Biographies

Most of the materials in this folder are handwritten biographies and genealogies for certain Madisonians that Tipton was researching for either his History of Madison County, or other newspaper related pieces. A few are typed or published documents, some are written in Tipton's hand, however, most are, presumably, written by interested family members. The Aultz, Davis, Demaree, Downey, Field, Goodloe, Hart, Henderson, Johnson, Jones, Lewis, McClanahan, Miller, Peyton, Rice, Ruble, Smith, Taylor, Tevis and Turner lineages are represented, and, much like the correspondence from Box 1, the majority of the materials are valuable genealogical resources. At one time, some materials in this folder may have accompanied the correspondence found in Box 1, but for one reason or another they were separated during earlier processing projects. Documents related to the Tipton genealogy are found in the next folder in this collection.
