He said "Watch this!" as he purposely swerved into deep sand and got us good and stuck. Sure enough, within 30 seconds there were 3 or 4 pick-ups, complete with tow chains, ready and willing to lend us a hand. Guess the boyfriend just wanted to give me a demonstration of Texas hospitality.

I just could not resist............Let the Rockin' begin...........pj Difference Between the North & the South???? *The difference between the North and the South ?" at last clearly explained:* *The North has Bloomingdale's, the South has Dollar General.** The North has coffee houses, the South has Waffle Houses. The North has dating services, the South has family reunions. The North has switchblade knives; the South has Lee Press-on Nails. The North has double last names; the South has double first names. The North has Indy car races; The South has stock car races. North has Cream of Wheat, the South has grits. The North has green salads, the South has collard greens. The North has lobsters, the South has crawfish. The North has the rust belt; the South has the Bible Belt.* *FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . .** **In the South: --If you run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. This is what they live for. ** Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.... do not buy food at this store. Remember, "Y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural, and "all y'all's" is plural possessive Get used to hearing "You ain't from round here, are ya?" Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it. Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big'ol," truck or "big'ol" boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper**.** Be advised that "He needed killin." is a valid defense here. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all watch this," you should stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there. Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim. In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway. **AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we wouldn't call 'em biscuits. ** **Send this to four people that ain't related to you, and I reckon your life will turn into a country music song 'fore you know it.** Your kin would get a kick out of it too!*

To Shirley Miller. My maternal great grandfather was Moses H. McClelland Davis b June 1838 in Lancaster Co SC d Jan. 1926 in Union Co NC. I have not been able to find his father but there is a Mrs. M. Davis on the 1850 Lancaster Co SC census with a son Mack Davis age 12. Then the 1860 Lancaster Co SC census Mack Davis has his own household as he had married Harriet Belk. Sorry I can't be of help with your TN Davis. Dorothy White

To Paul: My Honeycutt is Serena "Rena" Honeycutt b ca 1820 in NC married Adam Clontz ca 1834 in Anson County and d 1898 in Union Co NC (that part of Anson that became Union Co in 1842.) I have not been able to prove her father and ancestors but they were not far away from that part of Anson where Adam Clontz lived. Sorry I don't know any Honeycutt's in Illinois. Have you seen the full Hankote/Hunnicutt/Honeycutt lineage? The original William Hankote from England arrived in VA in early 1600's and his descendants spread out all over the country as it developed.

I am searching for information on the following family: William T Prater Born 1858 Synthia Elkins Born 1859 Their Children: 1) Lula Prater 1882 married Steve Archie Garner (they married ca 1899) 2) Lynn Prater (female) born 1884 3) Minnie Prater born 1884 4) Bernice/Bruce Prater born 1887 5) William Prater born 1882 6) Bertha Prater born 1894 In 1900 , Cynthia was widowed and the family living in District 8, Weakley CO. The oldest child Lula was married and living next door -- so far I haven't been able to find a marriage record for her. In 1910 Cynthia Prater and the children still at home are living Caruthersville, Pemiscot CO, MO In 1910 the oldest child Lula and her family are still in Weakley CO TN in Dist 16. By 1910 another child, either Lynn or Bertha is still living but no longer living at home. Most likely, she has married but I cannot find a marriage record for her.

Mis-transcriptions are quite wide spread..especially from the earlier censuses. Little importance was place on spelling accuracy during those days...plus writing styles differed widely among the early census-takers. The early census-takers spelled the names given them as they heard them...not necessarily as the name is correctly spelled. Difficulty in deciphering early handwriting even compounds the issue. So bottom line...the quality of transcription of early census records is determined basically by three things: the accuracy of pronunciation of the person who gave the original information to census taker, the spelling skills of the census taker and then finally the legibility of the handwriting of the census taker. A lot of times, if you can't find a name using the right spelling, spell the word the way it sounds and search for it. I.E., if you can't find Howard...look for Howord or Howurd. It's worked for me a lot of times.

He had been frustrated because they could not be located in Ancestry. After checking the film we discovered the name had been mistranscribed as EVIE. That got me thinking--transcription is a subjective art, but generally pretty accurate. Has anyone else had problems with mistranscriptions in the census indices? I wonder how wide-spread the issue is. ***** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ***** Richard Saunders, Curator Special Collections/Univ.
