If you look back in the 1850 Census in Brady's Rock or Bradyville, there is a Alexander Inglis, born in the 1700's in NC. I would suspect him to be the father of Andrew. Note also, there is a Andrew J. and a Andrew D., living in the same area. I also found a Andrew J. Inglish in the 8th Inf of Baxter Smith. Kevin

I remember my uncle's half brother, Marshall Mooneyham, of Shelbyville, TN. Always had something good to say about anyone or anything. Kevin

There seems to be several reasons for name changes in the 19th century. The vast majority of rural folks couldn't read or write, especially by today's standards. Census takers were not much better & were often political appointments, with little or no consideration of their literate abilities. Census takers often took info from children, when the parents were out in the fields, etc. even from neighborhood children, or so I have been told. After all, it was a long way back into the Smith Hollow, to find the Smith Family. Didn't want to make too many trips, if you could help it. In this area, the 1880 census was taken in the dead of winter, so the weather didn't help. Also, foreign born folks, of which there were many during this era, would sometimes "westernize" their names, so as to blend in with the local folks. And, there was also the dreaded "war tax", which the new "union backed" government imposed on locals, to pay for the war. Many families would change their names slightly, in an attempt to hide from the tax collectors. Jess Lewis

You are so right about the names. Rodney Dangerfield said " What's in a name " ? Just because you are not blood does not mean you are not Family. Many people back then had taken in children and raised them as their own and even gave them their name. My own father was raised by an uncle after his father died when he was eight. Dad thought of him more as dad than his own dad. I always thought of him as my grandfather when I was young. He was Harvey carrick. If it had not been for him, my dad might have neded up somewhere else in the Depression. You think you talk funny down there. Go to maine and talk to them. Those people eat gravy on their fish !!! Kevin

My understanding is that 'Inglis' is the Scottish spelling of 'English.' The Scottish pronunciation for Inglis is closer to 'In-guhls.' So, if the Inglis family is originally from Scotland, they would be very possessive of the Scottish spelling. I have found in various census Inglis/English relatives with the last name spelled 'Ingles,' which means the enumerator may have heard the Scottish pron. As Jess just wrote, some families and enumerator's were not known for their literacy! The same goes for remembering how old everyone in the family is...or people going by their first name some years, middle name other years... Then, just for fun, throw in the 'r' that fell down to the southern states from the NE states...Jameson becomes Jamerson...Emeline becomes Emerline... We folk just all have to muddle through the best we can in 2006, but that is part of the fun of genealogy! Deirdre

If any of you working on DICKENS come across Daniel DICKENS b abt 1812 TN (according to 1850 and 1860 Census records, so might be NC or ?), please let me know. I have been looking for Daniel's family since the early '70's. Daniel DICKENS appears in nearby Bedford and Marshall Cos, TN. Looking for parents / siblings of Daniel DICKENS who was b abt 1812 TN. He died in 1874 in Bedford Co, TN. Daniel m Matilda PUTNAM / PUTMAN abt 1814 SC - 1870 TN and they lived in Bedford Co (1840 Census) and Marshall Co (1850 and 1860 Census), TN. Are there any DICKENS researchers on this List that might know or have some possible candidates for this Daniel ? Daniel and Matilda are my husband's GG gps and I'll be glad to share what I have on their descendants if I can find his family. Janice

Yes, I believe the Inglis/Inglish/English families in that area are all related. They just varied the spelling a lot (or maybe it was varied for them). My mother was very insistent that it was "Inglish" with an "I" and not "E" ("English"). Other family members seem to have similar stories. From what I can see the older records are more likely to have it "English". Anyone have a clue as to why there would be strong feeling over the spelling of a name?

Kevin, thank you. I have the other pension application for Willaim Phillips and it was a different William. As far as I know there was only one William C. in Cannon Co. This has got to be mine. He's probably buried in an unmarked grave in Cannon Co. I also bought Jess's wonderful Cemetery book. He and his wife did an outstanding job collecting all the information. William C.'s daugher is in the book. I want to thank you again for your help. Thanks to Jess for his help and for keeping us all informed. Glenna In a message dated 3/25/2006 9:45:42 A.M.

I have found a contact number for Amy Brown Dickens. I do not know how current it is though. I show her husband, Joe, age 67 and Amy, age 63, lived in Brentwood, TN. But on a current search of Amy, I show this phone number. It is in Crossville, TN. I would suspect this is her at some time. Because she was the Director of the DAR in that area. If someone wants to call this number and ask, maybe she can give you what she has on Baxter Dickins. She can tell you who has the Family Bible. I do not have long distance service. Dickens, Amy Crossville, TN 38558 931-456-9850 Thanks, Kevin Morgan

Thanks, Kevin. I've been to that grave site. I'm still unsure that the William Phillips buried there is mine. Did he marry a third time ? I've also seen the marriage license book listing William marrying Ann Gaither. Of course its possible. Thanks, Glenna White In a message dated 3/25/2006 10:08:55 A.M.

Also, the fact, in 1812, we had a War with England. People probably did not want their name as English and changed the E to an I.. Then after the War Between the States, they probably went back to the E again. Jess is correct about the spellings. In research on the Morgan Book, we found Morgan, Margan, Morgen and Morgain, all in Warren and Cannon Counties. Still looking for a contact for Amy Brown Dickins. Kevin

In the early 1970's, my aunt in Bedford County, had a Doctor named Derryberry ??? Kevin Morgan
