Our Sunday has been super quiet! We had a good Sunday school and worship service, thought we might go this evening for a music service, but my wife didn't feel like it, so we stayed home. It's been sunny all day here, high was 86. Not quite Fall yet, but the garden is saying it's near, things are shutting down fast. All afternoon we just stayed in and kept cool. Day of rest! .......

I am the GGGgrandaughter of Lougenie Rust and I wanted to say hello and thank you for your website, photos and great information there. I was able to share the photo with my grandmother, who remembers the Allens/Peerys. Have you had any success tracking down Lougenia Rust's parents? I'm also having trouble tracking down the parents of Anderson Braxton Allen and Andrew Jackson Allen, but I am told they were twins, over 6 foot tall and had shocking red hair! My grandmother says the parents are Seth Allen and Martha Vickers, but I'm having trouble backing it up. I just wondered if you had anything on this??

Lougenia was my GGGgrandmother. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to figure out who Lougenia's parents were?? I'm wondering if they are Joseph G. Rust and Lucy E. Croely? I know that Lucy Rust shows up on a census in the Peary household as "Mother-in-law", which gives us an approximate age/birthdate...I found those two in Kentucky around the right time, but I can't tie them any other way.

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.

The site is not accessible. There is a plaque on hiway 190 nearest the site but it is still some distance and there would be nothing there but the river anyway.

Dear List, There are a lot of creative minds on this list and I do hope that someone can help me knock down my brick wall - her name is BESSIE MEDDE (SNOW) MAYNES. She was the daughter of DELL(US) FRANKLIN SNOW and MARY LELA (SEATON) SNOW and had a twin sister named ESSIE MARIE (SNOW) GALLIMORE. BESSIE and ESSIE were born December 5, 1907 in Dresden, Tennessee. BESSIE was on the 1930 Weakley County census with her husband, FRANK MAYNES (born October 27, 1905 according to his November 19, 1949 Certificate of Illinois Death Record) and daughter, MATTIE LEE MAYNES who we now know was born on February 19, 1925. My BRICK WALL is that we can't find when BESSIE died. Older family members remember that she was living east of Gleason about 5 miles when she died of TB and some think that it was 1931. Some of her twin sister's family members had a gravestone erected in New Valley Cemetery and used the year "1935" as the date of death (a guess among the family members). I have searched everywhere that I know to find BESSIE's date of death. Any suggestions from anyone out there - does someone remember the family name and know if there are any family members still living in the area? I am sure somewhere there is an old family Bible with BESSIE's date of death recorded in it. Would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you. Janis SNOW Mundy Reno, NV
