APPLETON, Sam

JJohnson2161 — 2 Jul 2001 4:00:49 GMT

I am researching my g grandparents. SAMUEL APPLETON b. 1847; married NANCY ELMINA ??? b. 1858; they were married in 1870. He states he was born in AL on 2 censuses and TN on 2. She was born in TN. I have them on the 1880,1900 and 1910 census in Giles Co. TN. On the 1920 census they are in Limestone Co. AL. Have not been able to find them on any other census. I don't know who his father was but I found a Samuel on the 1850 Fayette Co. TN census age 2; father James R. mother Elizabeth Appleton. I am not sure if this is his parents. Have been unable to find another Samuel anywhere else. I don't know Nancy's maiden name.

Their children are: Hiram b. 1874; William b. 1876; John b. 1878; Robert David b. 1879; Mickey (my grandmother) b. Dec. 1881; Easter b. July 1886; Mary b. July 1888; Geneva b. May 1890; Lela b. Aug. 1892; Douglas b. March 1894; Weakley b. July 1898; Franie (I believe died young)

There is a Samuel Appleton b.1850 d. July 14, 1923 buried at Prospect TN that states his parents James b. VA, Cornelia b. AL. I believe this could be him. Also Nancy Appleton 1856-1953 is buried in William Brown Cemetery. I believe this could be my Nancy.

They Had children in Vito, AL and I know that is where she was living when she died.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in determining who their parents were and their linage.

53rd Tennessee Infantry Regiment

Jim_Counce — 19 Jul 2004 3:13:41 GMT

I am looking for a picture in uniform of any enlisted member of the 53rd Tennessee Infantry Regiment, CSA, from Giles County or Lawrence County. If you have a picture that you can e-mail to me, it will be most helpful. I am trying to identify the uniform used by Company G, 53rd Tennessee Infantry Rgiment, the unit of my great-grandfather Peter Counce. If you can't e-mail a picture, can you describe the uniform--type and shape of cap, general description of the cut of the coat, button style and placement. Or perhaps you can direct me to an on-line picture of the uniform.

Thank you for any assistance.

Fayetteville, Tn newspaper obit

hawkifr — 16 Jul 2008 12:37:44 GMT

Does anyone have access to info from the Fayetteville newspaper for obit. of Sadie Gertrude Williams who died July 10, 1928? I was also told that a few days or weeks later, her grieving husband, Sam, took his own life. I don't know the date for his death. These folks were my grandparents. My own parents died when I was a teenager, so I never got to talk to my father in greater detail about this tragedy that happened in his family when he was young. If anyone can tell me if there was anything in the newspaper about those events, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you,

Goodnight, Elijah

TedStout50 — 4 Jul 2008 2:00:52 GMT

Elijah Goodnight, son of Henry was found in the 1840, 1850 and 1860 census records of Giles County. In 1860, he, along with daughter Samantha and son Frank, are in the household of Robert Saunders. Elijah was 52 years old in 1860 so I figured his son R. A. who served in the CSA from Giles County was the only soldier. However, Elijah apparently moved to Indiana where his daughter Samantha married Gideon Miller on 22 Oct 1865. They then moved to Greene Co. Iowa where Elijah died 22 Oct 1868. He is buried in the Kendrick Township Cemetery. His cemetery transcription has G.A.R on it which would indicate he was in the Grand Army of the Republic an organization of Union veterans. Does anyone have any record of Elijah's war service? I do not find anything in the usual indexes such as the Soldiers and Sailors database.

Kimbrough and Birds of a Feather by Mary K. Harris

tyoung199 — 29 Jan 2008 2:45:20 GMT

Does anyone know where the papers of Mary Kimbrough Harris are located? She was a Kimbrough researcher in Giles Co. and wrote some history of the Kimbrough family called "Birds of a Feather." Some of this was published in the Giles Co Historical Magazine starting about 1993. I am looking for Chapter X and beyond.
Also she had an old Bible or copies of a Bible of James Kimbrough and Nancy Turner. Does anyone know where a copy of the Bible can be found? Some years ago a photography studio in Pulaski supposedly had copies of this Bible. I believe it was Mitchell's Studio or something similiar. Has anyone heard of such a studio?

Appletons of Giles County

williewalters1 — 29 May 2008 1:38:44 GMT

I am trying to locate a cemetery at Veto in Giles County. My ancestors, the Appletons, are buried there, but I was unable to find it. My aunt was there in the 1950's but she couldn't remember exactly where in Veto it was. There is nothing but an abandoned store building and some houses there now. Does anyone know the name of this cemetery or whose land it is located on? Thanks

KashlynCov — 10 May 2008 4:43:06 GMT

Looking for info or possible leads, ANY thoughts welcomed:

Land Seals m.1879 Giles Co, TN to Kitty Jane Moore, dau of Elias Moore and Mary Polly Williams Moore. Found in 1880 Limestone Co, AL census listed as Land and Jane with son George age 2. 1910 Census shows Kitty a widow in Ellis Co, Texas. She remained there until her passing in 1946.

1870 Giles Co, TN Census shows Jane (Kitty Jane) with her siblings being cared for by a mulatto family Thomas Dismukes, wife Jane, son William (HH 134), but no parents (HH 135), Robert b.1857 NC, Jane b.1859 NC, Henry b.1863 NC, William b. 1867 NC, Samuel b.1868 NC. I have info on Robert W., Kitty Jane, Samuel( who appears to be my ggpa Thomas Barrett), James H, and Willis Field/Filmore. Still looking for any info on William and Henry.

Robert married 1880 in Limestone Co, AL to Carrie Peace. Youngest brother Willis b.1874 m.1889 in Limestone Co to Nora Harwell, Kitty married 1879 in Giles Co, and James H. b.1871 m. Anna Terry of Giles/Limestone Co, in 1901, Wise Co, TX. James Henry Moore b.1871 death cert states he was born in Marshall Co, TN.

1880 Census of this Moore family find them in Lauderdale Co, AL, with James and Willis b. after 1870 in AL. Jane is living in Limestone Co, and Henry is not in the household but could possibly be the Haywood Moore living as a hired hand nearby. A Haywood Moore married Henrietta Ada Terry in Giles Co, Oct 1880, sister to Anna Terry, and Henry Moore's are found marrying in Limestone Co, AL about this time too, so either is possible. This Moore family has not been found in the 1860 Census. It is believed they lived in Giles Co, TN about 1868 - 1871, moving to AL in 1871, found in Lauderdale Co, in 1880, moving to Limestone Co about 1880/1 and staying in the area until 1894, then migrating to Arkansas 1895-1898, then on to Fall, Wise and Ellis Co, Texas before 1900. They were very mobile and share croppers.

Willis Moore was known to have lived in Sheffield, Colbert Co, AL just over the county line from Lauderdale Co, between 1893-1895 as he had 2 son's born there.

1 Elias Moore (1820 - 1896) B: Bet. 1820–1831 in North Carolina, USA, M: Bet. November 1849–November 18, 1850 in Probably Moore Co, North Carolina, USA, D: Bet. 1896–1898 in Arkansas, USA

Robert Stephenson and Katherine Shields

tommy276 — 8 Apr 2008 4:30:52 GMT

I am searching for a Robert Stephenson b. 1793 in York Co,S.C., who is said to have married a Katherine Shields. A fellow Stephenson researcher claimed she had a Robert Stephenson b. 1793 who married a Katherine Shields. Robert Stephenson was in Giles Co,TN in 1814. His brother Samuel Stephenson married Mary Shields. Samuel Stephenson went to Limestone Co,Alabama by 1822 and I think Robert Stephenson followed them to Alabama. Robert Stephenson and his wife are said to have had a son William Jackson Stephenson b. Alabama. This William Jackson Stephenson went to McLean Co,IL. and was on the 1895 Census of Brookyln Township in Poweshiek Co,Iowa. The Shields Genforum has an Alexander Shields b.South Carolina and a Leander Shields b. TN living in the same places as this William Jackson Stephenson in IL. I find this interesting since Alexander and Leander are names found among the Shields in Giles Co,TN. I know that George Shields and Alexander Barron were living in Pendleton Co,SC in 1800. Robert Stephenson was a witness to a land transaction between George Shields,Alexander Barron Sr,and Alexander Barron Jr. in 1814. I think it is quite possible that Robert Stephenson did marry one of the Shields'girls.
On the 1895 census of Brooklyn,Township,Poweshiek Co,IA is William Stephenson,age 68,b.Ala. His wife Polly Perkins is also listed. They married in Illinois in 1850 and a William J. Stephenson purchased land in McLean Co,IL.in 1851.

Patrick (Roger) O'Neil 1870 census Giles Co.,TN

leonardwv — 3 Apr 2008 3:59:10 GMT

1870 census Pulaski, Giles Co.,TN
I see Patrick O'Neil 74, stone mason b. Ireland.

I believe this may be the Roger P. Neal of the 1860 census in Maysville, Mason Co.,KY. because at that census the occupation was also stone mason & the age correlates.

1850 census this Roger P. O'Neal was in Jennings Co.,IN with children: Patrick 19 b. Ireland, Johanna 15 b. Ireland, Norah 13 b. Ireland.

In the fall of 1850 in Jennings Co.IN Roger P. O'Neal m. Mary Lewis Simmons, a widow with youngest children being Sophronia & Henry Simmons. She is incorrectly listed with the surname of Timmons on the 1850 census.

I would like to know if Patrick O'Neil of the 1870 census was the same man of the other 2 mentioned census. Would like to know where & when he died, but mainly my interest is in his Simmons wife.

Any help appreciated...

Carlos Mason in Ardmore, Giles County, Tennessee

TracieMasonHolton — 22 Mar 2008 7:21:14 GMT

I’m looking for more information on my Great Uncle Carlos Mason. He is my paternal Grandfather, William Henry Mason, brother. I’m not sure where Uncle Carlos grew up; it could be Morgan County or Limestone County Alabama (or any place really; we don't know much).

I do know Uncle Carlos lived in Ardmore, Giles County, Tennessee with his wife Peggy. I don’t know Peggy’s maiden name. As a little girl we would visit them often on their small farm. Carlos and Peggy had 3 children Hoyt (or Hoytt), Terry, and Barbara. Uncle Carlos passed away in December 1980 and Peggy and the children may have passed away as well.

All information is greatly appreciated.

1878 County Map showing landowners

erwinwmj — 1 Nov 2007 8:36:07 GMT

In a book on Heritage Quest, I found a portion of an 1878 map of Giles County showing landowners (see attached) and giving the Tenn State Library & Archives as the source. The map was compiled by D.G. Beers & Co. The TSLA website says "Between 1871 and 1907, the Beers Co. of Philadelphia did a series of maps of Tennessee counties showing landowners' names and the approximate location of their farms. These maps are available for Bedford, Davidson, Gibson, Giles, Hamilton, Haywood, Knox, Madison, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery, Rutherford, Shelby, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties."

In reply to my email to TSLA (reference.tsla@state.tn.us), they responded: "The 1878 Beers map of Giles County is Map #1051 in our collection. It consists of six separate sections. The fee for reproduction of these sections is $5.00 per shot. The total fee would be $30.00. If you wish to order a copy, send a check or money order for that amount (payable to TSLA) and mail your request to Tennessee State Library and Archives, ATTN: Manuscripts Section, 403 Seventh Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37243-0312."

Less than a week after sending my check, I received the six 18"x24" sheets (i.e., the overall map is 3'x 6'). The repro quality is just fair but you can clearly read landowner names overlaid on the map showing roads, etc. of that era. It took a little bit of work with a topo map to get my bearings but the map(s) is a great resource.

I'll send a follow-up that describes each sheet by civil districts covered in case you want to purchase only the area where your ancestors lived. Jim

Cemetery Records - Giles County, Tennessee

casey8227 — 4 Feb 2008 8:14:01 GMT

I am looking for information on the North and Perry families who were living in Giles County, Tennessee in the 1840's - 1860. I believe that William North married a Lurana (alternate name: Lorana, Luvana, Lorena) Perry and they had two children together that I'm aware of --- William and Thomas. I'm trying to find out if Lurana Perry North may have died in Giles County, Tennesse and been buried there about 1860?

Thanks ahead of time for any help anyone can provide.

Giles County Cemetery records - Jimerson/Jamison

Pat_in_the_North — 10 Mar 2008 6:44:43 GMT

I have foundgreat-great-grandfather Wiley Jamison (later family used Jimerson) in Giles county -- in the Census records for 1840 and 1850, and on a 1836 tax register. He seems to have been born ca 1800 and he seems to have died after the Census of 1850 and before the 1860 census.

I'd like to know if and where he's buried in Giles Co. In 1836, he was in District 14. The 1850 Census has him in the 8th District. Are those points of help in locating a cemetery?

His wife was Elizabeth, and I have some reason to think possibly her maiden name was Hardison (Hardeson). Are there any here who are tracing either of those lines?

Moore, Asa & Rebecca - children

jimMoore60 — 1 Feb 2008 12:47:41 GMT

I visited Pulaski last fall for several days doing research on this family. It was disappointing that none of the children's or grandchildren's births or marriages for this family were recorded in the archives there eventhough it is clear from evidence this Moore clan resided in Giles continously from about 1809 until 1840, when all the births occured. I do have the spouse names and the birth dates, just no record documents.

It came to my attention while there that many of the important records for Giles County are being held in the private collections of the good local families still residing in the County.

If you are willing to help me with records of the births or marriages of the siblings of the Moores please contact me at:

Blythes

LaineeDentonJones — 8 Nov 2007 11:14:11 GMT

Am trying to find more info on the following Aaron Blythe living in Giles County in 1850:

1850 District 13 Giles County, Tennessee census

Aaron Blythe 29 1820 Tennessee Male District 13, Giles, TN
Nancey Blythe 29 1820 Tennessee Female District 13, Giles, TN
William C Blythe 8 1841 Tennessee Male District 13, Giles, TN
Nancey E Blythe 6 1843 Tennessee Female District 13, Giles, TN
Rebecca Ann Blythe 4 1845 Tennessee Female District 13, Giles, TN
James M Blythe 2 1847 Tennessee Male District 13, Giles, TN

In 1840,there is a William Blyth living in Giles County:

2220101000000|1001101000000

Since Aaron named his oldest son William, I am wondering if the William in 1840 could be Aaron's father and if anyone knows whether a will might exist for William since I haven't found him in 1850?

Between 1850 and 1860, Aaron and family moved to Howell County, Missouri where Rebecca (my 2nd greatgrandmother) married Jacob Denton between 1860 and 1864 when oldest child was born.

Aaron died before 1877 and Rebecca died after 1880 and before 1887 when Jacob remarried the Widow Parthena Young.

Thanks in advance for any and all help on this! :)

George White Rev War Soldier

joehardiman01 — 7 Nov 2007 3:48:34 GMT

George White b abt 1755 stated in his 1832 Rev War Pension request that he lives in Lauderdale County, AL, but was applying for his pension in Giles County, TN. George had lived in Giles County for 4 years 12 years earlier.

I have an acquaintance trying to join the DAR under George White. She is looking for proof or strong circumstantial evidence that John Franklin White b abt 1780 and/or David W White were sons of George White. Either connection to George White will complete her paperwork to join the DAR.

Thanks

Criswells and Horns

jiunger1 — 31 Oct 2007 1:57:58 GMT

I am doing family research on Margaret Criswell Horn Brown. I know she married a Mr. Horn about 1827 or 1828 in Lawrence Co., Giles Co.,TN or Lauderdale Co., AL area. They had a daughter Martha Ann, my ggg grandmother, in1829 born in AL and a son, George, also born in AL in 1831. Mr. Horn died around 1831-1832. We can not find the first name of Margaret Criswell Horn's husband. We do know for sure that Margaret's parents were Samuel Criswell and Patience Sealy Criswell who lived in Giles Co.,TN. Samuel Criswell died in 1824 and Patience died later. I believe Mr. Horn's parents were William Horn who died around 1814 or 1815 in Giles Co., TN and Nancy Horn who died in Lawrence Co., TN in 1833. Around 1834 Margaret Horn and her 2 children, Martha Ann and George, moved to IL to live with her brother. If anyone knows any information on these families or knows who this Mr. Horn was I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Old Bailey Graveyard

jsboat1 — 26 Oct 2007 3:25:18 GMT

I'm looking for a cemetery called "Old Bailey Graveyard". It is mentioned in the Pulaski Citizen of Dec. 2, 1897 as the resting place of at least four Boatrights. Two brothers and two sisters who were buried side by side. It may be located in the Yokely/Old Lynnville area as that is where they lived. A search of the Giles County cemetery book doesn't list a cemetery of this name nor list the deceased.

Wiley Jamison/Jimerson/and other variations

Pat_in_the_North — 22 Oct 2007 9:33:54 GMT

I'm trying to find a grand-father's grandfather, to wit: Wiley (Wili) Jamison, b ca 1800 in Virginia; migrated to Tennessee sometime prior to 1830; he is listed in the 1830 Census in Giles Co. He's on the 1836 tax roll (Dist. 14); he's listed in the 1840 and 1850 Censuses as well with his wife Elizabeth and three children (James, Mary, Martha and Elisha). However, he apparently died before 1860, as he's not listed in the Census with the rest of the family (nor is James). The family is in the Memphis area in 1860.

Is he buried in a Giles County cemetery (most likely so)? If so, where, and when did he die?

James is my great-great grandfather; he was married by 1860, with one child. Can't find him either.

Any tidbits of information would be most welcome and appreciated.

James G. Hubbell b.Feb 1860

kws99 — 26 Jun 2007 7:38:48 GMT

Searching for the parents of James. He, his wife Jessie, and their infant son Clarence were living in Dist. 12 of Giles Co. in 1880. I have been able to locate other Hubbell's in TN and in Giles Co., in particular, in 1870, but James is not among them. James later relocated to TX about 1899, but until then remained in TN.

Montgomery and Stephenson

tommy276 — 17 Oct 2007 6:37:34 GMT

Samuel Stephenson was born in York County,S.C. in 1797. Samuel's sister,Margaret married James Montgomery in York Co,S.C. in 1817. All these people migrated to Giles Co,TN before 1820. Samuel Stephenson had a son James H. Stephenson who appears on the 1860 census of Giles Co,TN:
1860 US Federal Census, Southern Subdivision, Giles Co, TN
429/411
James H Stephenson, 31, 1829, farmer, AL
Martha M Stephenson, 33, 1827, wife, AL
Mary A Stephenson, daughter, 4, 1856, AL
John W Stephenson, son, 3, 1857, AL
Martha D Stephenson, daughter, 1, 1859, TN
Amanda Montgomery, 27, 1833, AL (Note on census: Religion-Insane)
James H.Stephenson married Martha Manerva Montgomery in Limestone Co,Al in 1852. If the information is correct that I have there was a James G. Montgomery living in Limestone Co,Alabama in 1850 who was born in North Carolina in 1780. In his house was a Martha M. Montgomery,age 25,b.Alabama.
I don't believe this is the James Montgomery who married Margaret Stephenson in York Co,S.C.
James H. Stephenson and wife and James'brother Sylvester Brown Stephenson went from Giles Co,TN.to Ellis County,TX where they appear on census records of 1890 and 1900.
I am also interested in the marriage of a Joseph Montgomery to Mary Polly Brunson as I believe there is a connection to the Brunsons of Giles Co,TN.
If anyone has addition information on the Montgomerys of Limestone Co,Alabama it would be greatly appreciated.
