Jeremiah Jones b. 1810 in TN - to Panola Co., MS by 1840

emj123 — 20 Aug 2008 6:01:56 GMT

Looking for any information on the family of Jeremiah Jones, born ca. 1810 in TN. Jeremiah moved to Panola County, Mississippi by 1840 and purchased land there in 1843. The 1850 Panola Co., MS census reviels Jeremiah (b. 1810, TN) living with wife Nancy P. Unknown (b. 1820, TN) and children: Margaret J. (b. 1837, MS), Mary A. (b. 1839, MS), John A. (b. 1843, MS) and James H.D. (b. 1845, MS). In December 1858, Jeremiah sold his land in Panola Co., MS. It appears his wife, Nancy P., may have died 1846-1858 in Panola Co, MS.

On the 1860 census, Jeremiah is living in Choctaw Co., MS with wife, (Martha) Parthenia Unknown (b. 1829, MS), w/children John, James, and William A. (b. 1859 - 1860, MS).

In 1863, Jeremiah purchased land in Attala Co., MS. He and Parthenia had 3 more children - 2 daughters: M.E. (b. 1863, MS), M.P. (b. 1865, MS), and a son, A.J. (b. 1869, MS). Jeremiah Jones died bet. 1873-1879.

I cannot locate Jeremiah's marriage to 1st known wife, Nancy P. Unknown, by using online databases. I do not know in which TN County/Counties Jeremiah Jones or Nancy P. Unknown were born. I do not know their parents' names. The 1st known child, Margaret J. Jones, was born in MS ca. 1837 per the 1850 census record. Assuming this is correct (the 1840 census confirms Margaret's age "<5 years old"), Jeremiah was age 27, but Nancy P. would only be 17 years old at the time of Margaret's birth. Therefore, the possibility exists Margaret & Mary may be Jeremiah's children by a previous marriage.

Tennesse is a "new state" for me as far as research goes. It looks like the 1830 census is the first complete census. I have checked the 1830 TN census with no luck. Jeremiah would be ~20 years old at this time, so was probably living with his parents, or in another household. Jeremiah was a farmer throughout his adult life (corn & cotton).

I do not expect anyone to recognize this family (it appears most children died in young adulthood, and only one of Parthenia's children was still living in 1900). I will, however, certainly appreciate any assistance on what approach I may take in researching Tennessee Pre-Statehood records given this fact pattern.

Thank You!

Half cherokee Simon Butler

Fairly — 2 Jul 2008 7:11:54 GMT

My GGG Grandfather was Simon Butler born ca 1776 in either Tennessee or any other indian terrotory including Virginia and North Carolina. He later lived in Wayne, Whitley, and Pulaski counties Ky. According to his daughter's pension file information he was a half breed Cherokee indian , he died in Pulaski Co. Ky. ca 1868-69. I am looking for any place where I can get information on native american history within the areas stated above in or about 1776 forward. It is fairly apparent his mother was the white half and his father was indian. I am also searching for any place that may list the names of native americans who took an oath of alligence to the US in the early 1800's. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Marilyn M Fair mfair@kc.rr.com

Need info on NC land grantees in TN

RitaMHall — 4 Jun 2003 10:01:36 GMT

Does anyone know how I can find info on the Samuel Scott (grantee) whose heir, Jas. Scott was assigned 640 acres in Davidson County, TN? The names James and Samuel appear continually throughout my line, and I have traced the family back to Samuel Scott in Davidson Co as early as 1810. This Samuel was born somewhere in VA btw 1770-1775 but I don't know who his parents were. He died in Shelby County, TN in 1848, so I know he's not the grantee. I wonder if someone could help determine if Jas. and Samuel might be father and brother/uncle/grandfather of my "brick wall Samuel"? Also I would love to find an accounting of Samuel Scott's (#1) death in defense of the Cumberland Settlements.

Any input would be appreciated.

Tennessee Brighams - late 1700s or early 1800s

tighet — 1 Feb 2008 9:06:57 GMT

Would anyone out there be related to any Brighams in Tennessee, near Sumner County during the period of the early 1700s or early 1800s?

My family line settled in the Sumner County area about 1780 and they were always referred to as either Brigance, Brigham or another variation.

We are trying to distinguish whether the Brigham's in that area are related by blood or not.

If you are a male Brigham who can trace their line back to that area and that time frame could you please email me at tltighe@aol.com

Thanks.

I am searching for Anne (Ana) Henson b. 1775 in NC and by 1820 lived in Jackson County, TN. She had 2 sons (possibly more children as she was 45 years old in 1820), one of which was Thomas H. Henson b. 1801. They are there in 1820, 1840 and 1850. I do not know who Anne Henson was married to. Anne Henson shows up living with the Thomas and Emily Henson family in 1850 in Jackson County, TN, but they are all gone by 1860.

In 1830, Thomas, Anne and a William Henson are living in Monroe County, KY. But, by 1840 are back in Jackson County, TN.

Does this ring a bell with anyone else's Henson line?

John Middleton Maury County Tn,

WilliamMiddleton51 — 11 Dec 2007 2:25:24 GMT

John was my 6th great grandfather

I have seen many websites and had many emails from people saying John Middleton Maury County Tn, Was the son of Richard IV Middleton. Babados line of Middletons

But how could this be? DAR Records state that Richard IV Middleton did have a son named John, but he died in Chesterfield Dist. SC 1800.

John Middleton of Maury county Tn, was in Greensville County Sc, in 1800.and in Maury County by 1820.

There is a book by Marise Parrish Lightfoot called Let the Drums Roll: Veterans and Patriots of the Revolutionary War who Settled in Maury County, Tennessee. In her book she writes.

John Middleton, Senior, b. between 1750 & 1760, Ireland and migrated to South Carolina before the
Revolutionary War. He received payment for militia duty in South Carolina during the years 1779 and

1782. He executed his will on April 17, 1831, and died between that date and June 23, 1831, when the will

was probated in Maury County, Tennessee. In his will he named his wife, Rebecca and two sons, Alfred and Drury.

Also I have found more false information. There is a old family story about John being in Lee's legion in the Revolutionary War.

I went to DAR with this and found out this not to be true, There was a John Middleton in lee's but he died way before our John Middleton did in Sc.

So who was John Middleton 1760- 1831 Maury County Tn,
If you have any new Information to share please Email me at

Caswell P. Ewton's parents? Siblings?

frankthebunny924 — 29 Oct 2007 8:33:19 GMT

I'm having a spot of trouble finding the parents of Caswell P. Newton. He was born in 1807 or 1808 as far as I can find, was married to a woman named Elizabeth Mooney or Elizabeth Potter at around 1830, and both were supposedly born in Tennessee. I have found one source in someone else's family tree that has his mother listed as a Rebecca Wootton, but so far that is not giving me any leads elsewhere. In 1850 Caswell and his wife and 10 children were living in Bledsoe, and in 1860 they were living in Sequatchie (four of the ten kids had left and there were 5 new children) if that helps at all. Thanks in advance for any info!!!

I am looking for my g-g-g-grandfather, Abel Hill, born abt. 1788, who was married to Leah Lee. According to one family source, though I can not prove, he and John Hill and their families left Tennessee and went to Mississippi.

I need any info on Abel Hill, Leah Lee Hill, and John Hill and families. Where were they in Tennessee? (I find one Abel Hill in Wayne Co., 1820 Census, but do not know if he is "my" Abel). To whom was John Hill married? Were Abel and John brothers? Did Abel and Leah have any more children?

Pre-Statehood Records/Sources-Need Direction

Sherry Hardin — 19 Jan 2003 11:00:38 GMT

Hello - I am just embarking on the search for records and or sources concerning my ancestor JAMES MCDOWELL who stated in a newspaper abstract that he was born "1786 in Greene Co, TN, area once NC". His father MAY have been Ephraim McDowell Jr. who appeared on the Green Tax list for 1783. Ephraim's family was attacked by indians..verified by mention of such in a 1790 court document...the jurisdiction at this time was recorded as the Territory South of the Ohio River. Ephraim was decd. by this time, though due to the attack ? I know not.
I am still missing a direct link to EPHRAIM, but descendants of James and one other line down the suspected brother of James, (Matthew) both tell of an indian attack which killed the father and other family members.
I would very much appreciate suggestions for locating both records and history concerning settlement and indian attacks in this area. It appears that by 1797, a portion of the family was located at Blount, CO. (McDowell Marriage records appear there)...
Other family names possibly attached to the family in East TN are
FRANKLIN / FRANKLAND , GALBREATH, BLAIR, HARRISON, CONNERS, DOHERTY / DAUGHERTY and IRWIN..
My family migrated to Adair Co, KY by 1808.
Would love to hear your suggestions..

Please help me find some information about my gggrandparents. They moved to the Decatur/Perry Co. area around 1815 from Mecklenburg Co., NC. My family in Texas & NM say that he is buried in Fisher Hill Cemetery in Decaturville, TN. I can find no listing for that cemetery. The only documentation that I can find is in the Decatur Co.

If you can share anything about this early Tennessee family, I would be most thankful.

Nathan Bedford Forrest - answer to query about him

wanda Petty — 12 Oct 2005 10:09:32 GMT

He is buried in Forrest Park in Memphis, Shelby County, TN (at least right now). There is or has been a contraversy over all public parks which refer to the confedracy or its leaders. As of now (Oct. 2005) it has died down somewhat but I expect it to come back. Check some TN history sites and civil war sites for info on him and his activities.

Causwell County in the State of Franklin

Carlene Price — 3 Apr 2006 1:22:35 GMT

Many month ago I went through all this, but I have misplaced my specific information. I have a copy of a document that places my ancestor in the State of Franklin, Causwell Co, in Sept 1787. My question is this: in what modern day county is this area? It appears that he went there with relatives who lived in Greene County. Is Greene County near Causwell? Where would I find a book showing these old counties and what they are today. I have a friend who is researching an ancestor with the exact name as mine. He appears to have been in NC also. What NC counties were around Causwell and Greene at that period of time - 1787 to about 1795? I am truly stumped and need to be able to see the geography of the area. I thought that might help. Thanks so very much if anyone can straighten me out about all this.

Spencer Benson Family, Sevier>Rhea>McMinn TN

nellcnicholson — 12 Jun 2006 6:55:19 GMT

Robert A Benson was born in Sevier Co, TN on Feb 11, 1796. Is Robert Benson a son of Spencer Benson, b 1755 Deleware, Revolutionary War soldier who moved to Sevier County abt 1895? His trail to Rhea County where Robert Benson's son William H Benson was born Feb 23, 1828 follows that of Spencer Benson. There seems to be unknown children in lists of Spencer and Comfort Short Benson's children. In 1850 Census Walker County, AL, Robert A Benson, Shoemaker, age 55 TN, Elizabeth, Age 45 TN and their chilldren William H 19 TN, Comfort 15 AL, Robert A 10 AL, Sarah F 8 AL, Elizabeth M 4 AL. Their oldest daughter, Martha Ann Benson, b Mar 1, 1822 Rhea Co, TN, was married Mar 7,1846 to Jesse Harris O'Rear in Walker County, AL. Robert Benson moved to Alabama just before 1835 from McMinn or Rhea Counties, TN (according to Comfort Benson's date of birth). Can anyone provide the link of Robert Benson to Spencer Benson? Any information about the Spencer Benson family would be helpful.

Clark family in late 1700s to early 1800s

Tina Czopek — 3 Apr 2006 5:29:06 GMT

Hello list,

I am trying to research a Clark family that I only have a few clues for. Is anyone researching this family name in TN from this time period? I think the family was originally from Maryland, moved to TN for some reason, and then moved to the Delaware County, Ohio between 1820-1830. I can't imagine why they were doing so much traveling.

Rosanna (Unknown maiden name) Clark b. about 1781 in MD moved to TN where she had her children with an Unknown Clark. I am descendant of their daughter, Susanna (Clark) Gerkey b.Sep 8, 1820 in TN d. Apr 13, 1899 in Delaware County, Ohio.

Rosanna (Unknown) Clark is found in Liberty Twp, Delaware Co., OH in the 1850 Census. She is alone living next door to her daughter, Susanna Clark Gerkey/Girkey/Gurkey/Girkay. My 94 year old grandma told me this family has Native American heritage. I do have a photo of Susanna's granddaughter and her dark hair and skin color and facial features do seem to support this thought.

Susanna's obituary indicates she came to Ohio in her early childhood years. If anyone has any information they can offer, I'd really appreciate it.

The McDaniels of TN

Dave Foster — 17 Mar 2006 7:52:19 GMT

I have a small bit of information that may or may not help.
William Blount, governor of the territory before Tennessee became a state, appointed a Daniel McDaniel to the job of Ensign (nowdays a 2nd lieutenant) in the Knox County Militia.

The date of his commission was April 26, 1793. Knox County was cut from Hawkins County and Indian territory in 1792. Knoxville, TN is the Knox Countty seat and Rogersville, TN is the Hawkins County seat.

Lookup Please: McDaniel & Elliott

Dorothy (Elliott) Pate — 8 Feb 2006 5:35:08 GMT

William McDaniel lists his birthplace as 1810 TN, his wife, Caroline (?) lists hers 1812 MS. They are in the 1860 Panola County Census with their children.

There is also a William K. Elliott and wife Laura Grasty. He lists his birth 1817 in TN, she in AL. in Panola County in the 1860 Census.
William is not on the 1870 Panola County Census. Neither is my gggrandfather, James F. Elliott . b 1820 AL nor his wife Elizabeth McMillan, b. 1828 Dallas County AL. I suspect James and William got killed in the Civil War. I havent been able to find that out tho.
Instead there is a Mary b. 1830 in TN taking care of the James F. Elliott family. I think there is a link but I cant find it. I dont have a clue as to where William McDaniel, William K. Elliott and Mary Elliott are from in TN.

Elizabeth's and Laura's family are listed on Rootsweb and extended but James F. and William K. Elliott's arent. They are only mentioned as spouses.

Does anyone know these families?

Haywood family in Eastern Tennessee

Jack_Haywood — 17 Jan 2006 4:11:39 GMT

The history in this area is so interesting. I am searching for information on my Haywood line.

My GGGgrandfather Henry Haywood was born in Tennessee in 1803. Several of his older siblings are listed as born in Virginia while those younger than he are listed as born in Tennessee. I think they were all born in the same place. Later some of them moved to Floyd County, Kentucky and others to Indiana. Several are still listed in the Hawkins 1830 census but not the 1840.

Finding out info on Henry's father has been tough. I have a land transfer for William Haywood for some acreage near where Poor Valley Creek enters the Holston River. I have a tax roll for William Haywood from 1799 in Hawkins County. Family legend has it that Tennessee historian Judge John Haywood was an uncle of Henry, but i cant verify it.

Henry married Winiford Stubblefield, daughter of Robert Loxley Stubblefield. Henry's brother married Winifords niece, Polly Stubblefield and his sister married Christopher Mays whose mother was Winifords aunt. Other prominent family names are Denney, Mays, Fitzpatrick and of course, Stubblefield.

Does any of this ring a bell with anyone? II would appreciate any information that anyone might have.

Questionable burial in Tennessee

Long Family

norma mccord — 7 Aug 2005 7:01:04 GMT

My gggrandfather James Wright Long b.1788, came to Tn with his father from Va. ( Possibly Rockingham Co.) supposedly in mid 1790s. He married Nancy Reynolds daughter of William Reynolds. The Reynolds came into what is now Hawkins and I have heard settled in Carmichael Bottoms.Her father William then moved near to Philadelphia, Tn. I cannot find who James Wright Long's parents were. The records I have after his marriage to Nancy Reynolds in 1814 are in what is now McMinn. His son (my ggrandfather) was Rev. Carroll Long who was incorporator of Tenn. Wesleyan College. I have a note that says James W. and Nancy were buried in the Chesnutt cemetery. Their children were: Lucy A. ,Louisa , Rev. William R.,Dr. John A., Rev. Carroll, Nancy, Rev. J. Rufus, Dr. Albert, Mary Harriet, W.C. Can anybody shed light on whence they came? Help

qzqzq — 13 Apr 2005 12:59:30 GMT

I'm trying to find out about the Nicholas Barnett who was born in Virginia around 1800. I don't know when he moved to Tennessee, but he was there for several years and it looks like that is where all of his children were born. His oldest son John was born around 1824, James was born about 1826, David born around 1828, Joseph about 1833, and several years later, a pleasant surprise came along: another son- Pleasant was born about 1842. This Nicholas had a wife named Elizabeth, but we do not know her maiden name. A lot of people mix this Nicholas Barnett up with another one who was several years younger and also married an Elizabeth(her maiden name was hudsen). Although it's possible that they are related, we have no idea how.
Later, the family moved to Arkansas. They are in the 1860 Lawrence county,Ark. census. Elizabeth is also in the 1880 Sharp county, Ark. census at age 81.
Please let me know if you have any info on this line of Barnetts. Thankyou very much...Teresa Barnett

Jesse Vawter & Joseph Early in Holston ca 1782

Mark Danielson — 16 Nov 2003 7:12:55 GMT

My ancestor Jesse Vawter left Orange County, VA, to work for Joseph Early in the Holston Settlement around 1782. Early may have owned a mill in the area. Both men were Baptists. Early later sold land to Jesse, who moved a large party of his relatives to the land to live and work there until 1790. In that year the whole group moved to Kentucky by way of Bean's Station. On their first day of travel Jesse was thrown from his horse and landed in Beaver Creek.

I would like to have more definite information about where Jesse and his family lived. If anybody is able to give me any leads on land records for that area, I would appreciate it. I live in Washington State and am unable to do local research in Tennessee.

Many thanks.

Frederick Thomas

mlely — 8 Nov 2004 11:22:14 GMT

I am researching a Frederick Thomas who was born in Blount County, East Tennessee in 1792. I can find his marriage to Patsy McFarland in 1816, but that is it. According to the records I do have, he moved to Missouri and married Rebecca ??? in 1818. Though I don't have her last name, there are records to follow forward regarding children and their move to Oregon in 1845. Has anyone seen a reference to this man in regards to other Thomases in East TN? I have seen referenced in one book on TN that mentioned the Daniels and Kennedys as associates of the Thomas family.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Samuel A McFerrin

@@ken@ihot.com — 16 Jan 2005 9:47:50 GMT

Looking for any information on Samuel A McFerrin
known to have been living in Knox county in 1800
when one of his children was born.
Samuel left from England but may of lived in Ireland when he came to America, he settled in Early TN perhaps in the late 1790's could of been Greene co.or Hawkins or nearby counties which there were few.By the time his son was born I believe that Knox county had been drawn out of Greene county by then but not sure.Don't believe he or son had ever been soldiers in America.Believed Married in America,
had many children,Wifes name unknown only child known was James Harvey McFerrin (My Line)
Both Father and Son were very involved in The Methodist Episcopal Church but neither were Circuit Rider Ministers.
Samuel was a Farmer,how much land he owned is unknown,
he did have a few slaves but not known how long he had them or their names, as the Church pretty much disapproved of slavery.I know that his son James moved from TN after starting his family in 1844 or 1847 and went to Columbia township,Martin county Indiana.Its possible that his father Samuel died in 1849,just a guess though.
There were several McFerrin families in TN around those early years which I haven't been able to connect to yet
but perhaps related.
If my Samuel sounds like he may be in your family line I would very much like to hear from you please.
Thank You

Middle Fork Holston River 1774

MaryMiller994 — 20 Feb 2003 3:19:10 GMT

Anyone with a good map.....can you find the middle fork of Holston River? What towns is it near? Is it to the east of Abingdon Va and Bristol Tn/VA?

I have Henry Turney, 340 acres part of the Loyal Company grant, waters of the middle fork of Holston River, beginning corner to land of Roger Topp. 4 FEb 1774

between 1777 and 1780 Henry Turney is in court against Roger Topp over dispute of property line - this in Washington Co VA.

1777 peititon of Men North of Holston River, Henry Turney and his brother Peter Turney are on the list, but with line drawn thru their names. Peter Turney was a surveyor, and I think they had figured out their land would fall in North Carolina (today TN) rather than VA.

So about where would this land be?
