Hi Philip,
Got you beat in the age department-I turned 60 on May 14. I was always under the impression that the kids were sent hither and yon after Allen & Fanny disappeared.
I was told that Billy Joe and Arminta lived up in Wayne Co. and that Mary Margaret was sent to live with them and that's how she met John Henry Stephens who she later married. She was my gg-grandpa's baby sister and John Henry Stephens was my great-Grandma Laura Huff Blankenship's 1st cousin. John Henry and Mary Margaret just lived up on the ridge above my great-grandparents John and Laura Huff Blankenship.
I'd heard that they were getting a marker for Aaron but hadn't heard anymore about it. Would love to come when they have the ceremony.
William Tolbert was just enough younger than Aaron, but I'm surprised they didn't take him anyway. He was born in 1848 so somehow just escaped the War.
No I haven't seen the movie Gettysburg. Sounds like my kind of movie...I love "Patriot" about the Revolution - had a 4th Great-Grandfather James Asher Crockett who was at the Battle of Cowpens and some of the other battles. I've been to Cowpens in SC and the feeling is just indescribable as we drove around listening to the CD we'd just purchased of music from that time period. You could almost bring it to life!!
I believe that Allen and Fanny disappeared sometime after 1862 because Allen reported when their daughter 'Louisa Emarine' died and her death is just recorded under '1862'. They were also listed in the 1860 census with their children but not the 1870.
My gg-grandparents - William Tolbert and his 2nd cousin Martha Ann Adkins were married in 1869 in Lincoln I quess, but they moved over to KY before their first child was born in 1871.
