This PEARSON family is found in several middle TN county Census records: 1900 Bedford, 1910 Marshall, 1920 Giles, 1930 Rutherford. Most of the ch listed below lived as adults in either Marshall Co or Rutherford Co. Need help in contacting PEARSON descendants of James PERRY and Arena / Rena Frances BUCKINGHAM who m abt 1891/2, also any BALTIMORE, HILLIARD, or JOHNS descendants. I have been told that a Grady PEARSON of Lewisburg and a Mildred HASKINS who m a PEARSON may be related to this PEARSON family. James H? PERRY b abt 1850-1855 m Arena / Renee Frances BUCKINGHAM abt 1873 - 1909. She was one of 6 daus and 1 son b 1863 - 1875 to Peter BUCKINGHAM and Emily Frances "Milly" DICKENS. The BUCKINGHAM ch grew up in the area around Law's Hill between Chapel Hill and Lewisburg in Marshall Co that is behind (to the east) and slightly south of Henry Horton Park near Daniel and Hopper Cemeteries where many family members are buried. James and Renee (spelling on tombstone in Hopper Cemetery) had 4 ch: Hel(l)en or Ellen who m Robert PEARSON Ben PERRY who m 3 times, one wife was Maud(e), poss no ch Ada Louise PERRY b abt 1906 who m David "Nathaniel" HILLIARD Infant b and d May 1909 (d 15 May, 3 days after Renee d 12 May 1909) The 1900 Census places the PERRY family in Sims Spring, Bedford Co as follows: PERRY, Jim 49 (Census has b July 1850) Farm Laborer Rena 27 (nee BUCKINGHAM, Census has b Apr 1873) Ellen 4 (Census has b Apr 1896) Remie 10/12 (mistranscription of Bennie on microfilm) (Census has b July 1899) (Census has mar 8 yrs, 2? of 3 ch living.) At the top of the same Census page, Ozro CALDWELL 6, b Jan 1894, is enumerated. He would later marry Maggie A BUCKINGHAM, only dau of Rena's older brother, Wm Joseph "Joe" BUCKINGHAM and Ada Louise BROMLEY. Ozro served in Germany during WW I, returning to TN w/ TB from which he died 16 Feb 1922. Ozro and Maggie had one son, James CALDWELL b 31 Dec 1920 who currently lives on Hwy 270, and one dau, Frances Louise CALDWELL b 22 Dec 1921, who died when she was about 2 weeks old. Maggie d 2 Aug 1923 also of TB, leaving young James CALDWELL an orphan to be raised by his maternal grandparents, "Joe" and Ada BUCKINGHAM. In the 1910 Dist 2 Marshall Co Census, the family is listed as: PERRY, James H 54 Ellen 14 m Robert PEARSON Benjamin F 10 m 3 times, one wife was Maud(e) ?? Ada L 3 m David "Nathaniel" HILLIARD NOTE: Wife Rena died May 1909. In 1920, I found the PEARSON family in Pulaski, Giles Co, TN as follows: PEARSON, Robert 36 Laborer / Phosphate Mines Mattie 21 (2nd wife ? maiden name ? correct age ?) Thomas 7 Son Christine 3 9/12 Dau Odell 7/12 Son I find this most interesting because the family members who told me about their PEARSON cousins never mentioned Robert's wife being anyone other than Hel(l)en / Ellen PERRY or references to her dying young. Mattie is obviously NOT Hel(l)en / Ellen whose age from the 1910 Census places her bd as 1895/6, thus having an age just a year or two younger than that of Robert, abt 1893/4. OR is Mattie another name for Hel(l)en / Ellen and her age in 1920 just way off (as they sometimes are - see Robert's ages in the 1920 and 1930 census records) ? When and where did Hel(l)en / Ellen PERRY PEARSON die ? The 1930 Census places The PEARSON's (for the most part) in Murfreesboro, Rutherford Co, TN as follows: PEARSON, Robert 35 Laborer / Lumber Mill (who is 1 yr younger than he was 10 years earlier in the 1920 Census when he was 36) NOTE: No wife is listed. Thomas 17 (may have lived Lewisburg area) Christine 13 (may have worked at Marshall Co Couthouse) Odell 10 (may have served in WW II, poss never mar) Mary A 6 (the only name Not given to me by cousins) Lulla 4 (Lucille ?) Eva M 3 Also in 1930, two other known ch of Robert PEARSON are enumerated in Dist 1 Marshall Co with Hel(l)en / Ellen PERRY PEARSON's younger sister's (Ada PERRY HILLIARD's) family as follows: HILLIARD, Nathaniel 28 Ada L 23 Wife (nee PERRY) Mary E 6 Dau, mar Charles JOHNS Maxie L 4 5/12 Dau, mar Jesse BALTIMORE PERRY, James 75 Father-in-law HILLIARD, Hellen P 9 Niece PEARSON, Possibly m Clarence HILLIARD, relative of Nathaniel ? Eugene 7 Nephew PEARSON, thought to have worked in AL It seems unlikely that if Hellen b abt 1920/1 and Eugene b abt 1922/3 were NOT the children of Ada's older sister, Hel(l)en / Ellen b abt 1895/6, that they would be living w/ Ada Louise PERRY HILLIARD in 1930. Most grateful for any additions, corrections, and help in contact any members of this PERRY / PEARSON, etc family. Janice

Can anyone give me more info re the family of Benjamin F PERRY 37 that I found in the 1930 Shelbyville Census ? I am seeking some info on his parents and siblings in order for me to be able to ascertain if he might be the Benjamin F PERRY that I am trying to find. Was Ben married more than one time ? What was Maud's maiden name ? Did they have any children ? Enumerated with Benjamian F PERRY 37 was: Maude B 38 Wife Age of marriage indicates they had been married about 5 years. Their occupations were listed respectively as: Night Watchman / Hosiery Mill and Seamer / Hosiery Mill Most grateful for any help. Janice

Betty, Perhaps I did not understand your post. The site has William Marion Pylant married to Nancy Delk. Their children were (from the site) Fannie, John Morgan, Zula B. Ada, and Carried Beatrice. >From wife Fannie Phelps: Emma P., Lester P., Bettie, William P, and Annie. Look under Nancy Delk, for the children are listed under her name. You just have to hunt around for the other info. There would not be info on the site of people that are still alive or if their family did not want the info there. All females are listed by their maiden name on the site.

I went to the web site mentioned but unless you know their married name there is no way to find them and the ones I did know were listed as private.

You might try going to the site for Civil War Sailors and Soldiers http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss as this site will sometimes give more info on company units and their soldiers, including places of death. You can get a brief history of where/when the unit served in the war. Virginia Greene

Index to Chancery Court Records, Volume 1, Part 3, 1840-1848 > (Steve Carson)

We have just finished indexing: Chancery Court Enrollment Dockets Volume B July 1848 - Feb. 1851 Charles Reeves has posted this index to the Bedford County TN GenWeb site at: http://www.tngenweb.org/bedford/Chancery_minutes/CHC_ED_B_index.htm This is a full "every name" index. These "Enrollment Dockets" contain copies of a wide variety of papers to various cases and filed with the court. These include bills, answers, court orders, reports of the clerks etc. The material looks to us very similar to what is recorded in Chancery Court Minutes. All of the posted court record indices may be accessed from this page: http://www.tngenweb.org/bedford/court.htm Steve

Marty Mendez has abstracted the 1946 Obituaries from the Shelbyville Gazette. I have created html pages from her abstracts and Charles Reeves has posted them on the Bedford County TNGenWeb pages. You can access them at: http://www.tngenweb.org/bedford/Obituaries/Obituary_Index_1946.htm Thank you Marty for all the great work that you do!

I am not showing an obit in the Shelbyville Gazette. What you are looking at is the "index" to the death certificates which gives the date of deaths and the death certificate number. I do not have the death certificates, just the index (sorry). You can order the death certificate from TSLA or get a copy of it if you want to go to the Tenneessee State Library and Archives. It is possible another town ran his obit and possibly in the Nashville paper; however, I only have the Shelbyville Gazette. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Marty, I can proof for you, but it may take a while. I went back to work Part time, and then Ben wrecked his car which put me back on carpool, so my time is limited lately. Typos are a way of life. If we were perfect, then I'd be able to remember to have bookmarked the original page. LOL At any rate, I so appreciate you and Steve doing this. The last time I was at the archives I got some photocopies of my Edde ancestor. Cost me a small fortune, but it was so interesting. He actually got a pardon from Andrew Jackson (at least I think that was who, it's been a while. <G>) I can't wait to have time to type it all in and scan the documents. That was my Christmas present from my husband last year, and I still haven't had time to open the file folder. He took his case all the way to the Supreme Court and we were able to find the records at TSLA. I mainly found the typos I found because they were my family. I probably wouldn't recognize others, unless they were obvious like the Crick to Brick one. But I knew you'd want to fix them since the Internet (as I tell my kids) is forever.
