I am searching for the family of Michael Joseph Kisner (at the time pronounced "Kaisner" or "Kasner")(1822?-1905). According to his son, he came from Weakley county with "Bob Love" to North Mississippi in what was then still Indian territory, circa 1838, when he was about 16. He said he had a brother who went to Texas and was killed by a fallen tree. His sister (name unknown) married a John Strickland.

Charlie and Callie Ervin/ Griffin/ Bodkins?

JeffDaniel76 — 2012-08-28 03:37:23Z

Searching for assistance in locating the names of the biological parents of Charlie Adam Griffin and Callie M. Griffin. They are listed in the 1900 census with the last name of Ervin and later the name is Griffin. They were raised by George W. Griffin, (uncle?), who was listed prior to 1910, (marriage and census) as George Irvine/Ervin but later has the last name of Griffin also. George may have been born in Carroll County and lived in Carroll, Gibson and Weakley counties.
Charlie may be my biological great grandfather and I am trying to connect with my true "surname". Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: DUDLEY/GRIMES

HumblePie54 — 2012-07-22 21:01:02Z

My name is Russell Thomas. My g.g. grandparents are James Edgar Cashon and Asenath Jackson Wood. My grandfather was Arthur Fulton Cashon (his wife Lessie Margaret Robertson)
For those of you interested in the Cashon family I have a real treat. On July 1, 1917 there was a family reunion at the 'Big House' (John Franklin Cashon's house). I believe the Big House was located near Prosper, TX. As you can see James Edgar and Asenath are seated on the righ-side of the photograph with my grandpa (10 yrs old) sitting at their feet. You may find others in your tree as well. Enjoy!

Notes: Asenath passed March 13, 1920 about three years after this photo was taken.
The oldest person in the photo is Eliza Jane (Grimes) Dudley b.1838. She is 82 years old in the photo and passed six years later.

This is what I've found but the way Ancestry handles the posts, it's virtually undreadable. This will come through better on the Weakley County Mailing List or your private email. If I had more information regarding your grandmother, Maude or her brother John, I might be able to find more. I will send copies of the documents through your private email if you have trouble finding them yourself.

Re: Sarah Jane/Ann McClain Malone of Weakley/Henry Co,

sydneycouch — 2012-06-06 16:03:10Z

Hi Garry, I hope you might be able to set me on the right track. My GGgrandmother was Sarah Ann (or Jane) McClain b.1848 d.1880. She married James H. Malone. I believe her family moved to Henry Cou. in about 1850 but don't know from where. TN Marriage shows a Sarah J. marrying a James H. Malone in Henry Co. & Sarah's death notice is listed as Sarah J. McClain but on my greatgrandmother's (Zora Ann Malone aka Missourie Malone, Sarah & James daughter)death certificate it states that her (Zora's)mother's name was Ann McLain (not McClain). That is all I know about Sarah Jane/Ann McClain. I appreciate any help you can give me. The rest of my family from Weakley Co. are name Morris, Malone, Castleman & Baldridge. Thank you again! Sydney Couch, from Memphis, TN (Collierville, TN).

The Weakley County Genealogical Society has compiled a number of annual obituary books, the information came from the local newspapers (i.e., Dresden Enterprise, Weakley County Press and othes). This is from page 83 of the 1979 Weakley County Obituary Book. The obituary below may have been in the 21 Nov 1979 Dresden Enterprise.

Harold Rogers
Mr. Harold Rogers, 66, retired factory employee of Greenfield died Sunday, November 18, at Western Mental Health Institute in Bolivar following a lengthy illness.
Mr. Rogers was born September 2, 1913 in Greenfield, the son of the late Mr. Carl Rogers and Mrs. Minnie Rogers. He was a member of the Baptist Church.
He is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Neil Harrington and Mrs. Dale Parham, both of Covington, Mrs. James Beckett of Greenfield and Mrs. Mary Vinson of Atlanta, GA.; a son, Mr. Ronnie Rogers of Boston, Mass.; a sister, Mrs. Margie Simmons of Lansing, Mich.; and a brother, Mr. Finis Rogers of Greenfield.

I came across a wedding invitation to the marriage of Forrest FERGUSON and Thomas Roberta LITTLE, 1935, and have posted it along with a newspaper clipping titled Popular Couple Married here. Thomas, aka Tommie, was the daughter of Richard Mobley LITTLE and Ina Allen BOBBITT. Forrest was the son of Charles Augustus FERGUSON and Sophia A. IRVINE. Rev. Cayce PENTECOST performed the nuptials at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack McADAMS.

There is also a picture of Sophia Irvine FERGUSON with her three sons Forrest, Albert Granville and Harry M. taken about 1907.

I did not find a marriage of a Jones to a Capps, but I found a Sam Jones who married Mary Bryant in Weakley Co., Tn on September 27, 1868.
