Wickyclark [at] aol [dot] com, March 06, 2004, I am the granddaughter of Lou Etta Hall Walls. My Father was Lloyd. I remember all her sisters but Kate. I never knew she had a sister named Kate. I knew the aunt Kate she talked about. I have a picture of Elmira Featherston Hall and her daughter Matt or Martha, and Uncle Sid, their two daughters Annie Eunice and Vinnie and Aunt Kate McFarland's daughter. Her name escapes me  right this moment. Elmira Hall was my great grandmother although she died long before I was born. My grandma Etta was a slight woman and the picture seems to indicate Elmira was short, too. Have enjoyed your report of the family one that I had no idea about. Never heard the surname Gwaltny except a big Ford franchise around here some place. I live in Brownsville near Memphis. Some of my siblings still live near the home place of the Catharine Walls place, settled there in 1828. That's where Poppa and Momma Walls {Newt and Etta] lived some of the time. And some of the time in Dyer Co., TN on the Tatumville Neboville road. The thing I enjoyed the most was to hear Credy's am I right about that name, Report about her family. A lot of things were similar to my grandparents. Our grandparents stayed around here in TN, never moved, albeit I lived near Chicago for forty years. My husband worked at O'Hare for U S Airways. Sincerely, Shirley Ann Walls Clark

I stumbled upon your website by accident and noticed that some of my family is in your website. I have some up to date info for you if you are interested. I would also like to see how we might be related. My grandfather was Jimmy Richard Rhoades His son, my father was William T. Rhoades. My father died on May 4 1979, not Aug 11 as you have posted. He was buried in Tennesee, Obion Co, I think. He was buried next to his Mother also in Tennesee. My grandfather was also buried there as well.  I can't remember the exact town, but if I think of it, I'll let you know. My name is Richard Earl Rhoades.

Written by request for Joseph E. Rhodes Written by his mother Cledie B.

Born to them was 3 boys, and 3 girls. Benonia Fleait Gwaltney, he got drowned at age 13, Joseph Bevary Gwaltney, Thomas Burton Gwaltney, he d. at age 18 months, Mary Savannah Gwaltney, Savannah who married Jim Furgeson, born to them was 3 girls, 2 boys.

My young girl life
I b. June 28, 1904 my daddy's farm, never lived any place else. He owned this farm before he and my mother married. His daddy got killed the Civil War so his mother raised his family at this little farm. His mother I remember her well she was a neat pretty lady almost a full blooded indian. Dressed well pretty wealthy. She gave my daddy 60 acres and the Gwaltney home place and she went to live with her daughter Aunt Sarah Upton, which was real wealthy. Her husband was a 7th Day Adventist preacher. I've been to their home a lot I really loved Aunt Sarah, especially her pretty jewelry and she would give me so many pretty things. She was a dark tall beautiful Indian lady. My daddy had a sister we called Aunt Dink, she was as nice, never married her boyfriend got killed so she liked to lost her mind. She lived with Aunt Sarah. Aunt Sarah's home was 1 1/2 mile from Elbridge, Tenn. My daddy had 2 brothers whose name was Lee Gwaltney, big farmer, and Cyrus Gwaltney, a big farmer. fact Sam and me lived Uncle Cyrus' farm when our sweet baby Joseph b..

Someone might like to know this. I was our family barber also done all the making of all the children's pants, shirts, underwear, and dresses. Washed clothes a washboard. Ironed with an iron that had to be heated the stove. Scrubbed my floors with a scrub broom and our children looked as pretty as everyones children at church and school. fact they was the prettiest kids the state. I milked our cow, churned the milk, made butter, attended to a big bunch of chickens. All the time and through all that we had time to visit our friends and go to church and visit our folks too. Also, I chopped cotton, picked cotton, gathered corn, plowed our garden, and canned vegtables and fruit. Always had lot of flowers our yard. So, I was quite a busy housewife. Ofcourse Sam worked hard, so did our children. With water to pump, mules and hogs and cows, kindling to get in, wood to chop and carry in. They was smart children if I do say so and when they needed spanking they got that too.
