DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) (NOWLIN) OF GOOCHLAND COUNTY VIRGINIA, 1740 & ALBEMARLE COUNTY VIRGINIA, 1744.

Some Descendants of WILLIAM NOWLAND.

WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) (NOWLIN) is the father of JOHN, THOMAS, WILLIAM and possibly AGNES NOWLAND (NOLEN) STOVALL born on 18 May 1753. It is also likely that JOSEPH NOLAND who was killed by Native-Americans around the year 1783 within sight of Armstrong's Fort or Station at Nashville was a relative of WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) (NOWLIN). The THOMAS NOLAND who died near Armstrong's Fort or Station at Nashville in the fall of 1783 was noted as an old man on page 459 of the Annals of Tennessee, and he also was probably a relative to WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) (NOWLIN). A 17 January 2009 e-mail from WAYNE NOLAN of New Zealand lists the children of THOMAS NOLAN (O'HUALLACHAIN) and AGNES MARTIN from Ballinrobe Co. Mayo Ireland as having seven children: GREGORY, JOHN, CEACILLA, ANNIE, JAMES, THOMAS, and JOSEPH. It is probable that JOHN NOWLIN of Isle of Wight Co. Virginia, 1643 was of this extended NOLAN family from Ireland.

This family became early Cumberland settlers either having migrated to that region of Tennessee in 1779-80 or 1780-83. Some members of this family began changing the spelling of their last name in the late 1780's or early 1790's to NOLEN. Although, there are still many spelling variations in this family of the name: NOLEN.

HISTORY OF DAVIDSON CO. TN.

P. 25.

"It might be said of the entire body of Cumberland settlers that as people they were superlatively brave, enterprising, and spirited, and in hardihood and endurance were never surpassed. The full force of this remark will be felt when the fact is stated and properly appreciated that in the year 1783 there were not two hundred men capable of bearing arms in the Cumberland settlements, while at any time there could have been brought into the field against them, from a distance not over two hundred miles at the farthest, the full strength of the Cherokee and Creek nations, numbering not less than ten thousand warriors in a state of deep hostility, and at liberty to select the time and mode of attack. It is confidently believed that few people have encountered greater difficulties in founding a new community. Their record of heroic endurance has few parallels; their tasks were Herculean." (1)

P. 52.

"Early in the year [1783] commissioners appointed by the State of North Carolina to lay off lands for Revolutionary soldiers, and examine claims for pre-emption rights by the Cumberland settlers, arrived at Nashborough accompanied by a guard of one hundred soldiers. The advent of this large force gave hope of better security from Indian depredations, but in this the people were disappointed. These soldiers limited their services to the duty of guarding the commissioners while engaged in their surveys." (2)

"Many murders and outrages were committed [by the Native-American population] even during the presence of the soldiers in the country." (3)

P. 54.

"An attack was made in the vicinity of Sutherland Mayfield's Station [in the year 1789] which deserves to have a place in these pages. This station was on the west fork of Mill creek, and about a mile above Brown's. A force of ten or twelve Indians made their appearance near this station, but made no direct attack, which would no doubt have been successful as the men were some distance off building a wolf-pen. Mayfield, his two sons, and Mr. Joslin were busily at work, leaving a soldier to guard their guns a little way off and keep a lookout. The latter inexcusably left his post, when the Indians dashed in between the whites and their guns, and opened at the same time a destructive fire upon them. Mayfield and one of his sons and the soldier were killed, and the other son George, was captured and taken to Creek Nation, where he remained ten or twelve years." (4)

WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOWLAN) (NOWLIN) of Goochland Co. VA, 1740 and Albemarle Co. VA, 1744 is believed to have been a *surveyor, an important profession in those days. His sons JOHN and WILLIAM reportedly surveyed land in the North Carolina line during the Revolutionary War. That land would have been given to military personnel after the war as compensation.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

* There is suggestive evidence that surveying was family tradition up to the beginning of the Civil War. Dennis Billings, a John Graham researcher, states, “John Graham was a Tennessee Surveyor as was JAMES NOWLIN. NOLEN’S came out of Franklin Co. Virginia son of Surveyors WILLIAM and PATRICK. NOLEN’S were among the first hundred families in Tennessee for the reason that they were connected to the task of surveying the land. LOUIS NOLEN, of Arkansas, was apparently a Mississippi Surveyor, surveying up and down the Mississippi River from 1820-1860. He surveyed the township of Columbus, Illinois in 1820 near St. Louis. He was one half Native-American." (5) Given that THOMAS NOWLAND (NOWLAN'S) brother WILLIAM, and his son JOHN, were the surveyor of record for what is now Nolensville, TN it is a good possibility that LOUIS NOLEN is related to this family.

Further evidence supporting a tradition of surveying in this NOLEN family is listed below. On 17 October 1812, GENERAL LEE NOLEN is the surveyor of record for the partition and division of land in Williamson Co. TN. GENERAL LEE NOLEN was the son of WILLIAM NOLEN and DELILAH CANTRELL. WILLIAM NOLEN was the brother to THOMAS (NOWLAND) NOLEN, 1745-1787, and the uncle of THOMAS NOLEN born 1785, Davidson Co. TN dying 1850-1860 Lauderdale Co. AL.

On 13 September 1838, DAVID NOLEN, son of JOHN NOLEN born 1744, was called upon to decide the lines of lands in litigation, which is indicative of a proficiency in the task of surveying. JOHN NOLEN was the brother of THOMAS NOLEN born 1745 dying after 1 January 1787 in TN. JOHN NOLEN was appointed guardian of MICAJAH NOLEN, THOMAS NOLEN and LUCY NOLEN, orphans of THOMAS NOLEN. My third great grandfather, HARDEN NOLEN, of Lauderdale Co. AL, is the son of THOMAS NOLEN, ward of JOHN NOLEN, born 1744, and the grandson of THOMAS NOLEN who died after 1 January 1787 in TN. I can, therefore, safely conclude that my third great grandfather HARDEN (NOWLIN) NOLEN, of Lauderdale Co. AL, was probably proficient in the task of surveying the land since his father THOMAS NOLEN was the ward of JOHN NOLEN, born 1744, whose son DAVID NOLEN was “appointed to lay off Wheaton's part of the Fergus land” in Williamson Co. TN. (6) This quote is from the below 13 September 1838 deposition of DAVID NOLEN recorded in the Miscellaneous Records of Williamson Co. TN.

MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS WILLIAMSON CO. TN.

"Deposition of DAVID NOLEN - 69 years old: 13 September 1838, I was one of the commissioners appointed to lay off Wheaton's part of the Fergus land. I showed William Wilkerson the line and corner of the tract. I went with him on horseback near the place, there was brush cut down and I stopped and directed him where to go to the stump that was the stump of the corner tree. George Shannon was one of the men that made the corner. John Wilson showed me a place and tried to make me believe it was his corner. I knowed it was not the corner that we made. I understood Wilkerson and John Wilson had a dispute over the line and ran another line. Wilkerson told me Wilson got further west than the corner. He said he would not dis- pute no more about a little strip of land. I heard Wilson got Oliver Williams to run the other line. The old line was east of a forked poplar that stood near the old shop and, nearly south from a cole house in a flat nearly level piece of ground. George Shannon, James Shannon, Jason Wilson, Arthur Pierce and I were appointed by the court to lay off the Wheaton portion of land. We were sworn as commissioners by Esqr. Thomas Edmondsonn at the corner of Holt's field where we started." (7)

Paul Melchior, a biologist in Minnesota, states in three e-mails dated 10 August 2005 that "during the course of my research into native plant habitats I ran across the name of U. S. Government surveyor named HARDIN NOWLIN. That is the spelling he used when signing documents located at the Minnesota State Capitol. He worked on the general land office survey during the mid-1850's in Minnesota." (8)

Paul Melchior continued with the following: "He was only one of many U. S. Deputy Surveyors to work in this area. It may be useful in the future to know at least one of the areas he and his crew surveyed is now northern Hennepin County, in which Minneapolis resides. The field notebook for this area is in the Minnesota Secretary of State's restricted access holdings at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul. It is volume 301 (internal) for Township 119N Range 21 West of the fifth principle meridian. By the way, his handwriting was superb!

Although you may not be certain he is your ancestor, I cannot imagine many surveyor families with someone named HARDIN NOWLIN - seems awfully coincidental. It doesn't surprise me that he was so far from 'home'. My understanding is that many of these guys were somewhat itinerant in that they went where the work was. In the 1850's, that meant the northern Mid-west. My interest in him is really unrelated to my project, but I found a strange connection after reading his own hand. Two of my colleagues and I are restoring an area of our campus to it's pre-settlement vegetational conditions. That would be circa 1850. The earliest description of the property (and this is often the case in Minnesota) comes from the field notes of the GLO surveyors. They noted information on timber resources, soil, and often cited specific trees to be used as 'flags' to help future land agents find the section monuments. Thus, biologists can develop a sort of forensic analysis of the vegetation based on this 'bearing tree' information. Entire maps have been created using this, including a famous one by Marschner (c. 1930) of Minnesota's Original Vegetation. I've attached a PDF file of a database. While his name is not in it, you can be certain that HARDIN unwittingly contributed to a great resource for 21st century scientists! Finally, and this is the poetic part, we began planting the area that he surveyed on July 2 of this summer. When I checked the date on which Mr. NOWLIN surveyed that stretch, it was July 2, 1855, one-hundred fifty years before - to the day! You can't make stuff like that up." (9)

There is a HARDEN NOWLIN listed as a 58 year old white male in the 1860 Cleveland Co. North Carolina census: Series: M653 Roll: 893 Page: 758. The stated occupation of this HARDEN NOWLIN is a Grocery Keeper. And there are two HARDIN NOWLIN'S of Dubuque Co. Iowa. HARDEN NOLIN (NOWLIN) was born in Illinois, 1804. This HARDIN NOWLIN was appointed one of the commissioners in an “Act to re-locate the county seat of Clayton county” on 15 February 1843. (10) “In April, 1845, two of the commissioners, HARDIN NOWLIN, of Dubuque County, and David Moreland, of Delaware County, met, pursuant to an “act to re-locate the county seat of Clayton County, and selected the north half of southeast quarter, section 18, township 93, north of range 3, west 5th principal meridian, and names it Jacksonville.” (11) The above two quotes are from Iowa State Gazetteer: 1865, Clayton Co.

HARDEN NOWLIN House - 614 Washington St. Waterloo, Iowa.

“Mr. NOWLIN was chosen one of the Representatives from Dubuque County to the Legislative Assembly which met at Belmont in October of that year [1836]. When the Territory of Iowa was created in 1838, Mr. NOWLIN was again elected to its First Legislative Assembly which convened in Burlington in November. He thus participated in the framing and enactment of the first laws extended over Iowa citizens. He died at Waterloo in 1892.

HARDIN NOWLIN was born at Sharpsburg, Maryland, April 1, 1829. He received a liberal education and when quite young began the study of law. He graduated from the Law Department of the Transylvania University of Kentucky in 1850 and the following year removed to Iowa, making his home at Keosauqua. In 1852 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney and in 1854 chief clerk of the House of the Fifth General Assembly at Iowa City. In 1856 he was Secretary of the Senate. He was a delegate to the State Convention of that year which organized the Republican party of Iowa and served as one of the secretaries. In 1860 he was a delegate to the Republican National Convention at Chicago which nominated Abraham Lincoln. At the State Convention the same year he was nominated for Attorney-General of Iowa and elected, serving four years.” (12) The above quote is from the Iowa History Project.

Paul Melchior states “this Iowa HARDIN NOWLIN went to college and law school, became a lawyer - all in the 1850's. He was then a politician. [It] doesn't seem likely that he spent time as a surveyor.” (13) HARDEN NOLIN (NOWLIN) born in Illinois during the year 1804 was also involved in the political system in Iowa. It does seem unlikely that this father and son was the HARDEN NOWLIN surveyor of record in Minnesota 1855-57. It is a reasonable assumption, therefore, that HARDIN NOWLIN, surveyor of record in Minnesota, is my third great grandfather HARDEN (NOWLIN) NOLEN, of Lauderdale Co. Alabama.

The descendancy line of the Iowa HARDIN NOWLIN'S is believed to be the following: HARDEN NOLIN was born in Illinois, 1804 residing in Dubuque Co. Iowa, 1836-38; LEWIS or LOUIS NOWLIN, born about the year 1762, of St. Clair Co., Illinois; and JOHN ISAAC KNOWLIN, born about the year 1717 in Wexford Co. Ireland.

Fifth great grandfather, THOMAS NOLAN'S, also reportedly died in the same area of Tennessee after 1 January 1787. A deposition by John Marion of Bedford Co. TN on 22 June 1824 places the death of my fifth great grandfather in September 1785.

JAMES MAYFIELD.

Deposition of John Marion of Bedford County, aged 64 years, dated 22 June 1824:

"I knew Sutherland Mayfield upwards of 2 years before his death in 1789. I knew John Haggard about 5 or 6 years before his death in 1793 [sic]. I came to this country in September 1785. THOMAS NOLIN was killed a few days after I came to this country." (14)

"Between Marget Gibson administratrix of Sutherlin Mayfield deceased of Davidson County and territory South of Ohio of one part and MICAJAH NOLIN and THOMAS heirs of THOMAS NOLIN deceased of said County and territory aforesaid of the other part. Witnesseth that for in consideration of the sum of one hundred dollars to him, the said Sutherlin Mayfield in hand paid, the reciept whereof is hereby acknowledged, hath bargained and by these presents, do grant bargain, sell, alien and confirm unto the heirs of the said THOMAS their heirs and assigns forever, a certain tract or parcel of land containing one hundred acres, situate lying and being in said County on the waters of Mill creek in the North East corner of a tract of land granted to Sutherlin Mayfield assignee of Robert Morrison warrant No. 641 Grant bearing date March 7, 1786." (15)

Armstrong's Fort was an exposed settlement or station near Fort Nashborough that attracted Chickamaugan, militant Cherokee who had splintered off from the main tribe, raiding parties, which were not uncommon during this period. The below historical map of Davidson Co. TN places the location of the tract of land JOHN NOLEN (NOWLIN) (NOWLAND) occupied on the waters of Brown creek during 1789 adjacent to Armstrong's Fort or Station and Barton’s Fort or Station.

JOHN NOWLAND -- NC -- Oct 31, 1789.

This indenture made 10 Sept 1789 between FRANCIS ARMSTRONG of one part and JOHN NOWLAND of other part, both of Davidson County. FRANCIS ARMSTRONG conveyed unto JOHN NOWLAND tract of land on the South side of Cumberland River on the waters of Browns Creek adjoining SAMUEL BARTON'S Preemption on the South side it being the land occupied by JOHN NOLEN whereon he lives. Said land containing 137 acres. Proven by BENJAMIN BONDS and SAMUEL BARTON. Oct Term 1789.

"The peace which for several months had been maintained was now broken, and the fury of the savages was again upon the settlement, Roger TOP was killed and Roger GLASS wounded at Rains' Station, in Waverly Place. William, Joseph and Daniel DUNHAM, were all killed, while prospecting on Richland Creek, and Joshua NORRINGTON and Joel MILLS soon thereafter met a like fate. Patsy, daughter of John RAINES, with Betsy WILLIAMS behind her, was riding on horseback in West Nashville when they were fired upon and the latter killed. Miss RAINES escaped uninjured and fled in safety to the bluff. Joseph NOLAN lost his life while alone in the woods, and a while thereafter his father, THOMAS NOLAN, was also killed." (16)

A short time afterwards, near the same place JOSEPH NOLAND was killed; and during the same summer; a son of THOMAS NOLAND; and during the fall the old man, himself, were also killed near this same place. About the same time, the Indians killed the father of Betsey Williams above mentioned.” (17)

THOMAS NOWLAND (NOWLAN) (NOWLIN) and his family could have made “the overland and river treks from upper East Tennessee to the Cumberland River bluffs in Middle Tennessee, where Nashville was founded in 1779-80” (19) or they may have been “pioneers who arrived at French Lick/Big Salt Lick/Nashborough at the same time or on the heels of the Robertson and Donelson parties in 1779-80." (20) Francis or Frank Armstrong and his family are listed as one of the Founding Families of Nashville, 1779-80. “Theodore Roosevelt described the 1779-80 voyage of the Good Boat Adventure and accompanying 33-boat flotilla in his Winning of the West: "The voyage of John Donelson and his party down the Tennessee River, and up the Cumberland, is one of the most thrilling in history. . .In its political and historical consequences, it was one of the eventful occasions in the life of this nation, being equal in importance to the settlement of Jamestown or the landing at Plymouth Rock." (21) The above three quotes are from Founding Families in Nashville, Tennessee, 1779-80.

JOHN NOLEN was a soldier in the Commissioners Guard during the Revolutionary War, which laid out land for officers in the North Carolina Line. For his service, he was granted land (250 acres) in the North Carolina Territory on 15 December 1792. He had migrated to the Tennessee area from Virginia around 1790 and records indicate that he helped erect a public building in Jonesboro the oldest town in Tennessee during the period 1791-1793. With his North Carolina Grant #110 dated 28 February 1796, he moved west into what is now the 16th District of Williamson Co. Tennessee. It is believed he is buried on his brother, WILLIAM'S, farm in Nolensville. This farm in Nolensville is now known as the Wescot-McCord farm of Nolensville.

JOHN, THOMAS, & WILLIAM NOLEN, born NOWLAND, (NOLAND), or (NOWLIN) in Albemarle Co. VA, 1744, 1745, and 1760, respectively, migrated to the western lands of North Carolina, now TN, either before or during the Revolutionary War. AGNES NOLEN, born 1753, and her spouse (BARTHOLOMEW STOVALL) also migrated to the western lands of NC, now TN, and had two sons killed by Native-Americans near present day Nashville, TN.

JOHN NOWLAND, NOLEN (1744-17 Oct 1811) married ANNE GOOLSBY (1746-1813) in 1764. They had five children:

• AGGEY or AGNES NOLEN STOVALL: Born, (1764).
• * JOHN GOOLSBY NOLEN.
• SALLY NOLEN DUFFY.
• DAVID NOLEN: (1769-13 Oct 1839).
• LITTLEBERRY NOLEN: (13 Oct 1777-Apr 1850).

* There is record of a GOALSBY NOLEN marrying RACHAL GILLILAND, the daughter of THOMAS GILLILAND (1750-1814) and PRICILLA HUFF, on 4 January 1812 in Hardin Co. Kentucky. An entry at Family Search has this marriage occurring in Hardin Co. TN. A 70 year old RACHEL NOLEN is living with JOHN and CARMALEET (NOLEN) COOPER * in 1860 Gravelly Springs, Lauderdale Co. AL. CARMALEET (NOLEN) COOPER may have been the niece of RACHAL (GILLILAND) NOLEN since her father was appointed the ward of JOHN NOLEN, father of JOHN GOOLSBY NOLEN.

"My name is Steve Cooper and I live in Cloverdale, Lauderdale County, Alabama, about 5 miles from the TN / AL state line and about 11 miles north of Florence, Alabama. I have been doing family tree for some 26 years. I am not far from where Nolan and Nolen families were in the 1800's."

"Recently a friend (David Montgomery) and I found an old cemetery that has very old headstones. I am writing each of you because I thought you would be interested in our find. David Montgomery has a website called cemeteriesonly.com In this old cemterery we found markers for:

Martha R. Poulk, wife of J. A. 16 Jan 1836-- 24 Dec. 1858 (Poulk on headstone) (Joshua Paulk, her husband is buried at Austin Cemetery about 1 mile north of this cemetery on the same county road)

Records indicate that the western land of North Carolina, now TN, was a destination for settlers in the 1760's and 1770's. In 1780-81, JOHN was in Washington Co. NC now TN. In 1796, JOHN and WILLIAM NOWLAND were in Carter Co. TN. They later migrated to Davidson Co. TN before settling on Mill Creek in Williamson Co. TN.

THOMAS NOWLAND, my fifth great grandfather, is also in Washington Co. NC, now TN, in 1786. His name is spelled NOLLIN'S in those records. He later migrates to Davidson Co. TN and is killed by Native-Americans, probably Cherokee or Chickasaw, after 1 Jan 1787, according to the 1770-1790 Census of the Cumberland Settlements.

According to the book, First Families of TN, THOMAS NOLAND was born circa 1745 in Albemarle Co. VA, died 1787 Davidson Co. TN, married ANNE (unknown), settled Davidson 1783: proof son killed by Native-Americans.

ANNE NOWLAND returns the Administration of her husband’s estate in July 1788, she also returns the Administration of another relative, ROBERT NOWLAND in April 1788.

Prior to his death, THOMAS NOWLAND bought a tract of land assigned to Sutherlin Mayfield on the waters of Mill Creek, which is then deeded to his son's THOMAS and MICAJAH on 5 May 1795. This land is reportedly in Davidson Co. TN, but it is possible that it later became a part of Williamson Co. TN.

CHICKASAW PEOPLE AND THEIR HISTORIC HOMELAND.

"While the Chickasaw Indians lived primarily in northern Mississippi during historic times, their extensive land claims included parts of northern Alabama, West and parts of Middle Tennessee, and western Kentucky. Those Tennessee and Kentucky claims were primarily for hunting grounds.

Chickasaw claims overlapped Cherokee claims in Middle Tennessee. Chickasaw land was roughly bounded by the Ohio River in western Kentucky, south with the east side of the Mississippi River through Tennessee into Mississippi to approximately the 34th or 33rd parallel, south-eastward with the northern boundary of their often-unfriendly Choctaw neighbors and into Alabama and to Creek Country, then northward to the Tennessee River. The easternmost border of their land claim ran to the Chickasaw Old Fields, near Chickasaw Island on the Tennessee River east of Muscle Shoals, almost directly south of today's Huntsville, Alabama. Here the Chickasaw lands met and overlapped the Cherokee lands. Their claim meandered north and west -- including some parts of the Elk River and Duck River -- through western Middle Tennessee -- where much of this land was also claimed by the Cherokee -- and finally running to the Ohio River." (22) The above quote is from Chickasaw People and Their Historic Homeland.

NOLIN, THOMAS - Died before 11 July 1797 when John NOLIN was appointed guardian of MICAJAH NOLIN, THOMAS NOLIN and LUCY NOLIN, orphans of THOMAS NOLIN, deceased. (Dav. TN, Co Ct Min. B/413).

GUARDIANSHIP OF THOMAS, MICAJAH, AND LUCY NOLEN.
DAVIDSON COUNTY TN COURT MINUTES, 1787.

JOHN NOLEN was appointed guardian of MICAJAH, THOMAS, and LUCY NOLEN, Davidson County Court Minutes B/413. Presumably, he was appointed guardian after the death of his brother THOMAS NOWLAND. According to Williamson Co. TN Marriage Records all three siblings were married in 1807-1808.

NOLIN, MICAJAH - Was an orphan boy aged about 14 years when he was bound 10 July 1799 to John STUART until age 18 to learn the trade of a flax and cotton wheel right. (Dav TN, Co Ct Min, C/177).

Some researchers have LUCY NOLEN born 28 Feb 1791 in South Carolina. Either they or I have this Lucy NOLEN confused. The following documentation proves her relationship to this family.

GOODSPEED'S HISTORY OF WASHINGTON CO. TENNESSEE: PART ONE.

"In May, 1788, the Franklin government had ceased to exist, and the courts of Davis were held unmolested. At that time John Hammer, William Pursley, Robert Love and William Moore, commissioners appointed by the preceding General Assembly of North Carolina to select a sight for a prison and stocks, reported that they were of the opinion that Jonesboro was the most convenient place. From this it may be inferred that it had been the intention of the General Assembly to remove the seat of justice from Jonesboro, that place having become obnoxious on account of its adherence to Gov. Sevier. The excitement and ill feeling had somewhat subsided at this time, however, and after hearing the above report, the court ordered that JOHN NOLAN be paid 25 pounds in part for completing the public buildings at Jonesboro." (23)

WILLIAM NOLEN is credited with founding Nolensvile TN. His son JOHN was appointed commissioner to mark Nolensville corporate limits in Williamson Co. TN in 1837. (Acts of TN)

WILLIAM NOWLAND, NOLEN'S name appears as a soldier of the Revolutionary War (North Carolina Revolutionary Soldiers, Sailors, Patriots and Descendants Vols. I & II)- (RS-Pvt-NC).

CHARLES CAMPBELL, my step fifth great grandfather, married ANNE NOWLAND in Davidson Co., TN, 1791. Her husband, THOMAS NOWLAND, had been killed by Native-Americans.

From around 1800 to 1820, I have THOMAS NOLEN as living in Williamson Co. TN among the JOHN and WILLIAM NOLEN'S of Williamson Co. TN. And in 1830, I believe THOMAS NOLEN and his family was still living in Williamson Co. due to the fact that Capt. THOMAS NOLEN is mentioned in the descriptions of boundaries for the Williamson Co. TN 1836 District Map. The reference to Captain THOMAS NOLEN in 1836 indicates involvement in the Second Seminole (Florida) War, 1835-43.

There is a NOLAND family living in Hardin Co. TN adjacent to Wayne Co. TN and Lauderdale Co. AL in 1830, and there is a listing for a THOMAS NOLEN in the 1830 Madison Co. TN census. Madison Co. TN is two counties west and one county north of Lauderdale Co. AL. Captain THOMAS NOLEN of Williamson Co. TN, 1836, however, is a perfect fit with the military involvement of my fourth great grandfather from Williamson Co. in the War of 1812.

THE VICKERS FAMILY RESOURCE PAGE.
ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF GREENBERRY VICKERS.
THOMAS VICKERS: BORN 1761 IN NORTH CAROLINA DYING 1819-20 HANCOCK CO. GEORGIA.

Knowledgeable VICKERS researchers have placed GREENBERRY VICKERS in the family of THOMAS VICKERS, Sr. and his wife SARAH of Hancock Co. GA. THOMAS VICKERS was born 1761 or later in the decade before 1770. He is listed on the 1790 Rowan Co. NC Census, and SARAH, his wife, is listed in the 1830 Hancock Co. GA Census. THOMAS VICKERS - 3/11/1784 - Certificate of GREENBERRY LEE, Col. - petitioner prays bounty in Washington Co. GA. - from the book "Georgia's Roster of the Revolution." THOMAS VICKERS, Sr. died in Hancock Co. GA about 1819-20. He married SARAH RAY in GA, 1782.

THOMAS VICKERS, Sr. may indeed be the father of GREENBERRY, however, there may be other possible progenitors of this VICKERS family. The children of GREENBERRY VICKERS and ELIZABETH "BETSY" LINDSEY married into the NOLEN and FULKS families of Tennessee. CYNTHIA VICKERS born about the year 1824 married HARDEN NOLEN on 16 May 1845 in Lauderdale Co. AL, EDWARD W. VICKERS born about the year 1826 married JANE FULKS on 21 Jan 1846 in Lauderdale Co. AL, and NANCY C. VICKERS born about the year 1816-17 married J. WILLIAM FULKS, born between 1805-10 in TN, on 3 Sep 1840 in Lauderdale Co. AL. Their daughter, MAHALA C. "HALEY" FULKS born 16 Feb 1846 married about the year 1861 to IRA BLUFORD THIGPEN, CSA, born 10 Aug 1836. MAHALA C. "HALEY" FULKS and IRA BLUFORD THIGPEN were born in Lexington, Lauderdale Co. AL dying in Lauderdale Co. AL. Lauderdale Co. AL land records also place BEDFORD VICKERS as a possible descendant of GREENBERRY VICKERS. I have, therefore, included below a possible VICKERS family migration from Lincoln Co. NC to TN and AL. It is reasonable to assume that the descendants of these TN VICKERS migrated South into Indian lands as it became available as did the TN NOLEN and FULKS families.

GRAVELLY SPRINGS, ALABAMA.

"The new year of 1865 saw hard times in Lauderdale and Colbert Co., Ala. after Union Maj. James H. Wilson established a camp at Gravelly Springs which has since been known as the "largest cavalry force ever massed in the western hemisphere". Civilians had been the target of repeated raids, and supplies had been scarce for some time. The county was clearly not able to sustain such an encampment. The one thing the area did have was water in abundance for which the community took its name.

Union Sgt. Will Pepper recorded their Christmas dinner (1864) was devoid of all delicacies, "Backbone and grit is a good substitute when hardtack and pork fail... It was a wonder we found hog and hominy enough to keep body and soul together in that land of poor whites with neither turkeys nor chickens..." There is little wonder the people of Lauderdale county were destitute with an encampment of approximately 27,000 men in their midst who routinely made raids which were recorded in Sgt. Pepper's diary." (26) The above quote is from http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Quarter/2926/Local_History.html.

HARDEN NOLEN is listed as having served in the 11th Alabama Cavalry Regiment, also known as the 10th Alabama (Burtwell's) Cavalry Regiment, CSA, Company K and I as a Private. Two of the companies formed were from Lauderdale County, Alabama.

TENTH ALABAMA CAVALRY REGIMENT.

"The Tenth Alabama Cavalry was organized in the winter, 1863-1864, to constitute part of General Philip Dale Roddey's command. Richard O. Pickett of Lauderdale was the colonel, and the men were from the northern Alabama counties (across the Tennessee River). They were first stationed at Mount Hope and were then assigned to Roddey in the District of North Alabama, Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The services of the regiment were confined in a great measure to outpost operations in the Tennessee valley, though it participated in the Pulaski raid, and other encounters and forays. They disbanded in the spring of 1865.

Field officers: Col. Richard Orrick Pickett; Lt. Col. John R. Powell; Major W. P. Wrenn; and Adjutant E. T. Johnson...

ELEVENTH ALABAMA CAVALRY REGIMENT.

Also known as the 10th Alabama (Burtwell's) Cavalry Regiment. The nucleus of this regiment was a command that served for some time under Col. Jeffrey E. Forrest, Forrest's Cavalry Regiment, also called the 4th Cavalry Regiment. The command was increased to a regiment, and re-organized by transferring 4 Tennessee companies to the 18th Tennessee Cavalry and by sending 5 Alabama companies to Warren's and Moreland's cavalry battalions. The 11th Alabama Cavalry Regiment was organized by the consolidation of Warren's and William's cavalry battalions on 14 January 1865, comprising men from Franklin, Lauderdale, Limestone, and Morgan counties. It was with Forrest in the attack on Athens and Sulphur Trestle, and in the fight at Pulaski, losing very severely in casualties on the expedition. The regiment rendered effective service to Gen. Hood. It was part of Philip Dale Roddy's force at Montevallo, and was in front of Union Gen'l James Wilson's column to Selma; At the assault on the works there, the Eleventh was in the trenches, and nearly all its men retired therefrom, as the part of the line held by them was not assailed. The regiment laid down its arms at Decatur.

Field and staff officers: Col. John Robertson Bedford Burtwell (Lauderdale); Lt. Col. John F. Doan (MS); Major Melville W. Sale; and Adjutant David H. Halsey (Franklin)." (27)

FIRST ALABAMA INFANTRY REGIMENT.

"This was the first regiment organized under the act of the State legislature authorizing the enlistment of troops for twelve months. The companies rendezvoused at Pensacola in February and March 1861, and about the 1st of April organized by the election of regimental officers. Transferred to the army of the Confederate States soon after, it remained on duty at Pensacola for a year. It was chiefly occupied in manning the batteries and took part in the bombardments of November 23, and January 1, 1862. A detachment was in the night fight on Santa Rosa Island. Being the oldest regiment in the Confederate service, it was first called on to re-enlist for the war, at the end of the first year, and seven of the companies did so. Ordered to Tennessee, the regiment, 1000 strong, reached Island Ten March 12, 1862. In the severe conflict there, all but a remnant of the regiment were captured. Those who escaped were organized into a battalion, which was part of the garrision at Fort Pillow, and afterwards fought at Corinth. Those captured were exchanged in September, and the regiment rendezvoused at Jackson, Miss., having lost 150 by death in prison, 150 by casualties since and during the siege of Island Ten. At once ordered to Port Hudson, they participated in the privations of that siege. They were captured, after losing 150 killed and wounded. The privates were paroled and the officers kept in prison till the peace. The men were exchanged in the fall, and joined Gen. Johnston in Mississippi, 610 strong. The regiment was then at Mobile and Pollard, and joined Gen. Johnston at Alatoona. In Cantey's brigade, it fought at New Hope, and was afterwards transferred to the brigade of Gen. Quarles, in which it served till the end. It participated at Kennesa, and lost considerably at Peach Tree Creek. In the terrible assault on the enemy's lines at Atlanta, July 28, the regiment won fresh renown, but lost half of its force in killed and wounded. Moving with Hood into Tennessee, it again lost very heavily at Franklin and Nashville. Transferred to North Carolina, it took part at Averysboro and Bentonville, and about 100 men surrendered at Goldsboro. Upwards of 3000 names were on its rolls at different times during the war, including the companies that did not re-enlist." (28)

After being exchanged, they joined the regiment in Virginia. It was placed in General Rains' Brigade at Yorktown, then was assigned to Rodes', O'Neal's, and Battle's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. The 26th was active in many conflicts of the army from Williamsburg to Mine Run. Later it moved to Camp Sumter, Georgia, and for a time guarded prinsoners.

RUSSELL'S FOURTH ALABAMA CAVALRY ROSTER.

• NOWLIN, A. G. Co. K Private.

JAMES GREEN NOLEN married ELIZA M. ISBELL in Lawrence Co. AL on June 3, 1866. Record of "Old Lawrence Reminiscences" from the Alabama Archives is shown as follows:

OLD LAWRENCE REMINISCENCES.*

License & Bond 1866.

GREEN NOWLEN & ELIZA M. ISBELL has our permission to get married so you can give the license all right. This May the 31st 1866.

• HARDEN NOWLEN.
• JESSE ISBELL.

Bond signed by GREEN NOLEN & Thomas J. GRAHAM. Marriage solemnized 3 June 1866 at the residence of T. J. GRAHAM by L. B. SANDERSON, MG. Recorded in Orphans/Probate Court Marriage License Record Book D, 184, Lawrence County Alabama Historical Commission, June 1998, Vol. 12, #2.

* This marriage is recorded in Lawrence Co. AL. There may have also been a dual registration for this marriage in Lawrence Co. TN. "A good example of why the license may be found also recorded in Lawrence Co. TN is that before Alabama borders were surveyed, it became a state in 1819 and was part of the Mississippi Territory; the Tennessee River was the Northern boundary with Lawrence Co. TN split by the River. The River arches south into Alabama and the surveyed boundary line was straight east and west and what was later north of the river or Tennessee became Limestone Co. AL and Lauderdale Co. AL. Since there was no bridge to cross the river, people on the north side continued to make recordings in Lawrence Co. TN. I was born in Lauderdale Co. AL, My Grandparents resided in Limestone Co. AL but for years received mail into the 1940s addressed to them only with a Tennessee address because the nearest postmaster was then living in Tennessee. He was the only one driving a vehicle that could deliver the mail, which only came one day of the week if the dirt roads were passable, and could cross the creek beds.

Now it is strange to me considering the poor method of travel and poor roads in 1866 that this couple then in Lauderdale Co. AL would travel to Lawrence Co. to marry unless related to Thomas J. Graham. (Yet it is possible that Eliza M. Isbell was residing and attending school at Mount Home (Girls College) on land donated by John Graham and which the former college is still owned by family members many of whom were teachers there.) This might explain why she was in the County, and JAMES GREEN NOLEN who was in the Civil War with both Noel Cherry Graham & John C. Graham (sons of John & Lydia) who died in the War could have visited with the Graham’s and there met her. John Graham was a Tennessee Surveyor as was JAMES NOWLIN. The Orphan Court question implied to me that perhaps Eliza was an orphan born in 1848 or 1849, and that Jesse was her appointed Guardian.” (37)

THE FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS OF JOHN ISBELL OF VIRGINIA AND ENGLAND.
ANCESTORS OF ELIZA M. ISBELL.

Knowledgeable ISBELL researchers have placed ELIZA M. ISBELL NOLEN, 1 August 1848 to 22 August 1936 in the family of JESSE ISBELL, born in Tennessee, 1810 and SARAH (SALLIE) MORGAN born in the year 1815, during the 1850 Jackson Co. and 1860 Limestone Co. AL census making her a Descendant of JOHN ISBELL born in England, 1633. LEVI ISBELL, the father of JESSE, was living in the adjacent household being 80 years of age in 1850 born in the year 1770. LEVI is the son of ZACHARIAH ISBELL Jr. born in the year 1750.

Descendants of JOHN ISBELL Born in England, 1633.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, TN - BIOGRAPHY - HON. ZACHARIAH ISBELL.
BIOGRAPHY.

"The Hon. ZACHARIAH ISBELL (circa 1722-1788) is believed buried at Cherokee Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Highway 81, south of Jonesboro, Tennessee, near Cherokee Creek.

Biography: The Hon. ZACHARIAH ISBELL, one of the 13 founders of Tennessee, was born circa 1722 in King William Co. (Orange Co.) VA. He was the son of HENRY ISBELL & wife, a daughter of JAMES and ELIZABETH COX and died circa 1788 (1786-90) near Jonesboro, Washington Co. Tennessee. Earliest records spell his name ZACHARY.

Family researchers are divided as to whether ZACHARIAH Sr. or ZACHARIAH Jr. married ELIZABETH MILLER, daughter of JOHN and ELIZABETH MILLER. Family tradition has held that ZACHARIAH Jr. married "POLLY" MILLER, but JOHN MILLER'S daughter ELIZABETH is proven by court records to have married a ZACHARIAH ISBELL who probably is this ZACHARIAH Sr. or Jr.

Some show his wife was ELIZABETH CALLOWAY born about 1725, the daughter of THOMAS CALLOWAY, an aunt of the two CALLOWAY sisters who were kidnapped with DANIEL BOONE'S daughter JEMINA by Indians while paddling in their canoe but later rescued (one of the famous Daniel Boone stories). Other ISBELL researchers show ZACHARIAH ISBELL'S wife as ELIZABETH LEWIS or TAYLOR, but they are also without proof.

Judge ZACHARIAH ISBELL was the first sheriff of Bedford Co. VA and the first magistrate of Bedford Co. The original court order books were all in his handwriting. He was appointed one of the first justices of Bedford County, Virginia, on 27 May 1754 with Mr. HOWARD and CALLOWAY. ZACHARIAH helped "lay out" the town of New London, the first county seat of Bedford Co. Halifax Co. Virginia, Order Book 2 (pages 175, 236 and 325) places him in that county from 1756 to 1758. He was a Captain in the French & Indian War. On 7 March 1759 he received a land grant for 250 acres in Craven/Camden District South Carolina including other land grants in 1762, 1763 and 1766. He was also Tax Collector and Justice of the Peace and magistrate in Craven/Camden Dist. (Kershaw Co.) SC. Another ISBELL researcher has ZACHARIAH moving to his plantation in SC living quietly until the American Revolution disrupted his family life. In a deed dated 16 July 1766 in Camden District SC, ZACHARIAH ISBELL Sr. sold land to JEREMIAH POTTS and wife ELIZABETH ISBELL signed a release of her dower rights.

Some ISBELL family researchers say ZACHARIAH ISBELL was a member of the Anglican Church early in life and was believed to have held neutral views or Tory sympathies toward Britain, but no writings back up that statement, although he continued moving toward the frontier. In 1771 and 1772 he was on the tax list of Surry Co. NC. Another source says he moved to Washington Co. NC, where he was again a magistrate judge. He was one of 13 commissioners appointed to form the Watauga Settlement, which became the State of Tennessee. The monument at Elizabethton, TN records the names of "The Immortal 13" founders of Tennessee. The marker, however, misspells his name.

It is said he drew up the first census (of sorts), a listing of the wealthiest citizens in the Watauga Settlement, although his name is not on the tax listing. In 1772, ZACHARIAH served on the first court in Tennessee, with JOHN CARTER, CHARLES and JAMES ROBERTSON, and JOHN SEVIER. He had the most court experience of all five justices. In May 1772, the first constitution in North America was written by the people of the Watauga Settlement and called the "Articles of Watauga Association". No copies were preserved or exist today, but it called for an assembly of 13 men elected by the people, which, in turn, elected and appointed a committee of five with both judicial and executive authority for administering the government of the settlement.

The first five men appointed to administer the government were: JOHN SEVIER, JAMES ROBERTSON, CHARLES ROBERTSON, ZACHARIAH ISBELL and JOHN CARTER. In 1778, ZACHARIAH ISBELL served on the first court in Washington Co. NC (now Tennessee) with JOHN SEVIER who later became the first governor of TN. On 25 March 1775, ZACHARIAH took part in the Watauga Purchase of the East Tennessee lands from the Cherokees by witnessing the deed from the Cherokees to JACOB BROWN. This purchase comprised a large part of Washington Co. NC and was signed by several Indian chiefs. The huge old tree under which the deed was signed is still there lying on the ground.

ZACHARIAH ISBELL bought land from JACOB BROWN in 1775 or 1776, which is shown on Brown plat records. JACOB BROWN gave land for the formation of the Cherokee Creek Baptist Church chartered September 1783. The Washington Co. NC (now Tennessee) 1778 Tax List included ZACHARIAH ISBELL, Esq., ZACHA ISBELL and GODFREY ISBELL. It is believed that ZACHA ISBELL was a son of ZACHARIAH ISBELL and GODFREY ISBELL a nephew.

ZACHARIAH ISBELL and his son ZACHARIAH Jr. both served in the government of the Watauga Association, and they both fought the British with Col. JOHN SEVIER 7 Oct 1780 in the Battle of King's Mountain. Washington Co. Deed Book 3, page 52 lists the deed that ZACHARIAH and ELIZABETH ISBELL signed as witnesses for JACOB BROWN on 9 October 1781. One family historian states that ZACHARIAH ISBELL Sr. "continued his career as a magistrate and justice in East Tennessee," but the last official record found is in 1784. In 1784, ZACHARIAH ISBELL was appointed by the State of North Carolina, along with JOHN SEVIER and JESSE WALTON, as commissioners to confiscate the properties of Tories in Washington Co. Tennessee/North Carolina. The last known record for ZACHARIAH ISBELL is where he purchased a bible and a saddle at the estate sale of JACOB BROWN in 1786.

ZACHARIAH is believed by researchers to have died by the 1790 census (1786-89). He is also believed buried at CHEROKEE CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY, Highway 81, south of Jonesboro, on Cherokee Creek." (38)

The ELIZA ISBELL of the JESSE and SARAH (SALLIE) MORGAN ISBELL family was born in 1846-48. ELIZA ISBELL born in 1846-48 has a brother, ZACH ISBELL, born in 1847, that is listed as living in Crittenden Cross Roads, Lauderdale Co. AL during the 1880 United States Census. ELIZA M. ISBELL NOLEN and her husband JAMES GREEN NOLEN are also listed in the 1880 Lauderdale Co. AL Census.

TOWN OF WATERLOO.

"Settled in 1819, established in 1824, and incorporated in 1832. One of Alabama's oldest incorporated towns. Waterloo was an important river port during the steamboat era. Large boats from Louisville, Cincinnati, and other places would unload here, smaller crafts were used to transport goods and passengers up river to Florence during low water seasons. Following a disastrous flood in 1847, the town was relocated to its present site. It was shelled by Union gunboats in July 1862. On November 1, 1863. General William T Sherman crossed the river here and made his temporary headquarters in the home of Dr. O. B. Sullivan. These markers were erected after the maps were completed." (39 )The above quote is from http://travel.nostalgiaville.com/Alabama/florence/florence%20al.htm.

ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES & HISTORY - HISTORICAL MARKERS - LAUDERDALE COUNTY.
TRAIL OF TEARS.

"Thousands of Cherokee Indians passed through Waterloo in the 1830s when they were forced by the U.S. government to move West on the "Trail of Tears." Most came by boat from Tuscumbia and camped here to await transfer to larger steamboats. During the encampment several births and deaths occurred.

One party of 1,070 Cherokees traveled overland from Ross' Landing in Tennessee due to low water in the upper river. Following the general route of U.S. Hwy.72 to Florence, they arrived here July 10, 1838, in miserable conditions after a 23-day journey. About 17,000 Cherokees were driven from their homeland in the southern Appalachian Mtns. Most traveled by land through Tennessee and on to Oklahoma. Great suffering and about 4,000 deaths occurred along the Trail, especially during the winter of 1838-39." (40) The above quote is from the web site of the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

Second Great Grandfather, JAMES GREEN NOLEN, died 4 September 1910 at Busby Mine #5, Krebs City, Pittsburg Co. OK. He died of Dropsy. Dropsy is the termed used then for congenital heart failure. His burial location is not currently known, however, it is presumed in Krebs or McAlester. My information is that Krebs does not have a city cemetery.

The funeral service of JAMES GREEN NOLEN was held the afternoon of 4 September 1910 at his residence in Krebs. St. Joseph’s Catholic cemetery, in North McAlester, off Oklahoma 31, or the Union cemetery in North McAlester ten to twelve blocks from the St. Joseph's Catholic cemetery are the best estimate for the burial location of JAMES GREEN NOLEN. Many people are buried there without markers. After the turn of the century, the population growth center moved to South McAlester and internments shifted to the Oak Hill and Calvary cemeteries. According to Pittsburg Co. OK census records, JAMES G. NOLAND was working in a Coal Mine Shop, 1910.

Busby Mine #5 may have also been referred to as the Osage Coal & Mining Company #5. William Busby acquired the Osage Coal & Mining Company shortly after the turn of the century, which owned several mines in or near Krebs. If this is the same mine, it was located in the Northwest part of Krebs and is now within the McAlester city limit. Currently, there is a Feed Mill in that location.

It also appears to mention in Latin the Krebs mining accident of 1892. JAMES GREEN (NOLAND) NOLEN reportedly worked for that same mining company; however, he died 4 September 1910.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________ COAL MINE NO. 11.

"The base photo in this collage was taken from the 1902 annual report of the Osage Coal & Mining Company, which operated the major mines in Krebs from the 1870's to the early 1900's. Mine #11 exploded on January 7, 1892, killing almost 100 men and boys as young as 12 years old and wounding many more. This was the worst mining disaster in Indian Territory/Oklahoma history and almost every household in Krebs was directly affected. The report states that the mine had been totally refurbished just prior to 1902. Krebs, McAlester, and most of the surrounding towns within 15 miles, owe their existence to coal mining. The color overlay in lower right is of the memorial that was erected and dedicated at the site of the mine in the summer of 2002. It memorializes those lost or wounded in the 1892 explosion. The large masonry object to the left of the large tree is a base for mining machinery and is all that remains of the original mine. The memorial is located 2 1/2 blocks north of the Krebs School."

AR. SAM HOUSTON listed his nearest relative as ELIZA NOLEN, mother, of Paris, Logan Co. AR meaning he was single at that time. The above census record in 1920 Fort Smith, Sebastian Co.

Some of the listed information as to birth, names, and state of origin is in error or this could be the wrong census record for SAM HOUSTON NOLEN.

WILLIAM T. NOLEN, JAMES GREEN'S oldest son, married MARY ELIZABETH MOBLEY. Her father was buried in the below mentioned cemetery along with other relatives. MARY ELIZABETH MOBLEY NOLEN gave birth to five children of which four lived. LEE T. NOLAN, listed below, may have been the fifth child of WILLIAM T. and MARY ELIZABETH. The MOBLEY cemetery was once 3-5 miles from Sugar Grove, AR. (The birth place of my father and grandfather). Presumably, this cemetery had some of our Nolen relatives buried in it before it was destroyed by the creation of Blue Mountain Lake.

If my memory has not failed, my grandmother, CLARA VERDIA HORTON NOLEN, indicated at the time she gave the below photo to me that it was of WILLIAM T. NOLEN and MARY ELIZABETH (LIZZIE) MOBLEY NOLEN.

VACCINATION PART OF DUTY, MEDIC SAYS.

By Sean Ingram; judicial@couriernews.com.

"SHAWN GOODWIN wanted an extra opportunity to help people in need and serve his country, so he made a painful choice. The Conway Ambulance Service paramedic and U. S. Army National Guard legal specialist believes that decision could come in handy in case of an outbreak of smallpox. GOODWIN, who lives in Russellville, explained recently that he was one of five ERT's with Conway Ambulance Service and one of about 20 staff members at the Conway Regional Hospital to receive the smallpox vaccination.

Nationally, vaccinations have been given to 25,000 civilians, mostly in public health departments and hospitals, and several hundred thousand military personnel. Workers are being inoculated in case terrorists use the smallpox virus in a biological attack. The often-fatal disease was declared eradicated in nature 23 years ago, but the United States and the former Soviet Union were each allowed to keep samples of the virus. The Soviets reportedly violated the agreement and cultured large amounts of the virus as a potential weapon. Other nations, including Iraq and North Korea, may also have samples.

“In case of a smallpox outbreak or some sort of biological warfare, emergency personnel who have had the shots could take care of those who have not had the shots,” Goodwin explained. “The response team can go whenever we need to take care of those who come in contact with the smallpox virus.”

GOODWIN, the husband of MICHELLE and father of three children, BREANNA, 7; BRAYDON, 4; and ASHLEN, 3, said the hospital in Faulkner County did a good job of distributing the smallpox vaccination shots, which consists of 15 “pokes” in a quarter-inch circle on the arm. The shots are given to a person in their non-dominant arm, he noted. “We understand that someone can die if they come in contact with the smallpox virus and have not had the shot,” GOODWIN said. “There’s a great chance of death if someone is not treated, and a lot of people have backed out because it sounds like a scary process.” In addition, there are concerns across the country after persons who have received smallpox shots have died of fatal heart attacks.

A recent Associated Press story explained that Florida health workers slated to get vaccinations were already asked about their medical history, but those being vaccinated now are being re-interviewed about heart problems before getting their shots, according to the state Health Department’s epidemic intelligence service officer. A St. Petersburg nurse’s aide and two others nationally suffered fatal heart attacks following vaccinations, but officials at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said that they don’t believe the vaccine causes or exacerbates heart problems, adding that because of the deaths, those who are to be vaccinated should be re-screened.

They said anyone found to have serious problems such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, angina or a previous heart attack should not be inoculated until a link has been disproved. Based on studies in the late 1960's, experts estimate that one or two people out of every million being vaccinated for the first time will die. The death rate for those being revaccinated was lower: Two people died out of 8.5 million who were revaccinated in a 1968 study.

Additionally, 14 to 52 people out of every million being vaccinated for the first time are expected to suffer life-threatening side effects. Officials in Illinois have suspended the vaccinations while officials look into the heart cases. New York says it has “paused” its program.

A Florida nurse’s aide, a Maryland nurse and a National Guardsman with a history of smoking and high cholesterol have had fatal heart attacks after being vaccinated. GOODWIN, however, pointed out that in case of any terrorist attacks or biological incidents, there isn’t a lot of people left to take care of those who are exposed to the smallpox virus. He added that in case his military unit is quickly activated, he doesn’t have to worry about having the shot or possibly coming in contact with the virus. “This is another way I can pay back my country, and save another life,” GOODWIN stated."

Letters to the editor for Thursday, December 16, 2004.

European and Mideast editions.

Serving past your ETS.

"I have been in the Army National Guard for 15 years. I was reading the article about the individuals filing a lawsuit against the Army because their term was up and they were still having to serve. Well, my unit got activated in October 2003, and we have been in country since March 2004. My estimated time in service was June 2004 and I’m still here.

Of everything I have ever heard about people suing the government, this is the most ridiculous and unethical thing that has ever struck my attention.

My great-grandfather, my grandfather on both parents’ sides, and my father all served in the military. My ETS was June 2004 and no one asked me if I would stay. Staying past your ETS while you’re in country defending the honor and respect of the United States has nothing to do with a contract, but has everything to do with duty, loyalty, dignity and, above all, honor.

Did these people get in just for the college money or the extra weekend drill pay that made a loan payment? These people need to think about something: If you just wanted college money, you should have applied for a grant. If you just wanted some extra cash, work part time at Burger King. If you wanted to serve your country, then quit whining and serve it with pride, because we live in the best country that God could ever create. These people need to stop playing their silly games and be men about it.

Spc. SHAWN GOODWIN; Taji, Iraq." (45)

Associated Names and Septs (with spelling variations): Clalan, Cleadland, Cleadlande, Cleaveland, Cleeland, Cleiland, Cleilland, Cleland, Clelane, Clelend, Clellan, Clelland, Clellane, Clellond, Clenel, Clerland, Cliland, Kalland, Kealand, Kealland, Keelland, Kelland, Kneband, Kneland, MacClallane, MacCleallane, MacCleilane, MacClelan, MacClellan, MacClelland, MacKlellan, MacKlellane, MacKnellan, Nield, Niland, Nilland, NOLAND, and Nyland. The above information is from the Clan Cleland website at www.clan-cleland.org.

The second research area is that of WILLIAM and THOMAS NOWLAND who came to the New World on the ship “George” in 1677. THOMAS and WILLIAM NOWLAND are part of the PIERCE NOWLAND (NOLAND) (NOLEN) line.

PIERCE NOWLAND (NOLAND) the second's youngest child was a WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) born in Charles County, Maryland about 1703. This WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) was a minor in 1715. He probably was not of age until 1724 when the estate of PIERCE NOWLAND (NOLAND) the second seems to have been settled. And this WILLIAM NOWLAND (NOLAND) was reportedly from Prince William County, Virginia. A WILLIAM NOLAN is listed in Prince William Co. Deed Book R, 1768-1771. This research area is listed below and further information can be obtained at NOLAND'S of America provided by Sharon NOLAND.

PIERCE NOWLAND is of record first in Cecil County, Maryland and next in Charles County, Maryland.

13 October 1686.

"Feddar" consisting of 300 acres was surveyed for him and patented to him, on June 12, 1688, lying in Cecil County on the western-most side of Elk River. (47)

Liber R No. 1, folio 509, recorded in Charles County, Maryland, states that PIERCE NOWLAND traded 300 acres of land he owned in Cecil County for land from THOMAS LYNDSEY in Charles County, 4 November, 1692.

This land adjoined property of COLONEL JAMES SMALLWOOD. Research has shown that this NOWLAND (NOLAND) family moved into Virginia from Maryland.

The third research area is that of Patrick NOWLAND (NOWLIN) (NOLINN). Patrick is listed in the Albemarle County VA Surveyor’s Plat Book I that is shown below. And he is also listed in Amherst County VA Deed Records for 1761 as having an interest in old Albemarle County prior to 1761.
