Harvey and Maude had a double wedding at MiddleCreek Baptist Churchwith Harvey's sister, Merle, and Lilburn Owens.

**************************************************************************************
Harvey McGlothin met May Sexton in Scott County TN when he and histhree children boarded at the same place May was boarding as shetaught in a local school. May would walk to school with and home withRuth.

Per Marie's son, Johnny, Marie didn't think too highly of May afterMay and Harvey were married. John, Marie's husband, would tease Marieby telling his children to call May Grandma or Grandma May. Mariewould say, "She ain't nothing to them." Marie and May were friends,Johnny said, but only to a point.
Observation by myself: it must have been difficult on all three ofHarvey's children when he married a woman their age, and especiallywhen May had Madge and June. 06-03-07

***************************************************************************************

Harvey and May McGlothin lived on Back Valley Road in Coalfield TN forall of their married life. It was the same house Harvey and his firstwife, Maude, lived in.

June remembers when the house was remodeled. May had the houseremodeled and changed the Mansard roof and the upstairs. Originallythe house had a porch on the east and west side and possibly on thenorth side and may have been t-shaped. May had those porches takenin. In later years, the rooms that were once the porches sagged.There would have been only 3 rooms downstairs then--the living room,the bedroom that was always called the "front" bedroom and thekitchen, which was to be grandma mcglothin's bedroom as we knew it.The steps to the second floor were originally on the west side of thehouse, on the opposite side of grandma's bedroom that they whilegrandma was alive.

The kitchen became a room that spanned the width of the house. One ofit's features was built in cabinets that were flush with the wall.These were white and had small doors, upper and lower cabinets.Grandma's floor was red and white tile and she had a red metal kitchentable and chairs.

Grandma's counter tops in the kitchen were red, too. But they werekind of soft, like tile. They wrapped around one end of her kitchenand the cabinet nearest the wide opening to the dining room haddrawers that opened out towards the center of the room. It also had aflat surface that opened out. This is where grandma kept hersilverware (top drawer) and her kitchen towels.

When Grandma decided to move home from Oliver Springs, Dad (JesseKesterson) redid the kitchen and put in new cabinets. Somehow thatend cabinet, the one with the silverware, ended up upstairs. Aftergrandma died, I brought it home and was going to refinish it. Idiscovered that it was one end of a roll-top desk.

Grandma's house had a wide front porch with a swing. Jesse Kestersonsat in the swing a few years after mom (June McGlothin Kesterson) diedand said he had spent many, many evenings in that swing with Mom.

The front porch had brick steps that went to the ground, then wideconcrete "landings" that went on down the hill, and finally more stepsthat went down to the road level. There was a rock wall about six oreight feet high that lined the roadway for a bit.

The steps going to the second floor were steep and dark. A stringattached to a chain at the bare-bulb light fixture and to a hook nearthe bottom of the steps was used to turn the light on and off--thelight being at the top of the stairs.

There were double windows at each end of the open second floor.Poppaw McGlothin or someone had built four or five "file" cabinetswith doors that open instead of drawers and were held closed by smallblocks of wood that were held in place by a nail.
These sat on the second floor with their backs to the stairs andprevented one from falling down the stairs. As a child, I loved to goupstairs and look in these. They were full of littletreasures--fountain pens, stamps, paper. After grandma died, we foundfive of these. I have one of them, but it isn't in good shape and hasbeen painted white.

In an undated interview with May McGlothin, she said that "Harvey" stayed with Rachel & Cecil Carson "and all her kids", which is where he met May, who was boarding there, too.

On another occasion, May talked about the woman who ran her boarding house (may not have been the Carsons) and said that the woman opened May's mail and read it. She wanted May to marry her son and didn't want May to receive correspondence with anyone else.

PIONEER RESIDENT OF BROKEN BOW BURIED WEDNESDAY

Funeral services for John M. Adcock, age 77, were conducted at the Methodist church here Wednesday, June 19, at 2 p.m. with Rev. Paul Hively, pastor, officiating.

Burial was made in the Broken Bow cemetery. Pallbearers were Wes Henry, Eurby Hill, Roy Binger, Rex Chandler, Tom Creed and M. McCarroll. He was born in Georgia, July 30, 1863 and had been a resident of Broken Bow and McCurtain
county for the past 24 years. Mr. Adcock and his son C.A., came to Broken Bow from Doddridge, Ark., in 1916, bringing with them 500 head of cattle. At one time he owned practically all of what is now known as Hall addition.

Later he put in a grocery store in Broken Bow which he and his sons operated from 1918 until 1935. At one time they operated the largest grocery concern in this section, serving people from every section of north McCurtain county.

Men like J.M. Adcock have proved to be the backbone of progressive movements in Southeastern Oklahoma, and especially does McCurtain county owe much to his
memory.

Mr. Adcock joined the Methodist church in 1913 and has been one of its staunch supporters since. He was accepted in the Masonic Lodge Number 441 of Broken Bow in 1919, raised to the degree of Master Mason the same year, and has been
an honored and acceptable member for 21 years.

When en route to the funeral of his sister seven years ago, he was crippled in an automobile wreck. His half sister, Mrs. A.L. Sibert of Doddridge, Ark., came here in August, 1939, when his second wife died, and kept house for him
until he married again a few months ago.

He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Eva Cox of Broken Bow; two sons, J.P. Adcock of Golden, and C.A. Adcock, of Broken Bow; three half-sisters, Mrs. A.L. Sibert and Mrs. Effie Brown, Doddridge, Ark.; and Mrs. Alice Howell, Texarkana, Ark., a half-brother, Dob Adcock, Hope, Ark., ?? grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Also a host of other relatives and friends who will miss him.

He also had one son, W.M. Adcock, deceased, and a brother and sister, both deceased.

[The Oak Ridger]From May McGlothin, dateunknown: I was born December 27, 1907, in Huntsville, Tennessee. MyMother, Ida Potter Sexton, was born December 25, 1886, in Helenwood,Tenn. Mother had 3 sisters and 1 brother. Hattie Potter SextonChambers, probably born in 1884, Nevada Potter Robbins Harrison,probably born in 1888, Benjamin Harrison Potter, probaby born 1890,Laura Potter Millard Fine, probably born in 1896. She told me oncehow old she was when I was born. Seems like she said she was nine.
Aunt Hattie married simeon (sim) sexton, a cousin of Dad's. They had5 children. The eldest was born dead. The other children are Floyd,never married, Flora, married but no children, Mattie, married and has1 daughter, Betty., Sim married anand had 2 children. Sim is dead. Simwas killed accidentally when little sim was 9 months old. uncle Simand dad closed grandpa Potter's store one night and went by the oldLodge Hall, which was still standing when I went to Huntsville to staywith Harriet Chldress arfter aunt Laura and husband Rial Millard and 3children, Cark, Louise, and Lucille, moved out and went to Dorton,near Crosville. Two more chilodren were born, Ruth and Kathleen.Lucille died when she was about 8 years old. She had a tumor. Herstomach was hard as a rock and she looked like she was pregnant. Theywere living in Cincinnati at that time.
The old lodge hall stood behind the old presbyterian church. At thattime, there was a Mossy School for Girls where the new presbyterianchurch now stands. Dad and Uncle Sims went to a pie supper. Whilethey were there a fight began and Dad anand Uncle Sim ran. In the dark,they got separated. Dad ran down the street towards the jail. Unclesim ran down the Bidenald in front of Mossip School. The next morningAunt Hattie sent Floyd out to the house to ask if Uncle Sim spent thenightt. Dad dressed quickly and started towards the lodge hall. Hefound Uncle Sim lying on his face on the sidewalk near the front gateof teh Mossip School grounds. A bullet had hit him in his back, wentthrough his heart, lodged in the day book in which he recorded theday's sales at the store. The book which had hard backs, was in hisinside coat pocket. The bullet had pierced one back the pages andlodged against the other back. A man left Huntsville that night, wasgone about 40 yearsrs, and came back. He asked about some Phillipsboys, Caldwell and Harrison. There may have been others, but they areall I remember. One man, Caldwell, I think it was, bought a pie whichbelonged to his girl. They fought and the shooting began. ThePhillips boys were tall like Dad and uncle Sim. Later, he asked ifanyone remembreed the Pie Supper and the fight. He was told yes, anda man, Sim Sexton, was killed by a stray bullet. He had left thinkinghe killed the Phillips so Dad said.

Aunt Hattie later married L.A. Chambers from Buffalo. They had 3children.

I was 4 years old in December. We moved to Buffalo in April 1912.Grace was 2 years, Hazel 4 months. I can remember 2 rooms inHuntsville before we moved. The house was built for Dad and Mother.They sold it when we moved to the farm. The house had 5 rooms and apantry. The 2 rooms I can remember were teh dining room, which weused for a sitting room. I remember mother sitting in a rocking chairrocking Hazel in Room 3. The back of the chair was next to the doorthat went into the hall. The grate with a fire in ith was to the leftof the chair. I stood between the chair and the wall. I think I mayhave stood on the rocker as mother rockerd.
Motyher told me Aunt Hattie's last husband, LA Chambers, came out oneday and had a new pistol. He handed it to her. She was sitting inthe rocker holding Hazel. I was standing between her and the wall.The pistol went off in her hands and only missed me by inches. Shewas always afraid to handle a gun.
The other room I remember was across the hall. It was our bedroom(#4). It had 2 double wide beds. Her Singer sewing machine set infront of the south window at the foot of 1 of the beds. I remember thesun coming in that window. One day mother had been sewing and leftthe machine open. I climbed up in the chair and ran the needlethrough the skin on a finger of my left hand. I screamed for mother.She backed the needle out of my finger. The other time I remember theroom, Hazel had buburped on the bed. I called Mother, She came andcleaned up the bed. The spread was dark and the burp was white. Iremember the back porch off the kitchen. Mother had a long, deep boxpainted green. She kept a quilt in it. Grace stood up in it andwalked around in it. It had to be late in the summer before coldweather. Probably before Hazel was born in December. The porch facedgrandpa Potter's house.

In later years, while I was in the 8th grade, Mary Helen (Doisy)Walker came by one afternoon to get me to go with her out to ourhouse, which was the presbyterian parsonage now. Her pastor, Rev.Dotty, and wife, were gone for a week and had left some spare ribs forthem. She didn't want to go in th ehouse by herself. We went in thekitchen door, past the window on the left, the stove on the right intothe pantry after the ribs. Many years later, Grace and I went to thehouse to visit Mrs. Rachel Sexton with whom I barded the second year Itaught at Paint Rock. She was staying with her daughter Eelie, whosehusband was Mortague Dobbs. Her room was on the front of the house#1, which was in front of Mother's dining room. Mrs. Sexton had afire in the grate. The room as very comfortable. That left 1 room inthat house I can't remember being in.

I remember the day in April that we went to Buffalo. Men wereflooring the bridge. They had to finish it before our furniturecame. We had to drive through the creek. It was up. I had to holdmy feet up to keep them from getting wet. The watater was in the buggybed. Our buggy had 2 seats. I was on the back seat. When we got tothe house, Mr. and Mrs. Alex (Sarah) Norman were living in it. Later,they moved out to the little house down in the field. Mrs. Norman wassitting in fronnt of a box stove in the kitchen. She had a dip ofsnuff in her mouth once in a while she would open the door, where sheput in wood, and spit in the ashes. I was fascinated and waited andwatched for her to spit again. I do not remember where we slept orwhen they moved or when our furniture came.

We moved for light housekeeping only, to Huntsville, for abuot 3-4months when Willard was born. He was born Sept 7, 1914. I went toschool at Huntsville in the first grade. iss Emma Williams was myteacher. I remember she kept me in during one recess because Icouldn't read the page in my reader. There was a pitcture and only 4lines. They were:
"Hark! Hark! the dogs do bark.
The beggars are coming to town.
Somein rags, some in tags
And some in tattered gowns."
I remember the day they came after me at school to go back to Buffalo.It was Friday afternoon. We were having a little program. I washelping with the pantomining "Little Boy Blue". We turned a chairdown, put some staw on it. He crawled undeer and pretended he wasasleep. We recited the rhyme. Miss Emma was related to ElizaWilliams and Jonn Tanner's mother, Mazude Williams Tanner in Wartburg.When we went back to the farm, Dad had gathered a small trunk we hadfull of Chestnuts. The leaves were off the trees. Two things Iremember while we lived at Huntsville, Uncle Ben was drunk. Someonetold mother he was going downtown to kill grandpa Potter. Grandpa'slaw office was on the side of his store building. Mother crossed theroad in front of our house to try ot stop Uncle Ben. He pushed her.She rolled won the bank into a ditch. We were crying. She had beenpraying and crying. It was before Willard was born. Laura Sexton,Uncle Ben's girl friend, was staying with us. One night he broughther some small candy hearts. They were the first I remember seeing.He would read the words on mine for me.

Laura had 2 children by Uncle Ben. Little May was the older. Laruaand the baby, Theodore, died during the flu of 1917 or 1918. LittleMay stayed with different families. But Uncle Ben would get behindwith her board bill. So she finally camame to Grandpa's when she was 4or 5 yeasr old. I was already staying with Harriet. Grandpa wasoperatiring a sawmill at Winfield. He was only home on Saturdaynight. When Little May came, she walked through the house tochingfurniture etc. Then she asked "will heaven look like this?" Thefirst thing I remember.... [stops here]
Aunt Hattie and LA Chambers had Glenice, William Henry (Judge) andRuth. They thought LA had tuberculosis. He sat and held Ruth a lot.She died about 5 or 6 years old. They are both buried in Salvisa, KY,near Danville. Aunt Hattie moved to Dnaville and the 6 children livedthere until she moved to Cincinnati. She is buried in Cincinnati. Sois Sim and Judge (1990--Flora and Floyd)
LA was Little Marion or Preacher Marion and Rachel Chambers son fromBuffalo. The Sugar Grove community. Hhis borhters were Jerry, Mose,a preacher, DT (Devine Truth), Doctor in Norma; Strelilng; McKinley,and a sister Narrie Yaden.

Ida Potter Sexton, the second child of William Henry (Judge) Potterand .. (He served Scott County 2 8-year terms as County Judge)Charnettie Chambers Potter, was born in Helenwood Dec 25, 1886. Shetaught 3 or 6 terms (5 months each) before she and dad were marriedFebruary 11, 1907. They were married in Harriet's bedroom. Dad's andMother's bedroom later. The door was a sheet. I don't know how longthey were married before Grandpa found out. Dad bought 2 licenses.The first in Campmpbell County. Mother wouldn't go with him to CampbellCounty. It wasn't legal in Scott County. He bought another. Aftergrandpa found out their bedroom was upstairs over Dad and Mother'sdining room in later years, . One night Dad blew out the kersoenelight. It caught fire. He had gone to bed. He got up, grabbed aquilt off the bed and smothered it out. The scorched wall was stillthere when stayed with Harriet and when Ruth bought the place in the1970s.

I went to Grandpa's to stay with Harriet in Dec 1917. I was in the6th grade. Miss Stacey A. Tedford was my teacher. I think she mayhave been from Maryville. Carl Byrd was the only one in my 6th gradeclass that went on with me to graduate ie in 1924.. Mary Helen Doisywent to the Mossip School through the 7th grade. They closed theschool. I think the few girls left were moved to Harriman. MaryHelen was in my 8th grade class. She went to Maryville to High Schooland then collegege. The first think I remember about school dyas atBuffalo was when i was in 3rd grade. I took Hazel to school with me.At morning recess, I had to take her home. Another time I rememberthe teacher had to be out of the classroom for awhile. He left agirl, Nannie Chambers, to take names. She pulled me out of my seatthen put my name down because I was out of my seat. I had to stand onone foot 30 minutes in the corner for it. I may have been a 4th or5th grader.

I can't remember much about life on the farm before I went toHuntsville. I remember Grace and I gathering duck eggs along the ditchnear the road through the field to the little house. They were blueshells. Once I remember mother taking us to tthe barn and we hidupstairs behind hay. A man, Mr Abner, was drunk. Mother was scared.I remember peeing through a crack. Mrs. Abner had tried to get to thebarn. She got inside the barn gate. He caught up with her. Iremember seeing him knocock her down several times and kick her severaltimes. She was in bed several weeks. I think I remember mothersaying she had several broken ribs and maybe pneumonia. Thatexperience with a drunk man made me feel like I never wanted anythingto do with a man who drank.

Another time I remember gong to the wedding of Clergie Chambers andGirlie Owens at the home of Clegie's parents, Jackson and SallieJChambers. After the wedding they served dinner. She and I atedinner. I remember mother sending me across ththe creek to FlemChamber's house. His wife, Em, was very ill. I took her some soup.She was about 20 years older than Flem. Coming home, I saw a starfall in Jackson Chamber's field, to the left of the road. It wasn'tdark, but was getting late. I expected the sedge grass to burst intoflames. It didn't I wish I had known about meteorites. I wish I hadthat one. I remember Dad and Mother keeping boarders. They wereworking on the log woods above the house on Smith creek and towardsPioneer. We all slept in the back room downstairs. Mother and Dadand Mabe Willard slept in one double bed. Fannie Southerland, whostayed with us and probably Hazel, slept in the other double wide.Grace was probably sleeping in the baby bed. MMother had a twin bedpair of springs with a wooden frame. It had rollers on it. She wouldroll it under her bed during the day and roll it out at night. It wasmy bed. I wish i had my baby bed. Mother gave it away when Ruthoutgrew it. She had double beds and 1 twin bed or a cot in thebedroom next to the dining room and 2 double wide in 2 big bedroomsupstairs. I do nto know how many boarders there were. It was inFebruary maybe that mother and Fannie were chnging the beds upstairsand Grace and I picked up her flour sack or seed beans in a shelf, andtook out some matches she had in them to keep out bugs. The nightbefore grace and I climbed the ladder nailed to the side of the logcrib. We took Hazel up and couldn't get h her down. We were told in nouncertain terms not to do that again. Someone, maybe Dad, brought herdown. That morning while Fannie and mother were washing, we went backto the crib. Grace had the matches. The crib had a shuck pen.Somehow Grace struck a match, before it burned her fingers, she thewit down. She was sitting on top log of shuck pen. (The crib was fullof corn.) The match went in the shucks. They were ignited. Mothersaw the smoke and started screaming. The men on thhe mountain saw thesmoke and came runing. They were able to save the barn but not thecrib. If we had taken Hazel up with us, she wuld have burned up. Dadwas working on a road somewhere and came home on weekends. We thoughthe would spank Grace. Instead, he brought her some candy. I remembercrawling under the bed and giving her a stick. She had refused tocome out.

I remember Hazel and I had chicken pox. No one else had them. I onlyhad 3 or 4 blisters. One over my right eye was bad. and left a badscar. Mart Chambers used to tell me I'd been shot, that was thebullet hole.
I rember popping popcorn over the wood fire in the fireplace. I heldup the popper to shake it. Half of the popper had small holes in it.The unpopped grains would fall out. One fell out and landed inside mycollar. I had a good sized blister oon my collar bone. I remember wehad the measles in the summer. My nose bled a lot. Mother had me inthe baby bed and kept a cold cloth on my head. I remember when Ruthwas 2 or 3 months old, we all, including Fannie, had the whoopingcough, toooo. We nearly lost Ruth. I remember how black her face gotand mother working with her. We moved to Huntsville maybe in August1914 in a little 4 roomed house. Willard was born Sept. 7 1914.While we lived there someone came and told Mother thaat Uncle Ben wasdrunk. He was on his way from Grandpa's house past our house toGrandpa's office to kill Grandpa. Mother saw him coming. He waswalking on the walkway outside Williams picket fence. The walkway washigher than the road. At least knee higher and maybe more. Iremember seeing mother cross the road and go up the bank and met himface to face. She was crying, praying, and begging. He pushed herout of the way. She rolled down the bank into the ditch at the sideof the raod. Uncle Ben was arrested and put in jail before he got tothe office. People who saw the incident came running to help Mother.I don't know how long it was after this when Willard was born. UncleBen's girl friend, Laura Sexton, was staying with us. One nght hebrought her some candy hearts. They were the first I had seen. Hewould read the words on mine for me.

A Note from May McGlothin. This was found among May's things. Sheoften wrote about genealogy. However, these were writtgen when shewas in her later years, about 90, and some of the references aren'tclear. Only those that are clear have been included here.

Etta and Will Jackson
Have W. Lee (Whitus) both deceased. 1 daughter, Melba, a retiredschool teacher, a collector of rocks. When Melba was born, the doctormade hosue calls. When Dr. Heaker was ready to leave, they told himnot to tell Mom and Dad. Well, Dr. Heaker came from Petros and passedtheir house. Both of them were sitting on the front orch. Dr.Heacker tooted the horn and yelled, "Helloooo Grandpa". Will and Ettalooked at each other and said, "What did he mean?" In a minute Ettasaid, "The baby's here. Let's go to Petros." When they arrived,Harve and Lee both said, "Dr Heacker told you." They said, "No, hedidn't." Many years later they told them and Melba what he said.They had a good laugh about it.

Howard and Frances Self:? When Howard and Frances got so theyweren't able to do much for themselves, they moved close to Katherinein Florida. I remember when Kenneth was born (3 weeks before Madgewas born in 1932), Frances was getting ready to come to Tennessee forthree weeks and then Howard had a week's vacation to come visit andtake them back home. I think they lived in Ohio. He was working onthe railroad. She was trying to show how to do a few things. Shetold him how to warm the skillet with some grease in it, then breakthe eggs, put them in the skillet, then salt them. Then she held herhand over the coal bucket and dusted the salt off.

Howard said, "Wait a mintue. I know how to salt the eggs, but I don'tknow how much salt to put in the coal bucket."

Frances came to see me when Madge was 1 week old. She told me aboutgetting ready to come. I liked HOward and Frances very much.

1528 Memories by Judy:

Granny and Grandpa Kesterson moved from Coalfield to a community near Harriman TN. The road they lived on was an inverted "U" and granny and grandpa lived at about 11o'clock on that "U". Aunt Martha and Uncle Hubert lived about 3:00 on the "U" and I used to go through the woods between the two houses when we would visit with Granny. I was probably not more than 5-6-7 years old. Aunt Dorotha and Uncle Harry Padgett lived in a small, silver mobile home in the woods. One day I was r running through the woods towards Granny's house when Uncle Harry stopped me. He stooped down to my level and told me he was leaving. I don't remember anything else he said or how long I stayed there, just that he stopped me and told me he was leaving. He may have told me I'd never see him again--I don't precisely remember any other details.

The only other memory I have of Harry is several years later when I was in my teens. Mother was going to Oak Ridge to shop and had several of us children with her. We were in Oliver Springs, getting near Oak Ridge, turning the curve just before the intersection of Highways 62 and 61. Mother told us not to look a certain direction, that she thought that Uncle Harry was on a motorcycle and he would want to come to our house if he recognized us. She was trying to avoid him.

I never heard anything else about Uncle Harry after that.

Judy Kesterson Solis 03-03-07

Mary Cox Kesterson told her granddaughter, Judy Kesterson Carter, that her mother died a few days after Dorothy was born and Mary didn't get to go to her funeral because of that. She also said they were planting sweet potato slips when Dorotha was born and that she would come to the house and run tepid water over her wrists to cool down her body before she breast-fed Dorothy.

Mary's mother was buried in the White Oak Cemetery in Campbell County. Her son, Jesse, and granddaughter, Judy, went to the cemetery and tried to find her grave. It was not marked and we did not find the grave.

Homicide at Petros

On Monday morning, September 20th, Dave Jones met Vard Stonecipher inthe public road near Stonecipher's home and after a few words hadpassed between them, Jones emptied the contents of a shotgun into theStonecipher, killing him instantly. Joneones was so near his victim whenhe fired that the gun set Stonecipher's clothes afire and when friendsarrived they had to use water to extinguish the fire. No reason isassigned except an old grudge of long standing which had existedbetween them. Jones was taken to Wartburg and turned over to SheriffScott. He seems to be brooding over his crime. Tuesday morning heasked the sheriff for a knife to trim his toenails, but instead ofusing it for that purpose, he slashed his legs intending to severe alarge artery and bleed to death before aid could reach him. He wastaken to Kingston for safekeeping.

Note: According to Raymond Jones, grandson of Dave Jones, VardStonecipher had been stealing Dave's whiskey. Another source says thegrudge was over a farm animal........C.D.S.

From Judy Gooch:

Chester,
You must forgive me for not getting to read through the Jones familyuntil now. It has been rather hectic here with Kimberlee's highschool graduation and all. Wanted to wait til I had some time toreally read through it. I am enjoying it very much and will give youcomments .
The civil war letters were really interesting.
I haven't really got to get through half of it but want to makecomments as I go along so I don't forget.
You have done a great job. I think being able to compile all theinformation that you have in this format is just wonderful.

Thought you might find this of interest on David Jones that marriedBuena Vista Stonecipher:

"State of Tennessee, Morgan County Circuit Court, October Term,1920"
The Grand Jurors for the State of Tennessee upon their oaths present:That Dave Jones on the 20th day of September 1920 in the State andCounty aforesaid, with guns and pistols did unlawfully, willfully,maliciously, felonously, deliberate, premeditately and with maliceaforesight did shoot, kill and murder one Vard Stonecipher, therebycommitting Murder in the First Degree, contrary to the State andagainst the peace and dignity of the State".
Emily Stonecipher, Perry Stonecipher, Ezra Goddard, John Justice,George Armes, Jack Nelson, Roy Olds, Mrs. Ezra Goddard, Miss KateGibson, Jim Cox, Sam Patterson, Sam Stonecipher, Sam Davis and WillWilkerson were summoned as witnesses for the state.
Dave Jones pleaded not guilty to murder and threw himself upon themercy of the Court. On October 21, 1920, the Court decided that theMorgan County Jail was unsafe and that the defendant must be sent tothe jail at Kingston in Roane County. Feelings were "running high".
In December 1920, Dave Jones was found not guilty for reasons ofself-defense.
Source: Mary Howe Underwood, The Stonecipher Tree, p72
In Mrs. Underwood's book she has an article about that morning andthat Vard Stonecipher was found by his wife, Emily Wilson, with apitchfork in the back. I'm not sure who she attributed the articleto. The story is well-known with the Stoneciphers and Jones'.

Is this rather sensitive material that you don't want to put in ?????

1569 MOSES SEXTON

Moses SEXTON, the son of Timothy and Esther (SISEL) SEXTON, Sr., was born on 18 Mar 1789 in York District, South Carolina, according to the Revolutionary War pension of his father. Moses died on 1 or 5 Jun 1850 in Scott County, Tennessee, accordrding to his War of 1812 Bounty Land Warrant. Moses served in the War of 1812 in Captain James TUNNELL'S Company. He married in 1814 in what is now Scott Co., TN, Leander HATFIELD (b. 1795-d. 1860's in Scott Co., TN). Moses and Leander SEXTON had twelve children. About 1848, Moses took up with a woman named Sarah PHILLIPS and had two children by her. Proof of Moses and Leander's children come from several different sources. Their twelve children were: John, James, Fountain, Rebecca, AaAaron, Julien, Shadrack Mashac, Caswell, N.R., Hiram and two daughters, whose names are not known. The two children that Moses had by Sarah PHILLIPS were Ransom (PHILLIPS) SEXTON and Pernetta SEXTON. Due to the nature of the sources that are used to prove the children of Moses and Leander, the children will not be discussed in order of birth.

On the 1850 Scott County, Tennessee, Census, Leander SEXTON, the widow of Moses SEXTON, was listed as the head of household along with three of her children. The ages listed as the head of the household along with three of her children. The ages listed on the census are incorrect. The three children that were living with Leander were Julien, N.R. and Hiram SEXTON. Julien SEXTON was born in 1828 and he married Easter PHILLIPS. N.R. SEXTON was born in 1837 and there is no further information about him. The youngest child was Hiram. He was born in 1838 and Emarine ALEXANDER.

Julien SEXTON is a key figure is proving the children of Moses and Leander. Another key figure is Ransom SEXTON (b. 1848) who was the son of Moses SEXTON and Sarah PHILLIPS. In the Civil War Pension of Ransom SEXTON (XC-2706838), Julien made a deposition, dated 23 Nov 1899, stating that "The soldier [Ransom SEXTON] is my half brother . . . My father took up with a woman named Sarah PHILLIPS and this Ransom was their child and my father died when Ransom was about a year old and I took the boy and raised him. Ransom's sister, was born a few months after my fathers death and was raised by her mother . . ." Moses SEXTON'S daughter by Sarah PHILLIPS was named Pernetta SEXTON.

In this same deposition, Julien stated that "I had a brother Shadrack that lived near Elk Valley, Campbell County, who is dead. I had a brother Hiram who lived near Monticello, Kentucky." Shadack SEXTON was born in 1830 and married Nancy THOMPSOON. Hiram was already been mentioned. Julien also stated in this deposition that "His mother [Ransom's] and sister are both dead. I got this information from my brother James, in the locality of Elk Valley . . ." James SEXTON was born in 1818 and married Sarah McPETERS.

Also in the pension file of Ransom SEXTON, Elizabeth MATHES SEXTON, the first wife of Ransom SEXTON, stated that the "Soldier [Ransom] had several brothers there; Julian, Fountain, Jim and John were all his brothers and they lived near us." John SEXTON, who was the oldest child of Moses and Leander SEXTON, was born in 1816. He married first to Rebecca BUTTRAM, and secondly to Jane (BUTTRAM) PARKER. Fountain SEXTON was born in 1822 and married Margaret SEXTON, the daughter of William and Rhoda (GRIFFITH) SEXTON. James (Jim) and Julian have already been discussed.

At this point, seven of the twelve children of Moses and Leander SEXTON have been proven. Also it has been proven that Moses had two children by Sarah PHILLIPS.

Proof of the eighth child of Moses and Leander SEXTON comes from the Civil War pension file of Jehu PHILLIPS (WC 451-104). In this file, Julien SEXTON made an affidavit stating that "I was acquainted with the soldier Jehue PHILLIPS ever since he was a young man. I was acquainted with his first wife Rebecca PHILLIPS all her life She was my Sister." Rebecca SEXTON was born in 1823 and married Jehue PHILLIPS. In 1860, Rebecca's mother, Leander SEXTON, was living with her on the census.

The ninth child of Moses and Leander SEXTON was Caswell SEXTON. In the Civil War pension file of Caswell SEXTON (WC 451-1040), Jehu PHILLIPS made an affidavit saying that "Caswell SEXTON . . . was my brother-in-law." Caswell SEXTON was born in 1835 and married Malinda HICKS.

So far, nine of the twelve children of Moses and Leander SEXTON have been proven. The tenth child was Aaron SEXTON. There is no direct proof that Aaron was the son of Moses. However, there is strong evidence that he was. On 7 Jan 1851, John SEXTON, the son of Moses and Leander SEXTON, surveyed 300 acres of land on New River (Scott County Surveyor's Book 1, page 60). The sworn chain carriers were Aaron and Julian SEXTON. Aaron and Hiram SEXTON married ALEXANDER sisters, and they both removed to Wayne County, Kentucky. Aaron SEXTON was born in 1826 and married 1st, Nancy ALEXANDER, and 2nd, Mary Jane YORK. Aaron and Nancy SEXTON named three of their sons, Julian, John, and Hiram.

The names of Moses and Leander SEXTON'S two other children are unknown. They were both daughters.

MOSES SEXTON

Moses SEXTON, the son of Timothy and Esther (SISEL) SEXTON, Sr., was born on 18 Mar 1789 in York District, S.C. He married in 1814 in what is now Scott Co., TN, Leander HATFIELD (b. ca 1795-d. 1860's in Scott Co., TN). He served in the War of 1812 in Captain James Tunnell's Company.

1570 Mother and three children die in horrific head-on collision with tractor after their SUV exploded into flames
Family were returning form a trip to see grandmother when they crashed

DAILYMAIL.COM (Source)
A mother and her three sons were killed in a horrific head-on collision with a tractor after their SUV careered into the other lane.

The deaths of Stephanie Brown, 31, eight-month-old Grayson Brown, Jackson Brown, seven, and Gage Brown, nine, have shocked and overwhelmed members of the close-knit extended family and their community, after they were killed on State Highway 61 in Roane County, Tennessee on Tuesday.

Stephanie Brown was said to be returning from a visit with her grandmother when her 2004 Ford Expedition crossed the centre line of the highway and struck the oncoming tractor-trailer.

Both vehicles burst into flames but driver of the tractor, Joe Sexton, 57, did not require medical treatment.

Mr Sexton reportedly tried to help the occupants of the SUV, but they were pinned by the vehicle's engine, which had been driven into the back seat by the impact.

The Rev John Edwards, pastor of New Fairview Baptist Church, is the uncle of Stephanie Brown and described the families as 'crushed and devastated' by the tragedy. Her husband Josh Brown is obviously still in shock.'

He said the couple grew up in Oliver Springs, were high school sweethearts while attending Oliver Springs High School and married 'right out of high school'.

Jackson Brown was a first-grader at Bowers Elementary School in Harriman, while his older brother, Gage, was in fourth grade.

Dr Toni McGriff, director of Roane County Schools, said on Wednesday additional counselling was and will be made available to staff and students for as long as is needed.

'It looked like they were killed instantly. It was a terrible accident'
Clarence Nelson, chief of the Blair Volunteer Fire Department, said: 'It looked like they were killed instantly. It was a terrible accident.

'Everything was burned. There was no paperwork, no VIN (vehicle identification number) available.'

Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt Bobby Clevenger says it's unknown why the SUV veered into the other lane but no charges will be filed.

Neighbours along Coalfield Road say the boys and their mother radiated love.

'You have to give that much love for a child to take in, and actually show it to other people,' said Chris Turpin. 'My prayers go out to the family.'

'I don't know. I couldn't even begin to imagine how that feels,' said neighbour Jordan Williams.

Just weeks ago, the Browns attended New Fairview for Vacation Bible School. rev Edwards says now he must lead his congregation and his family through a trying time.

'All of Fairview church and of course, all of Fairview community, have been so very supportive of family, in their grief, comforting and doing what they can for them,' he said.


Stephanie Nicole Brown, age 31, Gage Brown, age 9, Jackson Brown, age 7, and Grayson Brown, age 8 month, went home to be with the Lord, Tuesday, August 30, 2011, following an automobile accident.

1573 MOYTOY Born: before 1700. The Cherokee term for Moytoy was Amoadawehi(Amahetai) or Rain or Water Conjuror. He was from Great Hiwassee orLittle Hiwassee of the Valley. He later became the head warrior ofTellico of the Overhills. In 1730, he was appointed the Emperor(British medal chief) of the Cherokee Nation by British imperialists.He died in battle in 1741. This was the same year of Caulunna's death(see Family of Oconostota). Caulunna was a significant Cherokee leaderin the era of Moyoytoy, and was Oconostota's uncle, and Quatsis' brotherIt has been speculated by some that Caulunna and Moytoy were the sameperson- In fact, many secondary sources state that Oconostota andAttakullakulla were brothers. Attakullakulla's mother waas the sisterof Moytoy, and Old Hop was their brother, If Moytoy was Caulunna, hewould have been both Oconostota and Attakullakulla's older uncle. Hewould have been responsible for the upbringing of both throughmanhood, This may ex-plain why somme historians conclude thatOconostota and Attakullakulla were relatives. Yet, neither family evermentioned being kin to one another. Also, Old Hop stated thatAttakullakulla was his nephew. In the same statement, Old Hop mentionsOconostota without calling him his relative. There are no documentedrecords to prove that Caulunna and Moytoy were the same person Moytoywas a Cherokee man Tellico, Chief Moytoy Of (I781)

Mrs. Justice was 13 years of age when the war between the North and the South was declared, and many times during her life, while in a reminiscent mood, she would tell of the many struggles and trials that she had undergone during that war. In Feb. 1862, her father was shot and killed through a crack in the door during the early part of the night, after a hard days work clearing a new ground, while he had one of his younger children in his arms. At the report of the gun the father of Mrs. Justice dropped the child from his arms and fell with his hands in the fire. There being no one in the house at this time, except the father of Mrs. Justice, her mother, who was very ill and confined to her bed; the little child and Mrs. Justice, who was then only 13 years of age. After the fatal shot had been fired, Mrs. Justice locked her arms under the arms of her dead father, pulling him out of the fire and straightening out his lifeless body on the floor. At this time the mother of Mrs. Justice thought in all probability that their house was surrounded by enemies, so she ordered that the light be extinguished and the fire covered up until an investigation could be made and the neighbors notified. In this condition, Mrs. Justice with her sick mother in bed kept a vigilant watch through the night while her father lay a lifeless corps on the floor before them.

During the year 1862, while the war between the states was still raging, Mrs. Justice's older brother Wiley Brummitt, had enlisted in the Union Army nad was stationed at Fishing Creek, Ky., and while there got a permit or furlough to visit his wife, mother and sisters in Anderson County, Tenn. He came home and stayed a few days and while returning back to his regiment across the mountain and down New River, he was encountered by a bunch of guerillas, whose purpose was to loot, steal and kill and the ran Mr. Brummitt into the river and shot him in the face; then it was that Mrs. Justice, though a girl in her ealy teens, was again called to a trying ordeal. She walked from Anderson County by way of Blowing Springs, where Winrock mines are now situated, but arrived after her brother had been buried in the old White Grave Yard in the 10th district of Anderson County on New River. She met her duties boldly, and got her brother's haver sack, as she always called it, his shot pouch and army rifle, after which she wended her way back across the mountain to her old home near Marlow.

She had a brother names Gilbert Brummitt, who died at Somerset, Ky., while serving in the Union Army. She had another brother names Moses Brummitt, who also was a soldier in the Union Army, who was captured by the Confederate soldiers and imprisoned on Belle Isle, who died there during that great struggle. W.R. Brummitt who is now living at Oliver Springs, served in the Union Army, 3 years, 7 months and 17 days, and was honorable discharged. He is now in this 85th year. Mrs. Justice had a sister by the name of Martha Brummitt, who married one Daniel Jones of Morgan County; this sister died in Roane Ciounty many years ago. She had two younger brothers, namely, James and Rufus, who were not old enough to enlist in the army, both have been dead several years.
Mrs. Justice was a member of the Baptist Church for near 60 years; she was a strong believer in the Baptist faith, but first of all she believed in God. She loved her family and her friends and was ever ready to speak a good word to those in trouble. She was married to M.M. Justice, Nov. 26, 1871 by Squire Thos. Davis, who was one of the old pioneers of this county.

Mrs. Justice used to tell of the many hardships and privations that she and the other members of her family were subjected to during the Civil War, and on one occasion, she told of her mother owning a find young mare, and while the Confederate ssoldiers were passing through the country, she bridled and led this young mare away from the main road out into the forest and kept her there all night for fear she would be taken away from them. She said that this young mare could hear the other horses passing the road and would attempt to squeal or nicker to them, as she called it, and at each time she would take her bonnet and wrap it around the mare's mouth and nostrils to keep the soldiers who were passing the road from hearing the squeal of the animal.
Mrs Justice had many friends and no enemies in so far as we know, and will be long remembered and never forgotten.

Telethis Carolina Brummitt Justice [alternately spelled Talethia, Caroline, Brummett, and Jestus or Justus] died December 4, 1928 in Morgan County, Tennessee. Some family history says she died in Morgan, Alabama. However, her death certificate was issued in Morgan County and Dr. Herman Heacker attended her from November 10, 1928 until her death on December 4. Dr. Heacker lists Coalfield as the town/community and states that she died from colon cancer.

Her death was reported by her husband, Marion Justice [again, mispelled on the death certificate].

The death certificate lists her parents as James A. Brummitt and Seralda Brown. Both of her parents and Caroline herself were born in Tennessee.

She is buried in the Estes Cemetery in Coalfield. Find-A-Grave Link:

Per the 1880 census, Allen and Elizabeth Delk were servants for William Henry and Charnottie Chambers Potters' household.


During the civil war, William Henry Potter was too young to fight as a soldier, but he was not too young to go to the Saltpeter mines, according to May McGlothin. These mines were possibly in Fentress County.

Per Wikipedia:
Fentress County was formed in 1823 from portions of Morgan, Overton and White counties. The county was named in honor of James Fentress[4] (1763?1843), who served as speaker of the state house, chairman of Montgomery County Court, and commissioner to select seats for Haywood, Carroll, Gibson and Weakley counties in West Tennessee.[1]

Fentress County was the site of several saltpeter mines. Saltpeter is the main ingredient of gunpowder and was obtained by leaching the earth from several local caves. The largest mine was in York Cave, which is located near the Wolf River Post Office. At one time, twenty-five large leaching vats were in operation in this cave. According to Barr (1961) this cave was mined during the Civil War. Buffalo Cave near Jamestown was also a major mine with twelve leaching vats. Manson Saltpeter Cave in Big Indian Creek Valley was a smaller operation with four leaching vats. It is possible that any or all of these caves were mined during the War of 1812, when saltpeter mining was widespread in both Kentucky and Tennessee.[5]



I did not know William Henry Potter as he was my great-great grandfather and died long before I was born. But I remember hearing about him from my grandmother, May Sexton McGlothin, his granddaughter. Potter was a judge, served a term in the Tennessee legislature, was a large land owner, and was short of stature. He sued his brother. He couldn't fight in the civil war so he helped the men and boys at home mine saltpeter, location unknown at this time.

As a child, I heard stories about grandpa Potter that made him a little different. I have a scrapbook that belonged to his daughter Ida Potter Sexton, that gave hints and details of his life--but not many. Mostly, I know about his life through research.

He was short and maybe had little man complex.

As a judge, he knew when people were losing their properties and bought them, according to my grandmother.

He sued his own brother, making both of them the laughing stock of Scott Co. at the time.

Hey there,
I'm too easy to get confused anymore.....lol
It seems you have more info on the people than I. I
can only help with a couple. I would like to know
where and how you came up with this list. That will
help me when I start digging.
I only have a marriage date for Cleveland Watson and
Nancy Troxell---8 Sep 1881 in Scott Co., Tn.
I don't show a Luverna Belle Troxell but do a Belle
Troxell but not who she married.
Also, I have that James S. Watson married a Mary Jane
(not Rebecca Jane) Winchester on 10 Aug 1843 in Wayne
Co. She was born abt 1826 in Wayne Co and died 6 Feb
1858 in Wayne Co.
I hope you can add more info and soon as my eyes can
focus I'll start looking around. I have to have
cataracks(?) removed later this month. Everything is
fuzzy right now.
Take care, girl.

Joe,

Love your Home Page. C. Newport, one of the first justices in Claiborne County, was Cavanaugh Newport. I have checked the court records. At first he was referred to as Cavender Newport, and later as Cavanaugh (a family name). He was the son of R Rev. Richard Newport, who constituted the Davis Creek Baptist Church (which will be 200 years old on Oct. 1, 1997). I have other information on his role in Claiborne County, if you're interested. I am also a Phillips/Sexton descendant and a Goaad descendant through Anna Goad Newport. You have done some marvelous work here. Could Tommie Phillips be Thomas Phillips, married to Mary Goad? I am descended from Emanuel Phillips who was married to Leanner Sexton. Emanuel donated (or sold) the land where the present county seat of Huntsville stands. Would love to hear from you. Edna Sachs (also a Newport descendant) connected me to your site.

Dear Joe,
Thank you for the information. I will get some Newport information together to send you--perhaps I could send you what I submitted to the First Families Project of Tennessee. I am very much interested in adding Richard Newport to Tennessee histoory in whatever way I can, because he has been neglected in most accounts. I found in late December that he was in Tennessee in 1796, representing the Powell's Valley Church (at Gap Creek in Claiborne County) at the Holston Association Meeting in August of that year. He and John Frost constituted the Davis Creek Baptist Church on October 1, 1797, and his wife, Sarah, as well as his son, John and John's wife, Pharaba, were charter members. Richard Newport and William Jones installed Jesse Dodson as the minister of the Big Springs Baptist Church in 1802 in Claiborne County. This church is still standing today.
Richard Newport's son, Ezekiel Newport, is my G-G-G Grandfather and the patriarch of the Morgan/Scott County Newport clan. He married Rebecca Cecil (Sysell) in Wayne County, KY in 1805 and then came to what is now Scott County. Rebecca and her brother, Samuel, were the first of the Cecil clan to come to Scott County.
I was in correspondence for quite awhile with Ephraim Phillips, son of Mount and Oma Phillips, before he died in an auto accident. My Great Grandmother was Emeline Phillips, daughter of Emanuel and Leanner (some say Arlena) Phillips. Emeline was orphaned at a young age, and later married John Foster. My parents are Earl Foster and Wilma Newport
As I understand it, Anna Goad was the daughter of Joshua Goad. She married Richard Newport, the son of Ezekiel and Rebecca Newport. I would certainly appreciate any information on the Phillips, Sexton, or other families.
Richard Newport was married secondly to Hannah Hinds in Knox County in 1800. Cavanaugh Newport married Hannah's sister, Lucy Hinds (Louisiana aka Susannah) in 1801 in Knox County. Edna Clack Sachs lives in Rhea County, and is a descendant of Richard and Hannah Newport through their son, Asa Newport. She and I are working on a book about Rev. Newport. However, we don't know where he is buried. We have an exact date of death for him, but no one seems to know where he is buried. Any ideas? Also, I don't know where Ezekiel and Rebecca Newport are buried--I would guess in the Brimstone area of Scott or Morgan County.
I hope this helps to guide you in what to send me. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Are you related to Sen. Baker through the Phillips family? If I find anything on the Atkins family, I will let you know. Have you read the book Scott County and Some of Its Families ? It has a lot of information in it.
I noticed you mentioned the Cumberland Chronicle. Do you have access to those? I am in search of any old photos of the Newport family. Right now, I would especially like to find any Civil War era or late-1800's photos, particularly one of Jamemes J. Newport. He served in the Tennessee House from 1893-95, representing Scott, Morgan and Anderson Counties. They are missing the composite photo of the 48th General Assembly at the State Capitol in Nashville. I thought there might be a photo of him in the Cumberland Chronicle. He was probably elected in 1892. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to working with you. This is a great medium for genealogists--if you can get online.

Note:

Notes from Scott Zollars, Timothy and Esther's gggg grandson:

Timothy was a Revolutionary War veteran that served with Washington at Valley Forge. He enlisted at Morristown, NJ, also known as the 3rd Battalion 5th Company under Capt. Henry Peter Dickerson for 3 years in 1777. Timothy was discharged i

His wife was Esther Sisel. Her name has also been spelled Cecil and Sessel. John Gee, a relative of Esther, was a witness at their wedding in the vicinity of the William Hills Iron Foundry or the Furnace on Allison Creek, SC. He is believo
e gone west in 1838.
The Sexton family moved to TN about 1808. Land being surveyed on the west side of New River on May 18, 1808 is the first record of Timothy in TN. In the 1790 census he is listed with his wife, Esther, and two children (Timothy and Williar the age of 16 in the Camden District of York Co., SC. Timothy was blind in his final years.
Esther petitioned in 1838 for the remainder of her husband's pension in Morgan Co., Tn. She was 83.

Notes from Robert Bailey's book:

He enlisted in the army during the Revolutionary War in Morristown, New Jersey in 1777. In 1781, he was discharged at Baltimore, Maryland. He fought in battles at Brunswick Amboy Wertfield, Staten Island and Long Island, New York. He marrig 1782 in York District, South Carolina, Esther SISEL (b. ca 1755-d. 23 Jan 1850 in Scott County, TN). After his marriage to Esther, he fought against the Catawba Indians and Tories. Timothy and Esther SEXTON were living in York District, Soouth Carolina, in 1790 as they are listed on the 1790 Census. By 1800, they had left South Carolina and moved to Georgia, living in Wilkes County and Elbert County, Georgia. They then removed to Knox County, Tennessee. One of the first records of their appearance in Tennessee occurs in 1808. On 18 May 1808, Timothy SEXTON, Sr., surveyed land on the west side of New River opposite to the mouth of Buffalo in Campbell County, Tennessee. He also surveyed 108 acres of land on New River which included "the improvement on which he now lives" on 10 Dec 1809. Timothy and Esther continued to live in Campbell County, Tennessee until about 1819 when he removed to Brimstone Creek in Morgan County, Tennessee (now a part of Scott County, Tennessee). Timothy, Sr., died on 18 Jun 1832 in Morgan (now Scott) County, Tennessee and is probably buried in the Rob Sexton Cemetery near Round Mountain on Brimstone. Both Timothy and Esther received a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War.

Also in reviewing these many pension abstracts I found a number of other Sextons which I will forward in another mailing however one that I found interesting was as follows

I found this interesting as I know that is also the Co that Moses served in but had not been aware of William's War of 1812 service.

Surnames: Sexton
I have found out that Timothy's parents John Sexton (1734-1799) and Elizabeth Shannon (1740-1799) came from Ireland to one of the New England states in 1748 , and that two of Timothy's sons had moved to Arkansas while the rest of his family stayed in Scott County TN . I am descended from Timothy Sexton Jr. through his son Robert and Moses Sexton through his son Julien .

1680 Notes of Cora Mae Martin Shirley "The Roots of Yesterday" state thatDoublehead died Aug 9, 1807 at Hiwasse Station, Indian Nation, Whichlater became the state of Tennessee.

Original Wayne Co. included "Prices Station" in "Prices Meadow" nearTouristville, KY.-crossing on Cumberland river-Domain of CherokeeIndian Chief, CHUQALATAGUE, (Doublehead)

"Ancestors of Nancy Faye Gregory" quotes follows:

"Now, as for Chief Doublehead, I originally quoted the following fromthe "Jonathan Blevins" book which is partially inaccurate (concerninghis death).

Chief Chugqualatague, or Doublehead, was the last Cherokee Chief toexercise control over the upper Cumberland plateau and was alieutenant of Dragging Canoe. He was born near the present town ofSomerset, KY, and had two known children by his wife who was reportedto be of French-Indian extraction. These children were Cornblossomand Tuckaho.

I have found several good books on Cherokee history, some of whichgive a good account of the circumstances of Doublehead's death. Theyare "Cherokee Tragedy: The Ridge Family and the Decimation of aPeople", by Thurman Wilkins, 1986, Univ. of Oklahoma Press, "TheCherokees", by Grace Steele Woodward, 1963, Univ. of Oklahoma Press,and "Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Indian Nation",by John Ehle, 1988, Anchor Books (Doubleday). The first books givesthe most detailed account and quotes two primary sources in itsbibliography as follows:

1) The Deposition of Caleb Starr concerning the death of Doublehead,dated Aug. 11, 1838, in the National Archives, RG75, Office of IndianAffairs, Removal Records (Cherokee), First Board of CherokeeCommissioners files, Heirs of Doublehead for spoilations."

2) "Col. Phillips' testimony relating to the death ofDoublehead...Highwasee, Aug. 15, 1807", in National Archives, RG75,Records of the Cherokee Agency in Tennessee, M-208, Roll 3.....I willtry to summarize as best I can.

Chief Doublehead was a brother of Chief Old Tassel, as well as PumpkinBoy. After the signing of the Treaty of Hopewell in 1785, delegatesfrom Congress were trying to keep the peace between the Cherokees andsquatters on their lands. In June 178788, Old Tassel was killed by arenegade settler by the name of Kirk while under a flag of truce andwar became unavoidable. Old Tassel's death united the Cherokees underLittle Turkey, including the Chickamaugas under Dragging Canoe, whosplit from the other Cherokee tribes some time earlier. In May 1792,John Watts succeeded Dragging Canoe as War Chief with Doublehead ashis second in command. In Sep 1893, Watts and Doublehead led acampaign against the white settlers.

A great atrocity was perpetrated on this campaign. Doublehead, hisbrother Pumpkin Boy, and their nephew Bench (Bob Benge) ambushed Capt.Overall, a known Indian fighter, and a companion named Burnett nearDripping Spring in KY. After they killed and scalped the two men, theIndians drank their whiskey, cut strips off the dead men, then roastedand devoured their flesh. At some time, Pumpkin Boy was killed onthis campaign. John Sevier launched a campaign against the Cherokeetowns and after a battle at Etowah, forced the Cherokees to sue forpeace. Although another Treaty was signed in 1794, Brigadier GeneralJames Robertson had to tell Major James Ore to lead another campaignagainst the Chickamaugas before peace was restored.

In 1796, Chief Doublehead had become the Speaker for the CherokeeNation and became the chief spokesman for all negotiations with theFederal government. There were 3 cessions made of Cherokee lands in1798 and it was common knowledge that Doublehehead had prospered as aresult. By 1804, he had become a prosperous land owner with about twodozen slaves. The Secretary of War, Dearborn, in fact, had giveninstructions that all agents were to deal specifically with Doubleheadon the assumptioion he could be bribed. In 1805, Dearborn had Col.Return Jonathan Meigs acquire several valuable tracts of land with thepromise that two tracts at the mouth of the Clinch and Hiwasee Riversbe exclusively for Doublehead's use. To add fuel to the fire,Doublehead had also leased several tracts at Muscle Choals to whitefarmers from a treaty he signed in Dec. 1806.

By this time, a Cherokee faction led by James Vann, Major Ridge, andAlexander Saunders decided Doublehead should die for his crimes. Vannhad a family score to settle. Doublehead had married a sister toVann's wife and had treated her brutally, beating her to death whileshe was pregnan
Therefore, the three men decided to execute the traitor in Aug. 1807,when the Cherokees collected the annual annuity from the Federalagent. However, on the way, Vann fell ill and could not continue.
On Aug. 9, 1807, Ridge and Saunders arrived at McIntosh's Tavern onthe Hiwassee and waited for an opportunity. Doublehead had beenplaying ball 3 miles away where he had killed a man calledBone-Polisher who had become abusive. Therefore, he didn't arriveuntil after dark, half drunk. Suddenly, Ridge blew out the candle inthe Tavern and fired a shot at Doublehead which shattered his jaw.Having thought they killed him, they slipped out into the dark.

However, they soon learned the tavernkeeper had moved the woundedChief to his house and then again to the loft of a Mr. Black, whotaught in Gideon Blackburn's school. By then, two men from BonePolisher's clan had joined them and together they rushed the roomwhere Doublehead lay. As they approached, the wounded chief sprangup, drew a dirk, and tried to draw a pistol but was caught up in thesheet around him. Both Ridge and Saunders leveled their guns at himbut misfired. Doublehead then grappled with Ridge but Saunders drovehis tomahawk into Doublehead's skull so hard that it took two handsand a foot to pry it loose. After the killing, most of the Cherokeesfelt it was justified and his relatives were not forced by clanresponsibility to exact revenge. This led to the abolition of clanrevenge at the Council of Broomstown on Sept. 11, 1808. However,James Vann was killed in 1809 possibly for his part in the execution."

SOLDIER'S CAMPFIRE MEETINGS ABOUT 1920
Mrs. Nora Courtney sent in this picture of an "Old Soldier's Camp FireMeeting" at Jonesville about 1920. She had received the picture fromMrs. Oscar (Rhoda) Tunnell whose father was Jim "Trigger" England isin the group picture. Unfortunately, only a few in the picture can beidentifie

Willie "Trut" Jones who has lived all is life next door to theJonesville Church said, "The Old Soldier's Camp Fire Meetings wereheld for many years at the Jonesville Church on the 4th Saturday inSeptember. The front entrance to the church was i in the opposite endfrom today's entrance. The L & N Railway passenger train would bringin as many as 150 old soldiers from Harriman and points west." Localveterans, and veterans from Oliver Springs, Robertsville, etc. helpedto swell the crowd. Around 1920, the group was composed of veteransof the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War I.

Cooked Bacon Over Camp Fire
WWI Veteran, Elmer Butler, remembers Andy Kimbrough, who was a blackman and a Spanish-American War veteran, would always have a big campfire going between two logs, and an ample supply of fat bacon. Eachold soldier would secure a piece of bacon on the sharp end of a caneor stick, and broil the bacon over the fire just like he did when inthe service. Some of the old soldiers fudged a bit and producedcheese, crackers, cookies, and assorted goodies from their pockets.

CLINT LILES (Civil War) is shown in the picture ready to strike up atune on his little drum. Julian Barger is poised with his drumstickto pick up the bass. Some say that Julian played louder and steppedhigher when marching if he had visited his well stocked wine cellarbefore he started the Camp Fire meeting.

Some Area Civil War Soldiers
Some area Civil War soldiers who wore the blue and gray were: DanielVann, Edmund Vann, Lupton Scarbrough, Abe Smith, John Duncan, R.C.McKamey, Henry "Pony" Cash, Maj. Edward Black, Bill Brummette, J.H.Taylor, Capt. E.A. Reed, Dr. Thomas A. West, Dr. Henry and Dr.Theodore Sienknecht, Capt. Jim Bunn, Capt. Thomas A. Butler, andothers in the Butler, Galbraith, and Griffith families. Capt. JohnHannah, Ethelbert Crozier, John G. Diggs, Sr., and Jr., James R. andJames B. Davis, Phillip Brashears, Abe Cox, B.L. Hendrickson, J.R.May, Jake May, Samuel Moore, Tobias Peters, Isaiah Phillips, IkePhillips, Elisha Rose, Goodman and John Webster, Fate Wright, FateButler, Carrick Edwards, John Massengill, Thomas Ollis, Charles Coker,Ambrosse Foster, Jonathon Coker, Samuel Borum, Richard Borum, Peter andChristian Ruffner, Tom Duncan, Joe Nichols, Peter Estes, Joe Hacker,Henry H. Wiley and five of his sons, John Russell's nine or ten sons,Tom, Jack, and John H. Wright, William Peak, Lewis Rector, Frederickand Thomas Seiber, and William Monroe Roberts and five of hisbrothers.

Striking Up the Band
For the most part, these Camp Fire Meetings provided great fellowshipand good will for the entire community. Lyd Coker was always presentto keep an eye on the "doings" and she was usually included in thegroup picture.

John E. Wright who knows about the "Wrights" said, "When fellowshipwas at its highest, Thomas C. Wright, or his brother, Captain Jack,would invariably insist that Julian Barger, CLINT LILES, and the restof the band strike up "Dixie," and thereby bring the otherwiseharmonious meeting to the verge of renewed hostilities."

Order would be quickly restored when Julian Barger would strike up amarch, and lead a march down towards Poplar Creek, and then circleback to the Church with every soldier in the parade trying his best tokeep in step............................

From "A History of the Coalfield Area" by W.B. Lyles:
"After the Civil War ended, as the soldiers came back home to settledown, there were two or three families by the name of Lyles thatsettled in the Coalfield area. One such soldier who married was CLINTLILES. He was a drummer boy during the war. All soldiers, whetherthey fought for the North or the South, received a pension. Some ofthem took a few years to get their checks started. My father told mewhen he was a boy he earned 35 cents a day to dig sweet potatoes.
Uncle Clint would sit sometimes and tell stories of what happenedduring the war. His pension was $12.00 a month. This was considereda large income during the Reconstruction Days after the war when wageswas 10 cents a day working on the railroad."

1754 Patricia Ann Jackson aka 'Pattycake', 'Miss Pat', passed away on Thursday morning, July 26, 2018 at the Morgan County Life Care Center in Wartburg.
She received her BS Degree in Education from the University of Tennessee while teaching, taking care of her home, her husband and raising her three daughters. All the while, keeping up with her church activities at Middle Creek Baptist Church where she was a devoted member.
Mom was a master storyteller and a poet as well as an artist. She taught several grades in elementary school during her tenure at Coalfield School. Her last seven years were spent as art teacher. Miss Pat was dearly loved by her students for her kind and caring heart. She had a strong desire to teach, but also to care and nurture the kids she was allowed to spend each day with. She was busy at the school, always decorating for school functions such as proms, banquets and other activities. On holidays and summer breaks, our house was the place to be! She would let kids hang out and play, not worrying about a messy house, just so everyone had fun! She would be right in the middle of it! Mom had a heart of love and was the most humble person you could ever meet.
Mom was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar and Ora (Brown) Jackson; brother, Joseph Kesterson; sister and brother-in-law, Iva Dean and Gene French; and father and mother-in-law, Welch and Irene Jackson.
She is survived by her three daughters, Vickie McPeters and husband, Rod of Nashville, Rhonda Jackson of Coalfield and Donna Bumbalough of Oliver Springs; grandchildren, Aaron Jones, Matt (Mitzi) Jones, Leslie (Darrell) Gignilliat, Whitney (Brian) Lewis, Lindsay Parks, Tallie Cullity and Chris (Sandra) Bumbalough, Lynora (Andrew) Tidwell and Lance (Jessica) McPeters; great-grandchildren, Brock and Maggie, Arthur and Kingston, Isai, Aylen and Gideon, Miles, Beckett and Noah; loving friends, Don and Madge Jackson, Joann Wormsley and many more wonderful friends, nieces, nephews, cousins.
Visitation for family and friends was held on Sunday afternoon, July 29, 2018 at Middle Creek Baptist Church, 6455 Knoxville Hwy. in Oliver Springs from 2-4 p.m. The funeral service began at 4 p.m. Interment followed in Davis Cemetery in Coalfield.
To leave a note or to share a memory with Miss Pat's family or to sign the guestbook, please go to jacksonfuneralservices.com.
Because of Miss Pat's heart for children, in lieu of flowers, please bring a backpack full of school supplies to be given to local needy children.

1755 Patricia Davis Barber Garvey had two wonderful daughters with Charles Evans Barber, Jamie Dee & Glinnis Gay Barber from Coalfield , Tennessee.

Not one day goes by that I don't think about my mom in some way. She was one of the funniest people I knew. She gave me some of the best stories I have (even after she died)! She also gave me this personality where I can connect with just about anyone (or anything, including wallpaper if necessary). I didn't always think I loved her but deep down, I now know I did. This year will be ten years since I've heard her say, "Jaaamiie Dee, this is your mama. Calllll me". I hope you read the hillbilly accent in that sentence. I miss her so much, but I see her in the mirror every day and in Glinis Lima when I walk into the office and she is sitting at Selig's front desk with a facial expression that looks just like Mom. We have a lot of her in us in very different ways but we both share her sass! I keep her alive with stories and laughter. She is why I love hard and live fully with this outgoing spirit. So, Mom, I love you and miss you. I hope we make you proud and that you find ways to laugh at us, even now! Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are mothers, aunts, sisters, and caregivers. Your love, patience, hugs, and smile impacts a child, regardless of whether your blood runs through them.
Written by Jamie her eldest.

1763 Peggy,

Having been instrumental in the saving and ongoing maintenance of a historic old cemetery in White Co., TN, I have learned a lot. First,there are no government monies for maintenance of private cemeteries in TN. There are laws that permit relatives and descendants to visit and maintain the cemeteries. There are also laws that empower local courts and law enforcement people to enforce the TN Cemetery and Burial Laws, but the results are quite inconsistent and usually reluctantly followed or flatly denied. Diplomacy, compromise, and sweat equity, however, have worked for us in White County rather thanlaw enforcement.

The cemetery in White County, TN is the burial site of William BUTRAM,II, who is the ancestor of all the BERTRAM descendants in Fentress Co., TN and surrounding area.

Per family information she was sometimes called Jennie. Per death and other records on Ancestry.com, she was sometimes called "Jannie".

In 1870, William and wife Rachael Reed Buttram lived in the household with a domestic servant, Jane Wallace, and Jane's 2 children, William (5) ane Mary (1). William and Rachael were both 66 years old, Next door was another Wallace family, a m man and wife both 19 years old, along with a 14 year old girl, clearly not their daughter. But her relation is not given. Could the male and young girl be the daughters of Jane Wallace? As was often the coustom, the child could have been sent to help her brother and wife around the time of the birth of a child.

William Buttram (II), is listed as having been born in North Carolina with everyone else born in Tennessee.

1791 Per Ada Anderson Carter, she fell in the fire place when she was a child and was badly burned. Her head was drawn to one side as she healed. She died as a young woman.

Were there two Parzadia Andersons in Scott County?

1. One Ancestry.com familytree source (undocumented) says that Parzadia and her baby died of the flu on the same date.
2. Parzadia married James Massengale in Scott County in 1916.
3. In 1919 James Massengale married Cordia Pierce in Morgan County. This would support Parzadia dying of influenza.
4. James Massengale was divorced per death records, which could further support his first wife's death and a second marriage that could have ended in divorce.
5. A Parzadia Anderson, age 49, married Sam Lawson, age 63, in Winona, Scott County, Tennessee, USA in March 1932. This Parzadia or Parazida, would have been born 2 years before the above Parzadia (1-4). She could be the daughter of a different Anderson than above or she could be a divorced woman (from James Massengale).
6. Items 1-4 seem most likely since Parzadia was not found in the 1920 or 1930 censuses.

1792 PER Alison_Beckner Family have passed down that John's birth year is 1873 But it is interesting to note that John's birth year is listed differently on all but 2 of the census records. For the 1880 census his birth year is listed as 1873, but for the 1900 census: it is 1875, the 1910 census: 1872, the 1920 census: about 1870, the 1930 census: about 1870 and the 1940 census: 1871.The birth year on his death record and his headstone say his birth year is 1969.
While the year is different on various records several state his birthday & month are the 4th of September. All the other info on a the census records match up , therefore I am confident that they are all the same person.

While I don't disagree with Ms. Beckner at all, I doubt the date of birth for John was 1869 as that would make his father only 14 years old when John was born and John was the second child. The dates between 1870 and 1873 would be more likely, especially 1873.

During the American Revolution, all six sons of Peter, Jr., served asofficers and with great courage. Four sons died during the Revolution andanother son died shortly thereafter. Peter, Jr. was almost seventyyaers old; he had lost four sons to his country and had endured theskirmishes with the Indians and the struggle for a free America.During the Revolution, Peter Jr. furnished supplies to Colonel Posey.

Son John wasleft the plantation, his negro Charley, all moveable estate and bedand furniture. John and Martha were co-executors of the willpresented in court, September 3, 1786.
Martha Wood Wallace died four years later in 1790. Daughters Susannahand Janet emigrated to Kentucky and son John went to Green brier Co.,Virginia, then to Anderson Co., Tennessee, and later to Hendrick Co.,Indiana.

Subject: Re: McGlothen Family

Judy, thanks for your nice "welcome". I would love to get togetherwith you and Lee and get to know you. And I would love to see yourpictures. I grew up knowing nothing about my dad's side of thefamily. My grandparents were divorced and my dad went to live withhis mother's (Willie Allen McGlothen) sister, Kate (Eliza KatherineMcGlothen) and her husband, Will (William Edward Alley). My dad'ssister, Nellie Bly McHaffie went to live with Willie's other sister,Mollie Elizabeth McGlothen and her husband, Jerome Butcher. They alldied fairly young, before I was old enough to be really interested ingenealogy, although I have always been interested, I just never didany researching because I didn't know where to begin. I am afraiaid Iwaited till there was nobody to ask about the family. I asked AuntNellie questions but not enough. We didn't make the long trip toKnoxville very often. I still have first cousins living there, butthey are older than I and some have passed away. And they don't seemto be interested in the family history. You are wise to get yourfamily to tell you all the old stories.

1849 Per his daughter, May McGlothin, John was left an orphan at age 5. (conversations with May McGlothin by Judy Kesterson Spradlin.)

Julian Sexton was an uncle or great uncle with whom dad (John Sexton)lived with after his grandmother, Mrs. Griffith, died. He was about 6 or 7 years old. He went to work for grandpa Potter (Judge William Henry]. He drove a wagon and team from a sawmill loaded with lumber. The lumber was loaded on Railroad Cars at Helenwood. With his first payday, he bought his first pair of shoes, overalls, etc. He said he had to go out on the porch and onto the ground and around the house to a ladder made of two poles nailed to the wall with strips of wood nailed to them, climb the ladder to the loft, which was not closed in, to go to bed. He said many mornings his bed was covered with snow. His sister, Etta(m. Carson) began hiring oout when she was 12 or 13 years old. He never heard from her or them [unknown who them refers to] until he came home from the Army. He joined the army about 1901 and was stationed in Monterey, Calif. His commanding officer sent him to the bank in a buggy with a horse to pick up the payroll each weekend. (In another conversation, I was told that by the time he got to California the war was over.)

He came home [from the army] in about 1903 (1913, 1923?). He worked at a sawmill in Gobey. He boarded with Aunt Etta and husband Ewell Carson. Then he worked for Zumsteins at a sawmill in Nemo.

Dad and mother were married February 11, 1907. They slept upstairs at Grandpa's (Judge William Henry Potter, Huntsville, TN) in the room over what was mother's dining room. One night Dad blew out the light, an oil lamp. He got in bed and immediately saw the fire was down in the oil and going up the wall. The blaze scorched the paint over the mantel. Mother said Dad grabbed the quilt off the bed, reached up over the mantel and smothered the blaze.

They moved into their home as soon as it was finished. I do not know if they were in it when I was born. I know we were there when Grace was born in 1909, and Hazel in 1911. We moved to Buffalo in April 1912.

Mother taught school 4 or 5 years before they were married. I've heard her talk about teaching at Wolf Creek, which is to the left of Glennmary or rather the Todd Farm coming South from Huntsville. I do not know if all her teaching experience was at Wolf Creek

To teach, they had to attend summer school at the Presbyterian Academy in Huntsville. It was still standing there when I began to stay with Grandpa Potter. It burned after Harvey and I were married. I remembered being in it once before I started to school. I said "Annie's and Willie's Prayer" at their Christmas Program. All I remember about their program was the pantomime-- all the girls dresses were white. They had tinsel around their heads. The flame they burned made each girl's dress a different color. I also said "Annie's and Willie's Prayer" at the Huntsville High School (2 yr.). It may have been at Christmas before I went to school there in the fall, which would have been Christmas 1913 (?). I went to first grarade in Huntsville the fall Willard was born, 1914. We lived in Huntsville 3 months. I remember going to Grandpa Potter's one Christmas, probably the first after we moved in April. They had the Christmas tree upstairs in the room over Mother''s living room. The tree went to the ceiling. It had real candles on it. They lit them after we went upstairs. As soon as the presents were given out, they blew the candles out. Mother had 3 children there, Aunt Hattie 5, Aunt Vadie probably 3, Aunt Laura and Uncle Ben none, neither were married. (NOTE: These would have been the children of William Henry Potter, which would make them Ida's siblings, not her children.)

114 SEXTON, John POTTER, Ida 9 Feb 1907 / noreturn

Per May McGlothin, daughter of John and Ida Potter Sexton:

Honey John Sexton: After his mother died, he stayed with his Grandma Griffith until she died and then he boarded out to an Uncle who lived at Paint Rock, over the hill from where Grandpa's barn was (Grandpa John Sexton, which is today the 4-Oaaks funeral home 2015). There were 1-2 rooms and he walked to the end of the porch and went around to the end of the house and climbed the planks or logs to the attic under the roof. He slept in the attic and often woke to the snow covering him in the winter. When he was 17, he came to Grandpa Potter's store and got his first job. It was with his first paycheck that he bought his first pair of shoes.

Honey John:
In the late 1970s, Judy Kesterson Smith Spradlin had the dishonor of riding to the airport with a member of Roane County's republican party to pickup Howard Baker. I don't remember who the person who was driving was, but Howard Baker sat in the front seat passenger side, and I sat in the back seat passenger side. One of Baker's aides sat in the backseat driver's side. Baker was rude, rude, rude. He was upset that I was there and said that he got car sick from turning around talking to me. He was a total ass hole.

But his aide, was Ron something--I can't remember his name--who was very personable. I told him my ancestors were from Scott County and he asked me who they were. I said John Sexton and he said which John. I told him where my grandfather lived and he listed the names of the John Sexton's and one of the choices was Honey John. As soon as I got home I called Grandma McGlothin and learned that my great grandfather was indeed Honey John Sexton. While Baker was a dud and a jerk, his assistant was a hero in my eyes because of his kindness. From that day forward I've made sure all our descendants knew the story of Honey John.

I really like reading stories from back then written by the people who lived it. Especially the ones that are related to me. I have never lived in Tennessee but grew up listening to my mother tell stories about growing up there. Now I wish I had paid closer attention. She would love to know a lot of the info I have found. She passed away 8 years ago. Thank you again. This helps a lot in solving the mystery. I did find out that John M Sexton was my Grandfather's 3rd cousin after I found out that his mother was Nancy Sexton. I had them in my files but didn't know he was the same John M Sexton who married Ida Potter who I also had in my files. I merged the 2 John Sextons .
I am so glad you knew to look for Nancy (his mother) I probably would have never connected the 2 if it weren't for you. Thank you again.

This is another mystery. Julian got custody of John after his aunt died. We need to find out who the aunt was. Julian isn't listed in my files as his mother's brother so I don't know what relation they were. I have several Julian Sextons in my files.
I am still trying to solve this.

According to Shelia Strunk John was the son of Nancy Sexton. Her parents were William Griffith and Sarah Sexton. I don't know yet why Nancy went by Sexton unless Sarah had her before she married William. I am still looking.

Okay. I found a note from Shelia Strunk saying that Sarah had 3 children before she married William Griffith. That would be why Nancy is a Sexton instead of a Griffith. So John was born out of wedlock. That would explain why someone else raised him other than his father probably. I also have a note saying John's father was a Lewallen, but he never acknowledged him.

May Sexton McGlothin, in an undated interview with Judy Spradlin, said her father, after his mother died, stayed with his grandmother Griffith until she died. He then boarded out to an uncle who lived on Paint Rock, just over the hill from wherere Grandpa's (John Sexton) barn was. The home had one or two rooms only, so John walked to the end of the porch and went around to the end of the house and climbed planks or logs to the roof (attic). He laid over & under feather beds under the roof. He said that in the winter it wasn't unusual for him to wake up covered in snow.

When he was 17, he went to work for William Henry Potter and with his first month's pay bought his first pair of shoes. He started to school that fall. Mrs. Mary Caldwell took a great interest in the 17-year-old man who couldn't read or write. He went three years, in the cold months of the year. He could "figure" without a pencil and paper the lumber needed to build something and tell you exactly how many board feet, 2 x 4's etc. needed

The SEXTON FAMILY of SCOTT COUNTY, TENNESSEE

Compiled by Robert L. Bailey Copyright 1992

The following is from my four volumes of The Sexton Family of Scott County, Tennessee, published and copyrighted in 1992. Although these books (and my other Scott County books) are published and sold by The Scott County Historical Society, I owown the copyright and reproduction rights to my books. This had led me to these web pages. As time permits, I will add more. If you wish to purchase these books, they are available from The Scott County Historical Society, P.O. Box 7, Huntsvillee, TN 37756. Volume I, contains my documentation of the early generations. Volume II traces the descendants of Timothy Sexton, Jr. (1783-1850's). Volume III traces the descendants of William SEXTON (1786-1854) and Volume IV traces the descendants of Moses Sexton (1789-1850).

Timothy SEXTON, Sr., was born about 1750, possibly in Connecticut. He enlisted in the army during the Revolutionary War in Morristown, New Jersey in 1777. In 1781, he was discharged at Baltimore, Maryland. He fought in battles at Brunswick Amboboy Wertfield, Staten Island and Long Island, New York. He married 18 Aug 1782 in York District, South Carolina, Esther SISEL (b. ca 1755-d. 23 Jan 1850 in Scott County, TN). After his marriage to Esther, he fought against the Catawba Indians annd Tories. Timothy and Esther SEXTON were living in York District, South Carolina, in 1790 as they are listed on the 1790 Census. By 1800, they had left South Carolina and moved to Georgia, living in Wilkes County and Elbert County, Georgia. They then removed to Knox County, Tennessee. One of the first records of their appearance in Tennessee occurs in 1808. On 18 May 1808, Timothy SEXTON, Sr., surveyed land on the west side of New River opposite to the mouth of Buffalo in Campbell County, Tennessee. He also surveyed 108 acres of land on New River which included "the improvement on which he now lives" on 10 Dec 1809. Timothy and Esther continued to live in Campbell County, Tennessee until about 1819 when he removed to Brimstone Creek in Morgan County, Tennessee (now a part of Scott County, Tennessee). Timothy, Sr., died on 18 Jun 1832 in Morgan (now Scott) County, Tennessee and is probably buried in the Rob Sexton Cemetery near Round Mountain on Brimstone. Both Timothy and Esther received a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War.

Timothy and Esther (SISEL) SEXTON, Sr. had five sons. Four of their sons, Timothy, Jr., William, Moses, and John, are mentioned in Timothy Sr.'s pension file. The fifth son, Aaron, is mentioned as being a son in the Morgan County Court Minutes. In the April 1850 term, Jesse TRIPLETT came into court and said that Esther SEXTON, the widow of Timothy SEXTON had died on 23 Jan 1850 and that she left five surviving children, Timothy, William, Moses, Aaron and John. [Morgan County, Tennessee County Court Minutes, April 1850 term, page 89).

The oldest son was Timothy SEXTON, Jr. He was born on 25 Dec 1783 in York District, South Carolina, according to the Revolutionary Pension file of Timothy SEXTON, Sr. Timothy Jr. married Nancy ELLIS. The second child was William SEXTON. He was born about 1786 in York District, South Carolina and he married Rhoda GRIFFITH. The third child of Timothy and Esther SEXTON, Sr. was Moses SEXTON. He was born on 18 Mar 1789 in York District, South Carolina, according to the Revolutionary War Pension file of Timothy, Sr. Moses SEXTON married LEANDER HATFIELD. The fourth child was Aaron SEXTON. Aaron was born about 1791. The youngest child of Timothy and Esther SEXTON, Sr., was John SEXTON. He was born about 1795.

Of these five children Timothy and Esther SEXTON, Sr., only Timothy, Jr., William and Moses stayed and raised families in Scott County. All of the SEXTONS in Scott County, Tennessee are descended from these three sons.

Sexton family deep-rooted in Paint Rock

[EDITOR?S NOTE The following article was published by Esther Sharp Sanderson on January 8, 1965 as part of her "Profiles In Courage" series of newspaper articles in the Scott County News. The entire collection of articles is now on sale in book form by the Scott County Historical Society].

January 8, 1965

More than a half century ago, there lived on Paint Rock a Christian gentleman, CASWELL SEXTON, his good wife, RACHEL, and a brood often healthy, happy youngsters. Mr. SEXTON was a coal miner by trade, but he owned a small farm on which he and his children worked to help supplement the low income that he received from his work in the dark confines of the narrow seams of coal beneath the surface of the hills up and down the creek.

Almost as soon as the boys learned gee from haw, they plowed the fields. Those too young to plow followed along behind the plow with their weeding hoes. There were occasional clod fights in the fields, and if the weather was unusually hot the booys would dive in the old swimming hole in their birthday suites to cool off. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" thought the SEXTON boys. They managed to sandwich in enough fun to remain alert. In the evening, when their father was seen emerging from the mouth of the mines overlooking the farm, the daily task was finished and the boys were free to take their guns and go into the woods to hunt. Some good fat rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, raccoons, opossums, quails and pheasants added variety to the meals which consisted principally of produce from the farm.

In spite of the low income from the farm and the mines, Mr. and Mrs. SEXTON managed to keep their family well fed and with sufficient clothing to be in school every day. They too occupied their places in church and Sunday School, come rain or shine, snow or sleet, the SEXTON parents and their big family were present at both services. Mr. CASWELL SEXTON was a pillar in the Paint Rock Baptist Church, serving as elder and Sunday School superintendent for many years.

A familiar scene marching down the aisles each Sunday morning was the sprightly, vivacious, well-groomed mother of ten. Like stair steps from the oldest to the youngest, LETCHER, LATONIA, MANFORD, ELIE, CALEB, MAXWELL, ALTON, OSWELL, EDRIE and M MALVIN took their seats in the classes and places in the choir. LATONIA served as organist for many years. All the children attended the Almy Elementary School, and all but LETCHER attended the Huntsville High School. The whole SEXTON family was interested in education, and they walked about ten miles a day to and from school, being financially unable to board. They were active in all extra curricular activities; school plays, debates and especially athletics in which they excelled. Better players never graced the basketball courts nor threw their weight about on the football fields than the children of the Sexton families. Competition was in their blood and it had to come out.

There was little money beyond actual necessities in the SEXTON home, but there was joy and a heap of living within the walls of that old frame building. In early life the children learned to give and take and to accept responsibility. How very r rich are those children who are so very richly blessed with these attributes. But their happy home life was shattered by the sudden death of their kind father in a mine explosion on Christmas Eve day. Little did MANFORD think as he held the heaad of his dying father in his lap that his education would be curtailed in order for the younger children to continue theirs. Upon his young shoulders and the brave and courageous mother fell the hard task of keeping the large family together and educating them. They were equal to the occasion.

The three younger children, EDRIE, MALVIN, and OSWELL, finished high school and went to work to put themselves through college, later received their M.A. degrees. In the meantime, MANFORD taught school and with the help of the younger children during vacation they continued to operate the farm. Six of the SEXTON children taught public school in Scott County; namely, LETCHER, MANFORD, MAXWELL, OSWELL, EDRIE and MALVIN. MALVIN served two terms as Scott County School Superintendent and Mrs. EDRIE HUFF served as Scott County Public School Supervisor. MAXWELL finished law school and is at present a practicing attorney in Oneida, Tennessee. MANFORD served several terms as Circuit Court Clerk. Five of the Sexton boys served in the various branches of the armed services of their country. Mrs. SEXTON passed away a few years ago. Two of her children, Caleb and Elie (Mrs. M. DOBBS) preceded her in death. Eight are still living.

In the early history of what is now Scott County, there were three items that were indispensable to the early settlers. One was THE BOOK, the BIBLE, another was the axe used in felling the trees and shaping the logs that went into their cabins in the clearing, the last but nowise the least important was the trusty rifle, Old Betsy. Upon their merits as marksmen, depended the wild game that helped to feed their pioneer families. The CECIL and SEXTON men were known the country round as expert shots. When they met at the shooting matches, it was a common occurrence for them to carry home the first choices of beef or the big fat turkeys.

According to statistics, young men in the armed services from East Tennessee were experts on the rifle range. In fact, they were considered the best. It was an inherent trait handed down from father to son to bark a squirrel from the highest tree or to shoot a fowl in flight. Servicemen like the late Sergeant ALVIN C. YORK and our own Scott County boy, ARCHIE ALTON SEXTON, developed most unusual skills roaming the mountains in search of necessary game. Times were hard and ammunition was not too plentiful. They developed through pride and necessity, a skill that was to bring them fame in the years ahead.

People are aware of the fame of Sergeant YORK, but we doubt if too many are aware of the outstanding achievements of ARCHIE ALTON SEXTON. He served in the Cavalry and in the regular army before accepting positions as Lieutenant in the Protection Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the branch office in Detroit. He lives in Chicago where he continues to work in the Protection Department of the Federal Reserve Bank. It has been during his duties in connection with the bank that he has amassed a most remarkable record with 110 medals to his honor.

According to the "Commentator," a monthly publication of the Chicago Reserve Bank, the Protection Department is going to run out of exhibit cases to display ARCHIE ALTON?s medals. That is, if he keeps up his present pace.

He recently won the department?s quarterly shoot which brings his total of medals up to 110. For thirty years he has been on the "No. 1 Team" for the department, and one-fifth of the medal honors given to the department are to his credit.

From 1934 to 1945, the Bank?s Protection Department won 90 percent of the competitive shooting matches in the state. "Then a score of 250 was tops," ARCHIE ALTON said, "now pistol matches are more competitive and the shooter must reach the 280 or 290 mark to be good."

He has only one higher level to shoot for, that of master. Once ALTON shot a score of 280 which puts him in the category of master. "But you have to do that three times in a row, and it isn?t so easy," he qualified.

ALTON says that shooting is hard on the nervous system because you cannot flinch, and you are always anticipating that "boom." ALTON says that he tries to have 70 or 80 rounds of practice shots per month. In 1942 he started wearing glasses, but says he, "It didn?t affect my sharp eye. I can still see good at a distance." This expert?s goal is "to watch potential young shooters in the department be able to win."

ALTON, may we suggest that the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank buy some round trip tickets for your fellow workers to spend some Indian Summers in the beautiful hill country of Scott County where they can learn the lore of field and stream and join in a "turkey shoot" where a "bull?s eye:" is easy to come by. There are not witches left to spell "Old Betsy."

Early Days On Paint Rock: An Oral History
(Part II)

(EDITOR?S NOTE ? The following article is the second installment of an oral history by Letcher Sexton which was recorded by his sister Edrie Huff in January 1979 and was later transcribed and printed in the Spring, 1986 issue of the Scott County Historical Society Newsletter).

A new tipple made it much more convenient to transport the coal and the little thousand pound coal cars to the new and better tip house. And somewhere along at this time, my Dad decided I should be put to work a little bit. So, between the ages of nine and eleven I was taken in to help him get his coal in the number two mine, which was on the right as you go up into Punkin Hollow.

He had a room that had a little moisture in it and, anyway, I was big enough and with my narrow shovel, I could help him out considerably. I was especially good in moving his drill tools around. The drill tools were the augers and the thread babar and the posts and the tube extensions. And there was a crank to make the auger turn. It fitted on the thread bar. The thread bar had a thread box that fitted in the posts with threads on it to force, at regular speed per turn, the advancemennt of the auger to cut the coal. Well, I was quite handy at the moving those around, but he?d want me to crank that thread bar to drill the hole. I remember I could just barely get it over with two hands, and squatted down and on my knees and lay down, I tried all different positions to be able to crank that. I could do it a little. But he could come over there and take one hand and he?d kneel down, since the coal was only 28 inches high ? didn?t leave much room between the top and botttom to straighten up. He could straighten out, but he couldn?t straighten up. He had power, he could just turn that crank around and right away he?d drill up two feet. Then he?d take it out and put in a four foot bit, drill it out two feet more, then take it out and put in a six foot bit, and drill it up two feet more. Then he had a six foot hole to put powder and fuse in to blast out a section of coal.

They had a regular time, at quitting time, to blast out. So, I learned how to stick your lamp under the fuse and light it so it wouldn?t blow the light out. Accidents were caused by persons with a small light that didn?t know how to light a fuse and hold their lamp so that the flame wouldn?t blow out. Dad taught me how to sound out the slate above you and tell whether it was dangerous or not. How to put up brace posts and caps on them, drive them up tight so the roof wouldn?t come down, or chunks fall out? of it. He almost made a miner out of me.

It was along about this time that he got a summons to go over to Huntsville and appear in court. It seemed like in some mine, somebody had got hurt. And they had a lawsuit and not much that I can remember about it other than they asked dad a lot of funny questions and, finally, the judge got disgusted, either at dad or the lawyers one. He turned and said, "Mr. SEXTON, in your opinion, how long does it take a man to become a dependable coal miner?"

Dad said, "Your Honor, some may learn within four months. Others may learn within six months. But there?s some that will never learn."

So, I fiddled around for several months helping him in the coal mine. It was all interesting to me, but I was a lot more interested in what some of the other miners were doing. And, every time I could sneak out, I?d sneak around and try to get i in a conversation with some other miner and usually, he?d want me to go because he?d be busy doing his work. But it was in this mine that DAVE JEFFERS, while eating lunch and sitting on his tool box, a chunk of slate fell out and broke his back. The result brought about his death not long afterwards.

That?s the first coal mine accident death that I can remember. There?s some others that I?ll mention a little later on.

(End of one taping session and beginning of another).

This is January 30, another day I promised to carry on... I?m not sure to whom I made the promise, probably sister EDRA.

At this time, I wish to tell about the dinner hour. During the time from 11:30 to 12:30, some of the miners that lived nearby took their dinner by chasing home. Well, I was one that run home and got my dinner and run back. I could make it in about 20 minutes.

By that time, the regular miners, who had carried their lunch with them, had their dinner over with and were resting comfortably around a big sandrock there and telling tales and jokes. and one that I remember very well was one about the big watermelon that was grown in Georgia. This tale was told by BOB ELLER, we called him, one of the miners. And listening was four or five other miners. This watermelon that he told about was a mighty big one, according to his tale. The watermelon grew so big that, the way he described it, it would feed a hundred people ? all the melon they wanted.

And one of the miners said, "BOB, that melon that you?re talking about, I bet if it got busted all those creeks and rivers around there would overflow. Bob says, "I?m not sure that that would happen, but some of those branches might rise a little bit."

They seemed to accept and joke about it a little further. A couple of days later, that watermelon subject was brought up after a little interesting song by SHORTY ADKINS, as he was called. And, of course, I had got up as close as I could to SHORTY without getting in his way because I liked that fellow and he seemed to like me. After the song was finished, SHORTY said, "I had a trip to Knoxville in the last day or two. And on this trip I passed by a big blacksmith shop and they had a big chunk of iron red hot on a big anvil and they was three or four men beating on it with sledge hammers. It was all red and they were hammering away with great noise. I went on to Knoxville and when I came back that evening, they had that thinned out on one edge and I was curious so I went up there and I said to one of the men: "What in the world are you making ? that big thing?s got a blade about a foot wide and about six feet long? What are you making?"

"Oh," he said, "I had an order from Georgia. There?s some farmer down there that had a big farm and he wanted us to send it down that night."

He said, "I wondered about that all the way home.., that big butcher knife that they was a?making." And, he said, "After I?ve studied it out, I could only come to one conclusion."

And BOB ELLER spoke up and said, "What was that conclusion, Shorty?"

"Why," he says, "that conclusion was that they were making that knife to cut your big Georgia watermelon!"

So, that is one of the jokes that I remember there when I was a kid about nine years old.

There was an explosion in this mine. And that explosion occurred on a Saturday and dad took me to Cherry Fork Church to hear Uncle REUBEN preach on Saturdays about once a month. And this happened to be that Saturday. And dad crowded me into the seat and sat over to the edge next to the aisle and the other part of the seat was against the wall. I could slide back and forth on the seat for entertainment, but I daren?t try to get out from my Dad. And they had a strip underneath of the seat in front and underneath the seat on one I was sitting on there was no way for me to get down and crawl through, so I had to take it. And I did.

I can?t ever remember what Uncle GEORGE preached. He had a sing-song kind of way of preaching that was very interesting but it was hardly understandable to me at my age of about eight or nine.

Now, during the time that we were up there, an explosion occurred in this No. 2 Pumpkin Hollow Mine and a Mr. HILL and a Mr. BLEVINS got their face pretty well pitted and speckled with black mine dust. That?s about all I can remember of that.

Then, along not far from that time, AARON (or Allen?) DUNCAN was caught by a slate fall and it resulted in his death a little later. And then, W. M. or BILL SMITH was caught in another slate fall and his back was broke. He survived on the bed helpless for more than five months before he died.

And then, along about 1910 (I?m moving this up a little), the Pumpkin Hollow No. 1 Mine exploded. At that time I was attending school at Oneida School... they didn?t have a high school there, then.., and staying with my grandmother. On this daay before Christmas the school turned out about two o?clock and I remember walking home with CLIFFORD SEXTON, about four miles through the Tunnel Hill tunnel and along the railroad ?til I got down to Stanley Junction. And at Stanley Junction they had a store and someone said there was an explosion at 11:30 up at the mine. And this was between three and four o?clock that Clifford and I arrived at Stanley Junction.

We went up immediately to this Pumpkin Hollow No. 1 Mine and went to the wide opening inside the mine ? it had been made so they could have a side track, or a double track, at this point about 50 or 75 yards long. And then beyond that, there was an entry that turned to the right and one to the left. The left entry had had a door to cause the air to be sucked around and through the entry to the right. But the explosion had occurred... it was a dust explosion set off by having two or three heavy shots in a close place and made dust and set the dust on fire.

So, this was a dust explosion that occurred one or two days before Christmas, 1910. It had blown down the curtains and the doors and other arrangements that caused the air to circulate around the mine. Therefore, the men that was in there woulld be suffocated by the carbon dioxide that was hanging in the air. So I turned to a group consisting of FRED PHILLIPS, MITCHELL THOMPSON, Uncle BILL SEXTON, and EVERETT DUNCAN and we was proceeded ahead up the airway. As they got (unrecognizable word) backup to force the air along, we followed it up. Dr. M. E. THOMPSON came along with a box full of ammonia and he?d give us a little teaspoon every now and then and we kept on until we got a way back under the mountain. We came across fiirst MONROE SEXTON, that was laying on his stomach, his face down, in a little airway. Right ahead of him lay his brother BILL SEXTON, who was a first cousin to the other BILL SMITH that had died before. And then on up in a room that had been cucut back about 50 or 60 feet, we found JOHN FREEMAN (Sexton), laying on his right side, facing down the room, with the little lamp in his hand and fully dead. So the five of us managed to scoot him back to the airway, down this room that the coal was 28 inches high. In other words, it was only 28 inches between the slate above and the rock floor below, and we laid on our sides and managed to scoot him down until they got him through the airway to where some of the slate had been shot down and loaded out, then they could carry him over to the entry. And the entry was about eight or nine feet wide at the bottom and about four feet wide at the top, and six feet from the floor to the top of the entry. We started down this entry and I was carrying his right leg and hip, and had just got started about 10 or 15 feet when I had to let down and holler to the others, "I?m losing my strength," and I run back up into this airway and immediately fell to sleep.

LUTHER PENNINGTON came in and slapped me and waked me and got me

(Continued on page 6)

(Continued from page 5)

up enough that he could manage to get me to walk hanging over his shoulder to get me down to where there was plenty of fresh air.

I got home that night and I slept about 14 hours straight through. And that?s my memory of the explosion in which the three Sexton brothers were killed. These were sons of EMANUEL SEXTON and WINNIE WEST SEXTON, who was mother?s uncle.

Somebody told a tale about a salesman traveling around in the hills and up the hollows in a horse and buggy. Well, there were very few roads that a horse and buggy could be taken over together. But this salesman was doing the better areas and at one place in a rainy spring season, he passed along a field and he saw a young boy over there all by himself hoeing out weeds in a corn patch and the weeds was about to take it. And the boy was lookin? pretty bad. So, he hollered out at the boy, "Hello, there boy!"

The boy hollered, "Hello," and kept on hoeing weeds out of the corn. And the salesman hollered, "It looks like you?re having a pretty tough time a?keeping the weeds out."

The boy said, ?Yes, it?s been too rainy to get out here to plow it and look after it like it should?ve been."

The fellow says, "It looks like you?re going to have a yellow crop this year."

The boys says, "I hope so, we planted yellow corn."

An the salesman felt a little steam there and he said, "There?s not much between you and a fool, is there?"

The boy looked up and said, "No, just a fence."

And that sent the salesman on his way.

KATHERINE WEST, who later married HARRINGTON, taught a subscription school there on Paint Rock. And dad subscribed for me ? I must have been somewhere around eight and nine years old at this time ? and I had to walk about three quarters of a mile up to the building that the school was in. It was started in an old church building that was burned down not long afterwards, just south of the commissary, southeast of the commissary in old Alma.

It was a very nice church building, built by the company to serve the families of the miners. They used it a lot. Uncle GEORGE CECIL used to come there and hold meetings. And then there was a preacher that came in that they called the Holy Rollers. And he had a few nice people with him when they held meetings that I can remember.

But it was in this building that KATHERINE started her subscription school. And, of course, I was a little bit hunting for devilment and I came to the tip house where they have some fairly coarse dust and I put some of that in my pocket one day. And I made me a slingshot with a cutout piece of rubber tab on it to hold my stones or dust or whatever I? wanted to shoot. But the rubber was made out of women?s garters. I?d cut them in two and put them around a forked stick and they were pretty strong garters and I could shoot pretty good with them.

One day I looked over across the aisle, on the side where the girls sat, and I saw one of the girls with her dress up about her knees. They wore mostly longer dresses in those days. And her legs looked white and kindly fat, so I loaded my slingshot pouch up with this coal dust and got it down in the aisle and pulled it back and let it go.

Well, this stung this girl?s legs and she didn?t know what had happened and let out a little yell. And the teacher come back in investigate and she looked all around and everybody, including me, had their nose in the book and just as innocent as could be and that went on for a little while longer. I loaded me up another and give another shot, and that time the girl squealed because I?d pulled the rubber a little tighter and let the coal dust go a little harder and it stung a little stronger. And KATHERINE come rushing back there. And I was the only one, she said, that could have done it, so she invited me to come out into the aisle. And I got out in the aisle and she was going to search me. And she did. And she found this slling shot. And when she found it, I grabbed for it, too. I had hid it under my clothes. I got a hold of one of the forks and she got a hold of the other fork and in the pull the fork split, and that left me with a broken slingshot. But she got it away from me and I didn?t have any more garter slingshot.

But I did learn and I did enjoy going to school to KATHERINE.

Now, going to another subject, along about 1907 or 1908, dad thought I should go over and stay with Grandma SEXTON. That would be his mother, who had Aunt WINNIE and MANDY, two daughters with her, and three of her grandchildren. And my job was to help them with the farm work around there. They lived on 109 acres, had a big double log house. Had a well and a spring. Had mules and had an old horse and a colt named Pin-(line missing in transcription) to that enjoyed playing with. Then they had chickens and guinnies and turkeys around. And an old peacock that I used to be afraid of when he spread his tail in front of my face and showed me how pretty it was back there.

?They had some bee gums but they had just about died out. I hauled in wood, plowed, and went to the store and, in the fall of the year, I started walking two miles to school in Oneida. (I think I?d better leave the rest of this for a little later about a school story and move on to the shutdown of the Roberts Coal Company and the closing down of the mine).

Along about 1910 or before.., when it closed down, they left very little coal to be taken out of the old Cornbread Mine that had lasted about 20 years. The electrical machinery had all been removed. The tipple was beginning to show signs of decay and part of the tipple that went across the branch had already been taken down, leaving just the part the coal was tippled over into the railroad cars.

About this time, R. A. WOOD took over and opened the Boneyard Mine again and we had a little operation going up there. And at that time, I had worked with dad and Uncle BILL and Uncle FERNANDEZ (?) BILBREY had made a contract over at the Pumpkin Hollow Mine area for another section and they operated the mine and I drove a mule from about a half a mile where they brought the coal out of the mine in cars and lined them up on top of a little grade, hill, with the track running steeply down and used old Spoonfoot, a mule that we had at that time, to take them on over to the old Pumpkin Hollow Tip House. And I was the weigh master, the tip master, and the mover of the coal cars to get them right under the tipple, and carry the empties back up to the top of the hill where another mule skinner and another mule took the empties back in and get them loaded and bring them back full for me to pick up again.

This was in the winter of 1911 and -12 and that was the coldest winter I ever remember ever experiencing in this area. The creek that run alongside the railroad down by Stanley Junction and over from our house got dammed up by freezes till the water would rise up three foot high and then flow over little bluffs .of ice. There was only a few places we could cross the stream and take a chance on getting the mule to cross, because of this dammed up ice and icy water. I believe that the temperature stayed at zero and below from the latter part of January up to the middle of February of that year.

That was worked on up ?til May and then dad and Uncle BILL and FERNANDEZ closed this mine over there down and went to work for R.A. WOOD at the Boneyard Mine. And up there I was transferred to a mule skinner to gather the coal from inside the mine, while JOHN GOODMAN was the mule skinner that took it about a mile around a tramway to get to the old Cornbread Tip House that is still in use.

Now, just before . . . in 1911. I?d succeeded in getting appointed to teach school at the old Foggle?s (?) School. And that was to begin in July, the last of July, 1911. At that time, I lacked about three months of being 17 years old. I faced the school students, that ranged from about 18 years or 19 years old down to about 5 years old, in all 6 grades? Then, the enrollment was between 80 and 100. So, you can imagine what a problem I had. But I managed to teach that school and two years later, the citizens wanted me back, so I do have a little something to brag about.

FRANK JEFFERS, son of RANEY JEFFERS JONES, accidentally was blasted to death in a coal mine in the hill across from Paint Rock Creek and railroad, south from the new schoolhouse. I remember JOE KIDD carrying his limp body to his mother?s home. FRANK had a brother, JAMES, and a sister, JOSIE, and an older sister, ELDORA, who was the wife of W. M. or BILL SMITH. Also about this time, RANEY?s son, JIM, shot and killed a Mr. FORD and a Mr. FOSTER. After being shot down, Mr. FORD was able to kill JIM as he began to run away. The shotgun blast almost removed the back of JAMES JEFFERS? head. This event happened along the railroad directly across from the creek and railway from JOHN KEETON?S home, above the rock cut. This is a sad year for... RANEY JONES.

Now, sister LATONIA may have been old enough to remember mother?s taking us with her to pay respects when the corpses were laid out waiting their coffins. I do not know which one of the Sons died first. JOSIE had married MORRIS DUNCAN, son of MARION DUNCAN. A year or so later, he and another man left Paint Rock and was never heard from again.

Now, we get to BARRY SIMPSON. He with his Sons HARVE and JESS opened a coal mine about 300 yards west of the JOE KIDD opening and built a big, high tip house. This mine soon played out and was closed. However, in the mine the big, black wild bear hoax was staged. Thus, a yearly calf hide was well stuffed and painted black. A lantern was lighted and placed for light to shine through the removed eyes. The apparition was hung on a stretched length of wire suspended from the roof of the entry and a pull wire was arranged to move the animal back and forth. The operator was placed safely back in the mine so he could manipulate the bear and imitate the bear?s ranging growls.

Bear tracks were made in scattered areas, so that the bear hunters could find the bear tracks leading to the damp earth which had been wetted by carried water leading directly to the mine.

Then, the arranged bear hunt began. Three or four men with their gullible one included in the group. All had rifles except the pigeon man, who had a shotgun. Several other men kept hidden so as to approach when the pigeon man saw the raging bear, got scared, began firing and backing away. When the bear backed away into the dark mine, he began to get bold and brag. The mad bear advanced again; more shots were fired. The bear?s eyes went out, then the crowd got large and hollered, ?You s sure killed that bear!" All the children yelled. By that time, the children had accumulated. And the bear imitator and manipulator came forth with the stuffed calf. Now, the hoax man became very mad and began raising his shotgun say, "I ought to kill you.

Some of the men nearby grabbed him and got the gun. It took a lot of talk and apology and several free drinks of whiskey to calm and pacify him Then, with the help of the whiskey, he began to laugh. And he laughed even to a belly laugh.

(Continued on next page)

(Continued from page 6)

So, it ended the bear hoax in a friendship and good humor.

At that time, in 1902, there were no autos, no radios, no televisions. Fun and distractions and entertainments were homemade, along with whiskey, brandy, beer, cider, applejack, biscuits, cracker and bread, cakes, pies and other goodies too tedious to mention.

This is the last day of January, 1979. and I think I?ll tell about a visit that Grandpa CHRIS SEXTON made to our homeplace on Paint Rock. At the time, I was around five or six years old. My grandpa came walking up through the field with his walklking stick ? I was playing outside ? and I ran down to meet him. Well, he was giving me a look-over, didn?t say anything, just kept right on walking. Come on up to the house, went up on the porch, saw a chair and went on over and sat down in it. Mother came out and they greeted one another with a few words. Mother asked him if he wanted anything to drink, and if he wanted anything to eat.

"No, no.

?Won?t you come into the house?"

"No, I just want to rest a few minutes."

And she looked kind of funny.

And he said, "I just needed a little walk and I thought I'd walk down here and see how the family was along I?ll be going in a few minutes."

And directly he kind of perked up and said, "How ?bout taking him with me?"

Mother said, "Alright," as far as she knew.

He said, "Alright, get him ready."

So, she got me ready and he stuck his finger down in a few minutes and come off the porch with him. We walked on until we come to a fence about 100 yards from the house that we had to go through to follow the old wagon road that went up through Paint Rock, where we could get on the railroad and continue walking toward Tunnel Hill.

Now, he hardly said a word and I turned the finger loose and continued to jog along beside him. We got on up through Paint Rock a little ways and we-came to what was called a rock cut, and there the water was gushing out and there was a tin cuup sitting by it and he picked up the cup, took a drink of water himself, caught another cut and give me a drink of water and I wondered why he didn?t give me a drink of water first. And the only answer I could figure out was, if it?s good enough for me it ought to be good enough for you. I?ve tested it and it ought to be safe enough for you.

So, we drank the water and he emptied the cup and sat it back and started just a little farther and the section foreman of the railroad maintenance crew was tamping the ties at the upper end of the cut. And, as soon as we got up with them, GEORGE SHARP seemed mighty happy to see grandpa and they talked a minute or so ? George did most of the talking ?and then he looked over at his crew and he said, "Put your tools on and set it on."

Then he picked me up and set me on (the section car) with the tools. Then he told the men we?d go up to Tunnel Hill, he had a little job that needed to be done up there. And that was about three quarters of a mile, partially upgrade all the way to Tunnel Hill.

So, grandpa and GEORGE SHARP, the foreman, walked back behind and I couldn?t hear what they said. But I was rather amused to get to ride on this section tool car. There was four men and they just pushed you.., and, finally, we arrived at the entrance to the tunnel.

GEORGE came over and put me off, then he said to the men, "Set her off." They picked it up, one at each corner, set if off at the side of the track. Then he said, "Bring your tools and fix this track along here." And while they were doing that, grandpa stuck his finger down to give me the sign that I should go with him.

He took a little path along the right side of the road that went on up the side of the tunnel and up to a ridge road at the top of the tunnel that led westward. So, we followed on up to this ridge road to kind of a haul road, a wagon haul road, and we followed on across the hill, climbing a little higher and higher.

We got all the way to the top just before we turned down a little bit, to come down to the brow from which we could look down on the CHRIS SEXTON farm. He had 109 acres there and partially cleared with some fields in the valley and some fields on some ridges. And he had a pasture and a meadow and fields for corn and fields for hay, and all that I could see down there. But what interested me more was looking down on the barn and seeing all those guinnies and turkeys and geese and pigs a and the cows and the calves all running around. Then I looked down a little farther to the right in a hollow to the right of the house and there was a colt and a mare and a mule and another kind of bayish colored animal, horse. And looked towarrd the house and there was apple trees all along, and a paling fence along the side. And I know today that there was about two acres reserved along that paling fence for his garden area. And then right between the house and the garden was a great big top of a barn.

And over to the left was a big feed shed and another shed. On down was the house, a great big double loghouse, quite long and it had a big long porch along the right hand side. And on the left hand side of the logs an enclosed area that might have been a porch that was now used for a kitchen.

Anyway, grandpa and I went on down this hill and down past the barn and through the gate and on past the well and around into the house. Of course, at that time, there was my grandma, Aunt MARTHA, and WINNIE, and MANDY and Aunt SALLY still at home.

I was kindly restless and wanted to look around. And Aunt WINNIE took me to walk around the house. And they had flowers in little beds all along the front of the house. We walked on around past the smokehouse, looked over at the big cedar tree at the back of the bow of the hill. Under there was a bird with a long tail, the longest tail that I?d ever remembered seeing. And that was, Aunt WINNIE said, the old peacock.



Part III: Early Days on Paint Rock: An Oral History

(EDITOR?S NOTE? This is the third and final installment of an oral history by LETCHER SEXTON which was recorded by his sister EDRIE HUFF in January 1979 and was later transcribed and printed in the Scott County Historical Society Newsletter).

Of course, there was turkeys and a gobbler or two strutting around back there. And then she walked on around past the end of the house and we came to more flowers. Over next to the paling fence, along that end of the fence, there was bee gums, ttwo kinds. One was a patent white-type bee gum, kindly square and covered over and then over, scattered amongst them, were these tree bee gums, where they had cut a hollow tree down and cut it about four feet long and run sticks on the inside for the bees to build their honey on. And the bees were just all around there and I was plenty scared of being stung. But Aunt WINNIE said, ?Pay no attention.?

We went on around the house and back in the house. About that time they was ready to turn me loose and let me play. But they had warned me not to bother with the little dog there they called Plato. He looked like a little fox ?small teeth and quite small. But he was old and ill and ill natured. But he was attached to Grandpa and stayed right with him.

Now, I think I?d better close out on the visit by saying my Dad come up at the weekend and took me back home.

From there, I?ll skip over to the period between 1900 and 1904...

During the period of time that CAS and RACHEL SEXTON was affected by the following events of closely related people.

Grandma NANCY WEST CECIL died of cancer on her face. She had been moved from her home to the home of her daughter, NANCY, or Mrs. JAMES CARSON?s. Here she died on the twelfth of March, 1900 at the age of 67. I can remember seeing them hold her a arms while she was hollering and paining with this cancer that had partly removed part of her face and particularly her left ye. She was buried at the Cecil Cherry Fork Cemetery in a well-made coffin trimmed in black muslin and padded and pitted and sewed by neighbor women, all of whom were relatives.

Later they decided that they didn't want to make their home there, making their way westward, they came down to what is now Coalfield. They settled here and built a log cabin where they raised their family.

Theother children are Floyd, never married; Flora, married but nochildren; Mattie, married and has 1 daughter, Bettie, Sim married andhad 2 children. Sim is Dead. Uncle Sim was killed accidentally whenlittle Sim was 9 month's old. Uncle Sim and Dad closed GrandpaPotter's store one night and went by the old Lodge Hall when was stillstanding when I went to Huntsville to stay with Harriett Childressafter Aunt Laura and her husband, Rial Millard, and three children,Clark, Louise and Lucille, moved out and went to Dorton, nearCrossville. Two more children were born: Ruth and Kathleen. Lucilleddied when she was about 8 years old; she had a tumor. Her stomach washard as a rock and she looked like she was pregnant. They were livingin Cincinnatti at that time. Anyway, the old lodge hall stood behindthe old Presbyterian church. At thahat time, there was a Mossip schoolfor girls where the new presybterian church now stands. Dad and UncleSim went to a pie supper and while they were there a fight began withshooting. Dad and Uncle Sim ran. In the dark they got separated andDaDad ran down the street towards the jail. Uncle Sim ran down thesidewalk in front of Mossip School. Next morning Aunt Hattie sentFloyd out to the (our) house to ask if Uncle Sim spent the night. Daddressed quickly and started towards the lodgdge hall. He found UncleSim lying on his face on the side walk near the front gate of theMossip School Grounds. A bullet had hit him in his back and wentthrough his heart, lodged in the day book in which he recorded theday's sales at the store. The book, which had a hard back, was in hisinside coat pocket. The bullet had pierced one back, the pages, andlodged against the other back. A man left Huntsville that night, wasgone about 40 years, and came back. He asked about some Phillipsboys, Caldwell and Harrison. There may have been others, but they areall I remember. One man, Caldwell I think it was, bought a pie whichbelonged to his (the man who left) girl. They fought and the shootingbegan. The Phillips boys were taall like Dad and Uncle Sim. Later heasked if any could remembered the pie supper and the fight. He wastold "yes" and that a man, Sim Sexton, was killed by a stray bullet.He had left thinking he killed thie Phillips man, so Dad said. AuntHatter later married L.A. Chambers from Buffalo. They had 3 children. Potter, Hattie (I11711)

---Snyder Roberts

Mrs. Helen Clayton information says he was born in Orange Co., VA andm. Mary Bryson (1761-1805) of Surry Co., NC. Information elsewhere that he married Tabitha ???. Possibly died in childbirth in 1805 as that was when his son, Samuel, was born. Per Snyder Roberts, possible father of John was Capt. William Cox, b 1705 Orange Co. VA, m. 1754 toRebecca Edwards. Capt Cox fought at Kings Mountain in 1780, but wouldhave been too old to have been the same Capt William Cox born in 1705.

Information from Snyder Roberts:
1. John Cox signed a road petition and listed in Capt. Nails Co. in1817 paying poll tax (Book E. p 189.)
2. John Cox purchased 112 acres and a ferry on Clinch River from HughFrancis in 1818. (Site of the 1970s-1980s Clinch River BreederReactor. Also site of Indian Town of Paw Paw. Neighbors would havebeen Dr. Richard Richards, Waller, Fritts, Pickel, Francis, Jones,Nails, Rother, Gallaher, Weleker Roberts, Miller, others.
3. John Cox sold 112 acres in 1833 to Martin Watson (Deed Book F., p872).
4. John Cox died 10/25/1841 Roane County.

On Dec. 1830, 1833 John J. Roberts, a Justice in the Roane CountyCourt, as an agent for Rev. War Soldier John Cox filed a pension claimwith the Bureau of Pensions. These records show (1) John Cox was bornin Orange Co. VA. (2) While a residenent of Orange Co. he enlisted fora 3-month tour of duty in 1776. He enlisted for 3 mos in 1777 andagain in 1777 for 3 months. Then while on a visit to a brother inN.C., he was captured by the Tories and held for several days. Soonafterward, he served a tour of 5 months with N.C. troups under Capt.White and was in the Battle of Kings Mountain 10/07/1780 after whichhe returned to Burke Co., NC. (3) After the war, he lived in N.C.,until about 1817 when he moved to Roane County TN. (4) The militaryrecords contain no data relative to John's family except for thebrother in N.C.

COVER SHEETS, OR SUMMARY

John Cox (1758-1841) Rev. War Pensioner, Roane County pioneer to the Paw Paw ford are on Clinch River.

This compilation of information on Rev. War pensioner, John Cox, and his descendants has been prepared to serve as basic ?work papers? for further genealogical study and research on this old pioneer, Roane County family. This information needs to be further refined by research, errors corrected, and new information added as research and study progresses.

Contributors

The participating in this family search and making contributions of their findings include: Mrs. Laura Cox Younger of Oliver Springs, Mrs. Ina Cox Ollis of Oliver Springs, Mrs. Mildred Foster of Harriman, Mrs. Dorothy Cox Melton of Oliver Springs, Mrs. Denise Cox Phillips of Oliver Springs, Mr. Elmer Cox Jr. of Sugar Grove Valley together with his nephews and nieces, Mrs. Helen Clayton of Salt Lake City, Utah, and others ot a lesser degree.

Further Research Areas

Much of the success of developing a good Cox family history will necessitate the sorting out of known facts about John Cox and obtaining further documentary proof in the form of military and pension records. Accurate military records, chancery and circuit court records, and other miscellaneous county records need to be searched more fully, also, most of John Cox?s son?s records remain to be researched.

Rev. War John Cox

Mrs. Emma Wells in her book ?History of Roane County, Tenn? page 28 lists the Rev. War soldiers living in Roane County who were pensioned under the Pension Act of 1832. In the list is John cox, Pvt., who served from the state of Va. On page 2929, she lists the Rev. War soldiers in Roane County who were drawing a pension under the Pension Act of 1840. In this list is John Cox, who was 82 years of age at that time (1840). This information establishes his birthdate as 1758, and will be used until his military and pension papers can be obtained from the National Archives, from a family Bible, or other documents.

Additional Information

Mrs. Helen Clayton has unverified information to the effect that John Cox was born in 1758 in Orange County, VA., and married Mary Bryson (1761-1805) of Surry County, North Carolina. Other information has him married to Tabitha ______ ________, so he could have been married twice, or his wife?s name was Mary Tabithya. Also, unverified, that John Cox fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain, but Pat Alderman?s rolls do not list a ?John Cox?. Also, unverified is the statement that Johohn Cox?s father, Capt. William Cox, born 1705 in Orange County, VA., who married 1754 to Rebecca Edwards. A Capt. William Cox did fight at Kings Mountain (1780), but he (John?s father) would have been decrepit from old age if this were the same one (75 years of age).

Other information

Summer?s Annale of Southwest, Va. Has oodles of information about a John Cox, and a William Cox.

A John and a William Cox were signers to a petition in connection with the State of Franklin, (Ramsey?s Annale). Goodspeed in his ?history of East Tenn?, tells about a William Cox who was a J.P., respected in politics, and lived between New Market and Strawberry Plains, (page 185), with a Samuel Cox living nearby. William Cox was one of the J.P?s whenJefferson County was formed in 1702. East Tenn. Hist. Soc. Publication for Dec. 1896, page 147, contains the list of names in Thomas Amis? account book (Hawkins Co.). In the list are accounts with Capt. John Cox, 1784, and William Cox, Sr., 1783. If this is ?our? John, he rated a ?Capt.? When 16 years of age. It can be seen that there is much material on the early Cox families to be researched and sorted out.

?Our John Cox in Roane?

?Our? John Cox definitely was in Roane Co. in 1817 as shown by his signature on a road petition, and listed iN Capt. Nails Co. in 1817 paying a poll tax, Book E. page 189. In 1818, John Cox bought 112 acres and a ferry on Clinch River from Hugh Francis. His tract was the site of the present day Clinch River Atomic Breeder Reactor (now defunct). This site was the site of the Indian town of Paw Paw. John Cox would have been neighbors with Dr. Richard Richards, the families of Waller, Fritts, Pickel, Francis, Jones, Nails, Rother, Gallaher, Weleker, Roberts, Miller, etc.

Shortly after John received his Rev. War pension, he sold nearly all of his 112 acres in 1833 to Martin Watson (Deed Book F, page 872). See abstract of deeds attached. John seemed to have lived in semi-retirement until his death October 25, 1841.

John Cox?s Will

In John?s will dated July 1840, he lists by names nine sons, two granddaughters, and five female slaves. No ages are given, nor is a wife mentioned. Only a part of Roane County official and other records have been scanned for bits of information on John Cox and his nine sons in an effort to compile factual information that may be useful in fitting the past of the John Cox story together.

Four of the nine sons have been found in census records that provide dates for their ages, and three with states of their death. The nine sons are treated below in the order in which their names appear in their father?s will.

1. Martin Cox (Born 1799- )

Martin Cox?s name appears on the Roane County 1826 Militia and Tax List. In 1826 he was captain of a company and apparently paying taxes on one 4 acre tract and another of 100 acres. In order to have served (been elected) as a Captain of the Militia, he would have had to be 21 years of age or older and a man with a good reputation and mature judgement.

Martin Cox does not appear in the Roane County 1830 census, and had evidently already departed Roane to live in Overton Cunty, Tennessee, some 60 to 75 miles to the northwest. Martin Cox and the prominent Baptist Preacher, Micah Sellers, were the Executors of John Cox?s will dated July 1840, and they carried out the provisions of the will after John?s death, October 25, 1841.

In 1833, Martin Cox of Overton County, Tennessee, sold to James Atkins of Roane County, 100 acres on the north side of the Clinch River (Roane Deed Book G, page 621).

The Martin Cox family is shown in the Overton County 1840 census with four boys, 2 girls and a wife. His age was between 1790-1800, four boys from 5 to 20 years of age, 2 girls 5 to 15 years of age, and his wife between 1800-1810.

The Overton County 1850 census shows Martin Cox as born in North Carolina in 1799, 5 children with birth dates ranging from1830 to 1849, and a wife Sara born 1816 in Kentucky. These records indicate that Martin wa then living with a second wife, and some of his older children had married. No doubt, much more information could be gathered on this family in Overton County. This Martin Cox had a nephew, Martin Cox, in Roane, and possible other descendants used the name.

(Attachments not included in this document.)

2. Allen Cox (born 1800-1810--- )

Allen Cox was married to Elizabeth White Dec 24, 1826 in Roane County by Brashear Roberts, J.P.. In 1828, Allen Cox and George White conveyed a tract of 66 acres, located near the Martin Cox land, to William Burns. According to the Roane Counnty 1830 census, Allen Cox was born between 1800 and 1810, his wife was born between 1800- and 1810, 1 girl under 5 years and 1 boy under 5 years, and a female in the household born between 1780 and 1790 (possibly a mother-in-law). The Allen Coox family is also listed in the Roane County 1830 school census in Captain White?s company living near his father John Cox and his brother Samuel Cox. Allen Cox?s children are not known, but his father, John Cox, in his will, left a slave to the Allen Cox children.

3. Richard Cox (born 1804- )

According to the Lewis C. Co Bible now in the possession of Mrs. Laura Cox Younger of Oliver Springs, his father, Richard Cox was born July 15, 1804 in North Carolina, and died March 26, 1895. In the Roane County 1826 Militia and Tax List, Richard Cox is shown in Captain Burris? Company living with either his father, John Cox, or his brother, Martin Cox. He did not own land, but wa old enough (21 years) to pay a poll tax. Richard does not show up by name in either the Roane or Anderson County 1830 census, but may have been still living in the houseold of his father.
Probably about 1831 or 32, Richard married a well-to-do Anderson County girl Rachel Nichols (also Nichles), born 1812, died December 8, 1887. She was the daughter of William and Rachel Haslet Nichols who were married in nox County 10-21-1796. William Nickols was listed in Captain Lone?s Militia and Tax List for Knox County for 1807. (There was also a John Cox in the same Company, -possibly our John Cox.) William Nichols acquired 5 valuable tracts of land in the 9th District of AAnderson County on Clinch River between Scarbrought and Edgemoor. These two Rachels (mother and daughter) must have been strong characters and well loved women, because of the practice in later years of the Cox families by naming their daughters ?Rachel?.
Richard and Rachel Cox appear in the Anderson County 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. Richard and Rachel acquired 50 acres, possibly by inheritance from William and Rachel Nichols as shown in Anderson County Deed Book K, page 422. He also acqquired from others their share in the original Nichols homeplace, see Book R, page 220 dated 1855. Not easily traced, but other transactions in Anderson include; Book S, page 383, Richard Cox to Lewis CV. Cox; Book S, page 188, R.T. Cox to Jamemes H. Cox; Book U, page 65 Richard Cox to his son Lewis Cox dated 1/12/1867,-?his share in 80 acres where Richard and Rachel now live.? Book U, page 66, Lewis C. Cox to his brother Thomas A. Cox, 1867?163 acres. The Anderson County 1880 census shows Richard and Rachel Cox living in the home with William Nichols, Jr. ? showing that he was born in North Carolina, his father was born in Virginia and his mother born in North Carolina.
See the set of Richard Cox family data sheets attached for more details on his descendants. His eldest son Lewis Clark Cox, born 1835, was a man of prominence. He fought in the Civil War, served as Anderson County Circuit Clerk in 1870, his son Jessie was a school teacher and his son Robert A. Cox reared a famil in Roane.
Lewis Cox?s Bible, and his son Robert A. Cox?s Bible have provided the proof and many answers to problems in the Cox story. Thanks to Mrs. Laura Cox Younger, Xerox copies of data from these two Bibles are attached.
4. Samuel Cox (born 1805, Tenn)
According to the Roane County 1850 census, Samuel Cox was born in 1805 in Tennessee. If the census is correct, this birth date and place is important, because it is evident that dates the time of his father?s family moving from North Carolina t to Tennessee. His brother, Richard was born in North Carolina in 1804. It is possible that the father, John Cox, came from North Carolina to Knox County, Tennessee, because a John Cox is listed in Captain Lone?s company of Knox County in 1807. (This needs further research.)
Samuel?s father, John Cox, was in Roane by 1817, and bought his Clinch River Farm and Ferry in 1818. Although he was not 21 years of age, Samuel?s name appears in an 1818 ?road petition?. Samuel is listed in Captain White?s 1830 School Districct. He is listed in the Roane 1830 census with a wife and one daughter and living with his father. Samuel married Mary ?Polly Copeland?, in Roane County July 20, 1828. He and his father, John, were living in the same household in 1832 when his father received his Rev. War Pension. Of course, Samuel ws named in his father?s will in 1840.
Samuel was one of the more important children of John Cox from the standpoint of tracing Cox family history. His descendants remained mostly in in Roane or nearby. His son, James, had a large family; is son Martin had a large family, fought iin the Civil War, and bought and sold much land; Richard ?Dick? Cox was a Civil War soldier. Samuel Cox may have fought in the Civil War, and may be the Samuel Cox buried in Cem. #17 with a military stone beside his son Martin (Bear Creek Valley O.R.).
Samuel Cox bought and sold much land, especially in the Bethel Valley-Chestnut Ridge-Bear Creek Valley area. The exact date of Samuel?s death is not known but it was after 1870. His widow, Mary, was living near her son Martin in the Roane 1880 census.
See attached set of family data sheets on Samuel and his descendants.
5. Matthew Cox
At the present time, the birthdate, birthplace, etc., of Matthew Cox is unknown. He has not been found in any Roane County records, census records, etc., except his name in his father?s will in which he was to receive a sum of money. Mrs. Helen Clayton of Salt Lake City, one of the researchers of the Cox family, has some family data on Matthew and a wife named Ann, but this information has not been received in time for inclusion in these work papers.
6. Alexander Cox
Alexander Cox has not been found in any Roane, Anderson or Morgan County census records. In McCluen?s, a tax lists of Roane?, Alexander is shown as paying taxes on 170 acres located on Poplar Creed in 1816, apparently his brother, Thomas, was living with him. If this date is correct, then he preceded his father, John Cox, to Roane by one year. The Roane 1819 Tax List shows Alexander Cox living on Clinch River with 40 acres. In 1820 he was in Captain Nail?s company with his father John, and brothers Thomas, Sinclair, and James in Captain Pickle?s Company. In 1841 Alexander is listed in Captain Johnson?s Company with 50 acres on Clinch River, together with his brothers Thomas and Sinclair.
On February 8, 1821, Alexander Cox married Sarah West in Roane County. The Morgan County, Tennessee, 1836 tax list (History of Morgan County by Ott and Freytag) shows Alexander Cox with 500 acres in the 8th District which was in the extreme western part of Morgan County near the Cumberland County line. The Morgan County 1876 tax list shows the ?A.B. Cox? heirs paying on 325 acres in the 8th District, and a J.A. Cox paying on 200 acres in the 7th district. Among the Cox?s shown in Mororgan 1870 census I s a Martin Cox, born 1845, wife Sarah, born 1845, and 2 children. Obviously further research needs to be done in the Morgan area. Of course, Alexander was mentioned in his father?s will. It appears that Alexander was one of the older sons of Jon Cox and probably born in North Carolina.
7. Sinclair Cox
Sinclair Cox has not been found in Roane or surrounding counties census records, and his birth date, and place of birth are unknown at this time. He evidently ws born before 1800, because in the Roan 1808 Tax List he is sown in Captain Nail?s Company, (probably in the home of his brother Thomas) as paying a poll tax. This means that he was at least 21 years of age. In 1819 he and his brother Thomas signed a road petition and again in 1819, he was paying a poll tax. In 1920 he is listed in Captain Nail?s Company and paying taxes on 30 acres on Clinch River. In 1821, he is listed in Captain Johnson?s Company and paying on 30 acres. In his father?s will dated 1840, Sinclair?s children were each given money, children not named.
Researchers, Mrs. Helen Clayton of Salt Lake City, has information given to her on Sinclair which says that Sinclair married a Mary? Sims, but she has not documentary proof. From his father?s will we know that Sinclair had children.
8. Thomas Cox
Thomas Cox has not been found in a census record, and his birthdate and birthplace are not known at this time. He was evidently born before 1800 because he is sown in Roane County 1816 Tax List in Captain Nail?s Company, apparently living with his brother Alexander on Poplar Creek. Thomas was paying pool tax, and a tax on one stud horse. In 1817, he is listed in Captain West?s Company, and paying on 115 acres. In 1818, he is shown in Captain Nail?s Company, paying on 115 acres, and his brother was living with him. In 1820 he is in Captain Nail?s company paying a poll tax and on 100 acres on Clinch River. In 1821, Thomas Cox was in Captain Johnson?s Company paying on 100 acres in Bear Creek. In his father?s will in 1840, each of Thomas?s children were to receive money.
Note: This Thomas is not to be confused with a Thomas Cox, the son of Isham Cox, who lived south of Tennessee River in Roane.
9. James Cox
James Cox was left money by his father?s will in 1840 (no children?s names mentioned). It appears that James was born before 1800. In 1819, his name appears together with his brother?s Thomas and Sinclair on a road petition. In 1819, he is shown with Sinclair on Poplar Creek, and paying a pool tax. In 1820 he was listed in Captain Pickle?s Company, and paying a poll tax.

Max,

First off Max, I would like to say, thank you for your support. I am
sure much of the information about the Cox/Carey line has your
fingerprints on it. I have looked at all the old emails and found you
sent me many of the leads that led me to the conclusions that I have
today about my Cox line. With that said...

I found new information on the John Cox family of Roane Co TN. First,
the deed which is the right dates for him to come to Roane County.
The census shows John Cox with probably his son Matthew Cox, without
a wife and a young daughter. Third tells a story of John Cox with
another wife and the 1830 census shows he has a wife. His younger
children are also on the census of 1830. The last entry here has a
story of a murder of a John Cox in 1851 Roane Co TN. This John Cox
was probably a grandson of the elder John Cox since he probably
passed over about 1840. Its a mystery of what happened that day. -
All for now. Maureen

1894 Per on-line family tree at Ancestry.com:
When Martin Luther Vann/Brummett was born on February 14, 1871, in Anderson County, Tennessee, his mother, Mary, was 36. He married Nettie Elizabeth Campbell on September 4, 1898, in Anderson County, Tennessee. They had eight children during their marriage. He died on March 20, 1923, in Anderson County, Tennessee, at the age of 52, and was buried in Roane County, Tennessee.
Source is not given.


The family tree also states that George Washington "Wash" Vann was not married to Mary Vann Brummett when she gave birth to Martin L. Vann/Brummett, Wash's child. Mary was married to Wiley E. Brummett at some point. Her children all are listed as Brummetts in the 1880 census, from 11-year-old Nancy down to 2-year-old Charles Bowman Brummett. That includes 9-year-old Martin Luther Brummett, who is identified as a Vann in the family tree. However, there is no father in the household. (Mary is also shown as a Brummett.)

On his death certificate, Charles Bowman Brummett, the 2-year-old in the 1880 census, is shown as the son of Wash Brummett. (See his record for a copy.)

Wiley E. Brummett and Mary Polly Vann married in Anderson County in 1859. Per Ancestry: "When Wiley E Brummett was born in 1834 in Campbell County, Tennessee, his father, James, was 22 and his mother, Serelda, was 21. He married Mary "Polly" Vann on February 6, 1859, in Anderson County, Tennessee. They had seven children in 15 years. He died in 1862 in New River, Tennessee, at the age of 28."

In the quote above, there is a glaring error. They were married in 1859 and he died in 1862, yet they had 7 children in "15" years. This is an assumption made by Ancestry based on their marriage date and the date of the last child's birth as given in the family record (brummett family tree on Ancestry.com). More likely Mary's children were not Brummetts by blood but were probably the children of an unknown Vann, although John Parker Vann and George Washington "Wash" Vann have been identified as fathers. DNA testing could sort out this mystery.

1916 Per Ron Bartholowmew:

Willoiam Hibbs was a Baptist Minister and the first preacher of theRed Hill Baptist Church in Anderson Co., TN. He inhereited from hisparents the Clinch River farm which included framland on both sides ofthe river as well as two large islands in the river at the site of thepresent Norris Dam. He married, built his home, and raised his familyon this farm.

1917 Per Ronnie Bartholomew 02-2007: in the 1920 Anderson Co. TN, cernsus,widowed Frances was living with her step-son, Joe Mack Cox and hisfamily. In the 1930 Anderson Co. TN census, she was living with herstep daughter, Sarah Cox Grubb and her husband. She died at the homeof her step-son-in-law, George J. Copeland.

1. If Frances was his first wife, then they must have divorced inorder for
him to re-marry and have children by other wives, which would make the
children Frances' step children and would not make her a widow.

2. Frances was NOT his first wife, which would mean he could havechildren
by another wife prior to Frances. So when did he and Frances marry andwho
was his first wife?

3. Frances re-married and her new husband was named Cox and he hadchildren
before he married her, but he was deceased by the time of the 1920census.
If so, who was this second husband?

Stories from Mary Cox Kesterson, daughter of Elizabeth Foster Cox.
Uncle Wash took his family to Missouri in a coverd wagon. They got out there and John Brown sent him with horse and sled to get wood to burn.The wood was on the creek bank. The sled turned over, and they found him on the ice. He'd been drinking, had frozen into the ice. He was Sarah's boy, John, apparently went with them.

The snow would bank up 10 feet against the fence sometimes. John would run back and forth from the house to the barn so Jane could go to the barn to mind the cows in the barn. Janes's parents raised him.

Mary Cox didn't remember many of her cousins though she tried.

Uncle Lee's wife thought Mary was named after her and gave her a pretty piece of cloth one time with anchors on it. It was grey and red with white anchors.

Earnest was Salty Foster's father

Victor Foster was responsible for the family tree.

Joshua, brother of Jane, went to college in Middle Tennessee.

The clover threshers came and grandma said she wasn't gonna let them stay long. Jane told her "Jot may be begging (thumbing) his way through from Montana right now. You'd better let them stay." And she let them stay just because Mommy told her Jot might be on his way to come home.

jane Elizabeth married George Hudson. They had a son, Sam. Mary said of her brother: "Lord how I loved my brother. He was the greatest person in the world." "I'd go meet him at the store and he'd set me up on the counter and say "now what do you want?"." "Sunbeam Candy",I'd say. It was an oblong piece of candy wrapped up in paper tha looked like the sun--real pale, soft candy, and center, it was the only candy I loved."

Jane married (2) William Lincoln Cox. Sam's mother was married to a pruett at sometime or another. Daisy and Lizzie were Hudson's.Johnny and Fannie died before Mary was born.

Sam, Jane's brother, took Jane to parties when they were young. These were like barn dances. They'd dance togehter.

One of her brothers lived in East Fork valley and was bringing a bride in and there was a big snow on the ground. They were coming into Kingston and don't know, must have been coming on a boat. Momma and others went to meet them and her riding skirt was frozen plumb to her waist. They rode horses, whole wedding party, went to meet them. They got wet in the snow while riding. Could have been the one that married a Fox. Not sure.

About Uncle Wash: When I was 14, I spent the night with Uncle Wash--he was sick. They lived in East Fork Valley. Deal Bailey--Ruth and Granny went to see her in Oliver Springs and Ruth sneaked meat off her stove. If she knew Ruth had of been hungry, she'd given her something to eat off the table. There was a side ofbacon stacked up on a plate on the kitchen stove.

I can just see Uncle Lee (levi?) sitting in the holler when Paul was 3 or 4 (1924-1925)..He had a mustasche. We rode a buggy up there with a chestnut horse.

Bob's wife is one I was on the horse with and I fell off backwards, off the horse's end into the ground. I was 15. Was the last horse I ever rode. They hadn't been married long. It was when Uncle Wash was sick, he died after that.

Uncle Jot (Joshua B) went to college, possibly was a professor.

Cousin Lee moved to Andersonville.

Uncle Enoch worked in Branch at Coal Creek. Lost his mind. The bank went broke and he lost his mind.

Jane Foster Cox died in 1925

source for this child is 1870 US census. E.J. was not listed in 1860 census and may have been living elsewhere. At one time some of the Fosters went to Missouri to visit relatives or with the intent of living there. A male relative got drunk and fell off his horse in the creek and drowned, per Mary Cox Kesterson, daughter of Elizabeth Jane Foster Hudson Cox.

Cotula, Campbell County, was originally called Gatliff in honor of Dr. A. Gatliff, a physician of the locality. The name was changed to Cotula in 1908, when the railroad was built through the section. It is located near the central part of the county.

Jane and husband William Lincoln (Link) Cox and Mary were living in Cotula in 1910 when the census was taken. The census in 1910 still listed the area as Gatliff even if the name had been changed a few years earlier. Judy Spradlin. Census to support this is attached to William Lincoln Cox.

1945 Per Source:

Collins' History of Kentucky gives the following thrilling account of an adventure in the life of the sister, Hannah Woods:
"In the year 1784 or 1785, near the Crab Orchard, in Lincoln County, a very singular adventure occurred at the house of a Mr. Woods. One morning he left his family, consisting of a wife and a daughter, not yet grown, and a lame negro man, ae off to a station near by, not expecting to return till night. Mrs. Woods, being a short distance from her cabin, was alarmed by discovering several Indians advancing towards it. She instantly screamed loudly, in order to give the alarm, and ran with utmost speed,, in hope of reaching the house before them. In this she succeeded, but before she could close the door the foremost Indian had forced his way into the house He was instantly seized by the lame negro man and, after a shhort scuffle, they both fell with violence, the negro underneath. Mrs. Woods was to busily engaged in keeping the door shut against the party without to attend to the combatants, but the lame negro, holding the Indian tightly in his arms, called to the young girl to take the axe from under the bed and dispatch him by a blow to the head. She immediately attempted it, but the first attempt was a failure. She repeated the blow and killed him.
"The other Indians were at the door trying to force it open with their tomahawks. The negro rose and proposed to Mrs. Woods to let in another and they would soon dispose of the whole of them in the same manner.
"The cabin was but a short distance from the station, the occupants of which having discovered the perilous situation of the family, fired on the Indians and killed another, when the remainder made their escape."
 
Wallace, Hannah (I19542)
 
1946 Per Source:
John Wallace, the elder brother, was born in 1732 and lived six miles from Monticello, Virginia. He came from there to Kentucky in the spring of 1783, and stopped at Crab Orchard one year. From there he, with his wife, (whose name was Whorrre marriage), and children went to the north side of the Kentucky river and settled in Jessamine County, about ten miles from Lexington. His wife died there and was buried at Pisgah "Meeting House," In Woodford County. Their family consisted of seven children, viz: Hannah, Rosanna, Polly, John, Patsy, Thomas and Betsy. About the year 1800 he moved from Kentucky to Monroe, Ohio. In 1812, the family, under the leadership of the eldest brother, John, moved to Wayne County, Indiana, where John had entered land in the fall of 1811.
The family at that time consisted of the father, two sons, John and Thomas, and one daughter Betsy, all single. The war broke out, and being only two miles from the Indian boundary lines, they were in danger from Indian raids. The first surtsy was sent into the older settlement on what was called the East Fork of Whitewater, and lived in the family of a Mr. Hunt. The father lived until about the year 1820. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a soldier of the Revolutionary War. The powder horn carried by him through the war is now in the possession of his grandson, John Wallace.
 
Wallace, John (I19538)

1960 Per the 1900 US Census, Nancy E or Nancy L VanHuss Owens was born in Virginia in 1865. The census lists her as Nancy E but a researcher has suggested a change to Nancy L. Both her parents were born in Virginia. Nancy was a mother to 8 children, 4 of whom were living in 1900. (This indicates that four of her children died prior to 1900.) Her living children in 1900 were:

John S, 20
James L, 17
Olden C, 15
Mary M, 13




Nancy VanHuss is listed in the 1860 census as a 1-year-old child of William and Rebecca Van Huss, living in the household with William's mother, Elizabeth Van Huss. Also in the household is Elizabeth Trent (34), a widow and presumably also a daughter of Elizabeth VanHuss, and her children:


Finally, the household contains 12-year-old XXXXX, presumably the son of Elizabeth VanHuss.


A second Nancy VanHuss is living in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia, which is confusing to researchers. Details on this Nancy VanHuss are as follows:

In 1870, Nancy is 7 years old and living at home with her parents in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia. Their post office is listed as Jonesville. Her parents are William and Sarah VanHuss and there are six children in the household:
Mary M (16)
David (14)
Martha (13)
Rhoda (11)
Nancy (7)
William (2)
In this census, the senior William VanHuss gives his birthplace as Washington Co. VA. Sarah gives her birthplace as Smith Co., VA. All of the children were born in Lee County, VA. The census taker has made checks and "x" in some of the boxes under cannot read and write, etc. while leaving other boxes blank. It cannot be determined whether the VanHuss family is able to read or write, but none attended school.

Family trees on Ancestry.com show this Nancy VanHuss as married to an Eldridge and her mother's maiden name as Thomas

In 1880, Nancy VanHuss is 17, living with her parents in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia. Siblings still at home are Rhoda (19) and William (12). Parents William and Sarah are 50 and 52 respectively. The census shows William as "Working on Farm"m", his wife as housekeeper, daughter Rhoda "at home", and Nancy and her younger brother William as laborers. William's father was born in North Carolina, according to the census, and his mother in Virginia. Both of Sarah's parents were born in Virginia. Their three children were born in Virginia. Note the discrepancy in Rhoda's age in 1880 vs 1870.

No additional details will be included about this Nancy VanHuss, who is likely a cousin to our Nancy VanHuss since both live in Rosehill, Lee County, VA.



In 1880, Charles and Nancy VanHuss Owens are living in Rose Hill, Lee County, Virginia. They have been married four years and the census list two children as Sarah (2) and John (1 month). In the same neighborhood is Andrew VanHuss, his wife Martha and two children (Martin and Jasper). His birthdate is listed in 1862 and is most likely a brother or cousin of Nancy VanHuss.

Noble moved from his native Clarksville, Arkansas, with his parents, Herman and Maude (Hammack) Jackson, and brother, Clarence, to Coalfield, Tennessee (where his father had been born), in February 1934.* He married his first wife, Edith Geneva Rogers, on May 16, 1936, in Morgan County, Tennessee, where they lived until their move to Arkansas by the end of 1942. That same year, Noble and his father went to Tacoma, Washington, for employment in the shipyards and were eventually joined by their wives and the three grandchildren (this locale became stationary for the remainder of World War II). After Noble and Edith's divorce in Washington during the mid 1940s, he married his second and last wife, Gladys Beatrice "Bea" (Dunham) Moore, on April 5, 1946, in Pierce County, Washington (they were residents of Puyallup when they married).

Betty, I've not kept up to date on the anderson co. line but I didnotice
your John W. Wallace. In the book Tennessee 200 "History of AndersonCo.,
1796-1996 on pg.466 there is a story about J.K.P. Wallace, & more onpg.
467 and on page 469 a story of Rutherford Baxter Wallace. It states
Wallace's g.g. grandfather was John Wallace who came to Anderson Co.,in
1803 having just married a Virginia girl and he fought in the Rev.War. He
would begin a long line of promimnent Wallaces in the county.There are3
picture's and Wallace Crossroads was once Andersonville. I don't evenknow
if this will help you but hope so. Phyllis

He is the son of Samuel Robbins Wallace and Amelia (Millie) A. Adkins.
Do you think this is who you are looking for?

In Reply to: Carroll WALLACE -Born 1852 prob. in Tennessee by CharlesKemp of 9507

Dear Charles;

From my own, Mrs. Virgil Keith's, Mrs. Mildred Bailey's and Mrs. RuthLamar Petracek's documented research (we all come out of this family):

Samuel Carroll Wallace son of Joseph Franklin Miller Wallace (aka"Mint" Wallace--see below) and (2nd) wife Eliza Jane Kirkpatrick wasborn in 1854 in Nodaway County, Missouri. He married Jennie MalindaDavis. He died in 1911. Jennie's dates are: 1856-1919. Both are buriedin a cemetery in Clearmont, Nodaway County, MO.

I see you have inquiries about Brice, Pharoah, etc. also.

Brice was born in 1849 Nodaway County, MO d. 1922. Married March 31,1869 to Ona Adkins (1850-1912). He was on the 1880 census in HenryCounty, MO.

Pharoah Wallace was born 1846, either Anderson County, TN or NodawayCounty, TN (there are conflicting reports as to when the family movedand if it did so in stages). He married Rachel Serelda Rutherford andmoved back to Tennessee. He died Octobeber 27, 1935. I'd have to doublecheck my files, but I believe he's buried in the old family cemeterythat's ringed with 3 barbed wire fences (and no gate) and overgrownwith white roses (old Jacobite rose) at the juncture of old Longmireand Wallace properties, east of Clinton, Tennessee. I know Mercelliusis buried there. Mercellius was born in 1861, Nodaway County, MO,returned to Tennessee and married Sarah Loy.

Alexander Wallace was born in 1863,in Nodaway County, MO married RosaEdwards, and in the 1970's descendants of his still lived in and nearMarysville, Nodaway County, MO.

William Wallace was born December 5, 1858, Nodaway County, andreturned to Tennessee. He died September 30, 1926. He was married to(1) Sarah Longmire, November 15, 1877 and then to (2) Arizona Graham.Grahams and Wallaces have earlier marriage connections also inVirginia.

Enoch was born in 1853, Nodaway County, MO, also returned toTennessee. He was married 3x (1) ____Irwin; (2)____ Loy; (3) Parlie(or Pearlie) Sharp. He died February 21, 1918 in the influenzaepidemic.

Joseph Franklin Miller Wallace, nicknamed "Mint" was born inApril,1792 (the year and month the Franklin Mint (now just called thePhiladelphia Mint) opened--for which the people in Ohio, Kentucky andTennessee had lobbied for a long time). Joseph's first wife was AmeliaVirginia Landrum b. 1795, SC, whom he married November 9, 1818 inAnderson County, TN. Amelia was a daughter of Thomas Landrum (b. 1771SC) and Lydia or Lydia Mary Aldridge (b. 1776 SC). Amelia died in 1840in childbirth. There were 9 children by the first marriage. Josephthen married Eliza Jane Kirkpatrick, November 6, 1841, AndersonCounty, TN. She was born September 27, 1819 in Anderson County, TN.I'm pretty sure I have the name of at least Eliza's father, but I'mgoing to have to dig through a thick file for it. Joseph died in 1871in Nodaway County, Missouri and is buried at the old Lamar Cemetery(more correctly called Lamar-Wallace), there, near what used to be thevillage town of Lamar Junction (aka "Possum Walk") (just a few strayhouses and ruins of a couple of house and buildings, now).

Joseph was the third son of John Wallace b. 1748 in Augusta (nowRockbridge) County, VA and wife (1) Jane Miller. John Wallace died onApril 8, 1832 in Hendrick County, Indiana, where he had settled withhis second wife Rebecca Norton and his younggest children. He was aRevolutionary War veteran (an officer--Ensign, which is now 2ndLieut.), had served in the frontier militia and the Continental Army,was at Yorktown. He is buried in the old Walnut Grove (aka Snoddy)Cemetery. He married Jane Miller May 11, 1780 in Greenbrier County, VA(now WVA)--marriage performed by Rev. John Alderson. Jane was struckby lightning and killed by it in the late spring of 1819 in AndersonCounty, TN, and John married Rebecca September 7, 1821 in AndersonCounty. There is some evidence (not fully proved yet) that Jane Millerwas the youngest daughter of a John Miller (there were at least 3 thatwere contemporary) and his wife Jane Delaney. We're still trying tofind wills for all the possible John Millers, or other evidence thatabsolutely proves her parentage.

John Wallace was the 3rd son of Peter Wallace and Martha Woods--afirst cousin of Peter's. Peter was born in the disputed border area ofPennsylvania and Maryland, probably actually Cecil County, MD in 1717.He was the youngest son (or child) of _SSamuel_ Wallace and ElizabethWoods. _There is absolutely _no_ Peter Wallace Sr. in this direct linedown through Peter Wallace and Elizabeth Woods! The George SeldenWallace book and McAfee Woods Memorial books are dead wrong. Theydidn't check this out thoroughly enough and didn't understand,research and appreciate the lawsuit records in Augusta County or thenaming tradition used by this family and nearly 90% of all Scots,Welsh, Scots-Irish and English families at this time. Also the birthyear of 1719 is wrong. Crown laws and church traditions for all majorchurches required both parties to be at least 21 when married. It wasa 50 pound bond refundable under normal circumstances to marry, and a100 pound _fine_ (darned near a year's average income) andnullification and loss of clerical license for marriages with underageparties. This was not cheap--therefore there were very few violationsof the law. Peter Wallace and Martha Woods were married in 1739 inCecil County, Maryland. Peter died and left a will in RockbridgeCounty, VA in 1784. John was the principal executor, as the onlysurviving and healthy son after the Revolution. (His oldest brother,_Samuel_ had been wounded and died in 1785.)

There has long been a tradition that Samuel Wallace (so often wronglynamed Peter Sr.), Peter's father had either died at sea or just afterhis last trip bringing the family to America, which was just afterPeter was born. There are records of one Samuel Wallace who isprobably (not yet fully proved) the father of Peter and his oldersiblings. This Samuel was an owner of one or more ships and a merchantwho transported people and goods both ways between Newcastle,Charleston and Glasgow, annd Northern Ireland. There are severalrecords of voyages in which he was on various ships (one at least 3times, though) and going back and forth between about 1710 and 1725.His last recorded voyage is about 1725. He was listed as havingbrought an unnamed wife and unnamed children on a voyage, in I thinkit was, 1720 (I'd have to double check my thick files again.) This isconsistent with a very large number of family tradition stories goingback to the late 1700's. Thus this merchant is probably--but notabsolutely certainly--the father of Peter Wallace and several oldersiblings. Note: according to Scottish records, most Wallace familymerchants from Glasgow were descendants of younger sons of the Earlsof Craigie and the cadet hououses of Ellerslie, Cairnhill, etc..--whichis how they had the money to go into the mercantile businesses and hadconnections to make it generally a success. There are Wallacedescendants now in the Netherlands whose ancestry has been there forover 300 years because of this family tradition. This is probably why,Adam Wallace, an older brother of Peter went to sea under AdmiralVernon and died at the siege of Cartagena (Colombia) in 1738. His willis in Lancaster County, PA--but the index was found in Cecil County,MD. (This was part of the famous Mason-Dixon border dispute, provokedby the Penn family.)

Finally, Martha Woods was a daughter of _Samuel Woods_ (notMichael--as per Augusta County, VA records) and Elizabeth Campbell(sister of Michael Woods' wife, Mary) as per James Campbell, 3rd Baronof Auchinbreck's 1752 will and Augusta County records. Michael Woodsand Samuel Woods were brothers to each other and to Elizabeth Woods,Peter Wallace's mother. Mary and Elizabeth were sisters to each otherand sisters to James, William, Gilbert and Alexander Campbell who allemigrated and eventually settled in Augusta and Albemarle Counties, VAon both the Borden and Beverly Grants (and had received a few in theirown names from the Earl of Gooch, then Governor of Virginia). Theywere also sisters to Susannah who married a Stuart and of the Stuartline that also settled in the same area.

Michael, Samuel, James, William, Andrew, etc. Woods were the childrenof Sir John Woods and his wife--and cousin--Elizabeth Woods. ElizabethWoods was the oldest (possibly only) daughter--there were no sons--ofSir Thomas Woods and his wife, Elizabeth Parsons, who ownedDunshaughlin Castle (spoils of Cromwell's campaign in which Thomas andother Woods served). Elizabeth Woods was the heiress of Dunshaughlinand brought it to her husband--and cousin--to keep valuable propertyin the family. There were at least two other contemporary John Woods,and a John Woods about one generation later.

One contemporary John Woods was an innkeeper (owner) of an inn inDunshaughlin and a small farm. This appears to be the one who was thefather of the John Woods who married Elizabeth Worsop. That John Woods(who married Elizabeth Worsop) married afafter 1695. He and ElizabethWorsop had _NO_ children--as proved by their own two wills in Ireland.Her father's will and a later letter from her brother in Irishrecords, prove she was an unmarried young girl in the early 1690's.She and her husband ended up leaving their property to a nephew by oneof his sisters, who ended up changing his surname to Woods to inherit.

Another John Woods married an Anne Bedlow and had children at Rossmeadin Westmeath. This is apparently a cousin of our John, probably theson of a brother of John's father. There were at least 4 recordedWoods in Cromwell's campaign, closely related as they were all fromnear Halifax in Yorkshire. They all acquired lands in Ireland fortheir services. Our John had Dunshaughlin, Winter Lodge (both inMeath) and the descendants of his oldest son, acquired Milverton Hallat Skerries, on the coaoast between Dublin and Drogheda. Descendantslive there to this day. Dunshaughlin Castle is now a ruin. It washeavily damaged in the late 1800's and early 1900's. DunshaughlinCastle, County Meath, is identified as the birth place of MichaelWoods, his brothers and sisters, and some of their children, in atleast 4 Bible records set down by Michael's and his siblings children.Therefore this is consistent with the McClenaghan compilation andtranscription (he was Parish rector in the very early 1900's forDunshaughlin Parish) of original parish and family records that theWoods siblings who settled in Virginia in the 1730's and early 1740'swere the children of Sir John Woods and Elizabeth Woods-Woods ofDunshaughlin Castle.

Please feel free to forward this as often as you would like. There arefar too many Wallaces and Woods Wallaces who are uploading to FamilyTree Maker and the forums the same two large bits of very erroneousinformation on the early Wallaces and Woods. The result is that thecirculation of these errors keeps growing, and too few people aredoing any serious research any further on these lines. It's getting tobe as bad as the old myth that the Christopher Columbus who discoveredAmerica was the poor illiterate son of Genoese, Italian weaver, whenall the records and serious research say he was a Catalan Spaniardfrom Barcelona--the wrong side of the blanket of a noble family with amercantile sideline.

1985 Poem Found by Naomi Williams, Descendant of Horatio Sharp:

The old farmer knocked at the Heavenly Gate
His face was scarred and old,
He stood before the man of fate for
Admission to the fold.

"What have you done?" St. Peter asked
"To gain admission here?"
"I have farmed the Wabash Bottoms, Sir,
for many and many a year."

The Pearly Gates swung open wide--
St. Peter touched the bell.
"Come in and choose your harp," he said,
"You've had your share of hell."
