butter pickles, beets, and my favorites, the pickled green beans. Neverhappen again and they were not such good old days but i am glad i was around, and glad i'm still around. I don't cook that way of course, but not so long ago, i took my city bred kids to an uncles house whose wife still does, and boy, did they eat and brag. Goes to show you-prime rib can't hold a candle to good old days foods. Even if it was just plain cooking, it kept us filled and mostly healthy. Rose

Wanda, Glad to be of some help. I passed that area on my way back from dropping my hubby and his recumbant bike up in PA, and wished that I could deviate from the main road (I was later told that it was only a matter of minutes away), but I was scheduled to be at my friend's home by suppertime in SC, so I had to keep driving. I want to make a trip up there and spend a couple of days, sometime in the future. Beautiful area. I wondered as I drove on, why anyone would ever choose to leave that place and end up in MO for the rest of their lives. Don't get me wrong, MO has some pretty areas, but nothing to compare with the beauty of that area. And, of course, I do know WHY they moved on...... the ever present urge to make it, and to own one's own land, I suppose. Hope your trip there goes well.

Hi, I wasn't joking about OZ...OZ is Kansas...And, the reason I can be so cocky about the mincemeat is that I have my G.G'mas' recipe for it...And, I had a Croatian G'ma that made jelladina...I saw her boil the hogs head and scrape it...I don't think that is exactly the way to spell it, but, that's how G'ma pronounced it. She couldn't read or write so, I wrote it the way I heard it...lolol... Dixie Lea in K.C. (Ks.) OZ...

Buttermik was not breakfast food at our house, dinner and supper. But it sure is good on cornbread, not the stuff from the store, don't like it. And that white utter, I hav'nt had it for years, i'd even be willing to churn it! Rose

Hi Jean, You have been a lot of help and I really appreciate all the resources that you mentioned for Washington County. I hope to make a trip in late May or June to TN. I was hoping to get some research done before I go and this information that you sent will be a great asset in preparing for the trip. Thank you again. Wanda

Hi Wanda, I am afraid I am totally at a loss with information in those areas, or even where to go, other than checking the USGenWeb site for Washington County, to see if the information is there..... Here's what I found that I had copied from an old search of the site: County Offices with Records of Genealogical Interest Washington County Courthouse Clerk of Courts PO Box 218 Jonesborough, TN 37659-0218 Washington County Courthouse, Downtown Center 101 East Market St. Johnson City, TN 37604 County Court Clerk (423) 753-1621 (Jonesborough) (423) 461-1455 (Downtown Center, Johnson City) (Marriage,wills, probate records) Register of Deeds (Land deeds and deeds of trust) (423) 753-1644 (Jonesborough) Chancery Court Clerk, (423) 753-1631 Circuit Court Clerk, (423) 753-1613 Trustee, (423) 753-1601 Hours: Eastern Time Zone Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; closed Saturday County Public Records Commission Chair: Stewart Cannon, Jr. Downtown Centre Courthouse 101 E. Market Street Johnson City, TN 37604 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Washington County Court Records Scope and Content The Washington County Court Records contains administrative records of the county government: court dockets, minutes and registers; legal documents, correspondence and exhibits pertaining to cases in superior, circuit, chancery and county courts as well as those under individual justices of the peace. Although this collection does not contain a complete set of dockets for the various courts, additional volumes are available at the Washington County courthouse in Jonesboro. Records of the supreme court of errors and appeals were removed and accessioned as a separate group. The court records span from 1780 to 1960 but the largest volumes of documents are in two periods: 1800-1860 and 1870-1930. The group contains some records of the State of Franklin and the Civil War period; however, there records are in smaller numbers and are likely incomplete. Few records are included after the 1930s. The records reflect the operation and activities of the courts, county government, local individuals and area businesses. Chancery court records provide useful information on the settlement of estates and the study of family history. The county court records give some insight into how the county government operated in caring for the poor, supervising the schools and county offices, and maintaining public properties. The records are located in the Archives of Appalachia, East Tennessee State University, Sherrod Library, 1st floor.

My grandma Ketchum lived to be 94 and never ate a piece of toast. Always biscuits. Grandpa (lived to 87), always ate them too, and if he didn't have gravy on them, he would take butter and sorgum and stir it together on his plate with a knife, and then spread it on the biscuits. I thought everyone ate it that way. Grandma used to take the lard, and make lye soap out of it. Mom said everyone in the winter had chapped hands from the soap and the cold. Even all the kids at school. They didn't use tallow for the soap, because the cows they had were for milk, not eating, so it was just pig fat (lard). My mom says that lard makes the best pie crust there ever was. Kathy

My grandfather's name was George Ketchum. The family lived around Vinita, up by Grand Lake. My other grandfather, Hardin Jeffries, lived in the Pryor area, and he raised cotton. Grandma Ketchum was born at Cane Hill, Arkansas, and when I was younger, I thought it was Cain Hill, and always wondered why they would name a place after Cain. Sometimes we sure get funny ideas.
