Conner Family Cemetery

blong41 — 2009-07-24 14:53:13Z

Does anyone know the location of the Conner Family Cemetery?
It should be somewhere in the Bull Run Creek Valley, probably in Knox Co., TN. Buried there are the family of William (1780-1860) and Sarah (1785-1879) Cox Conner. Sarah is the daughter of Curd (1762-1853) and Susan (1765- ????) Overton Cox. Any help would be appreciated.

Location of Lues Well

RandyTurpin — 2009-06-26 20:30:48Z

The 1860 census notes that there was a post office at a place called Lues Well. Where was/is Lues Well? It appears that my ancestors, Martin and Elizabeth Turpin, lived there.

Re: Martin Turpin and James Turpin

RandyTurpin — 2009-06-26 00:24:26Z

The 1850 census shows James Turpin at subdivision 16 in Anderson County. Where can I find a map showing the census subdivisions in Anderson County (1850)?

Locating property on the basis of a deed search

RandyTurpin — 2008-06-11 22:24:21Z

At the Anderson County courthouse, I have located property descriptions for members of the Turpin family (mid 1800's). My question is this: How does a person take a property description (noting natural markers that were probably only known in the 1800's) and find the location of that piece of property on a present-day map?

Martin Turpin and James Turpin

RandyTurpin — 2008-06-11 22:17:54Z

Can anyone tell me the location of the home of Martin Turpin and/or James Turpin in Anderson County in the early 1800's? Martin Turpin married Mary Elizabeth Russell in Knox County in 1805, but apparently Martin's family and the family of his son James lived in Anderson County by the 1840's. I am wondering if they might have lived at the site of Turpin Spring--located on Blockhouse Valley Road.

Turpin Spring on Blockhouse Valley Road

RandyTurpin — 2008-06-11 22:10:27Z

Can anyone tell me the origin of the name given to "Turpin Spring" on Blockhouse Valley Road? Did the Turpin family once live at that location? If so, which Turpins lived there and at what point in history?

Benjamin Walden Bible Transcription

ShermanOrick — 2008-02-26 16:08:00Z

I recently looked at Vol. 9 1988 of the Pellissippian and found a transcription of Benjamin Waldens Bible. This was submitted by Jane Ayers of Lafollette,TN. Ms. Ayers states that the actual Bible is in the posession of Rosalie A. Keever of Knoxville,TN. Have not been able to locate either of these two sources.Benjamin is my 4ggrandfather and I would love to see or at least see pictures of this Bible. If any one has a clue of how I could possibly get in touch with either of these ladies, please contact me at knxorick@aol.com Thanks in advance. Sherman Orick

Re: William B. Irick

Hi Doug

I dont have anything specific for you, sorry, but your william has to tie in with the other Iricks. I have a lot of Irick info, beginning with Elizabeth Irick. She was born 1800, living in Anderson County. I do have she had a son Willis b 1837 but that doesnt match up with your info. I do not have info on siblings of Elizabeth, so perhaps he relates to her that way or as a son of a brother. If you need this info on Elizabeth you can go to my website, book section, Irick section. it is indexed too. it is:

I am looking for any family of Joe Smith (b.1902 TN), wife Susie (b. 1904 KY), daughters Viola (b. 1927 TN), & Thelma (b. 1929 TN). They were living in the 13th Civil District of Anderson County during the 1930 Census. There was also two sons, R.C. & ?, both born after the 1930 census. Joe & Susie's oldest daughter Viola Susan was 1st married to James Monroe Sexton (1916-2002). He was committed to an Insane Asylum in 1962 & their children were taken away and the younger ones were adopted out. Their children are: 1)Stillborn Baby Boy Sexton, 2)Dennis James Sexton, 3)John Sexton (d. 2004), 4)Joe Sexton (twin to John), 5)Linda Sexton-Seehorn, 6)Timothy Sexton, 7)Teresa Sexton-Mowell, 8)Kathy Sexton-Vaughan-Rutger, 9)Ernest Sexton, & 10)Randall Sexton, b./d.

Hall Family

civilization3 — 2006-09-02 04:09:19Z

I am trying to find information about the Hall family connected to Joe and Leah Hall.

He lived in Anderson county all of his life, around Clinton. He was born in the 1880's and died in 1947. (Some census say 1883, some say 1887). His wife's name was Leah ( nee Walden). They had several children, William, Nettie, Clara Violet, Edith, Mary Ella, Carl, Ethel, and Burton. Several of these also lived in or around Clinton all of their lives. I understand he had a brother named or called David and a brother named or called Tom, and this Tom was married to a woman named Sarah. Also a sister named or called Peggie. Peggy had a daughter named Mary and a son named George, born approx. 1905 and 1907. Peggy's daughter Mary married Huston Graham, they had children George and Georgette, Edward, and Willie. I have been through the censuses at ancestry.com, and I find them with their respective families, however I cannot seem to locate the information I am seeking - who were Joe's parents? Who were Leah's parents?

You know the census I needed is the one that isn't there - the 1890.......

Joe was buried along the fence row of the cemetery there in Clinton, and now a shed has been built over the top of his grave and his infant son's grave (They were only marked with rocks). Leah died in Maryville in 1963. I am not sure where she was buried.

I believe they were married sometime between 1910 and 1916.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Mrs. Turley:

You wrote:

I originally posted on this board to find just such information. If you view both my original posting and my reply to your [our?] cousin Von Rothenberger you will see my specific questions.

Since my original post here I have found out a little more about Penelope's mother -- first name: Juliet; birthyear: circa 1793; birthplace: Virginia; and that she was living during the 1850 census with her son-in-law Anderson Young at his home in Mason County, Illinois.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me directly if you wish to do so.

Rindy Bailey

jimwebster1 — 2007-01-17 18:33:07Z

In Volume 14, Number 1, January-February-March 1993 of the Pellissipian, there is a copy of a newspaper clipping about Rindy Bailey. My grandmother, born in 1890, used to tell me stories about a Rindy Bailey who visited farms in the area of House Mountain and who slept in barns. Could this be the same person? Does anyone have the article? Could you scan it an email it to me?

Samuel Cotten/Cotton father of Stella, James, Henry and Thomas

JacquelineWhedbee — 2006-10-04 16:24:23Z

I am trying to verify that Stella Cotten was born in Clinton Tennessee 28 Feb 1881.

I have nothing but family hearsay that this is the case.

Her father was Samuel Cotten/Cotton and her mother Mary Jane Fisher.

Anybody who can give me any data at all that they were actually IN Clinton would be more than I have now. I have not found a single record ANYWHERE regarding this family (other than Stella's Bible).

Stella had siblings James Mathew Cotton, Thomas Jefferson Cotton and Henry C. Cotton (Probably Henry Clay Cotton)

Any help at all with this family would be appreciated.

Stella Cotton married John Lindsey Whedbee 28 Dec 1905. Was that in Anderson County????

Lillie H. Giles wife of John L Whedbee Sr. d. Oakridge TN 1904

JacquelineWhedbee — 2006-10-04 16:22:15Z

I am searching for information on Lillie H. Giles who married Jon L Whedbee on 12 May 1897.

In the 1900 census they were living in Tennessee, Anderson Co., Civil Dist 7.

Her birthdate was listed as May of 1881.

They had three children between 1899 and 1903
Jessie Oulden Whedbee, John Oscar Whedbee and Minnie May Whedbee.

Lillie Whedbee died 24 Dec 1904 in Oakridge TN and is burried in the Robertsville Babtist Church Cemetery in Oakridge TN.

After Lillies death John L. Whedbee married Stella Cotten/Cotton (the local school teacher) so he would have a mother for the three small children.

I would be VERY greatful for any confermation or additions to this information. I have nothing on Lillie's parents.
