Looking for any information on Thomas Jefferson Inman, b 11-13-1878, d 2-23-1950, m Oct. 9, 1904, to Martha Ann Elizabeth King. His father ws John Inman and mother was Annie Sellers. They all lived in Williamson Co., Tn. Martha Ann King's faterh was George Washington King and her mother was America Huges King. Any information on this family would be very much appreciated. We're just getting started on family research. Any hints would be appreciated too. Thank you... Sharon

You know, I've been thinking the same thing. I'm working on Ezekiel Inman, father of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego of NC/TN fame. And I have just about concluded the Ezekiel was the son of Abraham Inman (son of Edward Inman and Mary Malavery). This Edward was a son of Edward Inman and Elizabeth Bennett. I've been digging around in NC and SC records and have found too many interpersonal occurrences between SMA and the Inmans of Newberry! I have a double descent on the Inman line. My father's line dates back through Edward Inman of RI, (down through several Edwards to Joseph Inman and his son Daniel, etc.) My maiden name was Inman. My mother descends from Meschach through an intermarriage of her Spences with the Inmans. I can't hold up the documentation that says "yes this is so!" But when I put everything together, I believe that you are right!!!! (P.S. My cousin once wrote me that some of the early RI Inmans were Quakers!!!!)

I put a number of links to other websites on the Twigs of Inman & Spence MyFamily.com site today. One fascinating site is the Perry County, TN Cemetery listing I found on the GenWeb Project. I printed it out and discovered that I now have over 80 pages of names!!! If you have ancestors in Perry County, TN--that's certainly the place to look. The oldest grave I found was for Anderson Bunch--a familiar name to the Louisa County, Bunch people. I also found a number of Inmans. Sorry, no Spences--but I may have found some of their relatives. One interesting discovery was the Holder Cemetery. James Henry Bunch, husband of Milly Catherine Spence (daughter of Samuel Spence and Elizabeth Inman) was born in Maury County, TN to Eli Bunch and Nancy Bullington. Eli was born in Chowan, NC to Micajah Bunch. Eli's mother was a Holder.

I haven't vanished. I am currently writing Vol. 2 of the online Twigs of Inman & Spence Journal, which is going to focus on the Missouri lines, place special empahsis on the Civil War, and be the last volume in that series. Then I am going to switch my focus to other family lines. I am currently buried in Missouri Civil War Books and just acquired one I cannot put down: "Bloody Bill Anderson"--a recent book I acquired from the History Club. I am suspicious that his family connects with the Scotch-Irish Andersons of Augusta County, VA. Bloody Bill was born in Kentucky--some of the Augusta County Andersons went to Kentucky. While arranging my office at home, I re-discovered a notebook full of information I acquired about the Missouri Guerilla Fighters concerning name and "chieftan" or "gang leader". Have made some interesting discoveries there. So, I'm having fun. I hope to have Vol. 2 on the Rootsweb site sometime during Spring Break. When it is loaded onto the site, I am going to "zap" Vol. 1. Vol. 1 will be available online only for another month. Some changes to Vol. 1: SPENCE: Angeline Penelope, half sister of Samuel, Daniel and Milly Catherine, b. 1813. She married David Lamasters in Jasper County, MO in 1843--I have the marriage license to prove it. However, I have been in contact with descendants of David Lamasters and Elisha Hamby who have given me different names for their wives. I am beginning to think that Angeline may have died in 1844 or 1845 in childbirth.. BUNCH: The old guerilla fighter again. I had thought that his father was a son of James Bunch and Ruth Hibbs. However, I received information from some descendants of Bunch/Hibbs who told me that that James Bunch died young. James Bunch (the guerilla fighter), came from the Louisa County Bunches--however, I am beginning to think that his father settled in Eastern TN with the Haskins family. The Bunches and the Haskins moved to Missouri together--so, I have something more to look into. SOME SNIGGLY DATES AND TYPOS. Not a huge number--but they need to be changed.

I found a little notebook full of notes while "organizing my mess" last weekend. And I stumbled across an interesting item. This is from Cecil O'Dell's "Pioneers of Old Frederick Co., VA", Published by Walsworth Publishing Co., Marceline, MO, 1995: p. 198--On 17 Nov. 1752, James Hayworth (who moved to Virginia in 1739) received a 227-acre Fairfax grant on Great Spring Branch of Back Creek. It was surveyed on 26 April 1751. On 4 August 1755, James and wife Sarah sold 227 acres to Thomas Doster for 60 pounds. James was deceased by 1759 and his wife Sarah moved to BUSH RIVER QUAKER MONTHLY MEETING IN NEWBERRY COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA in 1768. On 10 Oct. 1768, their daughter Jemima and John Wright (son of John--son of James) and Rachel Wright, were married in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Absalom Hayworth was deceased by 2 June 1752 when his will was proved in Frederick County Court with witnesses John Lewis, BENJAMIN INMAN and John Rubel." This is the first connection I have found between the Frederick County, VA Inmans and South Carolina. And I am starting to wonder about a connection between those South Carolina Quaker Inmans and Ezekiel Inman (father of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego). Concerning Frederick County, MD--this is from Maryland Records, Colonial, Revolutionary, County & Church, Vol. I by Brumbaugh concerning Joshua Inman of Frederick County MD: p. 278 Frederick County Official Poll of Presidential Election 1796--Joshua Inman (Federalist).

This item should be of interest to all West Virginia Researchers.

Missouri already has statutes protecting old family graveyards, even if they are abandoned. Current owners cannot excavate unless the remains are exhumed and moved; family members must be allowed access. The statute is not perfect (current owners have a right to destroy the cemetery AFTER they pay for removal of the bodies), but it did provide ammunition to preserve the remains of my ancestors from Old Edwards Cemetery, Nixa, MO. The (dwindling) remains of family members (only found by an archaeologist hired by the current owner) and their slaves were moved to McConnell Cemetery, and relatives paid for a large new monument to commemorate the mass grave. (The current owner hired the archaeologist to DISPROVE the well-known fact that the site was a cemetery and had been well-maintained and decorated until 1940.) Randy McConnell

I still think the Benjamin Inman cited below in Barbara's latest message is the Benjamin (b. 1699?) who married Jemima Haworth/Brundage in Burlington NJ in 1739 and later moved from Frederick VA to Bush River, SC, where he died. Some writers have him moving from London directly to Charleston, SC.

I am a little at a loss as to what to do with the following message. As you can see from his last message, I can't reply to him since he refuses to listen. So I turn to you in hopes that maybe blowing off steam will help. The name of the researcher is deleted. But the name of the person in the correspondence is all that I ever saw. From this veil of anonymity he flames me, insults another researcher and refuses to help to set straight records that he says are inaccurate. People often ask why I go to all of the trouble to keep this site going. Here is a prime example. When I first started, I ran into a lot of people who refused to share data on the premise that it was their's, they got it and I can't have it. So I chose to find a way to make research material universal rather than proprietary. I have had my motives and intentions questioned before. I have had people tell me that I am doing it all wrong. But they have inevitably shared and helped me in the end. Here is the exception. I was going to suggest that all of you could write to beaconpt and tell him what you thought of his behavior. But he has already chosen his position. So this is what I have gotten out of his tirade. I am glad that I am doing what I am doing. I am glad that I have made contact and friends with over 300 Inman researchers around the world. I think that the rest of us have made tremendous progress, in less than 30 years. I think I am better off working with all of you fine people than with this one person. And I thank you for your support. No response is expected. Following is the thread of the messages between me and beaconpt. ================================= I would be interested in talking to you about your Inman line, wherever it is from.

I have just taken a look at your website and it is full of gross mistakes on Campbell/Boggess/Inman lines. You have unfortunately made a mistake by referring and taking information from ***** *****. I have notified these people that they are putting out the wrong information; however no corrections have been made. I don't know if you are interested, but I have been researching this family for nealy 30 years. The garbage that Winch has put out is a slap in the face of someone who does physical research. Their speciality is taking information from undocumented sources and passing it along without having confirmed that information. I know this to be true because the lineage you are now displaying on your site is my early work. He obtained this from a LDS Modrall cousin who lives in Penticton B.C. to whom this work had been submitted for corrections, additions, deletions. JAC ================= I am very intersested in your work. My site tries to put out the best available information for the benefit of researchers. Source material is included wherever it is available. Unfortunately I do not always get the data. If you wish to help me correct these problems I would appreciate it. However, before I make any changes I expect to have the source material to include in the database at the same time. Let me know how you want to proceed. Thanks for writing. -- Jim Williams ================ beaconpt wrote: With regards to your site.

Searching for any info on this couple. They are my husbands grandparents. Richard was born @1856 and died 1902. thanks

Well, as Jean/Jane Inman might say, "Reports of my 1807 death have been greatly exaggerated." She married in 1805 to Argyle Taylor (who was born probably in the 1782 to 1785 period). Argyle was a son of Permenas Taylor of Jefferson Co. TN and a brother of the Matilda Taylor who married Ezekiel Inman, son of Abednego Inman. Unfortunately, the Taylor family researchers have tried to marry her to a variety of Taylors, in the process neglecting to do basic research in the Jefferson Co. records of the period. The couple's marriage bond survives and leaves no doubt as to who she married. Her brother Ezekiel Inman was Argyle Taylor's bondsman on the document. The couple (and the Ezekiel Inmans) removed to Madison Co. MS Territory by 1812 and by 1818, when AL was formed, began to make Franklin Co. their home. Argyle Taylor was murdered by a neighbor in 1823, following a dispute arising at the wedding of a daughter -- an event that was detailed in a TN newspaper of the period (the guilty party fled to TN). The widow Jane Taylor appears in the 1830 census for Franklin Co., and the couple clearly had several children. The only child fully identified is Susan Taylor, wife of Guilford/Gilford Stocks. This couple removed to Tishomingo Co. MS just before 1840, and Susan's tombstone recalls both her marriage and her parentage. She was not the daughter whose marriage celebration precipitated Argyle Taylor's death. I am hot on the trail of identifying the Abednego Taylor who appears in the 1870 census of Lee Co. MS as another son. Obviously, the name is a potential giveaway, but there is other important evidence pointing to Argyle and Jenny (Inman) Taylor. By the way, as you probably know, after Ezekiel Inman's ca. 1825 death in Franklin Co. AL, Matilda returned to Jefferson Co. TN for a period -- then inexplicably headed, as a widow with children, to the seemingly remote Dubois Co. IN. Ah -- but it was not as alien a location as it would first appear. Hannah Rose, wife of Bazil Brooke Edmonston and half-sister of Col. Permenas Taylor, had been living in the county since 1818 -- and surviving letters in the Edmonston family reveal they had been trying to get some of their Taylor kin to join them there for years. In the 1850's, probably as a part of trying to establish pensionable 1812 service for her late husband Ezekiel Inman, Matilda (Taylor) Inman sought a copy of her marriage record from Jefferson Co. TN. A court clerk in the period actually made a note of the request on the marriage bond! He further noted that the copy was to be sent to Bazil Brooke Edmonston, clerk of the Circuit Court in Dubois Co. IN. This latter was B. B. Jr., son of Bazil Brooke Edmonston and Hannah Rose. ============================================================ As always, your comments are welcome.

I just realized that the list you had subscribed to at The Inman Compendium was set up incorrectly. You had subscribed to be notified of changes and updates to the site. The program added your name to the wrong mailing list. So many of you had not, and would not have, received these updates. Some of you were on both lists so you were receiving my messages. I apologise for the confusion. If you choose to be removed from this list, please visit: http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/guestlist.html Several of you are new to the site. Please stay with us. A new database was uploaded today. Several new obituaries were added to both the IN and KY abstracts page on Thursday. Five people have signed in to the guest book this week. Generally I would mail copies to the group, but you probably missed them because of this mix up. They can be seen at: http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/guest.html Thanks for your patience and I hope to here from you all. If you haven't submitted your family's history, I encourage you to do so. We have now passed the 54,000 name mark in the online database. Jim Williams --- Please email inman@surnameweb.org if you wish to be removed from this list.
