Smith Co. Queries 2nd Half 2003
I am trying to find info on the James Ewing family. James was born in
1758. He died in 1810 in Smith Co. TN. He had the following
children: John, James, Ruthy, Ruben, William P., Alfred, Melinda maybe
more. I am interested in his son John. John married Elizabeth Dillard
in 1805 in TN. County unknown. I am looking for this couple's
children. I know of Christopher, Osborn, Sidney, James and William.
This family moved from TN to Gallatin Co. IL around 1811 and then to
White Co. IL where Christopher was born in 1818. Then they moved to
Logan Co. IL in 1829. I have been given 9 other names for children
in this family but there are no mention of them other than the 5 sons
of John and Elizabeth. Does anyone have more info on this family.
Thanks

Mary Ann LUCK md. John C. Griffith about 1826 in TN. They are in the
1830 census of Jackson County, TN. Mary Ann inherited or was given
land by George LUCK, who I believe was her father. The only George
Luck I can find in early TN was a George M. LUCK, who is in the 1830

I am looking for information re the death of Jonathan Pickett, who
was the Smith County Clerk from 1819-1835 and died before the
compilation of the 1837 tax list. He was born ca. 1793 in Virginia;
his wife was Mary Vance. He had probably been a filibuster in the
Mexican War of Independence in the 1810s. What I'm really wondering
is whether the end of his term as clerk and/or his death had any
connection with the Texas Revolution in 1835-1836.

of the 16 acres were near the Sara Creek and west of the Clear Fork

My grandfather (HC, son of Robert CHAFFIN, son of Harvey Chaffin)
told me that Harvey Chaffin's father was John. (My grandfather proved
right in every small detail which he gave me, and this was twenty
years before PC's or on-line research, so I cannot throw it out until
someone can give me some solid proof that it is otherwise.) Anyway,
he could not remember his gggrandmother's name (John's wife), and he
told me to get in touch with Oakley Chaffin and that he would know.
Unfortunately, this was over 20 years ago. Does anyone know who
Oakley Chaffin is and whether or not I can reach him? If you do,

Searching for family of my ggg grandmother Susan Caroline OAKLEY. My
uncle has been searching for many decades and has a formidable data
base established, but documents we seek may not be readily available
but will come from a family bible or family letters. We do know that
Susan Caroline and her husband Garrett Spencer JAMES (son of Daniel
JAMES c1799-1854 and Sarah Unk. JAMES; grandson of Bartlett JAMES,
Sr.) lost touch with families after their marriage.
Susan Caroline OAKLEY (18 October, 1826 TN -perhaps Wilson or Smith
Co / 23 January 1907 Crittenden County, KY) married Spencer JAMES
before 1850.
Susan and Garrett JAMES migrated to Crittenden Co, KY c1850 and had
11 children [Thomas Nathaniel JAMES, Martha Elizabeth JAMES, Margaret
Frances JAMES, Horace Andrew JAMES, R.S.A. JAMES, Mary Jane JAMES,
William Lewis JAMES, Garrett Smith JAMES, Julia C. JAMES, and Idelia

Caroline OAKLEY who married a Mr. James in the
