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 Carney,Melville Page, Frances Clark, Ruth Hooker, Sadie Maxwell, Margaret Ayres, LeliaReynolds, Grace Love, Laurence and Lillian 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 memorial to Ruth Henley Duncan and "Living Descendants of 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.

Sincerely,

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?
