Don, please email me.........I have found something that might be of interest to you on the WELCH family......... Thanks pj

Lee, Do you know if these McDearmans you're researching came from Virginia? There are sooo many spelling variations. I'm trying to help my cousin research her McDurmon line (present day spelling) who, I believe, came from Ireland, and you may have helped by posting that 1880 and 1900 census. Thanks very much for the census. My cousin's grandfather was Mike McDurmon (listed as M. McDearmon in the 1900 census). I believe his father was the Barry McDurmond listed in the 1880 census with Ireland as his birthplace. I don't know where this family was in 1870, the census that might break down this brick wall by proving Mike was, definitely, the son of Barry. We've often wondered if all the McDurmon/McDurmond/McDurman/McDearman lines in Weakley Co. were somehow connected. It looks like some of them may have come from Virginia. Thanks for any input.

My gggrandfather William NICHOLS' second wife was Emily Alice HERRON. Emily's parents were Isaac C. & Amanda McREE HERRON. They were in Weakley Co. and later went to Lake Co. Censuses show Isaac's bp as KY and both his parents as IND. If these names are familiar, I would appreciate any information you can share. Isaac is one of my brick walls! I can't remember the dates right now (brain isn't working too well at 2:30 a.m. Pacific DT), but I can post them later after I check my files.

Ben, Thank you so much for your response to my post! I have some REAVIS obits that Martha Smith was kind enough to find for me. One for Minne REAVIS ATKISON refers to her sisters: Mrs. John GOODWYN, Mrs. Talmadge PEERY, and Mrs. Robert MANSFIELD, all of Dresden. The Mrs. MANSFIELD must be your mother's aunt, Mrs. Robert Barr BRASFIELD?? What was her given name? And do you know the given names of Mrs. GOODWYN and PEERY? Minnie & E.T's father Leonidas W. Reavis was married twice. Do you know his wives's names? I would appreciate any info you can give me, even tho these are collateral lines for me. The ATKISON/ATKINSON and PEERY families are connected to my direct line of SAMMONS/SIMMONS. Another of my major lines is connected to HERRON, but I will put that info in a separate post. Thanks again, Jewel ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Cheryl, Recently I have been doing some research on the surname REAVIS in Weakley Co. There appeared to be some connection between the REAVIS & KING families, but I haven't figured it out. Your post caught my eye because of one of the children being named REAVIS--perhaps some female family member's maiden name?? Good luck in your search, Jewel ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Does anyone have information about Lester McDearman who was born May 11, 1897 and died January 17, 1939. His parents were Granville and Mary J. McDearman. He married Della Williams and had the following children: Dorothy, Doyle, Raymond, Mildred, Ruth, and Elmer Lee. I would appreciate any information about this family. They lived in the Gleason area.

Hello Matt Parham & others, Have you ever found or wondered if any of your early "Parham" ancestors had been of another name version such as, Farham/ Farhan / Faran etc.??? My ancestor is Alexander Foren / Forin / Fornum b: abt. 1811 NC or VA depending on census record; married Sarah A. Stiller / Stetler 5 July 1834 in Gibson Co., TN. I have most of the children etc. if interested. I have had an awful time with my Foren / Faren / Forin / Forrin / Foarhen / Fordhan / Fordham etc ect line, and have looked closely at the other phonetic versions of the name, for possible clues or an outright find. Your comments would be most appreciated. Thanks In Advance, Cheryl

There are two Parham Cemeteries. One is just east of Martin and one is just east of Dresden, maybe even in the city limits of Dresden. This is the link to the map of the one outside Dresden from the USGS. It is the one closest to Orr Springs. You can zoom in on the location to get the exact street names. http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis538/getgooglemap?p_lat=36.2931176&p_longi=-88 .6870003&fid=1296767 Peggy M. T.

Bob Killebrew, you just gave me a laugh like never before..........I loved your statement..."This sounds like something the older generation made by memory"........how right you are........they would jot down a few things but for the most part.........just like I said sight and taste.........I cook that way today........... I had forgotten you wanted the crock kind........got to think about it for a spell and see if I can remember how we done that.........If I don't come up with it this Sunday, please remind me next Sunday............ Thanks pj

My mother (who lived in Weakley Co.)also made and canned green tomato relish every year which she called Green Tomato Catsup/Ketchup. It was fairly sweet, not hot or really spicy, and consisted of green tomatoes, cabbage, onion, salt and sugar. Those are the only ingredients that I can remember as being a part of her recipe. I do remember that I could have eaten a whole jar of it at one sitting. She also put hers through a food grinder that she fastened to the table. I think she cooked it before canning it so I imagine she used vinegar in the recipe also. I hadn't thought about it in years. It brings back memories and makes me wish I had some. LOL Maybe I'll try making one of pj's relish recipes.

The green tomato relish that we are looking for is made like sauerkraurt. The tomatoes, peppers and I believe cabbage were put through an old fashioned food grinder. Salt is added. It is then placed in a crock with a plate placed on top and weighted down. I do not remember how it was treated after that. I sure hope that someone out there has the recipe. So when fall comes I can start making it. There is nothing better with pinto beans and cornbread. Glenda COOK Melson
