We know genealogists have been active because we have received notices of your family reunions, seminars and research opportunities. Three societies report seminars: The Florida State Genealogical Society will hold its Thirteenth Annual Conference on November 3-4 in Gainesville. Contact Mrs. Mary Murphy, 3206 NW 52nd Place, Gainesville, FL 32605 for details. Her phone number is 904-378-8092. Two Michigan groups, Huron Valley and Lyons Township Genealogical Societies, will combine forces to host the Michigan Genealogical Council's seminar, one with the intriguing theme of "Goin' Courtn" - 200 Years of the Judicial System." The dates are September 28-30, and the place is the Novi Hilton, Novi, MI. Lois Spiter, 1900 Horseshoe Dr., Highland, MI can direct any inquiry to the proper person. The West Florida Genealogical Society will be having its Annual Conference on Sep­ tember 23rd with Helen F.M. Leary as the speaker. Her subject is "Dead Ends and Open Roads: Open Roads Are Better." The meeting place is Pensacola Civic Center. For reservations contact W.F.G.S., P.O. Box 947, Pensacola, FL 32594. Three family organizations have written to us: The GANN family gathered in June and formed a society. All Gann descendants may become charter members by joining before 1990. Joy Gann Brown, Rt. #4, Box 1078, Hillsborough, NC 27278 is the chairperson. The GOWEN Research Foundation, a non-profit heritage society, was recently organ­ ized with Arlee Gowen, 5078 Gary Ave., Lubbock, TX 79413, as its president. She invites correspondence and contributions of Gowen research. Any spelling of the name - Gawan, Goin, Govan, Goyne, Gouwen etc. - is acceptable and welcome. The LOUDIN-THOMAS family gathers every year on the last Sunday in July at Indian Mountain State Park in Jellico, Tennessee. Information about these families may be obtained from Shelby Alexander, 7673 Shields Rd., Lewisburg, OH 45338. Phone: 513-962-4909. Another society is planning a publication: The Historical Society of Maries County, Missouri has chosen a two volume format for its county's history. Volume 1 is a pictorial record, and Volume 2 is devoted to county and family history. Write the Society at P.O. Box 289, Vienna, MO 65582. Verna Baker Banes, P.O. Box 7435, Huntsville, TX 77342-7435 has written us that she has three WILSON death certificates from Tullahoma, Coffee Co., Tennessee which do not seem to fit into her Wilson line. Names of the deceased are: Marion Wilson (b185l IN, d 1925), Mrs. Nancy Wilson (d 1912, age 52), and Nancy Wilson (d 1912 age 61). Mrs. Banes will send copies to anyone able to identify the family of these persons. The Clayton Library, Center for Genealogical Research opened to the public last fall in Houston, Texas. It is known as one of the finest and largest of all genealogical libraries, and judging from the plat of the facilities, it seems to have catered to every need of the researcher. Current hours are: Monday - Wednesday, 9am to 9pm; Thursday - Saturday, 9am to 5pm. Fall 1989 99 FAMILY GATHERINGS Prepared for publication by Mary Louise Graham Nazar UNUSUAL WEDDING STORY OF PASCHALL-WILSON 1864 - Contributed by Betsy Foster West, 825 S. Perkins, Memphis, TN 38117 Dr. Newton Julian PASCHALL was born 21 May 1840 Weakley Co TN and died 12 Oct 1900 in South Fulton, TN. He married Sarah Jane WILSON, who was born 7 Feb 1844 Ballard Co KY (now Carlisle Co) and died 18 Jan 1921 S. Fulton, KY. She was the daughter of James Rutledge Wilson and Elizabeth Johnson HOLMAN (who lived near Milburn, KY). Newton and Sarah were married 17 Jul 1864 during the Civil War under very unusual circumstances. There are two versions of these circumstances: one written by Sarah and one appearing in the 1898 Fulton Daily Leader on three consecutive days penned by Newton. Sarah's story: "The author of this article was sixteen years old when the war of the rebellion began. Although of immature age, I was very decided in my preference of the political situation. So with South Carolina blood tingling in my veins, I donned the secession badge, which was a rosette made of red, white, and blue ribbon cut half in two. \Vhile the Union Party wore the unsevered rosette and at that time were greatly in the majority in the community where I lived. But, nothing daunted, I wore mine pinned on the left breast as the pride of my heart ... In the spring of sixty-four the Southern troops were moved from Kentucky. But frequently parties were sent back for recruits, such as men and horses, and in July Capt. N.J. Paschall was detailed by Col. Ed. Crossland of Forrest's cavalry as recruiting officer into Kentucky. As we had previously arranged to get married, we decided to take advan­ tage of this perhaps last opportunity. So we managed to get a legal license and get a preacher brave enough to say the ceremony, but this was not done without some dif­ ficulty. Then the next thing was to get out of there (that is to get out of the Federal lines) for

Allen ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of American historical societies in collecting and preserving history during the nineteenth century. By looking at what these organizations accrued and how they presented their collections, we can better understand how people in the nineteenth century viewed their past. This dissertation, however, argues that historical societies did more than compile and conserve the past. It contends that these historical agencies, through various methods, influenced the way the public perceived and, consequently, believed to be true about their history.

    Leadership in Nashville

    LEADERSHIP IN NASHVILLE 1964 Collection Number: MSS 585 Size: 1 Manuscript Special Collections and University Archives Jean and Alexander Heard Library Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tennessee LEADERSHIP IN NASHVILLE 1964 Biography/History This was a special project chosen by a History of Nashville Class of Senior Citizens and the results of their topic on Nashville’s Hundred Greatest Citizens. These people were selected on the basis of their contributions to city, state, or nation. By agreement, no one was included whose death occurred less than twenty years before the class. The list is the product of the combined judgment of the class. The teacher, Alfred Leland Crabb, reserved the right of veto. In all, 154 men and women were nominated. The list was gradually reduced to a minimum of 116. Prolonged effort was made to lower the number to the 100 originally agreed upon, but it was futile. In 1984, the class project was transferred from the Peabody Library to Special Collections. Scope and Contents This collection contains one manuscript item with 41 pages, titled Leadership in Nashville. It contains a listing of 116 of the most prominent citizens in Nashville leadership, with brief accompanying biographical sketches. The following people are listed: Adelicia Hayes Acklen, 1817-1889 Social leader, gracious hostess Adam Gillespie Adams, 1829-1895 Merchant and banker Edward Emerson Barnard, 1857-1923 Astronomy Washington Barrow, 1807-1866 Editor and Congressman John Meredith Bass, 1804-1878 Lawyer, banker, planter, twice mayor Jere Baxter, 1852-1904 Builder, Tennessee Central Railroads John Bell, 1797-1869 Lawyer, statesman, orator, political leader William T.

    THE McGAVOCK FAMILY. A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF JAMES McGAVOOK AND HIS DESCENDANTS FROM 17 60 TO 1903, BY 0 REV. ROBERT GRAY. "This shall be written for the generations to come. "-Pslm. cii, I8. RICHMOND: WM. ELLIS JONES, BOOK AND JOB PRINTER. PREFACE. '' There is a deep significance and a profound philosophy in that Divine economy enjoined upon the ancient Israelites to pre­ serve their ancient pedigrees, and to hold in sacred veneration the memory of their forefathers; and so it was that when the CHILD JESUS was born of this race, though of humble and ob­ scure family, Matthew was able to give his paternal pedigree, as the son of Joseph, back through forty-two generations to Abra­ ham, and Luke, his maternal pedigree, as the son o.f Mary, through seventy-six generations to Adam. "Nothing, at first sight, seems less interesting or less instruc­ tive than a genealogical table-a mere register of names and dates. But, each of these names is the memorial of a human heart that once lived and died-a heart that kept its steady pul­ sations through some certain period of time, and then ceased to beat, and mouldered into dust. Each of these names is a me­ morial of an individual human life that had its joys and sorrows; its cares and burdens; its affections and hopes; its conflicts and achievements; its opportunities wasted or improved, and its hour of death. Each of these dates of birth, marriage and death! Oh! how significant! What a day was each of these to some human family, or to some circle of loving human hearts." Daniel Webster once said: "The man who feels no sentiment of veneration for the memory of his forefathers; who has no natural regard for his ancestors or his kindred, is himself un­ worthy of kindred, regard or remembrance." The name McGavock is Scotch or Scotch-Irish, and if there is any family of the same name in the United States, other than the one of whom this work treats, after long and careful search, I have failed_ to learn of it.

    SCOT-IRISH MEN, WHO EXEMPLIFIED SCOT-IRISH CULTURE This article focused on men who exemplified the Scot-Irish Culture in early America. For example, the following men observed the Scot-Irish values in the conduct of General Andrew Jackson and also displayed these values in their own lives: Jacob McGavock; Davy Crockett; Sam Houston; William Carroll; John Coffee and James K. Polk (who learned the practice of law in the office of Felix Grundy and who served as aid de camp, on the staff of Gen./Governor William Carroll). In part, because they were loyal protégés of Andrew Jackson, the following Scot-Irish men attained notable success. Sam Houston became a U.S. Congressman, Governor of Tennessee, Commander of Texian Troops in the Battle for Texas Independence, the First President of the Republic of Texas, and Governor of Texas. William Carroll (1788-1844, son of Thomas Carroll and Mary Montgomery, with heavy Scot-Irish ancestry), served as a colonel in the battles against the Creeks in the Creek War and War of 1812, served as second in command at the Battle of New Orleans, attained the rank of general and served as Governor of Tennessee. James K. Polk served as Governor of Tennessee, U.S. Congressman and 11th U. S. President. Jackson had his protégés study the book, Scottish Chiefs [the story of William Wallace 1270-1305] to learn about the meaning of “honor.” The mother of William Wallace, the national hero of Scotland, was Margaret Crawford [1257-1273]). William Wallace was raised in part by a Crawford uncle after William’s father died, just as Andrew Jackson was raised in part by a Crawford uncle, after Andrew’s father died.
