I suppose they may= have died in childhood By 1866, he was marrying a widow woman in Cherokee County. This marriage st= arted another family and our family in Shelby Co. knew the family in Wood Co. (coming from Cherokee C= ty. marriage) I have checked with relatives in Wood Co. and they indicated that Ervin didn't stay long th= ere and left. They thought that he came back to Shelby Co. I don't think he did. Do you know anything abou= t this or could you direct me to someone who would. I would like to see a Bible record that includes Ervi= n. ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01BFE431.41A31340 Con

Forwarded Message: Subj: [LONGHUNTERS] Saving pioneer cemeteries Date: 6/30/00 6:53:30 AM Pacific Daylight Time From: jadyer@swbell.net (jadyer) Reply-to: LONGHUNTERS-L@rootsweb.com To: LONGHUNTERS-L@rootsweb.com Perhaps the Longhunter list can put some of the "pint-up" political energy into a worthwhile project over the holiday of our independance and through the remainder of this year! Here is an announcement of a project I have been working on through the Cemetery-L@rootsweb group. If it is to succeed, we will need a lot of help getting the word around the appropriate places. JADyer In the spring and again early this summer we had a discussion on the Cemetery-L about needing federal protection for our pioneer cemeteries. With the willingness and expertise of Bill Spurlock that discussion has made a giant leap into becoming a reality. An on-line petition is available at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/sg0001/petition.html While the petition is set to go active on July 4th and run until October 1st, it has already been signed and is working well. Very soon there will be a petition available to print off and carry with you to get hard copy signatures. Genealogy Society meetings & parents of Boy Scouts who work on cemeteries for badges are just a couple of groups that would be good places to start. We are hoping to have it available very soon. When the necessary work is completed, that petition will be available at: http://www.savinggraves.com/petition/index.htm The following message is available from the on-line petition to help spread the word about the petition. You will receive the cut-and-paste message in a confirmation letter after you sign the on-line petition. Remember, don't sign the on-line petition AND the hard copy petition. The less duplicate signatures, the better our chances of getting a legitimate petition to the law making bodies. .............................................................................. ........................................................... Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the online petition: "National Cemetery Protection Act" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/sg0001/petition.html I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself. Best wishes, (your name) .............................................................................. .............................................................

I don't know about Dr. Ellington, but you might consider the 'Eugene' part. You should cousult the expert grandson of Dr. Eugene Short Carroll, William E. Carroll: wbilcar@ionet.net If this dosen't work, there was a medical association to which doctors in Shelby County belonged before 1900 (and after) which usually listed most of them. I come across lists from it from time to time. If this fails, you can still consult the 1900 and 1910 censuses, where he will probably be identified as a doctor if he was.
