Feb 1843 is apparently buried next to Christian Wells in the Wells cemetery (Wells farm in Maury)PER 'Maury County, Tennessee Cemeteries with Genealogical and Historical Notes, VOL II' Compiled by Fred Lee Hawkins. this David & Christian are listed as the parents of 'a' Samuel Wells b. 25 Feb 1809 who is also buried in this cemetery.

All leads would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Debra

JAMESON/JAMISON-HUNTER

ginroun_1 — 3 Oct 2008 11:55:46 GMT

Hello list, I am searching for the death date and buriel of Eugene D Hunter b. cMay 1857 in Maury County and his first wife Mary Alice Jameson b. c1856 in Maury County.

Eugene married Mary Alice Jameson on 20 Nov 1881 in Maury County. Mary Alice must have died before Nov. 1892. Mary Alice was the daughter of William Jameson and Mary Elizabeth Kirby. To date I have found no buriel information in the cemetery books by Fred Hawkins.

Eugene D Hunter next married Jennie N Porter Nov. 1892. They had several children together.

It appears that Mary Alice Jameson's sister Georgiana Jameson married James Mitchell "Mitt" Hunter, brother of Eugene D Hunter.

Does anyone have death and buriel information on Eugene D Hunter and Mary Alice Jameson and anything on their children?

Thank you,

Ginny Merritt Rountree

Query: John Stimpson Case Family, 1870s, Maury Co. TN

Wendy Case — 4 Mar 2002 2:29:21 GMT

Hello all,

I am tracing relatives who were in Maury County, (Middle)TN in the early 1870s and before.

Here are the names:

John Stimpson Case m. Zarita Ann Dawson Smith
1. Lucius Virgile Case b. 2 Jun 1871 in Hampshire, Maury Co.TN
2. Rosville Stimpson Case b. 28 Jan 1873 in Pulaski, Maury Co. TN
3. Eolia Erlene Case (m. James A. Barker), b. 1 Apr. 1875. I have incomplete records on which county she was born in, only that she was born in TN.

I am looking in particular for information on John Stimpson Case's birth information. He would have been born sometime 1830-1850. I am trying to trace his parents, and to do that I need to confirm whether he was born in TN, KY, or NC. I am also looking for migration information - when the family left TN for the TX panhandle. This definitely happened in Lucius' generation. Family lore has it that Mr. J.S. Case disappeared on a trip to somewhere in TN to settle a land parcel deal, and never returned home. According to 1880 census info provided me by a kind stranger by the name of Nancy (Thank you again!), Zarita Ann, aka Annie was remarried to a Marion Elleson(Ellison?) and all the Case children mentioned above were with her. Descendants of Lucius relocated in Hall, Armstrong, and Jones counties of Texas.

Anyone with info that strongly connects with what I have laid down here are encouraged to email me.

Kind regards,
Wendy Case
Third great-grandaughter of John Stimpson Case

Baily's and Douglas' of Mt. Pleasant

terrben1956 — 14 Jul 2008 1:19:46 GMT

Looking for info on John Baily, probably born in the Mt. Pleasant area and brother/half brother to Charles (Charlie) Douglas.

Charlie was born in Maury County in 1877 and died there in 1953. He lived in Texas and California between 1900 and 1945.

We are pretty certain that John Baily also moved to North Texas or Oklahoma around 1900 and may have remained in that area throughout his life. We know nothing of the birth parents, so I'm hoping the 2 pictures I've posted will look familiar to someone. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Mt. Pleasant Record Newspaper Article re Pisgah Church

My Grimes ancesters were early members of the Church and I think at one time my great-great grandfather, Lewis Wesley Grimes, was a pastor of the church.

Where to Write for Wills and Settlements from the book MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE WILLS AND SETTLEMENTS 1807-1824 AND 1820 CENSUS

swatrous1202 — 20 Feb 2008 5:26:07 GMT

I have found many long-lost ancestors in a book compiled in 1964 by Jill A. Garrett and Marise P. Lightfoot titled:

Maury County Tennessee
Wills and Settlements
1807-1824
and
1820 Census.

It is a wonderful resourse and was available on Ancestry.com. Now, I need to find the actual wills and inventories which the book noted. It is put together refering to a book by alphabet, such as Book C. with a page number.

Does anyone know where I now write in Maury county to get copies of the actual Wills and Inventories?

Thank you.

Nichols, Duke & Edgin

Carolyn — 25 Jan 2006 5:31:04 GMT

Looking for information on Alfred Nichols married to Eleanor (?). In 1850 their children were: James, 11, Jeremiah, 9, Harvey, 8, Newton, 7, Nathan, 5, Manerva, 3, Hugh, 1 and Dansilla Nichols, 31, living with them. I believe Dansilla was Alfred's sister. In the 1860 Maury Co. Census, Alfred is not listed, but another child Sarah , 9 is listed.

In 1850, Green Duke is living next to the Nichols. Green Duke was married to Mary Exaline Nichols. They had a child, William, 2 in 1850, but Mary must have died before the census was taken. Ann Nichols, 62 is living with Green and Wm. Duke. She is believed to the the mother of Mary, Alfred, & Dansilla.

In the 1860 census, Rebecca Edgior (sp) is listed with Eleanor Nichols. In the 1850 census, John Edgin's family is listednest door to the Alfred Nichols Family. The writing is bad and hard to read. I believe it is Edgin. Could Eleanor be an Edgin and Rebecca be her sister?

Any information on any of these families would be appreciated.

Searching for information about family of Jeff HINES b.1859 in Tennessee, died in Johnson County, TX in 1935. Wife first name possibly Julia or Jallia. His father might have been William HINES. His children were born in TN and at least one was born in Mt. Pleasant, TN, but could be Mt. Pleasant in Maury or Greene or Henry counties?

Thomas Baker and Rachel Holly, Maury, TN, 1818-1880

vycurry — 19 Mar 2008 10:24:43 GMT

Hi,
I am looking for a death date for Thomas and Rachel (Holly) Baker. Thomas was born about 1818 in Tennessee and Rachel was born about 1813 in Tennessee. They were married in 1843 in Maury Co., TN.

They had one son, Robert, born about 1844 and possibly a daughter, R.E., born about 1848 who probably died as a child.

They are listed in Maury County, TN is the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census records. The 1850 census also lists Mary A. Holley, age 19, and Jesse B. Holley, age 15. These could be siblings of Rachel or perhaps these are children of a previous marriage.

The 1880 census is confusing because there is a list of children who are said to be the son or daughter of Thomas, but I think they may have actually been the children of his son, Robert.

If anyone has any information on this family I would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Yvonne Curry

Jordan, Bigger and Baughan

stemmatis — 27 Jan 2008 12:22:42 GMT

No, not a law firm.

Three interrelated families appear to have moved from Central Virginia (Prince Edward, Charlotte, Cumberland counties) to Maury County 1836-1840.

In Charlotte County, VA, in 1836, Peyton Baughan married Elizabeth Jordan. Then in 1838, John A. Jordan (sometimes Jourdan) married Lucy Baughan. And in 1839, William Bigger married Mary Dennis Baughan.

In the 1840 census for Maury County, Peyton Baughan was age 20 to 30, as was his wife; with two males and one female under 5. William Bigger was 30 to 40, with a wife 20 to 30, and one boy under 5. John A. Jordan was age 20 to 30, living with his father John P. Jordan (50 to 60), his wife likely either 20 to 30 or 15 to 20.

Seeking any references to these families between 1836 and 1850 in Maury County records.

Spelling variations may include Jordan, Jourdan, Bigger(s), Baughan, Baughn, and sometimes Vaughan.

Children of Bejamin and Elizabeth Wilkes---Washington Lafayette Jefferson Wilkes?

trouble1964 — 3 Jan 2008 2:54:23 GMT

My grandmother, Frances Elois Wilkes Beard, was the daughter of
John Martin Wilkes unknown
and Anna May West b. 14 Mar 1885 in TN and d. 20 Feb. 1967, Columbus, MS at my grandmother's home.
My grandmother had a brother John and a sister Eunice that I remember. She was from the Dyer or Dyersburg, TN area.

John Martin Wilkes was most likely the grandson of
Washington Lafayette Jefferson Wilkes*--b.28 Aug 1824 in Maury County TN d:18 Jun 1887 in Maury County TN.
(*His parents were Washington Lafayette Jefferson Wilkes and Elizabeth Mann)
and
Jane Crockett Love--b.28 Dec 1826 in TN and d. 22 Apr 1885 in Maury County TN. They were married in 1844. Thier other children were

1845-1928 John Love Wilkes
1847-1910 Mary K Wilkes
1850-1921 Susan A Wilkes
1853-1921 Ella Jane Wilkes
1856-1930 William L Wilkes
1869-1947 Sallie Bett Wilkes
John Martin Wilkes

I am thinking that John Martin is the son of one of the children of Washington and Jane Wilkes because I have reason to believe (but not confirm) that he was born in the 1880's, past childbearing age for Jane. He and Anna Mae's first child was born in 1907, Eunice, then John in 1914 and my grandmother in 1918.
Either Eunice or John had a daughter named Wilma who was possibly born in the 1940's.

I am trying to trace this branch of Wilkes, as well as Anna Mae West's relatives. Can anyone link me up with sources? Thanks in advance.

Walker family - early 1800s

stemmatis — 29 Dec 2007 12:20:27 GMT

Various internet sources show that one Washington Walker (probably George Washington Walker, and therefore possibly listed as George Walker in records) died 12 Nov 1814 in Maury County. No source is given.

On 28 Nov 1842, Agness Walker, widow of James Walker of Cumberland Co., VA, executed a power of attorney to Michael Lancaster of Maury county, TN, to recover "from the estate of Washington Walker decd all legacies ... as are now due or owing to me from the said Washington Walker's estate and more especially one fourth part of Jane and Judith Walker who were Legatees of the said Washington Walker decd."

If someone has come across records of any of the persons mentioned above, it would be greatly appreciated if that information could be posted. Is there an estate record? Did he own land? If so, what became of the land?

I am guessing (and only guessing) that Agness, Jane and Judith were sisters of Washington, because Agness is shown as over 45 in 1820 (born before 1775), narrowed to born 1760-70 in the 1830 and 1840 censuses. She would appear be too old to have been a daughter. It also suggests that Jane and Judith had died without heirs as had Washington, leaving Agness and three other surviving siblings (hence her 1/4 portion). But this is wild speculation without facts from someone in Maury County.

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.

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

Harry F. Thompson 1879-????

brianfutrel — 6 Dec 2007 2:40:55 GMT

Harry F. Thompson was born 1879 in Tennessee. He was the son of John Henry and Octavina(Vaughn) Thompson. He appears in the 1880 and in the 1900 census for Maury CO, TN. His family lived in many places in the intervening years. Harry had a brother named Herbert born in TN in 1886, and a sister named Mary born 1880 in TN. After the 1900 census they lived in Springfield, MO., for a short time. I need to find out what happened to Harry and Herbert after that. If you know anything about them, please contact me. Thanks brian

Bebjamin Jones Genealogy

GeraldJones72 — 5 Dec 2007 11:05:38 GMT

Hi,
My name is Gerald Jones. I live in Ramsey, Illinois. I am doing research on the family of Benjamin Jones who settled in Fayette Co, Illinois in 1821.
In the 1811 tax list there is listed a Benjamin Jones in Maury County, Tennessee. Does anyone have any information on a Benjamin Jones and family? By 1810 Benjamin should have had one son born in 1804. His name is Bowling Jones. Another son was born in 1811. Both sons were born in Tennessee.
Sometime before 1818 the Jones Family moved to Washington County, Illinois.
Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
Gerald Jones in Illinois

Hi, I am searching for information on JOHN W. THOMPSON who married MARTHA J. SMITHSON in Maury Co. on Jan. 27, 1850.

Do any of these names link with your research? I have information to share if you are working on these lines.

Thomas & Flora Powell

ElishasDescendant — 17 Nov 2007 10:36:05 GMT

I am looking for information concerning the Thomas Powell who died in Maury County in 1815, leaving wife Flora, and children, Elisha, Zepporrah, Flora and Sarah. The wife, Flora, eventually moved to Missouri where she died at the age of 100+. The daughter Zepporrah married Theofilus Jones in Maury County and later moved to Giles Cunty. The daughter Flora first married an Armstrong and then later Daniel Jones. She moved to Missouri. The daughter Sarah married a Pucket and moved to Missouri. The son Elisha MAY be my ggrandfather, Samuel Elisha Powell, moving to Lincoln County, then McNairy County, then Texas. I am not sure about Elisha and very much want to investigate this possibility.

Anyone with information about these people please reply.

Thanks,
Jerry Powell

I'm looking for information on the Goad's and Bryds who
once lived in Columbia, TN. The only names I have
so far are William Goad (b.10-10-1870) and his wife

and so was their daughter Ethel Goad (6-19-1893).
If anyone has any suggestions on a website I can
get information as to how to find records I'd appreciate it.
I'm trying to find out who their parents were.

Rev. John H. Thompson

brian futrell — 12 Nov 2003 6:33:08 GMT

Reverend John H. Thompson was born 1848 near Memphis. He was a Baptist minister who served a Baptist church in Columbia, TN in about 1895 to 1901. I do not know which Baptist church that he served at. He was married to Octa Vaughn, a native of Columbia, TN. Can anyone tell me anything about this man and what he did while he lived there? I would like to get an obituary for him--he died a little before January 30, 1904 in Missouri. I was hoping that an obituary would exist in Columbia since he was so well known there. Please contact me if you can help. thanks brian in springfield mo

Information about parents of Wm A. Norman and Mary Ann Gibson in TN in the early 1800s.

waitsb — 1 Oct 2007 1:52:10 GMT

I am looking for information about William Allen NORMAN b. 1823 in Maury Co or Bedford Co, TN and his wife Mary Ann GIBSON b. 1829 in Bedford Co, TN. They came from TN to Greene Co MO between 1856 and 1859. Wm A died in 1895 and Mary Ann (his first wife) died in 1879, both in Greene Co MO. They are my 2nd great grandparents on my maternal grandmother Hattie Alice Orr’s side. I would also like evidence that about their parents. For Wm A. Norman I believe they are Robert Potter Norman b. about 1777 in NC and died in 1855 in Perry TN and Martha COFFEE b. about 1795 in GA and died in 1852. For Mary Ann Gibson I believe they are John M Gibson b. 1804 in NC and Martha HARPER b. 1808 in Bedford TN and died in 1849. Again I have no evidence that they are indeed the correct parents. Any evidence will be most appreciated. I would also like to know who the grandparents, etc. were of Wm A and Mary Ann.

I believe the children of Robert P Norman and Martha Coffee are listed below. Any confirmation of this would be appreciated.
Thomas N. NORMAN b: 25 DEC 1817
James C. NORMAN b: 18 APR 1818
Mary Jane NORMAN b: 26 SEP 1819
Eliza E. NORMAN b: 29 NOV 1821
William Allen NORMAN b: 4 AUG 1823
Elizabeth P. NORMAN b: 29 DEC 1827
Martha A. NORMAN b: 26 OCT 1829
Robert Porter NORMAN b: 16 MAR 1836

Finally I would like to communicate by email with anyone who has any of the above folks as ancestors.
Many thanks, Bert Waits waitsb@math.ohio-state.edu

Slave research

dwolshuck — 23 Sep 2007 10:34:38 GMT

Greetings!
I am trying to help a friend start her Maury County genealogy. I found her ancestors in the 1870 Maury County census up to the 1930 census. Before that,they are slaves in Maury County. My questions are: Were slaves buried in a certain part of Maury County? Are there any records of the burials? Are there any slave records of marriages available?
I believe that once they were freed they took on the surname of the slave owner and that's why there are Stevenson's who are listed as white and Stevenson's who are listed as black in the census.
Any help for Maury County research is appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Turney, Smizer 1818 Maury Co Tennessee

Mary — 8 Oct 2002 12:11:15 GMT

Eve Turney born 1780 Shenandoah Co Virginia, d/o Daniel Turney (b 1758 VA) and Susan Matheny.
About 1787 - 1789 the family moved to Kentucky.
1800 Eve Turney married in Kentucky to John Smizer (born 1778 in Maryland). They moved to Natchez - think two of their children were born there. Then they moved to near Columbia, Maury Co Tn. Bought land ca 1818, began to built their house ca 1820 - house named Fairmount.

John Smizer died 1848 Columbia, Eve died 1844. They are supposed to be buried in the Smizer-Booker cemetery on property they owned near their home.

Anyone working on this family? I have 3 of their sons in 1850 census for Maury Co TN, 1860 census they are in Arkansas.

Would like to know more about their house.

Also - who is the Henry Turney in Maury Co TN records, often with John Smizer? I think I have his 1812 military records which say he is from Smith Co TN where my Turneys were located. Who was this Maury Co Henry Turney's father? He eventually moved to Panola Co Texas where he is buried.

GLOVER-WESTMORELAND

Tom Evans — 17 Nov 2000 12:00:00 GMT

DANIEL GLOVER is my ggg grandfather. The ancestry of DANIEL GLOVER has not been found, and it is thought he was born between 1775 and 1780. At the time he married MARY WESTMORELAND in Mecklenburg Co., VA, there was a JOHN GLOVER and wife ELIZABETH, living in that county.

On 21 Jan. 1797, JOHN GLOVER of Brunswick Co., purchased 60 acres in Mecklenburg Co. from WILLIAM THOMASON. On 1 Dec 1807, JOHN GLOVER of Mecklenburg County sold the above tract to DANIEL THOMAS of Brunswick County. (Mec. Co., DB No. 9, p.293; DB No. 13, p.462).

During the residence of JOHN GLOVER in Mecklenburg County (1797-1807), there were three Glover marriages, possibly children of JOHN GLOVER & ELIZABETH NANCE, as follows:

(1) SALLY GLOVER m. CHARLES ROTTENBERRY, 24 Dec 1798

(2) NANCY GLOVER m. WILLIS McKINNEY, 25 Feb 1801

(3) DANIEL GLOVER m. MARY WESTMORELAND, 8 Nov 1806 (their daughter was MARTHA W. GLOVER (b. abt 1808, Brunswick Co., VA, d. abt 1870, Perry Co., TN) m. ALLEN B. EVANS (b. abt 1807, d. abt 1880, Perry Co., TN), I have more info on the descendants of Martha & Allen B. Evans ... wanna exchange?

Hugh McWilliams married Frances Anthony 1814 Maury County, TN

gmbagwell — 28 Mar 2007 10:18:45 GMT

Would anyone know what happened to Hugh McWilliams who was born about 1790 and married Frances (Fannie) Anthony in 1814 in Maury County, TN? I believe his widow is in Shelby County, TN in 1850. I think they had two daughters named Martha and Mary. They may have had a son, Andrew.

JOHN S ROWNTREE and THOMAS ROUNDTREE

ginroun — 24 Mar 2007 2:42:02 GMT

My husband has been involved in the Rountree (any spelling) DNA study. His first 25 markers are returned with 13 remaining markers to be tested. He is with the Family Tree DNA project. There are only two to three members in the project.

The project also has ties to the Huxford study (Wiregrass GA area)and Clan Fraser in Scotland.

Information is available at this link:
http://worldfamilies.net/surnames/r/rountree/index.html

He is a perfect match to John S Rowntree b. 1830 of Spartanburg SC and his descendant.My husband is of proven line of Thomas Roundtree and Eva Sturgis Orange County NC.

This line now has solid proof to a SC connection. Any information on John S Rowntree would be greatly appreciated. If you know of or are connected to him please contact us at ginrounatcomcastdotnet. Remember to change the word "at" and "dot" to the correct form.

Thanks, Ginny

If any of you are like me you have family ties to more than one county in Tennessee. If you have Lawrence County ties and haven't heard, the Lawrence County Archives is producing a family heritage book and you can be a part of it.

Location of cemetery and look up

Catwoman57 — 6 Feb 2007 10:28:08 GMT

I have a Mary Polk Eastin littlefield that died in nashville in 1911 according to her D/c she was buried in columbia. Her obit which I just received says her body was taken to ashwood near Columbia and interment in the old polk burial grounds. Could someone tell me where that is?
She was named after General Polk I believe.
I have also been unsuccessful in finding her grave. I was hoping maybe her parents where buried there also. Sarah Amanda galloway Eastin and John D Eastin. I have found the Eastin name spelled eastern/easton/Eaton etc etc so any help would be appreciated.
or lead me in the right direction. i have also heard there is an ashwod in rutherford county but was hoping the old Polk burial grounds would narrow it down.

Researching Probate/Estate/Wills CAUDLE-BRIDGES 1827-1837

KLynn — 22 Aug 2004 11:13:34 GMT

Francis BRIDGES of Maury Co., TN handled the estate of his father-in-law, one Jesse CAUDLE in 1827, or 1837. Jesse's daughter was Sarah CAUDLE.

Do any Maury Co researchers have the Estates-Wills books for this period and be willing to check the above names?

I am seeking documentation of this "event" & if any "Maury county regulars" can point to my next best bet of where to find it, it would be very appreciated. KLynn

Thomas Waldrum, 16 Jul 1852 in Culleoka, Maury Co., TN

call all descendants of Rawley or Raleigh Madding (1789-1855) !

davyjones — 26 Feb 2007 2:20:18 GMT

Hello Madding/Roberson cousins,
The grave marker of Rawley Madding (1785-1855) was recently discovered in an overgrown, abandoned cemetery in the Bailey Springs area near Florence, Alabama. Rawley was born in Pittsylvania Co. VA, served in the War of 1812 and moved to Maury Co. in the 1820s where he lived until his death. He had 19 living children at the time of his death through marriages to Sally Mays and Sally Bridgeman. Many of these children ended up in W. TN and W. KY including my own 3rd grandmother Anne T. Madding Roberson (wife of Wm. "Billy" Roberson) and many descendants lived (or still live) in the Obion Chapel area between Troy and Hornbeak, with other groups in Lake Co., Fulton Co. KY etc... A young Eagle Scout candidate, Davis Faulkner and his family, friends etc.. in the Florence, AL area are cleaning up, refencing, marking and preserving the cemetery and are planning to hold a dedication ceremony this Memorial Day. They are also looking for funds to help in the restoration of the cemetery (particularly refencing). Please contact me if you are interested in this project. Attached is a photo of Rawley's marker (long thought to have been buried in Maury Co. in an unmarked grave). This is a great project and they have already obtained historic cemetery designation from the State of Alabama. Only about 4 graves are still marked in this cemetery after 160 or so hard years! Help preserve our ancestor's memory for future generations!
I have a small packet of info that I can snail mail if interested.
This link will also take you to my posted info at the rootsweb world connect project:

Thanks, David Jones in Richmond, MI, 3rd great grandson of Billy and Anne Madding Roberson

Edward Cole in Maury Co. in 1820 and 1830

jane_gilbert — 4 Feb 2007 6:46:54 GMT

Does anyone happen to have information on an Edward Cole I see in the 1820 and 1830 census in Maury Co.? He and his family were gone from the county by 1840 to parts unknown. He was born 1780 - 1790 if the 1830 is accurate.

I have a horrible mess with my Cole family in Giles Co., TN just to south of Maury, and I have a single land record that references an Edward Cole who appears in no censuses or any other resources I've found in the county. Obviously I'm wondering if this Edward in Maury Co. could be the same one. If I can find him in the 1850 census and beyond, his information might shed some light on my Coles.

If anyone is feeling philanthropic and would be willing to look in any reference books they have to see if he might referenced somehow with any additional information at all, I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks much.
