"Ansearchin'" News
OVER THE EDITOR'S DESK
Here it is Springtime again and we all have thoughts of traveling to
different states, conty courthouses and libraries, in search of that elusive
"missing link." You will find some seminars and family reunions listed in the
"MARK YOUR CALENDAR" section on page forty-four. Your answer could be there.
The mail that crosses our desk is, as usual, varied and interesting. We
are always pleased to hear from subscribers with suggestions, compliments and
even complaints. A suggestion from Virginia Curnutt Lanning of Hobbs, NM.
touches on a situation encounted in books and periodicals more often than we
like . . . the
of names copied from headstones in a cemetery. In
order to place family members together, it would be more helpful if a cemetery
were read and printed as a grid, with a stated beginning and ending point. Ms
Lanning made the same observation about census records. You will note that in
"Ansearchin"'News we print an 1840 census exactly as it is, page by page.
And even though the person recording the names on a tax list may alphabetize
within a District, we print each District as it appears on the film. It
always helps your genealogy to know, not only all the relatives in a given
location, but the friends and neighbors as well.
The importance of reading and comparing records was pointed out by Mr.
Gene Fricks of Clementon, NJ. He noticed a connection between Roane County
Courts Minutes 1801-1805 (last issue p. 159) and Petition 26-2-1801 (last
issue p. 172) concerning a division of Knox Co. Mr. Fricks observed that many
of the names on the petition were found later in Roane County, which was
formed from Knox and Blount in 1801.
Another letter announces the new Elliott family newsletter "ELLIOTT 'n'
KIN", whose purpose is the collection and interchange of family history and
genealogical data about Elliotts and their related lines. It will be
published four times a year in February, May, August and November at a cost of
$6 per year. Contact John Burrows, 815 Hartsook Blvd., Roanoke, VA 24014.
The Tennessee Genealogical Society Library receives many family
newsletters which are placed in binders on the shelves of the library. Since
these are donated, you will find information on each one every year in our
"NEWS AND NOTES" section of this magazine. Mary Ann Hollifield, family
historian for the family of John and Sara Martin, sent a letter thanking us
for this service in exchange for the newsletter, "The Martin Express". For
information on Martin family reunions write Mr. & Mrs. Larry Martin, 1508
Apache St., Arlington, TX 76012
How can you please Civil War buffs and computer "nuts" at the same time?
During the next two years, hundreds of genealogists, history buffs and others,
will be typing the names of 3.5 million blue and grey soldiers onto computer
diskettes. By early 1996, Americans will be able to find out their ancestors'
links to the war by searching for their names and regiments on computers at
the National Park Service's 28 Civil War sites. These include two major
battle sites in the Mid-South: Shiloh, in Hardin Co, TN, and Vicksburg, Ms.

THE YOUNG LADIES' MODEL SCHOOL OF FAYETTE COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Prepared by Dorothy Marr Roberson
Files of the Fayette County Library in Somerville, TN, contain an 1857 school
catalogue that provides a good insight into that era's formula for turning out model
young ladies. Officials of the Young Ladies' Model School make it clear in the
catalogue that each pupil boarding in the institute is expected to "deport herself
with that degree of complaisance which marks the conduct of the true lady."
The catalogue, printed in Memphis by A T Norton & Co., was donated to the library a
number of years ago by Mrs. Jim Clay of Oakland, TN. It spells out rules and regulations for students, and lists the school's 9 trustees, 16 teachers, and 264
students as well as their parents and residences. Tuition for each 21-week session
ranged from $16 to $21, with an additional $2 for supplies. Students enrolled in
the "ornamental branches" of art and music were charged another $10 to $30 per
session. Board, including a furnished room and lights, was $50 to $60 a session.
Each pupil was required to supply her own towels and table napkins, and parents were
admonished not to supply their daughters with sweetmeats and acids "as they are
fruitful sources of evil." Party-going was considered a serious evil and was
strictly forbidden. Students were allowed to visit town only once a month and had
to be accompanied by the lady or gentleman with whom they boarded.
The school evolved from a female seminary established by the Town Commissioners in
1831, and was in operation until the turn of the century. It had various names,
the best known probably being the Somerville Female Institute.

FAMILY GATHERINGS
Prepared For Publication By Mary Florence Peek Ray
BRITTON LANE BATTLEFIELD:
Submitted by J. 0. Ray, 430 Cecilia Dr.
Memphis, TN 38117
One of the Civil War battles fought September 1, 1862, has left an almost
forgotten landmark. This was remembered on the 130th anniversary September 1992 at
Denmark, Madison Co, Tennessee. The anniversary was celebrated by a battle between
Federal and Confederate forces re-enactors. Living as the original combatants did,
wearing the same type of uniforms [wool!], and using the same type of weapons,
including artillery [only with blanks!], they have preserved the drill and tactics
of the time and given modern Americans a flavor of the Civil War period.
In a September 1993 week-end re-enactment of the battle, which took place near
Jackson TN, members of Wolf River Pipes and Drums visited Denmark Presbyterian
Church which began on Cub Creek in 1821. The occasion was the reopening of the old
church, which had been renovated and restored to its 1884 appearance, the year the
present building was constructed. In the upper story of the building was a hall
used by local Freemasons and Woodmen of the World Camp No. 193. The church was
placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, the first church in
Madison County to be so honored. Further, it is the oldest church in the Memphis
Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church. The pews are the original ones that were
made for the building, although the gates are now gone.
For one night, in 1862 the Masonic Hall was used as a prison for eighty-seven
Federal captives after the battle of Britton Lane. Another Civil War memory is

THE COMMERICAL APPEAL, MEMPHIS, TN
15 Mar 1994
125 YEARS AGO - March 15, 1869
Washington - The House Census Committee has decided to establish a separate
Census Bureau. It was shovm that under the old system of taking the census through
the United States marshals, numerous frauds were perpetrated.
In some districts thousands of names in excess of the population were
reported and the marshals were paid for them. There will be no more fees for census
takers, as the committee has determined to fix their salaries.

TENNESSEANS' TOMBSTONES FOUND I N CALIFORNIA
Joy BURKHOLDER of Greenville, California, reports finding tombstones for several
Tennesseans during her wanderings in some old cemeteries in her home county of
Plumas in northeast California. The Tennesseans are believed to have settled in
Plumas County during the Gold Rush of the 18501s, ot soon after, and their families
may never have heard of their deaths.
"Most of the people who were buried in these cemeteries (long out of use) most likely were not listed in the California state records - partly because of the early
dates and partly because of the unorganized towns at that time," she writes.
Prattville Cemetery, just off Highway 89/70 (orginally located in Big Meadows, was
moved to its present site when the area was made into the reservoir now known as
Lake Almanor) had fhe following tombstone:
Thomas HENDERSON - Native of Tennessee
Died 11 August 1909, age 78 years
(No other Henderson markers were found.)
Cromber Cemetery in Cromberg, California, just off Highway 89, had the following:
Jackson C. REID, Sr. - Native of Tennessee
Born in 1893, Died in 1950
Jackson Reid, Jr, Born 1923, Died 1938
Richard John Reid, Born 1927, Died 1963
(The sons were apparently California natives)

INDEX T O PROBATE RECORDS IN MEMPHISISHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE ARCHIVES
Contributed by Mary Louise Graham Nazor
The Index to Probate Records in Memphis/Shelby County, Tennessee Archives includes the names of
Deceased, Administrators, Executors, Guardians, relatives, persons of the same surname, witnessess to wills and persons or places of special interest. Some estates contain many more
names, such as lists of persons who purchased at a sale. These are not included in the index.
The ID (Identification) column indicates the relationship of that person to the deceased. Beside the normal abbreviations, two additional ones were used: frmly = formerly and decd =
alternate spelling of deceased surname. See Vol. 36, No 3, 1989 page 105 for photocopy information; the address for the Memphis/Shelby County, Tennessee Archives is 33 South Front Street,
Memphis, TN 38103.

In Gherokee & P-cestrp,
Sandi Garrett has traced her family history using reproductions
of Department of the Interior records, such as applications for enrollment as Cherokee citizens.
Other sources include marriage licenses, birth & death certificates, testimony for Dawes enrollment, and Cherokee Nation census. Charts are used to explain relationships, and photographs and
maps illustrate the text. Also included are explanations of terms associated with Cherokee research. Family names included are: Adair, Harlan, Starr, Alberty, Field, Hood, McDonald, Scott,
Bean, and Ghi-ga-u (Nancy Ward). The author invites any one interested to send her an S.A.S.E.;
she will verify the family link before the book is purchased.
In Qnly The & m e s Remain, Mrs. Garrett has compared names on the Drennen Roll of 1851 and the
Guion Miller Applications which date from 1906 to 1910. The Drennen Roll was made up of those
forced to remove from the Cherokee Nation East and those who voluntarily moved before the forced
removal. These rolls were taken to identify persons entitled to money owed the Cherokees for
one reason or another. In comparing the two lists she has identified, when possible, the
relationship of one list to the other. The author plans to publish more districts in future
volumns .

Volumes A-D have been abstracted, transcribed, annotated, and indexed. All names have been
included when possible. Many of the cases deal with property and the settling of estates, and
names of heirs and relationships are included. For the genealogist, the information is a useful
tool in untangling family lines. The original minutes can be viewed on film at the Tennessee
State Library and Archives in Nashville and at area libraries. The author urges anyone who
plans to cite her transcription to view the primary source, and also to investigate other
sources in the Inventory for Jackson County Records at the State Library in Nashville. She asks
to be notified of any errors found in her work.

New to family historians, these County and Circuit Court Minutes were abstracted from microfilm
in chronological order. A11 of the county court business for the years 1816-1828 is included.
Divorces, administration of estates, deed of conveyance, debts, jury lists, insolvents, and law
suits are some of the areas which came under the courts jurisdiction. County maintenance was
also one of the areas of court responsibility. Citizens called to oversee the roads are listed.
All names from the original minutes are included. Family connections are revealed in guardianships and paternity suits.

This family history includes Swedish Gustafssons from the area which became Pennysylvania and
English Justices from Virginia. Both were in the colonies in the seventeenth century. The text
concentrates on the coastal tier of colonies, later states, tracing the families over several
centuries. Members of both families moved into Tennessee, the Gustafssons usually spelling
their name Justus. The index is unique in giving a birth date for each Justis/Gustafsson, which
is designed to simplify the research. Illustrated with photographs, copies of newspaper items,
deeds, and other documents. Each chapter is completed with a bibliography.
