My grandfather John W Moon ran a Grist Mill on the Obion river, probably in the 1880's. He lived at Palmersville. There were three different mills, a saw mill,cotton gin and the grist mill, all ran by different people. One by a Mr. Palmer and I don't have the name of the other man.Would appreciate any help as to exactly where these mills were. I think that they were located on a three acre plot and may have been ran by one water wheel.

HELP from all you amateur historians. I have just read again the Dieter Ullrich account of the Civil War engagement at Lockridge's Mill recommended by Richard Saunders. It is a very good read for anyone interested in local history. It is not only an excellent account of the engagement but it also presents the divisions of loyalty among the local population very well. BUT, the author seems to think the road across the Obion River at Lockridge Mill was the Dresden-Mayfield Road. I am almost, but not quite, totally certain that is wrong. It is difficult to prove these things beyond a shadow of doubt. But I believe the Dresden-Mayfield Road has always been the route that today follows TN 118 from Dukedom to Dresden. This road crosses the Obion about 4 miles downstream from Lockridge's Mill today and may have been a little further west earlier. I believe the Road across the river at Lockridge Mill may have been known as the Paducah Road in the 1830's but I am not certain of this. Are there any opinions out there?

The few times I spoke with her, she said she was going to make copies of some pictures and send them to me but I never got them. I know she mentioned wonderful pictures of the twin Allen boys in sailor suits. I just tried the number I have for her and it's no longer in service. So I sent your e-mail to some other Peery contacts to see if they might know Lougenia's parents. They're related to George Almus Peery. I keep hitting the same old brick walls and lose interest for a while. In looking over my notes from studying the 1840 census, I narrowed it down to L.M.Rust who was the best match who showed a wife of the age Lucy would have been and a daughter Lougenia's age. Samuel Rust also had a daughter of the right age of Lougenia. I just didn't know where to go from there. Did you find out who William Almus Peery's parents were? I had also called a contributor on the LDS library. His grandmother was Mavis Browning who w! as Melba's sister who were daughters of Eleanor May Peery Allen Browning. This has been a great genealogy day for me as I also got an e-mail from another cousin on my grandmother's side. He saw a picture of his maternal grandparents that I had put on Footnotes. His mother was my grandmother's step-sister. You can contact me direct at [email protected] Cousin Toni Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My uncle promises to look for me the next time he is there. I will share anything I find with you, but I imagine if you've spoken with her, you probably have it already.

My hope is to visit this site one day and maybe find a long lost family member. I understand that the Grissom family may still be in the area and have recently found out that a young Union soldier who survived the battle was wrapped in a quilt by my 2nd great grandmother, Mary Benson Lockridge,  so he could get through the Confederate lines without being recognized. After 122 yrs, his family found Betty Grissom who confirmed that her great-grandmother gave the quilt to their greatgrandfather.   Does anyone know anything of Betty? or her children? or of any Lockridges that may still be in the area?     --- On Fri, 8/27/10, Garry Brown <[email protected]> wrote: From: Garry Brown <[email protected]> Subject: [TNWEAKLE] Lockridge Mill To: [email protected] Date: Friday, August 27, 2010, 6:26 PM Joe is correct but let me add a comment or two.  The plaque is on Rd 118. The actual site of the main contact (it was a very small battle unless you happened to be in it) was about 1.5 miles north of the plaque at the mill site where there was also a bridge across the North Fork of the Obion River. You can drive to within 1/2 mile of the site on the road that runs north from the plaque. The bride washed out about 1950, I think, and was never replaced.  At that time there was a small store building where the former crossroads was, 1/2 mile from the mill, and at least three houses on the road to the river. The "plantation house" was just a large two story white frame farm house that was abandoned in the early 60's and since burned.  It was last owned by the Bondurant family and I think they had a store at the site prior to WWII.  Today the former road for the last half mile to the river is a line of trees with no evidence of the earlier houses.  I believe it is easy to get permission to go to the old mill site.  There are some signs of pilings for the old bridge and there are still very dim traces of the mill such as some foundation timbers.  The River was dredged and straightened in the late 1920's but this small section of the river where the old mill and bridge were is one of is one of the few stretches that follows the original river bed.  There was a mill in this area from the very beginning of the county and a community there with a Post Office named Black Oak at the time of the civil war and just afterwards.
