Henry moved to TX at before 1900 and possibly Thomas.

I'm not sure if there is a connection but I have done a "little" research on the WARD family of my Uncle John REYNOLDS wife, Josephine "Jo" WARD from Avon Park, Highlands, Fl. The family were road pavers and moved around the state quite a lot with the females acting mostly as cooks and other family type jobs for all their sons/ brothers/uncles. What little I have ends in Walton Co, Fl but begins in Levy Co then to Bradford Co on the 1880-1930 censuses. There are a number of other WARD families on the various Bradford Co censuses as well. My uncle said they were in Wauchula, Hardee, Fl just before moving to Avon Park where he met and married Anut Jo in 1951. Aunt Jo's father's name was William J. WARD and I have only been able to reliable trace him back to 1910 in Pine Hill, Bradford, Fl on the censuses with a probably 1880 Levy Co, Fl at 8 months old but this is not proven at this time. William died in 1938 at 50 years old according to my uncle Junior and the only one I can find in Ancestry.com (Florida death Index) is shown as dying in Walton Co but this also is only conjecture at this time. I am unable to visit the places for more indepth research because of I live in El Paso, Tx and distance it prohibative so everything has to be on the internet for research or contact with people in the various areas of my research that KINDLY are able to do lookups or supply information they know is valid. I know this does not help you much but maybe between us maybe someone will note the similarities in their own research and be able to make connections.

The answer is---No. John & Nancy's eldest son William S. married a Nancy Kirkland also. In 1846 he left with his parents for Texas and 10 years later she married Randall Blackshear. In 1886, her son by Wm S Scott, Wm T Scott, moved to texas also, along with his two half brothers, Randall and Bryant Byrd Blackshear. The younger Nancy remained in Henry Co. and died in 1900., Lannie Walker.

Valerie, I bought Peacock's book and then bought the electronic version on CD. I have done computer searches of the electronic version and the info that I found was: Benjamin Kirkland,Sr., father of Benjamin,Jr, married Alcey Odom. He died after 1805 Benjamin,Jr married Ferebee (last name unknown).He died after 1830 and Caleb married Sarah (Sally) Ransom. He died after 1830. The Ransom is assumed because of all the Ransom names scattered among their 14 children. That was the best I could do.

The surname KELLY migrating from Alabama to Texas got my interest. Subject: surnames SOWELL KELLY and CURETON...........................................and the connection to East Texas, specifically Nacogdoches County, Texas......................................... There is a P. H. SOWELL b. 1857 buried in the Old SMYRNA Cemetery (indexed under Smyrna, not under Old). He is probably connected to the Henry County or Pike County, Alabama families because my ancestor, W.O. CURETON is also buried in that cemetery in Nacogdoches County, Texas................................................................................................................. ................. My ancestor in Henry County, Alabama was William Obadiah CURETON who married Mary Jane KELLY, b. about 1825 in Pike County, Alabama. W.O. CURETON was in the Confederate Army, but he lived in Texas, and his son, Thomas Kelly CURETON b. 1847 in Pike County, Alabama, married Rebekah BLANTON. Several BLANTON, CURETON, GREER, STRIPLING, and other ALABAMA ROOTS families are buried at the SWIFT Cemetery in Nacogdoches County, Texas. Cemetery is transcribed at US Gen Web. Mary Jane KELLY b. 1825 was the daughter of Elias KELLY and Emily HILL, and I think Elias KELLY lived PIKE COUNTY, Alabama. The cemetery info at SWIFT Cemetery in Nacogdoches County, Texas says Mary Jane KELLY was from PIKE COUNTY, Alabama and that her son, Elias L. CURETON was born in PIKE COUNTY, Alabama in 1850. Henry County was a large county, and other counties came from HENRY County, correct? My ancestor, W.O. CURETON is listed as being buried in the SWIFT Cemetery in Nacogdoches County, Texas, where several CURETON, BLANTON, BRANTLEY, STRIPLING and other Alabama roots families are buried. BUT in the old SMYRNA CEMETERY is really where William Obadiah CURETON is buried, and his wife, Mary Jane KELLY CURETON b. 1825 is buried at SWIFT. I think this might be because the newer cemeteries weren't established when W. O. CURETON died. In reviewing info about W.O. CURETON, and remembering that the Old SMYRNA Cemetery had some of my kin, I found a SOWELL tombstone there. .......The SOWELL tombstone reads P.H. SOWELL b. 1857 died July 12, 1889 and says that a kind wife mourns. In this same cemetery are some STRIPLING and a James M. WHITTON, the grandfather of Grady. In the old SMYRNA Cemetery are also some BRANTLEY, JACKSON, LOVE, P.H. SOWELL, STRIPLING, WHITEHEAD, and WHITTON which might be WHIDDON. On the Nacogdoches County website at US Gen Web, there is a link to cemeteries. Some of the cemeteries have a few photos. Some of the cemeteries are transcribed on more than one website. Check both for additional information. I think W.O. CURETON is buried in the Old Smryna Cemetery in Nacogdoches, but the SWIFT Cemetery, which is much larger, also has him listed, perhaps because his wife, Mary Jane KELLY CURETON is buried at Swift. This is all in Nacogdoches County, Texas, but the families came from Henry County and Pike County, Alabama. My CURETON line comes from William Jackson CURETON and Celia BANISTER of Henry County. Celia or Cealy BANNISTER CURETON bought more land after her husband died. The CURETON name is spelled CURENTON and CURINGTON in some of the old Henry County census and land records. William Jackson CURETON bought original land in Henry County in 1831 in township 6N, mostly in section 17. After the Civil War, the CURETON land in Henry County was passed down to the two CURETON sisters who married the WOODs brothers and stayed in Henry County, Alabama.

When we worked hard on getting the two Nancy Kirkland's and the two John Scott's in the correct places I see that I entered Nancy Kirkland wife of 1st William Scott, Sr.. and 2nd Randolph Blackshear as the daughter of Benjamin Kirkland. (This Nancy is the mother of William Scott, Jr.). I entered Nancy Kirkland born 1805 and the wife of John Scott as being the daughter of Caleb Kirkland. I did not enter the names of the wives of Benjamin nor Caleb Kirkland. Do you have those names? Even though they are not my lines it helps to have such when you have to keep all these people with the same names in their correct places. > > Thanks, > Valerie Adams > > -------------- Original message from Lannie Walker <lannie1@swbell.net>: -------------- > > > >> The answer is---No. John & Nancy's eldest son William S. married a Nancy >> Kirkland also. >> In 1846 he left with his parents for Texas and 10 years later she >> married Randall Blackshear. >> In 1886, her son by Wm S Scott, Wm T Scott, moved to texas also, along >> with his two >> half brothers, Randall and Bryant Byrd Blackshear.
