This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.
Virtually all the information in this volume dates from the first half of the nineteenth century and and is derived from the court records of the following Mississippi counties: Claiborne, Harrison, Hinds, Holmes, Jefferson, Warren, and Wilkinson. The contents include genealogical abstracts of deeds, wills and bonds, probate minutes, and marriage bonds. Overall, the genealogical content is very rich and extends to nearly 2,000 individuals.
As his bride, Lucie, was about to be "sold down the river" to the slave markets of New Orleans in 1831, young Thornton Blackburn planned a daring escape from Louisville. Discovered by slave catchers in Michigan, they were slated to return to Kentucky in chains, until the black community rallied to their cause in the Blackburn Riot of 1833. The couple was spirited across the river to Canada, but Michigan's governor demanded their extradition. The Blackburn case was the first serious legal dispute between Canada and the United States regarding the Underground Railroad, and set precedents for all future fugitive-slave cases. The Blackburns settled in Toronto and founded the city's first taxi business. Working with prominent abolitionists, Thornton and Lucie made their home a haven for runaways. The Blackburns died in the 1890s, and a chance archaeological discovery in a downtown Toronto school yard brought their story to light.--From publisher description.
Isaiah Guymon is believed to be the first Guymon in America. Where he came from to the Surry and Stokes area of North Carolina is unknown. He was born ca 1753 and married Elizabeth Flinn/Flynn, daughter of James Flynn and Rebecca Laughlin ca 1772-1773. Isaiah is found in the tax lists of Stokes county continually from 1790 to 1818. In 1809 he is shown selling land to his two sons, and disappears from the lists and the census in 1818. It is assumed that he died before 1820. Isaiah's mother was Elizabeth Curry whose brother Malcolm reared Isaiah. Eleven children were born of the marriage between Isaiah and Elizabeth.
