Did you know that Hiram Haigler was reintered on Oct 17, 1883 from Arlington Cem, DC to the Confederate section in Oakwood Cem. in Raleigh, NC? He is in one of two mass graves of 107 Confederates that died in the Washington area (most were POW). I had a monument put up a few years ago over their grave site. Charles

Ida, Thanks for sharing your information with me. If I run across any of those names in my researches, I'll pass the information on along to you. Louise

Edmond Mullis might have more likely been shoot down in the 1930's. I am guessing. Papa was born 1921. But remembers his funeral when papa was very young (very young child) tina Smith

Thanks -- this reminds me, has anyone heard if Marguerite Stegall was able to connect her Joseph Stegall to any of the other Stegalls? When I was speaking with her, she felt strongly that her line was kin to mine other than through her Uncle Charles Luther and Aunt Rena Malone (Lonnie or Lona) Chaney Stegall. This is all I have on her family though. 1-- Joseph Stegall (1812-1888) ,Anson County,North Carolina sp-Sara Jane or Sarah Jane Hasty (1812-1890) ,Anson County,NC 2-- Benjamin H.

I am looking for a shooting of Edmond Mullis who was shoot down by the law of union county Nc probably in the late 1800's or early 1900's. He was chased for running moonshine. (Newspaper) Resulting in his death. thanks, Tina Tarlton smith

Ida, I forgot to mention that I some of my Threadgill, Manus and Leak slave marriages were recorded after that fact in 1866. Linda http://members.tripod.com/~Linda_T Threadgill, Copeland, Harrison, Parker, Boon, Sullivan, Leake, Manus, Moore, Williams, Austin, Horn, Howell, Weaver, Eley and many others.

I know that the Freedman's Bureau was set up to record marriages around 1866. They were also used to help former slaves with getting jobs and assisting with financial aid. Many of their records are at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Linda http://members.tripod.com/~Linda_T Threadgill, Copeland, Harrison, Parker, Boon, Sullivan, Leake, Manus, Moore, Williams, Austin, Horn, Howell, Weaver, Eley and many others.

Thanks! You can always be counted on for good information. I do find it interesting, very. Do anyone else agree that it seems odd that the rules changed *after* the War and which means, to me, that during slavery the races could inter-marry . . . ? Strange. I know that in some countries, being converted to an acceptable religion allowed one race to be married to another, but during slavery that's odd to me. Maybe the restriction was on legal approvals of the marriages performed prior to 1872 . . . ? Isn't history fascinating and perplexing . . . Again, thanks Julie.

Since there's been some recent discussion of the Stegall family: DEATH OF JASPER NEWTON STEGALL Printed in Confederate Veteran Magazine, Vol. XXXIV, No. 3, March 1926. Jasper N. STEGALL, who died at St. Louis, Mo., on January 27, 1926, was born in Union County, N.C., near Monroe, the county seat, on the 2nd of September, 1840. In the fall of 1857, his father, W. L. STEGALL, moved to Tennessee and settled near Lexington, in Henderson County. Jasper STEGALL volunteered for the Confederacy in 1861, in Jackson, Tenn., and served with the 13th Tennessee Regiment, Vaughan’s Brigade, Cheatham’s Division, Hardee’s Corp, Army of Tennessee, in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama; and surrendered at Greensboro, N.C., on the 26th of April, 1865. He went to Louisville, Ky., in the fall of 1866, and traveled for a wholesale dry goods house for ten years, during which time he married Miss Laura WEST. Going to St. Louis in 1876, he then engaged in the cotton commission business in which he was engaged for forty-six years, retiring in 1922. He is survived by his second wife, two sons, and one daughter, also two granddaughters. Comrade STEGALL was a member of the United Confederate Veterans, Tuscan Lodge A.F. and A.M., also of the Second Baptist Church of St. Louis, Mo. Julie

Thought you all may find this interesting since we've been on the subject lately: THE NEW MARRIAGE LAW (1872) As printed in The Southern Home (Charlotte, NC), Monday, June 24, 1872 (Originally printed in the Biblical Recorder, date unknown) This act of the last Legislature will be in force from the first day of July, 1872. It prohibits the marriage of males under 16 and of females under 14; limits Whites, Blacks and Indians to their respective races. Parties under 18 years of age can not obtain license without the consent of their parents or some near relative with whom they reside. The license must give the full names of the parties and of their parents, their ages, color and place of residence. If a minister or magistrate marries without proper license, or fail within two months thereafter to make a return of the names, ages, color and residences of the parties, attested by at least three witnesses, he is to pay a fine of $200. Marriage contracts to defraud creditors are void. Husbands are not liable for debt of wives, contracted before marriage. By written agreements of the parties, any wife may become a “free trader.” The Superior Courts may grant divorces, for desertion, when one party shall “maliciously turn the other out of doors,” “endanger the life of the other,” “render life burdensome,” or “become an habitual drunkard.” Either man or wife eloping with another party forfeits all claim on the person or the property of the party forsaken. In granting a divorce, the Judge is to give proper orders in regard to the support and education of the children. Julie

Julie, would you please check your book for the name of Medlin from 1925 to 1900. thank you, Reba

Monroe Enquirer, Saturday, April 13, 1878 -Died in Monroe township on the 2nd of March, 1878, Mrs. Tirzah SECREST, wife of Jacob SECREST, Esq.; aged 66 years. Monroe Enquirer, Saturday, January 3, 1880 -We hear of a few serious cases of illness in Monroe-Typhoid Fever. The family of our friend Milas S. SECREST, living some 4 miles north of this place, have been sorely affected this Fall and Winter with this fever, having had ten cases... three cases proved fatal-first a babe 11 months old, some 4 weeks ago, and then two deaths occurred on the 25th of December ...these last being one son, Durant, aged 21 years and another son, Seabom (sic), aged 17 years. Three sons and 2 daughters are still sick... Saturday, January 10, 1880 -We regret to learn that Mr. Milas S. SECREST lost another member of his family on last Saturday night - a daughter. (same issue:) -Died in Monroe Township on the 4th inst., of typhoid fever, after an illness of 35 days, Eliza J. SECREST, daughter of Milas S. and S. C. SECREST. Saturday, January 17, 1880 -Died in this township on the 17th inst., Alonzo R., son of M. S. and S. C. SECREST, aged 8 years. Saturday, January 24, 1880 -Died in this township on the 17th inst., of Typhoid fever, Wm. R. SECREST, son of M. S and S. C. SECREST, aged 20 years. Saturday, May, 1, 1880 -Rev. C. A. PLYLER will preach a funeral sermon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. SECREST, four miles North of Monroe, on the 3rd Sunday in May - touching on the death of children of that gentleman, which occurred several weeks ago. -Rev. J.D.A. SECREST, of Monroe township, is the possessor of a relic of the Revolutionary war; which he values very highly. It is a musket, which was captured at the Battle of King's Mountain by Maj. John SECREST, who was a brother of Mr. SECREST'S grandfather, and it has been in the SECREST family ever since. When Mr. SECREST'S father, a few years ago, gave him the gun, he cautioned him particularly never to let it go out of the family, and when Mr. SECREST started to bring it to town with him a few days ago, his son was earnest in his request that it should not be sold. The gun is a flint and steel musket-and it never misses fire. It is Mr. SECREST'S companion on his hunting expeditions, and he assured us that he has brought down many a fine "gobbler" with it. It is 6 feet 7 inches long including the bayonet, and weighs 13 pounds. On the upper end of the lock are the letters and figures E D G E -1760. On the right hand side of the lock is an engraving of a crown and underneath it the letters G R I P . On the left of the lock are the figures 8-30. The gun is well preserved and in the hands of a "good shot" is just as capable of doing deadly execution as in the day when it was used to shoot down the patriot soldiers of the Revolution.-Monroe Enquirer.
