Sunnner 1981 51 OVER THE EDITOR'S DESK Many of our more recent subscribers are not familiar with the background of the Tennessee Genealogical Society and its quarterly magazine; therefore, it seems appropriate to give here a few of the facts. The society started in 1952 as the Memphis Genealogical Society with 25 local members, but as the interest and numbers grew beyond the Memphis area, the name was changed in 1965 to the Tennessee Genealogical Society. We are in no way funded by the state, but are simply a group of volunteers who like to promote our favorite hobby. We earn our funds by publishing this quarterly, "Ansearchin'" News, and offering for sale books which have been given to us by the compilers and which are listed on our back blue page. The profits from our labors are used to support and build our genealogical library, which now contains over 3700 volumes. "Ansearchin'" News, as it appears now, is the result of the ideas of nine different editors over the twenty-eight years of publication. There is a story told about its unique name. One of the early members called another whose maid answered the phone with the reply, "She ain't here. She's out ansearchin' ." From this coined word, the ti.t1e was formed. For the first six years, the publication was called a bulletin and carried much local news on fewer pages. These were later combined in a second edition of 201 pages titled Volumes I-VI, 1954-1959, omitting some of the outdated news. We greatly appreciate the kind comments we receive and welcome contributions of Tennessee-related material. The earliest dated material receives priority, and we prefer that it should be at least 100 years old. ( Each subscriber is entitled to one free query per year; this must be fifty words or less, however we do sometimes allow a few more words to complete a sentence. Some subscribers send us several queries at a time, but I cannot recall having enough space to go back and pick one up at a later date. Information we cannot use in print is placed in our vertical tiles. * * * lbe Sevier Family Reunion will be held June 19-21 in Gatlinburg, TN. Contact James S. Corbitt, 118 Gardner Ave., Martin, TN 38237 for details. If we don't get this issue to you in time for this year, mark your calendar for two years hence; this is the 13th biennial reunion. A newsletter from the Van Buren County Historical Society has been received announcing the formation of that group and inviting others to join. This county was formed in 1840 from Warren, White and Bledsoe counties, but has had no historical society until last September when this group began its meetings. They have made great strides in a very short time , probably because each of the members has undertaken a specific project. One has compiled a list of all Civil War veterans from the county. Another has copied every cemetery marker and supplied additional information on the families wherever known. Still another has collected information on all the post offices of the past, and others are delving into the history of railroads, schools, doctors etc. Annual dues of $5.00 may be sent to Margaret Rhinehart, Treas.

BLADEN COUNTY, NORTH, CAROLINA ABSTRACTS OF EARLY DEEDS 1738-1804 by Brent H. Holcomb, C.A.L.S. 1979. Soft back. 81 pp. Indexed. Order from the Southern Historical Press, P.O. Box 738, Easley, se 29640. $10.00. Bladen County was formed in 1734 from New Hanover County, and at its formation encompassed everything west of the present county. Cumberland County was formed entirely from Bladen, as were Robeson and Anson, and part of Orange County once was in Bladen. Therefore the abstracts in this volume are especially informative, with many long chains of title going back to original grants and many references to Craven County, South Carolina. Three courthouse fireS have destroyed many early records, a fact which makes this book particulary valuable.

Box 738, Easley, SC 29640. $42.50. Kentucky has had many histories and biographies and other means of recording the early settlement, and organization of the territory as a county of Virginia and as a state., Probably no state is more interesting from an histor.ic point of view. From this state settlers moved north to the Northwest Territories, west to Missouri and the new lands farther west; and south and sou.thwestto the new territories of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas. The famed 'Dark and Bloody Ground' is rich'in biographical material. Many of the men who helped niake history in Kentucky are given space in this publication. The biographies cover the period from the early pioneers to 1878, the date of this publication. Researchers will find much material here. PIKE COUNTY WILLS 1826-1854 by Joyce Hill Gossett. 1980.

Thompson, Rt. 1, Box 208, Senatobia, MS 38668. As a child about fifty years ago, Mrs. Thompson found a yellowed page with faded handwritten records of the Roy family in an old log house on what was known as the old Dr. Roy Farm west of Millington, TN. The record says: FAMILY RECORD ROY - born 6 July 1590 M.A. ROY - born 20 Dec. 1596 HENRY L. ROY - born 1 Jan. 1615 JOHN B. ROY - born 22 June 1621 MARY A. ROY - born 18 Feb. 1617 JAMES B.

ROY - - - - - - - The balance of this line is obliterated by stains and the penciled record has been rubbed too thin to read, but it is possible that the bride's last name ended in "- - -ton"and that the year is 1614. . Although this piece of paper is very old, it does not seem to have been written in the seventeenth century. It is probably information taken from an older bible record and was the property of M. L. Roy who appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Shelby Co TN (A.N. Vol. 16, p. 116.) M.L. ( Annice McDaniel Bolton of Millington gave this information on the ROY family: MEREDITH L. ROY, born 1806 in South Carolina, became a minister in Shelby Co., Tenn. performing marriages in the 2nd Civil District until 1879. In 1888 he owned 129.74 acres of land on Bear Creek, Herrin~ Hill Road with the CRAINs. CORBITTs. DUNNs, MILLINGTONs. YORKs .and McDANIELs for neighbors. He married on 9 Jan. 1833 in Dickson Co .• Tenn. - SUSAN GENTRY. born 1813, died 1896 in Shelby Co., Tenn. Their children were: 1. JOHN ROY - born 1835 in Shelby Co •• Tenn. 2. WM. T.

DAVE ROY - born 1852. THE ELUSIVE SIDON HARRIS, Sr. - from Virginia Smith Parker, P.O. Box 837, Raymopdville, TX 78580. SIDON HARRIS. Sr. was born about 1770, probably in Virginia. He made an affidavit in 1855 in Madison Co •• Tenn. stating he enlisted in the War of 1812 from Overton Co., Tenn. and at the time of the making of the affidavit was 75 years old and living in Haywood Co •• Tenn. In 1858 he was granted 160 acres of land for his service - location unknown. The 1820 census of Overton Co. lists him with both male and female children. "Ansearchin'" News 72 Family Gatherings (continued) The 1830 census shows him in Madison Co., Tenn. with wife and four females between age of 20 and 30. Only two of his children are known: 1. JOHN HARRIS, born about 1812/13 probably in Tenn. (or KY), came to Texas with David Crockett as a member of Tennessee Mounted Volunteers, and died 6 March 1836 in the Seige of the Alamo. Amelia WILLIAMS in her thesis published on the "Seige .of the Alamo and Its Personnel", states David Crockett and John Harris were first cousins, but proof of this is lacking. John Harris was a single man and could have been named for David's father, John Crockett. 2. SIDON H. HARRIS, born 12 Nov. 1820 in Tenn., married on 9 "Aug. 1842 in Pontotoc Co., Miss. Amanda Caroline ATKINSON, daughter of Samuel Washington and Nancy Jordan Atkinson. She was the granddaughter of Samuel and Sarah WASHINGTON ATKINSON of VA • . and NC and Thomas and Priscilla APPLEWHITE JORDAN of VA and GA. In 1850 Sidon and Amanda were in Lauderdale Co., Tenn. on their way to Texas. About 1852 they settled in Caldwell Co., Texas where Sidon died in 1861 and Amanda in 1866. Both are buried in the Harris family plot in Caldwell Co., Texas. In Daughters of Republic of Texas Library, San Antonio, a WILLIAM HARRIS was found who was said to be a younger brother of Sidon, Sr. In the 1826 census of Atascosita, Texas there is a William, age 44, born in VA, wife -Anna HARMON, age 38, born in LA, 8 children all born in LA. This William is said to have been killed during the Civil War at Cold Harbor, VA. Sidon, Jr. probably went to Texas to take charge of the bounty land given to the heirs of John Harris as he acted as administrator of this brother's estate after hi~ arrival in Texas. All records seem to be of the opinion that Sidon, Sr. married a CROCKETT or a HAWKINS, which would make her a sister of John Crockett or Rebecca Hawkins Crockett, parents of David. Can anyone help on this, or the parents of Sidon Harris,Sr.? HOMESTEAD QUESTIONNAIRE OF WM. F. BROWN - ALIASWM. G. PRICE - from Mrs. Georgene Morris Sones, 6604 Curtis Ave., Omaha, NB 68104.
