SECOND GENERATION
2. Jeptha CLEMMONS  He married Elizabeth (CLEMMONS). They had the following children: (this listing only follows Malinda's marriage and children)
+13 i. Malinda CLEMMONS

THIRD GENERATION
13. Malinda CLEMMONS was born in 1810 in TN; age 40 in 1850 census Wilson Co TN. Died in Wilson County, TN. She married Stephen G. GOODMAN on 22 Mar 1835 in Wilson County, TN. Stephen G. GOODMAN was born in 1815 in TN; age 35 in Wilson Co census of 1850. Died in 1860 in Wilson County, TN. They had the following children:
14 i. John GOODMAN was born in age 14 in 1850 census Wilson Co TN. Age 14 in 1850 census
15 ii. Jeptha GOODMAN was born in TN; age 12 in 1850 census of Wilson Co TN. age 12 in 1850 census
16 iii. Elizabeth GOODMAN was born in 1840 in TN; age 10 in 1850 census of Wilson Co TN. age 10 in 1850 census
17 iv. Sarah GOODMAN was born in 1843 in TN; age 7 in 1850 census Wilson co TN.
18 v. Harvey or Henry GOODMAN was born in 1844 in TN; age 6 in 1850 census Wilson co TN. age 6 in 1850 census
+19 vi. William S. GOODMAN married Martha E. LANE, daughter of James Allen LANE and Mary Jane OZMENT.  (this is my husband's line....npg)
20 vii. Frances GOODMAN was born in 1848 in TN; age 2 in 1850 census Wilson Co TN. age 2 in 1850 census
+21 viii. Robert Jackson GOODMAN  (this is Bob Carver's line)

I also think that we should list the spouses, because some of the names are the same as we go down through the lineage, and it will help others to possibly identify their line.

I am so new at the Intenet and computer research, but I do want to put together a web page. I will probably wait until Christmas Vacation or Spring Break now that school has started again. I am trying to adjust to a new teaching position this year, as well as juggle my "Mommy" duties to my 6 year old son. I will let you know when I have it ready.

Thank you for putting all together on your web site. I hope that others will benefit from the knowledge and work we have all done.

Take care and God Bless,
Kay

Hi everyone,

I am forwarding a copy of the note above from Nancy Goodman. As you can see, her husband is a descendant of Martha Coggin and Samuel Thompson Clemons. I want to give each of you her Web page address, and ask that you look at it and considering sending the information regarding your lineage from John and Ann or Allyss. You may send it directly to Nancy or to me. I have tried to keep notes about from whom each of you descended, but I may not have the exact lineage from John & Allyss to you.

I got a response from almost all of you when I sent out the last update. I hope that you will respond. I will furnish Nancy with as much as I can, but if you do not want to be added to the web site, please let me know. We will not post your information.

Nancy Goodman's web page is located at:
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~tngenny1/index.html

The new part which she is adding will be:
http://members.aol.comgenny1/coggin.html

I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your note. I agree with Kay's comments in general on Martha Coggin Clemmons but think John Coggin (Cogan) was born before 1638, about 1620. As for printing what is in my book, I have no objections to you using the material.

Nancy, have you heard of, or do you know, a Porter Briggs ? His last address that I have is P.O. Box 370, Flint Hill, VA 22627. Porter did a documentary video on Samuel Thompson Clemmons and his wife Martha. He spent quite some time in Montgomery Co. doing research and filming. Have you seen or heard of the video ?

This was about two years or so ago so don't know if he ever got it on TV or not. If I find out anything I'll let you know.

Since your husband is a descendant of Martha and Samuel, I would like to get a list of their children and a short brief of the linage to your husband, for inclusion in the book.

Enjoyed reading your web site info. Genealogy and TN, also Nancy Goodman/idx.html.

Nancy, Kay mentioned "The Descendants of Coggin, John 1620-1698" The cost of printing, binding and postage has resulted in an increase in price to $20, If I am to keep from going deeper into the red zone. Do you want a copy ?

Roy Coggin
148 Towne Sq. Dr.
Newport News, VA 23607-1508

Nancy, I need your s-mail address. I want to send you a copy of my book. Don't know how to explain, but I recently had three copies made using some good pics. and some not so good, but the're not too bad, either (my wife thinks the zeroxed ones are terrible). Anyway, send your addess and I'll send a book.

New subject, Kay and Nancy: I think the Coggin Research Team should include and start with John Coggin, Jr and (---) Moore instead of John and Allyss Elizabeth Benson. That way all of John Coggin's ancestors would be in the act. For instance, Scott Fraser is not a descendant of John and Allyss but is of Robert, son of Robert and Sara D. Green. I have several more who are ancestors of Robert rather than John. Do you both agree ?

Nancy and Kay, here are a few names I recommend we add to the Coggin Research Team, if you agree.
1) Stevie Jones [email protected] ( Alfred Coggin).
2) Patricia McClure [email protected] ( James Merritt and Nancy Coggin ).
3) Dan [email protected] ( Coggin descendant ).
4) Gail Tomlinson -- [email protected] ( Robert Jr. and Molly Green ).
5) Doris Neil -- [email protected] ( Robert Jr. and Molly Green ).
6) Ann Schultz -- [email protected] (Coggin descendant )
Love to all,
Roy

I agree, we should go back as far in the ancestry as we have our ties. And, I have already added the 6 people you mentioned to my list and I will send them a copy of the e-mail I sent to everyone else requesting that they send us their lineage.

I am going to a Thompson family reunion tomorrow. There is at least one of the family members there that is doing family research, and I have not even talked to them about the Internet. I will find out if they would like to be included. I also should contact a couple of others that are on my Cooper list, they are also Coggin descendants. With all the networking, we should bring back a lot of descendants into the "fold."

I should have asked you for an update on your price for your book. I have misquoted, but I still will tell anyone who asks that it is worth purchasing. I appreciate the pictures and I think there is a strong family resemblance between my grandfather, Henry Preston Cooper, and the picture of Simon Riley Coggin following page 44. I will try to find a picture, scan it and send it to you so that you can see for yourself...

Take care and God Bless. Hello to Fran too!
Kay

Hi,
I have been corresponding with a number of Coggin Descendants trough John and Allyss Elizabeth Benson. Roy Coggin has asked me to extend the list back to the older John Coggin, Sr., and add all of you to this list as well, since you too, are descended from this same family. I am doing so, and am forwarding you a copy of a request I have, which was made by Nancy Goodman. She is extending an invitation for us to add our Coggin family to a web page she has created. She is also involved in some of the Rootsweb Lists for TN, and the TN Historical Society, which is an area many of our ancestors migrated to from NC.

I hope to hear from you, or at least to see that you have contacted Nancy with your family lineage. Following are some of the correspondence regarding this venture, the web site address, and a list of all the addresses I have at this time, with yours added. If you do not want to be on the list, please let me know and I will remove your name. This is not intended to be anything except a way to help ourselves and others who might be trying to find information on our family heritage.

Thank you from a very far removed, distant cousin,

-------
Nancy,
thanks for your offer to put my book on the Coggin web page. I must tell you that I am a retired Col. from the Air Force and a novice but avid genealogist and do it as a hobby. I am not in the market to sell my book, but know that I can't produce them without some remuneration, because I don't have a backlog or a surplus of funds (I'm not hurting, tho'). Kidding aside, if you would like to make an entry that the book is available, you may do so.  The title of the book is " The Descendants of Coggin, John -- 1620-1698 ", the price is $20 without pictures and $35 with about 20+ pictures. ( The book is not finished and probably will never be finished, but will be the basis for additions for years to come ).

Nancy, I need your s-mail address. I want to send you a copy of my book. Don't know how to explain, but I recently had three copies made using some good pics. and some not so good, but the're not too bad, either (my wife thinks the zeroxed ones are terrible). Anyway, send your addess and I'll send a book.

Hi Nancy,

I received the e-mail from Kay Cooper regarding your web page. I would be happy to have you add my Coggin family to this web site. I mentioned to Kay that as of now I can only go back to my gg-grandfather and am still trying to find exactly where he connects to John Coggin's genealogy. I viewed the web site and hopefully am submitting the information correctly.

Burrell Coggin b. Jan.5, 1797 Montgomery Co. N.C. married Tabitha Pool b. 1802.>Jeremiah Coggin b. Sept. 6,1831 Griffin, Ga. married Mary Dickson in 1858>

Albert Sidney Coggin b. Oct. 20 1877 in Desoto Co. Ms. married Eva Clark>Sarah Louise Coggin b. January 12, 1916 married William Albert Fisher > Ann Marie Fisher(Schultz).

Hope this is what you want. I do have more but I thought what you were asking for was a direct line to my Coggin ancestor. I'll be glad when I can go back further with this line.

Ann Schultz

I hope this is what you had in mind.

Nancy and Kay, I have two more names for the Coggin Research Team:

Knox Martin, [email protected]

...Keep going, both of you.
Roy

On the 1850 census of Northampton County, Henry Coggins is listed as being 48. His wife was named Eliza(beth?), and there were several other children besides William (Martha and James, as well as an unnamed female aged 2).

Does any of this ring a bell or fit into your research? I hope so, but really doubt it. I hope you will add my name to the Coggin Research Team, and keep my information on file in case something comes along in the future.
Thanks for the help. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Knox Martin

Robert COGGIN, Jr. was born about 1774 in Franklin County, NC. He married Molly GREEN about 1794 in Franklin County, NC. She was born about 1776 in Franklin Co., NC.

Nancy, I found Ann Schultz's lost ggg grandfather. His name was Jeremiah, son of John and Allyss Elizabeth. So you can delete her search and put by her name: descendent of John Coggin and Allyss Elizabeth Benson. I coordinated this with Ann.

Second item: I noticed a T. Coggins in Hendersonville.TN. Call sign: [email protected] Do you know him ? He should be a good candidate for our Coggin Research Team. Could you, would you contact him ?

JohnCoggin and Allyss Benson > Jeremiah (b.1774) and Olivia Tucker > Burrell ( b.5 Jan 1797) and Tabitha Pool > Jeremiah ( b.6 Sep 1831) and Mary Dickson > Albert S. ( b.20 Oct 1877) and Eva Clark > Sarah L. ( b. 12 Jan 1916) and William L. Fisher > Ann M. Fisher and Schultz.

Does this clear it up ? Ann has the families of Burrell (1797), Jeremiah (1831), Albert S. (1877), Sarah L. (1916) and Ann Fisher Schultz in the mail for me to put in the book. I'm hoping to receive it by Wed or Thur.

Nancy, sorry about the confusion. If it was easy I don't think it would be as much fun. Perhaps I should add, Nancy, that the book you have shows Burrell b.abt 1803 instead of 5 Jan 1897.

If any one still has questions, please ask them.

Thanks for the nice letter. Thought you would like to read the letter from Sandra. Would love to get to Canton to see the pics Sandra described.

Hi Roy.
I'm still kicking down here in GA. I haven't been on line in a couple of weeks for one reason or another. I have been getting some wonderful mail from the Coggin Research Team. But I have something exciting to tell you. We have a new restaurant in Canton, Georgia called O'Charley's. We had my birthday celebration there last week and it was wonderful. But the news is - The main wall behind the bar has a painting of the Canton as it used to be - the old mills - Gus Coggins rock barn for his race horses and in the middle Gus in a carriage pulled by one of his famous horses. But that is not all the walls are COVERED with pictures of the Coggins family. They all say thanks to Mr. Herbert Buffington and the Cherokee County Historical Society. I could not eat for looking at the pictures. Anyway, my good intentions don't always work out. So I am sending you Mr. Herbert Buffington's name address and phone number. You will probably get to talk to him before I do. He is a retired attorney from here. His address is 130 Muriel Street Canton, GA 30114 and his phone number is 770-479-6283. Can you tell me how to send you some information if I have it typed in Word. I don't know how to do an attachment. Talk to you soon.
Sandra

Scott pointed out the death dates on the two Johns. That makes sense

You had asked me about Worlinda Reeves. I believe that I typed that name into the wrong space, and I will find out where I got the name Reeves. In Douglas Slater's work, I only found the name Worlinda for Zacariah's wife, but not Reeves. I'll track down my notes and see where I found the name.

When I sent you my information, did a page of notes come through on Levina Kenneday and Bazel Burton? I have their children listed on a page of notes, but I did not put them onto the family group sheets.

My original source for Coggin information was a book, handwritten, for the most part, and copied by Mr. Douglas Slater. A lot of his information came from a Genealogist named Hobart Bartlett (who has passed away.) Mr Slater is not a Coggin descendant, but Bartlett was, and I think one of Mr. Bartlett's children lived in Salt Lake City, and was going to continue their father's work. (The name of his book was The Coggin Family of Ridgetop, Tennessee 1662 - 1988.)

I talked to Mr. Slater in 1995. His phone number at that time was (615) 851-6779.

These are some of the loose notes I had in the Slater's book:
In my notes I have Robert Coggin Sr. married to Sarah Green, d. of John and Ann Green, s of John/Jacob Green (from WFT.) and Perseverance Johnson, son of Edward Green of Great Welbraham, Cambridge, England.
Robert Jr. was married to Mary Johnson, daughter of James and Rebecca (Darden) Johnson. This information is in my notes from the phone conversation with Mr. Slater.

There was a woman living in Atlanta, that was a descendant of the 2 daughters of Tom Ryman (Steamboat Industry Giant) and Jonathan or Jordan Coggin's sons Riley and Augustus. One was Pearl Ryman, the other was Daisy R. She was a Mrs. Jones. She was in her 90's in 1995. Her address was 405 Manor Ridge Dr. Atlanta, GA 30305 (404)355-6837. I just found a note in the back of the book, Mrs. Jones was born 1-1-1899, so she very likely is no longer living. It also states that her mother was Daisy Ryman and her father was Augustus Lee Coggin, grandson of Jonathan. Jonathan's brother Jordan was the one that settled and in No. GA. (He died in LA, according to Mr. Slater.) Pearl Ryman married Raleigh Coggin, also the son of Jonathan.  

You also asked about the Campbell. According to Douglas Slater, Jordan married a Campbell (he has a ? by Caroline,) a daughter of William Campbell and (?) Moss. She and Jordan lived in Smith Co, I think he means TN. He states that Smith Co. did not keep vital records at this time, and has only census records to go on for the children's ages. Robert Campbell would be the boy 10-16 years old on the 1820 census. Jordan was over 45 at that time, thus the birth date of before 1775. It goes on to talk about the girls and the fact that the 1800 census (NC) showed 1 child, and he thinks this was Mary Jane, who married Robert Dillard. Another daughter married Dick Nichol. In 1850 Robert C. was raising 3 boys named Nichol. Robert Campbell married Nancy Spencer Jones. It looks like they had 6 children and are the ancestors of the Coggin families that live in the same area today. (I have some names and a couple of addresses in the back of the book.)

There are many other Coggin's in this book. I have never taken the time to add them to my files.

I also some of the Coggin family members in the TN area. One of them sent me the copied of the book. She was not interested in the research. Her family had somehow been connected with the building of Ryman Hall (The Grand Ol' Opry House.)

Jonathan Coggin was one of the brothers that went to TN, then to Cherokee County, GA. He later went to California, where he was killed by Indians. Jordan Coggin was also in Cherokee County, where Jonathan went.

Mr Slater has many references and documentation is supposedly in his files. I think I remember him saying something about the local Historical Society, or Genealogical Society. At the time he compiled this book, he lived in Madison, TN. Nancy may be able to help us find the original files that Mr. Slater refers to throughout his references. The Robert Campbell Coggin family appears to have been prominent citizens of their community.

This has been longer than I expected it to be, so I am sending it to Nancy and Scott also. I have been adding things to it each evening for the last few days.
I hope that what I sent you was Coggin information, and not my entire backup disks. I have not taken the time to learn how to send Ged-com files, yet. I'll get there, but in the meantime, I have sent a lot of useless information to a few people (such as all my Tyler family info. to the man researching the Cotton's. Oh, well, he got just a little more than he needed.)

...Take care and let me know if there is anything else you would like to know about Mr. Slater's work.........

Here is a new member of the team:

Here is his response to the note I sent.
"Sure, please add me to the list. I go to a family reunion every year down in Lebanon. Its a Clemmons familyreunion. I will look over the sites you sent me and get back to you.
Thanks!"
He will get back to one of us with his [list of how he descends]...
Kay

Kay,
Just got back from Isle of Wight courthouse and library trying to reconcile the differences in birthdates for the children of Robert and Sarah Green Coggin. Couldn't find anything so would you let me know what you and Scott have. Would appreciate very much.

Also found the book by Blanche Adams Chapman. Found some info which may be of interest to Knox Martin. Sent you and Nancy a copy under separate e-mail.

Kay, am interested in Hobart Bartlett or Douglas Slater's book "The Coggin Family of Ridgetop, TN". A lady I often talk to knows, or knew, Mr. Bartlett who is a descendant of Willis Coggin who was drowned in Caney Fork River in TN. I will call Mr. Slater soon and he may know if and where a copy may be found. Mr. Bartlett has at least two daughters ( one in Salt Lake,UT and one in NY) and a son.

Thanks for the info on Sarah Green's ancestors and Mary Johnson . I entered the info in my book.

Kay, the Mrs. Jones you mentioned is the daughter of Agustus Lee "Gus" Coggin and Daisy Ryman ( dau of Green Ryman who built the Ryman Auditorium home of "Grand Ole Opry). She is the one who brought her Dad back to Canton, GA fron CO just before his death from lukemia at age 84. This is the family of Sandra Coggin Strickland (CRTeam).

Yes Kay, I got notes Levina Kennedy and Brazel Burton and their children. Thanks.

When at Courthouse I picked up the Last Will of John Green. It's hand written by some JP and hard to read but can be read. I have many wills and many deeds and many Indentures, if you want any.

Have you heard anything from Bill and Jene Benton since they moved to MO from AZ ? I think they will let us know when they get settled.

Roy

Thanks for the information from Isle of Wight on the possibility of the marriage of Henry and Elizabeth. I will check the material here from Isle of Wight and see if I can find anything. Appreciate the help on your end. Hopefully somebody closer to VA than I am can find something. Looking forward to hearing about any results.
Thanks to the group!

Hi Coggin gang:
The Coggin web pages have been updated with a new member as sent in by Kay Cooper:

One question I have: Are we generally in agreement that the spelling is COGGIN, without the "S"? I know when you are researching you have to look for the spelling with and without the "s", but I wanted to be sure before I remove the "s" from anybody's listing on the Table of Descendants page, in order to make it uniform........

NancyG in TN

Coggin without the S. Yes. Leave that be. I think it is more correct--it is found that way earlier. The Lee/Itawamba Co. MS Coggin clan -- descendants of Joshua Green Coggin who was the son of Robert, Jr. who moved from Franklin Co., NC, to Maury Co., TN, preserved the name with no S, and wears it that way today. --
Gail Shepard Tomlinson
Senatobia, MS

Mine is spelled with an S on the end. I am trying to find at what point the S was added. Some professor who E-mailed me but I lost his address. Said some of his family added the S because it sounded better.
Sandra Coggins Strickland

Hi Nancy,
I dropped the "s". Sounds okay to me.
