Marcia, Thank you for the offer. Yours are not mine. I have relatives buried all over Wayne Co., so many in fact that I would only want direct lines, such as GrGrandparents. I need to go to Wayne Co., probably will take me a week to get thru. :-) The lines that I have there are; ROSE, NORMAN & BECKHAM Thanks, Wanda While I am thinking about it, do's anyone this list know who this Beckham is? Zachariah Beckham b. 1824 TN. d. bf.1870, Newton Co. Ark., m. to Elizabeth Casey, 1834, Newton Co. Ark. These two are on my Casey line. Since Zachariah was born in TN. I can't help wonder if he is not related to the Zachariah Beckham from Wayne Co. Both Zack's had a daughter named Mary Ann. Quite a coincidence. There's abt. a 20 yr. difference in both mens ages.

Wanda, My brother took some pretty fair photos in Wayne and Lewis Counties related to our HAYES family that he might share ( I would share but my A drive is on the fritz), in case you are looking for that line.

Pat, I think a person who was a Cooper is one who makes Wooden Barrels and probably wooden buckets, etc. David ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 2:59 PM Subject: [TNWAYNE] Cooper > Could someone explain the term "cooper" that is listed as an occupation > in the census records? > > Thanks. > Pat > > ________________________________________________________________ > The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! > Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER! > Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today! > > > ==== TNWAYNE Mailing List ==== > Visit the Wayne County, Tennessee Genealogy and History Page at > http://www.netease.net/wayne > >

Edgar, Could we have a program, whereby volunteers in Wayne Co. would take pictures of tombstones? Also to ask your list members to reciprocate in their area? I would most certainly do that for someone in my area. I have so many ancestors buried around Waynesboro that I certainly would pay someone to do it ( gas, film, time) I am not talking about searching, especially something out in a pasture with waist high weeds. What I mean is ; with directions to a cemetery. I live in Rogers Co., Okla, and I would be willing to do this for somebody, for the same courtesy. Wanda Norman

Is there a Library or Museum in Clifton? If so, what's the addresses? Tom Evans, Minneapolis

Pat, When the father of a family died with minor children, a local member of the community, usually a male, was put in charge of the funds, lands, whatever, that would be inherited by that minor to see to his\her well being until they became adults. The settlement was an accounting to the Court as to the use of these funds/whatever. This is probably not the exact answer, but close.

Hello, Haven't been on this list in a long time. I'm researching the William Joseph Dickerson line who was son of James Matison Dickerson. Also the Nora Morgan line who was the daughter of John Goin Morgan and Harriet Throgmorton. Also Sarah Arnett family. Happy Hunting. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Does anyone on the list know where I could find a picture of the battle flag or regimental flag that would represent the 6th Tennessee Cavalry USA?  Thanks, Linda
