The fonner hunting ground of the Chickasaw Indians abounded in wild game, deep forests, fertile lana and untapped resources. But somehow these weren't enough for some adventurous Tennesseeans who in 1825 decided to leave their new homes to seek their fortunes in a trading expedition to the wilds of the Spanish provinces that eventdy would become New Mexico. The hardships aud dangers ahead of them were formidable: a round trip of more than 2,000 miles on horseback, rough terrain, uncertain weather, hostile Indians. They would be gambling not only with their investments but with their very Iives. Even so, the lure of the unknown aud the tantalizíng promise of great riches outweighed all other considerations. In 1822 Capt. Wiüiam Beckneill and three companions had ridden into Fradch, Mo., following a 48-day horseback ríde fiom the Santa Fe atea2 Instead of retunllng with beaver and other furs usually brought back by Indian traders, they carne home with heavy rawhide sacks bulging with silver pesos. Quite by accident, Beckneil had stumbled on a lucrative new trade opportunity. On 1 Sep 1821, he and some others had set out for Mexico to trade with the Indians for horses and mules and catch "wild animals of every description."3 Mexico at that time was still a province of Spain and under severe trade restrictions. Two months later, the men were surprised by Mexican soldiers who welcomed them warmly and told them they were now in a fiee country. Mexico had won its independence fiom Spain just 26 days aAer Becknell and others had left Missouri. The troops escorted the men through San Miguel to Santa Fe where they quickly sold all of their supplies at a handsome profit. Before retuming home, BeckneU met with the governor who expressed the hope that Americans would trade with New Mexico and even emigrate there. Back in Missouri, Beckneii quickly organized a trade expedition to Santa Fe, and it proved so successfid that he followed it up with others. News of the proñtaóle ventures spread to nearby states, including Tennessee. On 8 Feb 1825, the Nashvzlle Gazette devoted more than a fidl page to an account of the Santa Fe expeditions given by Franklin postmaster and

Storrs, who later would become the first consul to Santa Fe, told of lea* an 1822. expedition with a company of 81 men, 156 horses and mules, and 23 two-wheelers. They traveled fiom Fort Osage, Mo., to Taos, the ñrst Mexican settlement on the route. The round trip and trading took four months and 10 days. The principal goods they camied to the provinces were cotton fabrics, shawls, handkerchiefs, cotton hosiery, shawls, Light cutlery, and looking gIasses. In exchange they brought back Spanish miiled doilars, a small amount of gold and silver in bullions, beaver fur, and mules. Storrs said another company scheduled to leave in the fall would take $18,000 worth of goods, and -- by the most conservative estimate -- was expected to bring back some $180,000, mostly in Spanish doilars and bullions. With stories like this appearing in various Tennessee newspapers, interest in participating in such a venture ran high, especially in the Madison County area Lt. Jesse Embrey5 organized a Tennessee caravan made up mostly of "young blades, unattached and eager for a th~ill."~Signing on for the trip were adventurers mainly fiom the Western Distiict but some fiom Middle Tennessee as well. On 5 Mar 1825 the Jackson, Tenn., Gazette announced that "the Santa FeCompany will proceed on the 19th instant to the western destinaíion with a train of pa~khorses,"~and reported tbat "accessions" were coming in fiom Winchester [in FranMin County] and Davidson County. On the eve of their Aprii 1st departure, the men camped at the spring of Major Loftin near Jackson and went into town where they had a dinner at the Belí Tavern. Early the next morning, the caravan traveled to Memphis where it took on several new members, making about 40 in all. According to the Jackson Gazette, each man had a packhorse besides the one he rode and some had two. A dispatch fiom Little Rock dated the 3rd of May said that some 12 or 15 days earlier the company amived at the Post of Arkmsas where they were detained "in consequence of losing some of their horses, most of which were subsequently recovered." The Arkansas Gazette reported the company had passed up through Big Prairie some 15 or 30 miles north of Little Rock, and were pretty weil advanced through Crawford Co~uty.~ While nothing more was heard fiom the Temesseeans for a number of montbs, accounts in Tennessee newspapers of the day give an idea of how the expeditions were organized. A story in the S'rta, Tenn., Reviav, reprinted fiom the National Intelligencer, told of an 1824 trade expedition organized with 105 men, 34 wagons, and about 240 mules and horses. They took with them goods valued at about $25,000. The route they folíowed -- which would become known as the Santa Fe Trail -- covered about 950 miles fiom a point near Franklin, Mo.,~through &mas7 Oklahoma, and Colorado to Santa Fe. lo Travel time: 24 months - one way. The Knoxville Gazette in its 28 May 1824 edition ran an article fiom the FranWin Intelligencer that gives an idea of what lay ahead for the Tennessee adventurers. Each individual who lefi on an expechtion in Apnl of that year reportedly was equipped with: - 1 good rifle or other gun - 1 pisto1 - 4 pounds of powder - 8 pounds of lead -20 days9supply of provisions

The account was dated 24 Nov 1824. Storrs said there wodd be fow expeditions in all, wiih the next scheduled to leave MiswA about the 1st of May 1825. Ths apparenüy was the one in which the Tennessee wravan would participate, but it was June 1825 before the expedit- ion took off írom Missouri. Ernbrey's wife was Elizabeth Kavanaugh, daughter of Ja- P. Kavanaugh. Madison Cwnty court records show that Ernbrey was appoint- ed guardan of James' mmor children in Feb 1827.

(lhe original trail and cutoff are i8uctrated on the U.S. Park Sehmap on the precedii page) Page 4 - THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE /ANSEARCHIN'NEWS - Winter 2000 The article noted:

"The personal dangers and fatigues incident to this enterprise thro' a trackless region of such vast extent are so great that extraordinary advantages must result from the expedition to induce even the bold and hardy pioneers of the West to undertake it. We understand the company last year cleared $20,000." l1

In Juiy, the Franklin, Mo., Intelligencer published an abstract of a letter written in May by one of the traders fiom a camp near Fort 0sage.12 He reported they had been deiained several days -- "mostly by the loss of some horses which we recovered, by the badness of the roads, and the necessity of building bridges over the mire on each bank of the Big Sanibar." Despite these setbacks, he said the company was in fme spirits. Santa Fe trade statisíics compiled by Josiah Gregg,I3 regarded as the trai17s chief chronicler, shows that 130 men made the 1825 expedition, carrying $65,000 worth of merchandise in 37 wagons. Months went by and still nothing was heard fiom the Tennessee travelers. Then finally on 19 Nov 1825, the Jucbon, Tenn., Gazette reported 'a gentleman in town" had received a letter fiom one of the Tennessee adventurers. l4 Dated 2 Oct 1825, it said the company had &ved safely in Santa Fe and that part of the men had disposed of their effects and were on their retuni home. It was thought they would reach Fraukiin, Mo., in about 25 days. Among those said to be returning were Messrs. Royalb Gholson, Estes [also reported as Estel), Clemenis, Cock, and Joseph Nichol~on.~~ "They had with them $18,000 in silver, $138 in gold, and 630 head of mules. They had 130 more, but that number had gotten away from them and were supposed to be lost. Mr. Gholson alone lost 30. The balance of the company had set out from Santa Fe for Sonora, about 600 miles beyond Santa Fe, wtiere it was thought they would make extremely profitable sales and would not retum until the ensuing spring." Those going on to Sonora were identified as Messrs. Müler, Betts, Vorhees, Massie, Nesbitt, and Smith, who later were reported to have retumed to Tennessee by way of Texas and .16 Some interesting bits of infomation about their experiences emerged in the Nashville Whig17 which reported the adventurers had found Mexico to be a poor, mostly prairie country where people lived in villages and raised large stocks of mules and sheep. The Santa Fe mules were said to have been so used to grazing that the traders had to teach them how to eat corn by cramming it in their mouths. The Tennesseeans were irnpressed by the natives' ski11 at shearing sheep. They said the Mexicans used knives rather than shears and were so expert at it that they couid "divest ten sheep of their coats whilst one is sheared in the usual way of this country." Little more was heard of the caravan untii 28th Jan 1826 when the Jacbon Guzette announced that Abraham and Bird Smithi8 of Madison County and Sarnuel Winchester of Memphis had returned "fiom the Spanish provinces."

Smith who is Wed in a legal notice in the Jackson paper on 5 May 1827 regardmg seiüemeni of the Page 5 - THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE / ANSEARCHIN' NEWS - Winter 2000 According to the Gazette: "The three adventurous young men were said to have disposed of their ventures on very advantageous tenns at a place called Pass, parted with their companions, and set on their retum home. After traveling six days on their homeward joumey, they were attacked by a party of about 100 lndians who drove off most of their pack of 75 mules, leaving them only three or four which happened to be tied at the time." Evidence of the fiuits of their írade appeared in the advertising columns of West Tennessee newspapers in June when the firms of Winchester & Carr in Memphis and D. W. Wood & Company in Bolivar [Hardeman County] announced they had just received 100 pouncis of excelient beaver fur. In its 15 July issue, The Gazette said it would begin publication in a few days of "Dr. Roya's interesting, 'Joumal of the Tennessee Caravan.' " The editor promised that subscribers would not be kept in suspense any longer than he could possibly avoid, and vowed that he would "prosecute its publication with aU possible dispatch." While this seems to indicate that the joumal had already been written and was in the hands of the editor, the next few issues of the Gazette are missing and the paper, in the meantirne, had acquired a new editor. The journal apparently has never been found. On 5 Aug 1826, The Gazette announced the death of Col William Braden of Madison County on 30th July. The paper noted that the colonel had set out fiom Jackson in the spring of the previous year with the Tennessee caravan to Santa Fe. His obiwcontinued: 'During an absence of near 16 months - after having twice traversed the immense wildemess of a country infested by savages threatening extemination at every step and boundless prairies in many particulars not unlike the sandy deserts of Arabia, after having suffered every peril which man is capable of enduting and encountering difficulties almost too incredible to relate - to the inexpressible joy of his friends and relatives, he arrived safe at home on the 24th June in apparent good health, bringing with him no inconsiderable rewards of a perilous adventure. The next day aíter his retum he was attacked with a violent fever which teminated fatally on the 30th." Braden, a former Madison County justice of the peace, was buried with Masonic honors by Jackson Lodge No. 45 at the Methodist carnpground three miles east of town. A few days later, it was announced that members of the Santa Fe Company who resided in Madison County had met and passed a resolution of respect for theu deceased fiiend, and would wear crepe on theu lef&breasts for 30 days.lg On 2nd Sept 1826, The Gazette reported the "distressing inteliigence" that one of the members of the trading company -- ideníifíed only as Mr. Money-- had just returned home and reported the remainder of the company on theu return had been robbed on the Semirone [Cimarron] River of 450 head of stock by a party of Carnancha [Comanche] He said the company had proceeded on unmolested until the morning of 5th June when they were encamped to recruit stock. As reported by The Gazette: "They were engaged in cooking breakfast when a body of lndians made their appearance and approached under the pretext of friendship, breakfasted with them, and requested them to remain until the next moming which they [the traders] refused to do. The lndians retired a short distance over a hill and immediately retumed in hostile attitude and forcibly twk or drove off the whole of the loose stock, amounting to 450 head of Spanish jacks, jennies, mules, and horses. Thus were these adventurous sons deprived of the hardeamed fruits of 14 months' labor amidst difficulties and privations known only to those who have endured the fatigues of the enterprize. After the loss of their stock, they proceeded homewards as far as the upper settlements in Missouri where some still remain. Major Massie of this town has returned to Santa Fe with a company from Missouri."

The death of James C. Hays of Nashville was reported in the Gazette of 18 Nov 1826. The article stated that Hays died in Texas on his way home fiom Mexico, ex& date unknown. 1s it possible that he, too, had been a member of the Tennessee caravan? Another subject of speculation is whether members of the Tennessee caravan met up with Baiiey Hardeman,2] a fellow Tennesseean who in 1821 had joined his father Thomas and brother John in operating the only feny across the Missouri river at Franklin. Baiiey became involved in the Santa Fe trade with Capt. William Becknell and, while trapping beaver with him along the Colorado River near Taos, narrowly escaped starvation in the winter of 1824-25. A letter fiom BecknelIz2 shody afterward stated that Bailey on his return to Missouri about the fxst of June was to set out for Santa Fe with a large par&. This would have coincided with the planned departure of the Tennessee caravan fiom Franklin to Santa Fe. Whether Bailey made the trip and whether the Tennessee group was involved is not knowu. Another former Tennesseean the men may have come in contact with was Mrs. Meredith Miles Marmaduke, whose h~sband*~led the Santa Fe expedition that Bailey Hardeman was scheduled to go on. Mrs. Marmaduke was the fonner Lavinia Sappington whose father, Dr. John Sappington, was one of the £Úst medical doctors in Nashville and is credited with being the first to use quinine for treatment of malaria.24 Many questions remain unanswered about the Tennesseeans who took part in the e-tion. A complete list of the participants apparently has never been published. Only 18 of the aüeged 40 participants have been identified, and the fdi narnes of only five of these have been discovered -- the others having been refared to in newspaper accounts solely by sumames. The fact that several of the men had miiitmy titles suggests they were veterans of the Tennessee militia andfor *e War of 18 12. Whatever, the hardy group contributed more than just an adventurous chapter to American history. As Augustus Storrs, captain of several expeditions, said, "Few people have manifested more enterprise and perseverante than those engaged in this trafñc." In the process, Tennesseeans helped carve out and establish the historic traii that played a crucial role in the westward expansion of the . For the next few decades it would be traversed by the rugged explorers of the Far West ...merchants ... tearnsters ... mail carriers ... stage coach passengers ... Gold Rush adventurers ... soldiers of the Mexican and Civil Wars . .. and finally the railroad builders with their iron steeds that ultimately put the trail's packhorses out to pennanent pasture.

Human activity on the Chickasaw Bluffs escalated by centuries, decades, and then by years unid there was a group of permanent settlers even before the Proprietors laid out Memphis in 1819. Occupants of the Fourth were lured by the location [on the and between the growing cultures in Canada, Mid-America, and the Gulf Coast], the dety of the bluffs fiom flooding, the tirnbered and animal-stocked land, and the rnild weather. Ancient Indian tribes settled into their village life, including hunting and agriculture. If DeSoto in 1540 was the first Ewopean to contact the in "Old Pont~toc"~and the Monsoupeleas on the Bluffs of the Mississippi River, did they al1 realize that the expansion had begun which would alter life on the Bluffs? Frorn the 16th Century into the 17th Spain had tried to establish forts in the Mississippi valle^,^ but the Chickasaws lay between the northem French and Spanish Louisiana3 In a journal of 1681, Frenchmen Father Marquette and M. Joliee verified they had descended down the Mississippi River in 1673.5 Faíher Hennepin also traversed the Mississippi in 1680.6By 1682, LaSaiie had built Fort Prudhomrne at the mouth of the Mississippi and Wolf rivers, and opened friendly trade with the Indian~.~ Continuing the evolving picture, the settIernent at the Bluffs changed when the Chickasaws expeiled the Mon- soupeleas fiom the area in 1683.8 The Chickasaws did not occupy land on the Bluffs, but lived in their villages cded Ackia near Tupelo, Miss., and in the hill country along the upper Tombigbee River, six days fiom the Bl~ffs.~ They used West Tennessee for huníing and patroliing the Mississippi River where they plundered small French parties passing by. Vying for their sphere of iduence in this new world, the Spanish, French, and English pitted one Indian tribe against another for their 10yalty.~~When the French routed the Natchez and the Chickasaws protected some of them in Ackia, BienviUe landed Frenchmen and Arkansas índians at the Chickasaw Bluffs to march on Ackia in 1736. He lost the battle 26 May to the smd but fierce Chickasaws who had been supplied with many guns by English traders. BienviUe retwned to the Bluffs with reinforcements 15 Aug 1739 and built Fort Assumption. The lengthy campaign with the Chickasaws ended in a treaty.I2 France withdrew fiom America in 1763, leaving the English holding the land east of the Mississippi River and the Spaniards holding the land west of the river.I3 To appease the Indians and establish better relaíionships with them, it became important for the English to fom a network of trading houses. In about 1780 the English rnaáe an effort to establish a tradiug post on the Chickasaw Bluffs, encouraging the Chickasaws to rebuff the Spanish. Even George Rogers Clark md his brother William stopped by the BlufTs to aid the Chickasaws, and in 1794 when Jobn Overton was an acting Indian agent, he promised the Chickasaws merchandise and rifles. The Spanish, stiii under Gayoso's command, buiit a fort near the Mississippi and Wolf rivers and established the Southwest Trading House in 1794, but after three years withdrew. In 1797 Capt. Isaac Guion Med Fort Adarns [later Fort Pike] to distribute goods to the Chickasaw~.'~[According to the Chickasaw Bluffs Ledger, Fort Pickering had been buiit on the south end of the Bluff by 30 Sep 1796.1

On 15 Aug 1802 Samuel Mitcheü, U. S. agent in the Chickasaw Nation, wrote to W. C. C. Claiborne about starting a írading house at the Chickasaw Bluffs. A reply carne 4 Oct 1802 stating that one would be built there when the trading house for the Choctaws was ñnished. l5 This bnef surnmaxy leads into infonnation gleaned fiom a fílm of the Chickasaw Bluf% Indian Factory Ledgers, 1803-1818. l6 The film is not in chronological order, and some few records are about Tellico and Highwassie (sic). In the Ledger and loose papers were meticulous quarterly accounts in a clear, beautifd handwriting of merchandise inventaries, invoices of merchandise ordered, and peltries received and shipped. Salaries and subsistence along with other expenditures are listed as is merchandise sold, bartered, and traded. Biils of exchange for work on and around the factory, and due biüs given Indians for peltries stored in the Skin House also are recorded. The factor's salary at the Chickasaw Bluffs was $1,000 per mum with added subsistence of $1 per day (partly taken in merchandise). An assistant factor was paid $500 plus a $150 subsistence per annum. Factors named in the ledgers are: Thomas Peterkin, 1803-1806 Thomtis Wright, 1806, handling official business Peter Morgtin, 1806-1 808, U.

Rawlings and Baillio also served the Arkansas Agency fiom 1818 to 182 1. When corresponding with the su- perintendent of Indian trade, Rawlings used the utmost respect, closing his letters with "Your most obliged and very obedient servant, Isa: Rawlings, Junr, U. S. Factor." Men in the U. S. government service involved with the Indian Office business were: Secretary of War James Monroe; Secretary of War George Graham; William Wright; Indian Trade Superintendent John Mason; Indian Trade Superintendent Thomas S./L. McKenney; U. S. Acting Agent Samuel Treat; Indian Agent Erastey Granger; Indian Councd Agent John Johnston; George C. Sibley, St. Louis; and James Morrison, Esq., Kentucky.

The Factory retained one interpreter, who usually was hired for three months' time at $25 per month. Those who served in this capacity were Henry Love, Willie AUen, John Lewis MizeU, Tom MizeU, William McKinney, John Hogan, Mrs. Levicy Bayly and her Negro Peter. Those whose Negro men worked as attendants around the trading house were: Joshua Fletcher (Negro Buck and others); John L. Mizeü, Robert P. Bayly, and Mrs. L. Bayly (Negroes Peter and Büi). Their jobs included packing and iyng skins, loading tierces18 on wagons and delivering them to the river landing, repairing store houses, and overhauling the peltries and beating woms out of them. Even though the attendants were refened to only as Negroes or hands - never as slaves -- their "owners" were paid at a rate of $25 a month. From time to time, certain men were paid for repairing the Factory's Store House and Skin House, or supplying articles for that purpose. Thomas Hawkins supplied nails; John Ramack and William Hooper built a chimney and did other repairs; Joshua Pletcher built a new 40x20' Skin House; George Lean/Lear remodeled an old house at the Garri~on~~for use as a Store House; James S. Loury was paid for fitting up and repairing the Skin House; and John Sphar repaired locks and keys. Many of the same people handled other regular jobs tbat needed attention. Joshua Fletcher and Arnold KeUy were paid for overhauling and beating peltries; and Fletcher and Hugh Leekey were paid for folding, packing, and prizing packs of pelhy and hs(sic). James Ford was paid for makuig 15 packs of deer skins. Some sold items directly to the Factory. Benjamin Fooy sold lead and Ephriam Davidson French-weight lead. Alexander KeUy and Francis Moore sold gun powder, and Mrs. Levicy Bayly raw cowhides for use as thongs to tie the peltry packs. Another way money was earned at the Factory was by transporting business papers and letters to the Chickasaw Nation post office. Thomas Mizeü, William Porter, and various Indians were paid for these erran&. Jeny Seely was paid by John Henry Fooy to relay notice of Factor Robert P. Bayly's death to the indian Office in Philadelphia. When factors issued biil of exchange documents to pay for work andfor suppiies, the papers' legality was witnessed by one of these men: Jno. Hickering, Taliaferro Richards, Thomas Hawkins, Henry Love, Wiiliam T./S. Doherty, Lt. David Burford, Elisha Adams, Benjamin Lewis, or J. Anthony. Below is Thomas Wright's estimate for expenses in the Chickasaw Agency for the third quarter (July, Augusí, September) of 1806: For weaving and instructing the nation .... $135 For boarding weavers, etc ...... 85 For making looms and repairing ...... 130 For reeds and cotton cards ...... 180 For packing reeds and cotton cards ...... 20 For feeding pubiic horses ...... 12 For conveying Blacksrnith's tools and Iron belonging to Indian Departrnent frorn Chickasaw Blufi ...... 100 For the probable expense of the ensuing Council 100 For interpreter ...... 100 For contingent demands ...... 100 Total = $962

After merchandise invoices were sent to the Indian trade syperintendent in George Town and approved, the packages were shipped by flatboats from Pittsburgh via Shipping Port, Ky., to the Chickasaw Bluffs landing. They usually &ved in four to six months. The Indians had two ways to obtain the supplies they wanted and needed: (1) using the national annuity20given each tnbe, or (2) kiiiing wild animals for their skins and, in essence, trading them for a bill of exchange which wuld be redeemed for money. To ensure that the Indian understood the value, money was written in nurnbers and symbols -- as, $3 = III, $10 = X, $4.75 = 1111:::

"In hair" versions might have been worth more if in good condition, but Rawlings indicated that 1,500 of the 39,485 pounds in storage were probably damaged by worms and therefore worth only 10 cents a pound or $150. This lefl37,985 pounds of undamaged "in haii' skins worth 18 cents a pound for a total of $6837.30. The value of goods on hand varied considerably in quarterly reports as these figures iilustrate: 1 Nov 1811 = $2,479.46; 31 Mar 1812 = $7,371.26; 12 Dec 1812 = $3,871.34; 1 Dec 1814 = $12,550.63; 31 Mar 1815 = $2,414.72, etc. Arnong dcles ordereú quarterly for the Factory House were:

Peter Morgan, U.S. acting agent, added úiis note to the August 1808 list of merchandise: "In selecting goods for the lndian Vade, regard ought to be paid that they are of the best quality and free from damage. Many articles remain on hand at this Trading House because this has been overlooked. No people are more particular or more suspicious than the Chickasaws. Let flints particularly be the best that can possibly be procured and seled only yellow, green, sky blue, and red broad quality binding. That remaining on hand is black and deep blue - very unsaleable." isaac Rawlings, Chickasaw Bluffs factor, attached this note to a merchandise order dated 15 Dec 1816: "Salt is a necessary article at the factory and should the Supt agree to furnish the fadory with it, the quantity wanted can be ascertained and ordered hereafter -- come groceries, sugar and wffee in particular are desireable for acco@aton of white and mixt breeds of the Bl&, intennamed and otherwise connected with each other and who feel entitled to trade at the factory - these Page 14 - THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL JOURNAL /ANS.€AKCHIN' NEWS - Wmter 2000 though then would yield but little profit. If the Supt be disposed to supply the factory with them [they] probably [could] be procured here of barges ascending the Mississippi."

The comparison of invoices with merchandise received was very exact. When Rawlings, for instante, found one silk handkerchief more than was listed, he made a note of ií, and then included the extra charge against his account. From time to time, iterns were refused because of damage. That arnount was then subtracied fiom the invoice, and the goods was retumed. However, bug-eaten and moth-eaten items were accepted and sold. One report shows that 2,546 men, women, and children belonged to the Chickasaw Nation in October 1810. The figure was based on the 1,519 who assembled at the Bluff on 9 Oct to receive their annuities, and the 1,027 who remained at home "and al1 others." The breakdown of the population by villages was: pREsENT AT HOME x!!bYs m Women Children &kk WomenChildren Big-town 227 196 157 32 95 50 Long town 114 65 3 5 114 177 50 Sha-ta-la 187 89 128 7 1 104 180 Pontatock UllS-83 -28 20 50 646 468 403 245 452 330

As noted by Historian Gerald Capen, Jr., 21 the trading post was establisheú by the War Departrnent in 1902 "in accordance with Jefferson's expressed policy of encouraging Indians to run into debt so that they would be forced to cede their land in payment ..." Factory ledgers reflect this policy, showing that the Chickasaw owed a total of $5,928.46 on 31 Dec 1807; $3,467.63 on 3 1 Dec 1812; and $3,356.81 on 6 Jan 1814. When the Factory closed, the total had increased to $3,367.81 There is no evidence in the papers that this debt was ever paid or excused. The Journal lists the following individual Indians who had outstanding debts to the Fact~ry:~~ 18 10 - Chinnabee (the King) 18 11- Mingo Mashulectubbee (a chief) 18 13 - Heighokee 1807 - Miabobe 18 13 - Lunumpineh Tubbee 18 10 - James Co~bert~~ 18 13 - MoUy Glova 18 13 - Miatubbee's son 1809 - Mrs. Macintosh 18 13 - Pockabee 1807 - John Brown's son James 1810 - Isaac Perry 1813 - TheKing 1806 - George Colbert (not due) 1808 - Gen.

Slaughter was paid $4 for freight on the remaining property sent to Chickasaw Bluffs. Likewise, the Osage Indian House at St. Louis was closed and its remaining supplies were shipped to Chickasaw Bluffs 23 Aug 1815. Another time and date can be verified by these records about the Treaíy of 1818:

31 Mar 1818

John Henry Fooy received $9 for Benjamin Fooy for 18 bushels corn delivered 22 Jan last to a party of Cherokee lndians on their way to Arkansas Country under conduct of John Rodgers and the Guard, carne being in distress for provisions. Wit.: Paul Baillio Mention also was made 3 1 Mar 18 18 about a public ferry at the Bluffs Landmg. The last entries in the Chickasaw Bluffs Ledger were the quarterly reports of 3 1 Mar 1818. Isaac Rawlings, Jr., became factor of the newly opened Arkansas Factory on 1 Aug 1818. At that time, the rnerchandise of the Chickasaw Bluffs Factory was shipped on flatboats up the Arkansas River to nlinois Bayoy Ark. The foliowing men, who lived and worked in or near the U. S. Factory at Chickasaw Bluffs, seem to have remained in Memphis or Shelby County and are found on early records: James LJS. Hood, Wiliiam Moore, Joshua Fletcher, John Lewis MizeU, Arnold Keiiy, Wilüe Aüen, Thomas Hawkins, Benjamin Fooy/Foy, John Henry FooyIFoy, Isaac Rawlings, Jr., Paul Baillio, Jonathan Anthony, Wiiam McKinney, and Robert Fearn. Some other suniames found in the early records include Hogan, Hooper, Hawkins, Love, Doherty, Slaughter, Lewis, Wright, Love, and Adams.

"1 have known Mr. Reinhardt and his farnily as bng as I can rernernber. His farnily were old residents of North Mernphis and substantial citizens probabiy before I was bom. During rny childhood and until I was grown, they lived about two blocks frorn me and just about a block frorn Dave Wells. Incidentaliy, the old Reinhardt horne was on Looney Street irnmediately adjoining the store and residente of Dr. S. L. Wad- ley's father, which was located at the northwest comer of Looney and Skth streets. While Mr. Reinhardt is a few years older than I arn, he was universally and affectionately known in our par! of town as "Red" Reinhardt and along with al1 the rnernbers of his family was respected and liked by everybody in that con rnunity. As far as rny rnemory goes, he has ahways been a plumber and I know that he has always enjoyed an excellent reputation in his trade as well as a citizen and a rnan ... he and al1 of his people have ahvays been very high-type citizens." A cdficate fiom íhe City of Memphis states that C. E. was appointed by Mayor Watkins Overton and the City Commissioners to the Board of Plumber Examinas on 3 1 Dec 1938 as a joumeyman plumber. Several letters state that he was later appointed to the Board as a master plumber. C. E. and Kaíy's mmiage certificate -- now in pieces after nine decades of being folded and unfolded -- shows they were rnanied 26 Aug 1908 by the Rt. Rev. Mnsgr. Patrick L."Father Pat" Mahoney.

Page 35 - THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE /ANSEARCHIN'NEWS - Winter 2000 LIFE OF ONE FAMILY (conrinuecl) would be pastor of Sacred Heart Church where they worshipped throughout their married lives and where their children had their First Cornrnunion. A 1930 newspaper clipping tells of the dedication of the new $150,000 Sacred Heart School on Jefferson at Cleveland where the Rheinhardt children and at least one grandson would attend school. A 1947 postcard in the Bible bears a "thank-you note" to Katy for spending each Wednesday "in feeding His little ones" in the school cafeteria, and says, "Nine years of seMce is one grand record." On the other side, Katy noted, "1 still worked till 1953" -- making a total of 15 years of volunteer se~ce. Through the years, Katy clipped newspaper articles about her family ... her fiiends ... her church ... and happenings in her ciiy. Mosi, if not al1 of them, seem to have been stored away in the farnily Bible. One clipping is a photo of ice on the Mississippi River at Memphis in the bleak winter of 19 17- 19 18. Katy has circled the date 1918 and written in, "Catherine born May 20 [19 18]."5 An article about Catholic Bishop Thomas S. Byrne canies a notation by Katy: "Confmed Fred, Eiien Margaret, Almond, Viola, and Frankie." A 1932 clipping tells of a young Memphis boy, Albert Cohen, Jr., who was the youngest soldier to die in World War 1. He had lied about his age to get into the Army, and was killed when he was only 14. There is no note on the article to suggest that Katy knew the boy or his parents ... chances are, it was simply a story that touched her heart. Poetry appealed to Katy ... and she clipped numerous poems and saved them in the Family Bible. Some were humorous. One entitleú, "Them Gibson Girls" tells of a man who saw an album featuring pictures of the Gibson Girls and thought they were daughters of a man named Gibson. When he considered how much money it must have cost the poor fellow to keep his girls in such heclothes, he was glad his name wasn't Gibson. Another poem. "Dog Food," telis about how carefdly a new owner mixes and stirs food for a new puppy only to find that it has eaten his tough, best shoes. There aiso are numerous poems of a more serious nature -- some with reflections on immortality, as in "There 1s No Death" and sorne about World War I, like "In Flanders Field." Arnong other clippings is one about C. E.'s brother, James Reinhardt, who died 29 Apr 1947 in East Orange, N.J., at the age of 86. As a young printer in Memphis, he invented a typographical numbering machine that was used throughout the world for stamping papa money, bonds, and other documents. The patent he obtained on his invention in 1885 was the first ever issued for a numbering machine. Besides C. E., James was survived by three sisters, Mrs. Rose Halloran and Miss Lorena Reinhardt, both of Memphis; and Mrs. Lula Scherrer of St. Louis. Another 1947 clipping -- this one dated Jul 1 -- reveals that C. E.'s sister Lorena won $100 in an essay contest conducted by the laundries of Memphis. A postcard to Kaíy fiom Las Vegas in 1948 announced the rnarriage of son Fred Reinhardt and Vaiüe Henson. The message, dated 17 May and apparently penned by the bride, read: "We were married at 3: 15. He decided he could not get a movie star." The dates of the 7th and the 10th are marked on a page tom fiom a March 1954 caiender. On it Katy has written: "7th - Dad died in this month and "Charles Ed Reinhardt layed away the 10th.'' C. E.'s obituq, clipped fiom the paper and laminateú, states thai he died at St. Joseph Hospital 1; hours after being admitted. He had been in failing health since the previous November. C. E. was 73 when he died. The article said he had worked for the ciiy 10 years before going to work for private plumbing h,notably Pritchard Bros. on Madison where he was employed 19 years. In about 1950 C. E. had resumed work with the ciiy and was assistant plumbing inspector when he died. Besides Kaíy, his survivors were his son Frederick W., Sr., Hollywood, Calif.; two daughters, Mrs. Eiien Margaret Harreii and Mrs. Catherine Stovaii of Memphis; and two sisters, Lorena and Lula. His sister Rose apparently had died in the seven-year intervai since the death of his brother James. There is a poignant note fiom C. E. in the Bible: "When you think of me, please sing That Silver Haired Dad[dy] of Mine7'.... and an equaily touching and wistfd poern, "Lines to a Hu~band,"~which Kaíy apparently clipped in the early days of her widowhood.

(Source:Obituary,Memphis PressScimitar, 5 May 1998.) The poem, written by B. Y. Willíams, appeals to have been clipped from the Cathdic newspaper, Tennessee Register. it is undated.

It begins with the lines, "I wish I could have been the girl you dremed; Lovely andjoyous with unfailing smile, Gathering rosesfor your pleasure . .. . " and concludes: "Buí ... sometimes I brought íhorns insíead of roses for your hand ... Little matter why I failed aí times - beloveá, understand I wished lo be ymr drearn and your desire. " Tucked away elsavl~erein the Bible: a 1935 Valentine from her daughter Cathe~e... a card from Roberta and Henry Reinhardt of Glendale, Calif., announcing the biríh of their son, Edward Lee, on 16 Feb 1958 ... a napkin imprinted with the dates 1935-1960 from the silver wedding anniversary reception for C. E. 'S sister, Ellen Margaret, and her husband Charles Harrell. .. . and an orchid corsage that has been pressed between the pages of the Bible with a note that it was sent to Katy by her son, Frederick W. Reinhardt, Sr., in 1960.7 Katy lived on for 16 years after her husband's death. She took great pride, pleasure, and comfoa in the companionship of her grandson, WiUiam Hamey StovaU, Jr., who with his mother Catherine had come to live with her on Beard Place. Stashed away in the Bible are newspaper photos that show him as a young boy participating as a page at the Cotton Carnival ... and two essays he wrote as a sixth grader about a trip to Caiifomia with his mother in 1955. In one he tells of buying a turquoise and silver medal for his mother and "camouflaging it with luggage" under the seat of the car so he could surprise her with it on Mother7sDay, and in the other he writes about starting a rock collection. Both were graded "A and the teacher had written at the bottom of one: "Excellent if original." There is a school picture of Harvey as a sandy-haired, smiling teen-ager ... and then letters to Kaíy and Catherine fiom Harvey who was in Pensacola, Fla, in 1964 and '65 training as a cadet in the Naval Air Corps. Finally, there is a folded paper that proves to be a death certificate for Harvey who at age 26 had died 20 Mar 1969 in a plane crash at Kinder, La. This time there are no newspaper clippings. But a check of the Memphis papers reveals the sad details. Harvey was co-pilot of a plane that was canying 24 members of the West Tennessee Sportsman's Associaíion on a hunting trip to the British Honduras. The plane was to have made a stopover in New Orleans for a customs check. The airport was cloaked in heavy fog when the pilot attempted an intment landing. The plane crashed and caught fire, killing 16 of those aboard including Harvey, who had taken a job as co-pilot on the flight to help pay his way through Memphis State University where he was a senior in the College of English. He also worked as a flight instructor at the Memphis School of Aeronautics. Harvey's obituary stated that he was survived by his wife, Mis. Addile "Addie" Wright StovaU; a five-months old son, William H., Iü; his mother, Mrs. Catherine StovaU, and his grandmother, Mis. C. E. Reinhardt. Hawey's fiineral was held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Saturday, 22 March, followed by intment in Calvary Cemetery. One can only imagine the impact on the family of the tragic loss. And the fact that there were no clippings about it in the Family Bible serves to underscore the depth of the sorrow that must have befden Katy, her daughter Catherine, and Harvey's young family. Less than two years later, Kaíy died at age 83. Her obituary in the Memphis paper noted that she was the widow of Charles E. Rheinhardt and a member of the St. Jude Circle of the Ave Maria Guild, the Sacred Heart Altar Society, and the Plumbers7 Auxiliary. It said that Katy was survived by two daughters, Mis. EUen Margaret HarreU and Mis. CatheMe StovaU; a sister, Mis. WiUiam [Ella Mae Robbins] McLaughlin; two grandchildren; and eight gteat-grandchiláren. It did not say that she was a mother and a grandmother beloved by family and fnends ... a woman with a sense of humor, an unusual empathy for others, and a deep and abiding faith. Nor did it note that she was a woman who kept her family's history in a way that speaks volumes about their life and times.

What was it like to be a Robertson Countian during the tumuituous years of the Civil War7 Tbis little book refiects at least some of those feelings through ñrsthand accounts by its residents and soldiers as gleaned fiom diaries, memoirs, letters, and published accounts fiom old newspapers and histories. Two Confederate camps -- Fort Redmon near the town of Adams and Camp Cheatham near Cedar I3.U at McKinney's Station - were hastiiy constructed in the county in late 1861, and the ladies in the area made flags for the departing soldiers. It was thought that the war wouid be over in a few short monihs, but, as the author says, "In 1862 their lives were touched by the cold reality of war." A February 1862 excergt fiom the diary of Wesley Smith Dorris graphicdy describes the fall of Fort Donelson, and another fiom Joseph Addison Hinkle adds poignancy to the situation when he writes, 'mewe were lined up for the capitdation we saw quite a number of kiufoks and old acquaintances in the Federal ranks, men who had gone North at the beginning of the War and joined the Union army." The deaths of the three Hutcheson brothers in battle, and that of J. M. Winn while a prisoner of war in Camp Douglas, U.,are among those reflected in the sad commu~cationsof the day. The latter Mf of the book contains detailed unit histories and descriptions of the regiments forrned or stationed in Robertson County as well as unit rosters for Confederate, Unioq and &can-Amencan soldiers fiom the county.

Court recordmgs of wills, inventones, guardianships, and bonds for estate admi~strators,apprentice masterq and county and state officials in Gibson County's first 18 years cover a lot of happenings, and reveal a wealth of facts for data-seeking genealogists to si& through. While wills may make the most interesting readíng and provide the most detd on family relationships, guardianship bonds aiso contain important information regarding parents and their offspring. For instante, in June 1828 Wilson Brown had himself appointed guardian of bis minor children - Betsy, Martha, Newbum, and Cahin - so he could take possession of atl bequests that their pdfather rnight give them. Henry W. James took the same action regarding his minor children - William L., Thomas J., Benjamin M. and Katharine. Both men made $800 bonds, and signed each other's bond -- suggesting the possibídity that the children rnay have had the same grandfather. Some guardian bonds aiso reveal ages of the minor children. In Reuben King's guardian bond for John J. Davidson's chiidren in 1828, for example, it is found that Sabry was 16, Hamet 14, and Whitmil, 13. Reuben's bonds in the matter were co-signed by Abroiham King, who probably was his relative. Ferreting out this sort of infomiation fiom early court records is no picnic, and genealogists can thank their lucky stars for people like Barbara Crumpton who has done the digghg for them.

Box 48, $mvinaw, OK 74366, e-mail: cwydrw@sstelco. cm Sandi Garrett continues her series on the genealogy of each of the 12 children of Caleb Starr and Nannie Harian with this fourth book that covers five generations beginning with Thomms Starr who was bom in McMuin Co., Tenn., in 1798 and died in Indian Temtory West about 1834. Thomas had two wiveq Nannie WoU and Nancy Foreman. Valuable information is given on the six children bom by his two marriages and their descendants. Included in most instantes are birth and death dates, cemetaies, census and roU numbers. Along with each individual's name in the book's full-name index are the names of his or her spouse as well as the names of that spouse's parents, if known. The author acknowledges the large amount of information about Cherokee famdies on the Internet, but cautions that it will save researchers many hours of time and much money if they document the data before taking it as fact. She points out that anceston ofien were enrolled on the cenas under a different name to protect their children during the turmoil that followed the murder of Thomms' brother James Starr. During that time period, a Cherokee man would fiequently have more than one spouse and use diierent surnames. In many instanceq the children would go by their mother's sumame and sometimes even the husband would use his wife's name. She also notes that blood degrees were recorded wrong, saying, "1 have yet to ñnd a tnie recordii of anyone 1 know." & COUNTY FAMJIJES OF W!&&S, VOL. 1 & 2, by Tkomus Nich- oh.Reissued 2000. 5Px 8863" hco-dcover, 964~iilustrat4 inde;iced Two-volume set, $75.00.

Because the original edition can only be found in a handful of libraries, this reprint wiU provide genealogists with a book as scarce as it is useful. Histories of the ancient counties of Wales are combiied with Wylineages in such a way as to reflect the country's social and genealogical evolution. in producing this work -- considered the most complete and faithful compendium of Weish family history ever published -- the author personalIy went through county records and Wypapers that enabled him to conñrm facts tbat would have otherwise been obscure. It is said that Welsh genealogy is more accurate than most because it was an essential element in their law of propeq. To be a fiee Welshman and a land holder, a man had to show his lineage through nine generations. Only a person past the ninth descent could become the head of a new family. The two volumes are fiiled with fascinating historical bits about counties as well as the people who inhabited them, and are beautifully iilustrated with pen and ink drawings of ancestral homes and castles -- it's enough to make us ail wish we were Welsh!

From Kolwyck in Tennessee Back to Koolwijk in Stolwijk contributed by Charles R ami Sarah G. McDaniel, 175 Avalon D&, Rmky Mount, Va., 2415 l,e-mail: [email protected]

The story of a young Dutch stowaway who ultitnately made his way to Tennessee was recounted in an earlier article prínteá in Ansearchin ' News. l His name was Wiiiem Koohvijk, and he was no doubt the irnmigtant ancestor of al1 the people of Tennessee and surrounding states who spell their sumame Kolwyck, Kolwick, Colwick, or some other phonetic fom. His family Bible records his buth as 2 Nov 1792, and 1850 and 1860 federal censuses give bis birthplace as Holland. About the time of his 16th biríhday in 1808, Willem stowed away on a ship bound for Arnaica and is believed to have amived in Mobile or New Orleans. No natur-on record has been found and, considering the mode of his arrival, he probably was anxious to disappear. That he did until his maniage 23 Aug 1823 to Margaret AM Steele in Wilson Co., Tenn. He signed his maniage bond "Wiiiem KooMjk" but the court official wrote his name at the top of the document as ccWiiiiamColewiclq" thus being the first known record of mauy altered versions of his sumame. In investigating the origins of tbis family, we knew that Holland, a province of The Netherlands, had been divideá into North and South Holland in 1806. Not knowing in which to begin, we decided to úy to localize where the sumame occurred in the late 18th and early 19th Century. Using the Latter Day Saints' International Genealogical Index, we discovered that well over 90% of the recordings of this surme were in one town and its hediate vicinity in Zuid (Souíh) Holland. That town is Stolwijk, which is about 10 miles east and slightly south of Gouda, the closest nearby city. We obtaineú microfílm records of Stolwijk Kerk fiom the LDS in Salt Lake City and searched for the suniame. From that time on, we were eager to visit Stolwijk. This we were able to do in Sep- tember 1997 after a three weeks' tour of Continental Europe which ended in Amsterdam. Adding some extra days to our itinemy, we traveled south by írain to Gouda and then boarded a bus to continue our journey to Stolwijk. We were enthraüed by Amsterdam, bui captivated by the rural area in which we then moved. The omnipresent canals, tidy and neat homes and fms,the fine animals, and a few old style windrnills create a wonderful feeling. The peo- ple are sturddy handsome, fiiendly, and helpfid. Many in Amsterdam speak English, but not so many do in Stolwijk. Nevertheless, we were able to make contact with a family there named Koohvijk For more than a year, they íried

This year, we contacted a genealogist who lives in Amsterdam. A professional writer, he has been a writer in residente at au American university. He found a published genealogy of the Koofwijk f8mily2 and furnished us copies of pertinent pages. He explained the naming patterns that prevailed in Holiaud at the time of our study, and made numerous trips for us to the national archives in The Hague aud other record repositories. He also was our translator. Mauy but not ail of the Dutch people's vital records are intact. They have suffered fires and wars with their disruptions. If a famúy did not go to the same church regula*, some of their records wili not be found. One great advautage for us was tIiat the fdyname was extremely localized and the number of households very srnail for 1750-1800, our period of interest. The researcher detded there were no more than five heads of households at the time of our U'i'e~esseenWiiiem. 1.this period, the naming prdure was very strict. The first son was named for his paternal graudfather aud if that son died young, a later son ddreceive the same Christian name. 0th- children received other fdynames. The rniádle name was a patronymic of the father's name. The sufñx "sz." means "son 05" and "dr." and "se" mean "daughter o£" We were therefore looking for the head of a family in the proper time Mewith the miádle name 'Wiiiemsze" meaning "son of Wiiiem." Of the names available, there was only one such person. He was Jan Wiiiemsze Koolwijk who manied GeerhPi Pieterse Verkaijk (Verkaich etc.) in Stolwijk on 27 Jul 1770. This couple's eldest son, Wiiiem Kooiwijh was cbristened at Stolwijk Kerk on 16 Nov 1777. He was too old to be the one we were looking for aud records at The Hague showed he died 13 Mar 1779. A second son, Pieter, was bom 8 Aug 1776 while his brother Wiiiem was siiU livhg. Three daughters, Marrigje, Gerrigje, aud Corneiia, were bom before 2 Nov 1792 when their second son to be named Wiiiem was bom. He was the last known child of his 40-year old mother and the one who carne to America The KooMjk family genealogy in The Netherlands records a patemai aunt of our Wiiiem. She was Aagie Wiiiemsdr Koohvijk, christened in Stolwijk 6 Feb 1724 aud the sister of Jan Wiiiemsze Koolwijk The graudfather whose name Jan bore was Wiiiem Jansz Koohvijk The known patemai line continua fiom him for three more generations. Some maternal hes have an additional four generations to the early 1500s. The word "KIwartierstaat" in the title of the famiiy genealogy has been translated roughly as "quarterings" aud gives paternat and matemal names for each generation ifknown. The generations beginning with the parents of Jan Wiiiemsze Koohvijk are: 1. Kdwijb, Willem Jansz: baptized 12 Nov 1702 in Stolwijk; manied 19 Jan 1723 in Bergambacht to Manigje Ariensdr. Van Dijk (alsovan Dijcketc.), daughter of Ane Thonisz. Van Dijck of Bergambach who was mentioned 1677-1694. She was baptized 24 Jan 1694 in Bergambacht; buried 24 May 1750 in Stolwijk. 2. Koolwijk, Jan Corneiisz: rnarried 12 Apr 1699 in Stolwijk to Anaantje Cornelisdr. Loore, who was baptized 6 Apr 1678 at Ammerstol and was daughter of Corneiis Jansz. Loore (mentioned in 1627) and Mamche Jansdr. who lived on Steenplaats by Bergambacht and are in 1730 death tax records. Jan and Ariaantje are listed as church mernbers in 1699, 171 1. He was buried at Stolwijk 12 Feb 1723, and she died aRer 1736. 3. [Koolwijk], Cornelia Jansz of Stoljwijlk: Lived in Schoonouwen by Vliet; betrothed 13 Apr 1669 to Marike Winemsdr. of Koolwijk, young unmanied daughter of Willem Huiberb; of Stolwijk and wife Annetje Gosendr. of ~ergambacht.~ 4. Jan, father of Comeiis Jansz, III, known only through his son's patronymic. The villages md towns of Koolwijk, Stolwijk, Berkenwoude, Bergambacht, Schoonhoven, and Vliet aU figure in the early history of the Koohvijk and related familia. The kirk for this area was at Stolwijk. l[t was in excellent condition in 1997 on the outside, but we were unable to íind auy one to admit us inside. These are probably ail the Dutch aucestors who cm be found for Koolwijk research, being complicated by the non-use of sumtmies. For us, it has been a great adventure ... aud continua to be as we are now makuig a firther effort to expaud the matemai hesof Verkaijk, Van Dijck, and Loore. i

Page 43 - THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE/ANEARCHIN' NEWS - Wnter 2000 Despite the much smaller populations in West Tennessee in the 1820s, the wheels of justice sometimes tmed as slowly then as they do today. Cases in the circuit courts almost always lasted a year or more, and some as many as ten, according to Charles A. Sherrill, genealogist, author, and head of the Brentwood, Tenn., library who recently presented a seminar-workshop for TGS members and guests. During a workshop on using original court records, Sherrill presented developments in a case that stretched out over three years in the Madison Co., Tenn., Circuit Court. During that time, the defendants -- a mamed man and a single woman -- were indicted, convicted by one jury, aud then given a new trial. When a second jury was unable to agree on a verdict, the two defendants were freed of any further court proceedings. Eight entries, which Sherrill took from Madison Circuit Court Minute Book 1, reflect devel- opments in the case. The original spelling and punctuation in the court rninutes are retained, and foot- notes containing Sherrill's definitions of some of the legal terms have been added. 22 October 1822: "The grand jury this day returned into court a presentmentl against Patrick M. DufSr, married man, and Chruiotte Spain, Single woman for iiving in adultery. It is ordered by the court here that caw2 issue retumable &c.3 Court adjoumed una tomorrow moming nine oclock." 23 October 1822: "The Grand Jury this day retumed the foUowing bis of Indictment, towit, In Indictment against James Martin for Malic- ious mischief, endmJames Greer foreman of the Grand Jury, and a presentment for open & notonous lewdness against Pat- rick M.

In some pointers about researchmg court cases, Sherrill explained that civil law cases are suits be- tween private parties and involve such matters as unpaid debts, divorces, etc. Criminal cases are those charged by the sheriff for a legal offense and are styled "The State vs. (name of defendant)." The court clerk kept the docket book which lists the cases with the complaints, the defendant, answers, etc. Court minute books are indexed with page numbers relating to complaints or specific cases The name of ihe victim in an indictment is not indexed. Criminal court minutes should be examined to find the name of a person indicted for a particular crime. Equity cases, which involve charges of unfair treatment in rnatters like estate disputes, land boundaries, business divisions, and some divorces involving property, usually contain a lot of informa- tion. The bill of complaint or original bill is where the plaintiff lays it al1 out for the judge, describing the wrongs which he alleges have been done to him. The defendant's "replication" or answer to the bill of complaint gets to the salient pints faster than the bill of complaint. Where there is more than one defend- ant, separate answers sometimes are filed. In some instances, a defendant might file a cross-bill suing the complainant, or a complainant (or plaintiff) may file a "bill of exception" in response to the defendant's answer. The court issues two kinds of subpenas: (1) requiring a person to appear or answer a complaint or charge, md (2) one requiring a person to testify as a witness. By checking witness subpenas, you can obtain a list of persons brought in to testify and their addresses. Injunctions are issued in some cases. These are court orders that prohibit a defendant fiom taking a certain action. A plaintiff seeking such an order is usually required to file an injunction bond, which is his or her guarantee to pay darnages if the injunction has created m unfair situation. Another bond required of a plaintiff is a prosecution bond which serves as a guarantee to pay damages if the defendant is proved innocent. This is the very last document in the case file, Sherriii said, and is a clue that the case is being appealed. If a court decree is not in a case file, check the minute book. During the morning session, Sherriii discussed ways to fmd genealogical treasures in manuscript col- lections housed in state archives, universities, and public and private libraríes. He recommended looking first at the wllection's "Calendar," which lists every item in the wllection and gives its number, and then asking for the items by nurnber, not by the surname of the person you're researching. Other tips: (1) look in the papers of important people, especially if they lived in the areas where your ancestors did; and (2) look not only for surnames but also for localities. Sherrill concluded with a detailed discussion of military pension records, telling how they evolved over the years and suggesting sources for obtaining individual records.i

For the next three years, he served Mount Pleasant Circuit, and then successively worked in Franklin Circuit, Florence and Tuscurnbia, Ala., Decatur, Ala., Pulaski, Tem., and Chickasaw Circuit. In 1848 he took a supernumerary relation, and so continued till his death. Following a short illness, he died in February, 1859, in his 71st year.

JOSEPH WILLIS: Bom 7 Jan 1816, he was licensed to preach 19 Sept 1836 and was appointed to Cypress Circuit in 1837. Over the next 23 years, he served in sumion in Centreville, Chickasaw, White's Creeiq Madison, Limestone, Sumuer, Nashville Mcan Mission, Mil1 Creeiq Lebanon, Union, Red River, Asbury, Goose Creeiq Smith's Fork, Lebanon, Dickson, and Sycamore, where he died 19 Sept 1859.

BENJAMIN J. WOODWARD, M .D.: A native of Surnner Co., Tenn., he was trained fiom his tenderest years to attend class meetings of the Methodist Episcopal Church where his father was a class-leader. When Benjamin was about eight years old, his father died and his mother mmmied. Benjamin's stepfather treated him crueliy, and finally drove him fiom home when he was less than 10 years old and forbade him to retuni. From that time he had to depend upon his own efforts for his support and education. He was heard to say that the severest triai comected with it all was that he was not dowed to visit his mother. The only time he saw her was on her deathbed when he slipped into her room to see and obtain her 1st blessing. Her parting words, "Benny, be a good boy and meet me in heaveq" carne to him ofien when temptation would have led him astray, and saved him fiom sin. He worked at manual labor to earn the money with which to begin his education. His means exhausted, he taught a while. He thus aitemated until he completed his education and graduated to the practice of medicine. In that profession he is said to have been very successful and usefiil. About 1839 he professed religion at a camp-meeting in Noxubee Co., Miss., and in 1841 was mhed to an inteiiigent, amiable lady who had but recently joined the church. JMEídent, retiring, and un- assuming, he felt the cal1 to preach a few months after his conversion but resisted it for neariy 12 years. Fiyin 1852, he was licensed to preach and that December was admitted on tnai at the Jackson, Miss., Conference and appointed to Carthage Cucuit and later Attala Circuit. At the conference in Jackson, Tem., in Nov 1854, he was received into full comection and ordained a deacon by Bishop Eariy. In 1855, whiíe on Grand Gulf Circuit, he was atnicted with a chronic kidney disease and that fdl was granted a supernumerary relation and appointed to Holmes Circuit. The following year he was ordained an elder by Bishop Pierce, and appointed agent of Sharon Fernale Coliege. After two weeks' se~ce,bis disease worsened and in Nov 1857 was placed on the superannuated list. He died on the second Saóbath of De. 1857 at age 46. 8

It was February 1862 and for many long-time residents of Nashville, it was a time of homelessness. With the faof Fort Donelson and the decision of Confederate comrnanders to evacuate Nashville without a fighf panic-stricken residents fled the city by any means available. Neither public nor private property was safe, and many of the refúgees who later straggied back to the city found their homes had been bken over by federal forces. Among those whose homes had been seized was Ann Lucke (Perguson) Brooks, JOHNSON one of the Nashville women who worked voluntarily in the Confedera hospitals that had been set up in the city. In desperation, she sought an audience with Andrew Johnson, the East Tennesseean whom President Lincoln had appointed mi1ittu-y governor of the state on 3 Mar 1862.' When she met with him and asked that her home be given back to her, Johnson looked incredulous. "Don't you have faiis sons in the Confederate Army?,, he asked. "Yes, 1 do, "Ann said proudly, "and this one --" she pointed to the 13-year old boy at her side2 - "will go as soon as he is old enough." Ann's forthrightness may have cost her the return of her home - but &e stuck to her principies and had the satisfaction of ''teiüng it like it was." Twicewidowed and the mother of seven children -- two of whom had died young -- she hací weathered some major difficulties in her 56 years. Bom in Iredale Co., N. C., ca. 1807, she had moved to Tennessee with her parents, James and Elizabeth (Fleming) Ferguson4 while a young girl.5The famiy settled at Chape1 Hill in Marshall County, and on 24 Dec 1834 in Maury County, Ann married Thomas B. Kenle~.~Little is known about her husband other than he was charged with contempt of court in Maury County on 18 Dec 1835,7 and reportedly was killed in a duel on the streets of ColumbiaSabout six months later. AM was lefi with a baby son, John Thomas Ke~ley.~ On 19 Apr 1837 in Nashviile, AM rnatried Christopher BrooksY1Oa 62-year old widower. 1 '

Page 48 - THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGlCAL MAGAUNE/ANSEARCHIN' NEWS - Wier 2000 J. T.'s regiment was among the Tennessee troops that trained at Camp Trousdale in neighboring Sumner County near the dageof Richland Stati~n.~' While he was in training there, AM and her neighbor, Mrs. Susan Mord, visited the camp and were distressed to find that a large nutnber of "the boys" had come down with the measles and other diseases associated with camp life. They decided it was their duty to care for the soldiers and provide as much comfort as possible. Col. Battle placed a tent at their disposal, and that was the beginning of AM's four-year, wartime service as a nurse. When the 20th Tennessee lefi Camp Trousdaíe, AM volunteered her seMces to the various Nashville Confederate hospitals that were fílled with the sick and wounded Grom Bowling Green, and Camps Trousdale and Cheatham.22 She and some of her slaves who were working with her stayed on duty day and night at the old building that was formerly the State Hospital for the Insane until shortly afta federal troops took over the city. AM then made her headquarters with her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Fleming, and son-in-law, Dr. Samoel Fleming, in Williamson County until the Tennessee army returned to the Nashville vicinity in the fdof 1862. Because of her acquaintance with some of the top federal authorities in Nashville, AM was aliowed to move Greely in and out of the city and thus was able to give valuable assistance to the Confederate army by smugglhg quautities of morphine, quinine, and other medical and hospital supplies through the lines. In late 1862, she resumed nursing and cariug for the sick and wounded soldiers. While the battle of Murfreesboro was raging (31 Dec 1862 - 2 Jan 1863), .&e is said to have worked at the base hospital Grom Wednesday morning until Saturday night, assisting at operations, bandaging, and dressing wounds. Two of her sons, J. T. and Miton, were in the battle at Mudkeesboro and both were injured 2 Jan when their units carne under heavy fire at Stones River. Milton suffered an arm inj~ry,~~and J. T. was severely wounded in the thigh.24 After Murkesboro, AM worked in hospitals at Chattanooga, Atlauta, Grifñ~,Ga, and other towns. It appeared that "no distance was too great, no íransportation methods too difñcult or unpleasant, and no weather tao hot or cold for her to go wherever she could to be of service to the Confederate soldier~."~* In 1864 Ann received the sad news that hason J. T. had been injured 26th September in a collision of train cars at Dalton, Ga, and died the following day.26 When the war was over, AM went back to Nashville where her home apparently had been returned to her. On 16 June 1873 in the 66th year of her age, she died there of cholera and was buried in the Old City Cemetery. To the list of heroic nurses like Dorothea Dk Clara Barton, and others who administered to the Union soldiers should be added their counterparts in the South - unsung heroines like heLoclce Ferguson Brooks whose service and sacrifices were equally great.m
