Looking in the Bedford County Cemetery book there is not one McCoy. However, in the Marshall County Cemetery book there are several. Maybe they lived on the west side of Bedford County close to the Marshall County line. anyway, here are the names of the McCoys buried in Marshall County. pg 122 Jacob McCoy Mar 16, 1833 Dec 15, 1902 pg 122 Margareta Greggs McCoy Jan 25, 1840 May 30, 1913 pg 201 George W. McCoy Mar 28, 1875 Aug 5, 1957 pg 221 Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. McCoy 1920-1920 pg 236 Willie H., son of J.T. & L.I. McCoy June 13, 1916 Sep 9, 1918 Mrs. Lucy Irene McCoy 1893-1937 (TM) pg 237 James Edward McCoy 1953 - 1953 Margaret Ann McCoy 1950 - 1950 William Earl McCoy 1947-1947 pg 239 Lebert McCoy Jun 5, 1892 Dec 22, 1965 & Icie W. McCoy Jan 30, 1892 still alive at time book published pg 265 James Edward McCoy Aug 22, 1882 Jan 1969 & Rachel Hawkins McCoy Apr 19, 1886 Jun 12, 1954 pg 267 John Thomas McCoy 1861 - 1938 Dona Andrews McCoy 1857 - 1939 pg 316 Father Burr McCoy Nov 30, 1898 Still alive at time book published Mother Adell McCoy Dec 31, 1897 Jun 21, 1972 I feel all of these are after the family left but I thought if I was going to look them up I should go ahead and give you the names just in case some of them went back to this area after they were grown. Checked the 1880 Census for Bedford County and found no McCoy's listed at all. Also checked the book Bedford County Wills by Marsh and found no McCoys listed Good luck in your search.

I think this has already been answered, but just in case it hasn't. I don't know if Salt Lake has copies, but the TN state archives and the Shelbyville Library has copies and you can obtain them thru inter-library loan.

Hello List, Where in Bedford Co. is Civil Distict No. 11 located? This is a US Census District. Thanks for a reply. Ann

Hello List, I am researching Charles L. BYRN/BYRNE and his family in the 1850 census 1850 Bedford Co. TN Census Civil District No. 11 Household No. 165 Charles L. BYRN/BYRNE Age: 67 White Male Farmer 1000 acres Born in Virginia There is a white female age 26 living in this household. The census is so blurry I can't read it. Who is she? Oscar W. S. BYRN Civil District No.11 Household No. 167 White Male Age 30 Wagon Maker Born in TN Catharine BYRN Wife Age 26 Born in TN Children Mary Frances Charles Oscar is probably the son of Charles L BYRN/BYRNE. Anyone else interested in the BYRN/BYRNE families of Bedford Co. TN? Thanks and would like to share information Ann

Gloria, Thanks for what you did today!! I have a little sign hanging in my office that I'd like to share with you and your children........... "THERE IS NO EXPIRATION DATE ON MEMORIES" thanks again!!! Lois

Thank you Gloria! That was so special! I have always found it so sad that so many graves are forgotten and not cared for. Thank you for your thoughtfullness!

That's priceless. What a gift to your childen! The love of family history.

My son and I, along with a friend , and her 4 children went together to various area cemeteries today to check on the stones of our ancestors, clean them, remember the ones we knew and discuss our discoveries of the ones we did not know. Our children range in age from 18 down to 3. We saw the three year old picking moss with her soft baby fingers off of a 104 year old gravestone, and we saw the 18 year old holding the kids up to the window of a family tomb and reading them the plaques located in the gloom of the closed interior. We found the 8 year old looking for the oldest grave, the dirtiest grave, the prettiest, we saw a ten year old picking grass from around flat cement stones, and remember the gravesite of his 4th great grandfather, when he'd only seen it once before. We saw all of them, along with ourselves, having our eyes and our attention caught, not by the graves with the largest or brightest display of flowers, but by those graves so long in place that they could not even be identified, those grave plots so large, with so many members of the same surname, the moss and lichen obliterating the names and dates... and there were more than can be imagined. Each one of us took extra flowers and read the stones we could, and we remembered them, as best we could, by what was written there. Where the stone was worn and bare of fact we cleaned a few weeds and placed a little offering there, not to the spirit long departed, but to God, who knows them all. I hope that your departed loved ones near and far have had someone visit them today. God Bless. gloria ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I find your post about the Haile family interesting. Would you happen to know about a Finetta Hale or Haile who lived close to the Lincoln, Bedford and Marshall County line in Tenn. Parents unkown. Married John Nichols ca 1835. Had a son named Moses Carroll Nichols. John Nichols had a brother Henry who named a child Christopher Columbus. Course I know they use Christopher in famlies quite ofton. But using the Carrol name is a good lead for anyone to go by. The Nichols family left Tenn and went to Fannin, Collin and Grayson Counties in Texas. Which you know borders Cooke County. Some even went to Montague County which borders to the west of Cooke. Anyway like I said I know nothing about the Haile line. If you can help I sure would like to hear what you may know. Who is the Mary Louisa Nichols who md Leeford Hudson? And where did they marry? Hope you have a nice and rewarding reunion. Gay Nix Grayson Co, Texas >Livy Ann Cavin & Mead J.

Livy Ann Cavin & Mead J. Haile Decendants To Meet At Hibbitt Cemetery, Cooke County, TX June 15, 2002 Many distant Haile cousins met over the internet while researching the Mead J. Haile family who lived long ago in Bedford County, TN, Stone County, MO, and Cooke County, TX. These meetings have led to shared research, to friendships, to ancestor write ups for the Bedford County Tennessee History Book soon to be released, and finally to a new tombstone for their Great-Great Grandmother Livy Ann Cavin Haile who died in Cooke County in 1882. The 120 year old tombstone was found broken in half, and the cousins feared the grave would be lost. The cousins will meet one another for the first time on June 15 at Hibbitt Cemetery in Cooke County, Texas to dedicate the new headstone. Mead J. and Livy Ann Cavin Haile moved to Texas from Missouri around the end of the Civil War with eight of their twelve children. Two of the children, Jackson Overstreet and Eliza Jane, stayed in Missouri with their new families, and two sons, William Carrol and Christopher Columbus, were killed in the Civil War. The following children moved with them to Cooke County: Leeford Hudson married Mary Louisa Nichols and lived in Collin County and Cooke Co, TX as well as Oklahoma Co, OK, James Thomas married Mary Beaver Hodges lived in Spur, Texas and is buried in Utopia, Texas, Mary Elizabeth married James K.
