Hi Everyone, It seems that my posting of the article regarding "Cemeteries in the South" offended someone at the Nashville Zoo due to one sentence in the article that specifically mentioned the name of the zoo. As such and in the interest of fairness, I am forwarding their e-mail to the List. David Brown Sara Binkley Tarpley Wrote: I was distressed to see the Nashville Zoo mentioned in an article that you forwarded to a Rootsweb mailing list. The fact is that the family to which the cemetery belonged willed the land on which the Nashville Zoo is located to the City of Nashville. The family's original home, outbuildings, and grounds have been carefully restored and preserved and are open for tours. The cemetery is not in the zoo proper. There is also an adjacent elementary school, whose students can use the zoo and the restored estate in their class work. Below is an e-mail that the zoo's public relations director sent to the Washington Post. I received your message as part of Rootsweb's PML service and cannot post to the list. However, I would appreciate your sharing Mr. Bartoo's message with the list to set the record straight about the Nashville Zoo. Sara Binkley Tarpley Nashville, TN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jim Bartoo <[email protected] > Date: Mar 29, 2006 9:13 AM Subject: Please check your facts To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], Tori Mason < [email protected]>, Rick Schwartz <[email protected]> Dear Washing Post Editors. I must respond in protest to your March 26 article ("More Family Cemeteries Dying Away in the South"). Though I agree that many small family cemeteries are being overrun by development, I don't believe it is fair to include the Grassmere Historic Home cemetery as part of your "example". ( i.e. "There are other examples.... There's a family cemetery on the grounds of the city zoo.") Nashville Zoo at Grassmere is proud to include the property's history as part of our guests' experience. We have has painstakingly restored no only the family cemetery, but also the home (built in 1810), the family garden and several other structures on the property. All of this in an effort to allow our guests to see what a family farm looked like in the 1800's. We include a plaque at the cemetery site that includes information about the family that lived here and identifies many of the grave markers. Your assumption that a cemetery resting in a "city zoo" must mean rampant development is simply uncalled for.

In my notes I have the name as Woolfolk. Nancy and Agnes were daughters of Joseph and Mary Waller Woolfolk of Spotsylvania Co., VA. Hence the use of the Waller name in the Burton lines. I have Joseph the son of John and Elizabeth Wigglesworth Woolfolk.

Departed this life on the 26th October, Mr. Richard Searcy of Woodford County, aged eighty Six years. Mr. Searcy was one of the few early adventurers of Kentucky, and of the very few of them who have so long survived the great changes in the social condition of it’s inhabitants which time and circumstances have established. He has resided near forty years on the farm where he died and was buried. The benevolence of his disposition, his hospitality, undeviating fidelity in his friends, his candoar (sic) and honesty towards all men, his toleration and liberality towards those with whom he differed in sentiment, in politics or religion, were qualities, so happily combined as to render his associations convenient to himself, and secured him the friendship and esteem of others. The final departure of such a husband, parent, friend and neighbor, leaves the sympathies and best feelings of the heart to mourn the loss of the good and worthy. But reflections upon the nature of men and things, teaches us to rejoice because he rejoiced in the faith inspired by the test. AMICUS Will: I, Richard Searcy. of this County of Woodford and State of Kentucky, being sound in body and mind but well advanced in years do make and constitute this my last will, hereby revoking and making void a will wrote by Majr.

Second my will and desire is that all remainder of my estate, of what description soever it may be, to be by my Ex'ors hereafter to be named equally divided and by him paid over to my other seven children after my death. Viz: Edmd, Berry, Henry Searcy--Polly Dawkins, Ritter Farrow, Nancy Edwards and Patsy Endicott to them and to their heirs forever provided however that if my wife Molly Searcy should be a longer liver than myself my desire is that my Exct. shall fairly invent­ory and list all my estate as aforesaid in presence of as many of my children as may be present or other respectable citizens of the neighborhood and leave all in her my wife Molly Searcy hands for her support during her life or such part thereof as she may choose to retain and keep possession of particularly the money my will is shall be by her the said Molly retained using the inter­est and such other as may be necessary for her support. My Exct. at the same time keeping the inventory and taking care to prevent lists or marks after my death. Lastly my desire is that my son Leon'd Searcy Herman Bormar and Samuel Berry are appointed my Executors to carry this my will into effect and be admitted so to do without giving bond or security for the performance of their duty herein required in Testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal the 17th day of Sept. 1823.

The book discusses Thomas Burris of Orange Co., VA who married Frances Tandy and died in 1789 in Orange County. His daughter Sarah Burris was born 1753 and married Andrew Tribble -- the couple moved to KY in 1785. Apparently, the Boone connection is through descendants of this Andrew Tribble and Sarah Burris couple. I don't know if any of the names I mentioned mean anything to you, but perhaps this is the Boone connection your father-in-law had heard about?

May 14 1863 -James Burton Cemetery Im not familiar with a MB list. ..as I stated in a different coversation..there were two groups of Burtons from KY..one from Henry Co. and one from Mercer Co.

Just found it! Joseph Thomas Hopper Jr. married to Cora Belle Cline. His father was Joseph Thomas Hopper Sr. married to Elvira Mobley. They moved to Taney County first. 1860 Census - Big Creek, Taney Co., Missouri Page Joseph Hopper 32 m Ky Elvira 25 f Mo Francis 7 f Mo James 2 m Mo That's all I have on this branch. Can you fill me in? RJ

There in lies the problem. By the time of the 1850 Census Joseph is 72. There's an E. J. Hopper (female) listed in his household age 25. Eliza J. Hopper married Theodore Shafer in Monroe on 5 Feb. 1863. On the 1870 Census for Randolph we find Theodore Shafer and Eliza J. (age 59) along with Anna Hopper, age 78, born in Ky. On the 1880 Census for Boone we find Theodore and Eliza J. along with an Elizabeth Allen listed as a sister in law. Supposedly Elizabeth Hopper married a Temple Allen in Howard on 1 Feb 1847 but there seems to be some confusion about that. Right next to Theodore Shafer in the 1880 census is Judson M. Brashear and his wife Darcus Ann. Judson Brashear married Darcus Ann 'Annie' Hopper in Howard on 10 Nov. 1836. Sarah Margaret Brashear, daughter of Judson and Darcus, married my great great grandfather James T. Shafer. I think Theodore may be the father of James T. by an earlier wife. Anna Hopper is buried in Macedonia Christian Church Cemetery in Audrain. The tombstone gives her date of death as 11 Nov 1874. I think she was living with one of her grandsons, Asa Bartee, who is buried in the same cemetery. "William Bartee was born in the Garrard Co., Kentucky on August 28, 1822. He came to Missouri and settled in Howard County. He was married July 13, 1848 to Miss Fannie Hopper, of Howard County . She is still living. Nine children was the results of this union---seven living --six boys and one girl. He is now the owner of a large farm in Audrain county on which he lives. He and his wife have been married Fifty one years and last year they celebrated the fiftieth Anniversary of their marriage. He gets his mail at Clark, MO, USA" Other possible children might include Martin G. Hopper who married Nancy Stafford, William J. Hopper who married Sarah Woods, Joseph Thomas Hopper who married Elvira Moberly, and a Sarah Hopper. William J. and Sarah are in Joseph Hopper's household in 1850. There are probably other children I am unaware of. It should be pointed out that there were Hoppers in Boone early on as well. James and John I believe, who may well be brothers of Joseph. Joseph Hopper disappears after the 1850 Census. Judson Brashear had moved from Howard to Monroe by 1860 settling near Middle Grove. My James T. Shafer moved from Monroe to near Renick just after the 1870 Census. I don't know why but both James T. Shafer and his wife Sarah Margaret, as well as several other family members, are buried at Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Audrain. There's no evidence that they had any ties there. My father was born in Renick in 1914. Richard Johnson

Alice I think Lucy descended from William FITZPATRICK/Sarah Jane BRECKENRIDGE of Abemarle Co. Virginia Colony. Wm & Sarah came to VA from Ireland about 1718 with sons Thomas & William Jr. Joseph was b.<1719> Albemarle Co. VA. My ancestor, Edward FITZPATRICK came much later <1840> and m.one of those KY HURTS that had moved into MO. Edward & Nancy(HURT) FITZPATRICK settled in Audrain Co. MO. Howard Fitzpatrick

Thanks David, for the reference to the book by Hazel Atterbury Spraker that discusses the Burris and Tribble families and their connection with the Boones. Thomas Burris and Frances Tandy were my 5th g-grandparents. A double thanks.

No, there have been articles originating both here in MO at how the KY guys were slickered into thinking that they actually had the Boone bodies, and from KY saying how they had out foxed Missourians. I take 'The Kentucky Explorer,' and it had an article not too long ago re this. It's interesting reading how so many people and places claim the same thing. I was going through several back issues of the 'Explorer" that I got from another subscriber and have donated to the Randolph Co Hist Society in Moberly, and ran across an items several years ago in which it was claimed that a cabin somewhere in KY was what HB Stowe based 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' on. Well this weeks ago I believe it was Frederick, MD who announced that a cabin there was being given historic significance status since it was the one the story was based on. Who knows??

Do you have anything on the children of Joseph HOPPER/AnnaGREEN. One of my CLINE line m.a Joeseph HOPPER in KS. Howard Fitzpatrick

Judy: Here's all I have on my Winn: James W. Winn, born abt 1871 (probably MO), died abt 1951. He married 15 Nov 1899 to Ida M. Cubbage (my line) and they had (at least) one child, George Warren Winn, born 14 Nov 1906. Both the father and the son were doctors. I was told by Mrs. Cecil V. Boyd that prior to his marriage to Ida Dr. Winn was married to Mary Maude Dysart (Feb 1897), and I think Mary died shortly after they married, possibly in childbirth (Dec 1897). I'd like to confirm that with a Dysart researcher. Here are my notes on Dr. Winn: "WINN, JAMES WARREN B. 1871. Graduated 1895 from MO Medical College (now Washington Univ. School of Medicine). Licensed in MO: 1895. Lived in Higbee, Randolph County, MO for 1910,1920 and 1930 census. Higbee News: Friday, 28 June, 1918, Vol 32, No 11--DR. J. W. WINN TO BE CALLED-The Randolph Medical Society of Defense, at a meeting in Moberly the first of the week, selected Dr. J. W. Winn of this place as one of the Randolph county physicians for army service. All physicians in the county under 55 years, we learn, have been requested to fill out volunteer enlistment blanks which will be furnished them. Dr. Winn informs us that he expects to be called early this fall and that his drug store is for sale. In the event he does not find a buyer soon he will close out the stock by special sales. Higbee News: Friday, 14 Mar 1919, Vol 32. No 47--Dr. J. W. Winn, who was called home from Waco, Texas, by the death of his father-in-law, Harvey Cubbage missed connection at Kansas City and did not arrive until Sunday night. He is delighted with military service and does not expect to be discharged for some time to come. He returned to Waco yesterday. He was Commander of Higbee's WWI era Post of The American Legion and oversaw official burials of some returned bodies. The son, George Warren, became a physician and practiced in Boonville, Cooper County, MO." I'd love to know all the dates and places on this family. I can't find the date of death for Ida or Dr. Winn. I think they may be buried in Boonville, but I'm not sure. I'd like to know if there were other children. Also like to know if the son married, etc. Thanks, Charles Leach -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 6:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MoRandolph] Winn HI: I have a James W.

Dr. J. W. Winn's l95l obit is in my files in the Randolph Co Historical Society in Moberly, where I visit most Saturday AMs. I'll try to remember to copy it if I go there this Saturday. Mrs. Winn died before him, but I can't recall copying her obit. The editor of 'The Higbee News' died in l948, and I am working on a book based on articles written by him and his father. The News was sold and published for two or three years afterwards, and I copied some items of potential interest, including Dr. W's obit. I briefly knew Dr. Warren Winn since he was on the board of directors of a Boonville bank and my father operated the Higbee bank. We would see him at area bank meetings.
