If you have Tennessee roots you will be interested in a new publication
titled "The Reconstructed 1810 Census of Tennessee." To be published in
June, this 600-page volume will include more than 30,000 records of citizens
of Tennessee in 1810. Since nearly all of the original census was destroyed
many years ago, this reconstructed census will be an invaluable research tool.
The work is based on names extracted from tax lists, court minutes, church
records, wills, deeds and other sources

Dear Ms. Burnett,
Thank you for your generosity of spirit in remembering the fallen around the
world, and for reminding us that we are a nation which welcomes and embraces
"your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
I have the utmost respect and admiration for the men and women who take up

they see as their own just causes, whether I personally agree with that

tombstone is about .4 mi. north of the C
Yes, I am most interested in the Allen of DeKalb County. My great-grandmother
was Charity Elizabeth Allen and her father was John Allen, I believe. I have

My DeKalb Allens include Archer Allen b. 1817 in NC and his wife Elizabeth
Jones b. TN. Their children were James W., Francis Marion, Henry, Elizabeth &
Minerva. This line can be found in DeKalb and Smith counties through the
1940's.
Hope this helps.

Samuel Jackson, born about 1799 in SC according to 1850 census, died
before 1870 based on second wife appearing in 1870 census alone. His
occupation was listed as Marketer in 1850 census. John Farmer of
Tipton Co. TN deeded to Samuel Jackson 100 acres on Smith's Fork on 3
