BAKER, PEARCE

Trying to locate land in Polk County that was an Ocoee grant of 160 acres described as the Northwest Quarter of Section 29 of Township 1 in Range 2 East of the Meridian. That plat belonged to GEORGE BAKER when he died intestate in 1847, then was bought at auction by his son-in-law JOHN PEARCE (from Bradley Chancery Records). John Pearce was living there in the 1850 census (Polk 4th Civil District), but had moved to Bradley County by the 1860 census. How can I find the location and present owner(s) of that land, given the loss of Polk County deeds prior to 1893?

CAMERON

I am searching for a William H CAMERON and his origins.  I found him in Bradley county, he married Mary Ann DAUGHTERY in Cleveland Aug 1850.  So I began searching surrounding counties census records and found a William CAMERON in the 1840 census in Polk county.  All I know about him is that he was born in Ireland, married in Cleveland, Bradley county in 1850 and had his first child a year later in Barry county, MO.  He was not found on the 1850 Bradley county census, so I find myself at a loss as to where to turn to next. How do I ascertain whether this is the CAMERON in Polk county that I am looking for? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated as Ive been stuck on him for years.  He met an untimely death during the Civil War and Ive always wondered when and how he came to be in MO...Did he parallel the migration routes, follow other family members?

43RD TENN. INF. CSA

I am developing a regimental history of my ggrandfather's, James Madison Martin, regiment, the 43rd Tennessee Infantry, CSA, intend to publish which will include a complete roster, by individual companies, including as much pertinent biographical information possible on each of the soldiers.  He had three brothers in Co. K including Issac Martin who died at Vicksburg. I have the national archives microfilm rolls of the regiments service records, Official Records of the War, Tennesseans in the Civil War,  and most of the basic reference works . Since most official confederate army records did not survive, I am looking for letters, diaries, momentos, photos, papers, histories, etc., Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. A memorial ceremony will be conducted on Confederate Memorial Day, April 26, 1998 (I believe) at the Vicksburg, Miss. City Cemetery dedicating newly placed tomb stones for Confederate soldiers, including 31 of those from the 43rd Tenn.
