(Rose-Anne and Billie--I love the Knox site!) I'm a new subscriber to this Knox Co. list. I'm searching for information on Margaret Glenn Wills that married John Dick in Knox Co. in 1820. They had one son, Peter. John died in 1822, and Margaret remarried Henry Cook and moved to NC. Was Margaret the daughter of Lewis and Catherine Dick Wills or John and Mary Snodgrass Wills??? Thanks and...Happy 2000!

TN in 1825. The date the clerk issued the marriage license was 2/28/1825. There was also a cover page on which the minister or justice of the peace had written " I honorably certify that I have celebrated the rites of matrimony between the within named on the 29th day of February 1825". The problem is that 1825 was not a leap year, so there was no 29th day of Feb! My question is, could they have been married on the same day the license was issued, or would it have had to have been the next day which would have been March 1? I also found the date listed as 2/29/1825 in a book "Early Marriages of Knox Co." Does anyone have any suggestions how I can find out? The copy of the marriage license was obtained through the East Tn Archives in Knoxville. Thank you, Carol ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 19:52:38 -0800 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Hodges mystery We've come across a fabulous heirloom at our shop. It's about 2 feet x 3 feet, fancy Victorian framed, printed with gold lettering on black paper, death memorial with this inscription: Dear Parents Thomas Hodges died February 1893 age 84 (b. 1809) Catherine Hodges died February 1892 age 65 (b. 1827) I've found a potential family in the 1850 Jefferson County census: Thomas Hodge, age 38 (b. 1812) wife Catherine, age 25 (b. 1825) Sarah, age 7 Rufus M., age 6 Mary A., age 5 Thomas, age 3 Nancy, age 1 They lived between Augustus French's family and Henry Van Dyke's family. Please pass this around to Hodge(s) researchers you may know of. We'd like for this treasure to find its way back into the family fold, rather than the hands of a collector. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 00:37:52 -0800 From: "Billie R.

Please don't post any messages to the list for about a half hour before and after that time, so that your important thoughts won't get lost! Enjoy the new year -- and we'll quietly celebrate the beginning of the new millennium in 366 days (remember next year's a leap year!).

Enclosed with this memo is a "Y2K Backup System" device designed to meet short time emergency needs in case of a computer operations failure, or operational delay. This device is the company's Primary Emergency Network Computer Interface Liaison device (P.E.N.C.I.L.). This device has been field tested extensively, including certification testing, as well as volume and stress testing. Properly maintained, the device meets all the requirements for coding and data input. Prior to use, the (P.E.N.C.I.L.) will require preparation and testing. Tools and supplies required will be: A sharpened knife or grinding device; and a supply of computer paper (with or without holes). Gripping the device firmly in your hand, proceed to scrape or grind the wooded end until it has a cone-like appearance. The dark core area must be exposed to properly function. Place a single sheet of computer paper on a smooth, hard surface. Take the backup device, place the sharpened point against the paper, and pull it across the paper. If properly done, this will input a single line. CAUTION: Excessive force may damage components of the device or damage the data reception device. If either the P.E.N.C.I.L. or the paper are damaged, go back to the preparation instructions above. Proper use of the device will require data simulation input by the operator. Placing the device against the computer page forming symbols as closely resembling the computer lettering system you normally use. At the completion of each of the simulated letters, lift the device off the page, move it slightly to the right, replace it against the page, and form the next symbol. This may appear tedious, and somewhat redundant, but, with practice, you should be able to increase your speed and accuracy. The P.E.N.C.I.L. is equipped with a manual deletion device. The device is located on the reverse end of the P.E.N.C.I.L. Error deletions operate similarly to the "backspace" key on your computer. Simply place the device against the erroneous data, and pull it backwards over the letters. This should remove the error, and enable you to resume data entries. CAUTION: Excessive force may damage the data reception device. Insufficient force, however, may result in less than acceptable deletion, and may require re-initialization of action as above. This device is designed with user maintenance in mind. However, if technical support is required, you can still call your local computer desk supervisor at (800)-YOU-DUMMY.
