Would it be possible to have you look up John Thomas Hill and see if he died in Greene Cty around 1858 or 59 or so?

Thanks

Re: Robt. Rodgers, wife Sarah "Sadie" Young, early 1900's

adammiller6 — 2009-07-02 14:28:31Z

Thank you for getting back with me. I am afraid that I can't be of much help. I was hoping that you would be. The only things I know for sure is Robert Rogers was not a white man, possibly black, but most likely an Indian/black mix. I do not know anything about Sadie Young. Grandma always told us that she was born in Tennessee, but I don't know what county or town.

Grandpa's (Charles Beckham Finn) family was supposed to have been from Kentucky, but again I don't know what county or town. Years ago when doing some research at the library at IU, there was some information that came up with Grandpa's birthdate, but the name was Clarence Vernon (Jack) Finn. Charles was not mentioned. Clarence did have a sister named Mary Elizabeth, which Grandma always said Minnie's sister Mary was named after.

As far as I know, there were no papers found in Grandma's things after her death.

Thank you again.

Adam,
Glad to finally hear from someone about the Finn & Rogers family. I grew up in Ellettsville & Beulah's daughter Minnie was in my grade & high school class & several years while in the Indiana Room at the Bloomington Public Library, Minnie's older sister (Delores?) came in trying to find some family history & as I had a lot more experience in doing genealogy, I told her I would try to help & through the years when I've seen her, have asked if she had found any new info. yet, & last time I seen her at her mother's funeral visitation at the House of Prayer, she had not. She said her mother was very secretive about her past the kids did not know practically anything about her or her husband's backgrounds, so I told Delores that when the kids went through Beulah's papers afterwards, that maybe they would find some info., but I haven't seen Delores since then, so I don't know if they did or not. Do you know?
I know when I looked at the early census records, I could not find anything about Beulah's or her husband's families either, as most people are listed in the census records.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.
Don Matson

Thanks so much for taking the time to search for information concerning Reuben Hays. Interesting that one of Reuben's son's was named William.....hmmm. I'll have to spend some time looking into the William you found. Mary moved to IL with her second husband, so she would not be buried in Greene Co. TN. Thanks again.

Eliza Broyles married Loyd Ford

pmoorep — 2009-06-28 18:07:15Z

I believe you may be working on the same line of Broyles that I am working on. The surnames Hipp and Ford come into it. William A. and Eliza Broyles daughter Eliza married a Loyd Ford. William A. Broyles and family are found in 1860 in Troy, Ms. county Arkansas. I cannot seem to find much at all of Loyd Ford and was hoping you may know something.
Please email me if possible.
Much thanks for any reply.

I am looking for descendants of Henry Cloyd Kent and John W Kent, both sons of Marcus Kent and wife, Martha Jane Connel.

Henry Cloyd was born April 1, 1886; d. Feb 1963. He m. Sarah Grace Bible in 1907 and had children: Wm Henry b Ap 1919 and Martha E b. May 1926. I think he is the Wm Henry who married Blanche Reed in 1940 but not proven.

John W was born Ap 12, 1875; d. Jan 7, 1927 I cannot find anything else on him. There is no wife buried next to him so I am not even sure if he married.

David A Taylor's long lost son Samuel D Taylor

JRTaylor555 — 2009-06-22 19:16:29Z

Hello,
I'm looking for an individual named Samuel D. Taylor born July 1867 or 1868. I've actually found him all over Jonesborough TN with his wife Bettie and 13 children. However, I can't find his father or at least documentation of his father. A very helpful person told that his dad is David A Taylor b. 1830 from Greene County. The person who gave me the information said it came from someone in the family who knew Adnrew, David A Taylor's son, had a brother named Samuel. However, there's nothing in the censuses I can find to link these people together. Does anyone have any information linking Samuel D Taylor as David A Taylor's son? Thanks so very much!

Hi All,
I am going to Mooresville, North Carolina tomorrow for a few days. Now that I have located the graves of my grand parents, Minnie Okey Cash Mitchell b:1874 and John Henry Mitchell B:abt 1868, both from Greene, Tennessee. I am making a trip to visit their unmarked graves and purchase a tomb stone for them. I had a nice man at the Mooresville Public Library get obituaries for me and my niece in South Carolina got the others. I'm sorry to say that John and Minnies obituaries did not list names of siblings. I will probably go to Greeneville, Tennessee in the near future to research for their marriage licence and try to obtain obituaries of Cash people I believe might be relatives. I will be happy to share what ever I come up with. Larkin, you might want to search for the name Byron Cash, as I saw one living in Greene, TN while looking last night.
My Best Regards,
Katherine Willis

Thank you for your hard work on this confusing family line. Henry Reynolds was my 5g Grandfather. I'm a descendant from his first child, Elizabeth, who married William Grubbs on Feb. 11, 1808 in Greene County, TN. I have a tintype of their fourth child, William Grubbs II.

I guess I don't have any new info. to share, but just wanted to let you know the mysterious first wife "Mary" is just as important as the other two that we know more about! Do you know where you found Mary's name and birth date?

Thanks again for sharing your research.

War of 1812 Roster - Ewen Allison's Regiment

RobertaEstes13 — 2009-05-25 00:48:10Z

In honor of our ancestors who served in the various wars and conflicts throughout the history of our nation, I ordered and am posting the roster of Colonel Ewen Allison's regiment who served in the War of 1812. I believe this group of men was primarily from Washington County, Tn.. I believe this for two reasons. On the front of the roster list, partially covered by tape, is information about the group. I can see two groups of words. One includes the word Washington. The second says "130 miles from Knoxville". Using google maps, I find that Bristol Tn. is about 130 miles from Knoxville, today. I am particularly interested in the man, Joel Cook, which is why I ordered the roster, but I also recognize the names Allison, Campbell, Tipton and Sevier as other names from Washington County.

I'm hopeful that you folks will also recognize some of the names and can elaborate on these men and their families. I hope one of your ancestors is indeed here…..waiting for you to find them as we honor them on Memorial Day.

These men were commanded by Captain Adam Winsel from Jan. 10, 1814 to May 18, 1814. Everyone's term was initially for 6 months, but as a unit they only had to serve 4 months and 22 days. Their pay was $8 per month for privates, $10 for corporal, $11 for sergeants, $8 and $20 for ensign, $25 for 2nd Lt, 30 for 1st Lt, and $40 for the Captain.

A few of the remarks give us a little information about where they were. It appears that the unit was mustered in Washington County and arrived in Knoxville when their official muster date was established on January 10th. Apparently a few of them had second thoughts, as two are shown as deserters of January 9th, the day before the unit was officially sanctioned.

Thomas Kanon at the Tennessee State Library tells us this about Allison's unit:

COLONEL EWEN ALLISON

DESIGNATION: 1st Regiment of East Tennessee Militia
DATES: January 1814 - May 1814
MEN MOSTLY FROM: Greene, Sullivan, Washington, Carter, and Hawkins Counties
CAPTAINS: Joseph Everett, John Hampton, Jacob Hoyal, William King, Jonas Loughmiller, Henry McCray, Thomas Wilson, Adam Winsell
BRIEF HISTORY:
This regiment was also designated as the First Regiment of East Tennessee Drafted Militia. The unit was part of General George Doherty's brigade, along with Colonel Samuel Bunch's Second Regiment. Doherty's brigade participated in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (27 March 1814) where they were part of the right line of attack on the Creek fortifications. There were casualties in many of the companies, especially in those of Captains Everett, King, Loughmiller, and Winsell. The Nashville Clarion of 10 May 1814 has a complete listing of the dead and wounded from this climactic battle of the Creek War.

The principal rendezvous point for this regiment was Knoxville. From there they traveled to Ross' Landing (present-day Chattanooga), to Fort Armstrong, Fort Deposit, Fort Strother, Fort Williams, to Horseshoe Bend, and back by the reverse route. Captain Hampton's company was ordered to man Fort Armstrong in mid-March 1814. Arms were scarce in this unit and rifles often had to be impressed from the civilian population along the line of march. (End of Thomas Kanon's info.)

This unit served at both Fort Williams and Fort Strother, but the remarks don't tell us if they were indeed at the other locations mentioned by Thomas above. Fort Williams was a supply depot for the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, built in early 1814. It is near the intersection of Cedar Creek and the Coosa River, now underwater, near Talladega Springs, Alabama. Fort Strother was a rendevous point for troops in the war, built by Jackson for his forward campaign, and became the center of his operations.

There must have been something that happened on March the 4th. Maybe they were leaving for the south and several men decided not to go along. It was the beginning of spring planting season, and perhaps the men knew their families would suffer if they were not home to plant the crops, and maybe there was no one to help their families without them. We'll never know why, but most of those who deserted did so on this date, with one two days later, who may have decided to stay, had regrets, and then joined the other deserters on his way home. The reason I think this may be the case is that those who were discharged for inability were discharged on March the 6th. Those men would have been sent home before the rest of the group started their long march south. Indeed, this unit probably left shortly thereafter and marched on foot, as most had no horses, from Knoxville to Talladega, Alabama by April 27th., a distance of 245 miles. Most people can travel about 20 miles a day on foot, on a good day, in terrain that is not terribly difficult. This would have taken at least 12 days, if not longer. Of course, this also assumes that the troops had enough food to sustain their energy, which was not always true. Many of the men in the War of 1812 from Tennessee died of illness and starvation. Of course, a lack of food would make the men more susceptible to illness. However, none of the men in this unit are noted as having died or been killed, a very unusual situation as compared to other units serving in the same area in this war, also from Tn., who lost many men. This unit likely never saw combat.

By May the 2nd, they were in Fort Strother, not far removed, about 61miles away, another 3 days march. http://alabama.hometownlocator.com/maps/feature-map,ftc,3,fi..., http://www.lat-long.com/Latitude-Longitude-1681011-Alabama-F... For those interested, these links are to maps of the locations of these forts, or near these forts.

What they did and where they were beween these dates we can only discover from the men's pension applications. Not every man (or his widow) would live until 1832 when they could apply for a pension, but those who did would have given valuable informaition in their applications which will flesh out the locations and activities of this service unit.

Here's the roster. Unfortunately, this roster and pay documentation (there are two documents I'm working from) do not include some of the information that other units included, such as height, weight, hair and eye color, or the county from which they enlisted. But still it's a glimpse at these men who may have been our ancestors or who were the neighbors and family of our ancestors in a time of war that affected all families.

Enjoy.

Roberta Estes

I saw your posting about William Cash and he is the son of one of the Guthries who are in my family. Can you contact me at hsabin1@yahoo.com and give me more information?

My great grandmother was Martha Guthrie daughter of William and Clementine Guthrie and she married John Hill. I think in the family lineup she was called Nancy Guthrie - still checking that out.

What interested me was the mention of your American Indian connection - my grandfather Wade Hill looked Cherokee - long thick dark hair even at death, high cheekbones, swarthy skin - and family rumor had it one of us was from an Indian line. Can you provide me information? I know Larkin who is a cousin (recently found through genealogy research) also contacted you. Thanks for your help.

Thomas DOAN & Anna BEWLEY, b. 1750s

kalkowski1 — 2009-05-26 01:59:00Z

I am looking for the parents or any family members of Anna BEWLEY. I usually see her name as Anna BAWLEY in genealogy pages on the web, but I think it is probably BEWLEY. Anna was born about 1756 and married Thomas DOAN. Thomas DOAN's father John DOAN was born in Bucks Co., PA (where there are other BEWLEYs), removed to Cane Creek MM in North Carolina where he died. At some point before 1744 the DOANs went from Bucks Co., PA to Cane Creek MM. Thomas DOAN was born about 1753 at Cane Creek, NC and died in Greene Co., TN. I see there are lots of BEWLEYs in Greene Co., TN but I don't see any references to Ann or Anna. I know there was an Anna KIMBLE who married a John BEWLEY, but she would have been 14 years older than Thomas DOAN. Not an impossible marriage but the daughter I am related to was born in 1779, making Anna KIMBLE DOAN in her 50s at that time. Does anyone have more info about Thomas DOAN & Anna BEWLEY?
Thanks,
Laura

John married 2nd Susannah Tate in 1808 Greene Co., Tn so Matilda must have died soon after marriage

I know they were all in Greene Co before they moved to Missouri. David stayed in Greene and Washington counties, John left and returned, Ann and Emanuel stayed in or near Moniteau Co, Missouri.
They were bondsmen for each other in marriages, gave depositions acknowledging information about one another, and everything says they were related, but cannot find proof. Anyone have any information which might help?

Re: Relatives&Connections to David Rankin Greenvile TN

csato1 — 2009-05-18 22:43:50Z

I am glad someone has sorted out the two Judge David Rankins. "My" David Rankin [1776-1853] is Judge David Rankin who came from Montgomery Twp., Franklin Co., PA, died in Des Moines Co., IA and married Frances Campbell, dau. of Dougal Campbell and Martha Johnston/Johnston.

The other Judge David Rankin may or may not be a distant relative. He is the Judge David Rankin of Green Co., TN, apparently roughly the same age as "my" Judge David Rankin and apparently married to Ann Campbell. One can see why they might be confused with each other.

Judge David Rankin of Des Moines Co., IA was the son of William Rankin (son of Adam Rankin b. 1688) and Mary Huston/Houston, dau. of Archibald Huston and Agnes ?. This is shown in the names of "my" David Rankin's children:

Betsey
Martha C. [Martha Campbell for maternal grandmother]
William [for paternal grandfather]
Mary H. [Mary Houston for paternal grandmother]
Dougal Campbell [for maternal grandfather]
Frances C. [Frances Campbell for mother]
David Houston [Houston for paternal grandmother's maiden name]
Archibald [for paternal grandfather Archibald Houston]
Adam John [common names in this line]

I am not actually related to any Rankin directly but five of Judge David Rankin of PA & IA's children married Blairs, Waddles & Grays (who were also Blair descendants) and descendants of Fullenwiders who also married Blairs. I am researching Blairs and Fullenwiders.

I have a lot of ancestors who are buried in the Greene county area but unfortunately when I try to find the cemeteries that they are buried in, I come up nil. So, I've started a map on Google in order to identify cemeteries that have previously not been marked on Google maps so everyone can find them more easily. If anyone knows of cemeteries that can't be found on Google maps and would like to add them, please send me your e-mail and I will add you as a collaborator for my map. In this way, I hope to have as many cemeteries and burial sites marked as possible for everyone's use. Thanks.

The cool thing about Google maps is that they will also let you add pictures of the area. So if you have a lot of pics of historical sites around the area, including the entrances to cemeteries, you can mark that spot on the map along with the picture.

Re: John and Joseph Walker of early Greene Co., TN

jorambow1 — 2009-05-01 04:18:49Z

Thank you all for the information. Every bit helps.

I'm trying to figure out who were the parents of Elizabeth Walker who married John Lester Jr in 1802, Greene Co., TN. Elizabeth was born 1782 in VA. She and her husband moved to KY, then Sullivan Co., IN by 1817. She lived to the age of 91 years, and was buried in her wedding dress made from flax that she grew herself in TN.

Re: Revolutionary veteran John Walker

jorambow1 — 2009-04-29 23:47:49Z

Sorry. I was away from my data. John was referred to as a juror in VA.

There was also a Joseph Walker who signed John's will 1796 in Greene Co., TN. Does anyone have information on Joseph Walker?

Revolutionary veteran John Walker

jorambow1 — 2009-04-25 00:43:13Z

It seems that the first Walker family in Greene County, TN was that of Judge John Walker who moved from VA to TN in the late 1700s, with his wife Mary Anderson and several children. In his will he listed the names of his sons, but not his daughters. Does anyone know the names of his daughters? I know one married Michael Blew.

Re: John Lester and Elizabeth Walker of early Greene Co., TN

jorambow1 — 2009-05-02 00:08:54Z

Elizabeth Walker and John Lester married in 1802, and had daughter Nancy born in 1804, then sons Joseph, Thomas, and Robert Henderson Lester, all in Greene Co, TN. They had son Harvey and daughter Susan born in KY, then Mary Ann, James Madison, and John Franklin born in IN.

I wondered if Mary Ann might have been named after Mary Anderson, John Walker's wife, implying they were Elizabeth's parents. But I don't want to jump to conclusions. I know there was a Robert Henderson in early Greene Co, but I don't know his relationship to John Lester and Elizabeth Walker.

My John Lester Jr seems to be the oldest son of the William Lester who died 1791 in Greene Co, TN. His wife was called Jean in the will, and has been said to be Jean/Jane Mebane. The will divided land three ways, leaving 1/3 each to wife Jean and son John. In the 1797 tax record, Jane, "John Lester Jr", and his brother William are each listed with 1/3 of the land. The marriage record in 1802 calls him "John Lester Jr", so I think he's the one in the will. Also, he moved to Sullivan Co, IN with Charles Magill, who married the Elizabeth Lester listed in the will as John's sister.

Do you have the ancestry for Abraham Lester, who married Jane Evens Magill? I've wondered how he was related to my Lester family.

Re: Benjamin Goodin Info

blric1 — 2009-04-13 04:40:50Z

Edith: I am eager to find out if you are a descendant of Benjamin Goodwin/Goodin, Jr., the son of Sgt. Benjamin Goodwin/Goodin who was born in Baltimore County, Maryland in 1755, and who moved down into Greene County, Tennessee. My research reflects that he acquired quite a bit of land in the Greeneville, TN area and had a good many children. Some remained in TN but after Sgt. Benj. Goodwin/Goodin's wife, Hiley or Dorthea (I believe the name is Hiley) died, Sgt. Benj. Goodwin/Goodin left Greene County, TN as he had acquired land in the Mississippi Territory that was still owned and under the Spanish Jurisdiction (Spanish West Florida land). Records reveal he move there and after this land was obtained by America, the land he he got from the Spanish fell into what later was Jackson County, Mississippi. My research reflects that he brought two sons, Allan and Benjamin, Jr. and a small daughter, Sarah with him to Mississippi. I was told but I have no records to substantiate this, that a son Thomas also came. Sgt. Benjamin Goodwin/Goodin's statement to a Judge, under Oath, when he is attempting to get a Revolutionary War Pension gives info on Benjamin and Allan as his sons and gives their ages. However, his final pension payment was paid to him while he was living with a daughter, Sarah. All this info is consistent with census records.

I am out of Sgt. Benj. Goodwin through one of his sons. either Allan or Benjamin (unsure) who lived in Mississippi, thru a son, Benjamin Jackson "Archibald" Goodwin who received land in Lawrence County, Miss., but when the Civil War was raging, he and his family left Mississippi and moved near relatives in upper part of Louisiana, but soon moved into San Augustine County, TX where they received land. "Archibald's son, Benjamin Franklin Goodwin was my maternal grandfather.

I would like to correspond with you so I would at least know if we are indeed from the same family. I do know from records that the name Benjamin was brought to this country from Ireland (they were Scotch Irish, who were basically Lowland Scots who were placed in Ireland to see if they would assimilate and with the staunch Irish Catholics to see if they would help convert them to Protestantism as the Scots were stanch Presbyterians. Both were stubborn and staunch in their beliefs and neither converted). But the name Benjamin came on down into my cousins, and the name Allan also can down. In fact, I have a cousin named Benjamin Allan Goodwin.
The name was Goodwin in the early settlers in Baltimore County, Maryland (I have those records), and as they moved on down into the back country, and with the accent of the people, the name soon became GOODIN/GOODEN....yet the name on records in Mississippi, the name is Goodwin and also on the land records in Lawrence County, Mississippi. The Revolutionary War Records reflects the name as being Goodwin.
Let me hear from you.

Jack Hayes would be my GGG grandfather. Sarah Rowe moved to the Magoffin co. Ky area with no mention of Jack. Has been said that Jack was married and Sarah had all 5 children by him. looking for census with sarah Rowe and chlldren with her, as well as Jack in Tenn.

Re: Jacob Smith & Nancy J Bennett in Graysburgh community Greene Co. TN 1857-1866

nant6 — 2009-03-18 19:52:19Z

The cemetery that is closest to Graysburg is more than likely Liberty Hill. It is on Graysburg Hills Road behind the Graysburg Hills Golf course. It is beside Liberty Hill United Methodist Church.

Re: Union Temple Cemetery Decoration/Memorial Day, Sunday, June 13, 2004

nant6 — 2009-03-16 19:25:33Z

Be happy to. Union Temple cemetery is beside Union Temple United Methodist Church on Kingsport Highway or state route 93. If you are coming from Greeneville you go a little over 9 miles on Kingsport Highway. The cemetery and church are on the right. If you get to the Union Temple Community Center you need to turn around and it will be the first cemetery on your left.

If you are coming from I81 you need to take the Jearoldstown exit (exit 44), at the bottom of the ramp go to the left you will be on Jearoldstown Road. Then you take the third road to the left (Smith Mill Rd). Stay on it until you come to a fork in the road go right. This will bring you to the Kingsport HIghway (state route 93), turn left onto 93. I am not sure how many miles it is but you will see the Greysburg Hills golf course on your left. Continue on 93. The cemetery and church will be on your left just past the Union Temple Community Center (which is on the right.) I believe you pass two roads on the left after the golf course cutoff.

You can also go straight onto West Pines road instead of taking Smith Mill road. Follow West Pines road until you come to the Kingsport Highway at the union temple community center and then turn right and you will see the cemetery on the left. However West Pines road is very curvy and there are many roads that run into and you can lose your way if you are not careful.

Are you totally confused now? At least that will give you something to go by if you have a map. Hope this has been some help.

Re: Union Temple Cemetery Decoration/Memorial Day, Sunday, June 13, 2004

nant6 — 2009-03-16 22:49:52Z

You are quite welcome. There are several of the cemeteries in Greene County that aren't on any map.

Just thought I would let you know that the White/Evans/Wedding/etc reunion is usually on the same day as the decoration. It is held at the Union Temple community center just below the cemetery.

I went through the cemetery last year and located and photographed some of my family grave markers. I had a great escort in one of my cousins. She lives behind the cemetery.

Glad I could help. If I can be of more help just let me know.

Re: Jacob Smith & Nancy J Bennett in Graysburgh community Greene Co. TN 1857-1866

You may be looking for Liberty Hill Cemetery which is next to Liberty Hill United Methodist church. You turn off 93 at the Greysburg Hill Golf Course and it is at the end of that road.

I have a John W. Robbins married to Delphy/Delphia/Tabitha Greene. She is the youngest daughter of Noah and Millie Greene. Please contact me and we can swap information. I've been trying to find her family as Noah and Millie were last living with them in 1870 in Greene County. I have a copy of John's and Delphia's marriage certificate.

You are one of the first people I've read who knows Riley H. Lamb was 1st married to Elizabeth Varner. I am trying to confirm that one of his 3 children by her was my gr-grandmother, Molissie C. Lamb (per spelling on her gravestone in Grainger County). Do you know anything much about Elizabeth Varner? Did she remarry? Where is she buried? And---the biggie---do you know that their 3rd child was my gr-grandmother "Molissie?" Thanks for your time.

BERRY Family of Greene County, Tennessee

DTharpTX — 2009-03-30 03:19:03Z

I am interested in information on the below referenced Berry family of Green County, Tennessee.

In particular, I'm interested in the family noted below, and in the referenced documentation.

Someone sent this to me and I'm pasting it in this e-mail as it was sent to me.

"When W. Hugh Berry died, his wife Elizabeth Berry was appointed guardian for her own children towit; John Berry, Robert, Jane, Hugh, James, Sarah, Eliz.,,and enters into bond herself w/Alex Outlaw Esq, her security in the sum of 300 lbs for the faithful discharge of her said guardianship I found this in GREEN COUNTY, TN MINUTES OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, 1783-1795.
On the following page Hugh Berry, orphan of W. Hugh Berry, decd,to be bound to Samuel Jack until the said orphan attains the age of 21` yrs to learn the saddler trade Said orphan now of the age of 11 yrs Nov next. Found this info in Green Co, TN, records below.
Hugh Berry later joined the service and wound up getting land for that in Alabama."

Can anyone verify and/or expand on this family's information?

I have a web site at http://www.tharpgenealogy.com if anyone is interested. No Log-in is required. If my information is correct, I am the 4th great-grandson of Hugh Berry, the orphaned son of W Hugh Berry, and who was bound over to Samuel Jack (who married Marry Berry). W Hugh Berry's wife was Elizabeth and may have had the maiden name of Bunyon/Bunyan. And the "W" in Hugh's name may have been for Wilson.

Re: Harvey Simpson

paulson141 — 2009-04-09 12:47:57Z

I am a descendent of Harvey Dennis of Greene County Tenn. I think that Eliza was a daughter of his brother Joshua and his wife Olive Blair. It seems that after Joshua died Olive and her daughter Eliza both married Simpsons? Harvey also had a daugher named Eliza. They also had a sister Mary who married John Rhea. Does this match your info. I would love to have any other information about Eliza. Thank you Sherri

Wilson or Blair family info wanted

paulson141 — 2009-05-04 21:37:54Z

I am looking for any ideas about the parents of Catherine Blair who married Harvey Dennis in 1823 in Greene County. New information I have indicates that Catherine Blair and her sister Olive Blair were previously Wilsons. (They both married Dennis brothers.) There is a record that they were natives of Virginia. New info indicates that mother was Catherine Wilson who marries William Blair in Greene County in 1819. I have found court records linking Catherine Wilson and William Blair earlier in 1812 in Greene County. Very confusing. So did the sisters have a birth father named Wilson who died and they later changed their name to Blair or were Catherine Wilson and William Blair the birth parents and just not married? I thought there might be someone out there with Blair or Wilson info. Thanks.

I have a list of Malinda's siblings -- based on a record in a book on Chancery Court minutes in Greene Co., TN. One of them is my ancestor Elizabeth Phillips who married Solomon Collett. The Court document is for a William Brandon vs Royal Phillips et al Heirs of John Phillips dec'd. For the June Term 1849 referring apparently to a judgment of 20 Apr 1844 listing all the heirs of John Phillips: Royal Phillips, Wm. Tadlock & his wife Mary formerly Phillips, Michael Morelock and wife Malinda formerly Phillips, Eliza Phillips, Solomon Collett & wife Elizabeth formerly Phillips, Patience Phillips and Amanda Jane Phillips.

Interesting, NO?

I've just gotten this info and am trying to go further back. So many Royals, Johns, and Elizabeths. So little time!

I did a book on the Lambs. I have 9 children for Elizabeth Varner and Riley. I was told that Riley came home from the war and she was in love with someone else . He took off and went to Sylva, NC and then to Georgia. I do not know what happened to her after that. I do not know if this is a terue story or not. It could be a fabrication.

Re: John and Joseph Walker of early Greene Co., TN

PattiGoodwin — 2009-05-01 11:40:43Z

Some Walkers migrated to Jefferson Co., TN & some to Blount Co., TN. What where the names of John & Elizabeth's children. A clue maybe found in a naming pattern. Was John an older b/o Abraham, Elizabeth & Margaret?
I believe my ancestors migrated with the Magill's & Walkers from VA to TN same time frame[trying to locate info]. Back then families migrated together since it was extremely dangerous and took several months. They traveled carrying their possessions, with their young children & taking wagons where impossible to manuver on the pathways. Many individuals are not aware that the Indians followed the trails of the animals and the white man followed the Indian trails, there where no roads back then. There was also the threat of numerous animals [panthers, bears, wolves, snakes & etc.] to contend with besides the Indians. They also had to forge for food and forge rivers & streams. I reside in E.TN and have traveled all over the area and up into VA, I've seen how bad the rivers can swell after a rain and how they use to wash out bridges around here. Through my research I have gained a greater respect for them & their desire to have a homestead and better life.

Re: Revolutionary veteran John Walker

PattiGoodwin — 2009-05-01 02:29:25Z

John Walker IV b. Abt. 1734 Chester Co., PA migrated with his parents & siblings to Rockbridge Co., VA where his parents died. He had 12 siblings and some migrated to KY and others onto TN. He did have a brother Joseph Walker b. 1736 & it was my understnading he married a Magill. I don't have a 1st name but very possible a 1st marriage. John Walker Sr. was born in Scotland. I've been reseaching them a little since they intermarried with one of my branchs, but they are a difficult line to follow since they have used the same naming pattern throughout several generations.
Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply. Yes you had my line correctly. Henry had a son, Thomas Hundley Sevier, my 2nd Great Grandfather who had a son, Ulysses Bolden Sevier my Great Grandfather. He had a daughter, Ora Belle Sevier, my Grandmother. I am always looking for living people in my line. So far haven't found any. Ora Belle died when I was a baby in 1953 so I never knew her. She was my father's mother. He died in 1992 and I do not think he knew who his ancestors were. Now there is no one on his side of the family alive to get any information from. Well thanks again.

Re: John and Joseph Walker of early Greene Co., TN

VICKIE7293 — 2009-05-01 13:42:09Z

The Wigton-Walker group and members of the WalkerShortlist-both include outstanding Walker researchers now dismiss John Walker (Meadow Creek John Walker as they refer to him) as John Walker IV. DNA evidence rules him out as John Walker IV. They now believe that Indian Killer John Walker of Blount Co was in fact John Walker IV-DNA evidence supports this. You'll find many references to Meadow Creek John Walker being John Walker IV-but this is information that hasn't been subsequently updated according to the DNA facts.

Re: John and Joseph Walker of early Greene Co., TN

VICKIE7293 — 2009-05-01 13:41:41Z

Joseph Walker was a witness to the will of John Walker; but was not listed in the will itself; leading most to believe he was not the son of John & Mary Walker. There were other early Walkers in Greene Co TN he may have been connected to. There is no proof that he was the s/o John & Mary Walker. He was the son-in-law of Charles Kilgore but evidence suggests that Elizabeth Black may have been a first wife-the name Kilgore is written in pencil on the marriage record but her name is listed as Elizabeth Black. In addition, while we don't know exactly when the d/o Charles Walker was born-her placement in the family suggests she would have been a minor had she married in 1797.

Re: Revolutionary veteran John Walker

VICKIE7293 — 2009-04-30 12:23:34Z

Joseph Walker who witnessed the will of John Walker hasn't been determined. It's speculated that he was a nephew of John but that's not proved. It's believed he was the son-in-law of Charles Kilgore who was a co-executor of John Walker's will. This Joseph Walker seems to have moved out of the county by the time Charles Kilgore wrote his will in 1822; but no one's been able to determine where.

Re: Revolutionary veteran John Walker

VICKIE7293 — 2009-04-25 13:00:44Z

Why do you have John Walker died 1796 Greene Co TN listed as a Judge? He was never referred to as a Judge in Greene Co TN.

Re: Brotherton Cemetery--Romeo,TN.

palaliam — 2009-03-29 23:28:57Z

Must be a family cemetary. my grandmothers maiden name was Brotherton. There are several cemetaries around Romeo and there are quit a few Brothertons buried in Price cemetary which is within 4 miles of Romeo. My grandfather is buried in Price cemetary but grandma is not.

Re: Romeo,TN.

palaliam — 2009-03-28 23:24:07Z

Romeo is aprox 18 miles southeast of Rogersville, Tn cant remember the exit on interstate 81 that runs north and south. State route 70 GOES THROUGH Romeo not really a town but there is a church/school there. My father was born near there just east of the church aprox 3 miles near a Y in the road. If you head north to Rogersville from Romeo will come to that Y in the road if you take the left fork it will take you to Rogersville if you take the right fork aprox 2.5 mile it will go by the Price Cemetary on the right side of the road. My paternal grandfather Carl C. Smith is buried in Price Cemetary. Great way to find Romeo is to google map of Rogersville, Tn just below and to the rt of rogersville you will see Romeo. But you will certainly not find Romeo on your GPS and most likely not find Romeo on a map. Best way is to get on I81 and take exit for route 70 towards Rogersville. ONCE YOU GET OFF I81 DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES UNTIL YOU SEE THE ROMEO CHURCH/SCHOOL OR YOU YOU MIGHT MISS ROMEO ALL TOGETHER. GOOD LUCK AND EMAIL ME IF YOU NEED TO.

Would appreciate any info about this Family as I never knew any of them except Dad's Aunt Kate. Haven't found anything on the other girls after they came to Texas.

Re: Weltys in Greene Co.TN

sandraingram45 — 2009-03-28 00:34:13Z

Have just gotten back to researching my Dads Mothers family and was getting nowhere . Decided to look on here for the first time in a while. Dads Mother was Ollie Jane Welty--3rd daughter of Elbert Casper and Amanda Emiline Riley Welty.I realize this is several yrs after your inquiry.
The Weltys came into Arkansas and that is where all their Girls were born escept for the older. I haven't found anything about the other Girls after getting to Texas tho. They were never mentioned by Dad.The only ones I ever knew were Kate and bearly Ollie Jane and knew of Elbert Jr. They came to Erath, Brown and Eastland County. Elbert and Mandy both died in Jones Co in the 1920's Ollie Jane and George Andrew Kendrick married in Brown Co Tx in 1890 and Kate and Gib Vinson married in 1894 in Erath Co. I was so young when G'mother Ollie Jane died that I bearly remember her. Kate died in Jones Co in the 1960's. If you have found anything farther I would appreciate some hints. Thanks, Betty Kendrick

Dear Kay,
Sorry for the month delay in getting back to you. Had some health issues that distracted me. Phyllis's mother was Nellie Louise Lamb. She was married to Paul Fred Miller,Sr.Louise's mom was Nora Elizabeth Sawyers who married a Mr. Lamb from Paint Rock.Louise had two brothers that we know of,Steuben and Melvin. There was another daughter who died or was stillborn, no one can,or will, tell us much. Louise's brothers have both passed on, as has she. Steuben's family is in the vicinity of Powell and Knoxville,TN. We haven't had contact with them for years. Melvin had only one son that we know of. Weird thing is that both brothers named their sons the same, Ronald Lee Lamb. Steuben's Ronnie is tall,dark and skinny. Melvin's Ronnie is short,heavy-set,and light-haired. Melvin's Ronnie
just got out of prison for killing his mother's boyfriend,
many years ago. I think he is here in Gaston County,NC or he may have returned to Paint Rock, where he had property at one time. Boy,didn't I marry into a motley crew.
Anyway,any info you could provide me with would be wonderful and greatly appreciated!! I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks

Barbo — 2008-11-08 16:55:42Z

I am trying to locate information about Coleman Marshall and his wife, Joanna Bickers Marshall. I believe they are buried in Greene County. Where I do not know. They moved to Tennessee from Virginia sometime in the 1860's or 1870's.

If anyone has run across their gravesites, I would appreciate knowing about it!

Their daughter, Sarah Frances Marshall married John Robert Colvin from Dandrige, Jefferson, Tennessee.

Who are you looking for in particular? I have a great deal of info on the Cobble family. I'm descended from Mary Magdalene Cobble who married John Harmon b. 1807 as well as from her half brother John who married 1st Anna Maria Wampler and 2nd my ancestor Rebecca Etter.

Re: New Hope Cemetery

rawii|MA1302692 — 2009-01-12 16:48:58Z

I have Stewart spelled Stuart; which spelling is likely correct. The marriage date I have is 14 Oct 1869.

Also that he married Margaret Smith first on 19 March 1857. I have John & Margaret's first child Sarah b. 1858

Re: New Hope Cemetery

rawii|MA1302692 — 2009-01-12 20:13:27Z

I haven't any answers to your questions, but hurray! I've looked and looked for John Dudley's parents in Greene County.
I didn't look in Roane or Unicoi Counties. I have Sarah b. abt. 1858 and Mary abt 1859 as Maragret's daughters. I assumed that Margaret must have died following childbirth, but she and John could well have been divorced before Mary was born.

Southerland/Sutherland

KayFakhar — 2008-11-23 00:56:29Z

I am interested in knowing more about your Sutherland line from Greene Co, TN.

Do you have any connection to:
Isaac Sutherland who settled in Frederick County, Virginia & married Sarah Toland.

Isaac and Sarah are said to have headed to Greene County, TN around 1784/86, where their son Thomas married a Phebe Stanfield approx. 1803.

Their other son, John Sutherland, born 1796, married Mary Woodward July 22, 1812 Jefferson Co TN.

It is believed that Issac Sutherland. Sr. died while in Greene Co. or Jefferson Co., TN.

It would be very helpful to locate his will or any other information on this family.

Issac & Sarah Sutherland were also the parents of:

i. Rebecca Sutherland, born July 10, 1782 VA; died Nov 01, 1863 Rush Co. IN; md George Brown
ii. Isaac Sutherland, Jr. born 1794; md Lydia Woodward
iii. John Sutherland, born 1796; md1 Mary Woodward July 22, 1812 Jefferson Co TN; md2 Rosanna Imboten, Wayne Co, IN

The Sutherlands, Woodwards, Thornburghs, Browns and other related families left the Jefferson Co, TN area and moved to Wayne Co., IN approx 1813.

Thanks, Kay

are you familiar with the Cox fam as they moved from Kansas to Oklahoma; specifically WA'Doc'Cox who was married to MelvinaJennieMorin? One of their sons was my grandfather RobertEdwinCox b.1879Kansasd.1938Louisiana?

If you have old photos of the Mitchell family, I would like to get some of them. My 2nd great grandfather Henry Mitchell is the group I am interested in the most. However, I do believe that an Aden Mitchell is Henry's brother. Henry was married to Margaret Kelley. They had children named Mary Elizabeth Mitchell (Davis & Haney), George Mitchell, Sam Mitchell, Ira David Mitchell, Herman Pettibone Mitchell, Frank Mitchell, and Lucy Bell Mitchell (Lingo & Muncier). Pettibone, Sam, Ira, and Frank moved to Campbell county, TN. Henry and Margaret eventually moved to Campbell county where Henry died. Mary & Lucy died in Greene, TN.

I also research the Ball family in Greene and Hawkins Counties. My ggg grandmother was Nancy Ball, born 7 Nov 1815, married 21 Jul 1836 to Andrew Bailey, and died 10 Dec 1905 in Greene Co. Nancy and Andrew appear together in the 1850 Greene Co. census in Division 9. Iam unable to find them in 1840 or 1860. Andrew Bailey died 5 Feb 1865. I visited their graves in Greene Co. when I was a child but cannot remember the name of the cemetery or where it was located. I think the cemetery was next to a white church (I know, not much help). Andrew was the son of John Bailey and Nancy Tunnell. Can you tell me anything about Nancy's Ball family? I believe I have evidence to prove her parents, but I'd like to know what you think.

Hopefully, he was notified of your post, too.

Davis land purchases from 1783 to 1820

mikeclark56 — 2008-11-27 16:04:05Z

A potential relative of mine named Elijah Davis was married in Greene County, TN in October of 1793. I am trying to find a deed listing that would show Elijah Davis purchases and sales of land from county formation until 1820, when I know he is in Jennings County, IN. Is there any on-line source or local society index that would easily provide such details? Thank you in advance.

My great-great grandfather was William Franklin McCurry who was born in Greene County, Tennessee in 1845. He was married in Gentry County, near Albany Missouri in 1866 and later settled in Nebraska.

It sounds like William McCurry was a brother of your great-great grandfather James McCurry. If you have any additional information on the McCurry family in either Tennessee or Missouri, please advise.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 12:43:17Z

I am very happy to learn that Bethenia Reynolds England Hatley had any children at all with either Thomas England or
Sherwood Hatley. I think it was when she was applying for a widow's pension of Hatley that her brother Joshua testified that she had no children and he probably meant none with Hatley. I notice that you call Thomas England Dan; was Dan his nickname? Do you know any more about him.
I think he was taken prisoner in the Civil War and was shot while trying to escape but don't have any details. Someone just wrote that to me. It would make sense that Thomas and Bethenia had children but I don't know where to look for them.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 13:22:22Z

I think Thomas England was a prisoner of either the CSA or USA and escaped and then was shot to death in the mountains of TN. That is all I know about him.

Go to website address: Tngenweb.org and then click on Greene Co. and then on Queries and place your query there.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-22 03:12:44Z

This information is very valuable to me as I am having a lot of trouble with the Jesse Reynolds family. He's my great, great grandfather. Seena was Bethenia Reynolds and apparently she was 15 years younger than her husband Thomas England. If they married in 1841 as you say, and this is correct, and if they had Mary in 1843, Alice in 1845 and Katharine in 1849, they probably had other children.
Thomas was evidentally in the Civil War at an advanced age if he was born in 1800 and was taken prisoner but I do not know the date. He escaped and was shot in the mountains of TN somewhere. I don't know the date. After that she married Sherwood Hatley who had been married 3 times before and had children with first wife only, PHoebe Johnston.
She and Sherwood had no children but as his last wife she did collect his pension and her brother Joshua testified which is probably the only reason we found out she was Jesse's daughter. Thanks again.

Shirley: I have a copy of the marriage certificate and it says 1817 although they did apply for the license in 1816.
Jesse is my great, great grandfather.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-22 13:06:07Z

I'm sure a lot of errors were made in the Marriage Book and in other places, but probably what happened was that she was not of legal age and they had to wait a year, even though they applied in 1816 to marry, but the actual certificate says 1817, so...Thanks again.

Re: Searching for parents of William. S. Rader

arabiangirl94 — 2009-03-05 18:01:02Z

I believe that William S Rader happened to be Sarah Rader (Cobble's) Brother Because Sarah is married to Jacob Cobble and this has Jacob listed as William's sibling. Sarah is the daughter of Jacob Rader and Elizabeth Woods of TN. There is also a cemetary in TN named the Rader Family Cemetery. Sarah would have been my gr,gr granmother's mother and jacob my gr,gr grandfather's father. Hope this helps:) Mary

JOHN G. SEVERSON, 86 SANTA BARBARA, Calif

jstenn6567 — 2008-10-02 16:11:33Z

JOHN G. SEVERSON, 86 SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - John G. Severson, 86, died peacefully in his home in Santa Barbara on Wednesday, April 9, 2008. He was born in Archbald, Ohio, on Nov. 7, 1921, and moved to Rockford, Ill., at the age of 12. There he met the love of his life, Janet Carlson, who became his wife of 62 years. John served his country as a B-24 pilot in World War II, flying 30 missions over Berlin and elsewhere in 1944 and 1945. He came home in March of that year to learn that his only brother, Robert, had just lost his life at Aegidienberg in a critical battle for control of the Rhine River. Later that year, John married Janet and they completed college degrees together at Northwestern University, and went on to raise children, Kathy, Douglas and Susan. John began work in the optics department at Eastman Kodak Co. in 1947, where he remained for 25 years, retiring as head of their Technical Center in Oak Brook. In 1972, he and Jan retired to Solvang, Calif., where they became very active in support of the arts and the local community. They were founding patrons of the Solvang Festival Theater and their generosity created the Severson Theater and endowed a student scholarship at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria. John also became president of the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Society. In 1991, they moved to Montecito, where John remained active on the board of trustees of the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County and continued his support of the arts. John was a man of vast knowledge, insatiable curiosity and great respect for the needs and opinions of others. His love for his family knew no bounds. He will live on not only in the hearts of his wife and children, but in those of his grandchildren, Emily, John, Tom, Adam, Greg, Marc, Joe, Jondavid, and Kevin; and great-grandchildren, Jaida, Zoe and Taj. He was instrumental in the donation of the family property in Rockford to the county forest preserve, where it has become a thriving environmental education center that has inspired and enlightened countless thousands of visitors of all ages for more than 30 years. In lieu of flowers, it is requested that donations be made to the Severson Dells Nature Center, 8786 Montague Road, Rockford, IL, 61102. Arrangements by McDermott-Crockett Mortuary, Santa Barbara.

I research the GIST line because it is a distant connection to my family, but also because the GIST name comes up in connection with my 5th great grandfather, William ROBERTSON.

I show a Benjamin GIST m Rhoda Bayless HINDS in 1793. Rhoda had an Uncle Capt. John Henry HINDS, is this the same person?

I am not related, but just doing a lookup. In Tennessee, I research Balls and Waggoners, primarily. I don't have any Wilsons from Greene Co. that I know of, nor any Reynolds. I have Boyds and Reynolds from Virginia who lived in Patrick Co., married and migrated to Russell Co., VA.

Nancy Boyd b. abt 1806 m. Abraham Reynolds. They had a son, Jesse Reynolds, b. 1840 in Wythe Co., VA. I believe I found him on the Johnson Co., MO census for 1900.

Re: William Ball (b. 1778), father of Nancy Ball (b. 1815)

MichelleWilsonLigon — 2008-09-23 14:16:18Z

Hi, do you know who the parents of Nancy Caroline Kelly were? I have some Kellys in my Russell Co., VA branch.

Is that your David Tate on the 1860 for Hawkins, TN, with wife Nancy, and Merina, Caswell and Mary?

I am finding that Sarah McMullen was born in Botetourt Co., VA, and her parents were Edward and Sarah (Robinson) McMullen.

From Vol 2 of Chalkley's Chronicles
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/augusta/court/2court3...
Edward McMullen was issued a Marriage License on 16 May 1759.

ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/augusta/court/2court4...
In 1767, Edward McMullen and David Tate (your David's father, grandfather?) were appointed "supernumeraries."

ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/augusta/court/2court4...
Seems to be an account of general property or settlement. "John Willson
Stephen Willson, John Dean, Robert Armstrong, William Mann, Edward
McMullen, from head of Jackson's River to mouth of Cowpasture."

From Vol 3 of Chalkley's Chronicles
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/augusta/court/3court3...
Edward McMullen apparently witnessed a deed in 1759.

ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/augusta/court/3court1...
John Robinson's will, naming children, including daughter Sarah McMullen. (There is also a sale from John Robinson to Sarah McMullen and others on that page. Scroll down for the will.)

Andrew Bailey is on the 1840 for Hawkins Co., TN.
300001 00001

They are in Division 9, Greene Co., TN in 1850.

I have not been able to find them on the 1860.

I have that Nancy's parents were William and Nancy (Tate) Ball.

Jacque, I sent you an email via Ancestry.

William Ball (b. 1778), father of Nancy Ball (b. 1815)

MichelleWilsonLigon — 2008-09-22 11:43:39Z

William Ball was the son of Moses and Mary Ann (Hardin) Ball. William was b. abt 1778 in Fairfax Co., VA, d. AFT 1870 in Hawkins Co., TN, m. Nancy Tate, dau of Edward and Sarah (McMullen) Tate, b. abt 1786 in Botetourt Co., VA, d. AFT 1850 in Hawkins Co., TN.

I gathered this information last year. I have not thoroughly documented it, and it may not yet be complete. Please take the information as leads and research it for your own files. I have been in touch with other descendants of William Ball, and their information is consistent with mine.

For the most accurate information on this family, your local library may have the book The Ball Family of the Potomac, by George and Doris Ball. It contains over 600 pages of excellent research. (One day, I hope to have a copy!) www.worldcat.org

Re: Andrew and Nancy (Ball) Bailey marriage

MichelleWilsonLigon — 2008-09-22 11:14:01Z

Thank you, Shirley. Do you suppose the first date is the date of license and the latter date the marriage? I don't suppose it would have been the custom to record the date of the minister's return. ?

The Balls and the Tunnells were related. Many, if not most, of the Tunnells were ministers. I descend from George and Elizabeth (Tunnell) Ball of Russell Co., VA. George's brother, Moses Ball, moved from Russell to Hawkins Co., TN, and raised a large family.

!850 Census shows Sarah's Father as Leander Dinsmore and no wife. Shows him as age 49, so he was born 1800 or 1801 and it shows TN. Living with a Family of Thomas Davis Jr. and his wife Levinis is a Elizabeth Dinsmore age 86 born in Penn. birth date around 1764.

Re: GOODMAN family around 1800 - 1810

rongoodman1 — 2008-11-28 06:48:35Z

I am descended from the Anselm Goodman you mention, b 1802 in Greene Co., TN, son of Amos I. Goodman and Sarah Conway.

Sarah accompanied Amos to Barren Co., KY about 1804/5, and they divorced before 1810, or she may have died there or elsewhere, but probably not in Greene Co., TN. She is mentioned in the minute book of the (Green River) United Baptist Church in January 1809: "Sister Sarah GOODMAN having left us and joined the Methodist contrary to the rules of the Church, agreed that she be cited to appear at our next church meeting.", and she is excluded the same date. This may indicate that she and Amos had divorced or intended to, and that she changed congregations at that time.

The 1810 Barren County KY census shows Amos Goodman and his 2nd wife Mourning Jones, with 2 young children under 10 years of age plus one female over 45, possibly Amos's mother, Epharilla Thorp(e) Goodman. One child, the only male, is presumed to be Anselm, then age 8, and the other was an unknown female, not a male.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the Martin Goodman you named is a son of Amos and Sarah Goodman. What is the specific source of your Martin Goodman's parentage and birth date and location?

I have always thought without tracking it myself that the Colliers of Greene Co., Tn may go back to a Col. John Collier who was in Guilford/Randolph Co., NC during the Rev War. He may have been a Continental Officer.

Re: John Collier ROBERTSON, Greene Co., TN

No but Capt John Hinds who was under Col. Collier got married in Greene Co. in the 1790's. I have a lot of other lines there.

Thank you for your letter. I thought you might like to know the following
I was given about 300 original records on the Hinds family that started in C: 1731. Capt John Hinds had to have kept them. They went through the civil war period. There were a number of records pertaining to Col. John Collier as Capt John Hinds was a Capt of Horse Dragoons under him.
After the war John came to Burke Co., NC and then Greene Co., Tn and then Knox Co., Tn though owning land in Roane; Overton and Knox Co. Some of his grandchildren went to Bradley and Roane Co. etc.
My husbands people went to Roane which is where I live.
I did a Hinds book and I put in all the records I gave the originals to the McClung Library in Knox Co.

My ancestor John COLLIER, son of James COLLIER & Susannah DOUGAN Collier, was b. Dec 14, 1732,Paxtang(Paxton) township, Lancaster, Dauphin Co,PA. He served in the Continental army against the British. He married Margaret REGART in 1754. He became a Colonel. His mother's nephews and brothers also fought for the colonist in the Continental army. They moved from PA to Randolph Co,NC & continued fighting against the British. His cousin Thomas DOUGAN's grave site was honored by the DAR & a beautiful headstone was placed where the Battle of Guilford courthouse took place. After the war he was continually harrassed by the tories, (they burned his house) so he packed up his family & moved to , I believe it was Virginia, not sure. Then after John COLLIER died his wife & children moved to Greene Co,TN. Some later moved to Cleveland, Bradley Co,TN, including my GG Grandfather Thomas J COLLIER & his family. This information was furnished to me by Brenda Schwall & she also sent me letters of the COLLIER family.Including letters from John COLLIER to his father, nephews, sister,etc. If you would like to email me, feel free to do so.

Thank you very much for this information.

We know Benjamin was in Washington Co later, and his children, and where he lived. We know Michael lived in Shenandoah VA, and his sons were born there, but do not know his wife

I'm having difficulty connecting Daniel Ricker (Jr.?) with Daniel (Sr.?) because I cannot find Daniel Jr. in Census for 1860, 1870, or 1880. I visited Daniel/Lucretia Ricker's grave a couple months ago in Greene, TN. I realized after reading your post that the date on the gravemarker may be wrong (says b. 1851). So I modified my searching and still cannot find him. I am requesting their marriage and death certificates from Greene County, TN, but have not received them yet. Any thoughts?

Looney, William to Mary Emaline Jones October 22,1857

Re: James Johnson

kb5ylg1 — 2009-01-08 03:09:58Z

This William Johnson was not the brother of the President...the brother of the President had removed from Greene County years before and died in Texas. This William was the one who married Martha Farnsworth in 1836, and was brother-in-law to Henry Allen Farnsworth.

This William Johnson, I agree, was likely father of Andrew Martin Johnson, although DNA testing of descendants has not proved it, more tests needed.

One researcher has suggested another connection to the President, however...this William Johnson possibly being the son of Noel Johnson, who in turn possibly descended from an uncle of the President. I have not seen proof of this theory, however.

DNA of a line related to the President is not very similar to the DNA of the Andrew Martin Johnson line, so I think the Presidential connection is bogus, based on that fact.

Andrew Martin Johnson's father was William Johnson per Andrew's death certificate, filled out by his daughter Pearl Johnson LaFollete and her husband.

His brother was William B. Johnson. He also had a half brother Thomas Franklin Johnson, and half sister Mary Elizabeth Johnson, both children his senior and of Nancy Jane Lemons Johnson.

There are court documents with some details of dealings between Nancy Jane Johnson and a William Johnson, however they were apparently not married to each other. Nancy got her last name from her former husband James Johnson, who died 5 years before Andrew Martin Johnson was born; her dealings with William were in the right time frame for im to father Andrew Martin, although he was married to someone besides nancy at that time. William is apparently not related to James.

Nancy Jane Lemons Johnson's father was Abraham Lemons
per court documents settling his estate. His wife's name is not mentioned in any documents that I have found.

Andrew Martin Johnson, Nancy Looney and much of their family are buried in the Mt. Olive Cemetery formerly known as Red Hill.

Re: New Hope Cemetery

jokerr161 — 2009-01-12 18:59:57Z

I'm glad to have found someone who has Druzan in their records. Maybe you can delete some of my question marks.

Druzan was dau of Isaiah McStewart and Lydia Yeakley. Durzan was sister of my ancestor, John McStewart.
Druzan was born 18 Aug 1839, Greene Co TN. The name Stewart has been retained in my line.

According to Greene Co TN m. records, John Cobble m. Margaret Smith, 19 Mar 1857.

According to Greene Co TN m. records, John Cobble m. Druzan Stewart, 5 Dec 1859.

The 1860 Greene Co TN Census lists; John, Druzan, Mary and Sarah.

Druzan and John's son, John Dudley Cobble was born 16 Nov 1860, Greene Co TN.

Druzan died at childbirth, or shortly afterward. Some records have her death date 1863. I'd like to have proof of that and know where she is buried.

The 1870 Roane Co TN census shows John and wife Margaret.
The 1880 Unicoi Co TN census shows John and wife Mary.
Both these census lists John's son by Druzan, John Dudley.

Did John Cobble marry 3 times, or four times? First to Margaret Smith, then to Druzan Stewart, then marry another Margaret, and then marry Mary? Could Margaret and Mary of the 1870 and 1880 census be the same woman?

The Mary in 1880 census is listed as age 33.
There is no marriage record in Greene Co (that I've found) for John Cobble after 1859 when he married Druzan.

As an aside...who knows anything about the Margaret Cobble listed as divorced in the 1880 Greene Co TN census living with adult daughters, Mary and Sarah? Could this possibly be the first wife of John Cobble?

Any replies will be valued. Thanks.

There are various ways of spelling "Click", the modern-day version of the German name, Gluck. Down through the centuries the spelling has changed from Gluck to Glick to Cluck to Click. There may be other spellings. But know that you are on the right track. (I am a direct descendant of these "Clicks", by the way).

Looked at 1900 Greene County cesus and see a Phillip Easterly, listed as 8 yr old, b. July 1891. Gotta tell you that name of the father is smeared, but a daughter, Viola, age 21, b. 1889 is listed. Looked at 1880 (no 1890 available) and found a 1 yr old Viola who is listed in house of Abram Easterly with wife, Eliza. Abram looks to be 37 yrs old and Eliza, 32.
In this 1880 census, children are Scott, age 9, Horace, age 7, and Viola, age 1.
Additional children found in 1900 are Daniel age 10, Phillip, age 8, Elmira, age 6, and Beulah, age 5.
Eliza is not mentioned in 1900 so it may be that she died after Beulah was born.

Richard, from everything that has been found, to date, the information that you were given is correct. Folk lore has the number of persons buried there at a significantly higher number and the size of the area would lend credence to, at least, some of this idea.

Re: Jesse Davis Will- 1823

eawd47 — 2008-03-04 19:56:21Z

Edward C. McAmis in his book "Tennessee's First Settlers and Soldiers" says William Ford, born about 1781 Ulster or N.C. s/o John Ford b. 1761 Ulster and Jennie Wilson b. 1763 Ulster who emigrated to today's Greene TN by way of N.C.. William on 1/16/1818 bought part of the old Dutton Lane N.C. grant of 1794 (Lick Creek) Gr. TN. In the year 1825 Wm. Ford sold 34 acres of this land on Lick Creek to Wm. McAmis b. 1783-85 and wife Mary Ford b. 1785. Neighbors of Wm Ford in 1825 were heirs of Jessie Davis and the Joseph Fowler Grant. He goes on to day that Mary Ford must be his sister.

I don't know anything more about him but I do think that the Ford, McAmis, and Lane, and Davis families seem to be intertwined. I would be interested in any information that you find also. I am interested in the Davis family and all their connections.

Did John Stein have a son named Abraham F. Stein?
Do you know anything about the Stein family in Tennessee prior to 1860?

He married Martha Jane Skiles (Troxell) December 23, 1867 in Emmitsburg, Frederick County, Maryland in the Presbyterian Church.

According to the 1870 Emmitsburg, Frederick County, Maryland Census, he was born 1841 in Tennessee.

The 1870 Census has:
A.F. Stein, drugist b. Tennessee
Martha Stein, keeping house b. Maryland
Richy (John Richie Stein) 2 yrs old b. Maryland
Winfield Troxel (Martha's son from a previous marriage) 16 yrs works on a farm b. Maryland

Re: Andrew Jackson Phillips of Greene County

emmasansom — 2008-05-25 13:59:33Z

I don' know if this will help your delima but the Andrew Jackson Phillips son of Royal, was born in 1827, and would have been a little old to have been in the American Civil War by both sides standards.

He is the one that is though to be buried in the Bethesda Cemetery, Greene Co., TN, as is some of the family members.

Their was an Andrew J. Phillips b. 1846 son of Micajah Phillips & Sarah J. Dejarnett. They were from a line out of NC, do not know if they were ever in or around Greene, TN,(have not reasearched) but one of the uncles was allied to this family later.

Than their was an Andrew Phillips b. 1837, son of Isaac Phillips and Margaret "Peggy" Headrick of Hawkins, Tn.

This family was in and around Greene TN from time to time, with family members going to Texas with some of the other families.

I just think that the Andrew J. son of Royal was much to old.

I am of the family of Dyer Phillips of Greene, TN. so that is my interest and research, as Dyer was a great great great grandfather.

Re: Joseph Bowman m. Rhoda Chandler

bobbeo60 — 2008-05-22 15:03:09Z

I apologize for not replying sooner....but yes....the 33 original journals are found in the manuscript dept at the Filson in Louisville.....lot of rules governing their use now but still accessible if you want to read them. Harrodsburg Historical Society had 3 microfilms of the journals in their keeping....several libraries including the Filson has those as well. Western KY University library at Bowling Green, KY has a microfilm of Shaker records too and quite a bit of the early days of Pleasant Hill are on that roll and most interesting as it gave dates of the first Shaker meeting in KY in the barn of my 4th gt grandfather, John Banta.

If you need more info you can contact me at my new email address..... bobbeo60@insightbb.com

Re: Joseph Bowman m. Rhoda Chandler

bobbeo60 — 2008-05-22 17:55:56Z

I checked my list of members at Pleasant Hill in Mercer County, KY and don't find an Avery in the listings...though he could have been there just a short time as a guest or winter shaker and wouldn't necessarily appeared on the membership rolls.

The other Shaker village was near Bowling Green, KY in Logan County and near the KY/TN border... that might be a possibility for where he was. Western KY University at Bowling Green has some info available at their library/archives and it might help to write them with a question to see if anything shows up there. My thinking is this is the likely site for him to have spent some time living. I think I just did an online search for the university website, then located the tab for their library and sent an inquiry that way.

I hope that might turn up some answers for you. Let me know if its successful, interested in knowing.

My new email is bobbeo60@insightbb.com and will not be using the yahoo address after the end of May if I can get everything switched over by then.

In 1826, after his father died, went to Tennessee, a single man, married there. He moved from tennesse to Indiana and settled near Pendleton, Madison County, where he died in 1843. His children born to him were George, Philip, John, Henry, David, Susanna, Elizabeth, and Peter. Henry had one son Walter that we know about. He lived in Severy, Kansas. He remembers that hid great Grandmother came from Germany and could only speak fourteen words of English when married. He also gives this as the reason that Smithers was changed to Smathers

Re: HONOR HARMON

judyw0113 — 2008-04-08 23:22:39Z

Here are some records that show that Honor Harmon's father was probably Isaac Harmon who lived in Greene, Tennessee in 1850 and then removed his family to McDonald, Missouri sometime before the 1860 census. In Tenneessee Isaac's wife was Mary, but by 1860 he was married to Sarah. The three Bird children on the 1860 census may be Sarah's by a previous marriage. If so, Mary would be Honor's mother because the youngest Bird child was born in 1856.

I couldn't find Honor or her husband William Robert Williams on any records after their marriage in 1875. If you give me your grandfather's name, birth date and birthplace, I will do another search.

I'M AT A STANDSTILL (TEMPORARY) IN MY RESEARCH AS TO JAMES MELVIN'S MOTHER ANN HECK. 1880 CENSUS RECORDS SHOW HER AS SINGLE/HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD WITH TWO CHILDREN. NO RECORDS THERE AS TO WHO HER PARENTS WERE EXCEPT THAT HER FATHER WAS BORN IN PA AND HER MOTHER IN NC. I THINK THERE MAY BE A LINK TO JORDAN J. HECK AND HIS WIFE SARAH HARRISON.

I too am a Heck. Not knowing my fathers's side of the family due to a divorce when I was an infant I've been curious about that side of my family history for years. I've researched up to James Melvin Heck--it took quite a while to get that far--and am at a standstill with his mother Ann. 1880 Census records show her as single with two children in Greene county Tennessee. I think I may have found a connection with Jordan J. Heck and Sarah Harrison--their Ann my be the mother of James Melvin. I feel this may be the case--I'm hoping anyway because I've been hitting brick walls at every turn researching My Heck Ancestry. Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Jenny md James Seaton, 23 Sep 1811
Henry not in the marriage bk but on the 1809 Tax List ?

All of these marriages in Greene Co.

If this is the list of his children, who is George, age 30, living with Eva in the 1850 census ? Did Eve have children by Jacob Hise ? Cannot find any.Trying to find this son, George, and wondering if this is the son she supposedly had by Mr. Gann in 1818 and what last name has he got. Cannot find him as George Hise or George Fellers. Anyone know the answer to this mystery ?

Re: Quaker Roots

I have John M Bails (various spellings) 1844- 1846, married Delphia Coldwell. Is in Hawkins CO 1870, on same page as John S (1844) and Elizabeth Bales and Owen Bales. In 1880 Owen, John S and families are in MO and John and Delphia are in Greene Co where they remain.
In 1850, there is a listing for a John, son of Caleb and Elizabeth Beals. As you said, there are so many people with the same name. It is difficult. Thank-you for your suggestion.

Quaker Roots

cyndycox — 2008-03-25 16:27:50Z

Does anyone have any information on the Quakers in Green county? My ancestor John M Bails is listed as John Beals on the 1850 census. There are severals Bails/ Beals buried at Quaker Knobs. Our name is spelled Bailes, at least since the 1900's.

I am going to Greene county soon and will be glad to photograph and transcribe the gravestones. I was there last fall and some of them are difficult/impossible to read, but maybe if we get all the information together we will have a better idea of who is buried there. My family is Beals.

Thank-you for your help and for your patience. I just found out that Thomas was John Francis M Beals/Bails father when I got his Civil War pension file this week, so I was a little excited to try to find out more about Thomas and Emeline. John is my GG-grandfather. He married Delphia Coldwell and they lived in Greene and Hawkins CO. Thank-you again!

Re: Does anyone have the publication of New Hope, Greene Co., TN cemetery? surnames listed...

I was just looking through some pictures and Emeline (White) Beals is buried at New Hope. Her gravestone says, Emeline Beales, wife of Thomas Ellis. I cannot make out the date of her death, but I will try to get a better phot and also a transcription. So this sounds like he may be the Thomas E 1814 that you have.

I have an Effie Morgan (1900-1987) who married Walter Mitchell (1898-1978). Walter's father would have been George Mitchell. I don't have much information about George, but he would have been a brother of Mary. I have now found out that Mary was married to a Haney and then to a Davis. I have since obtained a death certificate on her. If you know anything about the Effie & Walter connection to Mary including information on his father George. My great-uncle told me George was struck by a drunk driver in Anderson county and killed in about 1949. But, I haven't found anything yet. You can email me at osengineer3@yahoo.com with more information.

Obituary/Death Date search - George Mitchell

osengineer3 — 2008-08-05 02:07:40Z

I'm searching for a man who died in Anderson county. He was originally from Greene county. He died after Jan 1944. I know he was living when his brother Sam died in Jan 1944 per Sam's obituary. Can someone look him up in a death index. He was born about 1872 give or take a couple of years. He was hit by a car on Laurel Road. That is where they found him dead. From my great-uncle's best recollection it was either 1949 or 1950. Thanks.

Mary R Mitchell / John Yeakley

osengineer3 — 2008-07-03 22:46:12Z

Can anyone supply any information about these two? I find them on the 1900 census in Knoxville, but they got married in Greene county. Also, their daughter, Minnie Yeakley, is in Greene county married to a Theodore Holt in the 1910 census. Yeakley may not be the correct spelling it could be Yokley, Yoakley, Yakeley or Yakley or something different.

Union Chapel Cemetery

Henry Mitchell

I'm trying to locate the parents of Henry Mitchell. He was born 22 Oct 1845 in Greene county and died 5 Dec 1914 in Campbell county, Tennessee. His mother was Mary or Polly Mitchell. His death certificate has "unknown" for his father. I think it is possible Aden Mitchell born 1844 is his brother.

My grandfather, James Douglas Pierce, first wife was John and Elizabeths daughter, Margaret'Maggie" Malone, 1862-1891. Maggie and Elizabeth are buried at Carters Chapel Greene Co,Tn.
I think this is the same John I am trying to find the death date and burial place for. The death date fits right in because he was there in 1870 and gone in 1880 census.

Re: Jesse Johnson & Nancy/Ann Stanfield

R_Zempter — 2008-05-06 16:38:07Z

From what I have gathered Nancy Stanfield's parents were Thomas Stanfield and Hannah Vernon. Annie's parents were Samuel Stanfield and Lydia Vernon. Samuel and Thomas were brothers born to John Stanfield and Hannah Hadley both from Ireland. It's possible I guess that they could be one and the same, maybe daughter to Thomas Samuel Stanfield? At any rate, they both seem to be a descendent of John Stanfield. Maybe the answer lies in the two Vernon's. I found Lydia Vernon was the daughter of Isaac and Hannah Townsend Vernon from Chester Co., Pa dying in North Carolina, but I don't have parents for Hannah Vernon.
My great grandfather was Mason Johnson, half brother (or whole) to Wiley, through his son, Jesse that the deed in Ky belongs to.

Key Family in Early Greene County

JutKey — 2008-03-24 00:10:29Z

Hello everyone,
I'm requesting any knowledge anyone might have about the Key family in early Greene County, from roughly 1790 to 1810. Specific names include John Key (possible Captain in Rev. War, and son of Moses Key, Jr. according to Julia Lane). David and Hugh Key who show up on tax lists with John Kee/Key from 1798 to 1800. David and Hugh also show up on road crews, jury duties, etc. Hugh Key seems to leave sometime around 1807 to 1809. We believe he went to Wayne County, KY and is the Hugh Key that shows up in 1830-1850 Morgan County, TN. David is the father of Rev. John Key and grandfather of David McKendree Key. We're not sure if Capt. John Key died here or moved on somewhere else. No record of his death exists.

This Key family lived in the Carter Station area of Greene County, on Lick Creek and Gap Creek. I would love to hear any facts or oral history concerning these family members.

Thanks!
Feel free to email me at jutkey@gmail.com.

Seeking information on Andrew Jackson Phillips of Greene County. I am attempting to identify the Andrew J. Phillips enrolled in the First Tennessee Regiment (Confederate) in Greenevil on March 8, 1864. This Andrew J. Phillips then deserted on May 27, 1864. Trying to determine if this is the same A.J. Phillips who is buried in the Bethesda Cemetery in Greene County in 1903. This A.J. Phillips would have been the son of Royal Phillips.

No, it is not. Pleasant Hill Cemetery is located in the first district of Greene County, near the Washington County line. This area is also know as the Horse Creek Valley".

Try doing a google search on Quakers and I think there are several sites just on John Beals.
Also, I have some data, but there was more than one John. Any dates for yours?

Re: William Baughard

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-06-15 03:53:40Z

It's entirely possible that he had a third wife, but I do not have her. As you probaby know, in those days wives often died in childbirth, from illnesses like TB which was prevalent in Greene Co., and whatever epidemic came along, like the Flu, cholera, small pox, etc. And if the husband drank or was unfaithful, there were divorces. Many women lost men in the Civil War also, so many married two or three times.

Re: William Baughard

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-06-13 23:27:29Z

I suppose you know that James Wyly Babb and Fatima divorced 2 Apr 1859 in Livingston Co. MO on grounds of dessertion.
She then remarried Alexander J. Harmon 5 Mar 1861 and had 10 children. He m. Martie C. Garretson 1 Dec 1892.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

Hi Cuz: Jesse James Reynolds was probably born 1786 m. 2 Jul 1817 and d. aft. 1870. He married Mary (Polly) Malone b. 1798 d. aft. 1860 Ottway, Greene Co. TN. They had 10 children. It is not known when or where Jesse died but both he and his son Jesse fought in the Civil War for the CSA. The last census record I saw for him in Greene Co. TN was in 1860.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, marriage record and 1830 census record

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 12:38:21Z

Yes, the marriage date was Jul 2 1817. I notice that many couples in Greene Co. applied for a license and were not actually married on that date but a few days or weeks later. Mary Polly was either born in 1796 or 1798 and was the youngest child of John II Malone and Mary Ann Posey.

Did any of your Wilsons marry a Reynolds?

Re: Jesse Reynolds, marriage record and 1830 census record

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 11:19:25Z

Re the marriage of Jesse James Reynolds and Mary Polly Malone, I realize that many places say they married in 1816, but the actual marriage certificate says it was 1817.
She was 16 when they married in 1817 and although they applied for a license in 1816 they could not acually marry until 1817.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 02:22:34Z

Carole: Please read all of the other posts re this line and my replies. Also, re the spelling of the name Reynolds, since my folks were Scots-Irish, "Reynolds" is not even the correct spelling and it was spelled varioiusly: Runnells,
Runnels, Raynalds, and great, great, grandfather John Reynolds spelled it Reynels in his will. Eventually many came to use Reynolds but there are many Runnells and other spellings throughout the U.S. You might look for all of them but Runnells seems to be the one used in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. I have not seen any others and I only saw these on line at the Greene Co. Rootsweb site. Much of my information came from other researchers like Sherry Smith in Greene Co. and Joy Malone. I don't know about any tax lists, but as I said in one answer, I think that Jesse might have been married twice but can't prove it, maybe even 3 times as I found a Jesse in Coffee Co. in 1836 who is the right age but with an entirely different family. Coffee Co. seems to have much of their infro in books I can't afford to buy.

In 1797 there was a Jesse Reynolds in Sullivan Co. TN getting a deed to some land in Greene Co. and this could be our Jesse, but if so then he was born in 1776 or earlier???

I found Jesse Reynolds in Co. G 29th Rgt TN Inf - CSA,
Jesse in Co. H 44th Conscript Rgt TN Inf and Jesse in Co. B TN Conscript Camp of Instruction but do not have any details. All of these are CSA units.

The Greene Co. Tax lists are probably found by going to Tngenweb.org, then to Greene Co. then to Links and look for
the former Greene Co. website. I can't remember its exact name but it has a lot of tax lists, etc.

I can't afford to send for military documents but hope you can find some.

Thank you for the information on my great, great uncle Joshua Reynolds and wife REbecca (Brown). The Mary A. who is buried with them was the wife of James Crawford I Reynolds who was killed in the Civil War. Her full name is Mary Ann Key and I think her father was Gabriel but don't
have her mother's name. The James C. buried there is James Crawford II son of James Crawford I. He married Melvina
Adaline Jeffers Malone. The Catherine Ingle buried there is Catherine Reynolds, dtr of Joshua and Rebecca who married John I Ingle. Thanks.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 02:01:36Z

Sherwood Hatley b. 1794 married 4 times and all his children were with his first wife, Phoebe Johnston. The Catherine W. Hatley who married Lewis Jeffers could not possibly be the daughter of Sherwood because she was not born until 1857. Sherwood married Bethena Reynolds on the 28th of Dec. 1865 so there's no way that Catherine is her daughter with him. However, it is possible that Catherine is the daughter of Bethena's first husband Thomas England b. 1822 d. 1865 (actually sent to prison and then shot while trying to escape.) Thomas married Bethena 13 Jun 1841 and although I have no proof, they might have had Catherine and other children. I really would like to find out. For now, though, I will call her Catherine England and put her in my Family Tree. Thanks.

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

dorothyreynoldsbrenner — 2008-09-21 01:42:50Z

Jesse's birth date is but an estimate, although it is pretty close and he could have been in the Civil War like many older men in those days. I also think that he had a first marriage before marrying Mary (Polly) Malone and he had to wait a year because she was under age. I found two Jesse Reynolds' listed as being in that war but have not written for their records yet. It does appear, however, that Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. both fought for the South, so maybe Samuel did also. I have not done much military research yet. But, Jesse's sons Jacob, Joshua and James Crawford all fought for the USA, so the War could have split the family and that may be why we can't find the two Jesse's anywhere. Jacob moved to Bond Co. IL and James Crawford was killed as was his brother Samuel. Joshua had a bad heart and was medically discharged. I don't know exactly where the inf re Samuel dying at Alton prison came from but if he fought for the South then it would make sense that he could have died in a Union prison after capture. I doubt that he was a Union guard but who knows? It is very difficult to research this line which is too bad as Jesse was my great, great grandfather. Thanks for your input.

Re: Mathes ancestors in Tennessee

dorothybrenner_1 — 2008-05-16 13:12:32Z

James Foster Mathes(Matthews) may have first married Sarah Reed, relative of Solomon Reed who attended wedding, on 27 Mar 1827. He married Delcena Thompson 25 Dec 1881 and if he moved to MO in 1896, and she died in 1901 then she died in MO, not TN. The only other Mathes marriage I find is James A. Mathes m. Mary Ann Pitt 31 Jan 1858.

Delcina was dtr of Hannah Wheeler and Thomas Thompson. Hannah was b. 1837 and they married 17 Nov 1860. Thomas was b. 1837 and d. 10 Mar 1865 in Civ. War, then she remarried. Their children were James Thompson 1861, John 1862, Walter 1863 and Delcina 1864.

Most of the Mathes people changed the spelling of their name to Matthews. James was son of James I b. 1786 in England and Margaret Charlton b. 1786 d. 1808. Margaret's parents were Pointer Charlton b. abt 1776 and Rebecca who m. 3 Jun 1821 and had 6 children.

Thomas Thompson,father of Delcena,was son of James Thompson b. 1812 and Mary White b. 23 Feb 1817 Jefferson Co. TN.
Their children were Elizabeth (1836-1922), Thomas b. 1837, Margaret Ann b. 1839, Mary Jane (1845-1904), Delila b. 1846 and Susannah b. 1849.

Mary White remarried to Aden Painter Humbard (1817-1858) and had son Henry R. Humbard b. 1858. Mary was daughter of
Joseph White (7 Oct 1778-18 Jun 1841) and his cousin Sarah White b. 7 Feb 1786 Loudoun Co. Va d. Whitesburg, Jefferson Co. TN. Joseph was son of Samuel I White (1 Apr 1751 23 Sep 1804) and Sarah Nixon (b.15 Mar 1759). His second wife Sarah White was dtr of William B. White b. 4 Apr 1742 and Mary Haworth b. 1742.

Joseph White's first wife was Mary Duncan (1776-1809) and they married in a double ceremony on 29 May 1805 along with his sister Mary Martha White (23 Aug 1788-8 Jun 1848) who married John II Reynolds (C.1785-c1810) son of my great, great grandfather, John I Reynolds and wife Mary Elen or Alen(not sure of last name or of birth and death dates for her.) John I Reynolds was probably born 1745 and d. bet. 8 Aug and 25 Oct 1814 after writing his will. Not sure if Mary Alen or Elen was second wife, when she was born or when she died.)

Possible children of John II Reynolds and Mary Martha White:
Jane 1806, Reuben F. 1807, Elizabeth 1808, John III 14 Jan 1809. after which it is believed that John died and she then remarried Samuel Smith b. 1788 m. 11 Jan 1810 and had children: Sarah 1811-87, James 1815 (m. Margaret), and Lucinda Carter (of Jacob and Mary Elizabeth Guffie). I have lots more.

Re: William Baughard

Hello:

I was checking through posts and found this one that we had a couple of years ago. Where did you find this info on William and Mary Jane's marriage and her parents names?

"William Buaghard married abt. 1880 Mary Jane (Polly) Babb b. 30 Nov 1853 to parents James Wyley Babb (1832-?) and Fatima Jane Carter (1835-1892). So William and Mary Jane named a
daughter Fatima after her mother."

I have looked everywhere I can think of and can not find it.

Also I have found parents and siblings for James if you still need it.

Thanks,
Patty

Re: William Baughard

Patty

Re: William Baughard

pattyscal — 2008-06-12 18:24:40Z

I found the info I was looking for, but since you are in the Babb line, do you know if there were any Native Americans in the line? My siblings and I were told that our grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee which obviously means that both her parents had to be full blood. By my findings, her mother was Mary Jane (Polly) Babb whose parents were James Wyley Babb and Fatima Jane Carter and I'm not finding anything that says Native American.
Do you have anything like that in your research.

Thanks,
Patty

Re: William Baughard

pattyscal — 2008-06-14 22:22:01Z

I knew that they had to be divorced since I had found both of them with other spouses. I found Fatima's marriage record to Alexander but I had not found a divorce date and I thank you for that. I did find that James married a Mary A. Brown Snedega on 3-20-1864. Do you suppose he was married 3 times?

Re: Smith's of Greene County

nant6 — 2008-08-16 11:49:32Z

I would be happy to add my Smiths to the list.

My great grandmother was Margaret Deborah Smith, born 4 Jun 1873 and died 26 May 1953. Her parents were John Brabson Smith and Mary A Jackson. She married Thomas Jefferson Evans Jr on 17 Mar 1889.

Their children are: William Albert Evans, Mary Belle Evans, Oscar Harold Evans, Carola Pearl Evans, Essie Mae Evans, Etta Ray Evans, Ethel Clore Evans, Elmer Claude Evans, Dennis Jay Evans, Homer Guy Evans, Hazel E Evans and Audrey Bruce Evans. They were all born and raised in Chuckey, Greene, TN but some of them moved to other locations.

John Brabson Smith was born in 1851 in Greene, TN and died about 1930 in Greene, TN. His parents were Andrew Jackson Smith and Martha Jane Deatherage. John married Mary Jackson in Greene, TN on 16 Feb 1871. They had 7 children.

Andrew Jackson Smith was born abt 1832 in Greene, TN and died abt 1897 possibly in Greene, TN. His parents were Beverly T Smith and Ruthie West. He married Martha Jane Deatherage on 7 Apr, 1850 in Greene, TN. They had at least 14 children.

Beverly T Smith was born abt 1795 in Virginia and died abt 1838 in Greene, TN. He was buried in Prices Cemetery in the Romeo community of Greene, TN. His parents were Robert Smith Jr and Rebecca Stuart. He married Ruthie West on 27 Jul 1813 in Greene, TN. They had 15 children.

I have more if anyone is interested just let me know. I hope that all of my info is correct but some times it's difficult to determine what is and what isn't.

I am familiar with Greene County. Most of the relatives on my fathers side of the family lived and still live in the area that you listed. I checked my records and couldn't find the names you mentioned but if I run across anything I will let you know. You can email me directly at nant6@comcast.net if I can be of any further help.

Re: Smith's of Greene County

nant6 — 2008-04-13 23:21:42Z

My grandmother was Margaret Deborah Smith. I have her parents as John Brabson and Mary Ann (Jackson) Smith. Johns parents are Andrew Jackson and Martha Jane (Deatherage) Smith Sr.
Andrew Jacksons parents are listed as Beverly T and Ruthie (West) Smith. I have them listed as living in Persia, Hawkins county, Tennessee and the Romeo community in Greene county, Tennessee. I have their children listed as Elizabeth, Mary Beverly, Benjamin Franklin, Lucy, Sarah, Rachel, Nancy Ann, Andrew Jackson Jr, Hiley, Jesse, Jackson and Minerva A. White. Do you know if that is correct or not. I don't have any dates of births, marriages or deaths on any of them. Would you have any info on their births, marriages or deaths that you would share with me? I would appreciate it.

After I found the names of Beverly T Smith and his family I hit a brick wall and can not find anything before them.

nant6 — 2008-04-19 02:21:46Z

In the 1850 census Andrew and Martha lived with her parents, John and Agnes Deatherage. That was in greene co, TN, the 9th district.

In 1860 I found Martha living with her parents. Nancy and Louisa, her children, were with her. That was in Greene co, TN, the 17th district.

In 1870 two of Martha and Andrews children were living with Marthas parents in the 17th district of Greene Co, TN. The children were John and Eliza Smith.

I couldn't find any more. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for the info. It really helped.

Re: Smith's of Greene County

Dear Randy,

I believe that you are looking for Andrew Jackson "Jack" Smith. He was married to Martha Jane Deatherage on April 5, 1850. Their children are Andrew Jackson Jr, Thomas N, John Brabson, Nancy Jane, Louisa A, Agnes, Telson or Tilman and Eliza.

I hope this helps. If I can be of more help just let me know.

Yes, I helped with the article. Mainly information on Nancy A. Johnson. With the exception of locating Nancy Morgan Johnson on the census with 2nd husband William Morgan I have had no luck figuring out the Morgan's. The only thing my Grandmother told me was Nancy Morgan was a cousin to Gen. John Hunt Morgan. I have never been able to prove that though.
May I ask what was the wrong info in the article?

Catherine W F 23 Wife Tennessee
Hatley, Thena W F (66) Mother in law Tennessee

Re: Jesse Reynolds, born about 1792: Census? tax lists?

118lindsay — 2008-09-21 12:35:47Z

Hi Dorothy,
I did not mean to imply that Bethena's dau. was also Sherwood Hatley's dau. Only that Bethena indeed had a child. In your first message you had stated she had no children.
I only found this info as I was researching the Hatleys. I don't know if it is possible if. she had more children with Dan England. I have a copy of her application for a widows pension from Sherwood Hatley. I need to re-read it to see if there is any further information about Bethena.

Found William Galbraith married to Margaret Leggett in 1790 PA he died in 1802 Greene County, TN & she died 1794 in Blount County, TN. Do believe he is brother-in-law to Abby/Abbey who married to Elijah Davis in 1793, Abby b. 1778 TN. Have also found another sister or cousin to Abby or Margaret, who married to Robert McCurdy 6 February 1787 Greene County, TN Robert b 1745 Ireland d, 1818 Blount County, TN & Elizabeth b. 1766/1771 PA - 1850 TN.

Re: Greene Co., TN family of Frazier

Imamiler2 — 2008-08-31 15:02:03Z

Hi again!
Do you have any information on the Samuel Frazier, b. 1788 and married 1808, in Green, TN? He may be a nephew of 1749 Samuel, and is listed many places (along with 3 other Samuel Fraziers) as dying in 1839 and buried in TN. I believe the 1749 Samuel, m. to Julian, is the one who died in 1839, but cannot find any death info on this 1788 Samuel.

Thanks!

Re: Greene Co., TN family of Frazier

Imamiler2 — 2008-07-23 01:57:43Z

You still have that book? I am researching Samuel Fraziers and although I do not believe this Sam. m. to Rebecca Julian is a direct decendent of my line, we still need to document him. I have information that Rebecca was born in France in 1748. Do you have parents, Immigration information, etc.

Thanks!

Swanay/Swaney DNA Project

calgenie — 2008-07-01 16:13:16Z

I am pleased to announce the Swanay/Swaney (and other variant spellings) DNA Surname Project! Swanay's/Swaney's have resided in Greene County, TN, from its earliest times through the present.

The initial goals of this project are:

1. To determine if the Swanay, Swaney, Swanney, and [other variant spelling] lines are connected.
2. To connect the various lines with their ancestors, and to differentiate between the lines.
5. To find desendants of Miles Swanay and Jane Johnson.
6. To determine if the Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania lines are related.
7. To identify our immigrant ancestor(s) if possible.
8. To determine our Swanay/Swaney family's native homeland (current data is showing Scotland).
9. To break down those brick walls!

The Swanay/Swaney surname is very rare, so it is difficult to find participants. If you are, or know of, someone with this surname, I hope you/they will consider participating!

In order to participate in the Y-DNA testing, a male participant is required. Many females (like myself) who cannot themselves participate in this study can find a male relative bearing the last name being tested and have this relative represent their line.

We also have participants in a mtDNA project for this surname, but remember that only males carry the Y chromosome and can be linked to the surname.

You can visit our project page at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/swanay.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at: calgenie@verizon.net.

Warmly,
Elizabeth Swanay-O'Neal

The last sentence of my previous posting should read "There are claims that one or more of her son Christian Harman's descendants were of Indian - politically correct this should also have been Native American- descent.

1800 Census, Fayette Co, PA

rwallace15 — 2008-04-11 18:22:32Z

In the 1800 Census for Fayette County PA, Nancy Harman appears as head of household. However she does not appear to be listed as a free white female. Instead 2 people appear under All Other Free Persons. Nancy is the widow of John Harman.

Her son Christian later of Greene County lives nearby.

My question is does this census records indicate the Nancy might have been a Native American? There are claims that one or more of her son Christian Harman were of Indian descent.

Do not know about David Rankin. Everything I have read in history books about Adam Rankin tell about his early church connections in Ky. He came from Penn. met up with Sam Houston and others who helped with his ordination. He was for a while the minister of Pisgah Pres. in Woodford Co. Ky. He started Mt. Zion Pres. in Lexington, Ky.

Re: William Morgan in Greene or adjacent Counties of TN

I am a descendant of Nancy Morgan Johnson Morgan also. Her daughter Anna married Allen Morgan in Oct. 1845. Did you help compile the info for the Johnson/Morgan Family History on the Greene County GenWeb site (http://www.tngenweb.org/greene/families/morgan-johnson.htm)? It has a lot of good information, but there are some inaccuracies about the Morgans that I found. I am trying to locate Allen's parents but haven't had any luck. Supposition is Allen's father was one of the Thomas's in Camp Creek - would you have any information about this branch of the Morgans? Thanks in advance.

Re: William Morgan in Greene or adjacent Counties of TN

LouiseB82 — 2008-04-22 18:18:47Z

The information about many of Allen and Anna Morgan's children is not accurate. For example, Thomas Morgan (twin to Susanna) did not die in childhood. He married and had several children, one of them being my great-grandfather. :) I can post the details later this evening. Do you know who Nancy Morgan's parents were? I have found a couple of family trees that list Anna Johnson's father as Stephen Johnson (I think the mother was listed as Susannah, I will have to go back and check). It is the same Anna because the tree shows she married Allen Morgan. We Morgans can be a confusing bunch, that's for sure!

boaten family

I am looking for someone who may know some things on what my mother has called the Boaten farm.. Not sure on the spelling of the name. My great grandfather walked there when he was just a very little kid to be an apprentice after his mother died. His father was named Thomas Morgan and his mother was sarah elizabeth harrison morgan.His name was Joseph Phillip Morgan, and he was born on oct 1875 and died in sept 15, 1952, had a brother named William that went there also. The lady that owned the farm, helped him to learn to read and write and he went on to work for the intermountain telephone company in greene and washington co. I am trying to find out more on this family to see if maybe they know anything else on Thomas and Sarah Morgan, I can't seem to find death dates for either of them. Thomas Morgan was the son Allen and Anna Johnson morgan and was born in 1850 had a twin sister susan. His wife was born about 1847-48. I hope someone may be able to help.

Rebecca McMackin Greene Co./Washington Co., TN 1872

Seeking info on Rebecca McMackin who married James (Ancestry.com records for TN State Marriages 1780-2002) says James Kesseneer but believe it to be Tessneer/Tesnear August 24, 1872 Greene Co., TN. James Tusineer/Tessneer/Tesnear and a Rebecca (wife) along with daughter - Martha are in the 1880, Greene Co., TN census giving their age as 26 which would make them both born abt 1854. In 1894, James remarries a Betty Estep in Greene County. Can find no trace of Rebecca. Does anyone have any information on Rebecca?
