| Bio and Links | To some extent I have been interested in genealogy for a long time. I went back to college when my youngest daughter started school and became an elementary teacher. One of the lessons in history was about our ancestors - especially when we studied the pilgrims. Although I knew about my mother and father's immediate families, my knowledge of where I came from did not extend much beyond that. After I retired, I got a computer to help make designs for my embroidery machine. I became acquainted with the internet and genealogy took off from there. I have done extensive work on my and my husband's family history. Find A Grave became a great source for connecting families and is a wonderful tool in research.
If you come across any of my memorials and I can be of help to you or if you have information that can be added to any of my memorials, please contact me.

| Query
I saw where you have uploaded an image of the Fulton T. & Carrie Brown Gentry headstone in the Gentry Cemetery. Curious as to how you got to this cemetery, the instructions on the internet are so vague and people in the area weren't sure where it was located. There appears to be many people buried there. Is there more than one Gentry Cemetery located in Dickson County? Thanks, HelenAdded by Helen on Nov 07, 2012 3:10 AM | | | Jan Gibson Frey

 | Herring/Matschulat
Hello... I was wondering if we could chat on the Herring/Matschulat family... My husband's 3rd great grandfather was Jacob Deck. He was married 3 or 4 times (have seen 4 times but only confirmed 3 so far)... From his first wife, one of his children was Catherine Deck Herring and from his second wife, one of his children was Thomas Isaac Deck... I believe Catherine was your ancestor and Thomas Isaac was my husband's ancestor. I would love to share any information with you... The last two days have been filled with the Herring family... I have only mainly gotten through most of John Francis and Mary Ann Robinson Herring's family and some of Sarah Frances Herring Scoggins's family (children of Abram and Catherine Deck Herring)... If you are interested in sharing, please feel free to contact me at goheen@frontiernet.net
Hope to hear from you!

Lois,
Looks like you have been busy and that you probably have figured out that Mattie (Martha) A. "Miller" Wilson is really "Mattie (Martha) A. NAYLOR Wilson".
Have a good trip and thanks for your efforts.

Thank you so much for the photo of his headstone. This clears up some information we had especially his death date. Did you happen to see Margaret his wife next to him?
Thank you,

Lois,
Woodfin Naylor and his wife Eleanor L. [Nelson} Naylor are buried in Thompson-Naylor Cemetery. About 200 yards behind old Lindwood School in grove of trees. See Obion County Cemeteries Index online.

Lois,
Martha (Mattie) A. Naylor and her brother Henry Harrison Naylor, had a brother named Theodore Friedland Naylor (I have seen Friedland sp several ways).
In the 1880 Census you reference I just went on ancestry.com and looked at it the last name is spelled NAILOR, which is a variation on the name NAYLOR and of course an enumeration would write phonetically. As I look at the mother's initial they are E.L. to me and the child you say is C. C. looks like C.G. to me. So this is the Woodfin and Eleanor Naylor family in the 1880 census.
Think you have it figured out. Henry Harrison Naylor is buried in Bethlehem Cemetery and he can be found at Find A Grave Memorial# 50725098. His son Charles Bell Naylor is at Find A Grave Memorial# 50725262
Hope this helps you. As I said we live in Arizona so I can't go visit the cemetery myself.
Thanks,
Debbie Woods | | | | [View all messages...] |
