Seth D BISHOP is my gg grandfather. This Obit I received from a

blanks? Here it is:
Ray: I thought that the spelling for Susan's maiden name was Hollins
because that's the way it is spelled in both Seth D.'s obit. and on
her death certificate, which was signed by Benjamin Fielding.
Here is the obituary for Seth D. Bishop: (exact wording)
Bishop, Seth D. , son of John E. and Nancy, was born in VA, 24,
November 1830. Emigrated with his father to Warren Co., TN. Where
he married Susan J. Hollins, 1, January 1854. Came to Crawford Co.,
Mo. in fall of 1856, where he died 7 March 1858.
This information is from Missouri Pioneers Vol. XXVI. Taken from ,
St. Louis Christian Advocate of the Methodist Episcopal Church, So.
Did the John E Bishop in Warren County ever have a wife named Nancy?
That's not his wife's name in 1850.
I know that the John Bishop found in 1850 Coffee Co had a wife named
Nancy.

WILSON
I am looking for any info on Will & Hester WILSON. Both Will & Hester
were born in TN. Hester was born abt 1867. They had 3 sons Sam, Fulton & Hllas. Hester
was a widow in the 1910 Census in Jackson County, AL. Her youngest son Hllas was born in
1910, TN and showed up on the 1910 Census in AL. He did not show up on any other
Census. I am assuming that they also moved to Alabama around that time. On the
1910 Census, Hester was living with her 3 sons. Hester, Fulton & Sam were working at the
Pencil Factory in Jackson County, AL. Her first son Fulton James Wilson was born 1892
in Tullahoma, TN. Her 2nd son Sam (my grandfather) was born in 1894 in Tullahoma, TN.
Both sons died in 1946 in AL. Sam died in Jan 1946. Hester was mentioned in his Obit.
She was living in Manchester, Coffee Co., TN at the time. Fulton died in Oct, 1946.
Hester was not mentioned. I believe Hester died in 1946. If anyone knows anything
about this family I would appreciate any information you have. Thanks

MINE ON OLD GREGORY PLACE?
I need info on a possible mine that existed on the old Gregory
place on Panhandle Road. Vance Goode purchased this farm and my
grandfather, William Logan Rice, bought it in 1956 from Mr. Goode.
The land ran at least 1/4th or more of a mile off the present
Panhandle Road, to within a short distance of 16th Model Road.
Interstate 24 now runs through the middle of it, and the Hullett's
purchased the part of the farm between 16th Model and the Interstate.
There was some sort of old mine on this property. I would like to
find more information on the mine. Bobo Amos recalled how he fell in
a "sinkhole" on top the hill overlooking the highway when he was a
kid, and saw ore cars and rails down there. Also, there is what seems
to be the remnants of an old water race between my grandfather's old
house (now owned by Dean Ellis), and the former Horace Crosslin farm
(now owned by Mr. Johnson). If anyone has info on just what sort of
mine this was, and when it was in operation, please contact me.

ORRICK, ARRICK
I have a gap in Orrick/Arrick family history in 1870. They appear in
1850,1860 in Warren as ORRICKs, then in 1880 in Coffee as ARRICKs.
Some of the 1870 Warren census page are very dim, both
at Ancestry.com and the microfilm at my local library.
I'm wondering if they are hiding in there.
Are there better copies somewhere?
1860 in Warren shows Orricks: Jno 1826, Margaret 1830, Sarah 1848,
James 1851, Laura 1853, Willaim 1855, Vetes (E.V) 1857, Margaret 1859.

MCMANUS, BALL
Researching my Grandparents Lonnie C. MCMANUS and Cora BALL
MCMANUS who lived in Tullahoma. I know they were there in 1922 as
that is where my father was born, Lonnie C. MCMANUS Jr.
Family story is that Grandpa Lonnie had a candy store in Tullahoma
and Grandma Cora gave music lessons. I long for more of their story.

THOMAS
Looking for my great-grandfather, William Henry THOMAS. He was born
in TN in Nov. 1862 according to 1900 Census. We do not know anything
else about his family or relatives.
He worked for a railroad in
Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa; married Clara Bell STORRS
ca. 1886 & subsequently they had 5 kids. After Clara's death in 1899,
the kids were parceled out to family members, & W.H. within a few
years left, only visiting occasionally thereafter. In the 1870 Coffee
Co. census, District 13 (Tullahoma), there is a William H. Thomas,
age 7, son of a William H. Thomas, age 37, boatmaker. A sister? Mary
E., age 17 is there too. Does anyone know anything about this THOMAS family?
