July 2002 "Belcher Blues" Newsletter
Welcome to the July issue of the "Belcher Blues".
Tennessee and Florida are featured in this issue.
Most of the early Belchers were in Hawkins and Smith Counties.
Louisana and Arkansas Will be our Research States for next month.
Let us take special time this month to be thankful for our wonderful country.
Thankful for our military, today and in the past, that keep our families safe.
Teddy Roosevelt once said,
the world will never love Americans, they will fear us, they will respect us, and they are jealous, but they will never love us because we are free, unafraid, and brash.
These Words have shown to be true.

Editorial Note:
In the 2 1/2 years we have been putting the "Belcher Blues" Research newsletter on the internet and the years of our genealogy research websites, We have had only a few complaints. 99% of you are very appreciative of the work we do. People find things wrong and send in corrections, or send in their family lines, and we change them as soon as possible.
The Genealogy and the Newsletter is freely distributed to all.
We do post letters, wills, and documents that are written, as is, and the early settlers english was not up to today's standards. We dont hire anyone to do our websites or use a webmaker, We build them ourselves. If you right click on the background of a website, this one or any other, a box comes up, in that box, click source, then the html codes for the website comes up. You will see what it involves making a page.
So if you run across a typo, please ignore it, most of the time, if its a date, you can tell what it was meant to be. Although Belcher, Ramey, O'Dell combination of ancestry is almost near perfect, we are no where near that angelic state.
You readers are much appreciated by us and the information you send to us is deeply appreciated by all researchers.
Happy who,
with bright regard looks back
Upon his father's fathers;
who with joy
Recounts their deeds of grace,
and in himself
Values the latest link in the fair chain
Of noble sequences;
for nature loves
Not at one bound to achieve her topmost type,
But step by step she leads a family on
To demigod or devil;
the rare joy
Or horror of the world."
--Goethe's Iphigenia.
In this America, this wilderness
Where the axe echoes with a lonely sound,
the generations labor to possess
and Grave by Grave we civilize the ground.

The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;...
Psalms 11-12
