Re: Diana's Roots are from Hawkins Co., TN - Hollis GentryYou are welcome. But remember that you need to follow up with finding the family in records before accepting it as gospel. For the most part, the family is easy to locate in Hawkins County records from the 19th century up to 1910. In a quick search I could not locate the family in 1920, as the clues..  Re: Diana's Roots are from Hawkins Co., TN - Hollis GentryWell how much of your oral history have you researched? Have you found your family in records to support the names, places, dates and migration? If you haven't, and then when you do, you simply need to show your family the correct information. Although you are disappointed, it would seem that your f..

Re: Digital Library on American Slavery (Searchabl - Ruth SolomonI forgot about this, but as soon as I saw your message I tried it and wow it works!

I found a petition on John SPrings who BIG SURPRIZE filed a petition related to slaves he purc..  Re: Who were Free People of Color? - H.T. LaTourI think on should use the grandfather clause, 1939, to determine if they are a descendant of a Free Person. If the veterans were qualified to vote prior to 1866, their descendants were also qualified. Thus, in effect, if a person's grandfather could vote, he could vote without further restrictions. ..  Nancy in Mecklenburg cty NC owned by Springs famil - Ruth SolomonI have been tracing my gggggrandmother, Nancy Springs, 1780-1879 who was owned by a member of the Springs family (John Brisbane Springs, 1784-1837/47).

Re: [Events] My Messages - richard mannJoseph, keep writing I don't agree with you sometime but without your advocacy this forum would be pretty dead.
