While we're on this subject of migrations, I thought I would also include my Tennessee ancestors (or ancestors with connections to TN)! My ggg grandfather Nathaniel Rice was born about 1794 possibly in North Carolina, but lived in Sumner Co., TN with a brief stop in Hopkins Co., KY before migrating to Randolph Co., Missouri around 1835. Nathaniel Rice's mother-in-law Nancy Ann Blackman (who married Isham Uzzell in 1792 in Johnston Co., NC) also joined the group and was listed in the 1850 Randolph County, MO census at the age of 80 years old! My gg grandmother Catherine Goodman who married William Stark in 1824 was born in 1803 in either Albemarle Co., VA or Rutherford Co., TN. Her family lived in Rutherford Co., TN until about 1817/1818 before her widowed mother (Jane Craig who married George Goodman in 1796 in Albemarle Co., VA) migrated north to Washington Co., Indiana to be near Jane's parents -- John Craig and Margaret (Maiden Name Unknown). From Washington Co., Indiana, Catherine Goodman and husband William Stark moved to Randolph Co., MO about 1825 (with that possible detour to Maury Co., TN that I mentioned in an earlier post). Also joining Catherine and William were Catherine's mother Jane who died in 1855 in Randolph Co., MO, in addition to Catherine's siblings James Goodman, Elizabeth Goodman (married to William Ware), Jane Goodman (married to William Finnell), and 1/2 brother William Fugate. Finally, my ggg grandfather John Martin was living in Tennessee prior to his arrival in Randolph Co., MO (before 1830), but I have not yet located the county. Census records for his older children indicate they were living in Kentucky, but his daughter Araminta was born about 1826 in Tennessee and married my German immigrant gg grandfather John Brown in 1843 in Howard Co., MO.
