James Harvey Barker & Eda Louise "Luizy" Williamson

kpbarker — 15 May 2006 7:37:52 GMT

I am looking for more information on this couple. I have some conflicting information. One person has documenation stating James father was James Barker from Guilford County, NC. While there is another documentation floating around stating his father is Kendrick Barker, but was mispelled in the census.

I have Some information about Eda's family but not a lot. Mainly her siblings. I do have her father listed as William W. Williamson, died in Saltillo, Hardin Co., TN and her mother as Nancy Bryant, died in Hardin Co., TN

Any other information would be helpful. Thank you.

MITCHELL, NICHOL of N. Henderson/S. Carroll Cos.

RBNichol — 19 Jul 2008 9:54:23 GMT

About 1827, my gg-grandfather David NICHOL (often recorded with an 's' on his surname) married Martha MITCHELL, one of two daughters of William Pleasant MITCHELL and Rebecca COLEMAN. David was a farmer and master tanner living by the Big Sandy River in Carroll Co., just north of the Henderson Co. line; the MITCHELL family apparently lived in northern Henderson Co., around present-day Wildersville.

Thanks to a wonderful chronicle written in 1904 by Martha's nephew Lafayette W. MITCHELL, I know a lot more about her life and times than I do about David NICHOL. Does anyone out there have anything? All I have from Carroll Co. are some land records and an 1833 bill of sale in which David sold his tannery business to Daniel COLEMAN before departing for Kentucky.

barkers of Henderson County Tn

DorisBucher92 — 1 Dec 2001 3:05:24 GMT

To those researchers of James Harvey Barker born 1840. I have seen information in a court document that Kenderick Barker was his father and Mary A. was their mother. Kenderick died 1845 according to the Barker family bible. I found the other information in a microfilm of court documents and bible documents of Henderson County. He was listed as Kendrake in the 1840 census. I had seen info prior that his family came from Guilford County NC. Robert was some how related.

Cemeteries in/near Crucifer late 1800s and/or obituaries

JimEllenS — 15 Jun 2008 9:31:36 GMT

Does anyone know what cemeteries are located around the Crucifer area that would have been used from the 1860s to the 1880s? I'm searching for the resting places of Squire Stevens, John Loving, and Siney/Sina Loving, all of whom resided in or near Crucifer at the time of their deaths. Allen K. Loving/Lovin/Loven would have died there in the early 1900s, so his grave location might lead me to theirs.

I'm also looking for the names/locations of newspapers in the area where deaths might have been noted during this time period.

Thank you.

Mary Lowe 1833-?

mistdreamr1 — 24 Apr 2008 6:32:21 GMT

I am trying to find info on Mary Unknown, b 1833 in TN, death date unknown. She married James Moffit Lowe. I find her, widowed in Henderson co in the 1880 census. With her are sons George L, b 1858; Hezekiah Franklin, b 1860/61 and James B. F., b 1863.

Hezekiah married Rowena Lowe in 1885 in Parker co TX.

In 1860 and 1870 the family were found in Decatur co TN. I can't find Mary in the 1900 census in either TN or TX, so I'm guessing that she died in that interim. Does anyone know anything about this family?

Looking for Tom Shackelford born 1874 in Henderson?

jonesca9 — 1 Jan 2008 6:12:14 GMT

I am looking for my grandfather's burial place. His name was Tom Shackelford, born in Tennessee around 1874-75, possibly Henderson Co. He married Beulah Rowland, my grandmother, as his second or possibly third wife, and they moved to Mississippi about 1923. Tom later left his wife and children and went back to Tennessee, we think, have no record of where he went, but probably Henderson Co.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. My mother is his last living child that we know of, was put into a Mississippi orphanage in 1928-30, so have had some difficulties tracing her family. Thanks for any help!

John Middleton of Maury County Tn, And his son Alfred Henderson County

WilliamMiddleton51 — 11 Dec 2007 2:21:48 GMT

John was my 6th great grandfather

I have seen many websites and had many emails from people saying John Middleton Maury County Tn, Was the son of Richard IV Middleton. Babados line of Middletons

But how could this be? DAR Records state that Richard IV Middleton did have a son named John, but he died in Chesterfield Dist. SC 1800.

John Middleton of Maury county Tn, was in Greensville County Sc, in 1800.and in Maury County by 1820.

There is a book by Marise Parrish Lightfoot called Let the Drums Roll: Veterans and Patriots of the Revolutionary War who Settled in Maury County, Tennessee. In her book she writes.

John Middleton, Senior, b. between 1750 & 1760, Ireland and migrated to South Carolina before the
Revolutionary War. He received payment for militia duty in South Carolina during the years 1779 and

1782. He executed his will on April 17, 1831, and died between that date and June 23, 1831, when the will

was probated in Maury County, Tennessee. In his will he named his wife, Rebecca and two sons, Alfred and Drury.

Also I have found more false information. There is a old family story about John being in Lee's legion in the Revolutionary War.

I went to DAR with this and found out this not to be true, There was a John Middleton in lee's but he died way before our John Middleton did in Sc.

Johns son Alfred Middleton moved to Henderson county Tn,
and lived in Ebenezer.

The name Ebenezer was given this community by Col. Alfred Middleton. He was very religious and it is believed he took this name from the Bible.

Alfred Middleton, the first settler,came in l833. He settled here because deer were exceedingly abundant. The first house in this community was built in 1833.

It stands, slightly remodeled, a short distance from its original sight of erection and is occupied by Mr. M. L. Volner.

Soon after he settled Col. Middleton gave four acres of land on which to build a church. This church burned in 1886. In the same year the present one was erected. It is not known who the first pastor was. The present pastor is Rev. J. C. Bishop.

So who was John Middleton 1760- 1831 Maury County Tn,

kbblun — 17 Sep 2007 5:17:28 GMT

I am looking for information on the family of Abraham and Catherine Green who appear on the 1850 census in Henderson Co., TN. Abraham is listed as born in NC abt. 1807; his wife Catherine is listed as born in TN abt. 1822 (I don't know if this is accurate as first child in household is only 11 years younger!).
Children listed are:
Lydia b. abt. 1833 TN

Greenbury b. abt. 1837 TN
Susan b. abt. 1840 TN
Joseph b. abt. 1843 TN
Mary b. abt. 1844 TN
?Comdes (not sure about this name) b. abt.1847 (female)
twins Sarah and Nancy b. 1850 TN

I have been unsuccessful in trying to locate this family in any other census. I am trying to find out if the Mary Green in this family is the same person as my Mary P. Green b. 1844 who married L. Samuel Stout in Lafayette Co., MS in 1859 and later married John Ashley Austin in 1866 in Madison Co., TN.

I am also trying to place an Arahn (Aaron?) T. Green, b. abt. 1855 in TN, who is listed in the 1870 census for McNairy Co., TN in the household of John and Mary (Green) Austin.

Any information on this family would be appreciated.

JAMES BAILEY — 8 Aug 2005 7:32:12 GMT

I am doing some research on my husband's family. I have hit a wall concerning his GGF, J. T. Bailey, b. 1876 d. 1945. All my father-in-law remembers is that J.T. Bailey m. Rosa B. and had children, Isaac Luther (I.L.) b. Feb 10, 1900, Esther, and others (names unknown). My father-in-law also remembers that J.T. was a blacksmith in Trimble or Parsons in Lake County. I am guessing this job might be in the mid 1900's. Is there any info or help you can provide us?

Thanks,

Also surviving is her brother, James Henry Hill (Mary) of Sumter, South Carolina. Preceding her in death were her beloved husband Colonel James Fred Mitchell, her grandson Cary Thomas Mitchell of Auburn, Alabama and her brother Billy Hill of Brewton, Alabama. After the early death of her father, Sybil was raised by her step-father, Rich Hill and mother Thelma Hill. Accordingly, growing up she was sometimes called Sybil Hill. She was educated in the public schools of Brewton, Alabama and was a 1940 graduate of T. R. Miller High School. On April 20, 1942 she married James Fred Mitchell, son of Jesse Robert and Sallie Grimsley Mitchell of Scotts Hill, Tennessee.

During the military career of her husband she was active in the Officers Wives Clubs both in the United States and Europe. She was named Woman of the Year in 1980 by the Greater Brewton Area Chamber of Commerce. In announcing the award, Brewton City Councilman Bryars Byrd said "Mrs. Mitchell embodies everything that a woman can and should stand for. She has been a loyal helpmate to her husband, a mother to her own four children and to numerous foster children. The family will receive friends on Friday, February 9, 2007 from 5-7 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Brewton, Alabama. A Service of Celebration and Remembrance of the Life of Sybil Frances Mitchell will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 10, 2007 at the Brewton First Baptist Church with the Reverend Jack Fitts officiating. Internment will follow at Union Cemetery in Brewton with Williams Memorial Funeral Home directing. The family can be contacted at P.O. Box 654, Brewton, Alabama, 36427.

Daniel Murphy Anson Co., NC b. 1763 moved to Henderson Co. by 1840

Freida Barnett — 25 Oct 2006 2:33:28 GMT

I am seeking info on any Murphy or Gates who lived in the Henderson County area of this or earlier time period. Also Margaret Murphy. Daniel Murphy (1763) was the father of Daniel H. Murphy head of house in 1840 Henderson Co Census. Does anyone know of any of these names in any local cemetery. Any input appreciated!

Daniel Murphy

Kim Sharp — 28 Oct 2006 9:15:56 GMT

I have been researching Mark Murphy married to Elizabeth in Decatur and Perry Co. TN. Do you think Daniel and Mark could be brothers? Mark was in the 1870 Decatur Co. TN census with a Kisiah, but I don't think she is Martha Kissah Tye married to Daniel Murphy as I originally thought. There is too much of an age difference. I have gone in on your site.I would very much like to correspond with you on this family. Thank you, Kim Sharp

Fate of Joshua Preslar, Jr from Anson County, NC?

JasonPresley1 — 3 Oct 2006 7:45:11 GMT

Does anyone know what happened to the Joshua Preslar, Jr. (born about 1810, son of Joshua Preslar & Susannah Parker) who moved his family from Anson County, North Carolina to Henderson County, Tennessee between 1851-1853? He married Margaret [-?-] about 1839 and had at least nine children:

Thomas P. Preslar was born 1840 NC
Sarah E. Preslar was born abt 1842 NC
James H. Preslar was born abt 1844 NC
Hugh Daniel Preslar was born abt 1846 NC
Nancy A. Preslar was born abt 1849 NC
S.E. Preslar was born abt 1851 NC
W.M. Preslar was born abt 1853 TN
Joshua Preslar was born abt 1857 TN
F.C. Preslar was born abt 1859 TN

Joshua & family show up in the 1850 Anson County census. By the 1860 census, they show up in Henderson County, but oldest son, Thomas, is no longer with the family. By the 1870 Henderson County census, Joshua is no longer listed and Thomas is listed with his wife and 3 children.

There wasn't a will as far as I could find in the Henderson County records, Joshua isn't listed in any of the cemeteries in the county and neither can I find any deed activity involving him.

I believe my 3rd great grandfather, Thomas Parker Presley, is that oldest son, but have been unable to locate any documentation that specifically establishes that, merely the 1870 census with Thomas living in Henderson with an age that matches. Thomas and family ended up settling in Dyer County. Participation in the Presley-Pressley DNA Surname Project has revealed 25/25 marker matches with several known descendants of the Johannes Valentin Pressler descendants who settled in Anson County (as well as a 36/37 and 34/37 marker match).

Rhodes Families in Henderson County TN in 1840

jamesrhodes73 — 22 May 2002 1:47:18 GMT

In the 1840 Census, I have found 14 Rhodes families, including: William, James, William Sr., C.H., John, David, A.J., Israel, Richard L., Elvis S?, McComus, William, Polly, and Randol. I am directly descended from David Rhodes and his wife, Elizabeth.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with any knowledge of any of these families and how/if they are related.
