Looking for information on Clinton Robinson/Robertson. And daughter Hattie Ruth. Supposedly, Clinton and his wife, Beceyann Furay left 3 children orphaned. I have found no death records for them. Pryor, Riley and Hattie. I have not been able to find anything on this family except much later when Pryor and Riley were in Oregon. Hattie married John Milligan in 1905 I think and lived in Bell County, KY. Sometime in 1900, Hattie had a son, Homer. Would like to find out who the father was. I know he went by the Milligan name, but not sure that is was his birth name. Can anyone offer some direction? I've struggled with this group for several years now and always come up empty handed. Thanks, Kathy

Can anyone tell me which part of Claiborne County was listed as District #2 (East Part) in the 1930 census? I'm trying to narrow down the part of the county my relatives lived in during that period. Any help would be greatly appreeciated. Thanks, Jerry Philpot. ________________________________________________________________________ Check out AOL.com today.

Pam `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````` The following new message has been posted on Forum at . *************************************************************************** MESSAGE: (#444) Henderson Yoakum, John McCary AUTHOR: Roger Moore DATE: Friday, 14 July 2006, at 5:00 p.m. I'm writing to the Claiborne County, TN Genweb query site for information on one definite county native (Yoakum) and another possible (McCrary). I am very interested in locating information on both Henderson Yoakum and a John McCrary or Mcreary. McCrary was born in 1828 and living in Huntsville, Walker County, Texas, by about 1854. John McCrary was the Huntsville, Texas, law partner of Claiborne County, TN, native Henderson King Yoakum (Birth: 6 Sep 1810 in Powell Valley, Claiborne County). Mr. McCrary was also described as a competent surveyor, and we are especially interested in this aspect of his career. My firm is doing the first "battlefield archeology" at the San Jacinto Battlefield in Texas, where we've found hundreds of artifacts from the battle. Henderson Yoakum was a friend of, and lawyer for, Sam Houston. Yoakum wrote the first history of Texas. We're pursuing information about both Yoakum and McCrary because we've becoming increasingly convinced of the accuracy of the battlefield map prepared for that 1856 book. One obscure but important report says that Yoakum and Houston went to the battlefield and, assisted by surveyor McCrary, staked out and mapped the locations of important aspects of the battle. I'd be delighted and very grateful if you could direct me to further information about John McCrary or Henderson Yoakum. Sincerely, Roger G.

http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/YY/fyo4.html YOAKUM, HENDERSON KING (1810-1856). Henderson King Yoakum, historian, son of George and Mary Ann (Maddy) Yoakum, was born in Claiborne County, Tennessee, on September 6, 1810. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1832. On February 13, 1833, he married Evaline Cannon of Roane County, Tennessee; they became the parents of nine children. In the spring of 1833 Yoakum resigned his lieutenant's commission in the army and began to practice law in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He became captain of a company of mounted militia in 1836 and served near the Sabine River under Edmund P. Gaines.qv In 1837 Yoakum was mayor of Murfreesboro. In 1838 he reentered the army as a colonel in the Tennessee infantry and served in the Cherokee War. He was a member of the Tennessee Senate from 1839 to 1845 and as senator urged the annexationqv of Texas. On October 6, 1845, Yoakum established residence at Huntsville, Texas, and on December 2, 1845, was admitted to the Texas bar. In 1846 he was instrumental in making Huntsville the county seat of Walker County. At the outbreak of the Mexican Warqv he volunteered as a private under John C. (Jack) Haysqv and served at Monterrey as a lieutenant under James Gillaspie.qv With the expiration of his enlistment on October 2, 1846, he returned to his law practice at Huntsville, where Sam Houstonqv was his close friend and client. Although a member of the Methodist Church, Yoakum, in 1849, wrote the charter for Austin Collegeqv and served as a trustee for that school from 1849 to 1856. He helped establish the Andrew Female Collegeqv in Huntsville and in 1849 was appointed director of the state penitentiary there. In 1853 he became "master mason" and then "high priest" of the Huntsville Lodge. In July of that year he moved to his country home, Shepherd's Valley, seven miles from Huntsville, where in 1855 he completed his two-volume History of Texas from Its First Settlement in 1685 to Its Annexation to the United States in 1846, for which Houston was said to have given him much of the information. In the fall of 1856 Yoakum went to Houston to deliver a Masonic address, attend to some courtroom duties, and visit his friend, Judge Peter W. Gray.qv While attending court he suffered a severe tubercular attack and was treated after being taken to Judge Gray's home, but weakened and died there on November 30, 1856. Yoakum County, established in 1876, was named in honor of Henderson King Yoakum. In 1936 the Texas Centennial Commission erected a marker at the site of the Yoakum home in Shepherd's Valley.

I am very interested in locating information on both Henderson Yoakum and a John McCrary or Mcreary. McCrary was born in 1828 and living in Huntsville, Walker County, Texas, by about 1854. John McCrary was the Huntsville, Texas, law partner of Claiborne County, TN, native Henderson King Yoakum (Birth: 6 Sep 1810 in Powell Valley, Claiborne County). Mr. McCrary was also described as a competent surveyor, and we are especially interested in this aspect of his career. My firm is doing the first "battlefield archeology" at the San Jacinto Battlefield in Texas, where we've found hundreds of artifacts from the battle. Henderson Yoakum was a friend of, and lawyer for, Sam Houston. Yoakum wrote the first history of Texas. We're pursuing information about both Yoakum and McCrary because we've becoming increasingly convinced of the accuracy of the battlefield map prepared for that 1856 book. One obscure but important report says that Yoakum and Houston went to the battlefield and, assisted by surveyor McCrary, staked out and mapped the locations of important aspects of the battle. I'd be delighted and very grateful if you could direct me to further information about John McCrary or Henderson Yoakum. Sincerely, Roger G.

Regarding the thread going about Benjamin CLOUD who married Susannah BONDURANT, I guess all are aware Susannah BONDURANT-Cloud was still alive in 1860. She appears in 1850 with her children in Claiborne Co TN, apparently widowed. Following is census for her in 1860 living with her son, Benjamin Franklin and his wife Columbia. Somewhere in this hodgepodge, I have their marriage record in Webster Co MO and believe Columbia's maiden name was BOULDIN although I cannot find it at the moment. 1860 Webster Co MO, Ozark Township #481 CLOUD, B. F. 30 physician 2500/2832 TN CLOUD, Columbia 21 NC CLOUD, Joannah E. 9/12 MO CLOUD, Susannah 71 TN CLOUD, Leander 37 TN CLOUD, Leander P. 15 AL CLOUD, Dallas 12 AL McCLARRY, Eliza 19 TN McCARRY, Orlena 1 TN McCARRY, Elizabeth 15 TN MULLENS, Henderson 21 farm laborer TN Note: The 12- & 15-year-old CLOUD boys were maybe grandsons? They were living in 1850 with their mother in Marshall Co AL. It is my belief Benjamin CLOUD who married Susannah BONDURANT was a brother of Joseph CLOUD who married Jane CARPENTER. Benjamin came into open court in Claiborne Co TN 22 Jun 1824 and made oath he was a subscribing witness who saw Joseph CLOUD sign, seal, and declare it to be his last will and testament.

Hi, all! I know a few folks on here are doing lines of Moores & Smiths. I have some new names I just came up with and was wondering if anyone had anything on these names. I can not give you dates, but most, if not all, were in Claiborne County , TN. Moores: Josephine , Willie (may have been a cousin to Josephine), John Eph Smith: Cindy/Lou Cindy , Huldie/Hulda , Vina, Tivis, Sewell (they all connect somehow to John Eph Moore and possibly to Harrison or Harriett Smith) Capps: Pearlie (I believe this was her married name and she was a Smith to begin with). I do know one area that was mentioned was Greasy Holler in Claiborne County. Thanks! Sandy
