THE PRES !DENT I S lETTER
Dear Members,
By this time, we hope you've planned to attend the Seminar, July
18, Saturday,9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Pi Kappa Alpha National
Headquarters, 577 University.Please make checks payable, Tennessee
Genealogical Society, Box 12124, Memphis,Tennessee 38112, $3.00.
This fee includes lunch catered by Robilio's. Hostesseswill be
Chairman, Thelma Wilson, Alyce Garson, Jewel Standefer and
Katherine Young.Jessie Webb, Vice President, is in charge of the
Seminar.
We wish to take this opportunity to thank the Pi Kappa Alpha
Fraternity for theirgenerous cooperation in extending to us the use
of the lovely roomS at theFraternity house. We are proud to be
associated with them. Deadline for regis-tration is July 16. We are
pleased Mr. Leon S. Hollingsworth will be our speaker--his subject,
"Migratory Patterns into and out of Georgia," with related
subjects.Mrs. Hollingsworth will be our guest also. We look forward
to their visit withus.
On April 20, Monday evening, Mr. Jas. L. Garthright, spoke to us
on "Legal Termsin Old Records." It was interesting and
entertaining. We wish to express ourappreciation to Mr. Garthright
for sharing his busy schedule with us.
Mr. Hugh B. Johnston, Jr. of Wilson, North Carolina, has
accepted our invitationas our guest in 1971 provided he doesn't
teach summer school.
At a recent "book exchange" meeting, we were delighted to have
Miss Reba Orman,Head, Local History and Genealogical Section. and
Mr. Nathan Josel Jr., Head,History Department, visit us. We planned
a "group visit" to Cossitt Library. Wefeel the necessity of
learning how to use the card catalogue and indexes. Oncewe have
familiarized ourselves with the files, we can easily locate a book
on theshelves. We will keep you informed on further developments.
It is appropriateat this time to mention the growth of our library
system here in Memphis and ourassociation with them. When the
building is completed at Mclean, one floor willbe devoted to
History and Genealogy, with a trained staff; Thus making thelibrary
one of the finest research centers in the south. We might add that
manyout-of-town subscribers may find it interesting and inspiring
to learn that theTennessee Genealogical Society, formerly Memphis
Genealogical Society, was foundedby a small group of dedicated
people of forethought. At first, on a small scale,they placed
genealogical books in Cossitt Library through the sale of
"Ansearchin'"News. Since then, many volumes have found their way to
the shelves of Cossitt.We aspire to follow their concepts and
continue to grow in stride in our futureassociation with the
Library. The charter members first met in the homes of themembers.
For a long time, this was continued. Now we meet every third Monday
at
~ the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity House at 10:00 a.m. till 4:00
p.m. every month ex-cepting January, April, July and October, then
at 7:30 p.m. at McLean Library.Charter members: Virginia Brooks,
founder and first President; Nancy Caradine,Evelyn Brooks, Mary
Deupree, Ruth Warner, Wilena Bejach, Bertie Bates, Helen

Gardiner, Jennie Allensworth, FranceMcKitrick, Betty Cartwright,
Louise Widman, Margaret Bell, Wilma George, Cleo Scott,Ne ]lie
Ayres and Ruth Duncan.
Our Treasurer, Mr. Caya Phillips, and Jewel Standefer, Editor,
report we have hadexcellent response in both departments. Mrs.
Henry Crymes has been elected tothe office of Librarian. A book,
"The Plantagenet Ancestry," has been placed inthe Library as a

BloodRoya]" by Count d'Angerville in memory of Margaret McNeill
Ayres. By the timeyou receive this issue, many of you will be on
trips doing research. I wish youhappy hunting and good luck.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
The staff of "Ansearchin'" News expresses its sincere
appreciation to Miss MaryRowe Ruble, Historian of Cocke County,
Tennessee, for her contribution of theonly extant record book left
in the county after the courthouse burned in 1876.Miss Nancy
Lampson prepared the deed manuscript which is of such importance
tothose doing research in that area that we are omitting, this
issue, the YellowFever Deaths in Memphis, 1878, and the West
Tennessee Land Grants. The compi-lation of these Cocke County data
provides our readers with a new and fulsomehistory of persons
living in that portion of East Tennessee. The
indefatigableresearcher on this project has been Mr. T. P. Hughes,
Jr., to whom we owe a debtof gratitude.
*** CORRECTION ***One of our subscribers, familiar with the
Madison County, Tennessee records, hasbrought to our attention an
error in deciphering, from microfilm, a name listedon page 6], 1840
Census of Madison County. This name read as Robert J. Clustershould
be Robert J. Chester. Mr. Chester was the prominent citizen whose
namewas given to the new county of Chester in 1875. Please correct
your pages sothat this eminent gentleman will be included.
*** NEWS AND NOTES ***t-1rs. LeRoy Floyd, Route 2, Box 194, Duck
Hill, Mississippi 38925, Editor ofPENNINGTON PEDIGREES, is eager to
contact Penningtons everywhere. All fourcopies, lY69, have been
received by our librarian. Why not share your Penningtonfamily
papers with Mrs. Floyd for publication?
