TnType's Tennessee Genealogy Links

for a number of reasons, i have spread myself and my TnType pages all over the web. what follows is an annotated list of my sites and a little description of what is available at each one. though i try to connect my sites using sidebar menus and such, my family suggested that i put all the links on one central page, so here goes (and i hope you find it useful - especially for your roane co, tn area research):

Robert GILLILAND family genealogy - Roane Co, TN

I've posted my current research notes on Roane County, Tennessee pioneer Robert GILLILAND (son-in-law of Robert Samuel BRASHEAR/BRASHEARS) at my googlepages site, roane county genealogy - roane county, tennessee kin & kith. He and his wife Mary "Polly" BRASHEAR settled in the future Roane County Sugar Grove Valley area when others of Robert S. BRASHEAR's family members did.

(For more information about my BRASHEAR (or BRASHEARS) family connections, remember that the BRASHEAR Family cemetery photo album with annotated genealogy entries is online in my companion genealogy blog | here |. The full photo album index with links to specific photos is | here |.)

GOOGLE documents and spreadsheets for genealogy blog writing

GOOGLE Docs & Spreadsheets -- why would you want to use GOOGLE's free online document and spreadsheet creation, editing, and document storage program to create a genealogy blog page when your blogging software already has a wysiwyg editor? well, here are a few reasons for that and for other things, too:

1. number one for me is that the interface is roomy, so i'm not constantly having to scroll up and down after adding forty lines of text.

i know that blog entries are supposedly supposed to be short, that readers purportedly don't like reading large chunks of text on a browser. however, researchers slogging their way through a blogging interface is already challenging enough. if we're looking for a new resource or a quick link or tutorial, that's one thing. if we're looking for an entire family, that's quite another.

i really appreciate the genealogy blog that gives me good, meaty-sized hunks of information in one entry; and so that's what i try to do. but that often means having to move up and down inside the textarea of the editor to double-check that i'm not repeating myself or to make sure i'm not leaving something important out. the typical blog interface is, as i've noted, forty lines long. then you've got to start scrolling to go back and check things. yech!

with GOOGLE documents and spreadsheets, i can have most of my entire screen in which to work. it's much like using a word processor. and, as in my blogging software interfaces, i can opt to edit my html when necessary and with ease. or not.

2. my number 2 is likely number 1 for other genealogists: GOOGLE lets you collaborate in creating the documents and/or spreadsheets online. last week, GOOGLE combined the well-respected WRITERLY, which it had purchased, to its already free online spreadsheet program. that gave users a tested interface and the ability to collaborate and share documents online with ease.

3. GOOGLE stores the documents you create free for you. if you want to "publish" to the web, GOOGLE lets you do that and stores the documents for you.

you can also simply store the documents you create online with compliments of GOOGLE. although there is a limit for uploading images to use in your documents, there is no set storage or transmission limit for the texts you create. you can view the terms of use for GOOGLE Docs & Spreadsheets | here |.

4. docments created with the online software may be saved and downloaded in many different, popular formats :

Microsoft Word

OpenOffice

.rtf

.pdf

HTML

zip

spreadsheets can also be saved and downloaded in a variety of formats:

Comma Separated Value (.csv)

HTML

.ods

.pdf

Microsoft Excel (.xls)

5. you can import existing documents of 500 k or less from your hard drive in the same popular formats mentioned above. the following is information about size limits for documents, images, and spreadsheets from the help pages for the software:

Each document can be up to 500K, plus up to 2MB per embedded image.

Each spreadsheet can be up to 10,000 rows, or up to 256 columns, or up to 50,000 cells, or up to 20 sheets -- whichever limit is reached first.

You can import file sizes up to approximately 1 Mb in .xls or .odf format

6. you can upload and store images - free - to use inside your documents. (see item 5 above for some information and limits). note: i'm sure there must be some total limit (i.e. for all your images combined), as well, but if there is, i haven't found it yet.

7. there is an export wizard for all popular blog interfaces. you can export to a sponsored blog (like this one at blogspot) or to your own blog on your own domain. if you are wanting to export to just one blog, you need only enter the export settings once. if you have multiple blogs, you'll have to change the wizard data for each blog each time.

and - need i say it? you can just create any kind of genealogy document online, collaborate on it online, and then let each collaborator do whatever he or she pleases with it.

you don't have to have to have a blog to find this service useful and easy. and, no, this is not a sponsored plug....

WANT AN EXAMPLE - or TWO?
1. well, i have created a document about my great-grandmother DICA ANN "DICY" (SMITH) GILES using google documents & spreadsheets and am storing it on google's servers. you can view it
| here |

2. i also exported it using the blog export function built into the google docs & spreadsheets interface, and so that same document can be viewed on my tn type.com blog
| here |.

joel hembree and jane dale - roane county 1800 - fatal wedding feast

A narrative about the tragic wedding day of Joel HEMBREE and Jane DALE of Roane County, Tennessee made the front page of The New York Times on 25 Nov 1880. The story was picked up for Edmond Burke's Annual Register in London and published the following year (see below). Although the Roane County in question is likely not Roane County, Tennessee, the HEMBREE surname is connected to many Roane County, Tennessee pioneers. I have been unable to trace either Joel HEMBREE or Jane DALE's ancestors to this point. I am hoping that by posting these name-laden articles that I'll be leaving a bread-crumb trail for someone....

THE FATAL WEDDING FEAST. ARSENIC MISTAKEN FOR SALT--SIX PERSONS DEAD AND OTHERS DYING.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 24.—Further particulars are received here to-night of the terrible poisoning case in Tennessee. The marriage of Joel Hembree and Miss Jane Dale, of Roane County, drew together a large company of their friends and relatives, who belong to the prominent families in the vicinity. The wedding had long been talked of, and was the social event of the year. After ceremony the company was invited the hospitable board of Col. Dale, the bride and bridegroom in the meantime withdrawing. The table was bountifully supplied, and all ate heartily. The evening was spent in festivities. Another supper was served. After the meal, several guests began complaining of illness, but it was laughed off and the gayety continued. About 11 o’clock a sudden lethargy seemed to overtake the whole company and in a few minutes 27 were unconscious. The few who retained consciousness set themselves at work to resusciate their companions, but without avail. Twelve were removed to other houses in the neighborhood and as the news spread, the whole country around was aroused with excitement, as nearly every prominent family had members present at the fatal feast. Such medical aid as could be summoned could give little relief, and two days after the occurrence six of the wedding guests were dead. Robert Dale, the bride’s brother, died next day. Mike May. a relative of the groom, died in a few hours. Albert Gallagher and Miss Mattie Lovelace, well-known young people, died next day. Two young girls, Emma Peters and Kate Lowey, died within 24 hours. Col. Dale and his wife are very low, and their death is momentarily expected.The cause of the tragedy was the use of arsenic instead of salt in seasoning the chickens. Col. Dale purchased a quantity of arsenic a day or two before to kill crows, and carelessly left it in the kitchen. A blundering servant mistook it for salt, and hence the fatal results. Only those who partook of the chicken were poisoned.

christmas in august rockwood tennessee style

 



on the first weekend of december every year, many rockwood, tn residents open the doors of their homes to visitors for the rockwood christmas tour of historic homes. i've heard about it for a couple of years, and since the moment i heard, i've been telling myself that i need to make my roane county visits coincide with it - at least once. until her sudden death last year, a distant cousin, sara grasham mee, was one of the tour's organizers. in doing a search on my ellis family today, i came across a wonderful set of pages that let me remember sara and let me tour some of rockwood's homes any time i want. they're all part of a site called rockwood 2000+ :

• an introduction to the tours which explains what they're all about is here


• on that page, too,is a photo of my cousin sara (in red, on the left)


• part of a news release for the 2005 tour was a tribute to sara link


• photos of the homes that were featured last year are here


• the photos for the 2004 tour include many indoor shots and give, i think, a better flavor of the kind of celebration the tour really is. the 2004 pages can be accessed here

♥ and maybe my two favorite albums - because i feel like i'm walking around rockwood - are here and here [this last one is a two-page pdf brochure with a walking tour of the town.♥

tennessee county formation maps for census work

tennessee county formation maps and formation information - helpful for census and migration use - can be found as ani-maps online | here |

with the map on this page, you can follow a county year to year with three different kinds of county outline maps:

1. plain outline maps can be shown with changing boundaries for each county from census to census. roane county was established in 1803 and can be followed from 1810 forward, for instance.

2. outline maps of any census year with an outline map of the county during the previous census as an overlay, permitting you to see additions or subtractions to the boundaries.

3. outline maps of any census year with an outline map of the county during the next census as an overlay, permitting you to see future additions or subtractions to the county's boundaries (similar to #2 above). click on 1840 map, for instance, to see the changes in roane county's boundaries between the 1840 and 1850 censuses.

near the bottom of the page, there's a quick recap of census information for tennessee - which federal censuses are available - which years and which counties.

the look of the day your ancestor died - the u.s. navy just might help you

"Pa said he was shooting at some pigs"... from the court testimony of frank ellis, 11 year-old son of charles d. ellis
Photo copyright 2006 D Giles Loiselle

the u.s. naval observatory has several interactive tools online, some of which can be handy, if not imperative, for genealogists. one of my personal favorites is the rise/set/transit/twilight data calculator | here |. using it, i am able to get a sense of how much light the might have been left when my great-grandfather, charles david ellis, was shot and killed in an altercation over pigs in a cornfield.

because trial papers tell me it was near 6 p.m. and because i know the location of his death, i am able use the calculator to determine that he likely died a little more than half an hour before sunset that early september evening in arkansas.

if i were more astronomically savvy, i could also use the sun or moon altitude/azimtuth tables to get a better picture of the lighting at the edge of the cornfield. but exactly what does it mean that the sun was 7.7 and had an azimuth of 273.5 east of north at 6 p.m.? (see the same page | here |.) is it possible that a low sun was in his eyes? i know he fell with his head to the west.

so, hey, if you can help me better visualize what happened with the help of the altitude and azimuth information, why don't you let me hear from you, okay?

charles ellis' family data is | here |.

43d tn infantry and roane county tennessee civil war history

the public library in kingston, roane co, tn has a great set of pages with photos outlining the history of roane co, tn in the civil war era |here |.

as part of the site, they also have a downloadable file of roane county confederate soldiers | here | and federal soldiers | here |. though one ancestor, francis m. majors, is not listed in the file even though he is indexed as a roane county soldier elsewhere, another ancestor, james calvin giles, is listed. both of the men belonged to the 43rd tn inf, csa - calvin to co f and francis to co b.

some links that have information about the 43d tennsee infantry, csa:

to get a feel for the unit, the site to go to after the kingston library pages is george martin's site, 43rd tennessee, csa. [43 regt tenn vols]

an extracted unit history from tennesseans in the civil war, vol 1 ( © 1964 by the “civil war centennial commission of tennessee”) can be viewed | here |

the us national park service's civil war soldiers and sailors system has a unit history page | here |, and a listing of all the soldiers | here |.

battle of champion hill (mississippi) - great site that is part of civilwaralbum.com - includes a virtual tour of the battle. the link takes you directly to the order of battle of the confederate forces which includes the 43d tn inf, csa

you can compare that order of battle for the confederates with the confederate order of battle which also includes the 43 tn infantry at the national park service's vicksburg site.

online sites for battles linked to the 43d tn infantry, csa (also called 43 regt tenn. vols and later 5th east tennessee volunteer regiment):

perryville (ky) - though the 43d is not listed on the order of battle at battleofperryville.com , calvin giles' pension file indicates that one of the battles he was engaged in was perrryville. in his civil war questionnaire, calvin says that his first battle was a "small skurmish in kentucky." george martin's unit history also - though obliquely - suggests that the 43d was involved in the battle of perryville.

champion hill (ms)

the us army war college in carlisle, pennsylvania has a short bibliography page for the 43d tenn infantry online | here |

george martin's home page, 43rd tennessee, csa, includes a bibliography as well.
