Maget family

10Mitchell — 2009-11-01 17:50:43Z

I am seeking obituaries and Bible records of members of the Maget family in Knox County. I have surprising amounts of information about individual Magets, but I am having trouble identifying parents of individuals and establishing family groups.

I descend from Martha Taylor, who married William B.? Maget in 1806 in Knox County. Their daughter Elizabeth Maget married Joseph Harvey Evans in 1804 in Knox County, and the couple eventually settled in souther Iowa. Elizabeth had two brothers who settled in western Missouri. Elizabeth might have had more siblings or half-siblings in Tennessee. I find records of many Magets but I am not sure how to link them.

Both my Evans and Maget families lived in or around Strawberry Plains. Any help appreciated.

I looked on a site that listed a William F Nichelson that died on 9/20/1966 in Knox County, TN. (site: http://register.shelby.tn.us/index.php) There might be an obituary in a local paper that might have more info about family, burial, etc. I hope that this helps and if you need further assistance please let me know.

ROBERT ASA LOVE 1806-1890

lovelittletree — 2009-10-08 03:27:59Z

I'm looking for Robert Asa Love. The first known record of him occurs when he marries Catherine Cain McFarland in 1832. I believe he might be the illegitimate offspring of Col. Robert Love of Revolutionary War fame but have only tenuous evidence to support this link. Robert Asa was laid to rest in McMinn county on 25 AUG 1890. If anyone has any info please write. Thanks!

Met a Tour Guide -Richard Chapman at the Fredericksburg, Va. Battlefield Visitor Center today. Gave me a copy of his great grandfather (James O. Chapman) application for a war pension from the US gov't or State of Viginia in 1902 for service in the Civil War. He was with the 2nd Virginia Infantry. If you think this is the same James O. Chapman I can fax you a copy of this application.

Just saw your posting. My great grandmother was a Franse. My Franse line was in TN and came to MO and that is where the ones that are left are still living.

I would love to exchange information with you. Perhaps I can help you with your Franse line.

Hi,
My grandmother was Jerusha King, born: NOv. 2, 1861. She died on March 1948. She was married to Henry Dickson Maxedon. The lived in Mc Nairy Tenn. I'm wondering is she is related at all to your ancestor.

Noah Hawthorn

jhawthorne7 — 2009-09-13 21:39:42Z

Looking for any information on Noah Hawthorn who was born about 1760 in New Jersey or Ireland, parentage unknown and died between 1821 and 1831. He was a signer of the Cumberland Compact which helped to establish Knowville. His grandson William N. A. Hawthorn was born 1818 Nov. 10, Knox Co., Tennessee. So the family definitely had some roots in Knox County.

Anyone have info on Noah, his daughter Isabella who had William as an illegitimate son with a man named Samuel Monday?

Joseph Price 1879-?

amelia804 — 2009-09-10 19:41:07Z

Joseph J. Price was born in January 1879 in Knoxville, Tennessee. His parents are Thomas Rees Price and Ann (Annie) Maria Richards. Both Thomas and Annie were born in Pennsylvania. Thomas and Annie also had a daughter, Mary, who married Benjamin F. Orr in Knoxville in 1905. Joseph went to the University of Tennessee, I believe. He was listed as a former fraternity member, though I cannot remember which one at the moment. After his father died in 1906, Joseph continued to work in the furniture company (Knoxville Furniture Company). In the 1910 census Joseph (or Joe) was still living with his mother. I am not sure when, but between 1913-1920 Joseph left Knoxville. The story my father told me was that Joe had left to escape running the family business. He headed west and only contacted his family a couple of times later. There also is the possibility that he changed his name. Can anyone help me find Joseph? There are several pictures of him on my genealogy blog, which is listed in my profile.

Sorry, but must ammend my previous post. I went back and took a closer look at the census page and believe Lilians name is actually Silina. Based on this I believe the parents are Jonathon Parker and Selina Monnan who married in Knox county on 30 Jan 1833. Good luck. Don

Re: James Pratt b.1811 or 1813

wcpratt3 — 2009-07-25 13:28:08Z

My records show they were married Jan. 1, 1844 in Dekalb Co. AL. Shows that Elizabeth was from Newberry Dist, SC. I only have her year of birth, 1813, no dates. Who was her father in law, if you know? I see she had 6 children by her first husband, Brooks???. Why they were in Dekalb Co. had to be because James had relatives there, I guess. James had settled in Palmetto, just above Reform in 1830s along with other Pratts. He was a farmer with 600 acres of land.

Re: James Pratt b.1811 or 1813

wcpratt3 — 2009-07-17 06:50:52Z

James and Elizabeth Pratt are buried in Pickens Co. Alabama in the Bethlehem Cemetery in Coal Fire Creek area. They settled in the town of Palmetto, had 6 children, of which James Madison Pratt is their son, and Joel Frank Pratt is his son, and Wilburn Clyde Pratt, Sr. is his son, and Wilburn Clyde Pratt, Jr. is his son, and Wilburn Clyde Pratt, III ( me ) is his son, and my son is Michael Lee Pratt ( b. 1975 ). I'll attach pictures of James and Elizabeth's tombstones later. My email is lutigers@bellsouth.net.

Hi,
I'm glad I got a responce from a Brook. I see where she had children before she married James, so I figured she was married to a Brooks. I've got my family tree all the way to my grandson, if you need it.

Re: Taylor and Miles in Corryton

darleneatlondon — 2009-06-28 01:18:48Z

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I am trying to find some records I lost, my family files are a mess.

I have a 1920 census record from Civil District 5, Knox Co, TN. head of household - Charlie Webster (my g-grandfather), wife - Lizzie. At the end, there is a listing for Harvey Taylor, relationship - father, age 83, birthplace - Virginia. I think Harvey is Lizzie's father rather than Charlie's father.

By 1930, both Harvey and Lizzie were apparently dead and Charlie was living with one of Lizzie's sons.

This is all I know about Harvey. My mother doesn't know ANY of this side of her family--her father died when she was 5 years old, so we know very little.

You have been so nice and helpful, I hope we can help each other.

I have just started working on the family tree and I am at a standstill with Riley and Mary. I know they had a son, George Washington Stansberry around 1889, who would be your great uncle.

Old Pictures (Harold?)

JARCRAM — 2009-06-30 19:35:15Z

I have numerous old photos of people that I would love to find the families too. Here is what information I have, maybe someone could be of some help (I hope). This stuff once belonged to my Great, Great, Uncle Lawerence Ivey Fowler, he passed in 1981. He had stuff (pictures, scrapbooks, etc.) from his 2nd marriage, her name was DOLLY DAVIS, I can't find anything on her I do have their marriage licenses, in the pictures there is a man named HAROLD, he was in the navy and in one of the pictures it was taken during bootcamp in Dec. 1942. I have later photos but have NO idea who they are of. They are very OLD pictures dating back to the early teens and I wish I could locate the family of these photos. Thanks so much for your time.

John Sutton Information Request

puffyfaye — 2009-07-08 03:00:45Z

Looking for any information on a John Sutton who lived in Knox County, Tennessee in 1830. According to the 1830 Knox County Census Records he had 2 boys under 5 YOA, 2 girls between 10-15 YOA, and a wife between 40-50 YOA. He himself, was listed between 50-60 YOA. I think that this gentleman may be my 4th Great-Grandfather, but I'm not sure. According to my 3rd Great-Grandfather's Death Certificate, he was born in Knox County, Tennessee in 1825 to a John Sutton. I'm hoping to locate some names for the kids and wife.

Thanks,

James Sutton

Is this the right place to post a lookup request? If not, I apologize. I'm looking for information on Martha Parker, born January 10, 1840 in Knox, Tennessee. I have info about her after her marriage to Wm. H. Tillery, and we have infomation after she moved to Missouri. I need records prior to 1859, before she married, such as who are her parents and siblings. Thank you in advance.

Re: Can I post a lookup request here? Martha Parker, b Jan 10, 1840, Knox TN

Are you interpreting the actual handwritten census? Could Selina's last name be Norman? I can find very few references to a Monnan anywhere on the internet. It's so hard to read those handwritten census records. Again, I do appreciate your help.

I wonder if these Parkers are of Cherokee descent...and wonder how I could find out.

Ewww, poor grammar. Sorry.
