Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Smiths, Cokers, Brabsons, and others

My sister, Barbara, sent me this new information with a request that I

throw it out to the lists for consideration. The bastardy bonds she's

talking about are the Henry L. and Martha Smith ones that I wrote about

earlier.

Isn't it great when you can get a vicarious thrill off a genealogy newbie's

excitement?

===========================================

Smith seekers...................

Last night I was studying over my notes and census information and found a

possibility. My husbands gr gr grandmother had 3 illegitimate babies. She

lived next door to her sister Jane who had three illegitimate children

herself. Anyway, a Fanie Coker who was 87 lived in the house with Jane. There

is listed under Fanie Coker two daughters named Sarah and Martha. Sarah was

single and 50 years old, Martha was single and 46. There was also listed two

grandsons and a granddaughter. Well, we assumed these also were Cokers, then

I thought....what if Fanie was a Smith first and then married a Coker. That

would explain why Jane Smith lived with her and Eliza lived next to her.

Martha and Sarah would be Smiths instead of Cokers. Chances are since Fanie

was 87 she was married more than once. Well, one of the grandchilren who

lived in the house was 12. The age the child that the bastardy bonds were

done on would have been in 1880. Think we may be on to something. If I come

across any info regarding a Martha Brabson, I will forward it to you.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] 1941 Bicentennial Program CD's status

A quick note to everyone who requested one of these -- I had a couple of

family crises in the past few days that pulled me away from being able to

focus on things like cutting CD's. I apologize for the delay and hope to

get them all done tomorrow (I have to do them one at a time, and they take

30 minutes each!).

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] A little commercial for Glenmore Mansion

Jefferson County's Glenmore Chapter of the Association for Preservation of

Tennessee Antiquities owns and maintains Glenmore Mansion, the former home

of John Roper Branner's family and later the Milton Jarnigan family in

Jefferson City. You can read about the house and take a virtual tour at

http://www.korrnet.org/glenmore/

Glenmore is in the midst of a restoration project that has a price tag of a

couple hundred thousand dollars. The group still needs to raise over $90,000.

One of the fund-raising projects Glenmore is undertaking is selling trees

from the National Arbor Day Foundation (http://www.arborday.org/). Each of

the trees costs just $3.50 each, each is 2-3 feet tall and guaranteed to

grow, and the shipping cost is just $3.50 whether you purchase one or one

hundred. The trees are shipped directly to your home from the NADF.

Glenmore receives $1.25 for each tree purchased through our fundraising

campaign. The available trees are red maple, sugar maple, black walnut

(can't ship to NM or TX), redbud, tuliptree, weeping willow, white dogwood,

and red oak (can't ship to FL, OR, or LA). You can see the trees at

http://www.arborday.org/trees/treesort.cfm -- but you have to purchase them

through Glenmore for it to get the credit. And, orders must be placed by

April 10.

If you'd like to order trees, please e-mail Janet McLane

(alandermclane@netzero.net). She will be happy to assist you.

And future generations of visitors to Glenmore will thank you.

Please feel free to forward this message to any individual or mailing list

where you feel it is appropriate.

Note: None of the trees can't be shipped to Alaska, Arizona, California,

or Hawaii.

Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Oops -- about the trees

My original message had a boo-boo:

Note: None of the trees can't be shipped to Alaska, Arizona, California,

or Hawaii.

That should read None of the trees CAN be shipped to Alaska, Arizona,

California, or Hawaii.

Sorry 'bout that.
