William Hayes/Samantha Coleman

sesamecat — 20 Mar 2008 3:13:19 GMT

Hello, Hayes researchers - just some updates about William/Bill Hayes --

Upon looking at William's 1930 census more carefully, it states his first marriage was at 21, which would make it 1886. Samantha's first marriage was at 22, which would have been 1892, with Bill, presumably. So, it follows he was married before??

I've got a copy of his death certificate from Polk County, which had his dates of birth, 28 Jan 1865, and death, 19 July 1939, but no parents' names. The last residence is listed as Farner, TN. His son Sylvester was the informant. No cause of death listed - died at 1:00 p.m. The certificate not signed by a MD until 8/17/1939 - Dr. H. P. Hyde.

His place of birth is listed differently on many documents - on the death certificate it's Polk County, TN.

Here's the census info:

1900 8th Civil District, Ducktown, Polk County, TN (he lists his place of birth as Georgia, same for his parents)
Samantha's had 5 children; 4 living.

1910 Hothouse Township, Cherokee County, NC (he lists place of birth as Georgia for himself, North Carolina for his parents). Samantha's had 10 children; 8 living.

1920 Polk County, TN (he lists his place of birth as Georgia for himself and parents)

1930 Polk County, TN (he lists his place of birth as NC; parents' as United States)

There are delayed birth certificates for Effie A. - 11 Dec, 1909; Lillie L., 10 Feb 1895; and Wilburn M., 20 Aug 1902; all in Cherokee County, NC.

Questions: which two died? I haven't found anything further on Earnest as an adult, but is there another child I've missed?

Does anyone know anything about a prior marriage? Does anyone have a copy of their marriage certificate, if there was one?

Does anyone have a copy of any bible entries regarding the family?

That's it for now - many thanks.

Hi!
I am trying to do some research for a dear friend - her mother was Vesta Jean Postell. Her father was Reno Postell and mother was Vesta Pack. I believe Reno was born around 1898.

I believe Reno and Vesta Postell are buried in Polk County-does anyone have a Polk County Cemetery Book that could do a look-up?

If these names sound familiar in any way, I would appreciate any help or being pointed in the right direction!!

Thanks so much in advance!

debbiebrazil — 25 Oct 2007 11:51:33 GMT

Male baby born on March 21, 1960, in Tennessee. He was removed at some point and placed at a home for boys in Carroll county, Georgia. Possibly the Strawbridge Home for Boys. A couple from Muscogee county, Georgia went there and got him, and took him home and adopted him when he was about 10 months old. I know that this is not much to go on, but any help or advise would be appreciated.

Graham's in Polk County.

archangel8103 — 4 Sep 2007 3:23:45 GMT

I was wondering if anyone knows anything regarding the Graham's families that lived in Polk County, TN during the 1850-1860 census. It seems there was quite a few Graham's living in the county in both of those census years and then in 1870 I cannot find any? Was this one big family that migrated somewhere else? The line I come from moved to Hardin Co, Ky by the 1880's. It just seems odd that that many people with the same name would all pick up and leave around the same time frame. What reason's could their have been to move???

Angelina McClanahan Smith

BettyPhillips962 — 21 Feb 2005 4:14:48 GMT

I am researching Angeline McClanahan Smith, who may be related to Martin Bates b.1814 in Rutherford Co. NC D. Polk Co Tn. Angeline is listed as a neighbor to John and Mary Bates children of Martin in the 1870 census for Polk Co. TN.

M.AngelineMcClanahan b.06/08/1845 d. 05/0/1875 was married to John Smith Jr. in McMinn/Polk Co.,Tn 12/13/1866. The only reference to her is in the Smith family Bible and in the 1870 Polk Co.,Tn census

John Smith 26
Angeline 25
Martha J. 1

There seems to be a reference to her as a Bates (maiden name)so McClanaham might be her married name.

Does anyone have any information that might connect these families. Since she is close in age to John and Mary Bates I thought their father Martin might be her uncle. I am looking for her parents.

Harbart T. McCay

McCay10 — 19 Apr 2007 5:22:18 GMT

McCays, Polk Co., and McCaysville, Fannin Co. were named for H. T. McCay (son of Daniel S. McCay) can anyone help with additional information on H.T. McCay?
Where exactly was his farm land and business? How did he obtain these properties?
Did something go wrong, is that why there is no information or pictures of him or family on Polk Co. and Fannin Co. sites? His first wife was Telitha F. Cook, 2nd wife Marg. Witt.
Does anyone know about his life? Other than what is written "he was large farm and business owner who McCays then McCaysville were named after" I can't find anything about him.
Any information would be appreciated very much.

My Dad was George Magness. His Mom was from Benton Tenn. At least that is where we visited her sister. His Mother died when he was very young. He would have been on the 1930 cenus. His father's name was Benjamem Huehey (spelled wrong), but everyone called him Spike.

Rymers, Headens, Merrills and Adams in TN

sweetlbr1 — 2 Oct 2006 10:45:31 GMT

I have recently been researching my ancestory and have found that my family is from Polk Co, TN. My great great grandmother was Harriet Rymer, her father was David Rymer, and his father was Eli Rymer. She was born in TN, David was born in North Carolina. Does anyone have any information about them. I know my Great grandmother married a William H. Headen, and they moved to Castlewood, Va where they died. My great grandmother Emma Dell Headen from TN, had a child, my grandmother Grace, who's father was Joseph Merrill. He was also from TN. (Adams) My grandfather was Moses Hasson Adams from up around Turtletown. His father was Charles N. Adams and his mother was Margaret M. Robison or Robinson.

Ducktown , Copperhill help.

tundabear — 15 Dec 2006 10:03:38 GMT

My grandfather Charlie Ward married to Dollie Burgess lived in these location of Ducktown, Copperhill where my Aunt Gertrude Ward was born. I believe he was a miner moved to Dahlonega after awhile. I am in desperate need of any thing any one can tell me to end this puzzle.

This is my problem my grandfathers name was suppose to be Charlie Ward his parents were Emma Mortis and Sam Ward.

Now Emma Mortis is listed on the 1880 census with two kids Sam and Susan Mortis but not Charlie who seems to be about the same age as the boy name Sam. Now my cousin who I only know online told me that some old lady told her that Charlie Ward had another name Mortis and that he went away and came back with the Ward name. My cousin did not know where the Mortis name came from.

I sent for Charlie Wards death certificate just by luck I guess when my mom told me he had died 10 years before she met my father and she met him 1950 so I guess 1941 and I was right. I got the certificate and it said his mother was Emma Mortis and his father Sam Ward and that he was born in White County in 1856.

However, we learned where the Mortis name came from but, there is no Sam Ward who was to be his father anywhere in Georgia at that time and Emma Mortis shows up only on that one Census record for Lumpkin county in 1880.

Now my father was Monroe Sam Anderson Ward and on the 1880 census the Andersons lived in the same location as Emma Mortis. Does she belong to that family or does Sam Ward the father.

Was Mortis Emma's maiden name or was she married to a man name Mortis and there are none of them in Georgia either at that time.

Did she change her name to Ward and if she did where and when?

How did most of the Ward sons have Andersen/Anderson on their records then remove it?

Is Emma a Andersen, Mortis or other?

What happened to Sam Mortis and Susan Mortis?

Where did Emma Mortis go she simply disapeared off all census records after 1880. Any help would be great

Buckner Walker

quest23blue — 8 Dec 2006 10:58:59 GMT

Buckner Walker, born 1806 GA, TN or ? Summary Information

From the start Buckner Walker is difficult to research to say the least, as very few facts are consistent in his life and that of his family. Several points need to be established in order to confirm this family.

Along with the constant transcription errors and name slaughtering done by Ancestry.com and the lack of information available for the state of Georgia before 1820 this problem creates a real dilemma for any researcher to try to sift thru, let alone a legal professional. A little luck and a profound love of ones family is what is needed here to sort thru the facts to get at the real truth of just who is the family of this Buckner Walker and where his name originates from.

Buckner is first found in 1827 in Hall County, Georgia where he is found on the Indian land lottery list. Where he has received lands in Lee County, as listed below

Fortunate Drawers: Buckner Walker,
Captains District: Roberts

District: 19
County: Lee County

I at the onset of my research I thought that Buckner may have been the son of West Walker Sen. who is found in 1830 in Hall County, Georgia the more that I researched Buckner and his family, the more that I was swayed against this idea. One of the main reasons for this is that the names are not consistent enough to establish a sound relationship. At times this doesn’t mean a lot but in this case I believe that it does.

The family of West Walker, follow a pattern that is not consistent with those of Buckner Walker and his brother Memory Walker, Some have assumed that Memory Walker was the son of West, this I believe is an error and unless I see a Will to prove otherwise I contend that Memory Walker is the brother of Buckner and that these two men although they might be related to West Walker they are not his sons.

By 1830 Buckner Walker is found in Habersham County, on page 66 of the census listed as follows

1830 Federal Census Habersham Georgia

Buckner Walker, Household listed as 200010000000010001 listed on page 66. Two males 0-4 One male 20-29 One female 0-4 One female 20-29

Also found listed in 1830 in Habersham County is Buckner Walker’s mother in law Mary Ann Feeland nee Howland. Her husband was Isaac Freeland who died in Franklin County, about 1820 he is believed to have been born in England and his wife in Virginia, their daughter Saleta Freeland married Buckner about 1824.

Isaac and Mary Ann Freeland had four known sons, Howell, Isaac Jr. John, and Jeremiah H. Freeland. The Freeland’s play a large part in the research of this Walker family and I believe that they have a long history together.

West Walker may be an uncle of Buckner Walker but this I find doubtful as well, as I believe that the Rebecca Walker found in the 1840 census in Lumpkin County Georgia on census page 24 is his mother and neither, Memory Walker or Buckner names a child after her.

Now if you go by just the census records one would believe that West Walker Sen. Abner, West Jr. Memory Walker, Rebecca, and Micajah Walker are all related as they are all found grouped together on page 24 of the 1840 census for Lumpkin County, grouped as such. Line #17 Rebecca Walker, line # 23 West Walker Jr. line #26 Abner Walker, line # 27 West Walker Sen. Line # 28 Memory Walker. On page 25 line # 3 Micajah Walker.

In 1830 in Hall county Georgia you find on page 114 Memory Walker , page 112 Micajah Walker, page 132 West Walker Sen. One may ask if these men are not related why are they in the same county and yet Buckner Walker is off on his own? If you look at the 1827 Indian Land lottery you will find the answer to this question Buckner Walker and Memory Walker were from the Hall County, area these other Walkers were not. They came from Jones County same as Rebecca Walker and drew into this area by lottery. Buckner Walker in 1830 was in Habersham County and in 1840 moved to Forsyth County, with his brother in law Isaac Freeland.

Howell Freeland moved to Polk County, Tennessee shortly after his marriage in 1833 with his father in law Jesse Campbell who was born in 1787 in South Carolina. Memory and Buckner Walker moved to Polk County, about 1849.
John and Jeremiah Freeland are found in the 1840 census in Lumpkin County, I believe that Mary Freeland the mother is found in 1840 in the household of Memory Walker in Lumpkin County. And as stated Isaac Freeland, is in Forsyth County, near Buckner Walker in 1840.

The facts as I see them are this, the brother of Buckner Walker, is Memory Walker and possibly a James and John Walker, I believe that they were orphaned young and were unsure as to where or when they were born. What leads me to this conclusion is the fact that neither, Memory or Buckner, are consistent in their birth dates or place of birth leading one to believe that this is due to the death of their parents at a young age.

There are several points that lead me to conclude that these two men are linked together and I will cover them one at a time. Point # 1 Buckner named a son Memory after his brother. Point # 2 the name Memory is odd enough to set it apart from that of the more common names. Point # 3 the Freeland family had close ties to both of these Walker men ie the Freeland sons living near Memory Walker in 1840 and Mary Freeland in the household of Memory Walker. Point # 4 Howell Freeland moved to Polk County, Tennessee from Lumpkin County, Georgia Memory and Buckner both moved to Polk County, to the same District at the same time and are found living close to each other. Jeremiah Freeland also moves at this same time. Point # 5 both Buckner and Memory Walker named sons John, and James, and a daughters Mary Ann.

Some other researchers have tied Memory Walker as a son to West Walker and I believe that this is an error due to the facts that I have laid out. The other point is the fact that both Memory and Buckner both came out of Hall County, Georgia before 1825 as proof one must study the Indian land lottery grants. Both men from the same county drew lands in another county’s. This is why they are not found together until 1850.

It is very easy to see why some researchers have made the mistake of adding Memory Walker to the Family of West Walker, from the census information.

I must state again West Walker may be related to these two men but I doubt he is the father. The clue to who may be the father of Buckner and Memory Walker may be found in the names of the children, and to find this one must look to the names that have been repeated over and used again. It is not a stretch to think that the family would want to keep the (Memory) of their father alive, and no the word memory was put in caps for a reason. If the children were orphaned at a young age it would be understandable if the ages and place of birth is off. I believe that the father of these two men based on what I have seen is a man by the name of Memorable Walker who died about 1804 in Elbert County, Georgia. This Will, I’m sure holds the keys to this family’s heritage and should be ordered for more clues to the children. Memory aka Memorable Walker is not a common name and this I believe is the best place to start researching.

Now the name Buckner is also a rarity and sparks many questions that should be answered. It is certain that Buckner is derived from the Buckner family and is that of a last name and a means to honor and keep the family name alive as was the custom of the day. Now this can lead one to search their roots in the wrong place looking for where their family might fit in. I believe that this question can also be answered by looking to ones other family members.

Researching migration patters as I do, I have learned that most of the early settlers had long time roots with those of other family’s that lived close by them, they inner married and traveled together lived and died together. Some of these friendships were formed from the Revolutionary war and carried on for many generations.

I believe that the Freeland, Walker, and Buckner family’s had these same ties from the past. A case in point would be Freeland Buckner born 1802 in Georgia he can be found in the 1827 Indian lottery lists and in the 1860 census in Monroe County, Georgia he is very elusive to say the least as he too has had his name slaughtered by transcription errors. It is not by chance that these three names cross paths as they do. This indicates a long family history that I am sure will be lead to a better understanding of how all this information fits together. I should note here that in the 1860 census for Monroe County, lists Freeland Buckner as Frelin. I have looked at the 1860 tax lists and his name is clearly Freeland Buckner, this is clearly the same man.

It should also be noted that there was a Jesse Walker who died interstate around 1804 that came from Grandville County, North Carolina that may play a role in this family. The Walker’s from Grandville County, claim ties to my Captain George Walker who died in Bledsoe County, Tennessee in 1833. Researchers who have an interest in this family should research both of these two families.

Below I will leave the end notes for family researchers to follow the trail to these individuals that I have listed above as they can be very elusive to find in the census records. I am not related to this Buckner Walker that I know of but have done some extensive research on him and offer this research in hopes that it will help others.

There is no sign of Robert H Walker, Isaac N. Walker, Buckner Walker b. 1846 , or William Walker . This causes me to believe that these children are not Buckner and Saleta Walker’s children but those of a possible brother as they do not show up until the 1860 census and are too young to be on their own in 1850

I believe that the older female living with Memory Walker in Lumpkin County Georgia is none other then Mary Freeland. This makes sense due to the fact that two of her believed sons are in this same County. and Buckner Walker being in Forsyth County With her other son Isaac Freeland.

Mary Freeland is believed to have died in Lumpkin County before 1850. I have found no Will to date for Mary or Isaac Freeland. For more information one must search the court documents for more clues as they would have been recorded in some form if they owned anything of value and they did.

Freeland Buckner is found in the 1860 census for Monroe County Georgia and lists his birth date and place as 1802 in Georgia Family 190-187 page 731 he is listed as Frelin Walker but the tax list for 1860 Says Freeland Walker so I know that this is the same man.

Lisa Spies Swinford — 15 Jul 2004 11:36:55 GMT

I am looking for a Swinford family who show up in the 1860 census of Bradley, TN. It lists, Patsey(40) Susan (24) John (16) Luci (14) Betsey (9) and Samuel (3) I am researching John Swinford. Did this family come from S.C? Supposedly John Swinfords father was born in S.C. but I don't know his name or any other information. Patsey is listed as a spinster, so are these her children and something happend to the father in S.C? The John Swinford I am looking for was born Jan. 1, 1945 in TN., and died September 11, 1927 in St. Francois County, TN. He married Louisa May Smith in TN. Her father was Peter Smith, and mother was Martha E. Watkins. I haven't been able to trace him back any farther. Please email me if you have information. Thanks. Lisa

Isaiah/Josiah Goforth, b. abt. 1797 TN,

srue133 — 3 Jul 2006 9:53:36 GMT

I am trying to find information regarding an Isaiah/Josiah Goforth, who was born around 1797 in Tennessee. He married an woman listed as "Easter" in the 1850 Polk County census. Children listed in the census were Daniel, aged 16, Polly, aged 13, John, aged 11, Jesse, aged 9, Frederick, aged 7, Eveline, aged 4, and Isaiah, aged 1.

I believe that my son's line continues through John. I am trying to find more information about the family, primarily John Goforth.

I do know that my son's great-grandmother is Clara M. Goforth, daughter of Willie and "Airy" Goforth of Pickens County, GA. Willie was born around 1904 in TN. Airy was born around 1906 in Georgia. I'm trying to find out if Willie is the son of Isaac and Mattie Goforth, who lived in Bradley County, TN in the 1920 census, with children John, Willie, Cora, Albert, Alvin, Ethel, (F)Letcher (?) {a son aged 4?}, James, and H.C.

Thanks so much for any help!

BEAVER/S in Polk County

Faded Genes — 2 Aug 2006 3:28:15 GMT

I am looking for an Andrew Brownlow BEAVER/S. I want to find him on the 1900 census because he would have been with his parents at the time.

Here is the information I believe pertains to this Andrew Brownlow BEAVER/S.

He was born in 1882 in either TN, GA or NC. He used the names Andrew, Brownlow, Brown and Andrew B. He married Sarah HAWKINS. in 1910 they were living in Polk County TN; in 1920 they were in Paulding Co GA. In 1930 they were again in Polk Co TN.

He also had family, I believe, in Cherokee Co NC and Union and Fannin Counties in GA

When he applied for his WWI draft card he was living in Copperhill, Polk County, TN. I believe he may have owned a barbarshop in Copperhill along with a Mr. ALLEN.

He may have been the son of John M. BEAVER/S AND Laura or Lorena HINDLEY.

I need to find John and Laura/Lorena on the 1900 census [possibly in Polk Co TN] and Andrew Brownlow in 1900.

Anyhelp anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Allen 1808-1885

BethIvieAllen — 10 Apr 2006 6:44:03 GMT

My husband's great-great-great-great grandfather was Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Allen. "Jeff" was said to have been born in 1808 in Greenville, (or Greenville Co.), South Carolina. He and his family moved to Polk Co., Tennesse about 1847. On his headstone it only has the years of his birth and death of 1808-1885. He was the first person buried at the Tumbling Creek Cemetery, (AKA; Mt. Zion Baptist Church Cemetery), in Polk Co., Tennessee.

Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Allen 1st married Mary Jane Crawford. Mary was born about 1812 in possibly South Carolina.

"Jeff" and Mary had the following children;
Jesse Crawford Allen (my husband's line)
John Allen
(Rev.) Hannibal Allen
Thomas "Tom" J. Allen
Missouri Allen
Mary (or May) Allen
George W. "G. W." Allen
James M. Allen
Catherine Allen (this child, we don't know if she was a daughter, adopted daughter, or a grandchild that was living in "Jeff's" household. We need more information about her.

"Jeff" married 2nd, Susan Head on 17 Jan. 1858 by David Withrow (JP). Don't believe "Jeff" and Susan had any children together.

If anyone has any information about Thomas Jefferson Allen, his parents, his siblings, and his children, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
