Taylor Carter Fain is also my GG grandmother. She lived with her son Alvin Fain until her death in 1947. My mother, Callie Mae Fain Mowdy was named after Callie Mae Carter Darnell. She has many fond memories of Grandma growing up. You said your grandparents are Uncle Hillary and Aunt Ida. Who are your parents? I remember going over to Eidson for Family reunions at Uncle Hillary and Aunt Ida's. My mother was born just down the lane from their house. The house is still standing. I have a picture of Grandma Amanda with my mother and sibling that I got from Callie Mae Darnell. I'd love to hear from you.

I would like to give you a little more information on my side of the Taylors. John Richard Taylor and Sarah Jane Forrester are my GGG grandparents. Their Daughter Amanda Jane is my GG Grandmother. Her 2nd marriage was to Earnest Fain 1844-1917 not Aaron Fain. There is no Aaron Fain in Rogersville at that time. Their son is Alvin Fain married Lee Della Price. I noticed that some of the names were incorrect or spelled wrong. The information you have here is great. I did go back and search census records. I noticed that in 1850 census that Margaret is living with sons Sion and Richard and a woman Nancy Pearce. Who is she? Margaret Pierce's husbands name is John Richard or just John????. Can you tell me what John's father's name was? I can't seem to find him before 1850. I did notice a William Taylor living in Carter County about the same time that John would have died. They look to be about the same age and they are livin! g pretty close to the Buckles, Blevins, or Taylors. Any information will be appreciated.

The first book published originally in 1926 and states that the will can be found in the court house in Elizabethton,Carter County Tn. and was witnessed as such by the Deputy County Clerk Geo F. Young in 1924. The later publication from 1961 mentions the will as being part of the first book but states that it is not recorded in the present Carter County will books. My question is was there a fire or did they move part of the records somewhere else and is that the reason why later researcher's where unable to locate it. I would really like to find the original of this will. I am a decendent of Valentine through his daughter Catherine Matlock who is mentioned in said will Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Dear List, I would like to make contact with anybody connected with this Thomas Johnson. I believe he was married 3 times: Lucy Edwins/Eddins, Frances "Fannie" Dickinson, and Susannah Wright. Always willing to exc. info to benefit each researcher. Regards, Judy in TX

To make the census transcription project at http://files.usgwarchives.org/tn/carter/census/1850/ even more useful, I made a free GEDCOM file out of it. This file can be imported into any genealogy software (open a new folder!) and read by a variety of utilities. This is a finding aid for the census transcription project. This free GEDCOM file is at http://gedcomlibrary.com/gedcoms/v209252.ged and is linked at http://gedcomlibrary.com/vitals.html Tom Alciere

Author: dsizemore57 Surnames: Carter Sizemore Fain Fields Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.tennessee.counties.carter/384.8/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have some new info about Amanda Jane Taylor and her son Cicero Carter. Amanda was my great-grandmother. This is somewhat long and mostly witness recollections of family history and I apologize in advance. I met with Cicero Carter's daughter Callie Mae Carter Darnell a couple of weeks ago here in Kingsport, TN. She is my second cousin and by far the oldest relative I have still living. She is 98 years old and still sharp as a tack and looks at least twenty years younger. She still had a lot of memories of her grandmother Amanda as she and her brother Lincoln lived with her after her parents died until she moved away to get married. Callie Mae was born June 25, 1911. Her brother Lincoln C. Carter was born Nov. 14, 1907 and died April 1, 1977 from prostate cancer. According to her, her mother Victoria Fields originally of Speers Ferry, VA gave birth to a total of five children, three who died in infancy and she died in childbirth of the fifth. Callie Mae and Lincoln were the only ones that survived infancy. She said she was two when her mother died and she was about five when her dad Cicero died, so you can guesstimate their dates of death from that recollection. Cicero and ! Victoria both died where they lived in the village of Willow Shoals, KY (not Harlan, KY) and were buried along with their infants in the little overgrown cemetery there. Cicero worked on a rock crusher in Willow Shoals, KY. After her father died, she and Lincoln were brought back to Pumpkin Valley (Eidson, Hawkins County, TN) to live with Grandma Carter (as she and Lincoln called Amanda). She was referred to as Granny Fain by my family due to her remarriage to Ernest Fain in 1885. Callie Mae and Lincoln refused to call her Grandma Fain as the Carters' didn't like Ernest Fain due to him reputedly having another family on the sly in Rogersville, TN (where he was from), even as an old man! He died in Rogersville, go figure. He was 13 years older than Amanda. He also was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War (his family owned slaves) and everyone in Pumpkin Valley was staunchly Union. Amanda's first husband Henry Carter's dad Winfield was a Union soldier and POW. Amanda had a little house high up on the ridge across the valley from where her daughter Minnie Ida lived with her husband H.W. Sizemore (my grandparents). Minnie Ida (always known as Ida to everyone) and her brothers Rev. Andrew Jackson (Jack) Carter, Cicero Carter and Amanda's second set of children with Ernest Fain were all raised there. All were grown and moved out by the time Callie Mae and Lincoln moved in to live with Amanda. She was described as being a very happy person with a very boisterous laugh and she was very kind to them and raised them like they were her own children. Callie Mae helped Amanda around her place and her brother Lincoln worked on Aunt Ida and Uncle Hillery (H.W.) Sizemore's farm along with their kids to help provide for the families until he moved away as an adult to Kingsport to work at Tennessee Eastman. Lincoln didn't marry until he was almost forty to Catherine Richards. They had three children, Tommy, Nancy & Vickie, all still living. Nancy is Callie Mae's chauffeur and keeps an eye on her as she lives right below her. I'll try to get more meaningful info about Callie Mae and Lincoln's families next time I see her. I apologize once again for the length of this this but hoping some of the info might be useful. David A.

Taylor's war pension files. Something I'm wondering about: what was his middle name? Also, why was a guardian appointed for the children as being orphans even though their mother was alive and had remarried to William J. Price? Was it a legal issue at the time because she remarried? I'm a bit puzzled by all this. Thanks! David Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
