OVER THE EDITOR'S DESK

I don't believe I ever have met an amateur genealogist who wasn't happy to help another searcher by sharing information and experiences, particularly if they're working in the same area. And no matter how long we've been in the "game", we can always benefit from information about newly uncovered material or newly formed services and organizations.

I recently participated in a genealogical workshop and remarked that I have trouble sorting out people of the same surname in northeast North Carolina. At the end of the session, a lady came to me with a brochure from a group that may not be new, but was unknown to me. I appreciate her kindness, and I will pass along to you the information which may be of use to other subscribers.

Albemarle Antiquities, 208 Hwy fiB North, 1;.Jindsor, NC 27983 says "May we be of Service? It is often impossible to spend enough time here to do the necessary research to establish your family history. We have worked for more than 10 years in assisting people from allover America in their research on Bertie [Bertie Co NC}. Many have shared their data with us and added to the files of knowledge that exists on many families ...We have large amounts of original documents in our files dating 1780-1880, bearing signatures and dates. Our personal knowledge of the land, land history, maps and old homes often allows us to point out your place of origin." They offer research services in local sources and in census records. A preliminary survey of available information is free, and rates, based on actual hours expended (within pre-agreed limits), make the average investigation and report cost between $25.00 and $50.00. Although no mention is made of it in the brochure, I'm sure they will appreciate your SASE on a long envelope when you write them for a survey.

Another researcher has furnished me with articles on the importance of gene­ alogy in some medical histories. In September of 1991, the University of California at Berkeley stated in its Wellness Letter:

"One of the best presents you can give your children is a record of your family's medical tree. It should include the age at death and cause of death (as well as other medical problems) of your parents and siblings. Data on your grandparents may be helpful, but harder to uncover ...You may be able to get medical records from family members' doctors or from the hospitals where relatives died; the state health department can provide a copy of death certificates. Besides cancers, heart disease, and diabetes, you'll want to list high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, anemia, miscarriages, arthritis, epilepsy, osteoporosis, peptic ulcer, mental illness, and other major disorders that appear to "run in families."

This spring, The Wall Street Journal added glaucoma to that list, saying:

"Dr. Stone credited the discovery of the first glaucoma gene to a young man who walked into the University of Iowa clinic five years ago with a genealogy of his family for five generations drawn out on a yellow legal pad. The family has been haunted by an unusual type of glaucoma in which the eye disorder developed at an early age, usually by the early 20s ... "

So ... the next time someone belittles your genealogical efforts, just say to them, "It's the healthful thing to do." Sununer 1993 51

THOMAS ASHCRAFT OF DECATUR COUNTY TENNESSEE - Contributed by Allen W. Whittemore 2015 Parkside Circle S, Boca Raton, FL 33486

Excerpts from a letter dated 18 June 1849, from Thomas Ashcraft to his nephew, Benjamin C. Ashcraft, are given here. Thomas announced his recent marriage to a widow, Mrs. Jane McCALL. He says her children are mostly grown except one daughter about fourteen who soon might come to live with them. His own children and grandchildren were all well when he last heard from them; "they are all scattered off at a considerable distance," except the youngest, Sally, who lives with her hus­ band in Decaturville, Tennessee. She is married to Samuel YARBRO who runs a store in Decaturville. Ashcraft states that cholera had been bad along the Tennessee River and in some of the towns. Ashcraft requests Benjamin to write of the health and concerns of his (Thomas') brothers and their families. Bad weather had ruined much of the crops around his place and he was selling what corn he harvested for $1.50 per barrel on credit, or $1.25 cash. He was only able to cut half the wheat crop he planted. He also wanted to know if the gold mine, which the nephew had written about, and which was found on a place Ashcraft formerly owned, had been productive.

Another letter is addressed, "Thomas Ashcraft Esq., Beech River, Decatur County formerly Perry County, Tennessee." Inside it reads: "Register's office, Pontotoc, Mis(sissippi) I Andrew J. EDMONDSON, Register of said Office, do hereby certify that on the 22d February 1839 Thomas Ashcraft purchased of the Register of said office the North East quarter of Section No Ten of Six Range Nine East and on the 9 April 1842 a patent issued to him for the same as appears from the books of this office. Given under my hand this 16 April 1846. Andr J. Edmondson, Register"

Thomas Ashcraft, born 2 Jan 1786 of Scotch parentage, married Temperance LUTON (LUTUR) the sister of Lemuel Luton of Perry Co., TN. She was born 3 March 1787; they lived in Decatur Co., where he was a well-to-do planter with a number of slaves. Temperance L. Ashcraft died 3 Aug 1846, and he later married Mrs. Jane McCall. Thomas died 22 Sept 1858, leaving an estate valued at a little less than $30,000. His son-in-law, John WEST, was executor. The children and grandchildren of Thomas Ashcraft and Temperance Luton were: Joel Ashcraft married Children: Henry; John married Frances McMURRAY. Mahala Ashcraft married Richard RUSHING. Children: Alfred; Harris; Mary Temperance married John T. HEGGIE; Mahala married HEGGIE; and Jane married BUTTS. Caswell Ashcraft (1816-1876) married Lucinda KELLEY. Their children: Ella and Emma (twins); Eugenia married BARHAM; Thomas Elisha; Lawson; Martha married Max MORRIS; Virginia married OMOHUNDRO; Georgia married R. A. SISLER; and Ashcraft married J. E. STOKES. Martha Frances Ashcraft married John West. Their children: Adeline Mahala married A. S. SAYLE; Mary Ophelia married George A. PEARCE. Thomas Henry married (1) Florence TERRY (2) Virginia HODGES; Helen Eugenia married George A. Pearce; Laura Weldon married J. N. STEGALL; Luella Temperance married Edwin M. GARDNER; Emma Irene married Oscar E. SMITH; and Clara Bell West. Sally Ashcraft married Samuel YARBOROUGH. A daughter, Laura, married __ JONES; they had twins Emma and Ada Jones.

McDERMOTT TOMBSTONE FOUND IN VICKSBURG - Submitted by Mrs. Eudora E. Hill P. O. Box 1, Delta, La 71233-0001

"The following is the inscription on the remainder of the stone I found broken and in a stump hole near 'Soldier's Rest' in City Cemetery, Vicksburg, MS.

SEIZURE OF SOUTHERN CITIZENS DURING CIVIL WAR - Submitted by Dan M. Haire 2982 Camden, Memphis, TN 38118-3415

In his book on Johnson's Island, Ohio, Roger LONG sought information concern­ ing Dr. Samuel GHORMLEY (GORMLY). During the fall of 1863, Congress had dispensed with habeus corpus. Citizens could be seized for any action if deemed against the interest of the Union. Dr. Samuel Ghormley of Blount Co, TN was captured 12 Oct 1863, and transported to Johnson's Island Prison on 24 Dec 1863. It has been inferred that Ghormley was held as a "hostage" against Union sympathizers arrested in the South. Several East Tennesseans were held at Johnson's Island. After their arrest they had to walk from Knoxville, TN to Louisville, KY where they went by train to Sandusky, OH. The long, treacherous trek contributed substantially to their weakness and disease which led to their deaths. According to the Death Register at the National Archives, Saml Gormly died 9 January 1865 and was buried on the Island. The present day grave numbers were not assigned until long after the war. When the War Department made a list and assigned the grave numbers, the name was changed to Ghormley, Saml. Other southerners held on Johnson's Island were a CORBIN and a McGRAW from Kentucky, both hanged. Another civilian from Kentucky, Tom CAMPBELL, was held 18 months in chains. Several Ghormleys were listed as serving from Tennessee in the Civil War: D. C., Dewitt C.(Samuel's brother), Lorenzo, Pleasant N. B. (Samuel's uncle), Samuel, William G., and William H. The chief doctor at the prison was D. I. G. W. STEEDHAM of the 1st Alabama, and Dr. Ghormley served as his assistant.

LAWRENCE - CONNELL - ELY CONNECTIONS - Compiled from the Ruth Wyckoff HUNT Papers housed at the Tennessee Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 111249, Memphis, TN 38111-1249, and from Shelby County Probate Records at Memphis/Shelby County, Tennessee Archives, 33 S. Front St., Memphis, TN 38103.

The Lawrence family was one of Memphis' earliest pioneer families, and Bible photocopies, found amoung Mrs. Hunt's papers, reveal several generations who lived in Shelby County. One Bible, published by Holbrook and Fessenden of Brattleborough, VT in 1828, appears to have been the property of James H. Lawrence. On the flyleaf opposite his name someone has written: "Mr. James H. Lawrence, Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Lawrence Connell, Mrs. Forrest Lee Connell Ely, Mrs. M(yr)tle Lawrence BELL. 1931." These are Lawrence descendants through female lines. Summer 1993 53

Family Gatherings (continued)

Under the heading "Marriages" is found, "James H. LAWRENCE and Maria R. BROWN Maried June 10, 1824 Shelby County, Tennessee." Another hand wrote, Maria Reed Brown. The Lawrence record continues with their four children: Ann Elizabeth Lawrence, born 24 June 1825, a son (stillborn) 13 June 1827, Maria Louisa Lawrence, born 14 Aug 1828, and James H. Lawrence (Jr) born 8 June 1834 Memphis, TN. Mr. Lawrence, Sr. died 13 Dec 1845, and his daughter, Maria Louisa, died 7 Apr 1856. His widow, Maria R. Lawrence, lived until 25 Jan 1860 at her horne on the corner of 3rd and Exchange Streets. Probate records (1873, #2 H.D. CONNELL) show that her estate was divided between her two surviving children, Ann E. Connell and James H. Lawrence (Jr). Ann's portion included the horne place and slaves Caroline, Leanner & Sarah. James' part included an adjoining lot and house and slaves Mary Jane & Lewis. The Lawrence Bible also includes the second generation - the Connell family and the James H. Lawrence (Jr) family. It shows that Hiram Davis Connell & Ann E. Lawrence married 21 Aug 1848 in Memphis. Their children were Maria Lou Connell, born 8 Sep 1850; Frank William Connell, born 5 Oct 1853; Anna Rossen Connell, born 16 Jan 1857; James Hiram Connell and Evie Radford Connell, twins born 24 May 1861; Forrest Lee Connell born 1 Mar 1864. Ann E. Lawrence Connell's brother, James H. Lawrence (Jr) married Ann E. WEAR on 5 Dec 1866 in Camden, AL. Their children were: William Radford Lawrence, born 6 Jan 1868 at the horne on 3rd & Exchange, and James Calvin Lawrence born 28 Mar 1869 at the same place. Nine years later, 1878, James H. Lawrence (Jr) died in the yellow fever epidemic. The third generation revealed in the Lawrence Bible - the grandchildren - begin with the Connell's oldest daughter, Maria Lou who was married to E. B. ELY at the horne on 3rd and Exchange Streets, by the Rev. J.D. STEADMAN at 2:00 p.m. on 21 Aug 1867 "& left for Clarksville, Tenn." More information on the Ely family is given in the second set of Bible photocopies in the HUNT papers - the Edward Baker Ely bible. The Connell's oldest son, Frank Connell, married Alice P. MOOR at her father's horne by Rev. D. WALK in 1875 "on the 27th inst." The month is not given. The Connell's second daughter, Anna Rossen Connell, married Mr. E. MARSHALL at her mother's horne in 1875 "on the 16th inst. by Rev. E. DANIEL" (month not given). A daughter Alice Flippin Marshall was born and died 1876. There is no further mention of the Connell twins, but Forrest Lee married her brother-in-law, E.B. Ely, on 3 Oct 1887. Because of the inter-relation of the families, the Ely bible provides a few dates that are missing from the Lawrence bible. Hiram Davis Connell died on 14 Sep 1873 and Frank W. Connell died 17 Nov 1879. Anna Rossen Marshall died 1 Apr 1890. The Ely bible gives details on the complex relationship of this family. Born 12 Feb 1842, E.B. Ely married first, Maria L. Connell 21 Aug 1867. Their first child Connell Ely was born 24 Nov 1868 and died the next day. Their son Eddie L. Ely was born 5 Mar 1870; Huelin L. Ely was born 20 Dec 1871; Jesse Loring Ely was born 18 Nov 1873; Douglas Baker Ely was born 17 Jan 1876 and died 19 Oct 1878; Clarence Wharton Ely was born 23 Feb 1879; Warren Connell Ely was born 13 Dec 1882; Laura Lee Ely was born 3 Apr 1885. Maria Lou Connell Ely died 25 Dec 1886, and on 3 Oct 1887, E.B. Ely married her sister Forrest Lee Connell. Two daughters were born to this union: Effie Ely, born 19 Jan 1891 and Myrtle Lawrence Ely on 28 Mar 1896. There is one relationship which is not explained: "Mrs. Charlotte Ely was born on 28 Mar 1809 and died 17 Aug 1875, age 66 yrs, 5 mos, & 19 days. 54 "Ansearchin'" News

THE LAWRENCE SON-IN-LAW, HIRAM DAVIS CONNELL - Compiled from Shelby County, TN Probate Records, (1873, #2 H.D. Connell) Memphis/Shelby Co. Archives, 33 S. Front St. Memphis, TN 38103.

H.D. Connell, who married Ann E. Lawrence, left his family records, as well as his own argument with the post-Civil War government, in the probate records of Shelby County, TN. Family data given on one page reveals these facts:

John Connell, Sr. born 20 Jan 1783, married on 21 Nov 1802, Francis JAMES born 13 May 1785. Their children were: Richard born 7 Oct 1803 Elizabeth born 3 Jan 1805 Giles born 7 Jan 1807 William born 17 Oct 1808 Mary born 22 Sep 1810 John born 18 Feb 1812 Nancy born 2 Sep 1814 Sampson born 16 Apr 1817 Sally born 3 Sep 1819 Hiram Davis born 30 Oct 1821 Francis White born 28 July 1825 This list is endorsed "Memphis, Tenn. Decr 1840," by H.D. Connell - An addi­ tional note says that William Connell & Louisa E. WHITE married 15 July 1841 and that Louisa was born 30 Sep 1823. Fredrick Gayoso Connell was born 4 Jun 1842, Sam F. Connell was born 19 Sep 1843. (written in, then lined out) "W & Lewesa seperated Nov 28th 1844" John Connell died 12 Jan 1853 aged 69 yrs, 11 mas, 22 days. It was after the Civil War that Hiram D. Connell began his struggle with the U.S. Government. In 1867 he wrote the Quartermaster General's office in Wash­ ington, D.C. concerning his claim against the Federal Troops. He received a letter 4 Mar 1868 from James A. KERR, Deputy Quartermaster Genl, Brevet Brig. Genl, U.S.A. asking for more information on his claim. Connell's reply dated 12 Mar 1868 said that Col. Peter J. SULLIVAN filed 21 Apr 1865 for real estate and improvements thereon, situated in Ft. Pickering, Tenn. "the same having been taken and appropriated by the United States for the public use, as a Military Necessity in building said Fort". H.D. Connell died in 1873, but his heirs were still trying to collect on the property in 1888. He did leave a will in which he left his wife in charge of the estate, but directed that she seek the advice of his son-in-law, E.B. ELY. "Our eldest daughter Maria Lou being Educated & Married...my other five children I desire shall receive a like education...my niece Eliza H. HUNT who is to remain a member of my family du.e.ing life." He suggests that his wife, Ann E., "consult with my brother William, his son Fred G. and her brother Jas. H. Laurence."

TENNESSEANS LIVING IN RIPLEY COUNTY, MISSOURI IN 1850 AND 1860 By Jerry Ponder, He 1, Box 713, Fairdealing, MO 63939

The majority of the population of Ripley County, Missouri moved there from Tennessee, mainly from Hickman and Perry Counties, but settlers came from every part of the state. By 1850, of the approximate 500 taxpayers and heads-of-household, 207 had been born in Tennessee. Not counted in those figures were the many people who moved to Tennessee earlier and then migrated on to Ripley County. There were 449 census households in Ripley County in 1850, of which 271, or about 60%, contained at least one member born in Tennessee.

In 1850 Ripley County covered all of what is now Ripley and Carter Counties, but by 1860 Ripley County was practically as seen today. The following list has been compiled from tax lists and census records to show taxpayers and heads-of-household born in Tennessee, living in Ripley County. Since over 90% of Ripley County fought for the South in the Civil War, further mention of most can be found in Confederate records for the 9th Missouri Infantry Regiment, the 12th Missouri Infantry Regiment, or the 15th Missouri Cavalry Regiment, all regiments predominately recruited in Ripley County, Missouri.

DEKALB COUNTY, TENNESSEE 1839 TAX LIST Transcribed by Ausborn C. Tatum from Tennessee State Library and Archives Microfilm, Tax Lists Roll No. 3

A resolution was adopted by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee on 11 Dec 1835 which provided for laying off the existing counties within the state into "Districts of Convenient Size, within which Justices of the Peace and Constables shall be Elected." Commissioners were appointed to set the boundaries of each District and to submit a written description of the metes and bounds, as well as a map drawn to scale, to the Tennessee Secretary of State. DeKalb County was formed in 1837, principally from Warren and Smith, and has had boundary exchanges over the years with its neighbors. Organization of the county was accomplished on 5 Mar 1838 when the appointed justices met to set the wheels of government in motion. The tax list of 1839 includes the names of many of those first settlers, but the description of the district boundaries and the map of that first survey is not available from the State Archives.

BOOK REVIEWS

CRITTENDEN COUNTY, KENTUCKY BIRTHS, DEATHS, ETC, VOL II, compiled by Brenda Joyce Jerome. 1993. Hard back, 8xll. Full name index, 118 pp. Order from compiler, 300 West Water St., Newburgh, IN 47630. $25.00 ($21.00 Soft back).

Mrs. Jerome begins this collection with marriage records of 1852-1859 in which the ages and birthplaces of brides and grooms are noted. Because at that time, Crittenden County was only ten years old, all principals had been born in another county, many from Tennessee and North Carolina. A number of Hardin County. IL marriage records with Crittenden County connections are included, however all Hardin County marriage records prior to 1884 have been lost to fire.

Vital statistics on hundreds of people have been collected from various Crittenden Records: Order books, Settlement Books, Circuit and County Court minutes, a Medical Register, Loose Papers, newspapers, etc. Several unrecorded wills have been transcribed.

The book concludes with Mortality schedules for 1860, 1870 and 1880. Piney District does not appear on the microfilm of Crittenden County's 1880 Federal Census, therefore all families mentioned on the Mortality Schedule for that district are missing from the census.

CWES FOR REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIERS WITH CONNECTIONS TO LOUISVILLE AND JEFFERSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, compiled by Ann York Franklin. 1990. Soft back, 8xll. Full name index, 223 pp. Order from the compiler, 1820 Knollwood Road, Louisville, Ky 40207. $20.00.

This book consists of 205 one-page biographies, with cited sources, which are intended to serve as a starting point for research on Revolutionary War soldiers who lived or died in Louisville and Jefferson County, Kentucky. As many as twelve secondary sources are given, although the average number seems to be five or six. Three major sources served as springboards: Burns' Abs tracts of Pensi on papers, Quisenberry's Reyol uti onary Sol diers in Kentucky and The Fil son Club History Quarterly. Additional help carne from membership applications to NSDAR and NSSAR. A brief history of Louisville and Jefferson County is given to set the scene. Persons who have eighteenth century ancestors in this area of Kentucky will certainly welcome this wel1­ organized tool.

VIRGINIA GENEALOGY SOURCES AND RESOURCES, by Carol McGinnis. 1993. Hard back, 6x9. Indexed, 494 pp. Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 North Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202. $35.00.

Not intended as a "how-to" guide, the focus of this book is on the types of records available to persons researching their Virginia ancestors. After giving a concise review of Virginia's land, people and history, the author discusses immigration and alternative sources for vital records. One chapter details the various nationalities of people who carne to the colony; another is devoted to African-American Research. But the main body of the book is based on replies to surveys mailed to county and city clerks, librarians and historical and genealogical society members. In this section one may find the county's vital statistics, dates of records and restrictions, if any, on their use; whether written requests will be accepted and the price of photo-copies. Virginia's unique city-county separation system is explained, followed by a resume' of the records of the independent cities. After detailed notations of the collections available in each city and county, a bibliography of 125 pages lists published works which were used by the compilers. For serious researchers of Virginia, this source-book seems essential.

ABSTRACTS OF TENNESSEE DEATH RECORDS FOR CARTER COUNTY, TENNESSEE, 1908-1925, compiled by Eddie M. Nikazy. 1992. Soft back, 5x8. Full name index, 481 pp. Order from Heritage Books, Inc., 1560 E. Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, MD 20716. $32.50 plus $3.00 p&h.

Death records were not required by law for Tennessee Counties until 1914, therefore Carter County, with records of 1908, is most fortunate. Although the date seems relatively recent for genealogists, it must be remembered that elderly persons who died at that time were living when records may have been even more scarce. "Mrs Nancy Vanhoy, age 86, years born at Henry county, VA, married...died 15 Apr 1910" tells us that she was born in 1824 and that her husband was still living in 1910. Even the infant deaths say that a family of that surname was in Carter County at the given date. By 1914 the parents of the deceased and their place of birth were given, when known, as well as the name of the informant and the place of burial. Currently, records from 1908 through 1941, with the exception of 1913, are available for public access in the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, TN. 90 "Ansearchin'" News

HARDIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS ]890-1908, VOL II, by Marion Lavender Reynolds. 1993. Soft back, 8xll. Full name index, 239 pp. Order from the author at P.O. Box 352, 10 Fairfax Dr., Harrisburg, IL 62946-0352. $23.00. (IL res. add tax $1.44). Hard bound $29.00. (IL res. add tax $1.81).

Another visit to the past years of Hardin County., IL is made possible in this second volume of events taken from newspapers published in the southeast tip of the state. Daily activities in various communities in the county become more important when they fill the void left by the loss of the 1890 census. An 1876 atlas map showing towns, landowners, and landmarks is a valuable tool, as is the short county history which is included. Additional information on some families comes from an old scrapbook kept by a relative of the compiler.

THE ]860 CENSUS OF MORGAN CO AL, compiled by Albert Brown. 1993. Soft back 8xll. Indexed, 159 pp, computer printed. Order from Mr. Brown, Rt 1, Box 7, Bethel Springs, TN 38315-9701. $35.00.

Founded in 1818 from a Cherokee Cession, Morgan County is located in north central Alabama, on the Tennessee River. In 1860 its census was separated into three divisions: Southwest, North­ west and East. This book begins with the index of heads of households, their family number and the division they lived in. Persons of different surnames from the head-of-house are also indexed. The index is followed by a transcription of microfilm #M653-l9, listing the entire household, their ages, sex, occupation and place of birth.

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Wi]] Abstracts ]79]-]868, Books A-J, Tax Li st ] 797, ] 798 , ]799, ]806 & ]807, by Herman W. Ferguson and Ralph B. Ferguson. 1993. Soft back 8x1l. Full name, place and subject index. Order from Herman W. Ferguson, 600 Chad Drive, Rocky Mount, NC 27803. $30.00 (NC orders add 6% sale tax).

The first part of this book contains abstracts of 1,267 wills recorded from 1791 to 1868 in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court in Charlotte, NC and 38 unrecorded wills of the same period filed with the NC Archives in Raleigh. Mr. Ferguson says, "Perhaps the most important comment to be made ... is to urge the researcher to acquire a copy of the original document, if the will appears to be of more than passing interest." In 1980 Brent H. Holcomb published abstracts of early wills of Mecklenburg County, 1749-1790, which Mr. Ferguson listed in the appendix, giving test~tor's name, date, will book and page, as well as the page number in Mr. Holcomb's book. This brings under one cover all known wills from the beginning of the County until post Civil War time.

The second part of the book consists of tax lists for the five earliest years for which these records are virtually complete. These two record groups, wills and tax lists, supplement each other beautifully as the wills tend to reflect the more affluent persons, but the tax collec­ tors attempted to list every taxable person.

LILLARD' A FAMILY OF COLONIAL VIRGINIA, SECOND EDITION, by David Hicks Lillard, Jr. 1991. Hard back, 6x9. Vol.l 706 pp plus full name index, Vol.2 746 pp plus full name index and Appendices A & B. Order from author, P. O. Box 17627, Memphis, TN 38187. Two volume set $74.00 plus p&h.

Mr. Lillard's books are a second edition to the 1928 book of the same title by Jacques Ephraim Stout Lillard, whose work has served as the basis for all genealogical discussions in the Lillard family for the last 63 years. However, this edition has benefited from the many advances in the amount and quality of information available to genealogists today. It is well documented with footnotes and an easy-to follow numbering system. The center of each volume has many pages of photographs. A preliminary discussion of the early immigrant Lillards is followed by detailed accounts of the descendants of James born c1725, William died 1793, Thomas born c1726, Moses of North Carolina, Capt. John of Kentucky and Capt. Benjamin Lillard. The last chapter covers "Unconnected Lil1ards". Appendex A is a reprint of pages 1-39 of the 1928 edition in order to preserve the original presentation of the family tradition. Appendix B is the transcript of the Fairfax Co VA lawsuit, Seekright vs. Dreadnaught, which is discussed in Volume I, Chapter II.

REMEMBER - Your 1993 free query must be received by September 1st of 1993 to assure 1993 publication THE CERTIFICATE OF TENNESSEE ANCESTRY

Certificates are still available for people whose ancestors lived in Tennessee before 1880. Applications and information about obtaining a Certificate may be received by writing to: THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY P.O. Box 111249 Memphis, Tennessee 38111-1249 Please remember to enclose a legal-sized SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope) when you request information.

Due to the scarcity of early records in some parts of Tennessee, eligibility rules for obtaining a certificate have been revised. Now, a copy of only one document of "proof" is required for each generation to prove lineage from one generation to the next. THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY is in the process of preparing a book, using re­ cords gleaned from information received through the Certificate program. Only those applications with a signed release to publish (given on the back page of application) may be used. Notice of publication date and price will appear in The Tennessee Genealogical Magazine, "ANSEARCHIN'" NEWS. The Tennessee Genealogical Society has these publications for sale: 25 MARCH 1993
