Joseph Bowen, b ca 1849 Coffee County, Tennessee

ALLETS — 22 Aug 2008 8:04:39 GMT

Joseph Bowen, father William M Bowen [b ca 1824 Rutherford County, Tenn] and mother Elizabeth, surname unknown were on the 1850 Coffee County Census. The pages they are on are missing on the Ancestry search, but I found them some time back when reading the actual film. William was the son of Thomas Bowen [1799-1862] and Rebecca Walkup.

What happened to William? Died in the Civil War? Migrated elsewhere? The only Joseph I find in the area who matches the time frame, shows up with Temperance [Tempe] Bowen, no William. Is this Elizabeth listed under a second name? What about Joseph? In 1870 Joseph, Temperance/Tempe and Catherine, b ca 1852 are together. Is Catherine a sister or wife to Joseph? Can't find them in 1860 to see if Catherine is in the h/h. A different person shows up as Joseph's wife in later census. Could this Joseph be William M Bowen's son? Or is this another person altogether?

Joshua — 25 Jan 2004 9:35:30 GMT

I am trying to locate the family of Thomas Edward Young, son of William. He is buried at Holland Hill Cemetery. I would like to talk to whomever is over the cemetery. It is so neat and lovely out in the middle of nowhere.Thomas Young 1863-1933 had a sister by the name of Martha Ann. I would really like to know what happened to her. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. I can not find her after she married a Thomas A. Bowen. What could have happened to her?

Autie/Auta Paschal

RebeccaRose53 — 30 Apr 2008 9:14:17 GMT

My family that I'm researching are the Duncans of Cannon and Coffee Counties. I recently received an old yearbook/autograph book that had belonged to my great aunt Alma Duncan. The inscriptions in it are from 1890, Beech Grove, TN, and one of the easier to read inscriptions is from a schoolmate named 'Autie Paschal'. I found an Auta Paschal living in Bradyville, Cannon County, in the 1880 census. She is listed as niece, living with and Edmond and Bettie Talor (Taylor?). Edmond is listed as 'M.D.' for occupation.

Her inscription reads 'Many glad birthday(s?) may you see And may each bring glad thoughts of me.'

Does anyone know about this young lady? I will also be posting this query on the Cannon County board.
Thanks, Rebecca

Templeton/Duncan families of TN

RebeccaRose53 — 28 Apr 2008 5:37:27 GMT

Wondering about a possible link between the Jasper or Benton Templeton families, and the Oliver or Isaac Duncan families. Has anyone researched this? I noticed that my g-grandfather (Isaac Denny Duncan) in the 1860 census was living nearby as a young boy to the Jasper Templeton household. (Isaac Denny Duncan is actually orphaned and living in a Lemmons/Simmons? household.)

Benton Bell Templeton was also living with Jasper Templeton, apparently his older brother. What got my attention was the similarity of names--Isaac Duncan went on to have several children and name them Benton, Bell, John Templeton, and so on. Perhaps they were just good friends, but it makes me wonder if they could have been related?
Any information on the Templeton family appreciated.
Regards, Rebecca

John Harvey and Annie Frances BUSH

Is anyone out there related to either of these families or have information on them?

I am looking for information on my great grandmother Hester Wilson. She was born abt 1865 in TN. I am not sure what her maiden name was. She was married to a Will Wilson. She was living in Paint Rock, Jackson County, AL in the 1910 Census. She had 2 sons Fulton James & Sam. Both boys were born in Tullahoma, TN. Hester and her 2 sons were working at the Pencil Factory in Paint Rock. Will Wilson had passed away by this time. In the 1920 & 1930 Census, Hester was living with her son Fulton. In 1946, both her sons passed away. Sam passed away in Jan 1946. On his obit, it stated that he had a mother Hester Wilson living in Manchester, TN at the time. His brother Fulton died in Oct 1946. There was no mention of Hester. I believe that she died sometime between Jan and Oct of 1946. I just can't find anything on her death.. Any help would be appreciated.

John and Jacob Lemmons lookups in Coffee Co. Books?

antiquemll — 9 May 2007 2:37:55 GMT

I am looking for ANYTHING on John and Jacob Lemmons (could be spelled many ways!)who were living in Coffee Co. in 1840 census.
I believe but am not sure that the 2 sons of John Lemmons are Jacob W. and Isaac. I believe that John's father was Jacob who was 70-80 years old in the 1840 Coffee Co. census. Below are the census from this county. Any lookups would be appreciated in any Coffee Co. marriage (even female since it looks like John had many daughters), deed, probate or circuit court books! Julie Coley - Wichita Falls, TX

John Lemmons is in the 1840 Coffee Co. census with 2 males 15-20, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 2 females 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 2 females 20-30 and 1 female 40-50

Also listed in the 1840 Coffee Co. Census is Jacob Lemmons who is not far from John (on the same census page) 1 Male 70-80, 1 Female 60-70.

Wm E. & Belle Reed Family - 1920 Census

DeenaBeckman — 24 Apr 2007 9:27:47 GMT

The 1920 Coffee Co., TN census includes a family headed by William E. and Belle Reed (both b 1880ish). Children are Bessie and "Elbern". By 1930 this family was in Rutherford Co., TN. Bessie was then 17. "Elbern" (12) was now spelled "Elvin". I am not sure which spelling is correct. There was another daughter by then, Rubie Lee (10). Earlier, William's 1918 WWI Draft Registration shows that he and Belle were living in Cannon Co. William E. Reed may have been a son of Adam J. Reed whose family was in Cannon Co. in 1880. If so, William's siblings would include Becton(?), Jesse, Chester Arthur and Lila. Is anyone familiar with this family? I need dates of death for William E. and Belle (possibly Nannie Belle) Reed. I would love to hear from any of their surviving children or grandchildren. Any information at all about William, Belle and their children would be welcome.

Soldier:James Wesley Jones
Born:December 6, 1929, Caucasian
Date of loss: DEcember 2, 1950, captured (POW) in North Korea, His remains were never recovered

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 35 families in TN that have not been located. There is one family from Coffee County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

I have in hand a copy of Sale of Property from Aron Wilson to Alexander E. Patton, dated February 25, 1843. Aron Wilson lived in Henry Co. Va. This Sale of Property is filed in State of Tennessee, County of Coffee.

We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else.

KinMapper — 15 Jan 2007 3:58:30 GMT

We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else.

We have a family tree of nearly 35000 (35K) Kittrell descendants and spouses that is totally private and a MyFamily site that is private and free and available to all Kittrell descendants and spouses.

Just post or e-mail if you fit the bill and want to see thousands of bits of Kittrell info.

The area of the future Gates County of North Carolina is the origin in the USA of the largest Kittrell family and Bertie County, NC was the home of one or more of the next generation, and later they moved on through Craven, Pitt, Granville, Carteret, Davidson and other NC counties as land grew to scarce for the number of male heads of household to feel that they could prosper.

After that period of homesteading in various counties, many in some branches moved to other states including many times over Tennessee, with Sumner appearing to be one of the first stops and many times over Maury County and other coumties including listed alphabetically Anderson, Cannon, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Hamilton, Henry Hickman, Jackson, Knox, Lawrence, Lewis, Loudon, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Meigs, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Perry, Rutherford, Shelby, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, White, Williamson, Wilson and Weakley Counties, among many other, later became the home of many Kittrells of one line or another or multiple lines.

Anyone with Kittrell in their lore please write or post or both!

Anyone with Kittrell in any Tennessee document is welcome to write and to share info on an area rich in Kittrells, complicated to delineate from which Kittrell they descend and of which we have a large knowledge. We lose track of some of the female Kittrell lines consistently in every generation and would like to add them back to the family tree.

The name has many spellings through the centuries in public record including as examples only Kittrell, Kittrel, Kitrel, Kitrell, Kitterlin, Kitterill, Kitterell,..., leterally dozens or literally dozens depending how well you spell such things.

We will assist anyone on Kittrell matters (for free of course other than the wealth we get from both of us sharing some of what we know).

And we will be most pleased to find more missing links broken from our tree due to distance and change of generations to those who barely know a whit of their Kittrell kin.

Wooten or Simmons Tullahoma, Coffee County, TN

bee_healthy — 7 Apr 2003 7:43:23 GMT

I was happy to find that you have relatives named Simmons so close to where my relatives lived. Perhaps we may be related in some way. Here is some information about mine.

My grandfather's name was George Gwynn Wooten. His wife/ my grandmother's maiden name was Nethie Simmons. They lived in Hillsboro for many years. He passed on, then she passed around 1975. Their children's names: Alva Attenas Wooten Carpenter, Ezella Wooten Dixon, Arnie and wife Geneva, George Blanton and wife Dixie, and Blevis (Pete) and wife Betty. All have passed on except for Dixie, Pete and Betty.

On the Simmons side: Charlie Simmons and his wife Alta (spelling?), Corb Simmons and his wife Ola, daughter Izenith.
Zena Simmons Halbert was Nethie's sister. Another close relative to Nethie was Della (married name unknown at this time).

I hope this helps you and me. Thanks!

CROSSLIN & MOORE of Falls Co, TX / Coffee Co, TN

Gayle Ragland — 19 Nov 2006 12:33:29 GMT

I am looking for information on Venus CROSSLIN and Clara Mae CROSSLIN.

I have found record of a Venus CROSSLIN married to David D. MOORE (who was later married to Maurine CLAGHORN) in 1925. I have found record of Clara Mae CROSSLIN married to (David’s brother) Elmer Roy MOORE on Jan 31, 1921. The information I have was transcribed from “Families of Falls County,” compiled and edited by the Falls County Historical Commission. David and Elmer were the sons of Abraham Alonzo MOORE and Minnie DRAKE of Falls County, TX

I am unsure if this posting is the same women I’m searching for, but I believe it is. The information on the Venus and Clara Mae CROSSLIN that I’m looking for is as follows:

They are the daughters of John Ewell CROSSLIN (b) Aug 3, 1882 (d) Sep 22, 1908, buried in Farrar Hill Cemetery, Coffee County, TN. His death certificate shows his date of death as Sep 25, 1908. His wife Ida Muncy SPINDLE (b) Aug 17, 1881, Noah, Coffee County, TN (d) Mar 14, 1914, (this date is on a headstone, but may also be different than her death certificate) buried at Farrar Hill Cemetery, Coffee Co, TN

The information that I was given from a family member was that Venus CROSSLIN moved to Texas and Clara Mae CROSSLIN married a MOORE.

Any information known on these families would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for anyone looking for the following families below who are listed in the 21 District of Dade Co, GA in the 1850 Census. I'm unsure if the men are brothers or cousins, but I am sure they are related.

An 1891 letter written by James McCoy Carlisle, Sr., b. 1811, to his son, James McCoy Carlisle, Jr., b. 1851, discusses James Sr.'s family history and has recently come to light. We already had the names of James McCoy Carlisle, Sr.'s mom and dad, Jane (McCoy), b. 1779 in NC, and William W. Carlisle, b. 1784 in PA, and we knew his grandfather Carlisle was named "James." We now have his McCoy grandparents: Robert and Margaret McCoy. We know the McCoys came from NC, that Robert was probably of Irish descent and that Margaret was a "full-blooded Scotsman." We believe Margaret was widowed by 1798 and that these McCoys and related McDonalds and Angus/Anguish McIntosh were all in Garrard Co., KY by then, and that the Anguish McIntosh who married the widowed Mrs. Margaret McCoy there in 1798 is very likely "ours." We think the McCoys, McDonalds, and Carlisles first met in KY, though they may have met in NC. We are certain these families were very closely related and that these related Carlisles, McCoys, McDonalds, and McIntoshes then migrated to middle TN between 1798 and 1809, settling in Bedford and Coffee Co., in the Beech Grove area.

Hope to hear from anyone interested in these families and migrations.

William’s second wife was Elizabeth ESPY. Their marriage information shows William born in Coffee Co, and Elizabeth born in Cannon Co. They were married in Coffee County on Jun 22, 1882. Elizabeth divorced William May 1888. They had no children that I am aware of. I need all information possible on Elizabeth.

I have found an Elizabeth ESPY who divorced Thomas ESPY in 1880. It appears these two are probably Charles Thomas ESPY and Elizabeth FRAIZER. I’m trying to find out if this is the same Elizabeth that married William???

William’s third wife was Virginia BOULDIN from Tracy City, TN (b) Mar 2, 1853 (d) Oct 25, 1921 and is buried in Hillsboro. I’m not sure when or where they married. They had a girl who died at birth and a son, William Forrest PARKER. I have most of the information on Forrest’s family.

William’s fourth wife was Minnie HARMON. They married on Jun 4, 1924, in Coffee Co. They had a child that died at birth and a son, William Thomas PARKER.

If anyone can shed any information on any of these families, I would greatly appreciate your help!

Thank you!
