I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 1200 prisoners on record from the state of Tennessee and almost 800 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. As Tennessee was one of the states that was torn apart and was truley brother against brother,,I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Hi Cousins: While looking for something else in Searcy Co. AR., I found some old letters written in 1915 to the newspaper, which was having a contest to find the oldest resident of that county. The below letter writers indicated that they moved from Hardin or Wayne Co. TN to Searcy Co. AR. James BRATTON, Sr. J.W. Gray (mentions the marriage of Jim KELLEY to Nancy BEAVERS and Aunt Pop SHIPMAN) V.H. WILLIAMS (mentions father A.D. WILLIAMS) W.T. GRAY (mentions parents Mr. And Mrs. John H. GRAY apparently a brother of J.W. GRAY above The letters can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~arsearcy/SHistories.html The letters are interesting reading since the writers were all born before 1850, even if they aren't your ancestors.

Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin the complex and time-consuming process of upgrading our servers to new hardware. o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be unavailable during this time and we are asking for your patience. For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can visit http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses. o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to pages until everything is working correctly on the new servers. There will be a short time that the pages will not be available as the transfer takes place. o List Administrators: When the time comes to move list servers, we will be halting operation on the machine to complete the move. We expect to have the machines down the least amount of time possible. No mail will be sent from or posted to your mailing lists. We do not expect to lose any messages. o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your board happens to be gatewayed to a mailing list then the information for list administrators apply. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a few "growing pains." - RootsWeb Staff

TENNESSEE (3 Ghost Counties) Lewis County - Created in 1843, then completely abolished for a year following the Civil War. It became a part of Maury, Lawrence, Hickman and Wayne Counties for that year. The following year it was reorganized, and is still in existance today. (NOT A TRUE GHOST COUNTY) Tennessee County - This county was created in 1788 as part of the State of Franklin. When Tennessee was created in 1796, the county surrendered its name. It was divided up among Stewart, Houston and other counties. Wayne County - Created in 1785 as part of the State of Franklin. Abolished in 1788.

Searching for somebody on this list who may be a desc. of Isaiah Blackwood. I am seeking information on where he m. Emaline Whitehurst, where in Wayne Co they lived and where they might be buried. He was born circa l82l and she was born cira l825,both in Tn. She was his second wife and I don't think they had children. I am trying to find out more about her and what happened to her 3 daughters by her first husband, Eli C Whitehurst. dale johnson

I believe it is in the Courthouse. 100 Court Circle Room 305. Don't know hours of operation. I think the town is small enough that it should be easy to locate. Contact Edgar Byler through the Wayne County web site for hours. bty

Would someone give me the address and directions to finding the Historical Society in Waynesboro? I also need the days and hours they are open. Thank You.

Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans. Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s home state. Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story. The workshop is co-sponsored locally by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library. For additional information about the free workshop contact the CMCPL at 931-648-8826 or contact ETHS at 865-215-8824. The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and promoting the history of the region. The society’s activities and exhibits are made possible through the support of its membership. For additional information about the genealogy workshops, membership, or other ETHS programs, call 865-215-8824, or visit the historical society’s web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org

Hi there, I am working on the family of Sarah Staggs m. Henry L. Kerley. I do not know who Sarah's parents are, but I have noticed a LOT of Staggs in Wayne Co. and I am pretty sure that one of these families is hers! ;o) Henry L. Kerley (1826) is one of the sons of James Willis Kerley (1799, NC) and Elizabeth Ann Roric (possibly Roarke). I find James and Ann on the 1850 Census of Wayne Co., but I cannot determine which family is them in earlier census years. This family of Kerley's went to Stone/Izard County, Arkansas, and eventually settled in Randolph Co., AR. This family of Kerley's also married into the Cypert family three times (though not My line)- Achilles Napoleon, William Garrett and one of the Kerley daughters. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Jesse Cypert, wife Jemima and small family moved from Warren Co., TN to present day Jackson Co., IL about 1809. They accompanied Jemima's parents, James and Nancy Puckett Worthen. James Worthen was reportedly killed in 1812 by Indians and the Cypert family returned to Tennessee. I have not yet determined where in Tennessee they were living between 1812 and 1816 when they settled in Wayne Co., TN. It is possible they were in Madison Co., Mississippi Territory (now Alabama) during this period since Jesse Cypert's brothers Francis III and Baker were enumerated in the 1816 Madison Co., Mississippi Territory census. Guess this is more information than you wanted. Edgar Edgar D.
