This is how I feel as well. While my Wilson Co. lines don't come up on this list very often, I am always aware that the people that are discussed were their neighbors and friends. Since I have been on this list, I have figured out who Sterling and Lucretia [Pettypool] Tarpley and their son John and his wife Sarah [Davis] evidently named some of their children for.

Mine only as a list of gravesites prior to 1900. I am trying to locate the grave of Meedes Tarpley Anderson. He died on Nov 13, 1913. His parents and grandparents are buried there so hopefully he is as well. Also a name of the person or association who cares for the cemetery would help as they may have a list of grave sites. I know the cemetery has recent burials in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

X-Message: #3 Date: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 13:45:02 -0600 From: Donna Hinson <dhinson@hal-pc.org> Subject: Re: [TNWILSON-L] Early Roads You can see what the Natchez Trace from Nashville through MS to Natchez was like for early travelers. Parts of the old road are preserved--wide enough for a wagon. Must've been horrible when muddy. Also, traders took their goods down by boat, sold everything and walked or bought a horse to return on the Trace to Nashville. Robbers lay in wait for them since they knew they were returning with money. We drove the Trace from Nashville to where our ancestors settled 100 miles north of Jackson, MS and found it very interesting and a pleasant drive. Would recommend it to others. There is also a small book out by William Dollarhide called "Map Guide to American Migration Routes." Can be ordered from AGLL.

X-Message: #6 Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 17:43:23 EST From: RobCOLL224@aol.com Subject: [TNWILSON-L] Re: Dr. John Stanfield LAIN, TN>KY, cont. The following is the rest of the article on Dr. LAIN as contained in "Simpson County, KY Families, Past and Present, 1819-1989" compiled by the Simpson County Historical Society and published by Turner Publishing Company, Paducah, KY. "....He [Dr. John Stanfield Lain] first married Mary A. daughter of Dr. E.D. and Bettie (Hobdy) Fonville (1849-1876). Born to them: a son Edgar H. and a daughter Fannie Belle (1866-1932). Edgar died in California. Fannie married William Wallace Hunt (1841-1898). Their children: Nancye Lain (1885- ) married Jim Bourland, Houston, TX; John E. (1889-1954); Daphne C. (1891- ) married P.H. Latham, Phoenix, AZ; Alvis G. (1894-1982) married Jennie Lamb, and William Wallace II (1887-1966) married Orlee Tarpley (1896-1960). Their children were William Wallace III (1930-1970) married Betty Nesvarba, and had two daughters, Karen and Jill; Ella Lee (1934- ) married Richard Hershberger and their children are Becky, Mark and Jane. Their home is in Allen Park, MI. Fannie Lain Hunt's second marriage was to John H. Williams. Their son Charles Butler died in Maryland. Dr. Lain's second marriage was to Burnett Hatfield (1849-1898), daughter of Samuel (1808-1885) and Rebecca Smith Hatfield (1809-1873). Born to them were Myrtle (1879-1949) and Thurman (1888-1971). Myrtle married Charles Robert Johnson (1874-1962) and they had three daughters: Burnett married Harold Gillenwater; Laura married Kenton Mullins; and Rebecca married Jack Hall. Rebecca has a son, Jerry Lain who married Diane Stelflug and they have two children, Wade and Wendy. Rebecca's daughter, Linda, married Albert Perkins, Jr. Thurman Lain married Gilbert Boyd (1913-1930) and they had two sons. Martin Lain Boyd married Mrs. Helna Limerick Hershey of Savannah, GA. James William Boyd married Arline Miller of Scottsville. They had one daughter, Marsha Lynn Boyd (1941-1988), who married Elvis Smith Donaldson, Jr., and they have a son Elvis Smith Donaldson III." I have double-checked my transcription for accuracy, particularly the names and dates, and hope that it does not contain any errors. I did notice that the book reads: "Thurman Lain married Gilbert Boyd (1913-1930) and they had two sons." Thurman would have to be a female and Gilbert would had to have fathered two children by the age of 17. I don't know if this is correct or not. I hope this information is of use to someone. Happy New Year to everyone! Robyn

Even if not a descendant, perhaps someone might have knowledge about their children. Both are buried in the Hooker Cemetery. He was s/o Jonathan Frizelle HOOKER & Margaret GWYNN. She was d/o David F.

However, I have no place of birth & deaths for these children which leaves this family information very incomplete. Although not a HOOKER descendant, we were invited and attended a reunion of that family in Lebanon MO probably 20 years ago. I don't know whether this is an annual event or not. Thanks for any help.

FANNY HARALSON married THORNTON LANE, March 2/3, 1824, by JACOB SULLIVAN, with VINCENT HARALSON, bondsman * * * * DR. J. S. HARALSON, farmer, was born August 2, 1832, in Davidson County, TN, and is the son of ZARA and MARGARET (HESSEY) HARALSON. The father was of English descent, born in 1802 in Halifax County, VA, and was a farmer by occupation. He came to Tennessee and in 1824 was married. In 1829, he bought 500 acres in the Twenty-second District, Wilson County, where he died in 1879. He was twice married, and was the father of six children, three of whom are living. The mother was of Irish descent, born in 1803 in Virginia. She died in 1836. Our subject was reared without a mother's love or training, she having died when he was but four years old. He was educated in the country schools and in Booth Spring Seminary. At the age of twenty-four he commenced the study of medicine, which he continued for three years. In 1854, he entered the medical department of the University of Nasfhville, and took a course of lectures. October 18, 1856, he married SARAH SANDERS, a native of Tennessee, born in 1840, and the daughter of THOMAS SANDERS. To Mr. and Mrs. HARALSON were born five children: LEONARD, JAMES, SAMUEL, CHORUS, and BEULAH. In 1857, he began practicing and continued until the war, when he enlisted in the Second Tennessee Cavalry. He was in the battle of Coffeeville, Belmont, and numerous skirmishes. In February, 1863, he was discharged and returned home, settling near the old home place. After his father's death he moved to the old homestead, where he has since resided. Dr. Haralson lost his wife in 1872, and in 1880 he married M. F. GLEAVES, a native of Tennessee, born in 1854, and by this union became the father of three children: ZARA, MARY and ETTA G. The Doctor now owns 381 acres and is a Prohibitionist. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and he and wife are members of the Baptist Church. [Goodspeed, p. 1099] In the above account, note the discrepancies in dates. ZARA HARALSON's two wives were cousins. His first wife was the daughter of JOHN HESSEY and REBEC- CA HEWGLEY, in whose cemetery the first wife, MARGARET, is buried. Also, the HESSEY and HEWGLEY families were not Irish. The HEWGLEY family was definitely Huguenot and from Alsace-Lorraine. The HESSEY family were most probably German and from the duchy of HESSE. * * * * * NANCY LEA HARALSON''s father, JAMES LEA, was the son of WILLIAM LEA and his wife, FRANCES MAJOR. ANNE HERNDON LEA was the daughter of EDWARD HERNDON and his first wife, MARY WALLER of King and Queen Co., VA. [last two items from Casey, p. 561] Hope this helps. Bob

X-Message: #1 Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 21:19:28 EST From: Sbocko3001@aol.com Subject: [TNWILSON-L] Re: STITES, ADAMSON, DODD I have a rather unusual problem. I can't find 3 LEVI STITES married MARY ADAMSON in Wilson Co. Tn at Lebanon in May 1822. At some point they went to Marion Co., IL, Patoka Twp. with other Adamsons. Levi and his family are found on the 1830 census there WITH CHILDREN. By 1834 there were living in Wilson Co. TN when their son and my ancestor Joseph M. Stites was born. In 1837 another son was born in Dekalb Co. where Mary Adamson's apparent father was living. (May be part of Wilson that split off to become Dekalb about that time so her father's family didn't necessarily move) About 1838 Levi left Dekalb Co. and went back to Illinois where according to Brinkerhoff's History of Clinton and marion Co., Ill, he lived at CARRIGAN Twp. instead of return to Patoka. By 1840 he was in Franklin Co., Mo. Boone Twp around other Stites with Tennessee connections and probably his close relatives. But on this census, an older boy than Joseph appears with the family, the wife is younger than Mary Adamson Stites would have been and there seem to be 2 little girls. MARY ADAMSON died before Dec. 1841 when he married for the 2nd time. Where she died and where she's buried is unknown but by this time (of his marriage) Levi is living in Greene Co., Mo. springfield is the county seat. On the 1850 Census Levi Stites and his wife Elizabeth Adams (fborn Wilson co.,TN) are living in Polk Co., Mo. again right in the middle of his wife's family. The children listed in the home are the 1 known child born Dekalb co., TN 1837 and the rest are the children from his marriage to Elizabeth Adams. Joseph M. is missing, the older boy on the 1840 census is missing and so are the 2 small females from the 1840 census. I found Joseph Stites born 1834 in wilson Co on the 1850 Census of Tennessee living with Joseph adamson who is apparently his grandfather. But the 2 little girls are missing. Fortunately for tracking these people, Joseph adamson died shortly thereafter. His will lists: the children of Levi Stits and mary adamson as being Joseph, Alex, Anna, Holly/Polly and another child name unknown. Holly/Polly are mentioned as being minors and the "wards of H.N. Dodd". H.N. Dodd is no doubtedly Hiram N. Dodd who was married to Jinsey Adamson and probably the Uncle by Marriage. So what's the problem???? 1. What happened to the children listed on the 1830 census in Marion Co., Illinois. As I recall there were 3 to 5 of them. Did they die? Is that why Levi and mary returned to Tenn. so that she could have her next baby is safety??? 2. WHAT happened to the little girls listed in Joseph adamson's will? I have NEVER been able to find any record of Anna and Holly/Polly Stites. Yet I KNOW that Anna survived because of a letter written in 1966 by the youngest child of Alex who wrote to my grandmother that Anna was Alex's favorite sister. I have a picture of her as an adult taken in Colorado Springs but at an unknown age. She did not marry in any places where Levi lived. I have checked the marriage records where Levi lived. I have checked the marriage records for counties surrounding Dekalb Co. TN. These little girls were NOT on the 1850 census of Polk Co. with their father. They are NOT on the 1850 census of Dekalb with their apparent grandfather Joseph adamson. they do not appear to be on the 1850 census of any adamson in Dekalb Co. But I would think that because Hiram Dodd was mentioned as the guardian of these minors in the will of Joseph Adamson probated in Dec. of 1851 that the girls are somewhere in Tennessee. 3) Although I have searched the Tennessee records along with other people looking for the Stites family. The ONLY records of STITES (frequently misread as Stiles) I find in the entire state of Tennessee AFTER the 1822 marriage of Levi is the record of a John Stites, orphan, who about 1848 was given as an apprentice to an Amos Griffith in Dekalb Co. That John Stites is found on the 1850 census of Dekalb Co. but then totally disappears. I have NEVER been able to even track him in another state. Although it has never been supported by official records, according to a Yeargin/Yeargan family bible, apparently there was a William C. Stites born 1816 who married Catherine Yeargin/Yeargan born 1819, daughter of John Yeargin/Yeargan. supposedly they were married somewhere in the middle Tennessee area in 1838. If anyone has any comments or additional information on ANY of these people, I would be grateful to receive it. Susan

X-Message: #4 Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1999 22:03:17 EST From: Brobpat@aol.com Subject: Re: [TNWILSON-L] Wilson Co Migration patterns Yes, the state of TN was quite divided over the question of secession. The eastern third of the state (roughly from Crossville to the NC border) was not condusive to slave owning for large-scale farming purposes and the region from the late 1790s wanted TN to be a free state. When secession was happening all around, Governor ISHAM GREEN HARRIS was very pro-South and tried very way he could to get TN seceded. A plebiscite voted against secession, April 9, 1861; He even sent troops and aid to the Confederacy BEFORE the state seceded.

Gov. HARRIS was the first cousin of my ancestor, ALFRED H. HARRIS (b. 1790) who lived and died in Wilson County. When the HARRISES came to TN from NC, the Governor's branch settled in Williamson Co. and mine in Wilson Co. Their fathers, ISHAM GREEN and JAMES, were sons of ISHAM HARRIS and MARTHA GREEN. Bob

People The Panic of 1837 was attributed to the banking policies of ANDREW JACKSON. He did not like the U. S. Bank and so he attempted to get his then Secretary of the Treasury to withdraw the national deposits from that institution. He refused and was forced to resign. JACKSON called in ROGER B. TANEY and asked if he would have any scruples in removing them, and TANEY said "no problemo". He became Sec. of the Treasury, the deposits were withdrawn and afterwards deposited in what were called JACKSON's "Pet Banks"...state banks. As a result, these state banks became to speculate and overextended their making loans, etc., and many failed during the period called "the Panic of 1837". TANEY was later appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, succeeding JOHN MARSHALL. It was TANEY who wrote the majority opinion (decision) in the DRED SCOTT v SANFORD (1857) case, which ruled that blacks were not citizens, even if they were free, and could not become free, even if their masters took them into a free state where the institution of slavery was forbidden by law. This decision did much to add fuel to the blazing fire which would engulf the country in 1861. The Panic of 1837 does not seem to have had very much adverse affect in TN, at least in Middle TN. JACKSON, by the way, had close ties with Wilson County. He had an office in Lebanon at one point, owned lots of land in the county, and had many dealings with Wilson Countians, particularly the horse breeding and racing people. My gt-gt-grandmother, ISABELLA GLEAVES CARTMELL, inherited a thoroughbred filly of the same bloodlines as some of JACKSON's horses, from her father, MICHAEL GLEAVES. The two men were apparently racing and breeding rivals. According to newspaper accounts, MICHAEL insulted JACKSON and had to make a public apology in the Nashville newspaper. This incident is printed in most of the JACKSON biographies. [MICHAEL was the father and uncle of the Davidson and Wilson Co. GLEAVES families] Bob

Frederick Law Olstead, designer of Central Park in NYC, made a series of trips through the South just prior to the Civil War and, being paid to do so, wrote articles which were printed in the NY newspapers about his travels. He found that the so- called famous "Southern hospitality" was only partially true...people offered him food and lodging in their homes, but he considered many times the prices he paid were rather steep for the "services rendered."

TARVER who was the son of SAMUEL TARVER who made his will July 4, 1830 in Wilson Co., TN, and proved March 4, 1833 [W&I, 1832-1834, p. 120f]. He mentioned: (1) son, THOMAS D. TARVER (2) wife, FANNY TARVER, to receive house where JOHN T. HAIL formerly lived (3) three children, THOMAS D. TARVER, FANNY EWING, and MARY B. HUDDLESTON (4) executor, son, THOMAS D. TARVER witnesses were SILAS TARVER and BENJAMIN T. TUCKER This SAMUEL TARVER was most probably the brother of BENJAMIN TARVER (d. 1821) who was the father of the SILAS TARVER, witness to SAMUEL's will, and the father of ELIZABETH ASBURY TARVER who married JOHN POWELL and was my gt- gt-gt-grandmother. This SAMUEL TARVER could have been a first cousin, also. It is my contention that BENJAMIN and SAMUEL were among the several sons of SAMUEL TARVER and his wife, MARY. This older SAMUEL made his will May 23, 1778 and it was proved at the December Court 1778 in Northampton County, NC. He mentions: (1) son, JOHN TARVER (2) son, SAMUEL TARVER (3) son, BENJAMIN TARVER (4) daughter, PENNY (5) daughter, MARY BANKS (6) daughter, SARAH JORDAN (7) daughter, ELE(ANOR) TARVER (8) daughter, HANNAH TARVER (9) all my children, names not given (10) executors were ANDREW TARVER and THOMAS PARKER witnesses were JOHN MADER, BENJAMIN TARVER and ANTHONY MOORE A TARVER researcher in TX believes the father of SAMUEL and BENJAMIN to have been ANDREW TARVER, whose will is not dated, but was proved at the March Court 1780, Northampton County, NC. He mentioned: (1) daughter, MARY TARVER, and her husband, JACOB TARVER (2) daughter, ELIZABETH HARRIS, and her husband, ABSALOM HARRIS (3) daughter, LINDA LOW, and her husband, JOHN LOW (4) daughter, PATIENCE TARVER (5) daughter, PRUE TARVER (6) wife, ELIZABETH (7) son, JOHN TARVER (8) son, JOHN, to receive residue for support of the brothers until the youngest son comes of age and then divided equally among my four sons (9) executor, son, JOHN TARVER witnesses were SAMUEL TARVER and BENJAMIN TARVER The third possible parent for my BENJAMIN, but not for SAMUEL, was JAMES TARVER, who made his will September 22, 1775 and it was proved at the March Court 1777, Northampton County, NC. He mentions: (1) son, HARMON TARVER (2) daughter, MARTHA LEWIS (3) daughter, NANCY VASDON (4) daughter, SARAH ANN VASDON (5) daughter, LUCY ROWELL (6) son, BILLISON TARVER (7) son, JAMES TARVER (8) son, BENJAMIN TARVER (9) son, MICAJAH TARVER (10) son, THOMAS TARVER (11) daughters, CHARLOTTE T. TARVER (12) daughter, SILVIAH TARVER (13) daughter, BETSEY TARVER (14) wife, LUCY TARVER (15) executors, BILLISON TARVER and JAMES TARVER witnesses were JOSHUA WHITE and MARY (x) WHITE JAMES TARVER, SR., married LUCY SEAT, daughter of BILLISON SEAT whose will is dated February 12, 1784 and proved at December Court, 1786. None of the wills coincide with information contained in extant biographies of members of the TARVER family. The one for Judge BENJAMIN J. TARVER of Wilson County, TN, (son of SILAS TARVER and his wife, NANCY HARRIS), states that his grandfather, BENJAMIN TARVER, fought at the battle of King's Mountain with his five brothers. This would seem to conclude that JAMES and LUCY were the parents....however, BENJAMIN TARVER, JR., son of the King's Mountain soldier, wrote an Autobiographical Sketch in the 1870s and he states that his father had an older brother named JOHN who converted to Methodism and became a Circuit Rider. Also that BEN Sr.'s father died around the "close" of the Revolutionary War (which could mean almost anything, since there was relatively no action between 1781 and 1783 when the treaty was signed). As BEN Jr. was not born until 1804, his memory about the exact time his grandfather died could well be erroneous. The memory of JOHN, the uncle, however, was a significant one because this conversion was responsible for BEN Sr, and family becoming Methodists, too. Further, BEN Jr. states that at the grandfather's death, the care of the widowed mother and several unmarried sisters fell to his own father, BEN Sr. Since JAMES and LUCY had no sons named JOHN and SAMUEL, and the home plantation was left equally to sons THOMAS and MICAJAH, it is my theory that they must be discounted as parents of my BENJAMIN and, thus, SAMUEL the younger. Since ANDREW and MARY did have at least four sons (or five sons, if one reads the entry "my four sons" to mean the four left in the care of eldest son, JOHN), perhaps these four included sons named SAMUEL and BENJAMIN. However, my BENJAMIN was born in 1760/1, which would have made him 20-21 years old at the time ANDREW's will was probated...and thus of legal age. And the home plantation was willed to JOHN. So this would discount ANDREW as father. Which leaves SAMUEL and MARY TARVER. This SAMUEL willed the home plantation to son, BENJAMIN, which agrees with the Autobiographical Sketch; there were at least three sons, all with the "right names" JOHN, SAMUEL and BENJAMIN, and there were "several" unmarried sisters left to be cared for by BEN, Sr. So I lean to SAMUEL and the father. A final circumstantial piece is that BENJAMIN TARVER, SR., and his wife, HANNAH SMITH, named no son ANDREW or JAMES. Neither did their daughter, ELIZABETH ASBURY TARVER, who married JOHN POWELL. They had a host of sons, WILLIAM, JOHN G., EDWARD SMITH, BENJAMIN, SAMUEL, GERMAN SILAS, and ALEXANDER...but no ANDREW or JAMES. Judge BENJAMIN J(AMES) TARVER (above mentioned) was named for his two grandfathers, BENJAMIN TARVER (father of SILAS) and JAMES HARRIS (father of NANCY). FANNY TARVER, widow of SAMUEL TARVER, (d. 1833) was the widow of JONAS T. HAIL, who made his nuncupative will which was proved at the June Court, 1804, Northampton County, NC. It mentions: (1) son, WILLIAM HAIL (2) son, JONAS (3) wife, FANNY HAIL (4) daughter, REBECCA HAIL witnesses were LEMUEL LONG, ROBERT ELLIS, H. WEBB. "The above nuncupative will of JONAS HAIL, was brought into Court by SAMUEL SUMMERILLE for probate.

Of course, having spent much time attempting to "find" my Stites and Adamson plus related people in the Wilson/Smith/Dekalb/Warren County area (I do EXTENDED genealogy), I immediately recognized some of the information as data I already have. However, I don't think your efforts were in vain because there is always the possibility that someone else has found something you haven't. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! Orginally my intention was to PROVE that Levi's Stites' father was the same Isaac Stites who married Anna Butler and who descended from a Dr. John Stites born 1595 London in order to get my 84 year old mother a DAR pin, the project has really evolved into more of a one name study on the Stites family. I have an enormous amount of material but am no further along in my goal than when I began. Much of the difficulty in researching the Stites is PRECISELY what you pointed out - the misspelling of the name or misreading the name as STILES. Even my own grandfather's signature looks like Stiles. It was only this year that I was able to confirm that ENOCH STILES on the Wilson Co. records (married Caty Wilson, widow of Hugh McCoy in 1819 and also the witness to Jessee Adamson's Will) and the only way to confirm that a person was truly a STITES is to find a living descendant by the name of Stites or who is personally aware that the name was Stites thru family oral history. The other chief obstacles are the facts that Levi always lived on the frontier as it pushed west and also in areas which suffered big losses due to warfare during the War between the States, etc. Now combine that with the number of REAL StiLES living interspersed among STITES and the 2 German families to came to this country in 1745 and in 1835 (anglicized the spelling of their names to STITES) and you have a seemingly insurrmountable task. I am hoping as more material is introduced on the internet that I can eliminate a lot of duplications in my database of about 18,000 STITES and Related families as well as get information in areas where I have personally visited to research and didn't catch. What truly amazes me is that there were so many STITES who lived in this central area of Tennessee but so little information found on them in the records. By the time one can find the Stites family in Missouri in the 1830's with a proven direct connection to either Smith or Wilson Co., there are at least 11 heads of families, but the relationship BETWEEN them can only be ASSUMED and not proven. There was a John Stites in Smith Co. as early as 1806 or so. He was gone by 1818 or so. There was also a David who enlisted in the War of 1812. The only 2 people that I can confirm still in the area are Levi Stites and Enoch Stites after that. John is ASSUMED to be the parents of the 10 other family heads I find in Missouri. I am NOT including My Levi Stites as a child because the oral family history is that his name was William Isaac Stites. It was written by Martha Davis Stites, granddaughter of Levi, that he was the son of Isaac Stites and Anna Butler but I have found no hint that they ever left the state of New Jersey. Additionally I have FOUR birthplaces for Levi born 6 October 1801. One son on the 1880 census said his father was born in VA. The 1880 census for Joseph M. Stites said his father was born N.C. The family thought he was born in Tennessee (which was N.C. BEFORE his birth) Levi said on 3 out of 4 existing census that he was born in KY. I have never been able to find a place where Levi could have possibly fit in on the various Stites families in Ky. in 1801. The oral history of the family relays the information that there was SOME connection between Levi and Cincinnati, Ohio. Major Benjamin Stites was the person originally responsible for the settlement of the Miami area and the 1st known white person to set foot there. However, again, I can find NO confirmation of this, despite the large number of Stites who were in the area. The VERY FIRST PLACE I can pinpoint Levi is when he married Mary Adamson in Wilson Co., TN in 1822. One other little blurp was that Levi supposedly had a brother who was an attorney, and was affiliated with a college in Illinois. Levi's son found on the 1850 census of Dekalb supposedly walked, tho crippled all the way to Illinois to study with this Uncle John. However, I have never been able to identify any of the John Stites in Illinois at this time as affiliated with The Law OR a college. Therefore the bottom line is that I will be GRATEFUL for ANY information anyone sends me that could anyway POSSIBLY relate to this family ANYWHERE!!!! I keep everything in a computer devoted to this purpose even if it is NOT a Stites so that if I run across the information again, I can immediately dismiss it. I think I've covered about everything I know about Levi Stites between this post and others. I;'m wondering how long you and others who may be reading this have been able to hang in there until this point. The story of Levi is boring and enormously frustrating because it has an ending but no beginning. Susan

X-Message: #8 Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 14:10:44 EST From: Brobpat@aol.com Subject: Re: [TNWILSON-L] Bridges - Powell First, the legend that POWELL families are descended from a founder of Jamestown. This is probably the Capt. WILLIAM POWELL who appears in the earliest records. Unfortunately there are no extant records that I know about which would prove a father-son line of descent from him to any of the several POWELL families that appear in the later 1600s in VA and NC and spread south and west into TN etc. My own gt-grandfather, JOHN MICHAEL POWELL (b. 1841) in his Confederate pension paper stated that his own great-grandfather came to this country from England. I think that this is most probably incorrect as his great-grandfather was WILLIAM POWELL who died in Franklin County, NC, by 1785, as shown in the probate records of that county. What appears is a POWELL tradition in my line, at least, to name the eldest son after the paternal grandfather...son WILLIAM (d. 1785) was father of JOHN (b. 1782) who was father of WILLIAM TAYLOR POWELL (b. 1813) who was father of JOHN MICHAEL (b. 1841) who was father of WILLIAM BABB POWELL. There were JOHN POWELLS alive prior to 1785 in NC and VA who could well be the father of the first mentioned WILLIAM (d. 1785) Second, if the other POWELL families in Wilson County are related to mine, they are either descended from brothers or uncles of the above WILLIAM (d. 1785), as he had only one son, JOHN, and one daughter, MARY. So the verdict is still out about just who founded the POWELL family(ies) from whom I descend. The WILLIAM C. POWELL mentioned in the post on BRIDGES-POWELL is not in my particular family line. The only WILLIAM POWELL I find getting married in Wilson County between 1845-1864 was the WILLIAM POWELL who married MARTHA JANE DONNELL, August 8/9, 1849, by JESSE A. VOWELL, JP. Bob

I had a hard drive crash on Monday and have lost EVERYTHING! Now I discover that "saving" does not necessarily mean "safe". I now know to save to a disk! When I came back online yesterday, I received 325 messages, yours included, which gave me addresses and websites to reenter. (A lesson learned the hard way) Having been on the computer only 3 months, I still have lots to learn and am sure more mistakes will be made, but not this one again. Diane Weathers <weatherd@ix.netcom.com> answered my query concerning the death date of Anne FRIZELL HOOKER. She actually went back to the HOOKER cemetery and checked on the dates for me. She verified that what a relative had written on the HOOKER and FREEMAN families (written in early 1900's, I think) was indeed correct. Annie Frizelle HOOKER died on April 6, 1862 at age 93 years. Dianne said the tombstones in the HOOKER and CHANDLER cemeteries were beautiful. I wish I could get a picture of my HOOKER and CHANDLER ancestors' graves. Now, to find the descendants of Anne and Benjamin Freeman HOOKER, II who fought in that battle and the more than two dozen grandsons and great-sons who fought for the Confederacy. Lots of research to do. If anyone knows of any of the descendants of Anne FRIZELLE and Benjamin Freeman HOOKER,II, I would love to hear from them. Concerning the FREEMANS and HOOKERS. The letter sent to my husband's great aunt was from Ruth Eddins SHELTON of Covington, TN. Ruth wrote the information on the FREEMANS and also sent a family history written by Nancy Redley Hooker EVANS, of Mississippi, daughter of JOSHUA HOOKER. Ruth copied and added to this HOOKER history. The history of the HOOKER family includes family stories passed down, along with remembrances from the author. If anyone is interested, I will type up these histories and send them out. Would it be appropriate to send them to the list? Maybe divide them into sections? Send them as an attachment to individuals? Let me know if you are interested. (If an attachment to individuals is preferred, then let me know HOW to do that. The only program I can use now is Wordpad, for Microsoft Word has to be reinstalled, which may happen next week.) Dwight - I also have info in my EDDINS files on OZMENT. I'll send it to you if you like. Could you share the info you have on EDDINS & HOOKER? Let me know what if preferred.

I have a question concerning listing of place of burial in my records. Hope someone can help. Diane Weathers gave me the information that "the HOOKER Cemetery is actually located in Gladeville, TN, about 8 miles sw of Lebanon. In the early part of the 1800's I would probably find the HOOKERs in Rural Hill, which is the same as the Suggs Creek area (then and now). Sometimes Gladesville was called Partlowe and even further back it may be found as Pond Lick." My Hookers didn't move, just the community names changed. QUESTION: If Anne FRIZELLE HOOKER died 1862, and I am listing on my family group sheet the place of death and place of buriel, what town would I use, the place of burial as the name where the cemetery is now located, and the place of death as the town name when she actually died?

TN at the time of their deaths in 1911. Jessie was my great-aunt. This is what I know about the family. Richard was born in Wisconsin abt. 1863. Jessie Sand was born in Wisconsin March 19, 1859 of Phillip Sand and Mary Marson Sand. She grew up in Eau Galle, Dunn Co. WI. Richard and Jessie were married June 5, 1889 at the Methodist Church in Eau Galle, WI. His occupation was listed as railroading. According to his obituary, he had been a conductor for the Tennessee Central and Southern Railways, running between Nashville and Harriman. He had a brother, W.H. Fox who was the ex-superintendant of the same company. At the time of his death, he was incharge of prisoners at the city hall. In attempting to arrest a person who had skipped a fine, he was shot and killed. His funeral was April 24, 1911 from a Lebanon Methodist Church, and internment was at the Cedar Grove Cemetery. Jessied died shortly afterwards. Her funeral was June 18, 1911 at the same church and her burial was at the same cemetery. They left two children, Gladys and Arthur, ages unknown. I would appreciate any information about this family. I can supply a great deal of information on Jessie's ancesty. Jeanne Wingert jwing654@frontiernet.net

In the Quarterly Court Records it lists "securities" followed by several names. Would you explain what this means? Would they likely be family and close friends only or would they include officials in the local gov't/court? I recognize some of the names listed as securities but not all. Also, in a related matter one of the items you sited was- >MARGARET JAMES died by January 3, 1859, when CARROLL LEWIS was aptd admr with >securities DANIEL JAMES and W. A. JENNINGS. Bond $1500. [QCR, 1858-1862, p. >10] > >CARROLL LEWIS, admr et al - Petition to sell slaves - It appearing that MRS. >M. C.

So ordered. W. A. JENNINGS, regular >guardian of his minor children named as petitioners; that DANIEL JAMES was >regular guardian of RUFUS JAMES, also named as a petitioner; and that SAMUEL >AYRES was regular guardian of BUCHANAN JAMES, named as petitioner. [Ibid., >January 4, 1858, p. 14] Margaret McMinn Lewis James (wife of Buchanan James, Sr.) was the mother of Daniel James, and mother-in-law of W.A. Jennings, but I see Carroll Lewis was appointed administrator when she died. Just thinking of common practice, would Carroll Lewis most likely be a relative of hers or a court employee?

Donna - Thank you for mentioning that the Hooker Cemetery is actually located at Gladesville, TN, about 8 miles sw of Lebanon, and also for mentioning Suggs Creek, Partlowe and Pond Lick. I have been trying for years to learn the exact location of Pond Lick and if it still exists by that name. The Land Records of Wilson County reveal that on November 18, 1815, Benjamin Nichols deeded to the Trustees of the Methodist Church, to wit: George Avery, William Anderson and John Hancock, one acre on Pond Lick for the purpose of building a meeting house. George Avery and John Hancock were both my great great grandfathers. I've tried to learn the exact site and determine if a Methodist Church still exists there that dates from 1815. Anyone know?

X-Message: #3 Date: Sat, 2 Jan 1999 18:47:43 EST From: LaJoMo@aol.com Subject: [TNWILSON-L] SANDERS/SAUNDERS IN WILSON CO I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I am hoping someone on this list will recognize my Wilson Co Sanders or at least give me some suggestions or direction. I am open to any and all comments on my "brick wall". My gggrandfather was Samuel Sanders/Saunders born May 24, 1812, Louisa Co VA. He married Mary Sanders in Wilson Co TN April 08, 1834. Bondsman was James Lyon. They had four children in TN. 1. Unknown female 1835 2. George 1836 3. James 1837 4. Martha 1838. They migrated to Logan Co Ky in 1838. Other Wilson Co people who went to Logan at the same time were: Alexander Sanders (his brother?), M. T. Motsinger, J. T. Motsinger, A. H. Parrish, John Edding (1854), N. P. Campbell (1849). These people are in Gordonsville, KY. Samuel married Mary Holloway, daughter of Mitchell Holloway and Catherine Valentine, in Sumner Co TN Jan 03, 1842 and brought her and her mother to Logan Co. He had three surviving children too old to be Mary Holloway's. I cannot find anything on the death of Mary Sanders or their oldest child. Samuel and Mary Holloway had twelve more children. I am descended from their son, Isaac. I cannot find the parents of Samuel or his first wife Mary. Alexander returned to Wilson Co to marry Ann Chic and bring her to Logan Co. The 1820 Louisa Va index lists five Saunders: David, Julius, William, Thomas and Ruben. I got this from the library in Richmond last summer. Unfortunately, my library has nothing on Louisa Co VA. I was in Wilson Co this past November and looked at land records and wills and came away with no leads. My conclusions: Mary Sanders had to be on the 1830 Wilson Census in someone's household as the marriage license states she had to be a resident of the county. Samuel is in someone's household in Wilson or Sumner. Does anyone have any information on any of these people? Where do I go from here. I appreciate any thoughts anyone has on this problem. Thank you, Joyce Sanders Moore

Have you checked this? It would appear that in District 2 there are an awful lot of TENN/NC folks. In that same district, same pages actually are several children living with families with different names, i.e. Abraham Eddings, age 1 living with John and Susan WHITSON. Polly PARRISH age 14 b. TN living with Reuben and Elizabeth Saunders both in their 70s both born in VA. Catherine HOLLOWAY age 50 b. VA living with Samuel and Mary SAUNDERS and their apparently 8 children. It appears that perhaps Mary might not be the mother of all these children as there is a 5 year gap between the 3 oldest and the 5 younger children. Living next door is Robert W. SAUNDERS. Listed in that household is a mix of folks with some being Saunders and some being PARISHes. If you haven't seen this census I can send you more data. I would also be most happy to check for any other missing Wilson Co., TN folks who may have migrated to Logan Co., KY and be in the 1850 census. Some names I recognize that were also in Wilson Co include: WILLIAMS, PAGE, WHITLOW, CAMPBELL, ALLEN, SHORT, CARR, RAGSDALE, COPELAND, etc. BTW there is a very large group of Shakers here in District 1 with birthplaces from all over.

Securities in Wilson County tended to be obtained from one of three categories of persons: (1) close relatives of the bond poster; (2) friends and/or neighbors; (3) the district's justices of the peace.

X-Message: #3 Date: Sun, 03 Jan 1999 16:10:12 -0500 From: mozment@pop.erols.com Subject: [TNWILSON-L] EDDINS & HOOKER Donna, Sorry to hear about the hard drive crash. I wondered why we had not heard from you for a while. Yes, I also "learned the hard way" to back up those files you need to keep on a floppy disk, particularly genealogy files. Glad all us subscribing to TNWILSON-L and your websites had addresses for you to re-enter. Lot of work however - like "Humpty Dumpty". Glad you were able to confirm death date of Annie (Frizell) HOOKER. I knew the Battle of Shiloh started on April 6, 1862 and continued through April 7, 1862, but Diane really varified the death date when she actually went to the HOOKER cemetery ,read the tombstone and was kind enough to respond. Re: the descendants of Annie and Benjamin Freeman HOOKER,II who fought at Shiloh - You might check the index to volumns of TENNESSEE, THE VOLUNTEER STATE, 1769-1923 in your larger libraries and TN State Archives. There is also a web page under Ancestry.com which gives the full context for that series and the surnames are listed alphabetically with rank and references to the volumn in which each each person is listed. The web page (it was still usable as of 5/23/98) is as follows: http://search.ancestry.com/ I realize it is a l-o-o-o-n-g URL, but if you are careful to include EACH dot, equal symbol, dash, etc., you should be able to open the file. You might start with that TN directory to soldiers by the name of HOOKER who fought for the Confederacy . Once you have the Regiments and Companies to which each man was assigned (and some served in several different Regts. and Co's), you can apply for the service records of those individuals (which includes full names, where and when they enlisted and other personal family information). You would get these records from the following: Reference Service Branch (NNIR) National Archives and Records Administration 7th and Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20409 And request copy of: NATF Form 80 (revised) Fill out the forms, giving as much information as you have on each soldier and mail to the address listed on the form. I think they ask whether you want only service record or pension record. Send no money with the initial application. I believe the cost is about $10.00 for each application processed, but only if they find a record. They will notify you if they find a record and then advise you how much to send. It takes several weeks to get the application, get it processed, advise you of results, send money and finally get your records, so apply ASAP. It is well worth the trouble and time spent. If you want to go one step farther and try to locate a photo of your Confederate/Union soldier (particularly the officers) after you have as much info as possible on the individuals, you may want to contact the following: Dept. of the Army U. S. Army Military History Institute Carlisle Barracks Carlisle, PA 17013-5008 Attn: Michael J. Winey, Curator wineym@carlisle-emh2.army.mil (wineym) Also, there is a MHI home page at following: http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/ which contains a link to their Photo Database. Or you could directly contact by phone the following: MHI Special Collections Branch at 717-245-3434 ,or another web site MHI-SC@CARLISLE-EMH2. ARMY.MIL I know this is more than you asked for, but I hope you have great success researching the Benjamin Freeman HOOKER, II descendants who fought at Shiloh. I'm certain there are other TN military historians on the TNWILSON-L list who can provide you with other references concerning TN regimental histories and maybe (with REAL luck) a HOOKER soldier's personal diary. I would love to have a copy of the HOOKER family history, but I will leave the matter of how to send it up to the majority who request same. Some of us can receive and "open" documents sent as attachment to the INDIVIDUAL in any format. Others can open in text format only, so it is difficult to send the material as attachment to individuals unless you know how they receive and open. I think I am also correct in my understanding that the TNWILSON-L web site does NOT accept any attachments, but please correct me if I am mistaken. Donna - Yes, please do send me info in your EDDINS files on OZMENT. Problably best to send by U.S.Snail Mail (JUST KIDDING, POSTAL EMPLOYEES-YOU REALLY DO A GREAT JOB!). Send to: Dwight W. Ozment 2044 Shady Branch Trail Richmond, VA 23233-3262 I will share the info I have on EDDINS & HOOKER if you will provide your mailing address in the materials you send to me.

I'll start getting your EDDINS - OZMENT info ready for you. To ALL: I would like to know if there are those who would like to read the HOOKER FAMILY HISTORY written in 1889 by the granddaughter of Benjamin Freeman HOOKER and Anne FRIZELLE. This history was sent to my husband's great aunt in about 1925 with a letter on the FREEMAN family. The HOOKER, CHANDLER, and EDDINS families were in Wilson Co. in the early 1800's. This History gives remembrances and sweet stories about the families and Wilson Co. I would like to know if there is enough interest for me to post this HISTORY on the list, in segments, or to send it as an attachment to individuals. Since my hard drive crash last week, I will have to type it into Wordpad. (Does that send as a text file? Can everyone open Wordpad?) The other way would be to send it to the list in about 3 or 4 segments for all to see. It's a wonderfully written account of the family and descendants by a woman who fondly remembered her times in Wilson Co, TN. Thus far, the information appears to be fairly accurate and I would love to hear of any additions or corrections. Many allied families are included. Let me know what you prefer.

X-Message: #9 Date: Mon, 04 Jan 1999 12:43:21 -0800 From: "Don, Diane & Darren Weathers" <weatherd@ix.netcom.com> Subject: [TNWILSON-L] Giliad Meeting House Its too cold in Dixie to do anything but pound the keyboard...at home...and close to the fire. So, while stuck in the house, I ran across a "Gladeville" article which I though might interest some. Diane, in Wilson County TN ~Giliad Meeting House~ Religion was always foremost in the hearts and minds of the early settlers. Their first act after acquiring a cabin home was to establish a place of worship. More often the first place of worship was in some home in the settlement. Selecting a site and building a meeting house followed. The ministry of the early churches was supplied by a circuit riding minister. This traveling preacher was always cordially received in the settlement, for he not only served the pulpit, but brought the only outside news from the other settlements. The conditions were not different with the early settlers on POND LICK, the present Gladeville community in southwest Wilson County. It was on the east bank of Pond Lick Creek and approximately one mile north of the Lick, that George Avery, William Anderson, and John Hancock, trustees for the Methodist Conference, secured one acre, including a spring from Benjamin Nichols on November 18, 1815, for the purpose of building a Methodist Meeting House. As far as can be ascertained, this was the first Methodist meeting place in that section of the county and only preceded by the Suggs Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Chuch, organized as a Presbyterian congregation in 1800. There were already settled on Pond Lick, John Rice, having acquired 214 acres from Andrew Jackson in November 1800; George Avery, a Revolutionary War soldier and a Methodist layman had been paying since 1803 on 120 acres on Pond Lick Creek; so was Jacob Sullivan for 200 acres on Sinking Creek. Also nearby the Benjamin Hooker family in 1808 had stopped by a magnificent spring, the headwaters of Suggs Creek. John Spinks, a captain in the War of 1812, author and Methodist Preacher of distinction, had settled in 1810 some 500 yards east of the church site. Spinks' wife was the daughter of James Crawford, a close kin to Andrew Jackson's Crawford mother, doubtless, Jackson with vast land holdings in the area, often visited his Crawford kin on Pond Lick. Rev. Spinks, presumely was one of the foremost leaders in this old church's beginning days. There, too, were others by this time settled in the Pond Lick area. Just when the name Giliad was given to the church or the exact date of the building is not known. We do know that it prospered for a number of years and was widely known as the old Giliad Campground. In 1827, Giliad membership consisted of 76 whites and 4 blacks and the Sunday School enrollment was 67, one of the largest in the county. Alexander Askew [Eskew] was the class leader, Lee Hancock and Joshua Hooker (son of Benjamin Hooker) were the Circuit Stewarts; Jacob Sullivant [Sullivan], William Murray, and Joshua Hooker served as elders and deacons. Old Giliad began its decline after the establishment of the Gladeville Methodist Episcopal Church, on six acres deeded in 1833 by Benjamin Hooker for a school and church. Also nearby on the old Franklin Road, the Liberty Hill Methodist Protestant Church had been established in the early 1830's by the Rev. Spinks. This was the only known Methodist Protestant Church that ever existed in Wilson County. However, mention is made in a land deed in 1857 as being "bounded on the east by the Giliad Church", so one can assume that Giliad was still in existence at this date. Today, far from any accessible road, only remains the ever flowing Giliad Spring. Long ago the last remaining stones from the church's chimney were cleared away to make way for the plow. Standing on the site, one can still feel the presence of those by-gone days of powerful preaching and gospel singing. Written by Robert L. Martin, 1983; Member of the Mount Juliet West Wilson County Historical Society and former editor of "The Historian", published by The History Associates of Wilson County.
