In reviewing the reports made at our January 20 business meeting of 1968 accomplishments, I realized how much progress is being made by your organization. The librarian's report indicated that we had purchased and received 122 books. We were given for review 67 books. We subscribe to 12 quarterlies and have received 34 gift quarterlies, either entirely or in part. During the year, we placed in the CbsslttLibrary Genealogical Department 86 books and 29 quarterlies. These, of course, are available for anyone having access to the library. Due to the support received from the 800 members of the Tennessee Genealogical Society, we are able to spend some $1,000.00 each year to help accomplish the objectives of this Society. The objectives of the Society as covered in our Constitution are as follows: "For the purpose of creating and maintaining an organization and a society for the study and investigation of genealogical history and genealogical records, and for the further purpose of receiving and collecting genealogical and historical records and depositing and preserving records in libraries and archives." I am sure most all of you are familiar with the above. I feel it never hurts to be reminded of what we are attempting to accomplish through the Society. The~Udg~ias approved in the January 20 meeting calls for an expenditure of $8,471.09 during the coming year. We are at present sold out of the 1962 and 1963 issues of i1Ansearchin'." This budget provides for reprints for these two issues which will be available at a very early date. We were very fortunate to have as our speaker the last meeting Miss Mary Davant of the Cossitt Library Genealogical Department who outlined for us the most recent acqui­ sitions of books, maps, etc., that will assist in our research. It is always a pleasure to have Miss Mary with us since she always gives us very valuable information. I hope all of you are keeping the dates of August 28,29 and 30 open for our Seminar. We have obtained Mr. John I. Coddington, Bordentown, New Jersey, as one of our Seminar speakers. The members who have heard Mr. Coddington's presentation recommend him very highly to us. We are working to get the second speaker which we will announce at a later date. We are cooperating with Memphis, Tennessee, in their celebration of the Sesquicentennial of Shelby County. The June-September issue of IIAnsearchin' News" will be devoted generally to Memphis and Shelby County. We will concentrate on records of the earliest inhabitants of Shelby County and Memphis, as well as Church records, Newspaper articles land records, biographical and historical sketches dating from 1819 through 1850. We will welcome any contributions members might be able to make to this period of Shelby County history. Sincerely yours, w.Lf.!JI~1~~ President "Ansearchin' II News -2- NOTES FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Your new Editor wishes to thank all the members of The Tennessee Genealogical Society for their confidence and support. A novice in the field of editing, she is nonethe­ less interested because of lack of experience ._AJ:_el}.§l,~:l.(;'-US gene§l,J,o..g:l.$t, she has for many years been involved with the tracing of family histories, locating court records and attempting to get them into print so that all may have access to them. The challenge, therefore, to continue the high standard set by her predecessors, has been accepted with enthusiasm. We hope that our publication will provide each of you with sound d~tawhich will assist in completing your own lines. We shall continue to spread our findings over many sections of the state. Contributions of family records, cemetery records and court records are not only acceptable but a highly necessary part of the members' participation. Suggestions for improvement in the quality of data published are also welcomed. Our goal is to establish such rapport between editor and reader that the subscriber becomes impatient waiting for the next edition. With your help and your contributions, this can be achieved. Aurora C. Shaw, Editor of The Southern Genealogist's Exchange Quarterly, announces plans for the sixth Annual Workshop to be held October 17-18, 1969 in Jacksonville, Florida. For information, write S.G.E. Society, Inc., P.O. Box 2801, JacksonVille, Florida 32203. Mr. John 1. Coddington of New Jersey and Mrs. Harry Joseph Morris of Texas will be guest speakers and panel participants. Mrs. Shaw reminds her readers that the 1830 census of Tennessee has been appearing in The Southern Genealogist's Exchange Quarterly for several years. Write her for detailed information. Mr. P.W. Filby of The Maryland Historical Society, 201 West Monument Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201 sent a copy page to appear in the May issue of The Maryland Historical Society Magazine announcing arrangements with Mr. Wister Brown, President of Microsurance, Inc. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whereby all Maryland tax lists will be microfilmed and published by Rhistorical Publications, a division of that company. Because of the absence of any census records for Maryland between 1776 and 1790, the publication of the tax list of 1783, the most complete of Maryland, will prove an invaluable aid to economists, historians, genealogists and s~ciologists. The plan is to make hard cover publications of the actual tax lists which give each householder by name, the exact number of his dependents under and over age 16, the number of his slaves, the type of taxable property, and the value. An index will be included where they already exist, and there will be notes by the Society's staff concerning the nature of the document and any peculiarities or Olllissions in the odginal text. Initially the tax list for 1783 for Baltimore and Harford Counties will be issued in two volumes. Approximate prices are $30.00 a volume pre-publication, or $35.00 after June 1969. Orders and inquiries may be sent to the Librarian of Rhistoric Publications, 302 North 13th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Any organization or person holding tax lists or indexes in ~ypescript or other form are asked to communicate with the Society as quickly as possible. Mrs. Dorothy Ford Wulfeck, Genealogy Editor, the Virginia Gazette, 51 Park Ave., Naugatuck, Connecticut 06770 advises us of her library loan service system whereby nearly 175 books-genealogies, county records, local history-on Virginia.-,-Kentucky and Missouri may be rented. Send 25 cents (coin or stamps) to above address for a complete list of books available. We are grateful to have been the recipient of The Clay Family Register, published by The Clay Family Association, P.O. Box 35254, Houston, Texas 77035. Their quarterly has been placed in selected libraries having genealogical sections. The Association is now actively seeking new donee libraries.

    “YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH;” MORTUARY AND MATERIAL CULTURE PATTERNING AT THE DONELSON SLAVE CEMETERY (40DV106), DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE by Dan Sumner Allen IV A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. C. Van West, Chair Dr. Mary S. Hoffschwelle Dr. James Beeby ABSTRACT “YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH;” MORTUARY AND MATERIAL CULTURE PATTERNING AT THE DONELSON SLAVE CEMETERY (40DV106), DAVIDSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE By Dan Sumner Allen IV The Hermitage Springs Site (40DV551) was a prehistoric aboriginal aggregation site discovered in 2001 during grading for residential development in northeastern Davidson County, Tennessee. From 2004 to 2006, archaeologists relocated more than 300 prehistoric burials as well as over 400 non-mortuary features from the site. In addition to prehistoric archaeological deposits, archaeologists excavated sixty historic burials thought to be associated with a community of slaves from the western edge of the site. This thesis presents historic archaeological research on those historic African- American burials, perhaps one of the earliest, excavated slave cemeteries in the Cumberland Region. By developing an environmental and historical context for the cemetery, combined with an analysis of its mortuary and material culture patterns, the author identified general patterns and date ranges for the burials, thus shedding new light on burial practices afforded marginalized slave populations in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Tennessee. The author compared the archaeological data to other professional excavation projects in the region.

    Archaeological and Historical Investigations of Site 41AS95, a Mid-Nineteenth-Century Salt Works on St. Charles Bay, Texas by Jennifer C. Hatchett, B.A. A Thesis In ANTHROPOLOGY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Dr. Tamra L. Walter Chair Dr. Brett A. Houk Dr. Robert R. Paine Fred Hartmeister Dean of the Graduate School December, 2008 Texas Tech University, Jennifer C. Hatchett, December 2008 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the assistance of a huge number of people. I am certain to miss some individuals who were extremely helpful; for any I omit, my apologies and thanks. I must first thank my advisor, Dr. Tamra L. Walter, and my other committee members, Dr. Brett A. Houk and Dr. Robert R. Paine. The Texas Archeological Society helped to finance the project through a Donor’s Fund Grant in 2005. In Aransas County, Al and Diane Johnson made this project possible in many ways and provided support and enthusiasm throughout the process. Texas would be a better state for archaeology if there were more land owners like the Johnsons. Pat Braun, the archeological steward for Aransas County, provided assistance and advice. Many other individuals in the Rockport/Fulton area were also very helpful, including specifically Pam Wheat and Phil Stranahan as well as the Aransas County Historical Society. I also am deeply indebted to the Texas Tech University anthropology students who assisted with fieldwork: Cody Ames, James Barrera, Matthew Carter, Beverly Hatchett, Rebecca Hatchett, Jennifer Heuss, Bennett Kimbell, Kenneth LeCroy, Brittany McClain, Kimberly Morgan, Aaron Norment, Antonio Padilla, Daniel Rose, and Lindsey Skelton.

  • Guide to TN Watersheds
    What Is a Watershed? A watershed is all the land area that drains into a given body of water. Small watersheds combine to become big watersheds, sometimes called basins. When water from a few acres drains into a little stream, those few acres are its watershed. When that stream flows into a larger stream, and that larger stream flows into a bigger river, then the initial small watershed is now part of that river’s watershed. Watersheds are a logical way to think about the connection between the land and the quality of water we enjoy. How we manage and treat the land has a direct impact on the ability of water to support a number of im- portant public uses like swimming, fishing, aquatic species habitat and drinking water supply. We all live downstream from someone, and what happens in a watershed does not just stay in that watershed. Managing Programs by Watershed Tennessee’s water-protection program focuses on watersheds because it’s the Advisory Groups best way to evaluate, protect and improve the quality of all the waters in the state.
