McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Fwd: poster and banner size family charts I'm not vouching for this service -- I just found it in a USEnet newsgroup and thought I'd forward it on. ================================================= I wanted to print my family tree on one page and could not & figured most genealogist couldn't either. So I started this service for us: http://www.familytreeprinter.com/ We can print most people's family tree on one page. The paper sizes range from 16.5" x 23.4" to 46" wide by 60" long . We can make banners up to 20 feet long! The print quality is the best in the industry at 1440 x 1440 dpi in Color. All paper is acid-free -- archival quality. While you research you tree, we can make a Research Print in an inexpensive draft quality. Take this to your family gathering & write all over it. When your research is complete, we can make art-worthy prints on Photo or Matte quality paper. Please visit our site at: http://www.familytreeprinter.com Let us know what you think about our site & product. We want this site to be made by and for genealogists. site.suggestions@familytreeprinter.com Thank You Very Much, John C. Orlando, Partner. john@familytreeprinter.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 18:46:27 EST From: DCMowery@aol.com Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Mary Crockett-Knoxville I'm looking for information on Mary (Polly) Fleshart Crockett and family of Knoxville. Children: Joseph H. Crockett b. 1823 m. Eliza P. White Mary Belinda Crockett b. 1826 m. James H. Renshaw Elizabeth Jane Crockett b. 1830 m. John T. Marley Samuel H. Crockett b. 1833 m. Seraphina Renshaw Mary purchased the former home of James White, founder of Knoxville, from the Beardens in 1828. Seems like my father told me the homesite had been torn down to make room for more building by UT. I think she died about 1850 in Knoxville and was a member of the 1st Presbyterian Church. Her son, Joseph, and his brother-in-law were both Knoxville aldermen and owned a furniture and undertaker business together. Thanks for any help.

From: "j" <unicorn@sun-spot.com> Thoughts on Renewal and the Legacy To Survive (from the "Sunday Afternoon Rocking" series) Afternoon All, As spring begins to open its doors, tiny green buds appear on the bushes and trees outside my window, promises of flowers are fresh upon the limbs...I think of renewal. And because a new family member is well on his way to appearance, and with his birth may claim the legacy that I and others have so gently cupped in our hearts for so long and wish to give him to carry on, I think of renewal yet again. I think often how spring never fails us, a welcome relief after the dreary days of bare branches, gray skies, and browned deadened grass.... and I think how renewal in a family rarely fails as well. How happy we are at a birth...at the welcoming of yet another to take his or her place in a long chain of people who have called one another their "own"! I think births in a family are probably in many ways a richer and more meaningful experience for the elders of a family than any other...because they, more than any other, can grasp how wondrous it is that two people they remembered were the beginnings and the seeds for the growing of a tree that can branch out beyond our imaginations... And I think of the legacy that is the birthright to each of those born...how they will not know it for a very long time, may never grasp in their hearts how wonderous and awesome that legacy really is (no matter WHAT family it belongs to)....but then again, how with maturity and insight they may well one day grow into it...even NEED it. Our legacies, no matter who we are or what family we spring from, are rich ones. They are rich with history, rich with lessons. They are rooted in and spring from the fat, black, rich soil of experience...and if we added all the years of all the lives of those who preceeded us together, what a wealth of years of experience in life we would have! And if we truly looked beyond the names, the dates, the FACTS....and tried to genuinely understand what it was to walk in the shoes of those who came before, what the events of their lives had to teach, what they learned (or did not learn) from those events....what rich insight we would have into our own experience! All of us have within those legacies folks we can be proud of, folks who lived their beliefs and convictions, folks who in many cases died for those convictions. All of us have within our legacies simple folks who lived and died unknown and unproclaimed, but ones that lived close to the earth and close to the knowledge of their responsibilities...and who were simply because they WERE "simple folks", folks we can learn from and be proud of. All of us have within our legacies those "black sheep", folks who lived lives of bitter lessons, and perhaps never learned the truth of those lessons....and yet, they too make our legacy rich. If there is a heritage I can pass on to this child about to make his appearance in this world, the other descendents that are born, and those yet to be born....let it be more than documentation of the lines that preceeded. Let it be more than names, dates, places, and "facts". Let it be the stories, the true ones, of their lives...let it be the lessons presented that I know of, let it be my own thoughts on those lessons and the thoughts of others who examine those lessons. And may the word be passed down with our genealogical lines, that the family's wish is that we grasp ALL of our ancestors, the good and the bad, cup them gently in our hearts and minds...and learn from them. Let us each choose the attributes we want to carry on, adopting with pride those things that were good and meaningful, those attributes that meant this person left our world "a better place". Let us learn from those who lived less than worthy lives, and not allow that characteristic to survive in our line, but to instead adopt it as a lesson...and let that very "casting off" of a characteristic be a real reason, and a worthy one that these people are indeed a part of our family. just a thought, jan c2000janPhilpot ________________________________________________ (Note: Afternoon Rocking messages are meant to be passed on, meant to be shared...simply share as written without alterations...and in entirety.
