OVER THE EDITOR'S DESK
We hope your summer was a pleasant one and you were able to search for and locate
those lost ancestors. On a personal note, I received help from a "new-found" California cousin and have been able to, hopefully, climb over the very solid brick wall
that has hidden my maternal great grandfather since the Civil War.
The newly revised and updated CUMULATIVE TABLE OF CONTENTS for The Tennessee Genealogical Magazine, "ANSEARCHIN"' NEWS, is now available. All articles and subjects
published in "ANSEARCHIN"' NEWS from 1954 through 1990 are listed; the price is
still only $1.00 for this valuable aid.
.
This is the third issue of "ANSEARCHIN "' NEWS, and we invite you to renew your subscription by sending $15.00 for 1991. A form is enclosed for your convenience. If
we have not yet published records for the particular Tennessee county/counties of interest to you, let us know and, if possible, we will include them in future issues.
Our annual Surname Index is in the fourth issue of "ANSEARCHIN'" NEWS; in the past
this issue has not reached you until late January or February. With the use of computers, we will try to mail the issue the last of December. Please remember, we are
an unpaid, all volunteer staff and have busy holiday season schedules. In fact, The
Tennessee Genealogical Society and Library close each year from before Thanksgiving
until after the first of January. Themail is picked up while we are closed, but
there may be a delay in replies to your letters.
Have you enjoyed the maps published in our magazine? We hope so, and we are indebted to our President and former Editor, Betsy Foster West. Betsy spends hours reducing and "cleaning up" large scale maps ordered from The Tennessee State Library and
Archives for the 1836-1837 Civil Districts of the various counties. Her talent and
patience are remarkable, and the maps reflect her dedication to accuracy. Being
able to see the area of the county where your people lived can be helpful to locate
them in nearby counties, both before and after the map date.
The Annual Fall Conference of the Illinois State Genealogical Society will be held
26-27 Oct 1990 at the Ramada Inn-Thelma Keller Convention Center, Effingham, IL.
Elizabeth Shown Mills, Co-editor of the National Genealogical Society, the featured
speaker, will lecture on "The Battle of the Burned Courthouse" and "The Elusive
Ancestor." For details, contact: Virginia Hart, Registration Chairman, P.O. Box 92,

PETITIONS TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF TENNESSEE
Abstracted from Tennessee State Library and Archives Microfilm
Legislative Petitions 1812-1813, Roll NO. 4
(Continued from Summer issue)
14-3-1813
Petition of Thomas BLACKNEY of Montgomery County shows that he "is now
and has been many years in the Possession of a woman of Colour named
Harriette about thirty one or thirty two years of age and was bourn in the State of
Virginia near the close of the revolutionary War and from the best information your
Petitioner ..• doth believe that the mother of said Harriette was entitled to her freedom and was plundered from the State of Maryland, run to the State of South Carolina
and sold to the father of your petitioner as a Slave •.• " His father, on enquiry,
discovered that Harriette was entitled to her freedom by birth when she became of
age. As a last request he asked that Harriette should not be treated as a slave but
should be raised as a member of the family and given her freedom "when she arrive at
full age." This is now the purpose of this petition. Furthermore, Harriette has
been in the possession of Thomas Blackney for "upwards of Seventeen years since
which time she •.. has borne three children ... Frederick, a boy twelve years of age on
the
day of April last - John, a boy seven years of age the 15th of January last
and Tobias, a boy five years of age the 10th day of December last, which said illegitimate children your petitioner requests and wishes should be made free when they
arrive at the age of manhood and surnamed after the Blakney family ••• " Blackney requests that he be made Guardian of the boys and promises to feed, clothe & educate
them. He further states that "the Act of Assembly ratifyed in the year 1801 authorizing the County Courts to emansipate Slaves does not cover your petitioner's request or wish, said Woman of Colour not being considered as a Slave, and her three
children not being claimed by me or any other person as such ... "

Memorial on the subject of Tipling Houses: Numerous Tipling Shops are
erected on the "high way, and in our Towns by free Negroes and others to
such an extent that our Servants cannot with safety be sent on our ordinary business,
owing to the trafic and intoxication encouraged and carried on at those Sinks of
Corruption ... Sabbath days are regularly violated and profaned by the numerous crowd
of Slaves collected for the purpose of drinking and bartering for whiskey, the stolen property of their owners, and others •.. " The following men signed the request
for the Assembly to "remedy the evil": [Ed. Note. No county is given, but many of
the names appeared on the 1811 Davidson County Tax List.}

FAMILY GATHERINGS
Prepared for publication by Mary Louise Graham Nazar
A YOUNG MANIS QUEST
(continued from Summer issue)
May 18th 1852 The weather has been cool & pleasant. I was out late last
night in search of a stray lunatic but did not succeed in finding her. She escaped
from the Asylum about 11 oclock in the morning & passed here after sundown. After
supper an assistant physician came in pursuit & at his request I accompanied him.
She was found today at the academy & carried back to the Asylum.
May 19th 1852 Saw Mr Brooks today & was informed by him of the operations
of Mr Carnahan. I found it necessary to go to Murfreesboro & attend to the accts he
had in his hands. Went up on the evening train & remained all night. Found him sick
& could not get a settlement with him. He promised me however that he would attend
to it in the morning.
May 20th 1852 Went to see Mr Carnahan but did not settle. Left his accts
with Mr J B Palmer Esq with orders to settle immediately. Returned on the 10 oclock
train. Had a conversation with Mr F in which I became convinced of his intention to
discharge one or more of his clerks. I shall be one of them & as A J D has him so
bound that he would not dare to discharge him to save his soul I suppose that J W C
will be the other. He has acted a hypocritical part throughout & it will create but
little sensation on my part to leave.
May 21st 1852 The days pass as days always have done & the long looked for
time is drawing near as such times will do when I am to visit that one most dear &
and that other one scarcely less so. What will be the result of that visit? Shall
I be acknowledged unconditionally the accepted of her I love? Or will some providence whose decree I may not question say your hopes are built upon a sandy foundation. Such is life hope today & fear tomorrow. The prospects of today bright &
glorious over shadowed by the disappointments of tomorrow. But there is one thing
one feeling one pang that I have never felt. And most sincerely I think the great
giver of all good that I have been spared this. I have never yet felt one doubt of
the constancy of Sue. However I? I have another consolation. If any person marries
me it will be for love for I have nothing to recommend me.
May 24th 1852 Mr & Mrs F went to Nashville today. Maj Tucker went also.
Business dull. I have of late neglected to criticize my actions as closely as I
ought & find as a consequence that I am rather retrograding in the scale of morals.
I have been guilty of expressing myself rather too fiercely upon some subjects &
about some persons. I must guard myself more closely in future. The practice of
making remarks (even if true) prejudicial to the interest of others is certainly very
reprehensible. The evil is like many other a growing one. It lives to broils contentions & every thing else but good results. I am determined to never say one word
to anyone (that is not strictly in confidence) against any person whatever in future
& especially Mr F. Respect for his wife alone ought to be of itself a sufficient
reason for this.
May 27th 1852 Inconsequence of a conversation with Mr F last night we had
a settlement & I left his employment. Went to Jefferson to attend to some accts etc.
May 31st 1852 Started out on a collecting tour & succeeded in getting
enough to pay for my labor. Came home in the evening & then went to Mr Buells &
spent the night. They seem to be very kind people showing a great deal of hospitality in their treatment of their guests.
June 2nd 1852 Had a long conversation with Jas before leaving. He seems
to intertain some hopes of succeeding with Carrie notwithstanding all that I told
him. Verily a drowning man will catch at a straw. But what the straw is that he is
catching at is more than I can conceive. Came home before dinner & remained the
ballance of the day. Felt unwell from the effects of drinking too much cold water
yesterday.

Family Gatherings (continued)
June 5th 1852 After breakfast Mr Smith harnessed his horse to his buggy &
went to Jefferson also to the Sulphur Springs. Returned about one & went to John
Popes to get the note that he promised to give in place of those I now hold. He had
not got it endorsed & requested me to carry it to Jackson Smith for his signature.
I presented it to him but was told that he could not sign any more paper for him unless it was to renew notes that he was already on. Carried the note back to Mr Pope
& left it & went home. Saw J Elder on the way & dunned him for some money due Fleming. Was told to call Wednesday morning & he would pay the note. Went home & found
that Mr & Mrs Hazlewood had returned. Saw Caye & was told that he left the girls
well. Was again disappointed in not receiving a letter from them.
June 20th 1852 Remained at home all day in consequence of having no horse
to ride my horse being disabled. I have spent the day mostly in reading. Read one
of Smith's sermons on self examination which reminded me of a duty that I have neglected to much of late & in fact all my life. Upon entering into an examination of
my thoughts actions & feelings for the last few days I find that I have relaxed much
of my even ordinary diligence in self government. I find that I have permitted many
of those original sins such as pride anger envy hatred etc to grow spread their
branches deepen their roots & then sow the seeds of future anguish & bitterness of
soul. It seems as though with returning health all the evil habits & propensities
of my nature return with renewed strength. Instead of feeling more thankful more
willing to devote myself to the interests of religion of renewing my efforts for
greater holiness I find my desire for wealth for pleasure & self gratification continually increasing. I think a part of this may be attributed to the entire neglect
of my journal. The habit of noting down every day the transactions of the day the
faults that I have committed the sinful thoughts feeling passions & propensities
that I have indulged necessarily produces a kind of self examination that is always
beneficial especially if followed by resolutions of amendment honestly & prayerfully
made. My unsettled situation includes the possibility of attending to this as
closely as I could wish but still by improving every hour when I am at home I can
mostly overcome the difficulty. I received a letter from Sue a few days since in
which she requested an interest in my prayers.
June 21st 1852 Exceedlingly warm all day. C L Davis was here & settled
with Maj Tucker. Afterward he bought the mills etc of Maj Tucker. I assisted them
in their settlement for which I recd no thanks. Davis chd me $21 for hauling a load
of corn & fodder after I had worked 2 days on his mill accts. So the world goes.
Borrowed Brown's horse & rode to Ely Smiths & P/F Hayers and collected fifteen dollars of the former which was credited on H B Smiths note. In reviewing the transactions of the day I see much to condemn & little to approve.
Nov 15th 1852 (Gibson Co - Zion) After an unpardonable neglect and the
lapse of months during which some of the most important events of my life have transpired I again renew my acquaintance with you my good journal & ask a thousand pardon
for this unpardenable derilection from a known & palpable duty. And by way of remuneration for my neglect & as a thank offering for pardon granted I promise as full
a history of the past since the date of my last correspondance as my memory will
furnish. Well about the 10th of July I started for Fayette on a visit to -- but it
is unnecessary to say who as you can easily guess. Went in company with S L Trigg.
After a very pleasant journey I arrived in Fayette on the 15th. Found my friends all
at home Carrie well but Sue & Mary down with chills. Sue however was able to be up
but Mary I did not see for nearly a week. Notwithstanding the unfavorable situation
of the family I spent a few days very pleasantly. Having arranged the preliminaries
for future operations I left for Gibson Co for the purpose of making some arrangements for going into business. Arrived at Mr J S Smiths on Saturday & remained over
Sunday. Was very unwell both days. Monday I went to Mr Thos Bass's & in consequence
Fall 1990
125
of severe illness did not leave until the following Thursday. Spent some time in
the Co & saw many of my old acquaintances from Rutherford but did not find a situation or make any positive arrangements respecting one & started for home in company
with Mr Lane/Lune about the first of Aug. Was taken sick the first night after I
left but was able to pursue my journey home altho I suffered with fever very much
all the way. For nearly three weeks after I arrived at Maj Tuckers I was confined
to the house most of the time. When able to ride I attended to some business & was
soon ready to return to the District. It was arranged that Maj Tucker who was going
with me & myself should start the next Monday but he was taken sick the Saturday
preceding & was confined to the house most of the time for five weeks. The third of
Oct we started & went to Nashville where I bought a buggy etc to take with me to
Fayette. Nothing of particular interest occurred on the way. When we arrived in
Gibson Co we parted & after staying some three days I proceeded to Fayette whither
Maj T was to follow me. On the 12th of Oct I arrived at Mr Parks was cordially received & found my friends much improved from what they were when I left them. The
next day Oct 13th I went to Somerville procured the necessary documents secured the
services of the Rev Mr Sherill & returned in company with him & Mr J Newsom to Mr
Parks where we found a small company assembled to witness the interesting ceremony.
But what ceremony you ask? It is no longer a secret now so I will write it in full.
Listen. The marriage of Mr H K Northway to Miss Susan Emeline Parks. So my good
friend you see that I am a married man the prophecies of all the wise heads to the
contrary notwithstanding. Well to continue for I must be brief the following Monday Maj Tucker & Co Miss C McDowell & brother myself wife brother & sister left to
return to our several places of destination. We parted at Jackson Maj Tucker Carrie
Tucker & sister Mary proceeding on to.,Rutherford & the others to Gibson. We that is
Sue & myself went to Mr McDowels & remained about a week during which time I bought
a place in the Zion neighborhood rented a house & made arrangements to move there as
soon as possible. At the expiration 6f a week we returned to Mr P. We found him in
very bad health from the effects of a violent cold taken by going to Somerville. We
remained there a week & then returned to Zion bring our effects with us for the purpose of commencing to keep house on our own account. And here we have been quietly
domiciliated ever since meeting now & then a rugged eminence in the journey of life
but for the whole far greater reason for gratitude to an all wise God than for repining at the hardness of our fate. And now with a promise of less neglect in
future I bid you good night.
Nov 16th 1852 Cool & cloudy with a very little snow or sleet. Busied myself in repairing the fences & gates around the house.
Nov 17th 1852 Rainy in the morning & cool & cloudy all day. Went to Mr
Mc Dowells in the morning & from there to Trenton in the evening. Mr McD went with
me. Circuit Court met last Monday. Bought some things & returned to Mr McD's and
stayed all night.
Nov 18th 1852 Returned home in the morning & occupied myself repairing
gates fences etc. Mr Flynn, a Colporteur [a hawker of religious tracts and books]
in the employ of the Presbyterian church called in the evening & remained all night.
Nov 19th 1852 Remained at home till after dinner & then went to the saw
mill. Carried Sue & Cousin Rebbecca McDowell (who came home with us from her
father's) to Mr Edwards & left them till I returned. Miss Nancy Edwards came home
with us.
Nov 21st 1852 Cloudy in the morning & rained late in the evening. Mr F
Elder & J Wade called on Cousin R in the morning and Mr & Mrs Elder on Sue. Went to
preaching at a Baptist church. Heard a sermon from the Rev Mr Griffin Wright. Wm
Hazlewood came home with us to dinner & remained till after supper •• It was given
out at church that there would be a preaching at Zion next Saturday & Sabbath.

Nov 23rd 1852 Went to Lewis Wade's with W Hazlewood in the morning & got
a load of cotton seed. Had a violent headache in the evening. Sue & Cousin Rebecca

Nov 26th 1852 Cold raw day. Repaired the stables & fixed a place for the
buggy. Recd a letter containing a rect for Mr Lane from Sommerville. Sue also a
letter from the Church at Somerville written by Mr Sherill.
Nov 27th 1852 Went to Trenton on business but done nothing but buy a few
articles for family use. The agent for the Mobile & Ohio RR was in town proposing
to let contracts. He succeeded in letting some 10 or 15 miles of the road. Preaching at Zion today. Sue & Cous Rebecca went.
Nov 28th 1852 Arose too late as usual. Went to see Mr Mallet a mechanic

ADDITIONAL AGEE DATA -
Submitted by Ernest E. Fricks,
26 Windmill Dr., Clementon, NJ 08021
Mr. FRICKS received the following information from James H. SILER of Oak
after he read the Spring 1989 issue of "Ansearchin'" News. This data is
letter of Dr. Oliver K. AGEE of Maryville, TN in 1975. Dr. Agee gleaned
dates from a book by Dr. P.M. Agee, The Agee Family, which was privately
Independence, MO August 1937.
Park, IL
from a
the early
printed in
Mathieu Agee, born c1670 near Nantes, France, fled to Holland then England as a
Huguenot because of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He arrived at Manakin
near Richmond, VA about 1690 with his wife Ann GODWIN (GAUDOIN). Mathieu had four
children: Judith married an AUSTIN, Isaac, James and Anthony. James married a FORD
(FAURE) and had eleven·children. Anthony married a BINNION and had eleven children.
Isaac Agee (1751-1845), son of Anthony, lived in Buckingham Co VA and married Mary
SMITH who had eleven children. Most of their children appear in the Spring 1989
issue.
The lineage below is exclusively that of the distinguished Tennessee writer, James
Rufus Agee (1909-1955) who wrote A Death in the Family (a play and screen version
was called All the Way Home). Readers of the novel will recall that the writer's
father, called "Jay" in the novel, was killed in an automobile accident driving from
Knoxville to LaFollette to be with his father, Henry Clay Agee, who had just suffered a stroke. One of the most poignant stories was that of Rufus visiting his
great grandmother "up in the mountains". This was supposedly his grgrmother "Lynch"
as he called the Agees and was Mary (COMER) Agee. Dr. 011ver K. Agee wrote that
this episode was pure fiction. The automobile accident of the author's father, however, was not fiction and strongly marked James R. Agee for the rest of his life.
James Agee, son of Isaac and Mary Smith, was born 9 Jul 1788 VA and died Campbell
Co TN 10 May 1843. He married Mary TUDOR and had six children.
James Harris Agee, son of James and Mary Tudor, was born 14 Feb 1827 and died
8 Oct 1899. He married Mary Comer and had eleven children (a favorite family number)
Henry Clay Agee was born 3 Apr 1852 and died 9 Jun 1916. He married Mary
LAMAR and had eight children.
Hugh James Agee was born 17 Apr 1878 and died 18 May 1916. He married
Laura TYLER of Knoxville, daughter of Joel and Emma Tyler. Their son was James
Rufus Agee, the writer.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MILITARY NAME LISTS FROM PRE-1675 TO 1900: A Guide to Genealogical Sources by
Lois Horowitz. 1990. Hard back, 5ixsi, IllS pp. Order from Scarecrow Press, Inc., 52 Liberty
St., P.O. Box 4167, Metuchen, NJ OSS40.
$99.50
This impressive tome is representative of the more sophisticated research tools required by today's genealogists. The annotated bibliography is the first of a series. More than 400 genealogy and history periodicals have been searched for materials listing military men in America's
wars whether their names appeared on tombstones or in roster lists, pension records, reunion
rosters or old newspapers. The work is arranged chronologically by war, then alphabetically by
state and county. Entries for the Civil War are also classified by regiment. Under each war
there are entries by geographic region.
SCOTTISH-AMERICAN HEIRS 1683-1883 by David Dobson. 1990. Hard back, 5ixsi. Indexed, 165 pp.
Order from Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202. $21.50
These 2657 abstracts of Scottish-Americans are taken from official inquests held at the time of
a landowners death in order to establish the credentials of the heirs. This procedure was
known as the Services of Heirs and the records are kept at the Scottish Record Office in Edinburgh. As a rule the abstract will contain name of deceased, occupation, residence in Scotland,
date, and relationship to the heirs; and for the heirs it will contain name, occupation, place
of residence in America as well as relationship to the deceased.
ORANGE COUNTY ROAD ORDERS 1750-1800 by Ann Brush Miller. 19S9. Soft back, Sixll. Indexed, 394
pp. For current price list and availability contact: Historic Roads of Virginia, Virginia Transportation Research Council, Box 3Sl7, University Station, Charlottesville, VA 22903.
In 1781 Thomas Jefferson reminded the State of Virginia that the county courts were responsible
for the building and maintenance of public roads and bridges. Each road was opened and maintained by an Overseer of Highways who was usually assigned all the "Labouring Male Tithebles"
living on or near the road. Although the boundaries of Orange County had shrunk since its inception in 1734, it still contained Greene County during the period covered. Road arteries
connecting with Orange County are also included. The index is divided into the categories of:
personal names; bridges; houses, lands, plantations, quarters; mountains, gaps; rivers, runs,
springs, swamps; roads; neighborhoods, towns, landmarks; geographic features, ordinaries and
ordinary licenses; ferries; mills; chapels, churches, glebes and meeting houses.
WHITE COUNTY TENNESSEE 1870 FEDERAL CENSUS USA compiled and published by Joyce Bradley McComb.
1990. Soft back, acid-free paper, Sixll. Indexed, lS6 pp. Order from compiler, 1730 Jessamine
Rd., Lexington, SC 29073. $21.00 now; $23.00 as of 1 Feb 1991
The compiler states the census was taken directly from the microfilm records into her computer.
There is a rather unusual indexing system as the entries begin with #1 and all succeeding families are entered in numerical sequence regardless of surname spelling. Indexing follows the
same system rather than page numbers; for instance: Adkins is family #1085 and Alexander is
#111. Ms. McComb will send a computer printout of surnames being researched to any purchaser
without charge upon request with a SASE. Information given in the census includes: Surname,
Given name, Age, Sex, Race, Occupation, Place of birth, District and miscellaneous data.
MORGAN COUNTY MISSOURI MARRIAGE RECORDS 1833-1893 by Sherida K. Eddlemon.
1990. Soft back,
5ixs. Indexed, 131 pp. Order from Heritage Books, Inc., l540-E Pointer Ridge Place, Suite 300,
Bowie, MD 20716. $15.00
Ms. Eddlemon's latest work is a compilation of marriage records for Morgan County, Missouri,
which was formed in 1833 from the southern portion of Cooper County. In addition to the names
of the bride and groom and date of the marriage, some miscellaneous genealogical information is
included. There may be a large span of time between the date of marriage and the date it was
recorded since many of the marriages were performed by circuit riders. Some marriages were recorded in other counties while others were never recorded.

KINSHIP It's All Relative by Jackie Smith Arnold.
1990. Soft back, 5ffX8ff, 66 pp. Order from
Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21202.
$6.95
This very readable book is both a sociological treatise and a genealogical handbook. It acquaints the reader with sociological vocabulary, such as: cognate, agnate, matriarchial, patrilineal, etc.; and also provides kinship charts with explanations of relationships. Legal and
social definitions of family and kinship are included.
THE SURVIVORS-MY ANCESTORS by Justine P. Snipes. 1986. Hard back, 8ffXll.
Order from the author, 1600 South Eads St., Arlington, VA 22202. $35.00
Indexed, 216 pp.
Akers, Anderson, Christy, Drennon, Harvey, Jones, Linds~y, Rodgers, Short, Snipes, Smith, Wagster, and related families are the subjects of this family book. Since the original families
were of Scot, English and Welsh backgrounds, the volume contains an interesting introduction
concerning the origins and definitions of these names. Cumberland County in the Province of
Pennsylvania was the area settled by a Scotch-Irish group containing the Christy and Drennon
families. An excellent historical background explaining the migrations of the Scots to Ireland and the subsequent immigration of these "Scotch-Irish" to America is included.
DEED BOOK 7 AND DEED BOOK 8 AMELIA COUNTY, VIRGINIA Deeds 1759-1765 abstracted and compiled by
Gibson Jefferson McConnaughey. 1990. Soft back, 8ffXllff. Indexed, 183 pp. Order from MidSouth Publishing Co., P.O. Box 659, Amelia, VA 23002.
$21.75 (VA residents add 90¢ sales tax)
These abstracts were taken from the original handwritten deed books in the Amelia Clerk's office rather than from copies. Many deeds show names of wives, occupations of grantors and
grantees, and family relationships. A number of Powers of Attorney and Apprenticeships are
also among the deeds. Early records of Nottoway County are included since it was not separated from Amelia County until 1789.
ENGLISH SURNAMES: Their Sources and Significations by Charles Wareing Bardsley. 1990 (1898 Reprint). Soft back, 5ffX8. Indexed, 612 pp. Order from Heritage Books, Inc., l540-E Pointer
Ridge Place, Suite 300, Bowie, MD 20716. $38.00
Reprinted from the 1898, 6th Edition book, which was published by Chatto & Vindus, London,
this book contains the Prefaces of the first, second, third and fifth editions. The popular
work provides a comprehensive discussion of surname origins with chapters of patronymic surnameS, locality-derived surnames, surnames based on office, surnames from occupations and
nicknames. There are many examples and illustrations, and an "Index of Instances" which cites
the sources where specific surnames were found in ancient documents. Since the book is a
general study of surnames, it complements Bardsley's other books: The Romance of the London
Directory and A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames With Special American Instances, which
is a quick reference to the meaning and location of a surname.

Order from compiler, 408 W. Garden St.,
Included in this book are 1250 descendants of John and Margaret Dysart Nichol of Magherabeg,
Fahan Parish County Donegal, Ireland. Two of their sons, Josiah and John Nichol, emigrated
from Donegal in the late 1780's and settled first near Saltville, VA. By 1802 they were living
in Knox Co TN, and by 1805 in Nashville. The author uses an alphabetical system of identification beginning with "A" for the prime progenitor and a descending letter combination for their
descendants. An interesting background on why the Scots went to Ulster and then to America is
given. Very good documentation is footnoted throughout the book, and a number of photographs
and family charts are included. A few of the family names are: Chamberlain, Dunn, Crockett,
Foster, Hightower, Lytle, Vaulx and Warren.

speaking ancestors with source materials in each area. Part 3 has key source materials broken
down into regions and each region into states. This material includes census indexes, mortality
schedules, biographies, land acquisitions, early settlers, local records, periodicals and

FOUR GENERATIONS OF HUNTER FAMILY
Mrs. Patricia LaPointe, librarian in the History Department of the Memphis/Shelby County Library
and Information Center, Memphis, TN, found in the 23 Jul 1914 Commercial Appeal newspaper a four
generation picture of a McNairy Co TN family taken on the 90th birthday of H.A. HUNTER.
The caption reads "The above four generations represent one of the oldest and most prominent
families in McNairy County. They are H.A. Hunter, Mrs. John H. Steadman, Charles B. Steadman
and Hunter M. Steadman, all of Selmer. Mr. Hunter was born in Madison County, Tenn., and removed to McNairy in 1838. He has been a resident of Selmer 21 years. He has two children,
Mrs. Steadman and Mrs. J.B. Maxedon of Selmer, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
He joined the Methodist Church in 1837. Mr. Steadman is one of the most prominent merchants in
Selmer. This group was taken Monday, July 13, the day Mr. Hunter celebrated his 90th birthday.

WHAT IS THE TENNESSEE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY?
The Society is a non-profit organization formed in 1952 by local people who were
interested in genealogical study and who wanted to collect and preserve genealogical
records. Many books were purchased, used by the members and then donated to the
Memphis Public Library, until the dream of housing our own collection became a reality in 1970.
The Society receives no government funds or grants, depending entirely on the income
from the sales of its publications and projects - all manned by unpaid volunteers.
A subscription to our quarterly, The Tennessee Genealogical Magazine, "ANSEARCHIN'"
NEWS, is currently $15.00 and entitles one to:
1) all four issues of the current year, a total of 200 pages plus index;
2) exchange privileges from the Master Surname Index, a card file of ancestral
information submitted by members and subscribers (must enclose a selfaddressed, stamped envelope);
3) one query of 50 words or less published in "ANSEARCHIN'" NEWS;
4) use (for research only) of the library maintained and operated by the Society
at the Deerfield Building, 3340 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN (open Tuesdays and
Thursdays mid-January to mid-November 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.)
Active membership is open to those persons interested in genealogical study who live
in the Memphis metropolitan area and who have been recommended by an active member
in good standing. This status entitles one to the above privileges of subscribers
as well as the opportunity to borrow books from the organization's library, to vote,
to hold office, to serve on committees and to take an active part in the functions
of the Society.
Projects of the Society are not limited to subscribers.
They include:
1) the sale of all back issues of "ANSEARCHIN'" NEWS, Tennessee-related material
published since 1954, and protected by copyright;
2) the sale of books published by the Society, or by friends who have donated
them (not necessarily limited to Tennessee);
3) Certificate of Tennessee Ancestry, issued by this Society upon application and
receipt of documented proof of descent from a Tennessean prior to 1880
(send legal-sized, self-addressed, stamped envelope for further information);
4) biennial workshops and seminars.
The Tennessee Genealogical Society does not accept fees for queries or Master
Surname Index research, those privileges being reserved for subscribers and active
members.
The Society, which is governed by a Board of Directors elected biennially by the
active membership, is chartered by the State of Tennessee.
The Tennessee Genealogical Society has the following publications for sale:
