NOTES FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

There is such a wealth of material that could be published that it sometimes be­ comes a problem to decide which to choose for these 50 pages. Some records are well-preserved, but not widely distributed, such as documents which have been microfilmed and books which have been reprinted. Other records are in danger of being lost entirely because of fading ink, fire t disinterest or natural weathering. These are the vital statistics found in family Bibles, courthouse attics and ceme­ teries. "Ansearchin'" News would like to have such records - particularly Family Bibles - which may contain information found nowhere else. Once these records appear in print in this quarterlYt those facts are placed in many libraries t in­ cluding the Library of Congress. Your grandfather's birthdate can never be com­ pletely lost. We do have one stipulation - at least some of the dates must pre- date the Civil War.· --

BE SURE YOUR FAMILY RECORDS ARE PRESERVED

Send us a copy of your unpublished family information. You zerox or handwritten original will be placed in our library file after the record has been published.

SEAHORN LORE. Eastern Tennessee History of "Zahaunt Sehon t Sehorn, Seehornt,Se­ horne, Sheorn Families. Published by Denton M. Starr, Route 1, Stillwell, OK 74960. Our thanks to Mrs. Donald F. Gregory of Owensboro, KY for a copy of the No.1, 1976 Bicentennial issue, which is ten pages full of names and information. An article on one Seahorn descendent was of special interest to me as I had met him once during his career as a very popular motion picture actor (1920-1950). A most gracious person and a handsome man, his name -- JOHN LOVE BOLES.

WAMPLER--Ancestors and Descendents in America. Mrs. Barbara S. Wampler, 310 Thayer Ave., Joliet, ILL 60432. $2.00 ea. In our last issue of 1976, we told of Barbara's "Newsletter" which requested Wamplers everywhere to share their family records with her. Well, it seems as though quite a number "got the mess­ age" as we have now received (Wampler) Book /I 1. It is 34. pages of various Wam­ pIers and their lineage. Congratulations, Barbara. Enjoyed your article in the Illinois State Genealogical Quarterly, too.

THE HOOSIER JOURNAL OF ANCESTRY. Quarterly published by Naomi Keith Sexton, P. O. Box 33, Little York, IND 47139. We have received a complimentary copy (Vol. IV, No.1 Jan. 1977) and are very much impressed with both the material offered and Ms. Sexton's presentation. Some of you may already be familiar with the magazine when published by the late Miss Ruby Martin. You say your missing ancestor couldn't have been in Indiana? Don't be too sure, as the settlers of the first counties in Indiana were from Virginia, Kentucky and the Carolinas; about 1830 came many Irish and German; about 1850, New Englanders and Quakers, abhoring slavery, from Tennessee and the Carolinas. Some of the top articles from this issue are: Clark County Marriages 1807-1815 (With bride's index), Order Book-Probate "A" 1817, and 1860 Census Washington Township; Excerpts from "The Western Eagle" (1813), paper printed weekly, Madison Co.; Washington Co. early land grants. 52 "Ansearchin'" News

Directories are a wonderful source for establishing residence and occupation at a given time, especially between Federal censuses, and this one even gives a list of the voters in each district. As many of the pioneers who o~ened up this part of Canada were from the United States, you might try here for that elusive ancestor.

THE LEBOWS OF EAST TENNESSEE, Miscellaneous Information on John Lebow (1792(?)­ aft. 1860), His Sons, Isham and Rial, and Their Descendants. Compiled by Ron­ ald J. Seibert. Soft backs. Over 47 pages. Not indexed. Order from the com­ piler, St. Thomas Lutheran Church, 21165 Detroit Rd., Rocky River, OH 44116. $3.50.

The author, through letters, wills, court records, deeds and family tradtions, recalls the story of the Lebow family of East Tennessee. The name Lebow, Lebo, Leabow, LeBeau is Norman French or perhaps Huguenot. Jack Lebow and his brother, Daniel, came to America from France and to Claiborne Co., TN. Jack married Mary Jennings at Lone Mountain. The Jennings, Paynes, Thompsons and others came to the vicinity of Lone Mountain soon after 1775, under the leadership of Daniel Boone. As other pioneer families, they tamed the wilderness, established homes, and ultimately their descendants moved to other counties of Tennessee and to other states of the Union. The author has made use of family letters in an unique way to tell the family story.

Order from the author, 243 Argonne Drive, Durham, NC27704. $15.00.

This is the seventh booK of the series that the author has produced. It is a highly useful genealogical source. The publication is well done and covers the court sessions from Feb. 23, 1805 thru Nov. 23, 1807. Many na~es of the inhabi- tants are listed.

JOHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA COURT MINUTES, 1808 THRU 1811, BOOK VIII by Weynette Parks Haun. 1976. Soft backs. Over 133 pages. Indexed. Order from the author, 243 Argonne Drive, Durham, NC 27704. $15.00.

The author continues the transcribing of the court minutes of Johnston County with the same purpose--to keep and disseminate the genealogi.cal information to be found in these minutes. She has followed the same format ~sed in the preced­ ing books. The book is well done and contains many names and much general in­ formation and insight to the people and their way of life.

BERTIE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA COURT MINUTES, 1724 THRU 1739, BOOK I by Weynette Parks Haun. 1976. Soft backs. Over 136 pages. Indexed. Order from the author, 243 Argonne Drive, Durham, NC 27704. $15.00.

The author has done well, a very difficult operation, in transcribing her first book on Bertie County Court Minutes. Transcribing was done in the order that the pages were microfilmed. Such translations run into peculiarities of writing, spelling and lack of correct spelling. The conditions of the paper on which the records are written, and the lack of care have sometimes been treated. She has, nevertheless, made available much valuable genealogical information. Other books to follow.

The six children of Oscar Herbert and Winnie Davis Raines were all born in Dallas Co., TX and were still living there in 1967. They know no other Raines but their father. They had been told that their grandmother Martha Izella Goforth had mar­ ried Walter Raines but lived with him only a short time and returned home. The curosity of these six brothers and sisters led them to a fasinating search for their father's people. This search took them to Cocke Co., TN and on to NC, VA & IRE. The unrolling of their search for their father's people is a story inter­ esting and satisfying in the related discoveries.

REVIEW BY JONATHAN K. SMITH 1860 AND 1870 U. S. CENSUS OF BENTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE. Transcribed by John C. and Catheryn C. Brown. Brocha Press, Memphis, TN. 1977. 436 pages. Order from Colonel John C. Brown, Box 37, Eva, TN 38333. $15.00.

Col. and Mrs. J. C.Brown of Eva, TN have produced an exceptionally well-abstracted census account .for the" years 1860 and 1870 for the West Tennessee county of Ben­ ton (established Jan. 1, 1836). Practically all details given on· each family unit are given in this transcription, including names of persons, their ages, places of their birth and their occupations, along with real and personal estate values. Also lLsted are the 1860 Mortality Schedule for this county, maps showing local civil districts and the 1860 slaveowners' schedule index. A survey of public and census records available on Benton County are also described. All of this data is presented with an attractive format, easily readable. Anyone with an interest in this section of the state should have this handy census book in his or her gene­ alogical library. It might also serve as an excellent example-guide on the way county census abstracts should be printed. Summer 1977 59

LIBRARY NOTES By James R. Johnson Reference Librarian and first assistant, History and Travel Department Memphis-Shelby County Library and Information Center

Since many of you are experienced genealogists who have visited libraries through­ out the country, you are well aware that most libraries have special files and in­ dexes which are extremely helpful to the family history researcher. As a result of years of work, these research tools have made materials in each collection more accessible to the library patron. Since the files are usually arranged by the alphabetical listing of the surname, it takes little time for a librarian or you, the patron, to check the listing for a particular ancestor. Over the years the librarians in the History Department of Memphis and Shelby County Public Library and Information Center have compiled three such indexes that should prove useful to genealogists throughout the country. Because they require a minimum of time to check, it is possible for the library staff to answer queries by mail for a parti­ cular ancestor.

The first of these files is the Tennessee Biography Index. For a number of years Memphis librarians have been preparing a surname index of persqns appearing in the following books on Tennessee and Memphis.* It should be pointed out that for the most part persons appearing in this index are the subjects of biographical sketches. This means that in Goodspeed's History of Tennessee Dr. C. A. Hudson, who receives a biographical sketch will be indexed, but his parents, C. Y. and Mary (Pardue) Hudson, who are mentioned in the Doctor's biographical sketch will not be indexed. Nevertheless, we feel that this index has been of great assistance to genealogical researchers.

) A second index that has been of much value to genealogists is the Confederate Vet­ eran index. This is an index to the magazine which was published monthly from 1893 through 1932. Confederate Veteran, published in Nashville,~ reported news and pre­ sented feature articles which were of interest to surviving Confederate veterans. It contains numerous biographical sketches of living and deceased veterans. Fur­ thermore, the magazine is replete with various lists and registers of veterans who served in the war. It often provides genealogists with valuable information on a family member. In so far as we are aware, we have the only surname and subject index to the magazine for the years 1893 to 1916.

The library's surname index was begun in 1976 and endeavors to familiarize patrons with research being conducted by fellow genealogists on a particular family. The' library staff wi~l check this file for those of you living outside the Memphis area. At the same time, by requesting the form used in the file, we shall gladly add the information on your family project.

All inquiries concerning these files should be addressed to:

Memphis and Shelby County Public Library and Information Center History and Travel Department 1850 Peabody Avenue Memphis, Tennessee 38104

Since interest in genealogy has increased so much in recent months, there may be a delay in answering your correspondence sepecially if photocopies need to be made.

In 1887, The Goodspeed Publishing Company of Chicago, published their first edition of HISTORY OF GALLATIN, SALINE, HAMILTON, FRANKLIN AND WILLIAMSON COUNTIES (of) ILLINOIS, which contains histories and biographies of the five named counties. In 1976, Unigraphic, Inc., Evansville, Ind., published a reproduction of the original edition. The abstracted biographies which follow show some connection with Tennessee in the life of the subject. Because these are abstracts and are not complete quotes, the researcher should refer to the original book for complete information. Abbre­ viations used are as follows:

TENNESSEE MEN WHO SERVED IN THE OREGON VOLUNTEERS INFANTRY AND CAVALRY DURING CIVIL WAR PERIOD Contributed by Effingham P. Humphrey, Jr., 228 Booth Lane, Haverford, PA 19041

In 1961, the Genealogical Forum of Portland, Oregon, Inc., published Soldiers Who Served~n the Oregon Volun.teers, Civil War Period, Infantry and Cavalry, compiled by Mrs. M. A. Pekar and Miss Edna Mingus for Chemeketa Chapter, Daughters Of The American Revolution. The title page states that these soldiers "enlisted for the Civil War, but were used to police Indian Tribes in Oregon, Washington and Idaho."

The 76 pages of the volume list some 1800 men, with details of their service. For most soldiers, the only information provided is rank as private, dates of service and identification of company. In a few cases, additional information is provided: place of enlistment, promotion, desertion, state or country of origin, occupation and age. No officers are listed. "Ansearchin'" News 88

From this latter group, only about 15% of the total, are abstracted the data about men born in Tennessee. No responsibility can be taken for the accuracy of these details, and persons desiring further information should write to the State Adju­ tant General, State Office Building, Salem OR 97310. Copies of the book may be ob­ tained from the Genealogical Forum of Portland, Oregon, Inc., Room 812, Neighbors of Woodcraft Building, 1410 S. W. Morrison, Portland~ OR 97205, for $1.00. There are doubtless many more Tennesseans listed, though not so identified, in the book.
