He was buried in Caldwell Co. It is possible that he did not move but new counties were created. Don't take this as proven fact.

Good Evening Friends: I'm going through files in preparation of scanning them onto CDs. I have a hornets nest concerning the ANTHONY family of the Catawba area as featured in German Speaking People. About the time I think I have them sorted out someone is generous and throws another monkey wrench into the mix. Do any of you have access to Burke Co. Probate or other court records for the years 1810-1820? I have a Mary Anthony who m. about 1780 to John Blackwell, a Rev. War Veteran. He was b. in Culpepper Co., VA and died in Hickman Co., TN. He and Mary lived for a time in Abbeville Co., SC then to Franklin Co., GA where she apparently died. He then moved back to Burke Co. in Oct. 1810 with his younger children where he petitioned the court at that time for their guardianship. Best I can glean is that they were to inherit from their grandfather, Paul Anthony's estate. Another paper filed by an older son Jesse Blackwell as power of attorney for John to collect his share of same estate. I have two dates on this 1810 and 1814. Paulus Anthony, SR was deceased by 1805. Other Paul Anthonys died between 1805-1820. When I was doing GSP in early 90s I did not pursue the court records from the 1810-1820 time period and have not had the opportunity to do so since. The Blackwells believe this Mary was daughter of Paulus and Sophronica, but this doesn't fit. We do know that they had a daughter Anna Maria (Mary Ann) who m. John Mull (my 4th grgrandparents). Records show there were at least 3 or more Paul Anthonys on Burke Co records between 1805 & 1820. As I work with the Paulus and Sophronica's family I can say with certainity that they had sons, Paul, Jr., Abraham, Phillip, Martin and probability of Jacob. There are a couple of daughters that have to be theirs, but I'm still struggling with them too. If any of you have anything in the way of proof to share I would appreciate any help. The Anthony records are still enough to boggle the mind. My deepest gratitude always, Lorena

I know---SMITH! I have hopes that someone out there can help me with my line. This is as far back as I know. Solomon Smith was born 1775 in Virginia and married Martha (?) who was born 1775 in Spartanburg Dist., SC. They came to Lincoln Co. TN with their family, and later moved to IL and they died in Marion Co., IL. Two of their sons, William and Chaney, stayed in TN. I am from the line of Chaney Lafayette Smith. Thanks for any help.

You probably have more info than I on her family but I have seen them listed in the census in Burke County NC for 1880, A boarder Crossing at Sumas Washington when she moved back to the states and Census Records in Washington State for 1920 and 1930. I was fortunate enough to know my great grandmother and was in my early teens when she passed away. She is buried in Seattle Washington at Washelli Cemetery in the Eastern Star Section. I have attached files for the records I mentioned above but don't know if they will come through. I would love to talk with you and find out your connection to this family. If you respond to this post we may be able to connect privately. Hope to hear from you. Denise Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Thanks for your help. I am trying to see if there is a connection between Peter Fincannon and Hugh Erwin (Ervin). Hugh's wife, Jemima, died in 1844. I have not discovered her last name but I was hoping that after her death, Hugh and family may have lived near members of her family to help with the care of six children. Thanks again.
