I am trying to determine if Frank J Roberts (Red Boiling Springs-Whiteyville area) had another wife besides Ellen.

I have an article on this pastor that states he accepted a call to the baptist church at Moss Creek, Tenn. I can't find a Moss Creek but I do find a Moss. Is this the same place and can anybody tell me the name of the church there. I am doing a history write-up of my church and he was once a pastor there. And if anyone knows any bio on this man, I'd certainly appreciate it.

John and Elizabeth Clements in Clay and Jackson Counties TN

kmckennamn — 25 Sep 2007 11:02:11 GMT

John Clements (Clemans, Clemmons)and Elizabeth Eckells (Eakle, Eagle)came to Jackson County TN in 1806 from Augusta County VA. John was a Revolutionary War vet and I have his pension application. They had a large family and I believe all of the children, John M, Christopher, Catherine, Elizabeth, and Margaret, came too. Christopher ended up in Clay County, yet he and most of his sons were lawyers, so were in Gainesboro often. I am not sure if John Clements lived out his life in the Gainesboro area or moved to Clay County. I would love to connect with anyone researching this family. I have lots of information.

My Thacker Line and Link

elmemmo — 23 Sep 2007 3:02:19 GMT

I am posting a link to some information I have gathered on my line of Thackers and other lines. I am interested in obtaining any information I can on Absalom Thacker. I know that he was either born in VA or NC. In 1936 he appears in Hawkins Cty and marries a Catherine Winegar. He is in Grainger Cty in 1850, in 1860 Catherine is in Claiborne Cty with her children. Absalom had remarried, Mary Earls, and had a son with her, George Washington Thacker b.1858. Absalom died about 1860 in or around Clay Cty. Mary Earls then marries Alexander Smith in Mudlick IN. If any of this sounds familiar or you have information please contact me. I would love to share what I have.

Cemetary Questions - McDonald, Turkeytown & Moss

kaycolorado — 31 May 2006 4:54:40 GMT

Does anyone know whether Turkeytown Cemetary ever been surveyed - burials recorded, etc? I'd prefer something organized by burial location but I will be ecstatic if I can find anything at all.

If it has been, how can I go about getting a copy?

-- Same questions about McDonald Cemetary

Is "Moss Cemetary" the same cemetary that is next to the Church of Christ on Hwy 52 or is there another? Or more than one other?

I'd appreciate any information.

Thanks,

Pam

TAYS/TAYES/TAYSE -- JOHNSON -- NEELY/NEALY

Jerry Smith — 13 Jul 2006 5:13:39 GMT

Loking for more info on my grandmother Rebecca Tayes (sp??) who married Wint Johnson, son of Bill Johnson and Julie Hughs. She was born in 1886/87, married in 1904, and died in 1960. She was daughter of Sam Tayes and MIranda Neely (have seen spelling on this as MARanda Neely and MORanda Nealy as well - may/ may not be same person)
She came from Clay/Overton county (Hilham/Celina) area. She and Wint had a farm (~100 acres) that State of TN took away and flooded as part of the TVA Dale Hollow Damn project. As a little girl, she did not go to school - she had a tutor teacher her (well-to-do family ???)She usually went by the name of Beckey. Both my mother and grandmother had very clear Native American features. My grandmother is buried in a graveyard which is actually inside the Standing Stone State Park (believe it's the Johnson family or Concord graveyard)

This is all I have to go on, so please, I need any help that I can get! Thanks very much

Dr. Barton H. Moss

babycatlori0262 — 5 Dec 2006 3:26:27 GMT

Hello everyone, I am looking for information on my 3rd great grandfather Dr. Barton H. Moss and his marriage to his first wife Marinda Carter born 1845 in Tn, and died 1880 in TN. Barton's date of birth was 20 May 1845 and date of death as 20 Jul 1933 in Willow, Oklahoma. I have the 1870 and 1880 census with them together.

I can't find any census with my 3rd great granmother Ella Moss listed.

Ella Moss - McAlpin(e) born 3 Nov 1866 in Clay - Jackson Co, Tn and died 18 May 1947 in Addington, Jefferson co, OK her father is Dr. Barton Harlon Moss, her mother is suppose to be Marinda M. Carter

Barton and Marinda were married in 1867 1 year after Ella's birth so i'm thinking Ella's mother may be someone else..

Ella Moss married George Washington McAlpin(e) between 1880 and 1883 had three children. They split up and She remarried to a George W. Kendall and ahd more children.

Family history handed down by word of mouth was that Marinda died in the 1880. My great grandmother Clara (Ella's grand daughter) told us that Barton was treating a patient and he died of natural causes, but the patients wife blamed Barton and put quick silver in Bartons well killing Marinda and several children.

Does this ring a bell with anyone, I am at a loss on verifing this and could use a push in the right direction.

Alta (Raines) Veatch

rsmcbride1 — 8 Sep 2006 11:23:36 GMT

I am searching for information about my ggrandmother. My grandfather did not know where she was buried and I'm not having much luck myself.
Alta is in the 1910 Clay Co. census (21y/o). She had her youngest child in 1912. Her husband's (John Wesley Veatch) WWI draft card dated June 1917 lists him as single and sole support of his children. So her est. death date is between 1912 and 1917.
My question is, are there any sources to check for that time period to see what cemetery she might be buried in? My feeling is that she has no stone, but I would love to at least know the cemetery.
Thank you very much.

Alta (Altie) Raines

rsmcbride1 — 20 May 2002 12:50:45 GMT

I cannot find any info about my great grandmother Alta Raines. She would have been born in the early 1890s. She married John Wesley Veatch (b.1888). Her first child was born 1906. She was probably from Clay Co. but could have been Jackson or Macon Cos. Her living children were Dewey, Gettie (Sewell), and Lanzy Veatch. I do not know the names of any of her parents, siblings, etc. I do know that she died at a young age. ANY leads would be greatly appreciated.

Hananiah Lincoln - Buried Clay County TN

George Jones — 26 Jul 2006 7:40:46 GMT

Hi,

I am writing a magazine article about Hananiah Lincoln (1756 PA - 1814 TN) ... 1st cousin of Abraham Lincoln Sr. ( Grandfather of Abe Lincoln)

Does your have info on Hananiah in Clay? http://www.tngenweb.org/clay/ClayCem.htm

I know this Tinsley Bottom part of TN use to be Cumberland CO KY.

Hananiah Lincoln, Buried Clay Co 1814 -- New Headstone 1986

He married a Lucy Wilson in 1801 Cumberland Co KY.

He was a Rev War Vet and somebody said they had a cermony in 1986 with a new headstone.

He had a son Thomas Lincoln ... that local legend in Monroe and Cumberland CO KY says he was the father of Abe Lincoln. Is that legend in your area of TN also?

Any other places you can suggest?

Pls post and also email to joneshistorian@yahoo.com

Thanks,

George Jones

JOHNSON -- TAYS (TEAS, TASE, TAYSE, TEASE) -- SMITH

Jerry Smith — 23 Jul 2006 5:15:56 GMT

My grandmother was Rebecca Tayes who married Wint Johnson in 1904. She was born in 1886 and was daughter of Sam Tayes (or Tays/Tayse/etc) and MIranda Neely (have seen spelling on this as MARanda Nealy and MORanda Neely as well - may/ may not be same person)

Her father and mother may have moved into Overton county -- could not find an entry in the 1880 census -- but we believe my grandmother was born in the Clay/Overton county area (Hilham/Celina)

As a little girl, she did not go to school - she had a tutor as a teacher (well-to-do family ???) She usually went by the name of Beckey.

Beckey and Wint had a farm (~100+ acres) that State of TN took away and flooded as part of the TVA Dale Hollow Dam project. Both my mother and grandmother had very clear Native American features. My grandmother died in 1960 in Sparta.

Beckey Johnson's daughter was my mother (Bonnie Evelyn Johnson) who married Leo ("Chig") Fred Smith in 1944.

I am having an awful time trying to trace the Johnson / Tayes side of my family given the many ways that Tayes might have been spelled! Please, any help that I can get is much appreciated!!

Thank you
Jerry Smith

Questions about driving to Clay County (Clementsville) from Nashville

kmckennamn — 13 Jun 2005 3:31:15 GMT

I will be visiting Clay County in July to find out more about the Clements family and I am curious about the driving from Nashville to Clementsville. Yahoo map shows that it is 80+ miles and that we go into KY and back to TN to get there.
Is this mountainess terrain? Can we easily drive from Nashville to Clementsville in 90 minutes?
Should we stay in Nashville (we want to use the State Library) or is there a place closer to Clementsville?
Are there any historical societies close to Clementsville or any place to let us know what cemeteries are close by?
Are there any Clements left in Clementsville?
