Notes:

Someone in the Cox side of the family, believed to be William Lincoln's mother's parents or grandparents, lived in Bear Creek Valley where the woman and the baby in her womb were killed by a bear. Per Mary, the woman was sitting at a spinning wheel with her back to the door and her husband and obviously some other children were away. The bear came inside the cabin and killed her and ripped the baby from her belly.

She was reportedly a Cherokee Indian, he was -------- Farmer.

William Lincoln Cox married Jane S. or Jane Elizabeth Foster Hudson. She had children by her first marriage.

In the 1880 census William Lincoln Cox and his siblings were all living at home in the 15th district of Roane County. Their father Martin (incorrectly identified as Marlon in Ancestry.com) was identified as a farmer while occupations of his offspring, ages 18 and under, were not listed.

Next door to them was Mary Cox, age 70, her daughter Catherine, age 26, Catherine's daughter and son, Anna E, 9, and Charley, 2. Catherine's surname is given as Cox as is her children's, but she is identified as a daughter to Mary Cox. There is no identity of a father for Catherine's children in the census record.

Notes:

A tape recorded conversation with Mary Kesterson by her granddaughter,Judy. Date unknown, but probably in early 1980s.

Mary's grandmother and grandfather were Joshua Foster and ParleyUnderwood Foster. Parley possibly died the summer before Mary wasborn in September.

Levi was called Uncle Lee and was Jane Elizabeth Foster's brother.Jane Elizabeth or Elizabeth Jane Foster was Mary's mother.

George Washingon Foster was called Uncle Wash.

Fred and John

Uncle Wash took his family to Missouri in a covered wagon. They gotthere and John Brown sent him with horse and sled to get wood to burn.The wood was on a creekbank. The sled turned over and they found himon the ice. He had been drinking and had frozen into the ice.Sarah's boy, John, apparently went with them.

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

Mary remembers her mother telling stories of her childhood inMissouri. It is possible that Elizabeth Jane Foster lived in Missourifor awhile.

Mary doesn't remember many of her cousins.
Uncle Lee's wife thought Mary Kesterson was named after her and gaveMary a pretty piece of cloth one time with anchors in it. It was greyand red with white ahcnors.

Ernest, son of Levi Foster, was the father of A.B. "Salty" Foster.Salty was Mayor of Harriman for several terms and died in 1982.Another of his children, Victor Foster, was responsible for the familytree through 1800 and Enoch Foster.

Joshua, brother of Jane, went to college in Middle Tennessee. Maryis not sure he graduated, but he was called the "professor". Theclover threshers came and grandma (Jane's mother) said she wasn'tgoing to let them stay long. Jane told her Jot may be begging(thumbing?) his way through from MT right now,"you'd better let them stay". And She let them stay just becauseMommy told her Jot might be on his way to come home.

Jane Elizabeth married George Hudson (1) had Sam. "Lord how I lovedmy 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 'Nowwhat do you want?'" "Sunbeam Candy" It was an oblong piece of candy"wrapped up in paper that looked like the sun, real pale, soft candy,hard center, only candy I loved"

Jane married (2) William Lincoln (Link) Cox. Samuel WhetsonKesterson's mother was married to a Pruitt at sometime or another.
Daisy and Lizzie were Hudson's
Johnny and Fanny died before Mary was born

Sam, Jane's brother, took Jane to parties when they were young, suchas barn dances and socials. They enjoyed dancing very much.

One of her brothers lived in East Fork Valley and was bringing a bridein (home) and there was a big snow on the ground. They were cominginto Kingston (via ferry?) and I don't know, must have been coming ona boat. Momma and others went to meet them and her riding skirt wasfrozen plumb to her waist. They rode horses, the whole wedding partywent to meet them. They got wet in the snow while riding. Could havebeen the one that married a Fox.

Uncle Wash. When I was 14, I spent the night with Uncle Wash. He wassick. They lived in East Fork Valley. Mary and her mother went tothe home as was customary when someone was dying.

Deal Bailey - Ruth and Granny went to seen them in Oliver Springs andRuth sneaked meat off her stove. If she hand known Ruth had of been(was) hungery, she'd given her something off the table. side of bacon stacked up on a plate on the kitchen stove.

"I can just see Uncle Lee sitting in the holler when Paul was 3or 4 (1924-1925). Lee had a mustasche. We rode a buggy up there witha cheastnut hourse."

"Bob's wife is one I was on the horse with and I fell off backwards,off the horse's end onto the ground. I was 14. It was the last horseI ever rode. They hadn't been married long. It was when Uncle Washwas sick. He died after that.

Uncle Jot went to college and possibly was a professor

Cousin Lee moved to Andersonville.

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

Jane (Mommy) died in 1925

Mary's great grandmother was a cherokee indian and her grandfather wasa "Farmer". They lived in bear creek valley where she and a baby waskilled by a bear. Granny said her grandparents were Fanny and MartinCox and that Fanny lived to be 106. Her great grandmother was acherokee indian and great grandfather was ??? farmer. Fanny andMartin had a daughter, Kate, and sons Will and Tom.

Her mother's parents were Joshua Foster and Parley Foster Underwood
Her mother was Elizabeth Jane Foster, born in East Fork Velley anddied at her sister's house at Morley" and William Cox, a miner. Shewas buried in White Oak graveyard above Westburn, above Catula, AboveLafollette. William was buried around Peabody.

Grandma and Grandpa Cox were Fanny and Martin Cox. Fannie waspossibly a Farmer and lived to be 106 per Mary. Fanny also had adaughter named Kate.

Mary thought she remembered her mother telling her that her mother'sparents, Joshua and Parley Foster, owned slaves

Mary Cox Kesterson talked about her wedding day to her granddaughterJudy. Mary said it was her first time to wear nylons. Sam mailed herwedding ring to her. Sam's mother wouldn't let them get married soSam hoboed on a train to Montana. Later he mailed the wedding ring andcame home to marry his love (His sister was there at the time.) Sherode in a taxi to the wedding. Mary said Sam's sister stole herbrother Sam whom she loved better than anything. Mary told her newsister-in-law, Minnie Dunn, that since she stole Mary's brother, Marywas going to steal HER brother.

Sam used to play hopscotch with Mary and she told him she was going tomarry him.

Mary once said to Judy, her granddaughter, that Sam Kesterson's (Dunn)mother was hateful, that she had a heavy burden to bear. Mary wouldnot discuss that burden.

Mary said that if she had her life to live over and could be anythingshe wanted to, she would be a detective!

Her memory of when one of her children was born was that they wereplanting sweet potato slips after the baby was born. Mary would go tothe house to breastfeed the baby and would cool her wrists with waterand feed the baby and go back to helping Sam plant sweet potatoes.

Mary Cox had only a 4th grade education. She was often sick with asore throat and would miss so much school that she fell behind.

Mary's mother knitted her a pair of stockings that Mary absolutelyhated. Mary would leave the house wearing them, stop at a rock andtake them off and hide them under the rock and put them on again whenshe came home from school. This might have contributed to herfrequent sore throats!!!

******************************************************************************
Mary Cox met Samuel Whetson Kesterson when Mary's brother marriedSam's sister. Mary was only 5 years old when her brother married andleft home. This is how Mary told her granddaughter, Judy Kesterson,about her brother and husband in an interview in the late 1970s.

"I told Minnie I didn't like her taking my brother away from me. Shetold me, "I've got a brother, his name is Sam." I told her, "Thatbrother ofyours will be my man someday."

Minnie went on to change the spelling of her name to Hutson fromHudson because of a neighbor with a similar name, according to Mary.Minnie and Sam Hutson lived with Elizabeth and Will Cox (Mary'sparents) for a few years after they were marriedd. When they moved outon their own, they moved to Westburn and Mary would visit with themoccasionally. It was during one of the visits, whehn Mary was 13,that she first met Minnie's brother, Sam. Sam was 15 when they metand was boarding at his sister's home while he worked in the mines.

According to Mary, she and Sam became good friends, seeing each otherevery day. Sam played in Mary's playhouse and made hopscotch squaresfor her. Mary recalled that the two of them wore out their shoeskicking a block back and forth on the hopscotch board.

Mary said that their friendship developed into a courtship eventuallyand they made plans to marry. Neither of the parents wanted them tomarry. Mary told Judy that she thought her mother's main reason foropposing the marriage was her mother's fear of being left with no oneto do the housework. "She liked to have went crazy after I left,"Mary said.

According to Mary, Sam's family was alos opposed tot he marriage. Samwas upset and sold some property he owned (no documentation for this)and left for Melstone or Milestone Montana, where his sister Cora wasliving at the time.

Mary said Sam hopped a freight train, hobo style, although he had themoney for a ticket. He told her later that the freight train carriedlumber and he got splinters in his backside from riding on top of thelumber.

Sam corresponded with Mary and eventually sent her a wedding ring byregistered letter. Mary said it was a pink gold band. He also senther a pair of yellow gold earrings.

Sam stayed in Montana 2 years and 3 months. Mary said that when hereturned to Tennessee, they went ahead with their wedding plans.

He returned and they were married on November 16, 1916, at Sam'ssister's home (Ethel) in Clinton, TN. Thye man who married him wasJudge Wallace, a distant relative of Mary's through her mother.

Notes:

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.

Notes:

1/19/05: Jesse told the story of his parents passing each other inCoalfield on the curve where the main road through Coalfield curvessharply north towards Highway 62, just past the local grocery store.One of the cars went into the ditch and one of his parents helped pushthe car out of the ditch without realizing the other parent was in theother car. They were married at the time.

Jesse gave Judy a songbook from prior to 1900 that was words only, nomusic. There were dirty fingerprints on some of the pages. Thefingerprints belonged to William Lincoln Cox. Dad took the songbookto church and sang from it one night prior to giving it to Judy. Hegave the book to Judy after Mary's death. Link (William Lincoln)worked in the mines in Prudential Hollow, which no longer exist, inCoalfield. The mines were located to the north of Highway 62 acrossfrom Big Mountain Bapptist Church. In the 1950s and 1960s, a bus ranfrom Coalfield School into Prudential carrying students. As the busdrove up to the school to pick up the afternoon students, somone wouldyell "Prudential Holler" in a singsong voice so everyone who rode thebus would know to line up to board.

When Jesse and June McGlothin were courting, Jesse used to walk acrossMiddleridge, through Judy's current property, to the McGlothins. Theywould sit in the porch swing and Jesse would walk back home throughthe woods across Middleridge. Jesse said one night it was very, verydark. He heard a noise just about the time he nearly stepped on oneof the cows. Jesse seemed to think it was worth walking through thedark!!

Jesse and June went on a picnic with Faye and Ab Jones up WindrockMountain. While there, they decided to get married.

Jesse asked Harvey McGlothin if he (Jesse) could marry June. Harveytold Jesse that he, Harvey, had never found a reason to hit one of hiswives and if Jesse found he had to do that, to bring June back home.Jesse never took June back.

Jesse and Judy once wondered aloud why May and Harvey McGlothin wouldallow their daughters, June and Madge, to marry so young--before theyfinished high school. In later years it became obvious. Each ofHarvey McGlothin's 5 children became illl and were cared for with greatlove and devotion by their spouses. We like to think that Harveyrecognized that Jesse and Bob Jones, Madge's husband, were of suchquality that to marry young would be no hindrance to their daughter'sfuture, rather a treasure worth grasping.

Jesse worked 4 weeks at the Brick Plant in Oliver Springs. There werehuge mounded ovens that the bricks were loaded into. When they hadsufficiently fired, they came out of the ovens. Jesse's job was toload the finished bricks onto a type of wheelbarrow and stack themaway from the ovens. After Jessee had worked there 4 weeks, theGeneral Shale Company decided to shut down the Oliver Springs BrickPlant because it wasn't profitable.

Jesse remembers visiting with Masten Hill. He used to walk throughthe woods with Masten and it was Masten who taught Jesse how to findjust the right hickory tree to cut and cure for the canes Jesse hasmade and shared over the years. Jesse uses one of those canes today.11-03-06.

Jesse also remembers Johnny Joyner visiting with them. Many times theonly Christmas presents were those Johnny and Stella brought to Sam'schildren.

All boy, Jesse managed to escape a whipping three times when he wasplaying with fire and shouldn't have been. On one occasion he set thewoods on fire. He took a bus to Grace's and left the woods to burn.Fortunately they didn't burn long! Once he set the wallpaper on fireat their house. Today he realizes how lucky they were that theydidn't lose their house.

Jesse helped his father build a barn when they moved to Coalfield.The barn stood in the middle of the driveway now going up to hisdaughter Judy's house. Judy took photos of the barn before it wastorn down.

Jesse also helped his father build a house in Coalfield. The housestands today and on what is now known as Jackson Lane. Sam and Marymoved in 1954 to Harriman. The house has had a number of owners, butstands essentially as it was built.
