Salers/Sailors/Saylers in White Co., TN

archaeoamy — 11 May 2008 6:44:44 GMT

Looking for information on the following Michael Salers/Sailors:

There is a Michael Salers/Sailors on the White co., TN tax list for the years 1813/1817/1818. Before this he lived in Blount co., TN, and was living in Jackson co. TN on the 1820 census, age 45+ (b. 1750's in PA). He lived to be at least 100, as he is listed on the 1850 census there and noted as a Rev. war pensioner, age 100.

I think I've correctly identified his pension application (Sailers) which confirms this information, but it is very difficult to read. It says he was born in PA in 1758, enlisted from Burke Co., NC, then moved to GA after the war, then in TN as before stated (also in Missouri, but details are illegible).

I wonder if he was from Wilkes co., GA, as that is where my Phillips family lived. I'm trying to determine if he had a daughter named Elizabeth, b. bet. 1790-1797 in GA, who would have married into my Phillips family.

A Jackson co., TN book says he had a dtr. named Rachel, and his wife was named Louanna Mason. Possible sons living in White co., TN were Frederick & Leonard.

Can anyone tell me anything about this Michael or any of the other Sailer names listed?

Thank you!
Amy.

PHILLIPS in White County, early 1800s.

amy — 27 Oct 2004 1:32:00 GMT

I came across the following PHILLIPS on the 1820 census and am wondering if anyone has any information about these people?

Phillips, David 001/201 / 111/010
Phillips, John 200/001 / 200/100
Phillips, Thomas 200/010 / 101/000
Phillip, Lewis 300/210 / 200/100

I'm looking for a Thomas Phillips, born about 1788-1791 in SC, who came to TN sometime before 1815. He married an Elizabeth, born about 1792 or 1797 in GA., before 1815. I don't know if this is the right Thomas or not, or how the other Phillips are related. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Amy.

Choctaw roots of Jane Frasier

Karen_Sim — 10 Feb 2008 10:05:13 GMT

Jane Frasier married Carroll Tucker in White County August 26, 1846.

I believe that Jane is the daughter of Thomas Frasier and Mary Wilson.

When the Dawes Commission was formed in Oklahoma, all of the then-living children of Jane Frasier Tucker Sledge including the children of her second marriage applied for the rolls. At least one of them pursued it all the way through and was accepted to the Final Rolls.

Can anyone tell me anything about Choctaw lines in White County?

1850 Census White Co. - question

pamandgar9973 — 1 Feb 2008 11:14:34 GMT

If anyone has studied the 1850 White Co. census and knows something about the families living there at the time, maybe you could help me with the following family:

Page 67B
White Co., TN - Dist 8 - Sept 1850
household 893-895
GALLAHAN, Jemima 50 b. TN
GALLAHAN, John C. 21 b. TN
GALLAHAN, William 13 b. TN

Page 70
White Co., TN - Dist 8 - Sept 1850
household 929-929
TEPSTER/TIPTON?, Calvin 23 b. TN
GALLAHAN, Jemimah/Jeremiah 50 b. TN
GALLAHAN, William 14 b. TN

It looks to me this is the same family group that was recorded twice when the census taker realized he wrote them wrong the first time. However he couldn't get Jemimah's name right and scratched over the m/f so that's no help. Also, the name Tipton looks like it is written like Lisster actually to me as the double "ss" thats written "ps" or "fs" sometimes seen in old handwriting. Ancestry indexed it as Tipton.

My reason for looking at this family is on the 1860 Census of Carroll Co., Arkansas is this family:
1860 Census - Carroll Co., AR - Carrollton Township - P.O. Carrollton - 7 July 1850 - household 398-390-
TIPTON, Calvin 25 b. TN Farmer (1835)
TIPTON, Milly 26 b. TN (1834)
TIPTON, Thomas C. 3 b. TN
TIPTON, William A. 5/12 b.AR
TIPTON, Jemima 60 wid. b. TN

Calvin Tipton's age varies on later census. He had several wives and many children but no clue as to parents.

If anyone knows the Gallahan family and can tell me who Jemima's husband was, it might help. Thank you,
Pam Smith

White Co TN Cemeteries

zieman3 — 6 Nov 2003 3:41:19 GMT

Everyone should be aware the White County TN is light years ahead in it's cemetery listings. There is the existing White Book (found on line via the TN GenForum and in the county library) which is 98% accurate / complete.

I can tell you from first-hand experience, that ANY family is scattered over a few different cemeteries. Do not limit your search to any one cemetery that your family may have mentioned.

And then there is the almost complete major redo by the White County Historical Society - third floor of the Court House. Please contact Geraldine Pollard at:

Am looking for any and all information on a Zebedee and Burrell Seals - I believe Burrell is the son of Zebedee but am not sure. Zebedee was in White County beginning around 1826 (he shows on tax records from that time period). He died in 1839. A will was filed upon his death.

I have been unable to find any confirmation that Burrell is his son but this possibility makes the most sense based on a process of elimination. I would like to confirm this or to determine who his parents were for certain. Burrell was born around 1823 and later married Elizabeth b. 1817. They had two daughters, Mahelen and Sarah, born in Tennessee. Then relocated to Arkansas where they had 5 additional daughters.

I have reason to believe they were related to a Mahala Seals who later married a man named Snow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Marion Lee, and family, of White County TN

Al Lee — 27 Oct 2004 1:28:52 GMT

In the 1880 White County TN census, a John Lee, Bartholet Lee, and Julia Ida Lee were listed as children of Elizabeth Halterman Lee, widow(?) of Marion Lee, originally from Fentress County TN.

Does anyone have any information on this Bartholet Lee, or Julia Ida Lee? I have not found them and feel Bartholet may have moved to a different county, but have not been able to determine if Julia Ida married, and remained in White County.

I think Marion died shortly before 1880, Elizabeth remarried (1889, Lum Pirtle), however I’ve found no information of when, or how, Marion died, or where he is buried.

Any help or comment will be appreciated.

We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else.

KinMapper — 15 Jan 2007 4:08:32 GMT

We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else.

We have a family tree of nearly 35000 (35K) Kittrell descendants and spouses that is totally private and a MyFamily site that is private and free and available to all Kittrell descendants and spouses.

Just post or e-mail if you fit the bill and want to see thousands of bits of Kittrell info.

The area of the future Gates County of North Carolina is the origin in the USA of the largest Kittrell family and Bertie County, NC was the home of one or more of the next generation, and later they moved on through Craven, Pitt, Granville, Carteret, Davidson and other NC counties as land grew to scarce for the number of male heads of household to feel that they could prosper.

After that period of homesteading in various counties, many in some branches moved to other states including many times over Tennessee, with Sumner appearing to be one of the first stops and many times over Maury County and other coumties including listed alphabetically Anderson, Cannon, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Hamilton, Henry Hickman, Jackson, Knox, Lawrence, Lewis, Loudon, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Meigs, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Perry, Rutherford, Shelby, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, White, Williamson, Wilson and Weakley Counties, among many other, later became the home of many Kittrells of one line or another or multiple lines.

Anyone with Kittrell in their lore please write or post or both!

Anyone with Kittrell in any Tennessee document is welcome to write and to share info on an area rich in Kittrells, complicated to delineate from which Kittrell they descend and of which we have a large knowledge. We lose track of some of the female Kittrell lines consistently in every generation and would like to add them back to the family tree.

The name has many spellings through the centuries in public record including as examples only Kittrell, Kittrel, Kitrel, Kitrell, Kitterlin, Kitterill, Kitterell,..., leterally dozens or literally dozens depending how well you spell such things.

We will assist anyone on Kittrell matters (for free of course other than the wealth we get from both of us sharing some of what we know).

And we will be most pleased to find more missing links broken from our tree due to distance and change of generations to those who barely know a whit of their Kittrell kin.

I am looking for relations or researchers of the Tennessee Welch family that includes Daisy Mae Welch. An Ancestry World Tree submitter contributed 2 WELCH family trees but there doesn't seem to be a contact for them.

I'b be very interested in talking to the compiler of those trees, and/or any other connections to Tennessee Welches. My Grandmother's Father was William B. Smith, who married Daisy Mae Welch around 1920 in TN. They had at least two children: Sylvester Smith and Grace Smith, just before they moved to the Barberton, Ohio area.

I'd like to know more about my Grandmother's parents side of the family.

Sincerely,
Richard

POW/MIA Korean War, DAVIS, IRWIN, LAMBERT, White Co.

H. Davis — 12 Oct 2006 12:19:17 GMT

I am searching for the family of yhree soldiers who was killed in the Korea War. When they entered service they gave White County,TN as their home of record.

Soldier: JOSEPH LERE DAVIS
Born: 1929 ?, Caucasian
Date of loss: July 31, 1950, Missing in Action. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: GERALD IRWIN
Born: Cctober 24, 1933, Black
Date of loss: November 5, 1951, Missing in ACtion in North Korea. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: RUDOLPH JACKSON LAMBERTH
Born: September 27, 1931, Caucasian
Date of loss: Feb. 13, 1951, Captured (POW). His remains were never recovered.

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 35 families in TN that have not been located. There are three famlies from White County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.

Th LaFollette Press
Dec 7, 1944
Joe Davis Passes
Joe Davis, 45 died last Friday Dec. 1 from a nail wound in the hand and was buried Sunday afternoon at 3:00 PM at Sparta, Tennessee.

The Davis family live on Nevada Avenue and have been in La Follette about a year, moving here from Jellico.

Surviving is his wife and five children. Two sons are in the Army and about five minutes before Mr. Davis died a message came from the War Department informing the parents their son Clyde had been wounded in Germany. The other son John is stationed in North Carolina and was in home when the father passed away.

The Davis family had recently purchased this property and were making improvements on it. Mr. Davis while putting an underpinning under the house punctured his hand with a rusty nail, causing his death a few days later.

JOHNSON -- TAYS (TEAS, TASE, TAYSE, TEASE) -- SMITH

Jerry Smith — 23 Jul 2006 5:20:50 GMT

My grandmother was Rebecca Tayes who married Wint Johnson in 1904. She was born in 1886 and was daughter of Sam Tayes (or Tays/Tayse/etc) and MIranda Neely (have seen spelling on this as MARanda Nealy and MORanda Neely as well - may/ may not be same person)

Her father and mother may have moved into Overton county -- could not find an entry in the 1880 census -- but we believe my grandmother was born in the Clay/Overton county area (Hilham/Celina)

As a little girl, she did not go to school - she had a tutor as a teacher (well-to-do family ???) She usually went by the name of Beckey.

Beckey and Wint had a farm (~100+ acres) that State of TN took away and flooded as part of the TVA Dale Hollow Dam project. Both my mother and grandmother had very clear Native American features. My grandmother died in 1960 in Sparta.

Beckey Johnson's daughter was my mother (Bonnie Evelyn Johnson) who married Leo ("Chig") Fred Smith in 1944.

I am having an awful time trying to trace the Johnson / Tayes side of my family given the many ways that Tayes might have been spelled! Please, any help that I can get is much appreciated!!

Thank you
Jerry Smith

Isaac C GLENN, b. 1829/1831 TN, White Co perhaps

matt_mathews3 — 8 Jul 2006 5:50:20 GMT

Hoping to connect with anyone that might help me establish whether my ancestor Isaac C. GLENN has any connection to the Alexander & Rebecca GLENN family that migrated to Tulare Co, CA (1852 CA census) by way of Missouri (1840 census) and Texas (1850 census), or perhaps to one of Alexander's siblings, John, William, Joseph or Isaac.

Per 1860 census, Isaac C. GLENN was born abt. 1831 in TN. Per his gravemarker, date of birth appears to be abt. 1829. He was buried in Visalia CA in 1862 when the only other GLENN family in that vicinity was the aformentioned Alexander & Rebecca, thus my hypothesis for some type of connection.

Further details about Isaac may be found here:

Unfortunately the book does not seem to be available on microfilm, and I am rather a long distance from Salt Lake City. If someone reading this message board has access to the book and would be able to do a lookup I would really appreciate it.
