Help! Please; re:Tennessee Land Records

Sparkylady2010 — 2009-06-28 03:53:28Z

Looking for Tennessee Land records online for years 1830-1860. Unable to find any at all except for where you have to be a citizen of Tennessee to access, in which I am not.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Looking for records with names of Pleasant M. and Christopher Johnson (Johnston) in the above time frame. Possibly Gibson or Madison Counties. Tennessee.

Re: old St. Mary's Catholic Hospital in Humboldt,tn

jameslgreen1 — 2009-06-27 14:55:43Z

Trenton had Oursler clinic. I hope I am spelling this correctly. It was located on High St.

I was born in St Marys in 1940's. My grandmother's uncle donated the land for the hospital and park.(Bailey)

I am sure the Courier Chronicle newspaper has photos of hospital.

Re: Lewis/ Jemima/Wilson Brown Family

DeanGlover1 — 2009-06-19 14:46:51Z

Tennessee State Marriages has a marriage of Wilson Brown to Dolly Glasscock 18 Nov 1828 in Gibson Co TN.

This is some 5 Months after the June 1828 court record of Gibson Co TN wherein Wilson Brown is made guardian to his 4 children in a matter relating to a legacy to his children from their grandparents Lewis and Jemima Brown.

Can anyone be sure if Lewis and Jemima are the parents of Lewis Brown, or were they parents of Wilson Brown's deceased first wife? I'm just curious, due to the wording of the court record. I'd like to know more about this family

Re: old St. Mary's Catholic Hospital in Humboldt,tn

LEAnthony65 — 2009-06-15 16:17:51Z

St. Mary's was a pretty nice small town hospital back in it's day. My dad worked on it when it was built and later on additions. They made it into a nursing home in it's later days. It was just torn down in the last few years.
My family has a lot of sad and happy memories from the old hospital. Lots of my kinfolk's babies were born there and lots of my kin died there including my Dad and Grandfather. My oldest child was born there in 1956 and I spent a few days there in the early 1950s. I believe there are some pictures of the hospital on the Gibson County website.

James L. CANNON

JENNI1 — 2009-04-06 19:40:44Z

My gg grandfather was James L. CANNON, born circa 1815, supposedly in Tennessee. I find him in the 1850 Gibson County, TN census. By my gg grandmother, Mary PATE, he had three children, Benjamin C. Cannon, William Henry Cannon and Hepsey Ann Cannon, my g grandmother. James died sometime between 1855 and 1860 in either Arkansas or MIssouri, possibly Stoddard County, Missouri. He also may have been previously married to Mary Taylor of Gibson County, resulting in two daughters, Amanda CANNON and Clementine CANNON. His last marriage was to Nancy KING of Obion County, Tennessee. I believe that they had two children, John N. Cannon and Cordelia Cannon.

My objective for years has been to identify the parents of James L. CANNON. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Banks and Burns

I am seeking information on William Wyatt Banks, born Sept 10, 1837 and his wife Mary L. Burns, born October 8, 1844. He is the son of George F Banks and Mariah W. Simms. I have been unable to find anything about Mary L. Burns. Their children were Joseph Amos, Martha Ida, Bessie, William G, George E, Georgia E and Effie.

In 1860 William was in Gibson County, Tennessee; in Haywood County, Tennessee in 1870 and Cherokee County Texas in 1880. William and Mary were married 1863 in Searcy, White County, Arkansas. I have a lot of information on the Bank’s but am trying to locate information on the Burns. Thanks for any help.

Old Photo

Attached is an old postcard that was sent to Josie Armes in Nov 1909 postmarked Gibson Tenn. There is a photo on the postcard of four men one baby and one little girl. Names mentioned are Fred, D W, and Jessie; the card is signed Virgie. In the 1910 census, I find a Jessie Dungan and Fred Neely with son W D. The people are standing in front of a store. I think that I can read Groceries on the window. Can anyone help me identify the store or the people.

Re: Bells Chapel Cumberland Presbyterian Chruch

My great grandmother went there- Mildred Warren Johnson and I think my grandmother Nancy Johnson did too. I can ask her if she remembers any stories from there. I just know that William Clint Warren met his wife Willie Inez McDonald there. My great grandmother said that Willie McDonald was considered the prettiest girl at Bell's Chapel. I heard that my entire life every time we looked at Willie Inez McDonald's picture. (I have a copy) My grandmother would joke, "wasn't she the only girl at Bell's Chapel?" I will ask my grandmother more stories for I am sure she knows a lot. I might have been to the church myself but don't remember.

John Ford that married Love Northcutt is from the Fords of Manakin VA. His father John Ford was from Buckingham co VA, he went to Burke Co NC and dies in Rutherford Co TN. I think the Maryland Fords were from Ashe Co NC. There were also Maryland Fords early into Davidson Co TN.

My great-great grandfather,George Washington Williamson,son of Ludie Williamson, was born in 1804 in Amherst, Virginia. My family thought that Ludie was the son of Beverly Williamson, but I think Ludie must have been the father of Beverly. I have a copy of Beverly Williamson's will, dated 1806; Ludie was a witness. Beverly Williamson of the will must be Beverly Adam(s)Williamson, son of Ludie and brother of George. they all left Amherst, went to a place near Murfreesboro, TN, and then settled Gibson Co. My great-great grandfather, George married Edna DeJarnatte, and the couple later moved to Mississippi, where George was a successful planter. Beverly Adam Williamson stayed in Gibson Co. and married a Yandell. Edna and George had several childre, one of whom was my great-grandmother, Janie. Janie married Edward Jones Boushe. One of their sons was George Williamson Boushe, my grandfather. The Beverly name came down to my uncle, Beverly Boushe and later to me.

William Williams, Dempse B Williams

rmoore99 — 2009-04-20 19:41:12Z

I am trying to link my William Clayburn Williams (b. 1861, Bradford, Gibson Co, TN, married Dora Elizabeth Woodson) with the family of Dempse Williams (b. 1855, married Della Jamison). Those two would have possibly been brothers. Dempse's parents were John and Martha.

If you have any information that can link these two boys, I would greatly appreciate it! Since William Williams is such a common name in Western TN at that time, I'm having trouble placing him in the right place. I know his parents are John and Martha because of his death certificate, and I found a William C Williams listed as a child of a John and Martha (1880 Dist. 22, Gibson Co.) but I'm looking for one more piece of the puzzle to confirm my find. Thanks!

Come on Gibson County!! Lets solve a lot of all our BrickWalls.

Flowers Chronicles

http://www.flowerschronicles.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuil...

Second Volume
in the Works!

Flowers Chronicles was originally published in 1987, by our dad, P.B. (Bill) Flowers. In 2000, we did a few updates and published a second printing of the original work. It was done because there were so many requests for the book and the original publication had sold out.

In the past few years we've had requests for an updated version of Flowers Chronicles. As those of you who have the original book know, it is nearly 900 pages long. Attempting to add to that book would not be realistic, but more importantly, there are over 1,000 copies in circulation today that would be obsolete if the book were re-written.

So, we've decided to publish a second volume of Flowers Chronicles. Since the original publication date in 1987, 22 years and an entire generation have passed. Many Flowers family members have passed away and many have been born in that time, so we will use Volume 2 to bring the family history up to date. Flowers Chronicles - Volume 2 will pick up where the original left off.

We intend to maintain the style and quality that were so important to Dad in publishing this book, to ensure that Volume 2 will fit perfectly along side of the original and will include updates for the original families.

This is where you all come in. We need information from you about your family members since 1987, so I'm asking everyone to send updates on their family- births, deaths, marriages, burial locations, etc. You are also encouraged to include photos and stories or other documents and information you believe are pertinent.

Part of what makes Flowers Chronicles so fabulous is the photographs, maps and stories. Names, dates and locations are important, but the inspiring and memorable part is the stories. So please include those! If you would like help writing the stories, we can do that.

You can send your info, stories and photos via email, or if you prefer US Mail, you'll find the address below. If you plan to send anything that you need copied and returned to you, please note that and we will get your originals back to you.

We also need your help in locating family members. Dad kept good records of everyone who purchased books or showed an interest, but a lot of time has passed and we're not sure of the validity of the email and postal addresses we have. There are over 500 names for whom I don't have email addresses, since email wasn't in use when most of those folks ordered books.

If you could pass this email on to other family members, and/or send their addresses to us, it would be greatly appreciated.

Even if you can't send your family updates right away, please send us an email to let us know you've received this and are interested in updating your family history for Volume 2. Click here to send email. The goal is to get as much info as soon as possible to help in planning the layout of the new book.

If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, please contact us. We're very excited about this project and look forward to hearing from you and getting your updates. If you don't already have Flowers Chronicles, or need additional copies, there are 64 copies remaining. You can send your order to the address below, or purchase your copy online at www.FlowersChronicles.com.

I have Mathis as a collateral line. Roy McKinley Mathis (9 Dec 1900 - 22 Feb 1978) married my grandfather's sister, Willie Mahoney Jackson on 21 August 1920 in Gibson County. They owned a store in Trenton. Roy's father was James Robert Mathis (20 Sep 1872-10 Aug 1945) who married Fannie Belle "Billie" Arnold on 8 Dec 1899 in Tatumville. Any connection to your Mathis family?

Does anyone have a picture of Antioch Baptist Church near the Madison County line BEFORE it burned in 1939? Or a newspaper article about it burning? My grandparents were married the day after it burned and were the ones who actually told the pastor that it burned.

Good Evening Mr. Green,

Back in May 2007 you sent me a message concerning Robert Wylie Vaden and Mary Ann Motley. In it you said that you suspected that Mary Ann was the daughter of James Motley or Edwin Motley (brothers of your g-g-grandfather). I have received a copy of Mary Ann death certificate. On it Mary Ann father is listed as James Motley. Her mother's maiden name was Thorne. I know it has been a while, but is this the James you were referring to?

Re: Robert Wylie Vaden and Mary Ann Motley

crvines — 2009-01-02 06:25:57Z

Re: Motley, Vaden

crvines — 2008-12-30 05:30:58Z

Mary Ann Motley and Robert Wylie Vaden are my wife's g-g-grandparents. Robert is the son of Delaney Dodson (D D) Vaden and Mickey Austin Blankenship (both born in the Chesterfield Co, VA area). As far as I can tell, D D and Mickey are in Dyer county by 1834 when their daughter, Mary Jane, was born. They are in Va at least until 1826, when Elizabeth Ann was born. They may have been there in 1828 when Dorothy was born, but some census listings also list her as being born in Ga. By 1840, D D and Micha had moved to Gibson County where they lived until their deaths.

Robert was born in Gibson County in 1848. By 1880 he is in Crockett Co, TN. He moved to Fannin Co., Tx around 1887 following two of his sisters to Texas (Elizabeth Ann (or Ann Elizabeth) Vaden Blankenship and Hannah Vaden Hailey).

Sometime after the 1900 census all of Robert's family, except Claude (wife's g-grandfather) moves to the Stamford area of Jones County, Tx where both Robert and Mary Ann die.

Mary Ann is Roberts second wife. He married Eugenia Gaines on Dec 1 1868. She died in 1871 after giving birth to their second child. Their first child died shortly after she was born. Lulu (first child) is buried in Crockett co. TN and Eugene (second child) is buried in Jones co. Tx.

Mary Ann Motley and Robert Vaden were married on Oct 24, 1875. Their children are James Clay, Zadie, Claude Hartwell, Edna Earle, William Thomas (Dick), and Annie.

I would dearly love to find some information on Mary Ann's family. I have seen some data that may be her's, but nothing concrete.

Pardon my rambling, but I thought this info might help.

Hi Cheryl,

I'm sorry, but I do not have any information to help you.

I was wandering if you knew if Mary (Polly) Davis remarried after Benjamin Davis passed? I have a Polly Davis who married Delaney Dodson (D D) Vaden on March 11, 1854 in Gibson County, TN.

My Polly was D D's second wife. D D and his first wife (Mickey Austin Blankenship) are my wife's g-g-g-grandparents.

I would be interested in any information you may have.

Banks and/or Burns Family

Jlynn50 — 2008-12-23 19:12:29Z

I am seeking information on William Banks and Mary Burns. William Banks was on the Gibson County 1860 Census, 23, with his father G.F. Banks. In 1870, he and his wife Mary (Burns) were in Haywood County. In 1880 they had moved to Cherokee County Texas. William and Mary were married about 1864 in Arkansas. in 1860 there was a S B Burns in Haywood with a daughter named Mary. Does anyone have any information on these families?

I don't know if this branch is located at your church but I am hoping that you might have more Eakes info.
I'm trying to find "Shiney" or Sine Eakes b. 1871 TN. She m. Mr. Hardiman abt 1897 or earlier- I think in Limestone Co. AL.could have been in Giles Co., TN. Their daughter was Lillie Mae and she was b. 1897 in TN. Mr. Hardiman d. bef. 1903. Sine then married Martin Solberg in 1902. 1910 Fed Cen. shows Sine in Hazel Green, AL (sheet 9B line 63). Listed as Sine Solberg and mother of :Lillie Hardiman,and Stella, Oscar, Albert,Rolly Solberg.

EAKES/ Hardiman line eventually marries up with the WHITT family in Ardmore, Limestone, AL. That combined family marries into the HUTTO family.
Also- family story (legend) says there is native american (poss. Seminole) on this side. Do you know anything about this?
Here's what I'm working with (I'm so confused lol)

Sine EAKES b. 1871 TN marries Mr. ? Hardiman and has Lillie Mae- 1897 in TN. (Granddaughter recalls her gmother being called "Shinie.)
Lillie Mae (EAKES) HARDIMAN marries Willie Edd WHITT bef. 1923. They have 8 children, all born AL.
Marlene Faye "Faye" b. abt. 1923 m. Mr. Pendergrass
Marvin "Brother" b. abt. 1925
Marlas (Male) b. abt. 1927
Willie Edd (Junior" ) b, abt. 1929
Virginia b. 1931 m. Mr. Jennings
Annie Bell "Bell"b. abt. 1933 m. Mr. Travis
Bertha Jean b. 1939 d. 1957 m. Mr. Hutto
Frances b. abt. 1941 m. Mr. Campbell
Dates of birth of these children are the recollection of Virginia b. 1931
I'd appreciate any info you may have on this family. It's a puzzle.

JACKSON is a very common name in Tennessee! My possible connection is William Anderson JACKSON, born 22 Oct. 1867 in Hardeman Co, TN, married Sara Jane SHANKLE 1902 in Gibson Co., TN, and died 17 March 1953. He was the son of Jimmie A.

Hi and Merry Christmas!
Where can I find the list that shows who these early families were, that migrated to Gibson Co TN in the early 1800's, from NC and VA??? I have seen you mentioning "families that migrated to" and others say this, and I would sure love to be able to read about that and see the names of these families??
I have possible Jackson's, [ a Mary that wed a man named William DAVIS], Lowrance; Purett that married a Cansada [ also mis-spelled on census records as Tensada, Canzadia etc.], and I have FOREN / FORIN / FOREHAND /FORAN [ also constantly mis-spelled! I think that FOREHAN / FORAN sounds alot like Parham/n and Barham/n. I have VAUGHN/AN, and VADEN that if memory serves me, married Vaughan's; and DAVIS, that married Vaughn and Foran. So far my research has led me to believe that my FOREN / FORAN / FORIN ETC., came from Rockingham Co., to Gibson Co TN also, with the first find being a marriage in 1834 in Gibson Co.!

Thanks

Re: William Jasper Hunt---Gibson County, TN

eellse — 2008-12-05 07:05:47Z

Angel,

I have one more idea for you. Is it possible your William Jasper Hunt was namaed after William Jasper the Revolutionary War Hero?

I found this information on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jasper):

William Jasper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Monument to Jasper at Savannah, Georgia
William Jasper (c. 1750 – October 9, 1779) was a noted American soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was a sergeant in the 2nd South Carolina Regiment.

Jasper first distinguished himself in the defense of Fort Moultrie on June 28, 1776. When a shell from a British warship shot away the flagstaff, he recovered the South Carolina flag, raised it on a temporary staff, and held it under fire until a new staff was installed . Governor Rutledge gave a golden sword to Jasper in recognition of his bravery.

In 1779, Sergeant Jasper participated in the Siege of Savannah, led by General Lincoln, which failed to recapture Savannah, Georgia, from the British. He was mortally wounded during an assault on the British forces there.

Sgt. Jasper's story is similar to that of Sgt. John Newton. Several states have adjacent counties named Jasper and Newton, as though these were remembered as a pair, due to the popularity of Parson Weems' fictionalizing early American history.[1]

[edit] Places named after Jasper
Jasper County, Georgia
Jasper County, Illinois
Jasper County, Indiana
Jasper County, Iowa
Jasper County, Mississippi
Jasper County, Missouri
Jasper County, South Carolina
Jasper County, Texas and the city of Jasper, Texas
City of Jasper, Alabama
City of Jasper, Arkansas
City of Jasper, Florida
Town of Jasper, Tennessee

My William Jasper's father was from North Carolina. Perhaps, one of our ancestors served with William Jasper?

Re: William Jasper Hunt---Gibson County, TN

I am intrigued by your question because my great great grandfather is William Jasper Brown, b. 1850 McNairy, Tennessee and great grandfather is William Jasper Brown b. 1888 in Obion, Tennessee. I wonder if your Hunt family was a close relative, friend or neighbor of my Brown family. I have not yet found any obvious connections, but I did locate these records:

In the 1930 US Federal Census for District 16, Gibson, Tennessee, I found:

Luttie Hunt, b. 1908, Tennessee
Minnie L. Hunt, b. abt 1923, Tennessee
Effie C. Hunt, b. abt 1927, Tennessee

In addition, I found Luttie's parents living next door to them:

Allie Freeze, abt 1875
Emaie Freeze, abt 1875

In the 1930 US Federal Census for District 16, Forrest, Mississippi, I found:

Robert Hunt, b. abt 1868, Tennessee
Edna B. Hunt, b. 1873 abt, Tennessee
Andrew D. Hunt, b. abt 1897, Tennessee

In the 1920 US Federal Census for District 5, Gibson, Tennessee, I found:

Robert L. Hunt, b. abt 1868, Tennessee
Married abt 1893
Edner B. Hunt, b. 1871 abt, Tennessee
[Andrew] Donaldson Hunt, b. abt 1897, Tennessee

The Pruett sons were offspring of Harris Bradford Pruett and Bettie Motley. One married the Thetford the other son James Pruett married S.E. Jackson in 1878.
Harris B Pruett was born in TN in 1821 d. 8/15/1853. I suspect of measles..tho not sure. He was known as "Harris".
Feel free to email me off line at jameslgreen@bellsouth.net if I can be of other assistance. I have seen the Foren name.. I will look up some old estate papers and see if I can find the circumstances.

I look back thru some data and I think that you Mary Ann was the daughter of Geo W. Motley(son of John Sr.) You can find her in the 1880 census with a brother James among other siblings. I think this is her family. If not then I do not think she was a daughter of James Motley (d. 1854).
There was never any mention of children or offspring of James Motley either in estate papers or in my extremely long
family "oral history".
I thought that mary Ann married on Christmas day late in the 19th century?
I will be anxious to see any new or other information you have regarding her or any Motley's.
The group of folks living in that area were Baileys,Betts, etc;... all inter married with the Motley family.

Hello Charles
Yes that was my speculation;however I do not remember seeing
any mention of children in his my family papers. Does the death certf. state where Mary Ann was born and the date?
I now feel that she was the daughter of one of the sons of John Motley d. 1844 who was my g g g grandfather. I will look back into my papers and records and lets see if we can get this solved.
Happy New Year and best wishes

Your email bounced back and did not get to you? At any rate the James Motley family in 1860 was living in the 10th Dist.
of Lauderdale county TN. These folks match up with your Mary A. Motley. James was b. 1798 and his wife was a year or so later- Mary was 13; along with brothers . I woud check that family tree.

Re: Robert Wylie Vaden and Mary Ann Motley

jameslgreen1 — 2009-01-03 17:44:33Z

I sent you am private email..Hope it will answer the question. My feeling is that the Motley family in Lauderdale county TN may well be your Mary Ann's. That county in only 2 away from Gibson and next door to Crockett county. The lines were changed several times and each county shifted a bit. Since this Motley family lived in close proximity I hope this will be a lead. I know that you have been on the trail for a few years. I remember Mrs. Berniece Rawls of Wichita Falls writing me in the 1970's seeking info about Mary Ann Motley Vaden. I think she was her grandaughter?

Re: JACKSON

jameslgreen1 — 2008-12-25 05:30:36Z

Hi
I know there was a family of Jacksons that go back to the early 1800's. They came from Rockingham county NC along with other families (Lawrence,Pruett,Motley, and others in the 1800's to Gibson county. This particular family of Jacksons settled in and near the Gibson Wells area. The patriarch of that family was A.A. Jackson as I recall. He was known as "Double A". The Jackson family inter married with the Lawrence and the Motley familes. One Aaron Jackson married one of my ancestors Elizabeth"Bettie" Motley. Oddly he moved to Shelby county and was living there in 1860's.
A Mr. Elbert Jackson and his brother lived on the old Jacklson land and he and his wife had 2 sons Murray Jackson and Paul Elbert Jackson(still living and in Trenton but in poor health.) Hope this helps in your Jackson search.

J Green

jameslgreen1 — 2008-12-27 01:35:03Z

So many of those old families lived near each other in NC.They lived in Rockingham and Haywood county for the most part. When they began to "migrate" to Gibson county the men would often come first to survey the landscape then send back for the family. The William Pruett (Pruitt) you mention was married to Elizabeth Motley(my gg aunt) aka "Bettie" Motley. The son William married Cansadia Thetford. After the senior Pruett's death the family moved back to live with William Motley(my g g grandfather).
The Pruetts later moved to Clinton KY. and remained there with most being buried in a country church named "Rose Hill". If memory serves me.
There was a Nancy Motley who married DD Vaden. She was one of the off spring John Motley d. 1844. They moved to Texas at the end of the 1800's.
As far as a list most of these stories are handed down from all the elders of these "old" families.

I think that is correct. There is a book co-authored by Julian Pruett and his sister Frances Limozaine that deals with the Pruett familt and their connections in depth.
I know that the Pruett-Motley family removed to Clinton Ky. and were there in 1887. I have a letter from my gr grandmother who was visiting them during Thanksgiving of thatyear. She was visiting her cousin "Molly" (Mary).
My last known address for Frances Limozaine was St Simons.
best of luck,
James

Re: Who is J. M. FORD father of Andrew "Murray" FORD b: 1883 TN.

JaneFord_Taylor — 2009-01-19 13:40:25Z

Can JM Ford be a son of Tipton Ford (son of John T. Ford) who married Eleanor Howell and forgot to divorce her before he married Mary Ann Murray??? This JTF is my direct line and Tipton Ford is a brother to my gr gr grandfather, Benjamin Jackson Ford. These families were from Western NC and Eastern TN. DNA test results for my brother, put us in group 5 on familytreedna.com. This group traces back to the Fords from Maryland. My cousin, Lil Ford-Donnally may be able to help you with the children of Tipton and Mary Ann.

For what it is worth, there is a bit of history of the McMurray family line in the Decatur county TN area. In fact there is a McMurray Family cemetery (which I have been to) in a location off McMurray Rd in same county. Alot of the headstones are pretty old and hard to read, but it might be a place to start. Several Decatur families migrated on in to Gibson county.
Happy hunting...

Re: FRAZIER FAMILY

tnmyhome2 — 2009-01-31 05:32:49Z

There was a couple, last name Frazier, that lived across the stree from my grandparents in Humboldt back in the 1960's and later on East End Drive, right down by the curve.
Seems to me that had a son name Billy??

If any of this sounds familiar I would love to hear from you.
My grandparents were the Duke couple who lived across the street.
My best memory of Mrs. Frazier is that she made the best cookies ever!! When I would go across the street to visit her as a small child, she always had fresh cookies. What a great childhood memory! She was a kind lady.

I have Rebecca Jerrell in my ancestry b. 1835 d. 1893 married to Alexis Alexander Black. Their daugher Mary Jane-Mollie Black was married to my gggrandfather John T Thornton in Dyer, TN. I have not been able to verify Rebecca's ancestry. I know there are many in the Humboldt area and I have speculated these are her family but I have nothing to prove that. Do you have anything on this name? I have been to the Rose Hill Cemetery in Humboldt and seen the graves. Wish I knew if they were my Jerrell/Jarrells. If you have any info you would share, it would be appreciated.

Re: Robert Wylie Vaden and Mary Ann Motley

BROWNEYES164 — 2009-01-03 06:24:56Z

James,

Here is the information listed on Mary Ann (Motley) Vaden's death certificate.

Place of Death - Stamford, Jones County, Texas
Full Name - Mrs. Mary Vaden
Female, white, widowed (Robert died in 1912)
Date of Birth - December 23, 1850, Tennessee
Date of Death - January 31, 1920
Cause of Death - Flu & Pnumonia(?)
Occupation - Housewife
Father - James Motley, born Alabama
Mother's maiden name - Thorne, born North Carolina
Informant - J C Vaden, Stamford, Texas (this would be James Clay Vaden (Mary and Robert's oldest).

There were some other Vaden's in this area of Jones Co. They are descendants of Amos Garrett Vaden. He appears in Hunt County, Texas around the time that D D's children (Hannah, Elizabeth, and Robert appear in Fannin and Lamar Co. Texas. I believe Amos and D D may be related, but I am sure at this time. He (or his children) moves to Stamford, Jones Co., Texas about the same time that Robert and Mary Ann arrive. Anyway, I am not aware of any other Mary Motleys marrying Vadens that settle in Jones county. In cemetery listings Mary is listed, with the same dates, as the wife of R W Vaden. One cousin go a pic of there tombstone years ago and put it in a family history she put together. By the time I received the copy I have, the photo was not very clear.

Well, now I ramble. I hope this helps. I would be interested in any information you have on the Motley family, as well as your thoughts. My e-mail address is charlies.genealogy@gmail.com

Re: FORESTER & BAKER in Gibson Co., TN

Randall, I am also interested in the Bakers from Gibson Co, Tn. My gg grand daddy was James Baker, don't know when he was born but story goes that he died in a logging accident in 1843. I was trying to connect him into this bunch of Bakers in Gibson Co in the 17th district. in the 1830 census a Bartholomew, Robert, Samuel, and Thomas Baker were listed. In 1840 James was listed along with them, with a young male child, which would have been my g grand daddy's brother, Thomas, born in 1839. My g grand daddy was born in 1841, William Pleasant Baker. James married Sally or Sarah Pauline Mitts, or Polly, all names have been listed, in 1830: after James died she married Timothy Dolen in 1846. The Baker boys were listed as Dolens in the 1850 census. The only Baker I found in 1850 was Thomas, born in S.C., and married Levina Smith in 1829. I would like to know more about my gg grand daddy, James. I need help...Jane

James Baker

jjpope_1 — 2009-01-10 19:25:11Z

I am looking for info on my gggrandfather, JAMES BAKER. I do not know when or where he was born. Family stories say he died in Gibson Co. Tn. in a logging accident in 1843. marriage records show that he got a license Jan. 10, 1830 and were married by a JP on Jan. 14, 1830.My gggrand-mother was SARAH PAULINE MITTS, "POLLY" on the marriage certificate. She was born Jan. 1819 in N.C. and died in Gibson Co. 1913. After my gggrand- father died she married TIMOTHY DOLEN in 1846, in Gibson Co. JAMES AND SARAH had 2 sons; THOMAS BAKER in 1839 and my ggrand daddy, WILLIAM PLEASANT BAKER born 9-22-1841; died 1--1933. Gibson Co census reports in 1830 gives 4 BAKERS, BARTHOLOMEW AND FAMILY, ROBERT, NO FAMILY, SAMUEL, AND FAMILY AND THOMAS N. AND WIFE. Marriage records show that THOMAS married LEVINA SMITH in 1829. It show that SAMUEL married ANNE FORRESTER in 1828. The 1840 census shows ROBERT with another male and an older female, it shows THOMAS with 2 young males and an older male, also 1 young female and an older one probably his wife, the census shows, BARTHOLOMEW with family, it shows SAMUEL with young male and females and probably his wife. Then it shows JAMES BAKER with 1 young male which would be our THOMAS, himself about 20-30 years old and 2 young females, 3 a little older and 2 females in the 20-30 range. The 1850 census shows only THOMAS BAKER in the 17th district and says he was born in S.C. Also in the 1850 census it shows that TIMOTHY DOLEN AND SARAH were togetherand it list the 2 BAKER boys, THOMAS AND WILLIAM PLEASANT as DOLENS, their age being 11 and 10. From there I am against a brick wall, if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks JPope

My great grandparents' death certificates states they are buried at these cemeteries but my searches have turned up nothing. Varney Jines was buried at Dunagan and Cynthia Jines was buried at Climer. If anyone has any information on either of these cemeteries please contact me.

Hi,

This may be the John W Bowen the "Artimissa" searchers are looking for; I don't know. And you're certainly right about age discrepancies from one census to another. As well as using a first name on one census, a second name, or nickname on another.

The John W Bowen, who was my Thomas George Bowen's brother was in Gibson County, Tennessee in 1870. His wife, Sarah Barkley Bowen, died in Gibson County in 1880, according to Gibson County death records.

I did find info on John Bowen and the Ledbetters there in Arkansas when researching that county. That Bowen line settled in Arkansas earlier in the 1800s according to what I read.

Thanks for the input.

Re: John W Bowen, Gibson Co, Tennessee 1870

ALLETS — 2008-07-29 21:11:22Z

The John Bowen [born 1820s TN] in 1870 Gibson County, Tennessee, with wife [Sarah Barkley] and several children, was the son of Thomas Bowen & Rebecca Walkup. This John Bowen and family were in Coffee County, TN 1860 and in Cannon County, TN 1850.

Hi,

While looking through the archives for this list, I found the following information that might help you:

"the Dickinson family burial place isn't a cemetery of its own, but is, rather two contiguous lots of Oakwood Cemetery in Milan with some sort of large monument in the middle giving the dates and relationships of everyone in
the family buried there."

djoverall — 2008-07-16 23:12:56Z

Hello, my name is Debi Overall. I am the daughter of Lloyd Russell Overall and granddaughter of Roy D Overall. I believe that my dad was born around Trenton TN in July of 1927. His mother died at the time of his birth, and I have been trying to locate her place of death and her grave.

I believe her name was Lillian, and her maiden name was Banks.

I know that my dad had relatives in TN, around Dyersburg and possibly Trenton. If you know anything of my ancestors, I'd appreciate your sharing the information.

Allen A Betts of Gibson, TN

KMcFarlane8046 — 2008-08-31 09:54:23Z

I agree, you may want to look in Crockett County. Allen A Betts is my ancestor, through his daughter Martha Jane (1848). I'll send you an Ahnentafal file for Allen and his wife Sarah Ann Parker.

I have nothing about their daughter Sarah A, however, except that she married Isham Bailey - which is not very well sourced. I'd love to see what you have on them. Happy to share what I know of the rest of AABetts descendants, too.

Artemissia Bowen

KMcFarlane8046 — 2008-08-31 09:42:32Z

I may have found a link between the Ledbetters and the Bowens.

In the 1870 Census, Arkansas, Madison County, Bowen Township, Huntsville P.O., 11 August 1870 there are two families of Ledbetters living adjacent to a John W. Bowen:
B.J. Ledbetter, 48, born in Tenn
Ellen 36 KY
Minerva 16 ARK
Martha 11 ARK
Artimissa 8 ARK
William M. 6 ARK
Charity A. 4 MO
Beverly W. 1 ARK

then
Harvey A. Ledbetter, 52 Tenn
Mary A.42 Tenn
Mary J.15 (could be 8) Ark
James A.11 (could be 14) Ark
John H.9 Ark
Almira 8 Ark
Armilda 4 Ark
Martha 2 Ark

and then John W. Bowen 43
Tennessee 30 Ark
Mary 11 Ark
Joseph 9 Ark
John 4 Ark
Belzona 2 Ark
Thomas 7mo Ark

These folks seem to fit pretty well. I realize that Artemissa's dates are wrong, but I've seen many many dates of children be off a few years, especially if there are multiple children. Think how many parents in large families have difficulty keeping up with their children's birthdates!

Re: Blackshear-Lack

waynelle1 — 2008-03-05 17:49:46Z

I think I might be descended from Elizabeth Blair and James Blackshear's oldest daughter Nancy J. b: 12/25/1853 Tennessee, d: 8/31/1934 Ash hill, Butler County, Missouri. I've been working on Nancy's line to see if I can find links to mine. I've got a hunch that Nancy's daughter is Mary Etta Dickey (who is my great grandmother). I have a lot of circumstantial evidence as to such, but no absolute proof. Mary Etta was born in 1882 so she isn't in the 1880 census and she was married in 1898 so she isn't with her mother in the 1900 census. Nancy's son, John Henry Dickey (who is in the 1880 census), John's son (Otho), and other relatives seem to "follow" Mary Etta around: Tennessee to Clay County, Arkansas to Butler County, Missouri to Orange County, California and are usually on the same or adjacent census page. The final cincher was that in the 1930 census in Santa Ana, Orange, CA, Otho Dickey is 5 houses down from Mary Etta Chadwick nee Dickey. Also, on the same census page are Mary Etta's daughter, Bessie Chadwick England Barbee and family. Eugene Barbee (Bessie's brother-in-law) is next door to Otho Dickey, as well.

Does anyone know anything about Nancy J. Blackshire/Blackshar/Blackshear and has anyone come across any evidence that she had a daughter named Mary Etta Dickey? Even if Mary Etta isn't her daughter, I now have quite a few census records on Nancy her children if anyone would like them as she is definitely related to this line.

As best as I can figure Nancy J. was married three times to: 1) J.H. Reeves on Nov 6 or 9, 1871, Obion County, Tennessee
2) A. Jackson Dickey around 1879 and probably in
Obion County, Tennessee
3) James B. Crowder around 1886 probably also in Obion County, Tennessee.

Nancy's 6 of 10 children that survived are:
1) Samuel B. Reeves b. abt 1874 TN
2) John Henry Dickey b. 9/17/1879 TN; d. 4/26/1952 Poplar Bluff, Butler Co., MO
3) (I believe) Mary Etta Dickey Chadwick b. June 1882 TN; d. unknown
4) Ola S. Crowder Hosea Bird/Byrd Brown b. Dec 1888 TN
5) Bertha J. Crowder b. Dec 1890 TN
6) Andy/Andie/Anda B. Crowder b. May 1893 TN

I'm also interested in knowing more about Elizabeth Blair and James Blackshear and their families.

Hi Again Betty,
which one of this line are you descended from??
I looked through my files, I too have Francis Foren in ILL. in 1900 with martha E. 13 yrs old, appeard to be his daughter and he seems to be a widower.
I can not find him in 1870 though? Can you tell me where he was then? Nor can I find his marriage to Martha C.E.L. (?), ISN'T SHE A VAUGHAN?? Seems like I have seen her on a VAUGHAN census, but I may have her confused with someone else?? Can you tell me her maiden name and parents names?? They are of my line also. I wonder if Martha died after she gave birth to her daughter Martha born abt 1886 in TN. This is confusing to me...the 1920 daughter Lizzie S. Deadman b abt 1886, I assume is Martha E., maybe E. was for Elizabeth, but What would the S. stand for??? Martha E. S. (Foren) Deadman?? Is that the way you see it? Hope to hear back from you.

I have been out of town for a while, just going through emails, and saw this. I have this family as well. I have traced several men of the vacinity with this surname. So I have accumulated much though not all ended up related to "my own line". I would like to share and compare notes with you, if you would be interested. I am not real clear about some of the names mentioned, as no dates were posted, and so many of these names were used repeatedly. I do however have several [ I think they are the same as yours].

Re: William Foren born.1815 Va.on Gibson co., Tn. 1850 census

cherylhorne60 — 2008-03-18 04:57:37Z

Hi Betty,
Thank you so much for your reply, and all the family information. Yes, we are indeed tracing the same FOREN FORAN line! I think this William b: abt 1815 VA. is the brother of my ggg grandfather, Alexander Foren b: abt 1811 VA. tho' some census records say NC. I have been trying to piece together all these Foren's, and determine who Alex's siblings are, and hope to eventually locate and name who his parents were? HAVE YOU COME ACROSS AN ALEC / ALEXANDER FOREN / FORAN / FORIN / FORRIN in your hunt for your own line??? He married Sarrah A. Stiller in July 1834 in Gibson Co., TN. The bondsman was William BUTLER.
The DAVID FOREN, you mentioned...where was he living? Do you have any abt. birth date on him, or a spouse? There is a King David Foren in Gibson Co., TN. that was married more than once, and a couple other David's out there. I have two George W. Foren's in my file also. What yr. was your George W. born abt., I will pull mine and see if I have your George?
Do you have any STELLERS / STILLERS or WATSON's married into your line? Also any DAVIS's. All these surnames married into my Foren line in the Gibson Co., TN area.
Any clue as to where you William Foren came from in VA., or who his father was?? I have a couple possibles, but nothing nailed down as yet. This has been a hard line to track and find anything on!
You may contact me direct, tohocheho@bellsouth.net
if you wish to, or we can con't on the board. I am so very interested in learning more about your family, and any "family lore" you may have heard...it might help with my own "family lore", and maybe we can put this together....I have nearly given up so many times on them!

Bless You Too,

Re: Families Jackson/Magee/Aslin/Barham

There was a very old Gibson county family of Jacksons that came from Haywood county NC in the early 1800's. They settled in the Gibson Wells and Edison communites a few miles out in the country from Trenton ,TN. There was a A.A. Jackson and several others. They married into the Motley,and Lawrence families. These were other NC families that they all came down to Gibson county with in the early migration.

There were several brothers and I do not know their names.
I know one was the ancestor of Elbert Jackson who was born in the late 1800's prior to 1900. It could well be that your ancestor was a brother to these folks and moved on to MO.I know that there were some Baileys who did the same and they too were with that same original migration of families.
Hope this helps a bit.
You might look for these names Robertson,Pruett,Bledsoe,Meritt. They were also among those early families that migrated from NC.

Re: Betts of Gibson, TN

Re: William Foren born.1815 Va.on Gibson co., Tn. 1850 census

bcdj1 — 2008-03-18 04:06:38Z

Let me start with Francis Foran (spelling on 1880 census)
He is in Cairo, Alexander, Illinois at age 17 working
and living with a John Bankston family. He states he was born in Illinois and parents from Ire & Ire. (could never
place him with parents, just my luck.. anyway, I have copy
of County Marriage Record where Francis S. Foren married
Martha C. Foren on 16 Aug, 1884, Gibson co., Tn. The next I
have the 1900 census where Francis and Martha E. are in
Ill.and he is Wd. (family history tells me Martha E. had
a brother named George) that I believe is the George W.
that is living with David Foren that I mentioned earlier.
On the 1920 census that is Martha E (Lizzie S. and don't know why it is an "S" unless mistake. She has my Uncle Sam
and Aunt Gertrude with her living with her dad Francis S.
She later had my dad then divorced Samuel (Sam) Dedman)
I have papers of the divorce. Back to the William Forens
on 1850 census Gibson, Tn. they have Vaughans living with them and also Shad is still with him on 1880 and listed
as other but C. ( Charlotte) is NIECE. I went looking for
George ( my grandmothers brother) and I think that
Martha C.E.L. Foren died after his birth, not Martha E.'s.
I show George W. Foren signed the "Draft" in 1912 in
Texas and listed born in Trenton, Tn. and age matches
also. on 1920 George W. is married to a Minnie and still
in Tx., Wood County. I hope I have answered your questions
and not messed things up. Oh, on 1920 census, Francis S.
Foren states parents came from Tn. & Ohio..

Hi Bill,

So glad to hear from you. I see you changed your moniker too.

2nd cousins once removed. Somewhere I have a cheat sheet that explains how the relations work. I really need to dig that out and study it. Thanks.

Mack Millan Bell is my maternal grandfather. He married my grandma, who is still living. But they divorced. I haven't found the divorce papers yet. I know Mack remarried and had 5 more children. My mom had stayed with her mother and new husband, who is also now deceased. I don't personally know any one from that side since they didn't stay in touch with my mom.

My great grandfather Homer Webster MATHIS was interred by Holmes Bros. of Trenton, TN in November 1934. Does anybody know how to contact them? Or if they went out of business, which I assume they have, where there files went?

keeperofthefamily — 2008-10-02 16:52:55Z

Still trying to find any information on the Hicks family]
Found them in 1830 with who I think is the Father of John A. who was the Father of Michael (my line) and Jobe
The wife of John A.- Euncice -can't find maiden name was in the census until the 1860 then she must have died-anyone know where she is buried??? John A.-buried?? Think the Father John I found in the 1830 census is dead-in 1840-can't find

Anything that anyone can help me with is greatly appreciated

Thanks

I am interested in finding out if the author of the book is my relative. My ggggreatgrandfather was Frederick Culp, Jr
he was married to Julian Henderlieter and their daughter Margaret Louise Culp, married Andrew Jackson Lanningham in Smyth county, Va and later came to Lee County, Va where they died. I am unable to find any data on them. So please if anyone can help me send an email to bdshirks@core.com

Re: Gibson county Tennessee History

bdshirks1 — 2008-02-24 03:38:39Z

Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I am not sure that Frederick Jr, and Julian Henderlieter Culp were from Va, but i do know that Margaret, their daughter married Andrew Jackson Lanningham in Smyth County, VA, then they came to Lee County, VA. It is possible her parents lived in TN. If you should find any data that they were part of the Culps from TN, Please let me know.
Thanks again,

I have an similar ancestor
Sarah Jane Smith married Thomas C. Bruff
She was known in the area as a healer rode a grey mare and carried a deer skin bag of medicinal herbs. Is it just a folk lore of the area or could there have been two Sarah Janes? Could she have re-married or been married to two men?

Re: Hammonds Family

Coy92 — 2008-03-18 01:43:00Z

I would also like some info on Mourning Hammonds, I think that she married Marcus Artemus Crocker when Mr. Hammonds died. Her picture was on the Gibson county site.
Let me know.

Re: Hammonds Family

Coy92 — 2008-03-18 17:58:32Z

Hi,

I was wondering if she was Native American? I think that Mark Crocker's first wife Lydia Gilliland was about 1/4 cherokee.
It would strengthen my overall hypothesis that the Crocker men preffered women of Cherokee heritage.

I would love to have any info about her that you can give, she may not be a direct ancestor, she still married one of mine.

Do you know if they had children together?

Have you researched the Crocker family?

Thanks for getting back to me.

I found her in the Hamilton Co. Tn census for 1860 & 1870. She had 3 children: America, Alexander & Samuel. No husband is listed in the census. How does Eliza J. connect to you & do any of my names appear in your research?

I have Fowler family from that area of Gibson Co TN also,
and have been unable to locate the grave of my ggg grandfather's wife, Mary A. (FOWLER) DAVIS b abt 1805 NC and not sure when she died? The family lived in Trenton also.
Her husband was William Davis b abt 1805 NC and think he died around 1869, as that was when the distribution of he estate was.

Are there any other FOWLER's or DAVIS names buried at this cemetery, or do you all out there know where I might look for them? Any help would be so much appreciated.

They were all listed in the 1860 census of Tippah Co., Mississippi. In the 1880 census of the 16th district of Hardin County, Tn., Missouri Banks was listed as Mrs. Zeoury Banks, age 50, (Cherokee)and a widow with children with Amanda, age 19, as one of the children.

Re: Amelia Powell, what happened to her?

wjkjordan — 2008-03-18 14:53:50Z

Hello,
My name is Wanda Jordan. Lillie, Amelia's daughter was my grandmother. She didn't move to St. Louis. She married John Earl Williams from St. Louis. He was a COGIC minister. They married in TN. They had 5 children while living in Milan, TN. One of which was my mother Willie Mae. They moved to Trenton, NJ and had 3 more children. My grandfather was killed in an auto accident along with 2 of my mother's brothers and sister. Two years later the remaining son was killed in a hit and run accident. My grandmother raised 5 daughters alone for 13 yrs until she married another COGIC minister and moved to New Brunswick NJ. Gran died in Trenton, NJ in 1974. I have gathered records for Taylor & Martha Powell and their parents and grandparents. Including marriage and death certificates. Mealy died during the birth of James in 1903. Her husband Louis Brown married again in 1904 to a Bettie Bonds. Lillie & James names were changed to Powell. We never knew she was a Brown until I began this search and check the 1910 census. In the 1920 census their names were listed as Powell. I have soooo much info I can't wait to share it with you, including the White Powell family that were our Powells owners! I can't wait to talk to you.

JOHN CALVIN 'CALVIN' WILLIAMSON

CharMcChris — 2008-03-05 19:17:55Z

I am trying to find information on a gr, gr, gr uncle. His name was John Calvin "Calvin" Williamson. He was born around 1872 probably in Hardin Co., TN. But they also lived around McNairy, Gibson, Chester and Henderson Counties. His parents were George W. and Talisa Elizabeth (Hopper) Williamson. I cannot find him on any census. The only record I have of him is a listing on his father's Civil War Pension Applicatn. He is listed on there with his siblings. I have been told by several family members that he went into the mountains one day and was never heard from again. If anyone has any information about him, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks

John J and Sarah C McCoy

gishpar — 2008-04-02 19:46:15Z

Hi:

My great grandparents were John J and Sarah C. Rose McCoy.
They were both born in Wilkes County North Carolina.
They married in Scott County Virginia. All their children were born in Virginia. They came to Texas about 1902.
I found them living in Montgomery County Arkansas in 1910.
I believe this is the same John J. McCoy listed on the Rootsweb Cemetery listing as being buried in Gibson County TN in 1914. As on the 1910 census one of his grand daughters is listed with them saying she was born in TN. One of the McCoy relatives did move to TN. Rootsweb gives the volume and page number of this cemetery listing. I would like to know if anyone can tell me if there are any cemetery burials online I could look at to see if Sarah might be buried next to him and also if I could view this information from this book online. Wouldn't mind hearing from any descendants if any still live in this county and would like to communicate with me.

Thanks,
Patricia Ruskauff

Churchville Gray Clifft

kwclifft — 2008-09-24 18:18:47Z

Hello,
I am looking for info on John W Clifft. He is listed as living in Gibson Tn. on the 1910 Census with his son Gurchville Gray Clifft (35) his wife Marion Francis (Gibson)(33), Daughter Opal (married EI Cantrell in 1917, Daughter Opal (married Hunter Jones in 1918), Bessie (3) and Jack (19) and John W Clifft (78). John was my gggrandfather thru his youngest son (George Washington Clifft)
In the 1920 Census, Churful Clifft(45), Francis (43) and Vesa Del (12) are listed and John W. Clifft I assume passed away between 1910 and 1920. I am looking for John's Cemetary Listing.
I had lost him after 1900 and recently found he was living with his next to youngest son in Gibson in 1910. I had assumed he was buried somewhere in Decatur County but now believe he may be in Gibson County. In the 1930 census Churchville Gray and Francis are living in Tangipohoa Louisiana and Churchville passed away June 19th 1954 Orleans Parish La.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There were two Caldwell sisters, Alice and Carol, that lived
in Carroll county, McKenzie, TN that graduated from McKenzie
high school in mid 1950's. I believe their father was a
dentist. Perhaps they were from your line.

There was a Dr. Overall in Camden, Benton county, TN in the

wonderful library there and perhaps would be able to help.
Good luck.

You can go to the Gibson County, Tennessee website to do your search.

They have transcripts from most of the cemeteries in Gibson County listed there and a search engine to help with your search for particular surnames. There are several Davis and Fowler listings in the Oakland Cemetery in Trenton.

Good luck with your search.

Widow of C W Jackson migrated Gibson Co to Lamar Co., Texas

JaneJK75 — 2008-04-01 21:35:04Z

I have found a Jackson family who in 1880 was living next household to a Jackson connected to my Jackson line. I figured they must be related someway, so I tracked them back from 1880 to 1870 and 1860 and still don't know who they are. Does anybody recognize this family?

In 1860 C. W. and Elizabeth were living next hh to a D. Jackson and his wife Rachel.

In 1880 Elizabeth and her children were living next hh to James F Jackson (b abt 1834 Madison Co, TN) and his wife Rebecca who had migrated from Tennessee to Texas earlier, about 1855. Was it coincidence or were they related? James was son of Hugh Jackson and Mary Childress, and grandson of David Jackson and Susan Lucy Meador.

Hello,
Amelia, was my grandmother's sister and she was called "Mealy" according to my mother, Ernestine Smith. Her children whom I was fortunate to meet were Lillie and James (Shorty) Brown were raised in Milan, Tennessee by their grandparents Taylor and Martha Powell after their mother died while they were living in Brownsville. Lillie and James always carried the last name Brown. They never used Powell as their last name. After reaching maturity, Lillie and James moved to St. Louis where they spent the rest of their lives. James's daughter, Lois, is expected to return to Milan during the Memorial Day weekend 2008, where she will be attending a family reunion as a decendant of James Brown.

When you get this message, please give me a call!!!! There is some very important information that we need to share.

Re: Dickey

EliseSquires61 — 2008-06-19 03:57:14Z

David Clinton Dickey was my Great-Great Gradfather. He was born Jan. 30, 1827 in Gibson County, Tennessee. He served in the war in the Confederate Army and enlisted in Benton County. He was in the Fifth Tennessee Infantry, Co. M. I was told by my grandfather, Joseph Randolph Dickey, Sr., that his grandfather, Dr. D.C.Dickey, was taken as a prisoner of war and was pressed into service tending the injured Yankees. During that time he was hoarding pain killing medications and hiding them under the floorboards of his holding cell (actually a small cabin room, a privilege afforded him as a physician aiding the wounded). Under the same floor he kept a stocking which he filled with dirt that fell between the floorboards. When he had collected enough dirt and gravel to fill the stocking to make it heavy enough to use as a weapon, he struck one of his captors and changed into his (Union)uniform then made his getaway with the painkillers !!!! He was almost shot by Confederate troops as he made his way to the nearest camp, yelling "Don't shoot boys, I'm one of you" !! I am trying to find information as to where he was prisoner and other information about his service to the Confederacy. I believe he returned to Benton County where he lived out the rest of his days. In my very miniscule research, I located the 1900 Benton County Census to find that my then 26 year old great grandfather, Foster Matthews Dickey, and his wife (my great grandmother) Della, were living with his parents, David Clinton Dickey and his wife Ann, along with their children, Edna, Louise and Jack. This was before my grandfather was born. I knew my Great Aunt Edna and Uncle Jack. This is the first post I have ever made and I sincerely hope I have not broken nine of the ten "commandments", so forgive me for being a rookie. I hope this information has been of help and I will post more as I learn new information. I would also appreciate anything you might find. Are you a relative ???

I was at the Gibson County Courthouse today researching the old house I just bought on Poplar Corner Road in Trenton, Tennessee. It was sold in 1942 by the heirs of Janie Perry, widow of Frank Perry. They are listed as follows: Frank Perry, T.E. Perry, Olivia Perry Brown, T.P. Wade, son of Ethel Perry Wade. Their is also mention of an H.B. Perry.

The house was built in 1929, so maybe Frank and Janie lived here?

State Law requires funeral homes to keep records on deceased for only 1 year in Tennessee. I ran into this problem at Karnes Funeral Home in Rutherford and that's what they told me. Went to another in Springfield, Tn and was told they had taken over about a year ago and immediately burned all funeral records from the past owners. Hopefully Holmes won't be so wreckless.

Re: Gibson Co., TN Cemetery Book

mafreeman1 — 2008-09-20 21:06:40Z

Thank you, the one particular person for whom I am looking is David G. Deason. I have his wife Sarah J. Deason in Trenton City, 7th Civil District in the 1880 census as a widow, and I found this concerning D. G. Deason:
DEASON GENEALOGY - http://home.carolina.rr.com/deasongenealogy/index.htm
TRENTON DIRECTORY - 1872 From the book "West Tennessee Combination Directory - 1872"
Deason, D. G. planter, s. e. 8th and Church
I am not sure what s. e. 8th and Church is referring to, but this is all that I have.
D. G. and Sarah Deason had a son William P. Deason with whom Sarah was living in the 1900 census, also in Trenton City 7th CD.
After the 1900 census I found Sarah and son William P. Deason in AL and them MS.
So I believe that David G. Deason died in Gibson Co between 1872 and 1880. Also there was a daughter Bettie who was in the 1880 census, but Sarah had only one child living in the 1900 census. So I think that Bettie Deason also died in Gibson Co sometime after 1880.
I hope that someone will be able to help me.
Thanks you

Griffis in Gibson County 13th District Robersons Fork

bjharper50 — 2008-03-22 03:19:29Z

Just found a note in my deceased uncle's wallet listing our Griffis family living near Roberson fork. Brothers John, Pleasant and William were ref'd with dates 1730 to 1806.
Does anyone have any inf. on them? I think this area was District 13, Gibson county. I have traced this family to 1811 - William H., his son, John Wesley (Lincoln Co.), his son, John Rastus, and his son (my dad) Billie Warren Griffis. William H was listed in the 1850 census records as Griffith living in Lincoln Co. and in 1860 living in McNary Co.

Re: Dunagan and Climer Cemeteries

taylorcrm — 2008-04-05 23:49:43Z

Having run into the same situation. These cemeteries may be the same cemetery. Small cemeteries on private land often changed names as the property changed ownership. Do you know exactly where your family owned property? The cemetery may be on that land. The other things I would try is to contact the Tax Assesor for each county and see if they show any small private cemeteries in the area on their tax rolls. The second thing I would try is to contact the office where deeds are recorded and look for a deed from a Dunagan to a Climer in the time between their deaths. A third option is if there are any funeral homes in the area that have been in business since the 40's they may know the location(s). Have you checked with the historical or genealogy societies in the area? Just some ideas. Good luck!

GOODBY). While John TROUT would be my primary interest, any entries for his father Jacob TROUT, Sr. (died after 1840) and his brother Joseph TROUT (died after 1860) would also be most welcome. If there are entries, I will write the Courthouse for copies of the wills and related materials.

James,

Thank you for the information on the Mary Ann Motley and the Motley family.

Based on the obituary of Claude Vaden (Robert and Mary Ann's son), they move to Hunt county, Tx around 1887 (when Claude was five). Everyone but Claude (he married a local girl (Della Mae Williams) and decided to stay in Hunt County. He is buried in Mt Carmel cemetery in Wolfe City). later moved to the Stamford area of Jones County, Tx. My wife is the ggranddaughter of Claude.

I would be interested in a family listing of the Motley family. My e-mail is charlies.genealogy@gmail.com

I just answered part of my question. My Mary Jane Vaden was born Aug. 22, 1834, so she cannot be the one married to Robertson. So, next question, does anyone know who the Mary Jane married to Robertson. I have come to become all Vaden's in Gibson Co. were Descended from D. D. Vaden.

Re: Families and History of Gibson Co. 1989

Good Morning,

I was wondering if the book you have mentions anything of a Delaney Dodson (D D) Vaden (1801-1858) and Mickey (Micha) Austin Blankenship (abt 1803-between 1850 & 1854). He is in Dyer Co in 1834 and in Gibson Co by 1840. He is listed in the 1840 & 1850 census in Gibson Co. In particular, I am looking for info on his parents and where both of them are buried. His second wife was Polly Davis (I assume Davis is her married name from a first marriage). His third wife is Martha Jones Parr.

Any history on his children would also be appreciated.
Richard S - married Cynthia Boon - in Pulaski Co. Ar in 1860.
Martha S - married Albert Bledsoe
Elizabeth A - married John W Blankenship
Dorothy Francis - married Alexander Mobley
Mary Jane - married Samuel Hall Jones
Hannah - married Thomas (T J ) Hailey
Henrietta - married John Gleason
Henry C - married Louiza J Hailey (T J's sister) and Eliza Woodrum
Matilda - married George Moore
Joseph Lock - married Mary P McLeary
Robert Wylie - married Eugenia Gaines and Mary Ann Motley (my wife's line)

I would also be interested in any information on any of the spouses families.

I know this is a big request. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

John E Gleason and Matilda Vaden

crvines — 2007-10-09 17:36:39Z

I have a John E Gleason married to Henrietta Vaden on July 14, 1859 in Gibson County, TN. Henrietta is the daughter of D D Vaden and Mickey (Micha) Austin Blankenship (my wife's g-g-g-grandparents)

I found a J. E. and Henrietta Gleson with baby Patrick (1 month old) in the 1860 census of Gibson Co., TN. I am assuming this is the same couple, but need clarification.

I have not been able to find anything else on them as a couple. I have found a John Gleason buried in the Memphis National Cemetery (BURIED AT: SECTION B SITE 379). He enlisted on Oct 1, 1863 and served in the Tr. Fr. 3rd TN Infantry, company F. I do not know if this is the same Gleason.

I would be interested in information on this family.

Hi Linda,

I thought I had posted this before, but apparently not.

I am not able to help with the Rose Hill entry, but maybe the following will help.

At the following website you will find several children of Dee's buried there along with his first wife. There is not on each about who the parents are. It will also list the maiden name for both of his wife's. This is the hart-elkins cemetery. Dee's first wife was a Hart.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, I would like to take you on your kind offer to photograph the tombstone of DEE LAFAYETTE ELKINS.

Dee was born in Henderson Co. TN to parents Sion ELKINS and Mary GALLOWAY Elkins. DEE was an official of some sort in Crockett Co. and maybe even Gibson Co. TN. Research continues.

Here is my email address: Lflent@aol.com

I had such a terrible experience with staff at Gibson Co. TN Library, I have never have been treated so badly by any Library. I asked a staff member if they could check newspapers of Humbolt to see if there was an obituary for DEE ELKINS, person forgot, after 3 telephone calls and one email, I gave up. The staff told me that it would be no problem checking, but my request went into a black hole.

We have DEE's obit from "Lexington Progress", Lexington, Henderson CoTn, but others tell me there are some inaccuracies.

Thanks again for offer of photography, we Elkins researchers are very appreciative.

Sallie Bates Chessor, b. 1885, TN

LindaHudsonBai — 2007-06-10 21:55:36Z

Seeking the parents of Sallie Bates Chessor, b. 1885, TN, located in 1910 in Hickman co, TN, wife of Richard Chessor. Her brother Walter Bates, b. 1894, living with her. In 1920 and 1930, Richard and Sallie Bates Chessor are in Gibson Co, TN.

In 1900, Buck Bates and his wife Katie, are in Eaton, Gibson Co, TN, with their children, including Walter W. Bates, b. 1894, but no Sallie. Katie appears to be second wife and b. in Mississippi. Don't know where Sallie is on this census, but believe Buck is W.W. Bates, who appears as a boarder on 1880 census. Believe Buck Bates had a first wife who was mother of Sallie, as well as Ernest, b. 1882, Froy or Troy, b. 1889, Zera Lee, b. 1890 and Marion, b. 1896 (a son). Sarah J. Bates was mother of Buck in 1900 census, age 74, b. NC.

Would like to know the parents of Sallie Bates, including verification of father as W.W. Bates or "Buck." Also interested in whether Sallie Bates Chessor's mother was a Native American. Sallie probably died in Madison Co. TN at the home of her grandson, Omer Chessor.

Nancy Watt's family donated the land for the cemetery. At James McClure's death the spelling was McClour. I am including some names for your review.

Re: Wright McLemore Family

doloresmckee69 — 2007-05-30 00:05:23Z

Kevin,

Late in replying but still may connect some more lines. Wright McLemore, Jefferson Co Ark. was the grandfather of my grandfather, Elisha McLemore. Wright died around 1845. His three sons, John, Sterling and Rufus were all killed in the Civil war. We believe that he was born in North Carolina, but despite research by several people we have been unable to find his first wife. There are some researchers believe that he had more children than the five that I know of, but I am not sure. Have you seen the Strongfamilytree.org on the web? A very good representation of a branch of the McLemore family.

Re: benjamin joslin

edgriffin — 2007-07-30 22:08:46Z

Brian, if you have located or do locate his gravesite please post it as a reply to your original messege will you? Do you know the name of all his children by any chance? I've read his obit but it was not specefic to the location but only near Trenton which could be anywhere. I have gone over Gibson counties website showing Benjamin listed only in the 1830 Sheriff's tax list and the 1830 Census. There was a William Joslin in the 1840 Gibson co Census. Also there were these marriages in Gibson county:
Harriett R. Joslin to Samuel B. Mixon 27-Sept.,1832
Mary A. Joslin to Ely Evans 17 July, 1833
Willis Joslin to Mary Dorset 8 Nov., 1838
Lamanios Joslin to Thos. J. Wood 12 March 1857
Listed in the 1850 Gibson co census, District 12 (same houshold) are:
Jno S Wood 24 male born in TN, Liddy Wood 27 female born in NC, Lamoria Joslin 9 female born in TN. This is about all I've found today going through Gibson county and in the past. There are several related Joslin's in the next county over, Dyer county, and still some today but there is also a Thomas Joslin and family there that I have yet to connect with. My gg grandfather, Daniel Boon Joslin, moved there close to the time this Thomas did, 1870's/1880's. Both were born abt the same time as well, Daniel 1824, Thomas 1825. If I have everything in order then Daniel was Benjamin's nephew through his brother Daniel, sons of John Joslin. This is why I have spent time trying to find out if this Thomas was possibly related to Benjamin with no success. I can only guess why Benjamin moved to Gibson county from Davidson county only because he had children there as well as middle TN. If you are related to Benjamin you have probably found that he is about the most well documented early Joslin in TN. If you do post the location of his gravesite I would be happy to go there and take a picture of his headstone and send it. Trenton is not real close but close enough for a drive to do that.

I think my great grandmother is the Cynthia Ann Kennedy you are looking for. She was born in Dacatur County TN in 1871. She married Varnie (Varney) Jines in 1892. She died in Humboldt, TN in 1948. I do have some information but not a lot. The funeral home records states that her parents were Frank and Fannie Kennedy. Other than that I don't know anything about her parents.

Re: BOWEN, William

KMcFarlane8046 — 2007-12-23 03:25:02Z

I'm so happy to say who this William Bowen is: He's my great great grandfather, William Franklin Bowen(s)and also a "brick wall" in my searches.

I can't find him before his marriage to Martha Jane Betts in 1866 in nearby Weakley County. By family lore and the 1900 Census, he was born in Illinois (family stories but no documenation say near Centralia) - all the other census years say Tennessee. He was born in 1842 or thereabouts, and died sometime between 1900 and 1910 (he might be the William Bowen who's death certificate in Dyer County says 1909.)
He fought for the union in the civil war (per the 1890 census) but lived mostly among his wife's and daughter Tennessee Belle's relatives near Bradford Tennessee - a hotbed of Southern sympathizers. We haven't been able to find his grave (his wife died in MO living with her daughter, and was buried there).

He and Martha Jane had three children, only one of whom was living in 1900: They were Elizabeth, born in 1867, who is not seen after the 1880 census; John born in 1870, apparently died before the 1880 census, and Tennessee Belle, , born in 1872, who married William Gooden Pounds and lived into her 80s.

I will get back to you on the King line Karen.
Hope I got the dates all correct...

I missed a reference to Thornton McFarling for "Orange Co., NC. Wills:
Book D, p 495 - will dated 2 March 1816, proven Nov. 1816 - Jacob Umstead - mother and her daughter Jane, my brothers and sisters, my brother David's sons, my brothers John's
sons.
Executor - Elisha Umstead,. Witness - Thornton McFarling.
------------------------------
The Mattison, Matterson, or Madison name I have nothing on - except I noticed in the Gibson Co., TN marriages that Bailey Madison was a bondsman to the marriage of my ancestor Enoch Walker and his first wife Elizabeth Walker in 1834. Perhaps a check on the census recs in Granville co., NC would show something.

Joyce - Tomorrow I will dig into my paper files and get back to you. Susan King married Joseph McFarlin in Madison Co., TN Apr. 16, 1861. They had two children, Mary Adeline b. 1864 and Jo Amos b.1868. Adeline died in TX. I corresponded with a descendant of hers many years ago. Some of my Walkers and some of Allen Kings grown children went to TX ca. 1887.

In the HH of Allen King (Susan's father and my GG Grandfather) 1880 census:

Allen KING Self W Male W 66 TN Farmer SC VA

I have Walkers, Nichols and Bratton lines from this area. I know Thornton McFarland was in the area early in the 1800's and were tied in with the Umstead lines also. More tomorrow.

Thanks, Marlene Shake

Eliza McMurray b1860 m in 1892 Wm H January b 1853

gandamartin — 2007-10-09 03:35:53Z

Does anyone know anything about her parents or family?
This is the last great-grandmother on both sides of our family that I haven't been able to learn anything about. I hope someone out there can help.

Elizabeth E. or Eliza McMurray b 1860 in TN
married William Hardeman January b 1853 in Gibson Co., TN.
She was about 32 when they married, and he was 40. I've found no indication that she had been married before, so this is probably her maiden name.

I've found them on the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census, but can't find them on the 1930 census. I haven't been able to find her in any cemetery listing.

I have looked and looked at the 1870 and 1880 census, but can't find a clue. Some of the images are really bad, and I suspect that the name is not indexed correctly. In fact, the last straw was looking through 3,390 names and locations today for McMur*.

In [1870 Gibson Co TN Dist 7, p63 (342b)] looks like it could be Mcmury, but the father’s given name is illegible. It is the same first name as the 6-year-old son. Seipreum? Leipreum? Maybe it is Lipscum, as Genweb has.

The others in the family are:
Eugenia C. 43,
Jimmie W. 15,
Laura 12,
Eliza 10, and
L ?? 6.

Thank you for wading through this long message this far,

Re: John W Bowen, Gibson Co, Tennessee 1870

timumphlett — 2007-06-10 19:50:17Z

I am researching a John Bowen Sr and Jr who were in Pitt County NC in 1810. I know that some of this Bowen line came from Bertie County NC and traveled to Tennesee in early 1800's. Do you know where your John Bowen Sr came from. Could it have been NC? Let's talk.
Tim

Re: John W Bowen, Gibson Co, Tennessee 1870

timumphlett — 2007-06-12 19:44:24Z

John Bowen was listed in Bertie County in 1757 as being born before 1736 along with a Dan Bowen. I believed this Dan to be Clifton Bowen Sr's son who went later to Duplin County around 1784. From that, I believe the other Bowen in Bertie County, John Bowen to be Dan's brother. I believe that possibly this is were John Sr and John Jr came from. A John Bowen Jr from Bertie County married a daughter of Lemuel "Lamb" Hardy who was also from Bertie County. No exact dates on the married or the name of the daughter. This married was listed on a Hardy Web Site stating the children of Lamb Hardy. A John Bowen (and a Richard Bowen) was listed on the Tax List of Pitt County in 1762 and 1763. 1790 there was an Abraham Bowen and 1810 there was Abraham, John Sr, and John Jr. There is possibly a John Bowen listed in 1800. But, the microfilm is very hard to read. Lemuel Bowen was the son of John Bowen Jr. John Bowen's wife's parents were Lemuel Hardy and Elizabeth Hardy. Note that John Jr's children were named after his wife's parents; Lemuel and Elizabeth Bowen. My wife is from Lemuel Bowen's line in Green County,NC, which is next door to Pitt County. Actually, Lamb Hardy had two sons that moved from Bertie County to Green County around 1760; Benjamin and Lemuel II. These are the brothers of John Jr's wife who lived in next door Pitt County.
Talking about this Richard Bowen in 1762, I think he was another son of Clifton Bowen Sr. In a letter from Duplin County NC, Clifton Sr's sons to their relatives in New Jersey, stated that there was 7 children of Clifton Sr. 3 were not listed. I believe those three were Richard, John, and possibly an Isaac. Isaac Bowen fought in the Rev War in Pitt County. In face, John Sr and Jr also fought in the Rev War. In Duplin County, Clifton Sr and Jr along with Jr's brother, Stephen, fought in the Rev War. After the war, Clifton Jr moved to Georgia from Duplin, NC. A John Bowen moved to Georgia too. In fact, alot of the same Bowen names show up in Georgia later (early 1800's) I am trying to find more information of the Pitt County Bowens to get a connection or to confirm not a connection to Clifton Sr. There is an old family story about 3 brothers coming into the Pitt County Area and moving else where. I think it is from John, Richard, and Isaac Bowen. John went to Georgia, Isaac went to Wilkes County NC(I think?), and Richard I dont know. Is it clear as mud? I also know that some Bowens in early 1800's moved to Tennesee. A Samuel Bowen from Pitt County married Sarah Hartley from Mississippi in 1837.
This is some of the information I have.

B&R Gear is a machine shop in Sharon, Tn. I believe they would remember when it happened. I talked to Carmen and he said it was 20yrs ago. I still have a cousin Charlie Rinds and he has an excellent memory, I will ask him. I was a character whiteness about 11 yrs ago in Steve Kings divorce. Unfortunately it was the other side of the family. Give me a few more days and maybe I can come up with something. Lisa

Re: John Martin Wilkes/Washington Lafayette and Jane Crockett Wilkes/Anna Mae West

jameslgreen1 — 2008-01-05 04:17:22Z

Glad that helped...and hope that Ray can fill in some of the blank spots. As I said Wilma is in the nursing home in Trenton and her mind ic certainly good enough to answer some questios. She has a telephone in her room and Ray would probably give you that number.

I am one of those people who love history and as I said I remember Wilma talking about her late husbands family in Columbus. I think she said they went there for a visit... but I may be wrong on that score. If I remember correctly the sister Eunice never married. I think Iremember Wilma saying that.. but I am sure that Ray will know the answer to that question and many more.
best wishes and good luck in your family search.

Hello
I was reading thru the entries on the message board and saw this thread. I am not related to the Wilkes but my Father's second wife is Wilma Wilkes who was first married to John Wilkes. She is still alive and a resident of the nursing home in Trenton,TN (Gibson county) Your remark about Columbus caught mt eye becase I remember her telling me that her husband had a niece and some relatives there.

Wilma has a son Ray Wilkes who lives in Trenton,TN . Tel:731
866-9118. Ray has a sister named Wanda but I do not have contactr info for her. The Wilkes lived in Dyer,TN. which is in Gibson county. It is a common misunderstanding about Dyersburg vs. Dyer. Dyersburg is in Dyer county! Yes--it get confusing. I know that Mr Wilkes is buried in the city cemetery in Dyer,TN.
I hope this will help some--good luck in your search.

Re: Stallings, Looney, Barrett, Bradford, Williams, McBride, McDougald & more...

jameslgreen1 — 2007-07-06 04:22:12Z

Hello
I may be able to add a small bit to your search for the Newhouse,Bradford,and Stallings family. They were from the area around the Edison community between Humboldt and Trenton(about 5 miles from Humboldt,7 from Trenton)
Several of them including a JC Bradford and many Stallings are buried in the Old Gibson primitive Baptist church cemetery on Barker lane in the Edison community. JC Bradford was a minister and farmer and Zack Stallings was a noted Primitive Baptist minister as well. The Newhouse family may well be buried in Old Gibson then probably at the Methodist church cemetery Oak Grove Methodist.

I have heard my grandmother and family speak of "Maude McDougal" who married a Stanley Hamilton. "Miss Maude" as she was known lived to a very advanced age nearing 100 years old. She died a few years ago. They are buried in the Oak Grove cemetery as well.

I wish I knew more about the families you mentioned...sorry I dont.
You might want to contact Mr Fred Culp the Gibson county Historian. He will have a wealth of knowledge regarding those old familes.

best wishes in your search.

Re: Morrison Family Burial Plot

jameslgreen1 — 2007-05-29 03:44:53Z

Jim

I am a Koffman family descendant and Elizabeth Koffman Morrison was my grandmothers aunt. I suspect that you aer a descendant of Betty Koffman and "uncle John Morrison(who was an undertaker).

Mr James Coble of Humbodt TN tele 731-784-9509 who is the Overseer or the Oak Grove Methodist church cemetery could probably help you with the answer.

I know that the property was known to my grandmother and her kin as the "uncle John Morrison place" and is adjacent to the Oak Grove church property.

I am unsure how you may be related to the late Virgina Morrison Agnew Blackwell but I enjoyed speaking with her the last two years of her life. I remeber some of the older Morrison clan from my youth among them Sam Morrison and his sisters Ina and Sarah Morrison Biggs.
We are having a Koffman reunion this coming Sat. at Oak Grove. I know its a bit late.. but your or any Morrison descendants would be welcome. We have lots of info etc on the Koffmans. I think I have a large photo of uncle John Morrison sitting on his horse drawn hearse!

Re: Robert Wylie Vaden and Mary Ann Motley

jameslgreen1 — 2007-05-29 03:16:46Z

Hello
I may be able to shed a bit of light on Mary A Motley. I am a descendant of the Motley family. My gr.gr grandfather was William Motley who was the uncle of Mary A Motley,so far as I know.
Mary A Motley was the dau of one of William's brothers and he had several. His brothers were James Motley(eldest brother) b.1820(?) He also had a brother named "Pomp" one named Edwin Marston and one named Merrit. I am not certain which of the brothers was the father of Mary Ann Motley. I have never seen any record of the off spring of the Motley brothers. More than one of them was never married and I would suspect that either Edwin or James cuold be Mary Ann's father. They all died during the 1870-1880's except William. There was an outbreak of measles during 1854 when 5 members of the Motley family died. I have been to the old Motley grave yard where all those who died prior to late 1800's were buried. It is pretty much over grown now and weedy. There were some old tombstones still standning from those days several years ago.
William was the son of John(Jack) Motley and Mary Lowe Motley. The parents of John Motley were Harrison Motley who lived until 1847.
Harrison had removed from NC to Indiana(Monroe county) and lived there for several years.

I had a gr.gr.aunt named Molly Koffman Nicholson who lived im Wichita Falls TX. Her daughter Erma Nicholson Richardson
once had a friend write me concerning this Motley Vaden family. I am sorrry that I can not remember her name but she was a very nice lady.

My grandmothers mother was a Motley and her father Dr Jno N Koffman and his brother married the only daughters of William Motley. The were born around the time of Mary A Motley. I will be happy to answer any more questions that I can regarding the Motley family.

As an aside,Humboldt is in Gibson county which is where the Motley family came from Wake county North Carolina. The old boundary of Crockett county was moved around once or twice
.
I do have a pedigree on the Motley family will send if you desire. I think that the Vaden-Motley family left Gibson county at the very end of or turn of the century. I do remember that Mary A Motley was married at Christmas.

NCtoTNTabor — 2007-07-05 21:17:37Z

Tara,
1880 Gibson Co., TN Census - Lettie Barrett 34(TN OH OH), Mollie 12(KY KY KY), Lolly 11(TN SC AL), Loretta 7(TN SC AL), Dewitt 5 (TN SC AL) so Lettie isn't dead and has the children with her. If it is accurate, none of the children belong to her, and Mollie had a different set of parents than the rest. You would think that Lettie would know where her children were born if they were hers?

Miles Clark and Letha who married 10 Sep 1876 are listed as black and are living together in the 1880 census, so you can mark them off your list. The Letita that married Ben Pierce was born about 1858, your Letta was born about 1846 - too much of an age gap to be same person.

I wasn't able to find them in Gibson Co in 1870 or 1900 either. Another question is that in 1910 and 1920 Dewitt says he was born in Missouri, both parents in TN. Can't locate him in 1930, but his son Butler is married and in Missouri.

Please reply if this helps at all.

By the way, I am researching the family of Franklin Pierce Hefley for a friend!

I also have Zacharia (misspelled), Gaberiel and William Shaw as possible brothers of John Baptist Shaw but nothing that says for sure that they are his brothers.

Hi Bill,

Not sure if you'll remember me. Christopher Columbus BELL (Jr.) was my grandfather. He died when I was only 4, and and I don't remember him other than in photos. I have started doing genealogy research again and would love to have copies of any information on my family you might be willing to share. Since Pearl BELL was your GGrandmother, and Christopher C BELL was my grandfather, we must be some sort of cousins? I haven't got a handle on all the relations yet.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards.

The children of Moses Hays and Adeline Keesee were:
William L. b. abt 1824
Franklin b. abt 1826, married Sarah INGRAHAM 1847 in GIBSON Co.

My husband's ggggrandparents are buried in the Johnson/Oliver cemetery and were neighbors to Ira. His
grandfather married an Oliver, but can't find the connection to your Olivers. Trying to discover if they were related, or just neighbors.
There is also a BURRELL OLIVER who lived in the same area, possibly Thurston and Martha's son. He married Charity
Carter on 2-24-1843.
The 1860 census shows Burrell, age 54, born in VA, farmer;
Charity, age 36, born in NC; Sarah E., 15, TN; Martha B., 13, TN; Sidney W., 10, TN; Harriet M.,8, TN;Delila, 4, TN;

Early West TN Marriages also lists WILSON OLIVER marrying

Wilson must be T.W.. So Ira and T.W. both married Adams women.

Re: Thurston and Martha OLIVER

Possibly the OLIVERS came to TN with an ADAMS family.
In the Adams Cemetery #1 (Antebellum Tombstone Inscriptions, Carroll Co. TN)near Springcreek, TN, an infant son of T.W.and S.A. OLIVER is buried(1853) along with an infant son of I.D. and MARY OLIVER(1843) and a number of Adams.
T.W.and S.A. OLIVER are buried in the Johnson/Oliver Cemetery in the Milan Arsenal, Carroll County, along with a daughter,"MARTHA S., wife of JOHN DOUGLAS, and dau. of
T.W. and S.A. OLIVER,6-12-1844---9-19-1864".
I.D. Oliver married Mary Adams on 11-24-1842 in Carroll County. (Early West TN Marriages)---there is an error in the marriage listings, showing Ira D. as J.R.A.D. Oliver.

Researching a house in Milan TN

leaguegirl77 — 2007-06-22 15:46:23Z

I hope this is ok to post on a genealogy forum. To me a house that a family built and lived in is a part of that families history.

I live in a house in Milan TN on Park Ave. It is the stone house at the end of the street before you hit hwy 70/79. I know that before we bought it, it was owned by the family that owned the Dairy Queen. And many folks from around here remember them. But my interests go back farther than that. It is in the tax books as being built in 1936. In genealogy terms that is not that long ago. It is quite a unique house and has very unique details. I would love to know more about the history of this wonderful house. So I hope there are some stories out there.

I have a ton of questions, and if anyone knows the answer to any of them, I would be so grateful.

Does anyone know the name of the family that built and lived in the house?
Does anyone remember it being built? Or the details of it being buit. How did the stone get here? Railroad?
How old is Park Ave? Was it always called Park Ave? Did it ever have a park?

I have many other questions, but I suppose I will wait untill I hopefully get some answers on these.

Thank you all so much.

No..I don't know anything about these people..I just have the book that shows that Clara Bush wrote a poem for them. If he was your 4 times great grandfather I would think that 1883, which was when the book was written, would be too recent to have been him. I guess you might mean he could be a relative. At any rate I would contact the lady who first replied to this, she probably has the information you need.

I'm not sure but I think there might have been two bluff springs schools...I read an article that talked about one that was open before the Civil War then closed about 1868 it was located near milan. This building was later moved to Gibson and used as a school. I dont know if this later building was still called Bluff Springs. At any rate if it was it seems to have moved locations after 1868

RE: I am going to this cemetery on Friday of this week, as I will be taking photographs myself. I would be happy to find this grave for you and take a picture and forward on to you. Please let me know if you would like me to do this.
Even if I do no hear from you I will try to do it anyway in case. I am not sure if there is a caretaker for this cemetery. I do know that the cemetery is handled by the town of Humboldt. On the internet you can type in a cemetery search for gibson cou and you can see if they are actually listed. I will contact you after I get back to send a pic to you.

I am researching the two family lines listed.
The Harris line is from my fathers moms line and the Duke is from my fathers dads line.
I believe there is still at least one living Harris living in the Humboldt area on the 45Bypass who would have family information. The home on the bypass has been in the Harris family for many years.
I can only remember my dad talking about Doc and Iome/Ione?? I am not sure where they fit in the family.
Any information on these two family lines would be appreciated!

I am researching the Dickey/Duke/Taylor lines and specifically trying to find out information on William Taylor Dickey m to Mary ?. I believe they married in or around the Orangeburg SC area and then moved to the Parsons/Lexington TN area. When they arrived and showed up on a Decatur co census, they had a daughter, Laura Ardella, who by family history, was a half breed child left on their doorstep as an infant to raise. I believe Laura to be a Dickey by birth, but which Dickey?
Any information on this family line would be so appreciated!

Linda,
You are so welcome, as I know the feeling when you get some bit of help in the search!
I just want to double check with you before I go digging, is this person buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Humboldt, Gibson Co, Tn? If so, I will have a picture for you as soon as possible.
My own mother has been gone a year on Friday and so I am making the trek to the cemetery.
I would also be glad to try to go by the library there.
I will tell you that it is possibly the smallest little library you would ever hope to see, but they do have a good archive of stuff.
I sat down one day and went back through newspapers from when my parents were born in that area! Talk about feeling like I was getting a chance to step into the past...
I will see if I can maybe get them busy if a real live body is standing in front of them..lol
let me know on the cemetery and then I will know what to do

John Martin Wilkes/Washington Lafayette and Jane Crockett Wilkes/Anna Mae West

trouble1964 — 2008-01-03 02:45:18Z

My grandmother, Frances Elois Wilkes Beard, was the daughter of
John Martin Wilkes unknown
and Anna May West b. 14 Mar 1885 in TN and d. 20 Feb. 1967, Columbus, MS at my grandmother's home.
My grandmother had a brother John and a sister Eunice that I remember. She was from the Dyer or Dyersburg, TN area.

John Martin Wilkes was most likely the grandson of
Washington Lafayette Jefferson Wilkes--b.28 Aug 1824 in TN d:18 Jun 1887 in TN.
and
Jane Crockett Love--b.28 Dec 1826 in TN and d. 22 Apr 1885 in TN. They were married in 1844. Thier other children were

1845-1928 John Love Wilkes
1847-1910 Mary K Wilkes
1850-1921 Susan A Wilkes
1853-1921 Ella Jane Wilkes
1856-1930 William L Wilkes
1869-1947 Sallie Bett Wilkes
John Martin Wilkes

I am thinking that John Martin is the son of one of the children of Washington and Jane Wilkes because I have reason to believe (but not confirm) that he was born in the 1880's, past childbearing age for Jane. He and Anna Mae's first child was born in 1907, Eunice, then John in 1914 and my grandmother in 1918.
Either Eunice or John had a daughter named Wilma who was possibly born in the 1940's.

I am trying to trace this branch of Wilkes, as well as Anna Mae West's relatives. Can anyone link me up with sources? Thanks in advance.

Re: Stallings, Looney, Barrett, Bradford, Williams, McBride, McDougald & more...

deah12 — 2007-07-05 22:19:02Z

Hi. I did find all that since last posting. I don't know why Lettie reported wrong but Lettie was their mother. Lettie and her side were born in Gibson Co Tn. Her husband (James D Barrett) was also born in Gibson Co Tn. It could be a neighbor reported for them. I estimate that Lettie died shortly after the 1880 census. Two different cousins have reported that DeWitt was raised by his sister, Sarah aka Sally, most of his life. DeWitt and Lollie were born in Dunklin Co Mo. James Barrett and his brother Joseph migrated to Missouri. Joseph remained that after James' death and Lettie returned to Gibson Co Tn with her children. I still don't know when James died but assume shortly after Dee was born. Joseph raised a family in Dunklin and his neice (James' daughter), Lollie, returned there with husband (William Looney) and son. William died and she remarried Robert C Wade (he's also from Gibson Co Tn).

Ok, going back to Dee. In 1930 he is in South Dakota. He went there with son Nathaniel and daughter Lola. He died in Butte Co SD in 1944.

Butler was my grandfather. His real name is John Quincy Adams Barrett. I still have no idea why they called him Butler on every census record since he was 5 years old. A weird nickname to get so early on.

Is your friend descended from Mollie? I would love to exchange info on that line. I can send you my gedcom file that has all the Barrett info. I have done a lot of research on the family.

Re: Looking for descendents ofJno Bodkins and Polly

EBarnesBlue12126 — 2007-04-07 05:28:30Z

John and Polly (Mary Sandford) Bodkins did have a son named whose name appears as Heyk, (age 1 in Dec 1850) or Hugh (age 11 in 1860) and in each census he is in the household of John Bodkins. The handwriting of the census-taker makes it difficult to know if he was trying to spell Hugh or Heyk. In any case, Heyk/Hugh/Hew started using Hew at some point as that is how he is listed in the 1880 Census of Gibson County, Tennessee, now 30 years old, born in Tennessee, father born in Ireland, and Mother born in Virginia. I believe that my ancestor, James Bodkins, and John and William L Bodkins are all brothers, probably sons of William R. Bodkins. If you would like to exchange information on these families please email me.

Re: McClure's in Gibson

smcclure10 — 2007-03-30 13:16:58Z

I think it would be helpful to exchange information. I don't have any extra information regarding the marriage I described. But since my orginal posting, I have been in contact with a TN researcher who is distant relation through a common ancestor, William MCCLURE, the father of the Joseph MCCLURE in my original posting.

William MCCLURE, who lived in Carroll County, TN and is buried there, had a number of children, including my ancestor, James MCCLURE. Sometime in the 1840-50 time period, James MCCLURE moved to St. Clair County, IL and purchased farmland. He married Alsy ABERNATHY in St. Clair County, IL and had one son, Miles. Alsy died and James married Sarah Ann LEWIS, in St. Clair County, IL.

I'm pretty certain a number of William MCCLURE's children stayed in the Carroll County, TN area.

I am looking for the parents of George F. Davidson. He was born in 1875. He married first a Maude Hampton and second a Sanders. He lived most of his adult life around the Skullbone area.

I found a Nancy M Davidson on the 1880 Gibson Co Tn census Rutherford area with Nancy being listed as a widower with two children George b 1875 and Mary b 1877. The dates fits for this to be the George I am looking for. I would luv to find out who Nancy was and who George's father was.

On the 1910 Obion Co census for dist 13, there is a George listed living with his mother Nancy and his stepfather. This was after George's first wife died and the children fit with the names I have for them. His stepfather was James E. Bruff.

Any info on who George's father was and who Nancy's parents were would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Crisp/Crispe Relation?

c_mckinnish — 2007-07-02 10:12:39Z

I'm trying to trace Stecoah Crisps back to the UK. So far I'm finding Crispes that migrated from Mass., US and before that a Benjamin Crispe born in Lincolnshire, UK that came to America on a ship called the Plough. I know it's possible that "e" can be dropped from names, but if anybody can confirm a migration from England to Middlesex, Mass. or from there to Martin Co. or Stecoah that would be great! Also, I found a Jonathan Crispe that was married to Deliverance Mansel and I was curious if there was a relation between this group and William Mansel Crisp (Born in Anson County, 1695).

Do you have info on any of the other siblings. I guess our Newton would be a brother to your ancestor then? Do you have any info on their parents? I found their names were Levi and Lavina Smith. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks!

Re: Doziers from Tennessee

MaryBullock70 — 2007-12-29 13:22:06Z

I was not aware there was a Dozier reunion in Yorkville in the 70's. That's the year I got married so I guess I was busy, but I never heard my parents mention it either. I'm sure my Mom and grandmother would have loved to have been there. My grandmother was Lessie Gray (Smith) Dozier and was married to Ozzie Hillard Dozier. My Mother was Virginia Ruth Dozier and married J.C. Trull from Crockett County, TN. That's where I come in. I have one brother, Thomas Harold Trull. How are you related to me? You said you have quite a bit of information, do you have any information about my Uncle, Carman Dozier? I know he was a decorated soldier according to the information on the Gibson County website. I just can't locate any of his children. My cousin in Annadale, VA has a lot of information. Her name is Glynda Marie Dozier, now married to Scott Hurley. I live in Jackson, TN. Where do you live?
Please stay in touch as there is not a lot of family left that I can find. I didn't know about Pat passing away. We emailed back and forth for a while a year of two ago. He was pretty close in Memphis but I never knew he existed until he replied to one of my messages on this site.
My email is littlesis38301@yahoo.com. I check it about twice a day.

Hi Trudi;
I don't have any Carlton's in my line that I know of and none of the Hopper names you listed are in my file. However that doesn't mean that they aren't related because there are a ton of them and I know I don't have a lot of them. Do you know who your John Hopper's parents were or where they were from originally?
I will keep the names you sent so that if I come across them in my searching I will have them. Thank you for answering. I really appreciate it.

Re: Boon(e) family

BrendaGart — 2007-05-29 12:36:48Z

Hi James,
Thank you so much for posting this information. I'm always hoping that any information about the history of the BOON families in Gibson, Obion, Weakley counties, etc. will turn up that one clue that might enable me to find the connection of any of these BOONs to my gg grandfather, John T. (prob. Thomas) BOON/BOONE, b. c1819 - 1820 in North Carolina. I've been working on finding his parents, siblings or ANY connection for about 6 years with no luck. Earliest record for him that I've found is the 1842 Weakley Co. TN Tax List. Prior to that, I have nothing. He'd have been around 22 in that year, and, evidently, may have been living on his own (married in 1843) in Weakley Co., TN. Thanks again for posting this BOON information. Brenda

I have very limited information about the Farrars. If you will send me your e-mail address, I will send you a report generated by my World Family Tree, It takes some getting used to to read it.
Mother had always said that granddaddy, Elmer Holman, was part Indian from his mother. Mother was going to take her sister to see the "indian's" house, but she died first. I've been trying to get some information on this, but have found nothing.

I am searching for many information on Levi Bradford son of Harris Bradford. Broen about 1806 Tennessee.
He was in the the 1840 census of Gibson County. In that census his Family consisted of a wife unknown,4 daughters and 3 sons.

In the 1850 census I find Levi Bradford and Nancy Bradford, one of his daugters, living with Levi's sister Mary Bradfors and her husband Daniel Crafton. Two farms over I find an other daughter Amanda Bradford living with another sister of Levi, Frances and her husband Alexander Vaungh.

In the 1860 Census of Gibson county I find Levi still living with his widowed sister Mary Bradford Crafton. Both Nancy and Amanda had married by this time.

Amanda Bradford married William J Jordan, br ca 1825 to Zachariah Jordan and Tabitha Stokes. They are in the 1860 census of Henderson county. Nancy had married Lafayette Greer or Green.

I find Levi Bradford in the 1870 census of Henderson County living next door to William J Jordan and Amanda Bradford Jordan.

I also found where Levi served as Bondsman to several marriages in Gibson County, one of the was the marriage between James C Bradford and Mary Williams in 1844.

Who was Levi's wife? Who were there children? When and Where thwey married?

I would appreciate any help!!

It is possible the Robert listed could be Thurston's father. But of course there's no way to know for sure just based on this census.

Thomas P. is "said" to be Thurston & Martha's son; along with Mary, Burrell, (possibly) Alexander, (possibly) and Robert.

Charles and Henry might be Thurston's brothers? (just speculating)

Has anyone been able to connect Thurston Oliver with Thomas Wilson Oliver?

Thomas Wilson Oliver (1822-1908) married Susan Ann Adams (1813-1909). Their children were Martha S., John W., Melton B., Dewitt C, and one more son I have not been able to identify yet (maybe it's the infant buried at Adams Cem?).
