I have added more names, H-L, to my online roster of the 1st TN Infantry Battalion (Colms'), C.S.A. at: http://www.ficom.net/members/wolfslayer/1tennbn.html Will Smith

Bobbie, The Wm John Dalton I am backtracking was born in 1798 in VA, not sure which county, and died in 1870 in Livingston Co. KY. (Smithland). I am not sure when he left VA but I feel sure he married in White Co. TN.ca 1824. I don't think he ever migrated out of Livingston Co. KY after he settled there, if he did he didn't stay long because he died there. I am having the same trouble with the name John Dalton, I drove to Williamson Co. TN, Smith Co. TN and White Co. TN, Sumner Co. TN and many other counties in TN as well as the Archives in Nashville, TN and found a Dalton with the first name of John, they must have been everywhere. I have not looked for other Daltons in central and eastern KY. because my line seemed to have stopped migrating after stopping in Livingston Co.KY and all the children were accounted for. The next time I got to the History Center in Frankfort, KY I will look for Wm in central, KY, sorry I was not able to help. I sent two messages to TNWHITE-L today and some Demon kept sending them back, I wonder what I was doing wrong. Bill Wallace, Radcliff, KY.

East Tennessee Historical Society Hosts Genealogy Conference and Family Reunion Celebration The sons and daughters of Tennessee's pioneer founders are heading home this Memorial Day weekend. The East Tennessee Historical Society (ETHS) is hosting a weekend-long genealogy conference and family history fair, May 26-28, in Knoxville, Tennessee. A highlight of the conference will be a "family reunion" of members of the society's family heritage project, First Families of Tennessee (FFT)the debut of a new First Families of Tennessee book. Guests attending the conference will face a wide variety of options and activities, including a two-day genealogy conference featuring national and regional experts, a family history fair and street party in downtown Knoxville, motorcoach tours of historic East Tennessee sites, and a "family reunion" dinner at the home of Tennessee's first governor, John Sevier. The genealogy conference, held at Knoxville's Hilton Hotel, May 26-27, will examine Southeastern "roots and routes" - focusing on our ancestors and their migrations into and out of East Tennessee. Guest speakers will discuss a variety of topics including Scots-Irish research, Cherokee genealogy, Tennessee land records, Tennesseans in the California gold rush, frontier religion, and more. Experts will also discuss research topics in states associated with Tennessee's earliest residents, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Descendants of Tennessee's first families will celebrate the publication of the East Tennessee Historical Society's newest book, First Families of Tennessee: A Register of Early Settlers and Their Descendants. The book, a tribute to the ancestors enrolled in the FFT project, will include names and vital stats of the more than 2,000 ancestors enrolled in the project, along with a registry of FFT members. The book will be unveiled in a special ceremony and will be available for purchase at the history conference. Guest speakers will include Dr. George K. Schweitzer, Charles Sherrill of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Russell Baker, Robert Davis, historian Walter Durham, and other experts on a variety of genealogical and historical topics. In addition to the multi-track genealogy conference, ETHS will host a genealogy and family history fair featuring mini-workshops for beginners, vendor displays, tours of local historic sites, carriage and trolley rides in downtown Knoxville, and living history demonstrations. The fair will also include a downtown street party outside the historical society's headquarters with live music, dramatic performances, historic reenactments, children's activities and more. While the theme of the weekend will be built around a family reunion of First Families of Tennessee members, attendance at all the events is open to anyone with an interest in history and genealogy. The First Families of Tennessee was founded by the East Tennessee Historical Society in 1993 to honor the state's early residents and to recognize their descendants. The program is open to those who can prove descent from a person living in any part of Tennessee by 1796. Housed in Knoxville's Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection, the First Families of Tennessee files provide a one-of-a-kind resource for historical and genealogical research.

I am trying to find Wm. John Dalton, who was supposed to have had two children born in White Co. one in 1825 and one in 1827. His wife said she was born in TN on the 1860 cenus taken in Livingston Co. KY. Has anyone found this Dalton, he may have used the name John Dalton and moved to Overton Co. ca 1830 or maybe the part of White Co he lived in was divided up and became Overton Co. In 1840 census he was in western TN in Gibson Co. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Bill Wallace, Radcliff, KY

Hi All, I just noticed Ancestry has posted the 1920 Van Buren County census. It's free to search until March 20, 2000. You can reach it at the following url: http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4384.htm David

Am new to the list and don't yet know "who has access to what." Can anyone tell me if there are any McGeorges in the 1860, 1870, or 1880 White Co., TN census? What county was Chattanooga, TN in 1860? Bradley? Hamilton? Thank you, Mary

John, if it is of any help to you, John David Walker's parents were from Surry Co. NC. They were John and Elizabeth Jarvis Walker. There are some other families in the area from Surry. I am not familiar with the Turner surname, but hey, it's a big area! Nancy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Would someone please check your marriage books for a marriage between: JAMES PARKS and SARAH CAROLINE ARMSTRONG/DUNIGAN Thank You, Paulette Williams

Thank you for posting this for the Franks families. I had wondered, because of a trust deed, if there were any connections of Jesse Franks (born 1801) to my Halterman/Halteman family for some time. With this I can see the only connection would be a kinship through the Moore and Holder families. Do you know anything of the reason for Jesse Franks and Melverd Halterman to have had possibly, a business adventure together?

Does anyone have a source for purchasing good maps of the area from the 1800's. I would like to try and pinpoint the places my Greens and Menefees farmed in. Marna
