I can't get this URL to the Martin Library to work. The problem may be that the URL is in two lines, and the part on the second line is not in hypertext format. If you can redo that URL about the Lockeridge encounter I would love to read about this incident. --- On Thu, 9/2/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: TNWEAKLE Digest, Vol 5, Issue 173 To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, September 2, 2010, 2:01 AM Today's Topics:    1.

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? ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 17:31:05 -0500 From: "pj" <[email protected]> Subject: [TNWEAKLE] Lockridge's Mill and Dresden-Mayfield Rd To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1";     reply-type=original Garry, Ralph and I both think that the Dresden-Mayfield Road is Hwy 89 that comes out of Dresden to Palmersville to Sedalia, Ky on to Mayfield....we think Hwy 381 or 383 when you hit the Kentucky state line....... >  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? > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 17:55:50 -0500 From: "pj" <[email protected]> Subject: [TNWEAKLE] Lockridge's Mill and Dresden-Mayfield Rd To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1";     reply-type=original I stand corrected....... > Nope.  Never was.  That road wasn't even built until 1933 or so.  The > Mayfield Rd is labeled on the 1836 map of Weakley Co.
