Overall/Bowers Atoka, Tennessee

crystalriver103 — 22 Aug 2008 4:50:24 GMT

I am searching for information on my Great Grandmother and her parents. She was Eula Ardeen (Arden?) Bowers, born in Atoka, Tennessee in 1889.

Her Mother was Agnes (might be Virginia-per an old family photo) Bowers. Her Father was Sam (might be James or Charlie per old handwritten memos)Overall.

She had one sister that we know of, although she may be a half sister-Veatrice (not sure of her last name). She was last living in Tennessee in the 1980's or 1990's. I don't remember the date my father went out there. She lived in an old plantation style house, with the highway running through the burial site of the slaves. There was a paper my sister dug up saying Veatrice's mother was Mrs. Blankenship.

Any bits of information would be greatly appreciated.

Family of James Vernon Byrd in TN

heathernicole141 — 21 Aug 2008 6:53:37 GMT

My great grandfather was James Vernon Byrd(1883-1949), married to Minnie Collins then Pansie Violet Boswell. His father was Robert Franklin Byrd(1841-1914) who married Sarah O. McMinn. His father was Jesse S Byrd (maybe Jesse R Byrd?)(1811-1861) who married Martha Farmer, and I believe his father was Bryant Byrd(1782-1856) who married Sarah Boswell. They started out in North Carolina and came to Tipton county, Tennessee in the 1800's.

I was told there was Cherokee heritage somewhere in my family, and I'm trying to figure out if it was from the Byrd side. Thanks in advance for any help.

Tipton Census - 1850/1860 - Incomplete

gnezworski — 1 Apr 2008 8:39:43 GMT

This is to alert some who have had trouble locating Tipton relatives in 1850/1860 Census in Districts 6 and 7. After some study I have concluded there are problems with these censuses in these districts. There are at least 3 if not more families missing on the Regular Schedules for these Districts which should be there. Other family records all document residence plus they are listed as Owners on the Slave Schedules in 1860. Ancestry.com search engine does not locate them elsewhere.

The three known families are Allen Pickard (Will 1861 Tipton) and the two executors he named, J. D. Easley and W. H. Wooten, and W H Wooten was Sheriff of Tipton Co (Goodspeed's History)

Does anyone have a suggestion as to this reason for this anomaly?

Tims Family in Tipton County

ATims5617 — 23 Jun 2001 10:57:09 GMT

My Great-grandfather, James Tims, and Great-grandmother, Elizabeth Wade Davidson were married in Tipton County, TN 22 Dec. 1853 (IGI Record). The census records of 1860 indicate the Tims' Wades, and Davidsons were living in the same general area, if not adjacent farms. I'm trying to establish the relationships between the families. The Gross family comes in because my grandfather, Carroll W. Tims, married a Martha Elizabeth Gross in Tipton County in Abt.1884. I need 1850 census data on the Tims, Wades, and Davidsons and the marriage date of Martha Gross. Any other information will be greatfully accepted.

No one is sure of my great-grandfathers name because they were all young when he passed; I get the impression he died young. I am really interested in where hes from, his parents and so on. It is said he or Savannah both were originally from AK. If it will help Chester and Pauline, with Savannah settled in Brighton, TN, outside of Memphis (Shelby/Tipton County).

Josiah A. Morrow age 38 in 1850 census Tipton Co Tn

billmorrow38 — 17 Oct 2007 1:55:42 GMT

I'm researching Josiah A. Morrow who appears in the 1850 census Tipton Co Tn, dist 4; pg 328b 274/274:
Josiah A. Morrow age 38 born SC, grocer;
wife Mildred 34 Tn; Martha Champion 12; Robert H. Winn 6.

I understand Josiah A. Morrow married the following in Tipton Co Tn:
(1) Sarah E. Wilson 7/8/1847
(2) Mildred N. Champion 9/6/1849
(3) Indiana Deakins 3/25/1852

Josiah and family moved to Lauderdale Co Tn by 1860 census.
He does not appear in 1870 census and wife Indiana had remarried 1866 so apparently Josiah died during the Civil War era.
I suspect Josiah A. Morrow's parents were David and Nancy (Dorrough) Morrow. They lived in Greenville Dist SC until 1826 when they moved to Fayette Co Al where they appeared in 1830 census. I lost track of them including Josiah after that.

Any info would be appreciated.

Just wanted to let you all know that the Shelby County Register's site (above) now has a listing of STATEWIDE deaths between 1949 and 2005. Each listing gives the person's name, marital status, county of death, county of residence, date of death and age.

There are more new things on this site as well, but the rest is limited to Shelby County.

Clara Crooks, Delaney, Adams, Maxey

mecopell — 30 Aug 2007 5:54:34 GMT

Does anyone have any information on Clara Crooks? I have no facts stating that is her last name. I have just heard people talking about her on previous message boards.
Her last name can also be known as Delaney, possibly a marriage to Henry Delaney which Earl Franklin Delaney was born in 1897 in Catahoula County, La. She married J.E. Adams in MS in 1904 with Katie Adams being born in 1904, and lastly to William Monroe Maxey who was my great grandfather resulting in lots of children. She died in Shelby county TN in 1960.

My question to you. Was her last name really Crooks, or was it something different. I have really hit a road block.
Any information would be very appreciated!

Son of Leander Hill, 1887

gteffeteller — 14 Jul 2007 2:03:34 GMT

North Georgia Times (Murray Co. GA) Thursday, October 20, 1887:

“This horrible story comes from Tennessee: A little son of Leander Hill, who lives south of Covington, [Tipton Co.] Tenn., went to his father’s gin, and seeing that the cotton press was halt full of the fleecy staple, the child lay down and went to sleep. Operations were resumed about the gin and the Negroes filled the press with lint to complete the bale. The terrific pressure of the falling block was brought down upon the loose cotton, and when the bale was rolled up from the press, bound with the iron ties, the life blood of the body oozed slowly through the fiber. This excited the curiosity of the men and the bale was torn open. To the horror and unspeakable grief of Mr. Hill, he found the body of his little son crushed to a jelly. If the little fellow uttered any cries of distress they were not heard.”

Samuel Roe & Family

DetiaRoe — 30 Jan 2003 3:56:19 GMT

I need any information I can find on Samuel Roe and/or his family. From the censuses, I have Samuel married Louisa J.; their children are Mary M., Ann E., Martha T., William Benjamin, and Fanny R. They were in Tipton Co., TN in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses but not in 1850. William B. married Mary W. Boswell in Fayette Co., TN on 5 Nov 1884. They had 6 children (1 died before 1900). In 1900 William B. and Mary W. were in Paragould, Greene Co., AR.

I have looked up every Roe/Rowe/Row in the 1850 census index, but have not been able to find Samuel (probably at home with his father as he was 20 at the time). A search of Tipton Co. in 1850 also came up empty. So they probably came to Tipton Co. during the 1850's.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for the descendants of Judge Samuel E. Stephenson of Covington , Tipton Co., Tennessee in the hope of exchanging photographs. Judge Stephenson, widower, was married to my gg-aunt Annie Barnett Chapman, the daughter of John H. and Damaris L. Shelton Chapman.

The following were in the household in 1900:

Damaris Shelton Chapman and the Stephensons are buried in Munford Cemetery, Tipton County, TN. Richard Chapman is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, Jefferson Co., KY

Prior to moving to Covington in about 1872, the Chapmans lived in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, TN,where Damaris Chapman taught music in a private boarding school and her husband John H.

Richard Thomas Chapman left Covington and worked for Carter Dry Goods in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. From about 1958 until the early 1970's my grandmother, Hattie Lee Chapman Conover, was a resident of Covington and lived in a home on Maple.

I am still trying to find info on Benjamin VanVickle that was in the 1910 Tipton Co., census.

I am told Mary died in Tipton Co. between this 1910 census and 1920 census.

I am trying to find Mary parents. According to the census Mary was born Nov. 1871 Alabama.

I have found a Vaden Family of John and Mary Safronia (Safrona), Unknown, Vaden in Franklin and Cobert Co. Alabama, in the 1860-1870 census. Mary Safronia and children were in Lauderdale Co., Tennessee in 1880. John apparently had died. Daugther Mary was in the household.

By 1900 Mary Safronia was living with Thomas J. Vaden, as his cousin.

I am not able to find any proof this John and Mary Safronia was my Mary's parents.

Any info would sure be appreciated.

Thank you, Cathy
