THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Greetings:

Have you become accustomed to being THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY? We have had an auspicious start - t'was the 18th of April in '66 - another memorable day, thanks to Mr. Prentiss Price, well-known historian and genealogist from Rogersville, Tennes­ see, who spoke at our last general night meeting on "Sources for Genealogical Research in Early Tennessee Records". A veritable storehouse of fascinating facts and figures of interest to historians, as well as genealogists, Mr. Price held us spellbound dur­ ing the hour without once referring to notes, and at the close of his talk partici­ pated in a lengthy question and answer period. Later he invited the group to peruse a table full of rare and valuable genealogical documents he has accumulated and com­ piled over many years. We are indeed grateful to him for giving us his time and talents so generously. Many have expressed the hope that we can be fortunate to have him again.

We also wish to thank Kenneth Kirby for taping the talk for us. Cleo Webb and Georgia Crawford prepared delicious punch and cookies which we enjoyed while visiting with old and new friends.

One of the features of our general night meetings will be a table of genealogical and historical books and magazines for sale or exchange. Bring yours!

The February meeting with Betty Moore found a large group eagerly awaiting the junior workshop. Wilena Bejach proved such an interesting teacher, another workshop was held in March when we met with Bereniece Gordon as hostess.

{ Vice-President Bill Crawford gave factual advice, based on several research trips he and Georgia have made, on how to Ansearch' in North Carolina. How I wish I could go now and try some of his suggestions. In March, Past President Jewell Standefer reviewed CAROLINA CRADLE and brought to our attentipn so many interesting and help­ ful things in it that we had a run on the Librarian's table. You miss a real treat if you miss our 11 o'clock program hour at the day meetings.

Fast !residents Webb and Bejach'and yours truly attended an informative "Conference on Historic Preservation" at Columbia, Tennessee, in April. Here, as everywhere, history and genealogy walked hand in hand. We enjoyed seeing Mr. Jordan and other members of the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Tennessee Historical Society, APTA, Ladies Hermitage Association, the Maury County Historical Society (girls who have done such an outstanding job with their own county history) and other friends.

A WORD OF WARNING before I close. Several of our members have received letters from a woman who sometimes gives her address as Louisiana and sometimes as Florida, offer­ ing to furnish answers to queries they have had in genealogical publications, for a fee in advance. One of our members was so anxious for the information she phoned her in Florida, only to discover that no one by that name lived at that address ••• so be careful. Reputable genealogists aren't in a big hurry to receive your money, nor would they mind giVing you proper references. Up-to-now genealogical research has been peculiarly blessed with an honest, generous group of followers as a whole. We pray no one will willfully and maliciously destroy this generous spirit.

Have a wonderful summer! Be prepared to tell us of your genealogical forays in the fall. Happy Ansearchin' ~~~~ Mrs. Laurence B. Gardiner President "Ansearchin'" News -56-

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR J S DESK

Now that we have a new name, The Tennessee Genealogical Society, we feel that we should have a design for our group that is representative of the State. During the rest of the year we are going to consider various components for this symbol and hope to adopt an official inside cover emblem by the beginning of 1967. If any of our members wish to contribute their ideas on the subject, we would b~ very glad to have them.

Correction: Our Book Review Editor is Mr. Jonathan Kennon Smith. I am completely aware of the fact that his first name is ~ Joseph. But on the front blue covers and on the book review page for first quarter, his name is shown as Joseph. I did manage to credit him correctly for the abstracts of "Tennesseans In Central Texas". Mr. Smith, please accept my apology. I am very sorry for the mistake. Our front blue covers are printed for the entire year, so that mistake cannot be undone, but I will try to use your correct name on all other pages.

Mrs. Albert S. Jarratt, 203 Woodmont Circle, Nashville, Tennessee, sent us the data for two graves located on the farm of J. Ramey Foust in District 15 of Montgomery County, Tennessee. They are:

(Continued Next Page) "Ansearchin'" News -58- BOOK REVIEWS BY JONATHAN KENNON SMITH

The Newlin Family, by Dr. Algie I. Newlin, in collaboration with Harvey Newlin, 1965, may be ordered from Dr. Newlin, Box 8345, Guilford College, Greensboro, North Carolina 27410, price $17.50.

This mammoth genealogy is quite representative of the calibre of genealogical publication that has long been advocated by the National Genealogical Society and numerous well-trained genealogists throughout the years. Not only has Dr. Newlin produced his "work of art", but he has buttressed its contents with an empirical intent. It is indeed a cleverly wrought family memoir.

This 568 page (exclusive of the appendix and extensive index) volume is well bound, illustrated reasonably, and the print is such that will not create eye­ strain in an avid reader.

The genealogy deals principally with the descendants of John and Mary Pyle Newlin of the Pennsylvania family, members of the Society of Friends. The history treatment of the earlier Newlins is saliently documented, from the medieval period tprough the seventeenth century.

Kentuckv Bible Records, Volume 4, compiled and edited by Moll~ Coyle and Anne Fitz­ gerald, 1966. Kentucky Records Research Committee, 407 Foster Street, Florence, Kentucky 41042. Price $7.50.

This well prepared and excellently indexed collection brings to mind the immense gratitude that we genealogists owe to the D.A.R., not only in a patriotic vigilance respect, but also for their many research projects.

In keeping with the best of this tradition, these two compilers have trans­ cribed the vital statistics from numerous Kentucky Bibles~ Among the repre­ sentative surnames are: Corbin, Reed, Phillips, Montgomery, etc.

ALDRIDGE RECORDS, VOLUME I, may be purchased for $10.00 from F.R. Aldridge, 139 Ewing Drive,' Nashville, Tennessee 37207. The volume contains many descendants of William Alldredge of North Carolina. The 1830, 1840, 1850 and some earlier census records of the southern states have been searched for any persons of this name (and variations in spelling.)

THE HISTORY OF THE POLLARD FAMILY OF AMERICA may be ordered from Maurice J. Pollard, 26 Walnut Street, Diver, New Hampshire 03820. The volume's price was not given. Both New England and southern Pollards are included.

JAMES McDONALD AND SARAH FERGUSON WITH THEIR PROGENITORS AND THEIR POSTERITY, was published in Salt Lake City in 1964, and may be ordered from the author, Mrs. Ila F. Maughan, 105 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. Price $15.00.

Mrs. Don Short, Route 1, Greenville, Ohio, and Mrs. Dale Bowers, Route 3, Union City, Indiana, have compiled two volumes of Ohio records. They are: PREBLE COUNTY, OHIO, ~ARRIAGE RECORDS, 1808-1830; and DARKE COUNTY, OHIO, WILLS, 1818-1900. The price of each volume is $5.00, postpaid.

In this issue of "ANSEARCHIN'" NEWS, on pages 72 and 80, there are two Civil War muster rolls which were in our inventory of material. They are "Captain Daly's Company, Partisan Rangers" and "Captain W.S. Latta's Company, Tennessee Cavalry". They have been printed without any acknowledgement to the contributor, because we do not know who sent them. We would like to thank our unknown contributor, and if you will write us, we would like to credit you in a future issue. Summer 1966 -59-

ABSTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF A StORE KEEPER IN WHITE COUNTY, TENNESSEE

This journal was obtained in Rhea County, Tennessee, by Mrs. Marian Yeary Brown of Rockwood, Tennessee, along with a ledger of Asa Newport who haq a business near the Roane County li~e between 1845 and 1858. The journal was copied for pUblication by Mrs. Ernest Hutcherson, lI.O. Box 154, Rockwood, Tennessee 37854. Due to lack of space Wl.~ were forced to omit the chronological listings of the customers, the very interesting items they purchased and the, prices paid.

Nowhere in the Journal is the firm name written as such. It appears to be the firm of Lincoln and Clark, the partners being Jesse Lincoln and Daniel Clark. At the top of every page is written "Sparta", followed by the day of the week and the date. This volurr.e covers the period December 10, 1836, through Septerr.ber, 1838. Later, in November 1856, Jesse Lincoln had an account with Asa Newport in Rhea County. Both Lincoln and Newport were dealing extensively in iron from Robert Craven's iron industry at the mouth of White's Creek in Roane County, known as Eagle 'F'urnace.

Most names appear on the accounts many times. Variations in spelling, where it is apparent that the same person is meant, are given. When there is some question as tv whether another person was meant, ~he name is listed separately. Those making purchases charged to an account, other than the account of the buyer, are listed ,a£ter the name in which the account appears. Wife and lady are probably synonymous.

A program of transcribing, indexing and publishing the 1850 census for Tennessee has been undertaken as a pilot project by the National Genealogical Society. The work will be directed and coordinated by J. Hobart Bartlett, who has accepted chairman­ ship of the specially formed Census Index Con:mittee.

Tennessee has been chosen from among all other States for this first State-wide transcribing and indexing, to be done on a county basis, because of its importance as a "passage wayil to the west during the 19th century. Other key states will be similarly transcribed and indexed as soon as possible. Eventually, the work will be done for all States and Territories for which the 1850 census records are available.

Initial notices regarding this project were published in the March issue of THE GENEM,OGIGAL HELPER (Vol. 20, No.1); in the January-March issued of "ANSEARCIN'" NEWS (Vol. 13, No.1); and the Spring 1966 issue of THE SOUTHERN GENEALOGIST'S EXCHANGE QUARTERLY (Vol. 7, No. 37)

The National Genealogical Society is a non-profit, volunteer service organization. Thus the work will be done by volunteers, who are dedicated genealogists, and each of whom will actually transcribe and index the 1850 census of at least one county in the pilot State of Tennessee.

A newly made microfilm copy of the original census record of each county will be made available to the respective volunteers. An easy-to-use, specially designed format has been established for recording the transcribed census directly from the microfilm copy. Accordingly, instructions and a sample of the transcribed 1850 census will be furnished each volunteer.

When the census transcription and its index are published, each volunteer will be given recognition for the work done and/or monetary contributions made. Each will also have the satisfaction of having made a vital record available in useful form for all future genealogists and historians.

THE FORMATION OF ~AURY COUNTY, TENNESSEE

(Reprinted from HISTORIC ~AURY, by permission of The Maury County Historical Society)

The original Maury County Historical Society was chartered in 1905. It was reacti­ vated briefly in the 1930's. The present society held its first meeting in September 1964 and began publication of a quarterly bulletin, HISTORIC ~AURYJ in 1965. A sub­ scribing membership is $3.00 per year. The Society's aim is to collect and publish all possible historical material about Haury County.

The petitions to establish Maury County were located recently by Mrs. Jack Lightfoot at the State Library and Archives. They are presented below. They may be considered as the earliest census of the county.

In 1804, Nicholas T. Perkins was one of the representatives of Williamson County in the Legislature. Williamson County was erected as a separate county in 1799, and embraced a large area. In 1807, Perkins served as State Senator from Williamson County.

Tne Indian title to what is now Maury County was extinguished by a treaty 1A1ith the Cherokees in October 1805, their north boundary line being left at Duck River. In 1806 the Cherokees gave up all claims north and east of the Elk River. Straggling white settlers had possibly come into this section, possibly - although not probably - as early as 1805. Among the papers left by Nicholas T. Perkins, aud re-discavered in 1897 at the death of his granddaughter, were four petitions from "the undersigned citizens of Duck River", constituting a memorial to the Assembly to erect a new County, dated 22 August 1807. This was most likely the first effort at organized government in this section. Three of these papers are duplicates and in the same handwriting.

The Petitions and Signers

"We whose names are undersigned being Citizens of Duck River, Represent that our bounds and number of inhabitants, respectfully intitle us and our Situation requires and urges us that we Peitio~ th~ Genl Assembly of the State of Tennessee and expect that their Political Wisdom and Justice will grant us a Separate new County, to be bounded on the West by the great road leading from Nashville to Natchez, on the East by a line run due South from a point on the South boundary line of the Orriginal County of Williamson, so as to Pass a point twenty-eight miles due East of John Gordons Ferry (on duck River) on the North as n~ar the Orriginal South boundary line of Williamson County as practicable and on the South by a line to be extended East and West at a proper distance to contain the constitutional limits of a County in order that we may enjoy the advantage arising from a Permanent seat of Justice".

"the undersigned therefore pray if a new county is laid off south of Williamson-­ the dividing ridge between Duck and Ilarpath may be made the boundary on the north side of the new County and the present Natche road Crossing at Gordon's ferry be made the western boundary of it so as to include the undersigned in the County opposite to williamson.

The Senate Journal for 1807 shows that Thursday, October 19th and Friday 30th, 1807, Mr. Perkins procured the passage through the Senate of his bill to reduce Williamson County. It was once proposed to call the town "Murray", too, but "Columbia" pre­ vailed, 13 November 1807. On this same day, the bill passed the House. The prayer of the petitioners was granted 16 November 1807 by the act "An Act to reduce William­ son County to constitutional limits and to form a new county to the South and West of the same". This act prescribes the boundaries of the new county and designates it by the name of "Maury"; appoints Joshua Williams, William Fryerson, Isaac Roberts, John Lindsey and Joseph Brown as commissioners to "fix on a place the most convenient on, or near Duck River as the nature of the case will admit of" - to layoff a town by the name of Columbia, "neither of which streets shall be less than 100 feet wide, reserving two acres as near the centre as may be, on which the courthouse, prison and stocks shall be erected". This act also provides that Maury County shall be part of Mero District, that its militia shall constitute the 27th regiment; ond ap­ points James Gidwon to run and mark the boundary line. "Be it enacted, that this act shall be in force from and after the fifteenth day of December next." (1807)

In l833, SalT.uel Davis uprooted his family from their native Virginia and started the long trek westward into Tennessee by oxen-drawn wagons. My great-grandfather, who 'Jas nine years old at the time, told of travelling almost a year, much of the time walking. No dne knows how many people made the trip with them. However, two mar­ ried daughters and their husbands, as well as some other relatives, finally settled tn Pi_nson, Madison County, Tennessee. The Samuel Davis Bible, Richmond, Virginia, 1833, evidently was a gift to the departing family from someone who was staying be­ hind. Susannah Cardwell Davis, traditionally a schoolteacher before her marriage, kept the family records until her death in 1859, and then her daughter Levinah wrote them.

John McGhee of the county then of BlOunt and now of the county of Monroe (Tenn.) and ••• Charles McClung of the county of Knox, (Tenn.) ••• the following quarter sections of land••• in Highwussee District••• (descriptions in townships, etc., entries made and certificates obtained from the state of numbers 166, 167, 168, 169, 171 each of 160 acres except one of 155 acres, all dated 11 Nov. 1820, a total of 795 acres. Much about price per acre and dOlim payment, notes for part and a $1 profit per acre.) •••Orators executed notes with Abraham Heard of McMinn County their security. (One section of land was owned jointly by John McGhee, C. McClung, John Calloway and Joseph Calloway, the note for which was endorsed on ( the back to be divided between these men.) •••all of said five pieces of land U.es joining each other at and below the Couasaga creek and on the Hiwassee River and a large proportion of the same at and within the bounds of the land claimed by John Hildebrand as a reservation which was listed and entered with the Superintendant of Cherokee affairs on the 3d day of Nov. 1818 in pursuance of the treaty of 1817 commonly called Jackson's treaty as a reservation•.• copy of which your Orator pray qlay be taken as part of this bi11. •• and that the said John Hildebrand was at the time he entered for a reservation residing upon the place claimed••. still resides upon it••. John McGhee and Charles McClung at the time they purchased .•.well knew that Hildebrand claimed •••reservation••• in right of his children by a Cherokee \<70= man ••••Hildebrand had brought an action of ejection against your Orators.•• pending in Circuit Court of Knox County••• (McGhee and McClung had taken action on the notes in County Court of McMinn County against Abraham Heard, their security.) ••• instituted and prosecuted their suits to judgment against Abraham Heard and his legal Representa­ tives he having departed this life pending said suits•••

Samuel McConnell swore to the above before Nath'l W. Williams, one of the Judges of the Courts of Law and Equity for Tennessee now presiding in the Seventh Circuit &c in the County of Roane, 9 Sept. 1823,

Answer of John McGhee filed 19 Oct. 1823•.• (Admitted that he and McClung did purchase several quarter sections, did sell to complainants, true that John Hildebrand does claim a reservation under Jackson's treaty.) •••Complainants well knew ••• of the exist= ance and nature of Hildebrand's claim.

Answer of Charles McClung filed 15 Nov. ~823 ••• (repeats much of the same) .•• thilt at the time John Hildebrand made the entry for the reservation for the use of hi~ child­ ren, he was employed by the United States as a Miller to attend the Public Mill ~nd resided on the 63 acre fraction of the land entered for a reservation.

Charles McClung swore to the above before Hugh Brown, Clerk of Second Circuit, 15 Nov. 1823.

The decree was made before the Honorable Jacob Peck, Chancellor, Chancery Court held at Kingston, 9 June 1825. The bill was ordered dismissed and the corr.plainants to pay the costs.

Note: The gist of the suit was probably lost in abstracting so many pages. McCon­ nell and Jackson were trying to get out of paying for the part of land included in the reservation of John Hildebrand, who was suing for an ejectment against them and was likely to hold his land. Any native Indian, white man with children by an Indian or in right of an Indian wife could hold a reservation in the Jackson Pur­ chase. This was a purchase from the Indians for much land in Tennessee and other states, the Hiwassee District, land on the south side of the Tennessee River, being only a small part of it. Many white per~ons ignored the Indian reservations and tried to prove them without right to them and there were cases in court for many years.
