I am looking for any information on Elizabeth Riley Hull, the mother of Cordell Hull of Pickett County. If there is a researcher out there with geneological lineages or other data on this person, I would really like to hear from you.

She was born March 30, 1923 in Byrdstown, Tennessee to Albert and Ethel Cross Foster. She moved with her family to the Richmond area as a teenager. Josephine worked many jobs, but her true calling was as an accomplished seamstress. Most recently she held the position of supervisor of interiors at Bev's Threads in Richmond. She was a very creative woman. She was a published poet who also loved to draw and could play several string instruments including mandolin, guitar, violin, and autoharp. Josephine loved nature and had a broad knowledge of the medicinal properties of many plants. She had "a green thumb".
She would collect plants while traveling, bring them home, and plant them in her yard. Everything seemed to flourish in her care. She was known for growing a vegetable garden and canning every year, but especially for her most remarkable rhubarb patch. Family was the center of her life, and she was the center of her family. Family dinners were always at Grandma Jo's house.
She took great pride in her family and was a very loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Survivors include her daughter: Judith Brannam Sharp of Cincinnati, OH; sister: Vivian Weimer of Greenfield, Indiana; daughter-in-law: Catherine Brannam of Liberty; six grandchildren: Dana Risch and her husband Damian of Brownsville, Geoffrey Patterson of Brownsville, Amanda Patterson of Oxford, OH; Bill Brannam and his wife Jessica of Carmel, Indiana; Clinton Brannam and Clayton Brannam, of Liberty; eight great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and good family friend: Lowell Burwell of Liberty.
Josephine was preceded in death by her parents; a daughter: Faye Brannam Payne; a son: Robert M. Brannam; two brothers: Allen Foster and Shirley Foster; two sisters: Beatrice Shannon and Alberta Gilliam; and her beloved dog: Amy.
Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Saturday at Showalter Blackwell Long Funeral Home, Fosdick Chapel, Liberty with Elder Lowell Burwell and Bishop Dan Parker of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Connersville officiating. Internment will follow in Goshen Cemetery, Wayne County.

I am trying to find the location of my Grandma's Grandpa Pryor's farm. I have found him in the 1930 Pickett Co. Census in Civil Dist. 5, Enumeration district 7. His name is William George Allen Pryor and is listed as George Pryor on the 1930 census. My grandma remembers the farm was "in the valley", near a little stream. I am taking a trip to Pickett County and am hoping at least to photograph the right general area. Could anyone shed some light on what mountains are around the Byrdstown area?
Thanks!

Soldier in War of 1812

Harold — 25 Apr 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Cpt Wiley Huddelston had a company in the War of 1812 made up of soldiers from what was later to become Pickett Co. TN. I have located that list and you can order a copy for $5.00 it will take you up to 6 weeks to get it via mail. If anyone wants to go to Nashville and get it you can have it much sooner. Since this was in Overton Co. in 1812-1814 time period there may be people from Overton Co. on it as well. But according to my source "History of Overton County" by Robert L. & Mary Eldridge the men in this company were from the northern part of Overton Co. that part that became Pickett and Fentress Co. No I do not have a copy of the list. One can only order one thing each 6 weeks and right now I am in the precluded zone. Send me an email and give me your email address if you want this information.

Joshua Bernard Garrett Sr. b. 1765 d. 1835

ayerdg — 22 Jul 2007 7:55:27 GMT

Looking for descendants of Joshua Bernard Garrett Sr. b.1765 in Amelia County Virginia. I am particularly interested in his son Joseph Garrett b. aft 1783 and more specifically in the time after they moved from Virginia to Overton County Tennessee. I have seen information listing his wife as Juda. I feel there were two wives with different family’s over Joseph’s lifetime. There seems to be missing information on the 1820 census for Overton County. It shows two males under 10. Does anyone have any information as to who these two males are? I am finding circumstantial evidence that may point to one being named Stephen b. 1810 and the other could be Joseph Jr. b. 1814. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Don Ayer
