Prepared in 1998 by Patricia Wilson Spradley, keeping original page numbers
and paragraphs in order as originally published.
More than half of Cannon County lies in the Central Basin, and the remainder
on the Highland Rim. Spurs shoot out from the highlands, forming numerous
valleys, through which course mountain streams, giving the county probably as
much varied and picturesque scenery as any in the State. The soils on the
highlands are light colored, and are for the most part thin and unproductive,
save of a rank, barren grass which affords good summer grazing. Fruits and
tobacco will also grow, in the highland soils. The knobs of the Central basin
are usually fertile to the top, but limestone crops out in such abundance as
to render much of the surface unfit for cultivation. In the basin, however, is
found the valuable farm lands of the county. The soil is rich, loamy and
pebbly, easily worked and highly productive. Bluegrass grows spontaneously and
luxuriantly on the slopes and tops of the hills, and even in the glades,
furnishing rich pasturage. The crops of the county are corn, wheat, hay,
clover, tobacco and the grasses, while the timber embraces species of oak,
ash, poplar, walnut, hickory, chestnut, gum, maple, beech, buckeye, cherry and
elm.
Stone River traverses the county from the east to the west, receiving the
waters of numerous tributaries, and is the principal water course of the
county. Other streams are Rockhouse, Carpenter, Rush, Lock, Hill, Hollis and
Brawley Creeks, all emptying into the Stone River, Carson Fork, emptying into
Brawley Creek, and Barren Fork of Collins River, Clear Fork, Sycamore,
Hurricane, Saunders and Marshall Creeks.
The country now embraced in Cannon County was settled as early as 1807 and
1809, though it then belonged to several other counties in part. The early
settlers were chiefly North Carolinians, who, however, came here from East
Tennessee, to which section they had previously immigrated in quest of homes,
but pushed on over the mountains as Middle Tennessee opened up for settlement.
Among the settlers living here in 1836, when Cannon County was organized, were
Henry D. McBroom, John Wood, James and Edmond Taylor, Wm. Hollis, Noel Lilly,
Isham Cherry, Alexander Hill, Phillip Rough, Phillip Hoas, Henry Ford,
Benjamin Allen, Usibid Stone, George St. John, Wm. Mears, Melchesedec Self,
Joseph Harrison, Samuel Lewis, Wm. Middleton, James and John Barkley, Richard

James Ferrell, Archibald Stone, J.G.W. Rose, Joseph Clark, Asa Smith, Elijah
Stephens, James M. Brown, John Wright, Pumphry Bynum, Charles Espy, Wm.
Preston, Sr., Walter Wood, Benjamin Cummings, Sr., Warren Cummings, Wm.

James, James Miles, Alexander McBroom, Kit and Wm. Pyburn, Cullin Corlee,
Edmond Sutton, William, James and John Wood, Nathan Finley, Jesse and James
Todd, Robert Carson, Jonathan Jones, Ambrose Petty, Thomas Williams, John
McClain, Archibald Hicks, Thomas Fowler, Gideon Rucker, Jesse G. Moore, Louis
Jetton, Gabriel Elkins, James Hawkins and Charles Evans, many of who are still
living. One of the first schools taught in what is now Cannon County was the
one situated about seven miles west of Woodbury, of which James Barklay was
the teacher.. This school was taught as early as 1810 or 1812. Other Early
schools of the years between the above school and 1815 were taught by Jacob
Mackeroy, on Hill Creek, one and a half miles east of Woodbury; by Bartlett
Wade, in the same neighborhood, and later in that neighborhood by John Finley.
In about 1814 James Rucker opened a school in Woodbury (then Danville), and a
few years later Elliot Tunley taught a school in the Methodist meeting-house
in town. The next school in Woodbury was taught by Thomas G. Wood. Laurens
Academy was established in Woodbury in 1838 as a county academy, for which a
frame building was erected. In 1859 the house was destroyed by a fire, when a
substantial brick was erected, which is now occupied as a private residence.
In about 1855 Baptists established a school, which has since become the
Woodbury College. The school building is a large two-story brick, and the
school a most excellent one. The other schools of the county besides the
commons schools are those at Short Mountain, Auburn, Bradysville and
Readerville, those at Woodbury and Short Mountain being chartered and working
under the four-mile law. In 1838 the scholastic population of Cannon County
was 1,961; in 1868, 3,559, and in 1885, as follows: White male, 2,296;
female, 2,251. Colored male, 118; female, 179; total, white and colored,
4,844. Among the first churches of Cannon County were Brawley Fork Baptist
Church, in which is now the Third District; Prospect Methodist Church, on Hill
Creek, in the Sixth District; Ford Meeting-house, Christian, in the Sixth
District, and Corlee's Meeting-house, on Brawley Fork, also in the Sixth
District, all of which were log houses and built all along between 1815 and
1820. The first church erected in Woodbury was a log
3
house, built about 1820 by the Methodists. This stood until about 1840, when
the present brick was erected. The next was a frame church erected by the
Baptists about 1841, which is still in use, and the next was the Christian
Church, frame, which was erected about 1842 and is still in use. The
Cumberland Presbyterians have an organization and meet in the courthouse, they
having no building of their own. The churches of the county by districts are
as follows: First District, New Hope, Christian; Second District, Berea,
Christian; Third Distract, Marion, Baptist, and Corlee, Christian; Fourth
District, Bethlehem, Christian, and Wesley Chapel, Methodist Episcopal South;
Fifth District, Daniels' Chapel, Methodist Episcopal South; Seventh District,
Cold Springs, Christian, and Walnut Grove, Methodist Episcopal South; Eighth
District, Wood's Meeting-house, Christian, and Blue Wing, Methodist Episcopal
South; Ninth District, Osment schoolhouse and Baptist, and Melton, Christian;
Eleventh District, New Hope, Cumberland Presbyterian, Shiloh and Poplar Stand,
Baptist, and Auburn, Christian; Twelfth District, Bradyville, Christian, and
Thytira, Cumberland Presbyterian; Thirteenth District, Holly Springs, Baptist,
and Parker's Chapel and Gilley Hill, Methodist Episcopal South; Fourteenth
District, Pleasant Ridge Christian, and Pleasant Ridge Baptist; Fifteenth
District, Jones' schoolhouse Methodist Episcopal South.
Among the early mills of the county were those of Nathaniel Moorhead at
Woodbury, on the Stone River, about 1813; Chas. Ready's mill on Stone River,
at Readyville, about 1812; Thomas Rooker's mill on the same stream, four miles
west from Woodbury, about 1814; Bryant's mill, on the same stream eight miles
west from Woodbury, about 1816; David Whittaker's mill, near town, at about
the same time; Archibald Prater's mill, on a branch of Stone River, five miles
east of town, about 1820, and Alexander Hill's mill, on Hill Creek, about
1821. The principal mills of the present are the Readerville flour-mills,
owned by P.C. Talley; Isaac McBroom's mill on Stone River, in the Second
District; W.F. Brerard's mill, on Stone River, at Woodbury, and J. L.
Sheckley's mill, on Stone River, in the Second District, all of which are
excellent flour and meal-mills, and like the above named old mills, are
operated by water power. Upon almost every creek in the county are found
small, water-powered corn-mills, and there are from ten to fifteen portable,
steam saw-mills at work in the county.
Cannon County was established by the act of the General Assembly, passed
January 21, 1836, and was organized the following May. It was named in honor
of Gov. Cannon, and its county seat for Hon. Levi
4
Woodbury of New Hampshire. The county is bounded on the north by the counties
of Wilson and Smith, east by Warren and De Kalb, south by Coffee, west by
Rutherford, and has an area of 420 square miles. The county court in 1836
ordered the erection of a courthouse and jail. The former was completed in
1838 after the style and plan of the Rutherford County Courthouse, and cost
about $13,000. The building is in use at the present and bids fair to do
service for the next fifty years. It is a large, square, two-story brick
building and is very conveniently arranged. The jail was also completed in
1838, was a brick building, but being too near Stone River it was washed away
in the freshet of 1850. A second brick jail was erected in 1852 which served
until 1880, when the present substantial stone building was erected.
In 1840 Cannon County had a population of 7,163, of 8,982 in 1850, of 9,509 in
1860, of 10,502 in 1870, of 11,200 in 1880 and of about 12,500 in 1886. In
1870 there were assessed in the county for taxation 160,013 acres of land,
valued at $1,452,220, and the valuation of the real and personal property was
$1,079,260. The tax duplicate for 1886 shows taxes assessed as follows: State,
$3,237.78; county, $3,117.90; school, $4,796.90; road, $539.63, and poll
$1,670, making a total of $11,692.21. In 1870 the live stock of the county
amounted to 4,839 head of horses and mules, 3,533 head of cattle, 12,198 head
of sheep and 23,550 head of hogs. In 1870 the cereal products of the country
amounted to 79,520 bushels of wheat, 564,330 bushels of corn, 26,870 bushels
of oats and 3,167 bushels of rye. In 1886 the products were 94,150 bushels of
wheat, 821,012 bushels of corn, 22,802 bushels of oats and 6,985 bushels of
rye.
In May, 1836, Thomas Powell. Isaac Finley, Allen Haley, Joseph Simpson, Blake
Sedgly, James L. Essary, John Pendleton, Isaac W. Eledge, Elijah Stephens,
I.M. Brown, F.L. Turner, John Milton, Charles C. Evans, Samuel Lance, Wm.
Bates, Wm. B. Foster, John Martin, John Frazier, Martin Phillips, Reuben
Evans, Lemuel Moore, James Goodwin, Peter Reynolds, James Beatie, Joel
Cheatham and Jonathan Fuson, all bearing commissions as justices, met at the
house of Henry d. McBroom, which was the old hotel, in Woodbury, for the
purpose of organizing the county court. The body was called to order by
Leighton Ferrell, sheriff of Warren County, and the oath of office was
administered by Eli Bailey, acting justice for Warren County. The court then
organ-
5
ized by the election of Thomas Powell as chairman, and the wheels of
government were put in motion. The Cannon Circuit Court was organized at
McBroom's tavern in Woodbury in 1836 by Judge Edmund Dillahunty, who presided
in the inter-change with regular judge, Wm. Anderson.
Judge B. L. Ridley organized the Cannon Chancery Court at the old tavern in
Woodbury in 1836, and appointed Henry Tratt, first clerk and master.
Among the early lawyers of Woodbury were Jonathan Farr, Abraham Burger, Jr.,
M.W. McKnight, J.S. Barton and Thomas G. Wood. The present attorneys are J.H.
Cummings, H.J. St. John, A. Finley, James A. Jones, John S. Wood, W.C. Huston,
A.J. Smithson and W.H. Cummings. Of the above M.W. McKnight was attorney-

Cannon County, as a county, furnished to the wars of 1836 and 1846, but they
went as individuals, there being no regularly organized bodies or companies
raised in the county for either of those wars.Not so, however, with the late
Rebellion, to which she furnished the following eight companies, all regularly
organized within the county:
Three full companies to the Eighteenth Regiment of Tennessee Infantry,
organized in May, 1861, and commanded by Capts. Richmond Rushing, A.J. St.
John and Grand Wood; one company to Col. Barton's Mississippi Regiment of
Calvary, organized in the latter part of 1861, commanded by Capt. Timothy
Ellison, who was killed in 1862, and succeeded by W.M. McKnight; two companies
to Col. Hill's Fourth Regiment of Tennessee Infantry, organized in 1862, and
commanded by Capts. M.M. Brin, Jr., and J.H. Wood, and two companies to the
Fourth Regiment of Tennessee Calvary, organized in 1863, and commanded by
Capt. H.A. Wylie and J.W. Nichols.
The county was occupied first by the Northern and then the Southern Armies
during the struggle, and numerous skirmishes were fought in the county, but
none of sufficient importance or consequence to merit mention.
Woodbury, the county seat, was formerly Danville, and belonged to Warren
County. Danville was founded in about 1819 by Henry D. McBroom and Henry Watt,
who were the first merchants, and the former the first tavern-keeper. Other
early merchants were Henry Watt, Jr., Wylie & Dunkerson, Nathan Neeley, and
Wood & Wylie. In 1836, when Cannon County was established, the commissioners
entrusted with the locating of a county seat, selected Danville, and the name
of the town was changed to that of Woodbury. At that time there were not over
100 inhabitants in the place. Woodbury now has a population of about 600, and
is situated on the south bank of Stone River, at the terminus of the Woodbury
and Murfreesboro Turnpike, nineteen miles east from the latter town, and fifty
miles southeast from Nashville, in the lovely valley of Stone River,
surrounded by high, rounded hills, and having beautiful scenery and excellent
health. Woodbury was incorporated in 1852, and with the exception of the years
of the late war, worked continually under the charter of incorporation then
secured until 1880, when the charter was surrendered in order to give the
"four-mile" temperance law force and effect.
The first merchants of Woodbury were Henry Trott, Jr., James J. Trott, Joseph
Ramsey, Ramsey and Garrison, Parker F. Stone, Thomas C. Wood, Bates and Hume,
and Nathan Neeley. Henry D. Broom continued as tavern-keeper up to about 1857-
58. The merchants of the present
7
are Martin & Gribble, McFerrin & Wylie, Hoover & Mason, J.A.H. Thompson, C.P.
McBroom, J.G. Smith & Bros., and E. and J.T. Stephens, dry goods and
groceries; R.H. Preston, groceries; William Brewer, C.C. Broom, and J.H.
Thrower, drugs; Z. Dillon & Bro.,saddle and harness shop; T.J. Vance, livery
stable; J.H. Thrower, undertaker and furniture, and W.A. Talley, hotel.
The Cannon Carrier, W.T. Mingle, editor and proprietor, is the only paper
published in the county. The Courier was established in 1882, is Democratic in
politics and is prosperous.
The early physicians of Woodbury were Drs. Gowan, New, Barnes, Flowers and
Tatum, and those of the present are Drs. Robert F. Tatum, B.F. Lester, L.B.
McCreary, H.M. Hern and Dr. Barton.
The villages of the county, all of which are small and have only from fifty to
one hundred and fifty inhabitants each, are Bradyville, ten miles southwest
from Woodbury, in the Twelfth District; Auburn, sixteen miles north from
Woodbury, in the Eleventh District; Mechanicsville, at Short Mountain, ten
miles northeast from Woodbury, in the Ninth District. Readerville, seven miles
from Woodbury and twelve miles from Murfreesboro,on the pike, is part in
Cannon and part in Rutherford County, the county line running through the
town, yet it is placed in Rutherford County, and the postoffice is in that
county.

John H. "Shorty" Brown Cemetery - After living for a time in Arkansas, John H. "Shorty" Brown (1817-1896), his wife Jane Ann, and some of their children came here. Brown helped found San Saba in 1854 and became a civic leader. Although San Saba County provided a graveyard, Brown and his wife deeded this plot near their home for a family burial ground. Jane Ann, who bore 17 of Brown's 21 children, was probably the first burial here about 1874. Brown's son and a son-in-law who were murdered are buried here along with other family members and friends.

Marie spent most of her youth at convent, rarely visited by family, one summer allowed to have pet pig
(above tradition per JMC, CBS)
Marie rarely spoke of father Crist Carrico

"Ma-Maw Stanley was born Marie Mistrot Carrico. When her mother and father divorced, her grandmother Susan Kennedy, took her away from her mother, Hattie or Harriet, because she did not agree with Daughter's "life style." She placed Ma-Maw in a convent in New Orleans. At some point, if I remember correctly, she was at a convent or school in Palestine. Mammy, as she called her grandmother, would come to visit her for two weeks during the summer. The rest of the summer Ma-Maw spent alone in the dormitory except for an occasional over-night stay by one of her favorite nuns to keep her company. They also let her have a pet pig one summer. Must have been a very lonely life. I don't know what they did not like about Christ Carrico. Ma-Maw said one time that they felt that Daughter had married beneath her status in life. She was estranged from her parents, Nathan and Susan Kennedy. She later married Fred Mair, so she then became Harriet Lee Mair. They lived in Colorado. For a while she lived in San Diego. There she made friends with various sea captains who would send her unposted stamps from all over the world. Finally she ended up in Mineral Wells at a nursing home because Ma-Maw was not able to keep her with her. She died when I was in high school.
On the trip when Mother took both Ma-Maws to California, they were passing through a town in New Mexico (I'm not sure if it was Albuquerque) and Ma-Maw mentioned that this was were her father was buried. Mother asked if she wanted to go to his grave. She said that she did not know where it was as it was unmarked. Well, you know Mother, she took the bull by the horns, went to the cemetery, found the information, and then Ma-Maw made arrangements to place a marker. We know very little about Christ and Ma-Maw was always reluctant to talk about him.

MILES AND PRISCILLA PARKER CHAPPELL
written by Anne Chappell
MilesChappell, born 5 June, 1790 in Amelia County, VA, moved to to BedfordCounty, TN about 1807 with his parents Susannah Moore and AbnerChappell, a Revolutionary War veteran, born in Amelia County, 12April, 1763, died in Howard County, MO, 15 Feb 1839. In BedfordCounty on 12 July, 1812, Miles married Priscilla Parker, born 10April, 1797, daughter of Mary Harris and Elijah Parker, born about1768 and died in 1853 in Raus, Bedford County.
Around1820, Abner moved west to Howard County, MO, where he claimed bountyland for his war service. At about the same time Miles and hisyoung family moved south to Tennesse.
Thenext record concerning the two of them is of Miles' selling his inheritance from his father. The deed was recorded in HowardCounty Deed Book S, page 395, 1841. This important document wasnot discovered by Phillip Chappell who wrote The Chappell Genealogyin 1900, an extensive work that was appended and reprinted in 1983. In the 1950s, Mrs. John McQueen Guttery discovered the document andworked diligently at bringing forward the Miles Chappell line in alittle book, The Chappell Family. Unfortunately only one of herbooks is known to be available to the public, so a copy has beenincluded with other data in a collection entitled Chappells andStanleys of Bedford County, TN., Jasper County, GA., Fayette andTuscaloosa Counties, AL., and Hill and Johnston Counties, TX. and donated to LDS family history centers and the library atTuscaloosa.
Atleast five and possibly seven of Miles' and Priscilla's fourteenchildren, twelve daughters and two sons, were born in Tennessee. The others were born in Fayette County, Alabama. Miles andPriscilla lived in Fayette County south of Berry, near the TuscaloosaCounty line until their very last years when they moved into the homeof their daughter and son-in-law Jesse M. and Martha Stanley inTuscaloosa County. As their children married they establishedhomes in both counties.
Theirchildren were (1) Lucy, 26 June, 1813 - 27 Aug, 1838, marriedGeorge W. Johnston, both buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery at Berry; (2) Sarah, 15 Apr, 1815 - after 1889, married Robert Berry; (3)Permelia, 6 Feb, 1817 - 26 Oct, 1903, married Jehu Chaney Kirkland,both buried Siloam Church Cemetery, Winfield, Marion County, AL; (4) James Harvey, 27 Feb, 1819 - 23 Jan, 1896, married Lucy Freeman,both buried at Pleasant Hill; (5) Susanah, 6 Feb 1822, dsp,very young; (6) Mary, 21 Mar, 1824 - before 1887,married Oliver Davis; (7) Catherine, 27 Aug, 1826 - before1887, married Samuel Whitson; (8) Palatine, 29 Jan, 1929 -after 1889, married John C. Freeman; (9) Martha Jane, 29 May,1831 - 20 Sep, 1909, married Jesse Mercer Stanley, both buried inSterling Cemetery near Miles and Priscilla; (10) Lutitia, 12May, 1833 - 25 June, 1910, married William Lucius Stanley, bothburied Oak Hill Cemetery, Jasper County, AL; (11) Caraline, 4 Aug,1835 - after 1889, married Nathaniel Davis; (12) Elizabeth, 22 Sep,1837 - 6 Sep 1910, married D. C. M. T. Winn, buried Pleasant Hill; (13) John A., 29 Nov, 1840 - after 1889, married Callester Bagwell,and (14) Alpha Ann, 13 May 1846 - after 1889, married JohnThomas. Except for Susanah, all children had issue. Therewere thirty-three years between the the first and last child. Lucy the eldest had married, given birth to six children, and died atage twenty-five before the birth eight years later of Alpha Ann. The only two sons were separated by more than twenty-one years.
WhenMiles died intestate 24 Mar, 1887, and was buried in Tuscaloosa Co.in Bethlehem Church Cemetery in Sterling, just three months short ofhis ninety-seventh birthday, his son James Harvey Chappell andson-in-law Jesse M. Stanley were appointed administrators of hisestate which would not be settled until 1894, seven years later. What had to be a monumentous task for his administrators would oneday become a genealogist's bonanza. Miles had outlived four ofhis children. He had outlived grandchildren with heirs and evengreat grandchildren with heirs. All had to be traced down andaccounted for, and when the final accounting was done eight membersof the first generation inherited $43.96 each and some of the greatgreat grandchildren inherited eighty-one and one-fourth cents eachfrom an estate which had been valued at $849.00. Administrativefees, no doubt well-deserved, lawyer, and court fees had eaten awayat the already meager estate that had taken so much effort toresolve. James Harvey and John A did not receive aninheritance, presumably because of the land Deeds of Gift they hadreceived earlier from their father. At the beginning of thesettling of the estate, Palatine and John C. Freeman, Alpha Ann andJohn Thomas, and John A. and Callister Chappell had already moved toTexas as had many of the subsequent generations. Others were livingin Mississippi. This lengthy probate providing documentation ofspouses, up to four generations of children, and their residence atthe time, has been transcribed and is included in the Chappell andStanley collection mentioned earlier. Also included in thatcollection is a list of about 750 descendants compiled from theestate record, Mrs. Guttery's work, marriage, census, and cemeteryrecords.
Anotheruseful and entertaining source of information on this couple isMiles' War of 1812 record, SC-14477. Because of the governmentred tape that was undoubtedly a nightmare for the participants,Miles's military record provides more information than many suchrecords. Miles was drafted near Shelbyville, Bedford County, TNin November, 1814, and served in Captain John Jackson's Company,Tennessee Militia. Seventeen year old Priscilla was earlypregnant with their second child. Miles served under GeneralAndrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans, finished his tour ofduty, was discharged honorably in May, 1815, and returned home justafter the birth of his second daughter.
InAlabama, years later under the Acts of 1850 and 1855, Miles appliedfor and received bounty land for his service. In 1871, seventy-eight year old Miles signed a declaration of loyalty to theUnited States, attesting that in the recent rebellion, he had givenno aid or comfort to the enemy, and requesting a pension under theprovision of the act of 1871. In 1872, he was approved for apension of $8.00 a month. September 1, 1886, Tuscaloosaattorney, S. A. M. Wood wrote a letter at the request of Miles'daughter, Martha Stanley with whom Miles and Priscilla were nowliving. Miles was now blind and helpless, and it was theirunderstanding that his condition entitled him to another $4.00 amonth for a total of $12.00.
Whetherthe paperwork cleared Washington before Miles' death is uncertain. What is evident is the aggravation poor Priscilla encountered whenshe tried to get her widow's pension established. The required formwas not too difficult, asking the usual information: date and placeof birth, enlistment, death, and a description of his appearance atthe time of his enlistment. He was, Priscilla recalled, fivefeet, nine inches tall, with black hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. It seems that although his name was written Miles, he was called"Milo." On occasion the latter spelling hadbeen entered in his record, and when his blindness required him tohave his vouchers signed with his "X" appended, the signerhad written "Milo." Questions had arisen concerningthis while he still lived, but after his death, it became a majorobstacle for Priscilla. Oddly they never questioned thevariations of Chappell, Chappel, and Chapel. Not only did shehave to explain the Miles\Milo discrepancy, but she must show proofof their marriage which had occured just seventy-five years, lessthree months, before Miles died! The poor widow responded,"...so far as I know it would be impossible for me to furnishproof of our mariage for there is no one living as I know of that sawus married..." Finally she satisfied their requirementswith several sworn statements regarding the actual date of Miles'death, the spelling and pronunciation of his name, and that they hadlived as man and wife for at least the last forty-five years. Elevenmonths after his death, Priscilla got her pension retroactive back tohis death date and for the full $12.00! What a fortune thismust have seemed. Priscilla lived another eighteen months afterthe her pension was granted, and then on 27 Aug, 1889, she joinedMiles in that peaceful little church cemetery in Sterling.

An index of Tennesseans in the War of 1812 lists Miles Chappell as having served int he First Regiment of West Tennessee Militia commanded by Colonel William Metcalfe. His company commander was Captain John Jackson. This unit served from November 1814 to May 1815 and participated in the Battle of New Orleans.
The index to War of 1812 Pensions lists Chappell as having applied for a pension. The pension file number is SC 14477. His widow also applied for a pension under file number WC 34903. The National Archives has both serve records and pension files in their holdings.
The abstracted pension information revealed that Miles also went by the name of Milo Chappell. He married in Bedford County, Tennessee in 1812 to Pricilla Parker and he died in Alabama in 1887.

General: I am looking for anyone with information on the family of John J. Davis b.1825 in North Carolina and his wife Marcillions (SP) Davis b.1831 in North Carolina. Their children are listed below as they appeared in the 1870 census. They were living in Tuscaloosa County in Alabama at that time.
Children

Cullen R. b.1851
Hastings b.1854
Maryland b.1856
Caledonias b.1858
Duncan b.1864
Martha Jane b.1866
Sophrenias b.12/1869
Cullen R. Davis (1851-1918) was my g,g grandfather. He married Mary Frances Davis (1853-1931) in 1872 in AL and they later moved to Hill County, Texas.
If you know of this family or have any information regarding this family I sure would appreciate hearing for you.
Thanks,
Scott McDonald

Journal of the Confederate Congress, Volume 3
Confederate States of America, War Department,
Richmond, December 8, 1863.
Sir: I have the honor to recommend the following nominations for appointment in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States of America:
Surgeons
(p 543) N. B. Kennedy, of Mississippi, to take rank from February 10, 1863.
(p 534) John F. Kennedy, of Mississippi, to take rank from March 1, 1863.
460 Confederate Veteran September 1897.
Mr. Ed Rodgers, of Hillsboro, Tex., writes: "Dr. N. B. Kennedy, Adjutant of Hill County
Camp, died very suddenly of heart disease on August 10. He was very enthusiastic in
arranging the details of reunion for the 13th, but was promoted three days before, and we
had to move on without him. Dr. Kennedy was born in Sumter Sumter
County, Ala., in 1837. He joined the TwentySeventh Alabama Regiment, but was soon
detailed as assistant surgeon of it, and later was sent to the hospital service at Lauderdale
Springs, Miss., and then to the same service at Uniontown, Ala. Dr. Kennedy came to
Hillsboro in 1871. He was intelligent and zealous in all his work."
Census (17 August 1870): James Martin is enumerated in this census as age "11", possibly this should be "61", also born in Louisiana, not Georgia. Is this the father of SWL Martin Kennedy or a young cousin? I believe it to be James Martin (Sr) at this time, pending further study of the Martin family.

Dr. N.B. Kennedy, Surgeon of the 27th Alabama Infantry, moved to Hillsboro, Texas in 1871. He was born in Sumter County, Alabama in 1837 and died in Hillsboro on August 10, 1897 of heart failure. (JimTaylor's Home Page, 27th Alabama Infantry, http://www.datasync.com/~jtaylor/27misc.htm)

In Response To: Dr. N.B. Kennedy, 27th Alabama Reg. (Nancie)
My notes on this regiment include the following:
Nathan B. Kennedy. Appointed Assistant Surgeon Aug. 31, 1863, to rank Feb. 10, 1863; assigned to this regiment [March] 1863. Transferred to Macon MS, June [14,] 1863.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Although I was not able to find any articles about Dr Kennedy, I did find some old financial reports sent in by Hillsboro Lodge #48. In the old original reports from the late 1800's(which are remarkably well preserved) I did find evidence of him being an officer at the lodge in June 1889.He was the Vice Chancellor, the second highest office in the subordinate lodge.Later in 1889 he became the Chancellor Commander, the top officer of the lodge. The records sent in by Hillsboro Lodge #48 did reflect he was a Past Chancellor Commander in 1891. He stayed in the lodge until his death that they show as being August 9,1897. There were no secretarial notes in our possession, but the financial records do give some information on who was a member of a lodge.Dr Kennedy was a Pythian from 1889 until his death in 1897. I hope this does provide you some information you were searching for about him.I'm only sorry I have no other records to tell you more. RespectfullyBob Mehalick, Grand Secretary

KENNEDY, NATHAN B., physician, poet, was born Dec. 24, 1837, in Sumpter county, Ala. In 1860 he graduated from the medical department of Tulane university, and the following year entered the confederate army as assistant surgeon, serving in that capacity until the close of the war. For thirty-four years he was actively engaged in the practice of his profession, but has now retired and lives in Hillsboro, Texas. He has contributed extensively to the periodical press, and his poems have been given a place in Poets of America and other standard works.

''Notes:'' Susan William Lee MARTIN-96
General: Sued Pacific Express Company for personal injury, Nov 1902 (apparently dismissed)
President of Old Ladies' Home Association of Texas 1900-1904
Involved in a lawsuit that went to the Texas Supreme Court on 18 Jun 1886. Her father, James H Martin, added a codicil to his will that was witnessed by Susan and Nathan Kennedy. The original will apparently divided Martin's estate between Susan and her sister Susan A D Martin. The codicil divided the estate between Susan (50%) and the other 50% to be split by the sister and Susan's 2 kids. The lower court apparently decided in favor of the original will, deciding the codicil was a forgery. Susan appealed that decision and it went to the Texas Supreme Court, who found several errors and sent the case back to the lower court.
Cases argued and decided in the Supreme Court of the State of Texas

Welcome to The Research Wiki for Ruth's Genealogy!
The purpose of this wiki is in-depth research and documentation of my direct-line ancestors. For each individual, I hope to collect and evaluate enough data to present his or her life in as much detail and as accurately as possible.
Data for the majority of the persons in my genealogy database has been obtained online. In general, the information I have acquired from the Internet has been enough to establish a legitimate relationship to these individuals.
But for a more accurate and detailed knowledge of my ancestors, it is necessary to seek both online and off-line resources and to then combine these findings to recreate the daily lives of those who came before me.

All well, health good; crops good, except small grain.
We are having plenty of rain; in fact, too much. Cotton
chopping is now in order with us; corn large enough to
"lay by," and putting out potatoe slips is at hand.
We have had 300 cases of small pox in this county - only
4 deaths out of that number, and but four new cases have
been reported for the past few days. I am County Committeeman
of precinct No. 4, and am in position to know something
of the trouble and cost of trying to control this disease.
This county has already paid out for doctor bills, $2,000;
guard hire, about $700.00; grocer bills, $1,000; nurse
hire, $300.00. We have learned much; for instance, one
man and his wife had the disease, -- we hired a nurse,
furnished them supplies and paid their bills until they
were well again; then their children were stricken down,
and the father and mother nursed them back to health and
presented their bill (for nursing their own children) to
County Commissioners to be paid. They had already received
about $100.00 of the county funds, and seemed to be going
upon the principle that "it's an ill wind that blows nobody
good.
"They are transient people, and not citizens of our county".
Much is being said and written these days about good roads.
In this county we are working the roads with county convicts;
that is, where it will do the general public the most good.
We use road graders - plow on each side of the road and
then grade to the center, and work 8 miles to the grader.
County bridges are built with convict labor also, and it
is a much better [sic] than sending the convicts to the
coal mines, as is done in Ala.; better for the convicts
and better for the county.
A movement is on foot to enact a law in this State
granting all counties the right to use short time
State convicts in building good roads, and without
any cost to the counties using them.
Well, I must tell you about our family reunion. Mother
is here on a visit, and I sent to Earth county [probably
Erath Co.] for aunt Pattie Freeman, widow of Rev. John
Freeman; and to Narvon county [Navarro Co.?] for aunt
Caroline Davis, wife of Buck Davis, who resided near
Fayette, Ala., until last fall. These are two of my
aunts who had not seen each other for 38 [? digits are
indistinct] years, and I tell you it was a happy meeting.
Aunt Tina Richards, my father's sister, and Mrs. Baker,
mother of Rich and Frank Baker, were here; these were
all girls together. Eight were seated at my table at
one time, the youngest being 63 years old, the oldest
76, and the others past 70 years of age. Aunt Sis,
mother's youngest sister, could not be with us; a letter
from her husband brings the sad news that she is dangerously
ill, with little hope of recovery. Uncle John Thomas, her
husband, is Treasurer of Knox county. I have just learned
that aunt Amelia Kirkland is in Coke county, Tex., and I
wrote her today to come at once and we will have another
reunion. Aunt Amelia and aunt Pattie have not seen each
other since about 1845. Aunt Amelia is the widow of Hon.
Hugh Kirkland, who at one time represented Fayette county
in the General Assembly of Ala. I look for her in about a week.
Mother will return to Alabama about the first of July,
and Roof Stanley will go with her. Roof is an old
bachelor, who claims to be nearly old enough to work
the road. Mother and Roof will take a 4th of July
dinner at Windham Springs, Ala. I would like to be
there, too.
Yours truly, Miles F. Stanley

DEATH CALLS M F STANLEY
Early Settler of Hill County and Commissioner from Precinct 4 for Six Years, Passes Away at Mineral Wells.
FUNERAL SERVICES AT GRANDVIEW WEDNESDAY
For Man Who Was Credited With Unusually Valuable Service to His County and Community
News was received in this city of the death at his home in Mineral Wells Monday morning of Miles F Stanley, pioneer Hill county citizen and early Hill county commissioner. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church in Grandview at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and a large number of citizens are expected to attend.
Born in Tuscaloosa county, Ala on July 21, 1851, he was therefore permitted to reach the ripe old age of 84 years, retaining all of his faculties and his interest in the everyday affairs. He was married Dec 14, 1871 to Miss Maryland Davis, and they moved to Texas and Hill county in January 1875, locating north of Itasca where he became a large land owner and one of the county's most progressivefarmers and leading citizens, vitally interested in the schools and in better roads. No children were born to Mr and Mrs Stanley but they reared several.
Mr Stanley was elected commissioner from precinct 4 and served for six years and the claim is made that he instituted a new era in road building , and though he had moved away when the first good roads bond issue was voted in the Itasca precinct he exerted his influence for the bond success.

Miles F Stanley Dies
Special to The News
Mineral Wells, Texas, July 15.
-Miles F Stanley, 84, pioneer and extensive landowner in the Itasca vicinity, for six years County Commissioner of Hill County, died Monday following a paralytic stroke early in June. He was a nativeof Alabama but moved to Hill County, Texas in 1875. He had resided in Mineral Wells for twenty-three years. Survivors are a foster son, John T Stanley, Fort Worth; a sister, Mrs Lona Brown, Birmingham, and B F Stanley, Midland, and A W Stanley, Chattanooga, Tenn, brothers. Funeral services will be held at the residence Wednesday morning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I came across your website, containing some Stanley genealogy. My husband's grandmother was Mattie Lee Stanley, dau of Wm Thomas Stanley from the Itasca area. Mattie Lee left some old clippings, photos, etc, and I am sorting through. Came across an obit for Miles F. Stanley:
Itasca and Hill county citizens were saddened Monday when it was learned that Miles F. Stanley had passed away at his home in Mineral Wells earlier in the day. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church in Grandview conducted by Rev. Riley of Mineral Wells, assisted by the pastor J.J. Creed. Interment was in the grandview Cemetery beside the body of his life-long companion who preceeded him in death only a few years ago.
Mr Stanley was for many years a citizen of Hill county having moved to this section in 1875. He had large landed interests in the northern edge of Hill County and was regarded as one of the county's most successful farmers. With his wife he moved to Mineral Wells in 1906, making regular visits to Itasca and Grandview where he numbered his friends by scores. He served Precinct No 4 of this county for six years and established a record as a road builder in the days when the general public gave little attention to this matter. He always stood for good schools and all those things that meant advancement in moral, spiritual and material ways.
Born in Tuscaloosa county, Alabama July 21, 18551, he was therefore 84 years of age at the time of his death. he had no children in his home but he and his good wife took in several orphan children and reared them to maturity, all of whom became worthy upright citizens.
He was always loyal to his friends, honest and upright in all dealings and his visits to his friends here will be greatly missed."

Hi Ruth,
I don't think I was the one to find the orbit for Miles F Stanley.. I imagine that it came from the Mineral Wells newspaper... I was impressed with him.. His mother Martha Jane Chappell was a sister to my Gr Gr Grandmother Alpha Ann Chappell ... Alpha married John Pendleton Thomas and they are both buried the Benjamin Cemetery in Knox Co., Texas... Miles F Stanley's children would be my only Stanley relatives... And, I would love any info on them.. I guess we are distant relatives.. I wish I could help you more..

References to Francis Turner
p. 13- The leading crops are corn, wheat, rye, and oats, though the first settlers grew flax, cotton, and tobacco. Some of the finest mules driven South before and after the War between
the States were raised on DeKalb County farms. In 1840 Tennessee was the greatest hog and corn State in the Union, and this county produced its share. Small fortunes have been
made in hog-trading. Early traders were Francis Turner, William B. Stokes, Matthew Sellars, Edward Robinson, Robin Forrester, William G. Stokes, and others.
p. 28- As early as 1832-33 the neighborhood around the village must have been thickly populated or many patrons of the stores came from the Smithville and Woodbury communities.
Some of the names on Dr. Wright's daybook are: J. G. Roulstone, S. J. Garrison, David L. Ray, W. C. Garrison, Lemuel H. Bethel, David Fite, Reuben Evans, Eli A. Fisher, M. A.
Fricks, German Gossett, Francis Turner, G. Shehane, Henry Fite, Charles Jenkins, James Stanford, George L. Givan, John Floyd, Zach Williamson, Brackett Estes, John L. Strong,
Joel N. West, John Stark, Peter Hays, Joshua Bratten, B. F. Wood, T. W. Duncan, James Wilder, Moses Fite, Joseph Cameron, Louis Y. Davis, ...
p. 46- DeKalb County had its share of the 1,274 "stills." Perhaps the first was put up about 1801 by Jesse Allen on Eagle Creek. The writer's maternal grandfather, Abraham Overall,
was a distiller, and from his old account book we get an idea of the cheapness of ardent spirits and realize how the best people kept a supply. Among his customers were Thomas
Richardson, Moses Allen, Dr. Flowers, Dr. Jefferson Sneed, William Goggin, Josiah Fuson, Samson Braswell, John Allen, Josiah Hale, Matthew Sellars, Samuel Barger, William
Pistole, Joseph Hays, James Stark, Hiram Morris, Joseph Turney, Daniel Ford, Francis Turner, Isaac Turney, Jacob Adams, Henry Powell, Goolsberry Blades, 'Bias Wilson, and
Peter Clark.
p. 51- Isaac Whaley once gave this pointer to the writer: "Our people generally wore homespun clothes- the women cotton dresses striped with indigo and turkey red, though some
had silk. The men's clothing was usually made by tailors, our first tailor at Liberty being Bill Cochran; the second, Joe Perryman. The best of our early hatters was Mathias West, who
made considerable money. Wool and fur hats were made. Mr. West could make as fine a 'stovepipe' as you will see. The price was $7 or $8, and when the fur was worn off the hat
was brought back and made as good as new. The wealthiest people, like Francis Turner, Ned Robinson, and Abraham Overall, had fine broadcloth suits made by the tailors."
p. 99- Slaves were numerous in the county. Scores of citizens owned from two to a dozen, while a few held a much larger number. The original stock in most instances was brought
from the older States by the pioneers. There was not very much trafficking in this species of property in DeKalb County. Of the slave owners adjacent to Liberty, these are recalled with
little effort: James Allen, John Stark, W. G. Bratten, Reuben Evans, Francis Turner, Isaac Turney, Abraham Overall, Ezekiel Bass, Edward Robinson, Henry Frazier, Dr. G. C. Flowers,
Daniel Smith, Nicholas Smith, Horace Overall, W. B. Stokes, James Tubb, Isaac Turney, Thomas Stokes, John Bethel, Eli Vick, James Fuston, Joseph Clarke, William Vick, William
Sellars, Jasper Ruyle, William Avant, Sampson Williams, Thomas Givan, Peter and Jacob Adams, Leonard Lamberson, the Brazwells, Hayses, Groomses, Roys, and Bates.
p. 128- DeKalb County has been noted for its large and strong men. Commercial travelers and others have remarked upon the fact. It is safe to say that no countyof the same
population can show a larger number. "Big" Bill Evans, once county trustee, weighed in his prime about two hundred and seventy-five pounds. Mrs. Matilda Huggins, his sister,
weighed probably more. William B. Preston was about the size of Evans, and his mother weighed about three hundred pounds. Fox Frazier (hog trader), his brother Henry, John
Parker (of Dismal Creek), Col. James Tubb, James Fuston (tavern keeper), Presley Adamson, Henry L. Turner, Francis Turner, James Stark, Landon Richardson, Bill Garrison, Aaron
Frazier, Sr., William Estes, Moses and John Spencer, Jim Willis, Thomas Roe, George and Thomas E. Bratten, Bart Pack, George Givan, Sr., William G. Bratten, Jack Tubb, Rev.
Natty Hayes, Gips West-such men, weighing from two hundred and twenty-five pounds up, could be named in scores.

According to research of Frieda & William Reddell, Francis was the son of James Turner/Ann Reeves from Patrick Co. VA. and was brought to Wilson Co. TN by his parents about 1815 (his father is identified in 1815 VA deed as being 'of Wilson Co. TN) Francis was apparently still in his father's household at the time of the 1820 census
The 1820 Wilson co. TN census shows that James was over 45 with sons:
18-26 - this would have been John, b. 1802
16-18 - this would have been Francis b. 1804
10-16 - this would have been James Jr. b. 1808
Their brother Jeremiah was listed as head of his own household in age group 16-26
Females listed were:
Anna
2 16-26 - Elizabeth b. 1797 & Lucinda b. 1805
2 und. 10 - Anna b. 1811 and Susannah b. 1816
----
The estate sale of James is recorded 20 Oct 1825 in Wilson Co. TN. Although he did not leave a will, his family was reconstructed from the estate sale records. Buyers at sale of estate included John, FRANCIS, James, Jerry, Ann Turner and George Phillips. Record was sworn to in open court by Jerimiah Turner. George Phillips had married James & Anne's daughter Lucinda in 1822. Ann Turner was the buyer of household goods and the family bible. There is Wilson Co. marriage 6 Jan 1837 of Anna Turner to Nicholas Loyd, but no proof this was widow.

There is difference in age groups between 1830 and 1840 census --either age groups were incorrect in one of the census reports, or more probably, the children listed in 1840 census as born 1820-1825 do not belong to Francis/Elizabeth. Two of the 3 children in 1830 census are accounted for on 1840 census in correct age group (missing is one male- possibly deceased by 1840?) It seems unlikely that Francis (who was only 21 by 1825) would have had 3 children born before he turned 21 - especially considering they were not listed in his 1830 census household.

There is a Francis Turner age 66 living alone in Cannon County 1870 census. According to Reddell, son Isaac was also in the 1870 Cannon Co. census, but he returned to DeKalb Co. by 1880. It would appear that the Civil War had a devastating effect on many of the well-to-do DeKalb Co. families and many seem to have scattered including the Turner, Turney, Ashworth and Tubb families. Francis & Elizabeth's son, Francis Jr. had married Mary Ashworth - by 1870, they were in Wilson County, Alexandria Post Office in Census. Francis and family appear in the records of the Baptist church in Cannon County. Mary's parents, Thomas & Julia Ashworth remained in DeKalb Co. for the 1870 census, but shortly afterwards, moved to Kaufman Co. TX where 3 oftheir sons had moved before the Civil War.
----
Apparently, many probate records for DeKalb Co. are missing for the years when Francis Sr. probably died and no estate records have been found for him. Nor has a grave site for either Francis or his wife Elizabeth been found.
HISTORY OF DEKALB COUNTY TENNESSEE By WILL T. HALE
NASHVILLE, TENN. PAUL HUNTER, PUBLISHER 1915
page 12:
..... The leading crops are corn, wheat, rye, and oats, though the first settlers grew flax, cotton, and tobacco. Some of the finest mules driven South before and after the War between the States were raised on DeKalb County farms. In 1840 Tennessee was the greatest hog and corn State in the Union, and this county produced its share. Small fortunes have been made in hog-trading. Early traders were FRANCIS TURNER
, William B. Stokes, Matthew Sellars, Edward Robinson, Robin Forrester, William G. Stokes, and others. The last named, a son of Thomas Stokes, of Temperance Hall, disappeared before the war on a trip South and was never heard of again. Buyers after the war were C.W. L. Hale, W. G. Evans, Gips West, Fox Frazier, and others. Hogs handled by the earlier dealers were from two to three years old when fattened. They were driven across country south, mainly to Georgia. Ten drivers could manage one thousand hogs, and one route was through Liberty, up Clear Fork, by McMinnville, over Walden's Ridge, across the Tennessee River, and on to Marietta, Milledgeville, Macon, and various Southern towns. Thirty-five days were allowed to go from Liberty to Georgia. The animals traveled from two and a half to ten miles a day. Dr. Foster imparts the interesting fact that in the "flatwoods" years ago there were many wild or feral hogs, belonging to no one but claimed by many. Descended from domesticated stock, "they developed immense tusks and long, heavy coats of hair."

... DeKalb County had its share of the 1,274 "stills." Perhaps the first was put up about 1801 by Jesse Allen on Eagle Creek. The writer's maternal grandfather, Abraham Overall, was a distiller, and from his old account book we get an idea of the cheapness of ardent spirits and realize how the best people kept a supply. Among his customers were Thomas Richardson, Moses Allen, Dr. Flowers, Dr.Jefferson Sneed, William Goggin, Josiah Fuson, Samson Braswell, John Allen, Josiah Hale, Matthew Sellars, Samuel Barger, William Pistole,Joseph Hays, James Stark, Hiram Morris, Joseph Turney, Daniel Ford,Francis Turner, Isaac Turney, Jacob Adams, Henry Powell, Goolsberry Blades, 'Bias Wilson, and Peter Clark. Polly Stanly and Polly Huchens purchased largely, perhaps to sell. The latter on July 17, 1841, was charged $3 for six gallons. Under the same date is this entry: "Three gallons whisky in evening of the election, $1.50." Here are the purchases of one farmer for about seven months of 1844. The buyer's name is withheld, although on the book: April 12, one gallon of brandy, .62½ ; April 17, one gallon of whisky (order), .37½; April 27,one gallon of whisky, .37½ ; May 1, one gallon of whisky, .37½ ; May9, one gallon of whisky, .37½ ; May 23, one gallon of whisky, .37½ ;May 29, one gallon of whisky, .37½ ; June 18, one gallon of whisky,.37½ ; June 27, one gallon of whisky, .37½ ; July 12, one gallon ofwhisky, .37½ ; July 17, one gallon of whisky, .37½ ; August 24, onegallon of whisky, .37½ ; November 6, one gallon of brandy, .40. "

page 51 .... By 1830, however, stocks of goods were no doubt enlarged, and Alexandria may have made the innovation. Dr. Foster writes that "the people of that town were always more dressy than in other parts of the county"; while the writer remembers the remark frequently made by Squire Len F. Woodside just after the War between the States: "Yes,sir, the Petersons don't send to Paris, but to Alexandria, for the latest fashions with which to illustrate their magazine."
But Dr. Wright's daybook indicates that his stock was full enough for a village store. It also indicates that his patrons bought on time; moreover, there is not an item charged at five cents. Joshua Brattenis charged twenty-five cents for half a pound of powder; Col. Abe Overall, $2 for eight pounds of coffee and 12 cents a pound for sugar; Hariette C. Roulstone, 43 cents for two yards of "apron checks"; Thomas Cameron, 75 cents for three yards of domestic; David L. Ray, $1.50 for three yards of calico; Leonard Lamberson, 62 ½ cents for afourth of a pound of tea; John R. Dougherty, 62 ½ cents for a pound of raisins; E. Wright, 12 cents for two dozen eggs; John M. Leake, $1 for a bandanna handkerchief; Irving Gray (hatter), $2.50 for six yards of calico; Jacob Overall, 12 cents for two gimlets; Littleberry Vick,$5.75 for twenty-three yards of homespun; Louis Y. Davis, 25 cents for two pounds of "homemade" (maple) sugar; Col. Abe Overall, $7.50 for a mill saw (probably the straight sort); Elizabeth Overall, $2.25 for a cotton umbrella, "to be paid for in brown jeans"; Liberty Lodge, No.77, "to cash to pay postage, 6 ½ cents"; William Blair, two reap hooks, $1.50; Asia Cooper, one dozen button molds, 6 ½ cents, and onepaper of tacks, 18 ½ cents; W. B. Stokes, four pounds of nails, 50cents; W. G. Stokes, one drab hat, $8.50, one cravat stiffening, 12 ½cents, and one vial oil of cinnamon, 25 cents; Bartimeus Pack, onehymn book, 75 cents; Richard Arnold, one fur hat, $6. Calico was worth50 cents the yard; nutmegs, 6 ¼ cents each. A lady is charged 87 ½cents for three and a half yards of domestic and 60 cents for a pairof cotton hose. T. W. Duncan buys a dozen gun
flints for 6 ½ cents, and John Canler a paper of ink powder for 18 ¾cents. James B. Pistole is charged $8 for "one Tom and Jerry hat";William C. Garrison, $3 "for Webster's speeches"; William B. Stokes,62 ½ cents for "one piano song"; L. H. Bethel, 37 ½ cents to paypostage; Thomas E. Bratten, 75 cents for a gallon of molasses. Thereis a charge of $1.20 for four pounds of loaf sugar. Loaf sugar was inconical packages and came ready wrapped in dark-blue paper. Somewhatpathetic is this charge of eighty-two years ago, "Two boys' balls, 6 ½cents," for one cannot help wondering what came of the boy or boys. Afarmer is credited $2 for twenty-four and a half pounds of butter andanother $2.16 ½ for six and a half pounds of wool.
The leghorn hat was fashionable then and later. Was it also called a"poke" bonnet? A writer in the Liberty Herald in 1892 stated that the"leghorn bonnets were a foot and a half long, more or less, withoutany artificials, simply a plain ribbon drawn across the top and tiedunder the chin."
The Dunstable bonnet was much in vogue. One is charged in thefollowing bill to Miss Elizabeth O. Hall: "One Dunstable bonnet andtrimmings, $6; six yards blk. silk, $6; seven yards calico, $3.50;pair side combs, 12 ½ cents; one best fancy handkerchief, $2; twelvestrands beads, 87 ½ cents; one black bobbinet veil, $2.50; one blackbandanna handkerchief, $1; two and a half yards bobbinet lace, $1.56 ½."
Among the products of the farm in 1832-33 were cheese and flax seed.David Griffith's account was credited with 62 ½ cents for one and aquarter pounds flax seed; and at the time Jordan Sellars was charged$9 for "one fine fur hat," he was credited with 85 cents for eight anda half pounds of cheese.
Since Isaac Whaley's reference to the clothing worn by the foreparentshas been introduced in this chapter, it will be only a seconddigression to quote the words of an old DeKalb Countian who wrote fromMissouri to the Liberty Herald April 6, 1892, of before-the-war days:
For Sunday many of the well-to-do men wore a blue or black broadclothcoat which cost from four to ten dollars a yard. They were usually cutwith a frock or "claw-hammer" tail and rolling collar. The black andwhite satin vest, double-breasted, was worn by the fashionable. Pantswere made very loose and had wide or narrow flaps before, invariably.A black silk cravat, doubled crosswise, was worn around a collar ofuncertain dimensions. The dress described was worn by the fashionable,such as Eli Vick, Jasper Ruyle, Pete Adams, Len Walker, Joseph Clarke,Peter Clark, and others on Sunday. Later Dr. Horace Sneed, Dr. J. S.Harrison, the Hayes boys, the Turners, and the Turneys were theleaders in fashion. Many women sometimes wore silk dresses - notgaudy-colored, but plain black silk. A calico dress was seldom seen.Nearly all dresses were made with two widths of cloth and a gore oneach side. Hoop skirts were as rare among women as drawers among men.All young women wore their dresses fastened behind. No suchinstitution as a corset was thought of. The hair was usually parted inthe middle, a strip bent around each ear, and wound up with a largehorn comb at the back of the head."

Slaves were numerous in the county. Scores of citizens owned from two to a dozen, while a few held a much larger number. The original stock in most instances was brought from the older States by the pioneers.There was not very much trafficking in this species of property in DeKalb County. Of the slave owners adjacent to Liberty, these are recalled with little effort: James Allen, John Stark, W. G. Bratten, Reuben Evans, Francis Turner

Stokes, James Tubb, Isaac Turney, Thomas Stokes, John Bethel, Eli Vick, James Fuston, Joseph Clarke, William Vick, William Sellars, Jasper Ruyle, William Avant, Sampson Williams, Thomas Givan, Peter and Jacob Adams, Leonard Lamberson, the Brazwells, Hayses, Groomses, Roys, and Bates.

IN a history of Kentucky by Prof. N. S. Shaler, who for more than aquarter of a century filled the chair of Agassiz at Harvard University, it is shown that by actual measurement the Tennessee and Kentucky soldiers in the War between the States were the largest in the army and in the world.
DeKalb County has been noted for its large and strong men. Commercial travelers and others have remarked upon the fact. It is safe to say that no county of the same population can show a larger number.
"Big" Bill Evans, once county trustee, weighed in his prime about two hundred and seventy-five pounds. Mrs. Matilda Huggins, his sister, weighed probably more. William B. Preston was about the size of Evans,and his mother weighed about three hundred pounds. Fox Frazier (hog trader), his brother Henry, John Parker (of Dismal Creek), Col.

Colonel Blackburn was born in Wilson County, near Cottage Home, in 1842, his father having come from NorthCarolina. He married Miss Jennie Barger, of Liberty, in 1861. His Company (A), of Stokes's Regiment, elected himcaptain at the age of eightee n. As shown, he raised a regiment after resigning from the Fifth Cavalry. He wasin quite a number of battles and skirmishes, receiving one wound--probably made by Oscar Woolworth, a Federal--while a wattle was on with Morgan's men at Liberty. After t he war he was delegated to the Constitutional Conventionat Nashville, but refused to sign the schedule because of the poll tax provision as a qualification for voters.He was also United States marshal for the middle district of the State. Shortly afte r the war he, with others,created a sensation Nashville by attacking and wounding Gen. Joseph Wheeler. Colonel Blackburn died in May, 1913.
In Goodspeed's history of the State (biographical section) this statement is made: "Colonel Blackburnwas in several battles, the most important of which were Nashville, Chattanooga, Snow's Hill, and Milton. ... Healso cleared of guerrillas White, Pu tnam, DeKalb, and Jackson Counties by capturing Champe Ferguson, after whicheven Rebel sympathizers felt more secure. He is said to have been in two hundred and seventeen engagements, inall of which he was successful. He was wounded at Liberty." In t he same history it is stated that in 1864R. B. Blackwell's guerrillas made a raid into Shelbyville, Tenn. The depot was guarded by twelve of Blackburn'stroops, who were captured, escorted into the country, and shot. Were these members of Company A? Blackburn's Companieswere:

Ruth: I found your website through Find-a-Grave memorial page for Isaac Turner - he was the brother of my ancestor, Francis Turner who m. Mary Ashworth and died in Ellis Co. TX.
Your website is great and I especially appreciate the old photos - I have "borrowed" some to add to the family tree I have on Ancestry.com (McElroy and Odom Tree) It is still very much a work in progress...
Again, thannks for the great research and for sharing!

Hi LaVerne!
So sorry to take so long to get back with you. Just not enough hours in the day....
Very nice to meet another Turner "cousin"! I have met several cousins online for other ancestors, but never for Turners.
I have oodles of documents and a few pix of Isaac and his wife Sarah, if you are interested. I'd be happy to send them to you. Anything you have, I'd love to trade! I also have Isaac's Civil War Pension file. Also a few "scraps" of his Bible, not easy to read, but I have transcribed them.
I will try to get all my images and docs up to my Picasa Web Albums site today. You are most welcome to download any you need!
Very nice to meet you and please write back!

!Usage
<<<
{{{
<<cloud type action:... limit:... tag tag tag ...>>
<<cloud type action:... limit:... +TiddlerName>>
<<cloud type action:... limit:... -TiddlerName>>
<<cloud type action:... limit:... =tagvalue>>
}}}
where:
* //type// is a keyword, one of:
** ''tags'' (default) - displays a cloud of tags, based on frequency of use
** ''links'' - displays a cloud of tiddlers, based on number of links //from// each tiddler
** ''references'' - displays a cloud of tiddlers, based on number of links //to// each tiddler
* ''action:popup'' (default) - clicking a cloud item shows a popup with links to related tiddlers<br>//or//<br> ''action:goto'' - clicking a cloud item immediately opens the tiddler corresponding to that item
* ''limit:N'' (optional) - restricts the cloud display to only show the N most popular tags/links
* ''tag tag tag...'' (or ''title title title'' if ''links''/''references'' is used)<br>shows all tags/links in the document //except// for those listed as macro parameters
* ''+TiddlerName''<br>show only tags/links read from a space-separated, bracketed list stored in a separate tiddler.
* ''-TiddlerName''<br>show all tags/links //except// those read from a space-separated, bracketed list stored in a separate tiddler.
* ''=tagvalue'' (//only if type=''tags''//)<br>shows only tags that are themselves tagged with the indicated tag value (i.e., ~TagglyTagging usage)
//note: for backward-compatibility, you can also use the macro {{{<<tagCloud ...>>}}} in place of {{{<<cloud ...>>}}}//
<<<

{{{<<cloud -FavoriteTags>>}}}
{{groupbox{<<cloud -FavoriteTags>>}}}
//links to tiddlers tagged with 'package'//
{{{<<cloud action:goto =package>>}}}
{{groupbox{<<cloud action:goto =package>>}}}
//top 20 most referenced tiddlers//
{{{<<cloud references limit:20>>}}}

<<<
!Revisions
<<<
2009.07.17 [1.7.0] added {{{-TiddlerName}}} parameter to exclude tags that are listed in the indicated tiddler
2009.02.26 [1.6.0] added {{{action:...}}} parameter to apply popup vs. goto action when clicking cloud items
2009.02.05 [1.5.0] added ability to show links or back-links (references) instead of tags and renamed macro to {{{<<cloud>>}}} to reflect more generalized usage.
2008.12.16 [1.4.2] corrected group calculation to prevent 'group=0' error
2008.12.16 [1.4.1] revised tag filtering so excluded tags don't affect calculations
2008.12.15 [1.4.0] added {{{limit:...}}} parameter to restrict the number of tags displayed to the top N most popular
2008.11.15 [1.3.0] added {{{+TiddlerName}}} parameter to include only tags that are listed in the indicated tiddler
2008.09.05 [1.2.0] added '=tagname' parameter to include only tags that are themselves tagged with the specified value (i.e., ~TagglyTagging usage)
2008.07.03 [1.1.0] added 'segments' property to macro object. Extensive code cleanup
