VAUGHAN/VAN HOOK FILES: From research report by : Mary Gregg For: Billie M. Goldwire 25 Oct 1998 "...Like you, I wonder why Thomas Vaughan was made guardian of Joel W. VanHook. And was this your Thomas???? I know a little bit about the VanHooks because a sister of my great-great grandfather, William H. H. Rhodes, married Robert C. VanHook of Union County, Arkansas, formerly of Caswell County, North Carolina. From things in my very thin VanHook file, I see that one David VanHook (d. in NC ca 1784-5) married Lucretia Bumpass [There were Bumpasses in Wilson County, TN] and had, among others, a son named Jacob VanHook who married Nancy Jones. I think - but am not certain - that it must be this Jacob who was the grandfather of Joel W. VanHook...." "...Looking through back issues of The North Carolina Genealogical Society Journal, I found several other references to Jacob's heirs: (NCGS Vol. VII, No. 4) (Power of Attorney filed in person County, North Carolina) 4 Jul 1845, William E. Rodgers and wife, Nancy J. of Rockingham Co., NC, appointed William S. Van Hook of Rockingham Co., "to receive...money as may be due said Nancy J. Rodgers from the sale of the lands belonging to Jacob VanHook (grandfather of Nancy J. Rodgers)..." (ibid) also filed in Person - Hope H. Skeen and Winney/Winna I., his wife, (formerly Winney/Winna I. Van hook) of Wilson County Tennessee , 23 Sep 1845, appoint Kindle/Kindal Van Hook of Caswell County to receive $151.50 due as heirs of Jacob Van Hook, Sr. "late of Halafax Virginia..." (NCGS VIII, No. 1) (Filed in Person Co.) A. L. Van Hook of Davidson Co., Tennessee appoints Jacob T. Van Hook ...all that is due said A. L. Van Hook in Person Co., N. C." [Doesn't say he was Jacob's heir, mg] (ibid) Thomas Van Hook of Greene County, Alabama, 31 Oct 1848, Appoints Augustin Van Hook of Person County "to sell ...Lands...in the county and state last named above..." [Doesn't say he was Jacob's heir. mg] Maybe I'll look for these VanHooks and Skeens in Wilson County sometime to see if I can learn anything useful" [NOTE: I have this day written to Mary Gregg, sending copies of the material received from postings of Matthew & Evan Van Hook. bmg] ######### I have checked my VAUGHAN files and find the only references I have to places of residence, other than Wilson Co., in TN is: Sumner Co., Crockett Co., and Haywood Co. In VA: New Kent Co., King & Queen Co., Henrico Co., and Pittsylvania Co. In KY: Christian Co. In GA: Madison or Franklin Co. and in MS, Monroe Co. No mention of PA, NJ, nor of any shipbuilding connection. If I could get my scanner to work I would scan these pages in and post them but that not being an option, I will gladly snailmail copies to all who might be interested. Billie Ann Goldwire

TN. (Also following are some more questions) Thanks to Willis for the Sypert lineage info. It was interesting that many Syperts came from CHATHAM Co. NC, as that is where I believe J.J. Straughan was probably born. This lends a little more weight to that assumption. I can't find any evidence that J.J.came to TN. with any other Straughan family members, so I have always wondered who he traveled with amd why he settled in Wilson Co. Does anyone know of other Wilson Co. families from Chatham Co. NC?? Thanks to Bob for the info on the Miller will that was proved 1851. The timing of that will COULD be significant in explaining the Miller children, John , James, and Elizabeth, who were living with the Haynes families in 1850 and 1860 censuses. (There was a marriage between a Miller and Haynes in Williamson Co.TN and I had thought they could be these children's parents due to the Miller/Haynes connection. However, I found that family in the 1860 Williamson Co. Census and they had a son "John T.", ironically the same age as the John Miller in the Haynes household that same year. Also ironically, there was a "John T. Miller" in the 7th TN. Inf., which was organized in Wilson Co. and was supposed to be comprised of men from Wilson Co. However, John T. enlisted in Sumner Co. the same month that "James P. Miller" enlisted in the same troop but in Nashville. Does anyone have any more info on this troop, as to county composition and enlistment locations? And to Sara "Hi" and there is no real hurry on the pictures. I had promised you the death certificate info on the Andrew Strawn who died in Ark.in 1914 but I've run into a snag. The Arkansas library does not have their death certificates on microfilm and you have to be a parent, grandparent, child or guardian to get a copy from Vital Records. Does anyone know a good resource for death cert. info. from Arkansas?? Maybe the library there will do an obituary look-up. However,that may not work if the death occurred in a county other than the county of residence. Is there a good internet resource?? Thanks again for the responses. Pat

From Military Annals of Tennessee, Regimental Histories and Memorial Rolls, the section of the the 7th Tenn. was written by J.H.Moore, a member. He states, "The Seventh Tennesse Infantry, Confederate States Army, was organized at Camp Trousdale, in Sumner County, May 25, 1861, and consisted of ten companies, of which six were from Wilson, two from Sumner, and one each from Smith and DeKalb counties...." it goes on for 30+ pages telling about the different battles they were in, deployment of troops, etc. A must reading for anyone whose ancestor was a member of the 7th. The service record of my ancestor Olive B. Stroud states he enlisted May 20, 1861 at Nashville. He was from Wilson County and a member of Co. F. Rick Saunders Salt Lake City, UT

There are two things that are written incorrectly in this. First, the name should read DRENNAN instead of DREMMAN. It also shows Ramath L. SMART Drennan "leaves to mourn her loss two sisters" should read "two daughters." Ramath L. SMART was d/o Phillip SMART and Abijah SUMMERS Wright. From: Triweekly Colusa Sun (California), 10 May 1917 MRS. R. DREMMAN DIES AT AGE OF 91 YEARS Mrs. Ramath Dremman died in this city last night at 11 o'clock at the age of 91 years, 4 months and 10 days from disorders attendant upon old age. Mrs. Dremman resided for some six years in the Grimes section and is quite well known in this county. She leaves to mourn her loss two sisters, Mrs. T. Chinn of Grimes and Mrs. L. W. Boggs of Susanville, Lassen county. There are also surviving two grandchildren, Mrs. Van de Mark and Mrs. J. F. Chinn. The funeral will take place in Suisin tomorrow at 4 o'clock. Her late husband is buried there. Mr. and Mrs. Dremman arrived in California, settling in Santa Rosa, in 1857. Mr. Dremman died in 1906. End of Obit Note: Ramath L. SMART married Thomas Jefferson DRENNAN in Rutherford Co TN 27 Sep 1851. He was s/o James DRENNAN & Frances W. DEVAULT of Wilson Co TN. Thomas Jefferson DRENNAN was a twin to Andrew Jackson DRENNAN who married Sarah P. SMART in Rutherford Co TN 23 Sep 1850. Imogene Bennett ibennett@mail.orion.org

X-Message: #11 Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1998 18:05:55 EDT From: EleanorCol@aol.com Subject: [TNWILSON-L] Owen LANE, father of Nancy Ann LANE, b ca 1801? I did a lot of researching on OZMENT and LANE today. I feel that Owen LANE found on the 1820 census of Davidson Co, TN with a daughter 16-26, might be the elusive father of my Nancy Ann LANE, b ca 1801, NC, who married Alfred OZMENT in 1823 in Davidson Co, TN. Alfred and Nancy lived in Wilson County, TN after their marriage. I thought I would share so that maybe you could give me some ideas. 1810 Guilford Co, NC census: Page 171 Jonathan LANE 1 male 26-45, 4 males<10, 1 female 26-45 Samuel OZMENT 1 male 45+, 1 male 26-45, 2 males 16-26, 1 male 10-16 1 female 16-26 2 between Owen LANE 1 male 45+, 1 male 10-16, 2 males<10 1 female 45+, 1 female 16-26, 1 female<10 ********* Next door! James OZMENT 1 male 26-45, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 10-16, 3 males<10 ******* 1 female 26-45, 1 female 10-16, 3 females<10 Now James OZMENT I believe is the one who is in 1820 Wilson Co, TN. I have a copy of an old letter that says that James was the father of Alfred, not John which most Ozment researchers have as his father. As you can see, Alfred, b. ca 1805, NC would fit in perfect with the three males < 10. Nancy, b. ca 1801, NC fits perfectly with the 1 female under 10! Am I crazy for hoping. Indidentally, Owen LANE's Rev. War pension file says that he was born in Caroline Co, MD where Richard OZMENT is supposed to be from too! His file says he was born ca 1755, enlisted in Caroline Co, MD, and afterwards moved to Guilford Co, NC and then Davidson Co, TN. I also found records of an Owen LANE buying land in Wilson Co, TN in the 1820's. The point is, wherever the OZMENTs are, so appear to be the LANEs. Look at the others I found in 1810 Guilford Co, NC: Page 156 Jonathan OZMENT 1 male 26-45, 2 males< 10, 2 females 26-45, 2 females<10 Page 157 William LANE 1 male 26-45, 2 males<10, 1 female 26-45, 1 female <10 This could be Nancy but I think William stayed in Guilford Co, NC Richard OZMENT 1 male 45+, 2 males 16-26, 1 male 10-16, 1 female 26-45, 2 females 10-16 Page 159 John LANE 1 male 45+, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 10-16 1 female 45+, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 16-26, 2 females 10-16 Page 169 Jesse LANE 1 male 45+, 1 male 10-16, 1 male<10 1 female 45+, 1 female 10-16, 1 female<10 Page 181 Reuben LANE 1 male 26-45, 2 males<10 1 female 26-45, 1 female<10 Page 183 D. OZMENT 1 male 26-45, 2 males 16-26, 1 male 10-16, 1 male<10 1 female 16-26 J. OZMENT 1 male 45+, 2 males 16-26, 1 male<10 1 female 45+, 1 female 26-45, 1 female 16-26, 2 females 10-16 1 female<10 Anybody out there recognize these LANES?

Bonds were posted prior to the issuing of the required marriage license in some states and were the sole document required in others. Bonds were posted by the groom alone or with a second person, usually the father or the brother of the bride, to defray the costs of litigation in the event the marriage was nullified. Bonds were posted in the jurisdiction where the marriage was to take place, often in the bride's home county. These bonds, the only marriage records maintained in some jurisdictions, were usually annotated with the marriage date after the ceremony. It was rare for a marriage not to take place within a few days of the posting of the bond even though many bonds do not bear the annotation. Although the missing information could mean that the marriage did not take place, more often it reflects poor record keeping or failure on the part of the justice or minister to report the marriage to local officials. Hope this helps. Kay Cockrell Kazmir, kkazmir01@sprynet.com The Cockrell Connection 4204-C Duval Rd Austin, TX 78759 (512) 342-1019

He moved around from place to place and did not leave a will. He married where a courthouse burned, he mended all his fences. He avoided any man who came to take the U.S. Census. He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame, And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed his name. His parents came from Europe. They should be on some list of passengers to the U.S.A., but somehow they got missed. And no one else in this world is searching for this man. So, I play geneasolitaire to find him if I can. I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he was blessed; but the weather took engraving, and some vandals took the rest. He died before the county clerks decided to keep records. No family Bible has emerged, in spite of all my efforts. To top it off, this ancestor who caused me many groans, Just to give me one more pain, betrothed a girl named JONES!

X-Message: #12 Date: Sat, 17 Oct 1998 08:58:33 EDT From: Brobpat@aol.com Subject: [TNWILSON-L] ROUTE FROM NC TO WILSON CO. Several persons are interested in knowing the route our ancestors took to reach Wilson County from NC. According to my third grade history book, TENNESSEE: IT'S GROWTH AND PROGRESS, by Robert H. White, 1947, p. 160-163: "FIRST STATE-DIRECTED ROAD IN TENNESSEE COUNTRY. If the new country, now Tennessee, were to prove inviting to settlers, then roads had to be made in order to enable people to come into the new region. North Carolina, the mother State, gave encouragement in this matter in 1787 by ordering a road to be 'cut' from the south end of Clinch Mountain to Bean's 'lick.' PETER AVERY, a hunter in the Washington District, was selected as guide to direct the blazing of the trail through 'The Wilderness.' This 'trace' crossed Clinch River, and entered the Cumberland Mountains. It twisted up Crab Orchard Mountain, passed 'Standing Stone' (now Monterey), and followed a rambling course by way of Fort Blount to Nashville. Over this trace came a number of immigrants to the Cumberland Settle- ments in 1788. In that company were such notable persons as General WILLIAM DAVIDSON, Judge JOHN McNAIRY, and ANDREW JACKSON. "At first, this 'road; was merely a tyrail that had been marked by blazing trees to guide the pioneers on their way to the Cumberland Settlements. For a number of years, only pack horses could follow the trail. But about 1795, it began to be called a 'waggon road.' As rough and winding as the road was, it was the chief passage to the Cumberland Country until 1797. This road is generally known as the NORTH CAROLINA ROAD or AVERY's TRACE. "SECOND ROAD: the LOTTERY AND ITS FAILURE. In 1794, the territorial Legisla- ture ordered a road to be built from South West Point (now Kingston) to the 'settle- ments' on the Cumberland River in the Mero District. These settlements later became what is now Nashville. The cost of the cutting and clearing out of the road was to be met with funds raised by a lottery. This lottery scheme for raising funds was simply a game of chance. But, for the next thirty years, lotteries were approved by the Legislature for various purposes....There were in all three thousand and one hundred tickets. Three thousand of the tickets were to be sold at five dollars each. The one hundred tickets were to he held by the commissioners and placed in a drawing in the name of the territory....The lottery, however, was a failure....This was the first road in Tennessee to receive any promise of money from the State for its construction. The road began near South West Point (now Kingston), crossed the mountain at or near the present town of Crossville, and continued on to Nashville by way of the present town of Carthage. This road became known as the WALTON ROAD, which is one of the historic roads in Tennessee." ***** The WALTON ROAD went from Crossville and skirted the northern edge of Cookeville (back in the 1940s and 1950s) in Putnam County on its way to Nashville. I think that there is still a street just north of the Tennessee Tech campus name Walton Road. There is a map of the earliest roads on p. 160 in the above book. I know my SMITH-TARVER-MAHOLLAND-DENTON-BAKER-POWELL-BABB, etc. ancestors used this second or WALTON ROAD route, as BENJAMIN TARVER, my gt-gt- gt-uncle, wrote that his mother, HANNAH SMITH TARVER, fell out of the wagon into the Clinch River on their way to Wilson Co., and she never recovered her health (even though she lived another 30 yrs). Hope this helps you! Bob - ye olde history professor

Apparently parts of the road were made of rough cut logs laid down crosswise. The museum also has one of the old wagons--it was a great exhibit and I hope they still have it. Crossing the rivers must have been an ordeal even if one didn't fall out of the wagon. Liz in Watertown

Vivian, Not yet. I have your Martha RUTLAND in my database as well (I'm a HEWGLEY hunter too). However, I don't know how my Mary (Johanna?) RUTLAND, nor Martha RUTLAND, connect to the better-known RUTLAND family of West Wilson County (Blake RUTLAND & descendants). However, in the 1850 Census, in the Wilson County household of Rutherford RUTLAND (Blake's son), there is a Martha C. RUTLAND age 22. Our Martha RUTLAND was already married to Lewis HEWGLEY by 1850, but then again, Lewis married his 3rd wife on 14 Dec 1848, just short of three years after marrying Martha RUTLAND on 21 Jan 1846. I suppose it is possible that Lewis and Martha didn't "hit it off" and she moved back home to daddy, thus showing up in Rutherford's household four years after marrying Lewis HEWGLEY, and sporting her maiden name. Do you know any pertinent dates for Martha? I kinda thought she might have died between 1846 and 1848, but that might not have been the case. Greg Tomerlin Lebanon, TN greg.tomerlin@nashville.com

I have never seen it mentioned on this list. I would like to know what cemeteries and old funeral homes are around there although in the late 1800's and early 1900's most of the funerals took place in the home or maybe the church. I am looking for any BARNES family members that are buried around there. Especially Solomon BARNES or Calvin BARNES but I would take anything I can get. My uncle said when Solomon's sons were old enough to work he would hire them out to big farms for 10.00 a month with room and board and the money they made was given to him to pay for their own farm. His sons were, William, Edward, Walter, McDonald, and Albert. Maybe someone has one of these sons showing as a boarder living with one of your families? Any help would be very much appreciated.

It is on the Old Statesville Rd, about a mile south of Watertown. The only Jennings Cemetery I know about is the large one in Statesville, which again is not really a family cemetery, although there are a number of Jennings' buried there.

If you think of something that will make the TNWILSON-L list better, be sure to jot it down and send it my way. Thanks, and good luck!

This is from the Winfree Family Record Book. So, she is the right age. I just don't have a marriage bond to link her. One source said she may be the Tuck that ended up in Georgia.
