CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THE DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH RADER, b. ABOUT 1792 IN NORTH CAROLINA AND d. BETWEEN 1863 AND 1870? MARY ANN FOX RADER WAS b. ABOUT 1793 IN NORTH CAROLINA AND DIED AFTER 1870.

JOSEPH RADER AND HIS FAMILY MIGRATED TO HANCOCK COUNTY BEFORE 1850 FROM BURKE COUNTY, NC, AND SETTLED NEAR HIS SISTER, ANNA MARIE [MARY] RADER COOK, HUSBAND MICHAEL COOK AND THEIR FAMILY. ON 17 FEBRUARY 1854, HE BOUGHT A 118 ACRE FARM FROM OVERTON AND NANCY ANN NUCKLES WHICH WAS LOCATED EAST OF THORN HILL IN GRAINGER COUNTY AND ON THE RIVER. ON 2 FEBRUARY 1863, JOSEPH CONVEYED 18 ACRES TO HIS DAUGHTER SUSANNA MATILDA RADER COLLINS AND HUSBAND EMANUEL COLLINS. THIS 18 ACRES INCLUDED "COLLINS MILL" NEAR CLINCH RIVER. THE REMAINDER OF HIS FARM WAS DIVIDED AMONG HIS HEIRS AFTER HIS DEATH, WHICH WAS SOMETIME BETWEEN 1863 AND 1870.

ONE DAUGHTER, MARY JANE LEE, MARRIED CARR B. LEE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN THE SON OF HENRY LEE?

ALL OF THE CHILDREN LISTED BELOW FOR JOSEPH AND MARY FOX RADER ARE PROBABLY NOT THEIRS.

Come join us....

I am hosting a website at MyFamily.com. If this posting sounds interesting, email me and I will add you to the website.

Most recently I have added many people to this website who are also researching connected families of the Powell Valley Region.

If you have family members or distant relatives or even know someone who is working on their family history; you should invite them to join us at this website. Also others who are researchers and genealogists are also welcome. Just contact me with their interest and I will send them an invitation as well.

Marriage lookup Please! Elizabeth Coleman Corbin to Unknown McNew

cindylou75050 — 14 May 2008 1:46:21 GMT

Elizabeth Coleman born 1811 North Carolina married Alfred Corbin abt. 1831 in Claiborne County, TN. She is listed as a widow on the 1860 census, but on the 1870 and 1880 Union County census, she is listed with her son-in-law John Collinsworth as Elizabeth McNew.

Alfred Corbin's will was made in 1853, so his death is figured between 1853-1860 census time. Any other marriage she might have had would have been after 1860, but again widowed from a McNew before 1870.

cindylou75050 — 31 Mar 2008 6:44:52 GMT

Can anyone find marriage records of William C. Maples? I have some trepidation with Sarah's first married name. Maybe there is some marriage records for her. Her daughter Jane Martin is living with William and Sarah on the 1900 census along with her daughter Cordie Rice. Jane is divorced it would seem from Clinton Rice. Her name being Martin makes me wonder if Sarah's first marriage was to a Martin rather than a Partin.

Robert Cary and John Tate Families in Claiborne Co., Tennessee 1800-1802

alantate182 — 8 Mar 2008 2:17:33 GMT

A fellow Tate family researcher has in her possession a family register prepared for Robert Cary dated 1800. She has provided me with a photocopy of the complete booklet. The original, she says, is covered in linen. The inside of the front and back cover depict samples of cursive writing, which means the blank booklet may have been manufactured as a school notebook.

Walter Evans made the first entries in 1800. He apparently updated the document in 1802. Many entries are for persons born after 1802, which are in several different handwritings. I have left the original capitalization and spelling intact within quotation marks.

From the “History of Claiborne County,” transcribed by Fred Smoot, Walter Evans was the Clerk of the County Court for Claiborne County between 1801 and 1816.

search under moseley spelling, for MOSLEY records

genealogy126126 — 22 Nov 2007 4:47:10 GMT

copy of OSLEY board post for this
Claiborne Co. TN 1860 us census family
Look under Moseley spelling to find thousands of MOSLEY records in database moseley2 on the family trees (worldconnect) at www.rootsweb.com

for instance, one recent (born a dec 1824 TN) Jeremiah/Jerry Mosley or Morley or Moseley family listed on this board is posted there at (Jeremiah/Jerry's descendants)
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&db=moseley...

or (Jeremiah/Jerry's ancestors at)
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=AHN&db=moseley...

with thousands of Mozley&Mosely&Mosley&Moseley records to display on databases moseley2 and moseley1
I,Forsythe just choose the most frequent spelling to use for standardized suname spelling, because standardized surname spelling produces a COMPREHENSIVE list of all of that surname sound, alphbetized merely by first name. If surname spelling not alphabetized, then y'all would have to guess what spelling the record scribe happened to use (hard to guess!). For instance the 1860 an 1880 US censuses of Jeremiah Mosley spelled his surname Moseley, as I recall

BTW: using the email addresses listed on databases moseley1 and moseley2 will get you faster and more accurate replies, rather than writing using this particular email address listed for all my rootsweb Board postings.

On the 1880 Census Anna is living in Claiborne Co. with her nephew Hiram Thacker son of Absalom Thacker. Absalom was born abt 1815 in Va. and we have no family for him. Since Hiram lists Anna as his Aunt and the entire household is listed as Thacker there must be a connection between Dandridge and Absalom but we could use some help verifying this and or more details on any of their family.
Thanks.

It seems that Matilda had lived in North Carolina & was previously married to a W P Farmer and they had two daughters - Nancy(married to Silas Shopshire) and Margaret(married to Bill Waller).
It is said that Matilda was born in SC in 3/46 and was Cherokee but have not been able to verify this.
On various census they were listed as "Daniel"
