REBECCA LILES vs HENRY LILES: Rebecca Liles says about the year 1844her father, Robert Liles who was very aged and blind and a citizen ofRoane County, was the owner of 200 acres of land. He made anagreement with his grandson, Henry Liles, Jr. to convey this land onthe condition that Henry would provide for the support of said Robertduring his life and make certain advances to your oratrix, and idiotsister of your oratrix named Delilah, a granddaughter named Nancy, anda bound coloured girl named Julia?..After a while, Henry & Robertdisagreed and Henry moved out.

"P. McDonald" wrote:
I am pasting in my latest theory on descendants of Robert Liles ofRoane. The only ones I can document are Rebecca, Delila the idiotand Thomas--so it is basically a list of Liles marriages and mentionsthat seem like people we don't want to rule out yet.

Court documents mention a grandson Henry Junior, which I think mustsurely be the son of Thomas--called Junior in deference to his uncle.Also mentions a granddaughter, Nancy, and a bound colored girl namedJulia. I can't place little Nancy. But a Nancy Liles m. Allen Cookin 09 Jan 1844, so it was probably the granddaughter. I have notpersued this line.

Corrections and additions invited. Comments about my senility andcreative thinking you can say to each other.

Chester, glad you identified the Roberts guy who married Clint'sdaughter. He is distant kin to me, of course.

I don't subscribe to the Coalfield newsletter anymore, but I wouldlove to see a copy of what you write for them.

I will defer to Alexis on the Hacker heritage. I don't have anydocumentation on that.

As to Major Lindsey, I think we have already exchanged our comments onhim, and although I have to respect the family lore that says he ishalf brother to Clint, I cannot find any public records that wouldconfirm (or deny) this. Snyder also had this problem.

If only we could find Rebecca's listing in 1850 census, it might clearup the matter, as well as have a listing for Sarah who m. DavidMcCormick.

In 1860, Rebecca has in her household a Liles male named William, whois 16, while Abner C. is 14. I have not been able to figure out anymore about that William, born ca 1844. As you recall, she wascharged with having a bastard child born on 23rd day of February 1843in Roane Co., so that is probably the William. No further record ofhim.

Although his name COULD have been William Lindsey, or even MajorWilliam Lindsey, the age is not close enough to fit. The 1880 censusindicates "Mager Liles" was 48, making him born ca 1832. I hopesomebody will undertake the project of looking up his records again,but I am pretty sure others have tried in the past.

As to the photograph "not being worth anything" if copied I throw upmy hands. All the sensible, or even smart alec type of comments thatoccur to me seem useless. However, if a photo was made at some point,there may be other copies floating around that will eventually show u

Do you know who the father was of Abner Clint Liles, who served in theCivil War? He's on the 1860 census with a female head of family thatlooks like it might be Rebecca (but very unclear). Other children wereWilliam, age 16, and Rebecca F., age 12. All living next to HenryLiles (Robert Sr.'s grandson). I've looked at all of the earliercensuses and at the 1890 veterans' list, but I cannot find out who hisfather was. He's buried in the Elverton Cemetery

Ah, so! My, my, what an interesting family! So, Rebecca who had A.C.,etc., was born a LILES?? Whose daughter was she? I have an 1848cohabitation verdict of the grand jury for William Liles and ElisabethMcdonell. This would have been William, son of Thomas, right? (Wholater married his "ward," Mariah Sieber, who said she'd never beenmarried before, but it looked like she had at least two children bysomeone else!). This is getting interesting!

Old Robert also had another daughter who had a couple of sons out ofwedlock and I have something on that too. These should account forthe children in the early census. I was unaware of this other Williamby Rebecca until Chester Spaulding, a descendent of A.

Well Hello, Chester,
I've waited for some time to hear from someone about Clint Lyles.What I know about Major Lindsay Lyles is this: He served in the CivilWar, Union Infantry 5th Reg, Pvt. Major was his name, not his rank.He had 8 children. Major was said to be a son of Rebecca Liles. Hewas born 8/23/1836. He was supposed to be the half brother of ClintLyles. I have no proof of this, however, so however you can, PLEASEHELP! Major had a son, James A. Lyles (grandpa), who in turn had ason named Eugugene (dad). You may remember my uncle Vane, who was awhiz with lawn mowers. I live in Florida right now, but will berelocating in Tn. in a couple of months. I have heard of Billl Lyles,but never gotten the chance to meet him. I have heard he probablyknows more than anyone else. Have some pics of theLyles/Solomon/Davis sides. If I can help, please let me know.Someone in the family has heirlooms and picturess thathe won't letanyone in the family see them. He says if I copy the photos therewill be copies cirulating and they won't be worth anything later.
Thanks, Kathy
---------------------------------------
Kathy: I can send you a scan of the family tree in a Bible owned bymy grandmother (granddaughter of Clint). She wrote Clint and Majorwere 1/2 brothers. Other than that, I?ve never seen anything else onpaper to back it up. Apparently she didn't know the given name ofClint and Major's mother, or anything earlier. But there is plenty ofdocumentation to prove Clint is Rebecca's son. Yes, I knew both Gene& Vane Lyles. I sold a car to Gene once, and usually I had to callVane about every other year to fix something. I always heard ClintLiles was a "man about town" and from records, he had at least threesons, which were unaccounted for. They may have died as children.Clint also had an illegitimate son who WAS accounted for and went byJackson. As for Major Lindsay, I?ve never heard anything negativeabout him. A.C. and Major had a sister (or half sister?), Rebecca F.Liles, who took after her mother. Rebecca F. married Sterling Ward.My great aunt, who's in her mid-90, says Rebecca F dropped off herson, Horace Ward, at her brother Clint's one weekend and neverreturned. People thought Horace was Clint's son, but he was actuallya nephew. You may aleady know that Horace Ward married his own firstcousin, Flora Lyles, daughter of M. L.

Another thing, Major's second wife, Elizabeth Allen was agranddaughter of Joseph Hicks. Elizabeth Allen was the daughter ofPolly Hicks and James W. Allen. Polly Hicks is Joseph's daughter.Polly's father, James W. Allen, died at the Andersonvillle Prison in GAduring the C.W. He was my gg grandfather. Elizabeth Allen's sister,Mary Founty Allen, married Joseph Miller Jones, who was my ggrandfather. I have several photos of Miller and Mary Jones. You cansee the Indian features in Mary F. Allen Jones and her brother, GeorgeAllen. There is a fellow here in Coalfield (I was told) who says hehas a photo of Joseph Hicks and won't let anyone see it. I don'treally believe that tale. BTW, I bet I know who is hoarding all thephotos you're talking about, and it's not the same person I mentionedwith the Hicks photo. Most of the time, stuff ends up in the hands ofpeople like that.

When you get back to TN, if you visit some of the courthouses andlibraries, let me warn you-- the technology is sometimes awful. Mostof the librarians are friendly and try to help, but they're limited.There might be plenty of material available, but maybe their Xeroxmachine will be broken. They may have a scanner hooked to an onlinecomputer that you could email copies to yourself or print from thecomputer printer, and they won't know how to do it. If you ask to doit yourself, they might act like you're trying to set them up or pulla fast one on them. They may have a filing cabinet full of microfilm,and the microfilm reader itself is broken, or the printer on themicrofilm reader is broken. If the microfilm reader and printer arein operating order, don't be surprised to hear, "Well, I don't knowhow to do it myself, and you're not authorized, so you'll have to comeback some day when so and so is on duty." They have a tendency inthese rural counties sometimes to hire people working for nothing orhave been around so long they don't care. If there is a rechargeable,battery-operated scanner/copier on the market, it would be a wiseinvestment. I don't think they make batteries capable of operatingsuch a device.........Hope I helped, Chester

From Pat Roberts McDonald:

I have been messing with the LYLES and LILES folks again. They areworse than the SILVEY as far as figuring them out. I came across the1880 Morgan County Census, where Sarah McCormick and kids have RebeccaLiles MOTHER in the household. And since there is a marriage forSarah Liles for David McCormack in 1852, I think this might be thefamily below.

I am not sure where I got this info? Was it you, Mary Lou?

Anyway, it is one more big knot in the hairball of old Roane Co.families. Robbie Roberts is of my line, and he had two siblings whomar HESTERS -- children of Abner Hester and Mary Brashears. TheHOWARD family is tied to the SILVEYS. I don't know who Newton Lilesis, but he's in the big middle of it all.

Can you add anything to this proposed tree? I REALLY need to findRebecca Liles in 1850. she must be in Morgan County, which I don'thave access to at home. Sarah should be in her household. Rebecca isback in Roane in 1860, and David and Sally McCormick are in Roane,next door to father, John.

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."
