These are transcribed records,
so there could be mistakes in spelling.
Also depends on who submitted the record
for it to be a reliable source.
I don't know what records or how far back they recorded marriages if at all for each county.
you could write to genealogy society to see if they transcribed marriage records for williams county or any other county you know wm. jordan or nancy lived in.

Re: Hutchison's

sewsalot44 — 2009-06-18 19:27:46Z

I've been confused on this from the very start. Our family state that Jeremiah married Susan King but on Find a Grave, Susan is listed as Asbury's wife and she is buried in Tempy Hutchison's cemetery along with him, his wife and a baby Webster. Family members say that Susan and Jeremiah were divorced but I haven't found any information about that as yet.
I have a Jeremiah Hutchison married 13 Mar 1837 Cape Girardeau Co., MO to Elizabeth Penrod. I also have a Jeremiah married to Mary Jane Williams 7 Nov 1867 Davies, Co., MO.
In 1840 Casey, KY census, Jeremiah is also listed.
1900 Jasper Township, Ozark Co., Mo Susan is listed with her son, Templeton as:
110/111 Hutchison, T.J. Head May 1830 70 yrs. marr. 35 yrs.
Elizabeth wife Oct 1832 68 yrs. marr. 35 yrs.
Mohn, Edward servant
Ledbetter, Matilda servant
Hutchison, Susan mother (can't read the month) 1780 120 yrs. (which there is no way as she died according to her headstone in 1899).

I think there was more than one Jeremiah in this family, has to be with the amount of Jeremiah's that are coming up.

Hutchison's

sewsalot44 — 2009-06-18 03:49:21Z

Re: Hutchison's

Joyce1812va1 — 2009-06-18 19:04:29Z

Very confused now. On ancestry, someone has a family tree with Jerimiah Hutchinson but married to a Patsy Thacker.
Marriage is shown for 1810 in Pittsylvania Co. Va.

I know there is a 10 year difference, but what are the chances of two Jeremiah's getting married in the same area of Va?

What is confusing is that this Jeremiah is shown also being born in 1790 in Va.

I did find two census, 1810 and 1840 with a jeremiah Hutchinson. showing up in Loudon co va and Augusata co. va

Lewis R. Beckham born 1819 in VA

Lewis is found in 1830 at age 11 in Grainger Co. Tn with father Elijah.

Elijah Beckham is a junior... HIS father, Elijah sr. is found in the 1830 Culpepper Co. Va census.

in 1880 Grainger co. TN... Lewis R. Beckham is age 61
showing born in 1819 in Va. Occ: milwright. Is Widowed

the census shows that Amon 6, abnd Batchea 4 are listed as his sons. I am sure these boys were his grandsons.

Of course the one census that is needed is not avil. to see who the parents of Amon and Batchea belong to.

No census are found with Lewis R. and wife.

Sorry to not be able to find much more.

Marriage Record Look Up

Risikio — 2009-05-29 02:48:38Z

Seeking marriage record for James M. Hume and Eliza Kitts married 10 October 1840. James was appoximately 18 years old. Eliza' may have been married before. Some sources list her as Eliza Warrick Kitts. I am hoping the marriage record lists James' parents.

Thank you for any assistance.

Re: Beckham's & Greenlees in Grainger County, TN

LewisSBeckham — 2009-06-29 16:16:53Z

Thanks for the reply.
Lewis did not get married until he was 50 years old. He married a much younger Martha Brabston. They had three children, Amon (known as Bud), Batchea (known as Batch) and Susie. Martha and Susie died shortly after Susie was born. They are all buried in the Beckham family cemetery.
Lewis was a millwright and Martha's father was a "master smith". They probably worked together. I still have some of Lewis's tools. My first cousin has a copy of Lewis's diary that he kept after becoming a single father, but I have not seen it. My father spent a lot of time with Bud, his grandfather.
Are you sure about Elijah Junior & Senior? My information is that Elijah was the son of James. He and his wife, Jane, moved to Grainger county in the early 1820's. James and two of his brothers were in the Revolutionary war. They received land in Tennessee. I have a copy of James' pension application.
In the 1850 census there is a Preston Beckham. Circumstantial evidence suggests that he and his wife were freed by Elijah because of the names of their children. Elijah and Jane were still alive for the 1860 census.
Where did you get the information about Lewis being in Granger county in 1930? Is it on the Census form?

Shields Private Cemetery reinterrments

Hello, can anyone tell me where the Shields Private Cemetery is located? Is this the same as the Shields Cemetery as I know that location.
I have an ancestors (PASCHALs' and possibly HUGHES) who are now buried in the Holston Church Cemetery, according to "Grainger County, TN, Cemetery Records Vol. II". It also notes that they were removed from the Shields Private Cemetery and reinterred at Holston and there are also 164 unknown graves.
Why were the remaines moved? Is there now any information on the 164 unknown graves? Is the Shields Private Cemetery the same as the Shields Cemetery?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
