Well, just about all of these are known to me, used by my parents, who are from Missouri (Dade County) with ancestoral roots in the south. One of my Moms favorites has always been "lick your calf". These sayings were so commonly used as I grew up, I just didn't think about them being so old. I guess the fun part now is throwing them in now and then in conversations that I have with people who are from the city. And, having lived in the city for the last 7 & 1/2 years, it helps me to not forget my country roots and home. I have stressed so much to my children to not forget or loose theirs. It can restore a familiar peace to your soul. Bev Clark El Paso, Texas [email protected] wrote: > Hey Georgia granny- This is the Texas granny. Looks like you are > gonna have to lick your calf over.

I would like to ask Howard though if he throws his cow over the fence some hay? For any of you that have helped me, look for my g-grandmother Sally/Sarah Young, I am most delighted to report that I have found out who she was. Her name was Sally/Sarah Farler from Perry County, Kentucky. She married my g-grandfather Jesse Young. So let me encourage you never to give up!! Thanks to those who have been concerned. It has been there all the time. But we didn't know any more than Adams off steer did about finding her. Some times I would get so shook up that I didn't know if I was washing or hanging out. But thank the Good Lord He sent us some help. And I must tell you it was a miracle. Have a nice day, From the other granny.

If so, do you know their migration path? Best regards, Jim Young

I am new to the list and would like to know if anyone can send me the Civil War Slang. I am sorry to have missed it.

Hello listers, I am looking for information on the following people. John Young b. 1819, m.1839 in Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland to Isabella Duncan b. 1819 in Glasgow. Parents of John: James Young and Jean Ammens (would like information on them.) Parents of Isabella: George Duncan and Elizabeth Pierret. (would like information on them also) I believe Duncan and Pierret were married 1811 in Barony Lanark. Anything you can give me , I would appreciate. Thank you in advance.

James W. YOUNG and his family were enumerated in the Washington County, Arkansas census for 1850: James W. YOUNG . . . 32 yo [b. 1818] Indiana . . . carpenter Marget Young . . . . . . 31 yo b. Tennessee Sarah Young . . . . . . . . 5 yo b. Arkansas Julia Young . . . . . . . . . 3 yo b. Arkansas Miriam Young . . . . . . 8/12 yo b. Arkansas I have not been able to find a marriage record for James & Marget in Washington County, Arkansas. It is possible that they were married in one of the other counties nearby - but I don't have records available for those counties. I *think* but cannot not prove that this James W. Young is connected to the family of Susan Young (widow of Garett C. Young) who was enumerated in Jasper County, Missouri for this same 1850 census. Is there anyone on this List who knows where James Young came from and where he went after this 1850 census. Thank you.

Actually, many of the terms discussed on this list have been attributed to the Scots Irish or Ulster Scots. Are we fixing to solve a puzzle? ie. And look where they settled. Good luck with the search. Linda

Most of these expressions are very much in use by "us older folks" here in southern IL. also. While everone is awake and reading the list does anyone know any of the Youngs that were in Sumner Co TN or Logan Co KY between 1790 and 1810. I am especially looking for Samuel Young. Thanks J. Ray Young

I am in Tennessee and we have a store here in my home county named "Jot'em Down" store. The whole community is named that. When I was a kid and saw the store's name for the first time I was with my Great Uncle, Hassel Young. I asked why that store was named that and he said it was because when folks would charge their goods they would jot it all down (name and what they got). When the store first started it was the only one around that would let folks charge. Point is: we got that kinda stuff here too.

I'm not a granny yet either but mine are old enough for me to be. I can remember slang being used too but I have a couple of more that I haven't seen yet. Moo juice = milk (of course) cow suave = butter cackleberries = eggs My dad is always saying funny things like this. Like when he told me about the first time he ate boiled orka. He said the buger slid down so fast he had to jump up and see if it was laying in his chair. Or one time some one asked him what size shoe he wore, he said that he wore a 10 but an 11 felt so good he gets an 12. So will miss him when he is gone.

Hi William, In what part of TN was your YOUNGs. I have YOUNGs in Hardeman County, TN. My William H. YOUNG was born in Livingston County, KY in abt 1829, his family moved to Hardeman County, TN in 1832, then William moved on down to Harrison County, TX before 1848 and married Margaret Ann VANDERSLICE. Any one you know? I know your William H. is not my William H. because of the dates but could they be cousins or related in some other way?

In the 40's there was a program on our Zenith battery operated radio of "Lum and Abner" which I believe coined the term "The jot em down store." It was picked up and carried on from there. I am a granny and soon to be a g-granny. The terms mentioned as civil war terms was frequently used in the Eastern Kentucky hills from which I hail. My g-granny who lived to be 89 years old and was born in 1876 and died in 1965 used most of the terms and some other words which I still hear used in this region. I recently published a book on "Robert & Judith "Lydy" Young and their related families in Kentucky." They had a daughter Matilda Young who married Elisha Nix and the family moved to TX. I have been in contact with a decendant of Matilda and Elisha. She had a brother William Young. He may have decendants in TX. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, April 08, 2000 10:56 PM Subject: Re: Civil War Slang A "Jot em' down store in East Texas, where I live, is a store where you can trade on time.

Documenting Marriages in Georgia: Colonial Period through 1900 Introduction This guide is intended to provide researchers with information of the various types of marriage records found in Georgia during the 18th and 19th centuries. The first part of the guide contains a time line outlining some significant legislative changes pertaining to marriage records. The second part contains a list of the various types of marriage documents with definitions and information content. The third part of this guide is a chronological listing of significant legislation relating to marriages. Note: However, please be aware that genealogical information such as the names of parents and where the family came from do not appear on most marriage records in Georgia. Ordinary Court (entitled Probate Court since 1976) Marriage Licenses Marriage Certificates Marriage Bonds Parental Consent Form Marriage Applications Superior Court Marriage Contracts (or Marriage Settlements) State Board of Health Definitions Marriage Banns Marriage Notices Guide to Abbreviations Marriage records for most Georgia counties are available on microfilm at this Department through 1900. Additionally, for a few counties, some original marriage records are also included in our collection. Generally, information concerning post-1900 marriages is available from the Probate Judge’s office of the individual counties. On-site researchers are invited to review these records Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:45 p.m., and on Saturdays 9:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m. This Department is closed on most state and federal holidays. When requesting marriage records by mail, please include the county, names of individuals and approximate date (within 10 years). Do not specify type of marriage record from the Ordinary’s office (i.e., bond, license, certificate). We shall search the index to the available type(s) of marriage documents for that county, during that time period, and inform you of our findings. Please see our Mail Reference Form. This information is also available in a complete brochure. For more information, please see our publications page. Marriage Banns A marriage ban is a public notice stating that a man and a woman have plans to marry on a certain date. State laws, dating from 1799 through 1863, refer to the publication of marriage banns in a church for at least three weeks. Later laws do not cite a time period with regard to banns. The law authorized a Justice or Minister to marry a couple if they had been granted a marriage license or if marriage banns had been published, and after 1863, required him to certify to the Ordinary that the marriage was performed. The Ordinary, in turn, was to record this in the book with the marriage licenses. One may expect to find few, if any, references to marriage banns, either in County Marriage cooks, or Church Minute Books. Marriage Notices Notices of marriages are in some cases published in newspapers, usually announcing a marriage which has already taken place. One may not expect to find a marriage notice for most pre-1900 Georgia marriages. Those that do exist are found most frequently in the newspapers of major towns, and cite usually name of bride and groom, county or town of residence, and date of marriage Guide to Abbreviations Marriage documents contain signatures of various officials who participate in the marriage bonding, licensing, performing, certifying, and recording process. In many, but no all cases, the official’s name is followed by initials which indicate his office or position. Incidentally, do not expect to find the signatures of the bride and groom on most marriage documents. A groom, bound to a county official in a marriage bond, is expected to sign a marriage bond. When transcribing or recording this record his name may be followed by the abbreviation "LS", indicating that the original record contained his legal signature. CC; CCO; CO – Clerk of the Court; Clerk of the Court of Ordinary; County Ordinary: The term "Ordinary" is most often used to indicate the name of the county office holder whose duties include the issuing of marriage bonds, granting of marriages. (Example: CCOFC – Clerk of the Court of Ordinary of Fulton County.) DC; DCO – Deputy Clerk; Deputy Clerk of Court of Ordinary: May grant marriage licenses and record marriages in absence of the Clerk of the Court of Ordinary. There are infrequent references to a Deputy Clerk. JIC – Justice of the Inferior Court: Justices may perform marriages. Likewise, a Justice of the Inferior Court may sign a marriage certificate indicating he married a particular man and woman. (Example: JICRC – Justice of the Inferior Court.) JP – Justice of the Peace: With regard to performing and certifying marriages, a Justice of the Peace has the same authority as a Minister or a Justice of the Inferior Court. However, the performing of marriages by Justices of the Peace and Ministers is more frequent than by Justices of the Inferior Court. MG – Minister of Gospel: Ministers, like Justices and Judges, may join persons in marriage, and in the same manner, certify that the marriage was performed. RP – Register of Probates: Before approximately 1800, the Register of Probates handled estate settlements, marriage records and other matters. These duties were later handled by the Ordinary
