The Cumberland region included Kentucky, Tennessee and parts of what was then known as Virginia. The area became known as "Cumberland Country" since the pioneers had to cross over the Cumberland Mountains and through the Cumberland Gap to reach the territory. The twenty-two churches whose records were abstracted for this book were located in Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. These early church records are an untapped rich resource for the genealogical researchers. The records in this book include marriages, births, baptisms, communions, deaths, and registers of deacons and lay members. This volume includes listings from churches grouped by state. Arkansas churches: Prairie Grove C. P. Church of Washington County; and Rock Springs - Oak Grove C. P. Church of Pope County. Illinois church: Shiloh - Mount Pleasant C. P. Church of Cass County. Kentucky churches: Sand Springs - Mount Pleasant C. P. Church of Daviess County and Shady Grove C. P. Church of Graves County. Mississippi church: Hernando C. P. Church of DeSoto County. Missouri churches: Shawnee Mound C. P. Church of Johnson County, Huntsville C. P. Church of Randolph County, Ely - Union Valley C. P. Church of Marion County, Mount Hope C. P. Church of Randolph County, Rochester C. P. Church of Andrew County, Surprise C. P. Church of Lafayette County, Watson C. P. Church of Atchison County, Keysville C. P.

Volume two of Missouri Genealogical Records and Abstracts was compiled by the author in her search for her elusive French ancestor-Achille Godin (or Gaudin); it collectively spans 1752-1839, a time period which is often puzzling to the Missouri/Arkansas researcher because the region changed ownership from France to Spain, then back to France, and finally to the United States in what became known as the Louisiana Purchase. The records were chosen, in part, to help fill the gap created by the lack of a complete extant Federal census for Missouri prior to 1830. A wide variety of information from over forty counties is included: petitioners, tax lists, cemetery listings, estrays, wills and bonds, marriage records, licenses, grand jury members, Indian trade records, indictments, letters at the post office, marks and brands, and much more. This volume also includes a special section devoted to the French and Spanish of the Mississippi Valley, because when researching a French or Spanish ancestor that lived in Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, or Louisiana, one must think of the Mississippi Valley as one area. The French especially were a mobile people engaged in trade in this area with the Indians. French and Spanish records include censuses, military statements, grants, petitioners, regiment members, and more. The surname index includes the French "dit" names (aliases) and has several thousand entries. This volume covers the following counties: Arkansas, Audrain, Barry, Benton, Boone, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Cass/Van Buren, Chariton, Clay, Cole, Cooper, Franklin, Gasconade, Greene, Henry, Howard, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Lafayette/Lillard, "Old" Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Miller, Monroe, Montgomery, New Madrid, Perry, Pike, Platte, Ralls, Randolph, Ray, Saline, Shelby, Ste. Genevieve, St. Charles, St. Francois, St. Louis, Warren, Washington, Wayne and Warren.

Anyone researching Missouri ancestors will quickly find himself tangled in the history of the region, which changed hands between France, Spain, and the United States, and whose boundaries often included the neighboring territories of Orleans and Indiana. Straying ancestors also tended to spill over into Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The author has simplified the search by including many useful records from these areas. There is not a complete Federal census extant for Missouri until 1830, and many of the records included in this series were obtained from the Missouri State Archives' "Capitol Fire Documents," which were the only State Auditor's Office records to survive the devastating Capitol fire in 1911. The researcher will find here the usual birth, marriage, and death records as well as tax lists, wills, jury lists, and other information. Some of the specific county sections included: Jefferson County original land entries and deed taxes; Madison County Deed Books A and B; list of names from the Waverly Cemetery in Lafayette County; St. Louis County Military, 1780, Cuban Papers/Churchill Collection; Private Land Claims in the Arkansas District; and licenses, public monies, and mortality schedules from the fifty-two counties included here. All names appear as they were written on the records, including abbreviations of given names. French "dit" names (aliases) are included in the vast surname index. This volume covers the following counties: Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Audrain, Barry, Bates, Benton, Boone, Buchanan, Caldwell, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Carter, Chariton, Clay, Clinton, Cole, Cooper, Crawford, Gasconade, Henry and Rivers, Hickory, Howard, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Lafayette, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, Miller, Montgomery, Perry, Pettis, Pike, Polk, Ralls, Randolph, Ray, Ripley, Scott, Shelby, St. Charles, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Taney, Warren, Washington, Webster.

This series contains a wide variety of information on specific Missouri counties, and the state as a whole: marriage records, Spanish censuses, tax lists, estrays, letters at the post office, wills and bonds, jury lists, indictments, Indian trade records, cemetery listings, petitioners, animal marks and brands, slave bills of sale, French and Spanish land grants, military records, disaster victims, etc. This volume covers the following counties: Benton, Bollinger, Boone, Carroll, Cape Girardeau, Cass, Christian, Clay, Cooper, Crawford, Dent, Franklin, Gasconade, Greene, Hickory, Howell, Jackson, Jefferson, Knox, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, Montgomery, Morgan, New Madrid, Newton, Oregon, Osage, Ozark, Pettis, Pike, Polk, Randolph, Ray, Ripley, Scott, St. Clair, St. Charles, St. Francois, Ste.

The seventh book of this Missouri series includes information on counties covered in the previous volumes and also new information on previously covered counties. Census records for Missouri started in 1830, but many travelers and permanent settlers were missed in the census years or only lived in the state between census years. The purpose of this collection is to help the researcher pinpoint his or her ancestors between the census years. Missouri was a gateway to the West-a key location in the nineteenth century. Both the Santa Fe Trail to the southwest and the Oregon Trail to the northwest began at Independence, Missouri. The starting point for the Pony Express, which delivered mail from there west to California, was at St. Joseph, Missouri. Settlers and new immigrants from Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, England, Poland, Bohemia and Italy flooded into Missouri when statehood was granted in 1821. Through the last half of the nineteenth century, each new Gold Rush lured more people to Missouri on their way to make their fortunes. Here, the author has collected information from newspapers, church and cemetery records, muster books, tax and assessment lists, marriage books, deed books, land owner lists, voter lists and other sources. A list of "dates to remember" covers important historical events in the U.S. from the years 1821 to 1911. The following counties are covered: Adair, Boone, Butler, Caldwell, Carter, Christian, Clark, Clinton, Franklin, Gentry, Henry, Jackson, Jasper, Lafayette, Livingston, Miller, Mississippi, Scott, St. Genevieve, St. Louis, Schuyler, Shannon, Vernon and Washington. There is also a miscellaneous section which includes letters, military lists from several wars, mortality schedules, and much more information about Missourians. A surname index is included.

Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto blazed the trails of the Arkansas area in 1541, followed by French explorers Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette. In 1682, French explorer La Salle claimed this wilderness in the name of France, naming it Louisiana. There were many Native American tribes living in this region: The Osage, Caddo, Akansa and the Quapaw. France then ceded this region to Spain in 1762. Spain permitted Americans to settle in the Arkansas area in 1783. In 1801 Spain returned the Louisiana area to France. The U.S. acquired this territory with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, requiring residents to file claims with the government in order to prove legal ownership of the land. Between 1820 and 1906, more than 13,000 entries were filed for the eastern Arkansas counties of Monroe, Lee, Woodruff, White, Crittenden, Independence, Lonoke, St. Francois, Prairie and Cross. Land was sometimes available for only $1.25 per acre, or a parcel could be bid upon. This index of land transactions filed with the General Land Office (GLO) is an excellent resource for the genealogist, containing abstracts of land transactions over an eighty-seven-year span beginning in 1820 after statehood. Records are arranged alphabetically by purchaser's last name, and include: first name, middle initial, a legal description and location of the land, the amount of land in acres, the date of purchase, and the county. Contact information is provided in the preface for obtaining access to the original records. This volume covers the following counties: Benton and Carroll.

In this, her third volume of Tennessee newspaper abstracts, Mrs. Eddlemon has again attempted to capture all names of local residents from all types of announcements, ads, and notices. They are drawn from three early Tennessee newspapers, all of which predate the first complete Federal census, and hence, are of great genealogical interest. The material includes lists of delinquent taxpayers, dead letters at the post office, runaway spouses and slaves, and all kinds of sales of goods and services, in addition to the usual marriage and death notices. The papers covered in this volume are: The Jackson Gazette, 1825-1828, The Sparta Review, 1823-1825, and The Knoxville Register, 1821-1822.
