Dear Miss Lightfoot:
Referring to your query number 27, published in the seventh installment of the Department of Genealogy and History under date of August 31, 1930, entitled “Lightfoot—Allen.” I believe if you communicate with Mr. W. I.. Lightfoot, General Passenger Agent, Louisville and Nashville Railroad, at Louisville, Kentucky, you will very likely find that he is a descendant of the Davidson County, Tennessee, Lightfoot family. The above Mr. Lightfoot was formerly General Passenger Agent of the Nashville, Chattanooga and the St. Louis Railway with offices at Nashville, Tenn. and had resided in that city for many years.
Very respectfully,
CLAUDE PARK, SENIOR
Member No. 127 Mountain Branch Genealogical and Historical Society

P.S. Carbon copy to Mr. James Madison Davis:

Dear Sir:
You cannot realize how highly interested I am with “Our” department work from a genealogical standpoint. I have just about completed a history of one branch of the PARK family (my line)  and will at a later time have something to write you. My files of the department are complete and I have the best looking scrap book you ever looked at.

(Editor’s note: The authentic history of Western North Carolina that has been fully accepted by Historians, etc., written by Dr. C. L. Hunter and originally published as above stated has been reprinted by the JACOB FORNEY Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Lincolnton, Lincoln County, North Carolina. They are the authorized publishers and have said volume new on sale. We understand that the new edition is rather limited and is rapidly selling at $5.00 per copy. We have never had the opportunity to examine this book and therefore we can only write about it from heresay (sic) and it will be useless to write to this department to see if your family lines are given etc., but we have been informed that the book is a wonderful record of early days in Western North Carolina. We promise our readers to report on same as soon as we have the opportunity to examine the book, as the Genealogical Editor has every reason to believe (except a few dates not yet secured) that we are a direct descendant of JACOB FORNEY, a Huguenot, born in Alsace, France, in 1721. Therefore we will be interested in Dr. Hunter’s history of Western North Carolina.)

ANSWER QUERY FIVE

STOVER—May 31, 1930 issue—J. W. S.—We are in receipt of data concerning a branch of the STOVER family that emigrated from Pennsylvania after the Revolutionary War and settled in Tennessee. It is not known at present whether this branch of the family is related to the branch of the Stover family that settled in White County, Tennessee, in pioneer days. Partly on account of “space” in this issue of the Department of Genealogy and History and partly on account of the Genealogical Editor wishing to communicate further with members of this family now living in east Tennessee we have decided to wait until our next issue before publishing the data we have just obtained. The chances are excellent that before “going to press” for our next issue we will have secured additional data that may materially assist in establishing a relationship between these two branches of the STOVER family.—The genealogical Editor.
