1. research tibit [1]
This is an interesting little site set in Mecklenburg County, NC. It is the home page of the James Latta Plantation, active in the early 1800s which is now a living history site. What makes this an interesting site is that it does more than just show off the plantation house...it has a little history of the area, of various types of people, planters, small farmers, slaves, and helps give you an idea of the look and feel of what life might have seemed like at a time when many of our ancestors were starting

3. Re: Family trails [1]
Hi, my ancestor Col.& Gov. John Sevier was sent to Virginia Military Institute by the Va. Governor. When John married Sarah Hawkins she 15, she 17, the Governor sent him to Fort Watauga, thinking it was in Virginia. North Carolina and Virginia had conflicting claims to East Tennessee. At one time Blount County may have overlapped Louden County. Sometimes, when either State was asked to spend money on anything overmountain, they passed the buck. Fort Louden, Tennessee is near the old town of Landin in Clevel

To Jim Blease Hey, in the last almost 50 years you have been gone from Fort Hood, Killeen has changed. Changed a lot. You would not recognize it. It is now a very modern up to date city. Thanks to Fort Hood. And I hope a better place to live than when you were there. Sorry about your bad experience with that area of our great state.

8. Problem with link to Moore Diary [1]
Sorry folks -- but I promise the link below WAS working when I sent it to the list earlier this morning. I know 'cause I tested it umpteen times before I sent it. Now it doesn't work for me, so I assume it's not working for y'all either? When I searched for it just now, it showed up at >> http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/tx+index+229286723835+F which is a different "address" than the one that was working at 130 am -- http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/tx+

Many thanks to all you responded for imfo on the Shannons. I remember my grandfather Shannon so well. He grew up in the 1860s when Texas had a booming cattle industry and he hustled cattle up the trail to Kansas. I used to sit with him inthe 1930s in Alamo Plaza across from the Alamo. Nearby was Joske Bros'. with a great sign on its roof made of lights showing a cowboy on horseback chasing and roping a steer. Grandpa was close to 80s and loved that sign because it seem to represnt his youth in the earl

13. 1839 Travel Diary Tenn to Texas [1]
A cousin of mine directed me to a webpage with a wonderful 1839 DIARY written by Clinton Harrison MOORE. The descriptions that Mr. Moore gives about his journey from Tennessee to Texas are fabulous. I found the Diary especially interesting because when he finally settled around the Austin, Texas, area, he met a BARTON family and stayed there. This Diary really makes history come alive, and gives one an outstanding picture of the times of the early Texas Republic. It also lets one know what trav

18. Re: Valentine Sevier [1]
Hi, not sure, but I think you are right. John had a brother and a son named Valentine. Seems one of his brothers passed the name on to some of his kin. As you know, one of his half Cherokee grandsons was Arkansas Governor and Sevier County, Arkansas, near Texarkana, is named for him. Another of his descendants Augustus King was Missouri Governor and carpetbaggers were so bent to point blame fingers while stealing everything in sight that a group of this King family came to Erath County, Stephenville, Texa

I have just received some great new info on my Burnham family and will be happy to share if anyone connects. If anyone out there has Burnham, Cartright or Gambling families from NC please contact me to see if we connect. Some of the Burnham names are Isaac/Benjamin/Gabriel/John. Some of the Burnham's migrated to St Francois County, MO by way of TN. Another group went to GA. Judy

This is a great site for people doing research in Texas...it's a searchable atlas of historical tidbits, including national historical sites for the state, searchable by county, keyword or address. Sometimes, you can hit real pay dirt in genealogical information...definitely worth checking out. http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/ Sue

Check the Tennessee State Library and Archives site at http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/tslahome.htm They have posted some business from the Legislature of those early years, and adoptions might have been handled that way. You can also e-mail the TSL&A from their web page to check on where this info might be available. Joyce
