Hi again, My GGGGrandfather was Jesse Oldham Jr, he was born in Caswell County, North Carolina in 1777, he married a woman by the name of Maria Duncan. Jesse died in 1845 in Estill Springs, Franklin County, TN. I don't know what year they migrated into TN, but spread out from there to MO, AR. I haven't made any connection at all with anyone in Mississippi on our side. I also have not come up with a black Oldham, could be out there, just haven't found it on my ancestry line. I have gone back to 1557. I know that one Moses Oldham, not mine, had slaves, sold out and went to Texas. My Moses Oldham died in TN somewhere between 1850 and 1860. They both were on the 1850 census but only the other Moses on the 1860 census so I assume mine died somewhere inbetween there. Jesse's children were: Moses, Henry, Joel, Eliazbeth Ann, Robert (twin), Tyree, William, Mary Ann, Tyree, Sarah (Sally), Richard (Money Ready), Anna, Francis (Frankie) Elias, Amy, Eda (Edith), John Kincheloe, Nathaniel, his parents were Jesee Oldham Sr. and Elizabeth Simpson. His siblings were, Jesse, George, Moses, Richard, Female Oldham, James, Judith, John, Elizabeth. Thanks for the info on the man in N.Carolina, will write to him and see if he knows anyone on my line of the Oldham's. Thanks, Shelia Oldham Wilburn
