OVER THE EDITOR'S DESK

Now that Labor Day is over and schools are back in session, many of us are able to resume our lives on a more regular schedule . . . or so we suppose. Then there are others of us (and I'm one of these) who say "Where has the sununer gone? I'm only on July schedule." We have so many opportunities to further our research, and we fully intend to pursue them, but somehow we never seem to get caught up . . . or am I the only one in this condition? Perhaps one of the opportunities below will fit your schedule or offer another source of information. Personally speaking, I need a course on time-stretching!

The second annual Genealogy Conference, co-sponsored by the Family History Centers of Memphis, TN (Walnut Grove) and Memphis, TN North, will be held on Saturday, October 29, 1994 at the facilities of the Memphis North group at 4195 Kirby mitten Rd., Bartlett, TN. This free conference to assist the amateur genealogist at every level, also offers a free syllabus of all classes and a complimentary lunch, if you register before September 30th. Late registration will be honored to the best ability of the hosts. You may call them weekday evenings at (901) 388-9974 or (901) 754-2545.

Another chance for learning comes from our state capital, Nashville, TN. The Middle Tennessee Genealogical Society will be sponsoring a seminar on Saturday, 19 November 1994 in Nashville. The speaker will be Elizabeth Shown Mills, CG, CGL, FASG, editor of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly. For details of place, time and registration, contact Mary Glenne Hearne, 3838 Granny White Pike, Nashville, TN 37204, (615) 383-8989 after 6:00 P M.

The Newsletter of the Southeastern Jurisdiction Historical Society of The United Methodist Church is edited by the Rev. Joseph W. Lasley, 423 Crum Dr., Lake Junaluska, NC 28745. His June issue carried an article titled "How-To For Genealogists" quoted from Action Memo, Spring 1994. It concerns the availability of United Methodist records, as follows:

"The genealogist is the bane and blessing of most archives! The General Commission (of the United Methodist Church) has prepared a flyer that answers some frequently-asked questions by family researchers, along with definitions of distinctively United Methodist terms. The flyer is adapted from a booklet written by Dr. John Simms, historian of the North Central Jurisdiction and a member of the General Commission on Archives & History.

We are happy to make this flyer available to you. Please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope, legal-size, to Susan Eltscher at the General Commission, P.O. Box 127, Madison, NJ 07940. You may duplicate the flyer as needed. You may adapt the information to suit your archives' circumstances, but we ask that you acknowledge the original authors on copies you distribute."

GIBSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE 1830 L I S T OF INHABITANTS

Gibson County is one of several counties formed from the Western District in 1823. This handwritten list had been bound and was in the Trenton Library. In a different handwriting from the list, 1830 was written on the frontpiece. An effort was made to verify the date by comparing the list of names with Mrs. Emily B. Walker's books of tax lists (see Book Reviews). The names were compared to the 1828 and 1832 tax list, the 1830 census index, the 1836 tax list (printed in "Ansearchin'" News 1978), and the 1840 census index ("Ansearchin'" News 1970). This comparison of names was surprising in that there were many names on each list which were not on the one below. There are names listed below that were not on any of the lists checked. Normally, men between the ages of 21-50 pay a poll tax, and the lack of female names on the list may indicate this is a poll tax, or perhaps a Jury Pool. Could it possibly be the list made prior to Gibson becoming a County in 1823 showing a sufficient number of inhabitants?

"A list of the Free Male Inhabitants of Gibson County State of Tennessee taken agreeable to an Act of the Legislature of said State by John A. Raines Commissioner."

NANCY HAMPTON BIBLE RECORD - Submitted by Diana Mellen, 904 Conestoga ~ l v d . Yakima, WA 98908

Mrs. MELLEN found the Bible while clearing her mother's house following Mrs. Bettie McCRACKEN 's death. The Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, was printed in 1852 in New York by the American Bible Society. According to an entry on the fly leaf it originally belonged to Nancy Darthula (HAMPTON) McCRACKEN, daughter of Nancy Jane LONGWITH. John Longwith, probably Nancy Longwith's brother, is entered on a fly page with the placename Dare given (a Bradley Co, TN community). The entries are difficult to read because of aging. Each page is entitled "Family Record". We have attempted to organize this record by family groupings as given in an accompanying letter by Mrs. Mellen.

William Hampton, the father of James M. Hampton Sr, was a Revolutionary War veteran and survivor of the Valley Forge winter. At the time of his death in 1837 he was a member of the Hiwassee Baptist Church in McMinn County. However, there is no present marker for his grave. Undoubtedly, he is buried in the graveyard near the church. Many graves are marked with stones but have no readable inscriptions on them at the present time, if indeed they ever had any. William Hampton's identity as a Continental Army veteran was well known to his neighbors in McMinn County. Any local information concerning the location of William Hampton's grave would be greatly appreciated. Mrs. Diana Mellen is in possession of William Hampton's army pension papers.

James M. HAMPTON, Jr., was in the 36th Regiment, Tennessee Volunteers of the Confederate Army. He died at Knoxville, Tennessee, on March 26, 1862. The story of this unit is a reflection of the divided state of Tennessee allegiances in the Civil War period. Organized in February 1862, this regiment was raised from men in Knox, Bradley, Hamilton, and Marion Counties of East Tennessee. However, when it was posted at the Cumberland Gap, substantial numbers of the men deserted to the Union lines rather than fight against their fellow East Tennesseans who joined


(continued)

the Union forces in Kentucky. The regiment, by April 1862, was regarded by the Confederate command as "disloyal", and in May 1862 was ordered to Savannah, Georgia - a more "loyal" environment. However, by June 1862 the regiment was disbanded and the "loyal" men assigned to other regiments.

Another member of this family group who saw Civil War service was John B. McCRACKEN, the father of Jackson L. McCracken. He, it seems, was in the Union Army, and died in its service during the war. Tennessee, like Kentucky, Missouri, and Virginia [whose western part became a Union state in 18631, contributed men to both sides of the bitter struggle we call the American Civil War, and some of them died in the military service of their respective armies. The Union authorities raised a number of regiments from East Tennessee who fought bravely and well. On several occasions the Confederate and Union regiments from Tennessee met in battle, and the fighting was fiercer between them than it would have been under normal circumstances. All too often fathers and sons, brothers and cousins were in opposing uniforms. [Tennesseans in the Civil War, vol 1 (Nashville: Civil War Centennial Commission, 1964), pp. 251-2.1

CAPTAIN WILLIAM THOMSON--The Man Who Founded " Eveni ng Shade" Contributed by Mary Twitty Clements, 2303 E . 131st St, Bixby, OK 74008

Captain William THOMSON served in the War of 1812 and commanded a company of soldiers from Smith County in Middle Tennessee. His mother was a cousin of President James Knox POLK. After the war, Captain Thomson brought his family west by flatboat and went to Arkansas, settling 25 miles north of Batesville. First he built a log cabin to shelter his family and then a grist mill and sawmill. As the Thomsons prospered, the log cabin was replaced by a better house. In the 1840s, the settlers who had joined Captain Thomson in this area, petitioned the Federal Government for a post office. The mail for the area had to go to Batesville, and was delivered only every two or three months from Wild Haws in Izard County. Postage at the time was charged according to the distance the mail had to be sent. Naturally, anyone writing to the settlers north of Batesville had to pay more than if they sent a letter to a nearer recipient. It was a surprise to many at the small settlement that the petition for a post office was granted. Perhaps Captain Thomson's kinship to the President had something to do with it. In any case, when the papers arrived it was necessary to fill in a name for the settlement. Captain Thomson then realized that the settlement had never had a formal name. The Captain looked at the tall pine trees, which grow in the area; as they threw a shadow over his mill as the sun set, bringing darkness prematurely. In a flash of inspiration Captain Thomson wrote "Evening Shade" in the blank for the settlement name. This is the town which inspired the television series of the same name.

BENTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE 1837 TAX L I S T Transcribed by Harry Milton Cleveland, Jr from Tennessee State Library and Archives

Microfilm, Tax Lists Roll No.1

The value of printing the 1837 tax list immediately after the 1836 list (see Vol 41, {/2) lies in comparison of the two. Some names have disappeared from the second list; did he/she die or move away? In the case of a woman who had paid tax on a slave e, the slave could have died, been freed or sold, and the woman would not appear on the list, yet still be 1 iving .

New names may appear on the 1837 list. Did a young man just attain majority at age 21, or did a new resident move into the district? If he paid only poll tax, either or both suppositions might be true.

Sometimes changes are noted in the name, a different spelling (a different enumerator also?) or the addition of an initial or second name. Sometimes the acreage changes; did he buy or sell, or did some of us read the figures incorrectly? A change in poll tax payment to non-payment could mean that a man had turned 50 and is no longer charged poll tax, however if he paid tax on anything else, his name would be included.

A lively imagination may help us establish the truth during these non-census years.

Abbreviations: DIST. = District, A = Acres, TL = Town Lot, S = Slave, W = White Poll, and DT = Double Tax, "...not having given in on time according to law."

OBITUARIES FROM THE ARKADELPHIA, ARKANSAS Contributed by Allen B. Syler, 712 South 22nd, Arkadelphia, AR 71923

JUDGE EAKIN died on Thursday night at the residence of his sister-in-law in Marshall, MO where he had gone only a few days before he was taken ill. Judge Eakin moved from Tennessee to Washington, in this state in 1857. He was recognized as an able lawyer, and was elected chancelor in 1874 in which position he served two terms. In 1878 he was elected associate justice of the supreme court, and his term would have expired next year. His remains were taken to Washington, where he was buried by the Knights Templar . 12 Sept 1885

It is with regret that we chronicle the death of one of our oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, Judge N. H. LOCK. He has been rather feeble for some months, but he was thought to be in his usual health, on last Tuesday when he suddenly fell forward from his chair, dead. It was most likely of the nature of a heart trouble. Judge Locke was esteemed and respected of all his neighbors and acquaintances-- a man though of peculiar disposition, scrupulously upright and straight-forward in all his transactions of life, and the embodiment of affection and tenderness in his domestic relations. Judge Locke was born in Tennessee in 1812 and at his death was 73 years of age. He immigrated to this state and county in 1860 and settled in the Terre Noir section of this county; he moved to Arkadelphia just after the war, and has since lived here. 12 Sept 1885

This computer-printed transcription is an attempt to identify McNairy County residents of the 1890rs, and to compensate for the missing 1890 census. The original tax record was found in the McNairy County courthouse basement, and the information copied was selected as that being most useful to genealogical researchers. Arranged alphabetically by surnames, the number of acres or number of town lots, poll tax assessed, total tax paid, date paid, district number and remarks follow. Individuals who owned land in more than one district are listed in each district.

MS Garrett has dedicated this series to "all our ancestors that lost their home in the forced removal, also known as the Trail of Tears". In this volume she continues to link the Drennen ~ 0 1 1 of 1851 and the Guion Miller Applications taken from 1906 to 1910. The two lists are briefly explained and illustrated with maps. Family relationships are identified if possible. Other volumes are planned, and Volume 3 will give Saline District and the 1880 Cherokee Orphanage census.

Created in 1792 from part of Lincoln County, Logan County became the parent of twelve present day counties. The greatest number of settlers came from Virginia, but many came from the Atlantic coast and the mid-west Territories. The Deed Records were filmed by courthouse personnel in Russellville, with help from the Kentucky Archives. From that film, Mrs. Murray has abstracted transfers of property, powers of attorney, bills of sale, Kentucky citizenship papers, relinquishments of dower, deeds of gift, and emancipation certificates. The Index of Places and the Slave Index should be very useful.

This "master index" of case files of the Southern Claims Commission has consolidated information from existing works. Three were published by the Unided States government in the ninefeenth century. The fourth, published in 1980 by the present writer, was entitled Civil War Claims in the South, The Union invasion of the South caused suffering for Union sympathizers, just as it did for Confederate supporters. In 1871 Congress created a claims commission through which southern Unionists could apply for reimbursement for some of their losses. Southerners filed 22,298 cases. The adjudication of these cases created a vast store of data that is now maintained by the National Archives in Washington. These records are located in five separate record groups. All records can be accessed by using the four-step process flow chart which prefaces this book.

John Dill's descendants are followed through several generations to the present day. The text is illustrated with charts, copies of documents, photographs, newspaper, articles, and census entries. Relationships among descedants are illustrated with family group sheets. Related families include: Wofford, Seay, Wood, Burton, McKinney, Taylor, Gray, Hill, Berlin, Coleman, and Hashimoto.
