Hello Claiborne County TN Mail List Subscribers: I am an Epperson descendant seeking information on the Epperson families in Claiborne, Hawkins, and Washington Co., TN. I am specifically interested in any records you might have for Joseph EPPERSON, who was born about 1795 in TN and died after 1880 in AL. Joseph Epperson married Mary Unknown about 1814. Mary was born about 1793 in TN and died after 1860 in AL. Joseph and Mary had the following children; all are presumed born in TN: i. Nancy EPPERSON born 1815. ii. Hulda EPPERSON born 1816. iii. Alsey Ellet? EPPERSON born 1818. iv. John Jackson EPPERSON born 1820. v. James Harrison EPPERSON born 1822. vi. Rutha Jane EPPERSON born 1825. vii. Mary EPPERSON born 1827. viii. Martha Ann EPPERSON born 1828. ix. Jesse Martin EPPERSON born 1830. x. Elizabeth EPPERSON born 1833. xi. Harriett Rebecca Gulledge EPPERSON born 1835. I have no records of Joseph Epperson�s early life, and have found no marriage record for Joseph and Mary. The records that I have noted in this message have been compiled from census records and Bible records attributed to Jesse Martin Epperson. It is likely that Joseph and Mary Epperson left TN some time after 1835. It is possible (but not proven) that Joseph lived for a short time in GA before removing to Coosa Co., AL. Two of Joseph's sons were married in Coosa Co., AL in 1843. Joseph was enumerated on the 1850 - 1870 census for Coosa Co., AL, and the 1880 census for Shelby Co., AL. According to the 1880 Shelby Co., AL census, Joseph Epperson's Father was born in Virginia and his Mother was born in Tennessee. Joseph was a farmer in early census records, although his occupation is most often recorded as a blacksmith. These records also indicate that Joseph could read and write. I would appreciate any advice, assistance or information you might lend in identifying the lineage of my ancestors, Joseph and Mary Epperson. Thank you, Linda Sharpe MacArthur Email: [email protected] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Jeremiah Hurst lived in Claiborne County (or at least owned land there) between 1820 and 1823, and probably before that. On 7 August 1820, he purchased fifty acres, "on the waters of Strout Creek", from Henry and Reuben Harper, for $140.00. On 17 March 1823, he sold this property to Anderson Keen. When he sold this property, he "headed west", a couple of counties, to Morgan County, where he lived until his death in 1854. I'm not certain that Jeremiah was in Claiborne County before 1820, but am reasonably certain that he was in East Tennessee as early as 1813. A Jeremiah HURST is listed as a corporal in Colonel Ewen Allison's Infantry Regiment, Captain Henry McCray's Company in the East TENNESSEE Militia during the War of 1812, and was later transferred to Captain Parrish's company, artillery. His service record indicates that he served between 5 January 1814 and 16 May 1814 and was paid a total $41.49 for his service. Also, his son Simeon, born about 1817, listed his place of birth as Tennessee on the 1850 & 1860 census, as did daughter Charlotte, a possible twin to Simeon. Like many/most of the Hursts who settled in or passrd through Claiborne County, Jeremiah came from Wythe County Virginia, where he was living as of the 1810 census. On that 1810 census, Jeremiah had three children, two boys and one girl, all under the age of ten. I have not been successful at finding the names of or any information on these three kids. One male, of the right age, shows up on the 1830 Morgan County Census in Jeremiah's household, but disappears before 1840 & is not mentioned in any county records. I guess it's entirely possible that these three kids either died, married and or left the area before they were ever listed on a census or in any other document, but I'd sure like to confirm that, one way or the other. If anyone has any info on Jeremiah Hurst in Claiborne County, or has any "unconnected" Hursts, born in Virginia between 1800 and 1810, I'd love to hear from you. I'm also interested in any "connection" to the Anderson Keen that he sold his land to. Jeremiah named one of his sons, born shortly after he left Claiborne, Anderson Hurst, so there "might have been" some family connection. Ernie Hurst
