If authorized, can anyone recommend to me a reasonably priced bed & breakfast run by a local history buff or genealogist? I attempted to find a place through the internet but didn't turn up anything. I plan to be in Wayne County October 24-26 and would love to meet someone who might share a bit of their local knowledge over breakfast. I plan to try to learn a bit more about my ancestors from the area and see where they lived, even find their land if that proves possible. (My family are Jacksons, Staggs, Fosters). If anyone can give me a lead, I'd be most grateful.

Sorry, I forgot to say the reunion on October 20th will be at the Fishers of Men Church. Been up too long. Carolyn Johnson

There will be a Johnson Reunion for the descendants of Samuel And Presley Johnson in Iuka, Mississippi on Old Highway 72, east of Mineral Springs Park, on October 20th starting at 10:00 A.M. Samuel and Presley married Nancy and Elizabeth Dickerson, daughters of David Dickerson. They were in Wayne County in the 1830's prior to moving to Tishomingo County, Mississippi. I believe they were related to Lewis Johnson whose daughter Rachel married William Hays. For more information contact me at the following e-mail address. [email protected]

LAWRENCE CO> ARKANSAS GOODSPEED James R. Hollis is a Tennesseean, born in Wayne County, January 1ate, 1837, and is a son of W. B. and Susan (Meredith) Hollis, both of whom were born in Wayne County, Tenn. In 1839 they moved to Arkansas and settled in what was then Greene County (now Clay), where they made a farm and resided until their respective deaths, the former's demise occurring in 1873. James R. Hollis remained with his father until he attained his majority and in June, 1861, enlisted in the Confederate service, Fifth Arkansas Infantry, and served until the final surrender, participating in some of the most important engagements of the war, among which were Murfreesboro. Shiloh, siege and surrender of Atlanta, Joneshoro, where he was taken prisoner, but was exchanged soon after, Nashville, where he was also taken prisoner, and Franklin, where he was captured and held until June 21, 1865. After being paroled he returned home and engaged in farming. He was married in what is now Clay County, August 19, 1858, to Elizabeth Payne, a daughter of Boswell B. Payne, whose sketch appears in this work. Mrs. Hollis was born in Adair County, Tenn., and was reared in Arkansas. Soon after his marriage he located on his present farm, consisting of some 220 acres, about 120 acres of which are fenced and mostly under cultivation, well improved with good residence and barns. Mr. and Mrs. Hollis are the parents of the following family: William Thomas, Jane B., wife of G. W. Pickens. Joseph E., Ada E., Mary Alice, Albert Harvey and John Royal. Three infants are deceased. Susan was the wife of Francis Davis, and died about 1878. Mr. and Mrs. Hollis are members of the Baptist Church, and he is a Mason and a member of the Agricultural Wheel.

Hi Greg, They aren't listed in the book, "Marriage Records of Wayne County, Tennessee 1857-1929", by Irma Matthews Plott. The 11th District was for the most part out in the country. It was the southeast corner of the county. Iron City in Lawrence County was nearby. I also checked the book, "Lawrence County, Tennessee Marriage Records 1818-1923", by Mrs. Claude A. Carter but they weren't in it either. Jerry W.

This was sent to me by a lady from another list. Now I have an answer for those who ask me why am I so interested in the genealogy. They tell me not to waste time on the past but I see it as finding out who I am and why I am the way I am. I am a story teller. I want my family to know where they came from and why. Jane Foley Cornelius, NC "My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as it were by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do? It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones." (unknown)

Can someone look in the 1870 Census for Wayne County on either page or Microfilm reel 466. I am looking off a Index of the 1870 Census for Tennessee that some one sent me. I am looking for a James A. Harvey age about 70 or 71. Could they give me the date of the Census , plus the area he was living in as well as the Census data that the 1870 Census covered. Greg Simmons

Hello To All: About 10 days ago I lost all my files with Family Tree Maker due to a COMPUTER ERROR and must REBUILD my files. I have done research in Wayne County for over 35 years and have been able to help MANY, MANY FOLKS with their connections in the area. Now I need to ask you to try to help me REBUILD MY DATABASE if possible. Many of you on the list have helped me build my files with information that was lost through the ages and handed down with "folk lore." I would appreciate all and any information sent to RECONSTRUCT the file. Thanks in advance as we are all connected somehow!

Edgar, The Historian arrived in Ft. Worth, Texas a couple of days ago. Thanks again for all your hard work. Barbara

Edgar, I received my Wayne County Historian several days ago, and I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed it very much. I was glad to see the list of Death Certificates 1914-1925. I found several that I didn't have before. I enjoyed the old photos, the queries and the good info. Thanks for doing such a great job, all of the time! Joyce S.

Seeking information about my gr gr grandparents, EPHRAIM and MARY DANLEY COFER, who are listed in the 1830 census of Wayne County TN. I understand that many early records were destroyed by fire. I would appreciate learning what records might still be available for Wayne County about 1820 -1840??? Will appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to help me. Thanks, Dena Cofer Iverson
