-101THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Dear Members,
Manytllanks and much appreciation to all of you who have sent in
Bible 'records. While snooping in second-hand stores this summer
in search of pre-World War II postcards and paper Kentuckiana for
my personal collection, I came across several old Bibles with
records going back to the 1700's. Only one place refused permission
to copy. Maybe you can do the same thing in your area.
Please don't feel limited to Bible records. We would love to have
docu~ented accounts of your family, clippings of genealogical columns
in your newspapers, 'historical pamph1ets-.;or what have you. While
we print only Tennessee records, our library welcomes any material.
Our Seminar with Milo Howard was most enjoyable. He is a delightful
and humorous speaker. One of the greatest pleasures of genealogy is
the people we meet.
Several members from other states have stopped by to use our library
and visit with us this summer. We hope to see still more of you.
(See last quarter for address and hours)
To all of you who are spending your vacation rummaging in courthouses
and tramping through g~aveyards, I wish you full note books and no
chiggers.
Sincerely,
~~ .I//J1u~...
Mrs. Henry Norfleet Moore,
President '

BOOK REVIEWS
Reviewed by Herman L. Bogan
RECOLLECTIONS OF A LIFETIME by Mary Katherine Killebrew (1902);
Wife of J. B. Killebrew(written for her children) and Diary of
the Journey From London to Adair County, Kentucky by James Fall.
Soft covers. 180 pages, indexed. Order from Mrs. Clyde Lynch,
Route 5, Franklin, Tennessee 37064. $8.00.
This is a very remarkable and intriguing story of a woman's life in early
Tennessee. An insight into the lives spent by our ancestors in the early
days of our state arid country can be gained from this autobiography of a
pioneer woman. Many names and places are mentioned. Are you searching in
middle Tennessee for some ancestor? You may find some clue here. Mr. Fall's
Diary is interesting and provocative. What an emigrant and his family
endured on a trip to America is well told by Mr. Fall.
RECOLLECTIONS OF MY LIFE, Vol. I by J. B. Killebrew (1897), soft cover.
Over 180 pages, indexed. Order from Mrs. Clyde Lynch, Route 5,
Franklin, Tennessee 37064. $10.00.
Twenty four chapters and an appendix constitute a very well written
description of a life spent in early Tennessee. J. B. Killebrew described
ordinary activities of himself and his people so that these events seemed
to be exceptional. His account of the young ladies of the 1840's and their
ability to ride horses with grace and dexterity is exceptional and demonstrates the quality of his writings. However, wouldn't any young man of
any age have thought such of the young women with whom they were acquainted?
Perhaps so, but all would not have been able to express their observations
as did J. B. Killebrew.
RECOLLECTIONS OF MY LIFE, Vol. II by J. B. Killebrew (1898), soft cover.
Over 250 pages, indexed. Order from Mrs. Clyde Lynch, Route 5,
Franklin, Tennessee 37064. $10.00.
Twenty four chapters and an appendix constitute the years of maturity
for J. B. Killebrew. He has become successful in his work in the telling
of an interesting phase of Tennessee and Southern History. Mr. Killebrew
mentions so many names that his "Recollections" could be a gold mine for
genealogists interested in Tennessee.
BOOKPLATES, A selective :bibl~ography Of The Periodical literature ~y
Audrey Spencer Arellanes (1971), hard covers, 512 pages, indexed
by Subject, Artist and Author, (3). Order from The Gale Research
Company, Book Tower, Detroit, Michigan 48226. $15.00
A Bookplate is a label bearing the owner's name and often a design, coat
of arms, etc. designed for pasting on the front fly leaf of a book. The
long fascinating history of Bookplates probably began by Brother Hildebrand,
a Carthusian Monk gave the monastery at Buxheim a volume which contained
an Ex Libris. This book is perhaps the first guide to the periodical
literature of Bookplates. 5,445 articles published from 1822 to date are
listed, briefly summarized and the entries from approximately 600 journals
indexed. These entries are chronologically listed. The index of subject,
artist, .and author is indeed helpful.

Last Will & Testament of Robert P.Currin, Lauderdale
County, Tennessee, Probated at October Term 1857.
Contributed by Winnie Miller
" •••••••• in order to make the said Thomas Washington to execute this
of my will. I hereby require my executors to deliver over
said slaves Arthur and Susan, to the said Thomas Washington at Nashville
immediately after my death, and that they pay· over to said Arthur out of
my estate one hundred dollars to remove himself and wife to Nashville and
bear their expenses until they can get fixed in Nashville to do something
for themselves. I also direct my executors to give said Arthur a set of
carpenters tools either to be purchased anew for him or given to him out
of such tools upon my plantation in Lauderdale County at the time of my
death as can be conveniently spared, in view of the difficulties incident
to the emancipation of slaves in Tennessee. So as to remain in Tennessee,
in fact they being too old to be sent to Liberia with advantage to them~
selves, and not qualified to establish themselves advantageously in a free
state. I say in view of these things, it is apprehandedby me that said
Thomas Washington may not be able to procure the emancipation of said
slaves upon such times as they would wish, and believing also as I do
that they are better qualif:i..ed to earn a living in Nashville than in the
country or elsewhere in Tennessee. It is therefore my will and desire
that if the same Thomas Washington should not be able to procure the unconditional emancipation of said slaves that he take charge of them as
owner so as to protect them from molestation as slaves going at large or
as free negroes which have not been singularly emancipated and that he
superintend them in such a way that they may have the entire benefit of
their own labour, and at the same time enjoy the protection of the laws;
both as regards their persons and any contracts that they might wish to
make for services to be rendered. And in consideration that the said
Thomas Washington has promised me to stand in the said relation toward
the said Arthur and Susan, I give and bequeath to him FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
to be paid by my executors to him out of my estate. And I also give to
said Thomas Washington in case of his death before the said Arthur and
Susan or either of them shall die, power and authority to appoint some
person in his stead at his deatht:o occupy the same relation towards said
negroes and William 6< Campbell of Williamson County, executors of this
last will and testament truly invoking all others heretofore made by me,
and I exempt them from giving security as they are strangers in Lauderdale
County ••••••• "

MARRIAGES GLEANED FROM SMITH COUNTY, TENNESSEE WILLS, 1805-1833
By Betty G. Moore
Although Smith County was formed in 1799, there are no extant marriage
records before 1838. The following records will fill some of the gap.
I have copied only those references where the husband's first name was
given. The date is that of the document, so remember that the actual
marriage may have taken place many years before, perhaps in another state.
These Will Books include guardian accounts, administrations, etc.

United States Mail Service
Contributed by William A. Burns
Recently while abstracting and copying "Death and Obituary Notices" from
old newspapers (on microfilm) of the 'HERALD and TRIBUNE' published at
Jonesboro, Tenn., I came across a very interesting article·entitled "United
States Mail Service", in the issue of Vol. XXXVII, ft2,dated Wednesday,
April 12, 1905. The lengthy article contained many facts about the 'early
service', however my abstract below will be rather short, just containing
a few notes which I thought would be of interest to readers of "ANSEARCHIN'"
NEWS.
Although Jonesboro was the oldest town (chartered Jan. 17, 1779) in Tennessee
and the First Congressional District (twelve counties), it could not boast
of an established Federal Government Postoffice until April 7, 1799. Eight
months later, on December 1, 1800, the G.overnmentestablished our "Rural
Free Deliveries" (R.F .D.)., giving Washington County 31 rural routes.
Today (1905), Washington County boasts of 34 routes. The 12 counties, makingupthe'First Congressional Distric;:t', today (1905), comprise a total
of 262 routes. The carriers on these 262 routes receive each $720 a year,
aggregating $188,640. that Uncle Sam, scatters annually among the people of
the 12 counties. Washington County carriers share for their 34 routes
total $24,480. annually.
With the establiShment of the JonesboroPostoffice on April 1, 1799-- John
Wa.ddell was commissioned the first Postmaster the same day. During the next
106 years, 24 more Postmasters were commissioned as follows: 2. John
McAllester, May 23, 1799; 3. David Deaderick, Nov. 13, 1823; 4. Oliver B.
Ross, Sept., 29, 1829; 5. Wm. G. Gammon, April 30, 1841; 6. John P. Chester,
