I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 1200 prisoners on record from the state of Tennessee and almost 800 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. As Tennessee was one of the states that was torn apart and was truly brother against brother,,I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

I am attempting to find info on the Tolliver and Brewer families of Coffee and Warren Counties. Are these Brewers descended from Russell Brewer and his wife Nancy Tolliver? Are the Tollivers descended from one or more of Nancy Tolliver's brothers who were in Warren County, TN by 1806???? If so, they're distantly related to me. I am descended from Capt. George Howell of Grayson County, Virginia through his son John Howell and Nancy (Brewer) Howell of White county, TN. George Howell's sister, Tabitha Howell born c. 1760, was the wife of John Toliver of Ashe/Wilkes County, N.C., and they were the parents of Nancy Tolliver wife of Russell Brewer. I have not been able to determine if Russell Brewer was a son or nephew of Lewis and Agatha Holland Brewer of Grayson County, Virginia, from whom I descend through Nancy Brewer, wife of John Howell. There must be a connection between these Grayson County, VA Brewers to Russell Brewer, who is said to be from Ashe County, N.C. (immediately South of Grayson County, VA). I suspect him to be a near relative of Lewis Brewer of Elk Creek, Grayson County, Virginia (1760-1839). Thanks, Will Smith Hillsboro, Coffee County, TN

Looking for my Kuykendalls/Eubanks/Parkers .  My leads allow me to believe they settled in the West and some parts of middle TN. around 1860 to 1900 in Coffee County and Madison County.    John Charles Kuykendall age 44 was listed with Mary Francis Eubanks age 39.  Children Albert, Luemma, Maude E or C, Lula M. and Joseph H. in Madison County, TN. about 1900.                     I cannot find further  record before 1920 or after. I  did how ever find William Albert Parker with Luemma Jane Kuykendall in Kerrville, TN near Millington, TN.   This came from my fathers birth cert. 1920 and the 1920 census.  His name is Paul C. Parker.    Dad gave the birth place of both his parents William(Bud) Albert Parker and Luemma Jane Kuykendall as TN. but I have not been able to find their births.1  Robert William Parker..  +Mary Lowe Clark ..........2 William Albert Parker 1897................+Luemma Jane Kuykendall 1891-1926......................3 Luther (Bradley)Parker......................3 Robert Parker......................3 William Parker......................3 Annie Ruth Parker 1918-1991......................3 Paul Chester Parker 1920-1983. John Charles Kuykendall b. 1856 was born in Coffee Co., TN.  His father was Norris and mother Sara Charles.  Simon Kuykendall was the father of Norris and the mother Eleanor Metcalf. My real launching point  has to take me through Coffee County, TN.  and Alabama with John Charles Kuykendall  b. 1859 , a brother named Francis Marion Kuykendall may have traveled or lived with John. There are several of us Kuykendall decendants of TN who just recently discovered each other and would love to know the answers.

Hello all, Hoping someone might be researching this same line and possibly fill in some blanks. Berry Hitson(son of Richard and Drucilla Stubblefield) married Phily Harpole: unknown children: 1. Thomas b. appx 1843 m. Harriet? 2. Mary b. appx 1845 3. Langston b. abt 1846 m. Sarah T. Wagner/Waggone 4. Byram b.1849 m. Nancy Ann Brawley 5.George b. abt1851 m. martha c. harpole 6. Martha b. abt 1854 7. margaret b. abt 1858 m. nathan hatchett 8. William b. abt 1859 9. Sarah b. abt 1863 Berry and Phily are in the 1850-70 coffee census, but in the 1880 Berry is listed as being married to a Sarah, Where is Philly, (i have her dying in 1898) possible divorce, or i have big time wrong death date. I descend from Byram and when i received his death certificate,to my surprise he has his mothers maiden name listed as MARTIN, not Harpole, so was Berry married before Phily or was the informant on the death certificate wrong. It was a neighbor of theirs and cant figure out why him, not a family member, as their were ones around them. Dont have Berry on the 1890 census, but in the 1900 hes living in Bedford co.with his Daughter Margarett Hatchett. Asssuming he died shortly after that. Anyone with connections to any of these names, i would love to hear from. Christy Rice

The Coffee Co. Historical Society will be holding its May meeting, on May 21, 2002 at 7:00 P.M. This month's meeting will be held at the former home of the late Ms. Lillian. Ashley.

Hello to the list, I am new here and just thought I would post the families I am researching....hoping to strike upon a Coffee County connection. It was just passed on to me by a kind WEBB family researcher(Bettye Whitlock) that some of my family may have been associated with the Hillsboro, Coffee County area. I am looking for connections to Mary "Magdaline" Cash-WEBB b. 1863 Meigs Co. TN c. 1937 Phoenix, AZ(buried Bluegrove Cemetery, Clay Co. TX) and husband Arthur Towles WEBB who were married in Warren Co. TN in 1885. I have been told that their son John Austin Webb was born in the area of Hillsboro, Coffee Co. and that he later married in Warren Co. ca. 1911. Magdaline was my ggAunt, d/o James Monroe CASH b. 1826 Roane Co. TN and Sarah Emiline Ford(1880, 1900 Warren Co. TN Census). The Cash's/Ford's were from East TN(Roane/Meigs Co.) and were burned out of their farm during the Civil War....came to central TN ca. 1870-78, some going on to North TX and the older ones staying on in Warren Co. until 1900-10. Does anyone connect with any of these family members? I am especially looking for where my ggGrandparents James Monroe Cash and Sarah Emiline Ford are buried.....they disappear from Warren Co. TN after 1900 and believe they may have gone to Coffee or Cannon Co's where they died. Also looking for any info on the families of Stephen FORD b. 1829 Rhea Co. TN and father Edmond FORD b. 1797 NC. They were Sarah's family and were also in Warren Co. 1870's+, coming from East TN, but seem to disappear from Warren. Would love to hear from anyone connecting with these families and hopefully find some connections in Coffee Co. Thank you. Sincerely, Chris Cash

I am looking for Dale Eaton who posted a query on the Coffee County TN gyneology page looking for Issac EATON. I am hoping the info I have will connect with yours. Wanda

I am still searching for Jesse and Nancy Cobb who were in Franklin Co in 1850-60. He died there in 1864 in the area of Cobb Hollow between Turkey Creek and Hurricane Creek. His son George married an Arnold and daughters Elizabeth and Lockie married Andrew Reavis/Revis. Lockie married him after her sister Elizabeth died. I understand there is a family cem. somewhere near where they lived where some of the Cobbs are buried. Rocks mark the graves. Other children of Jesse and Nancy married Walker, Darrow, Cates, Mullins and most of the children lived in either Franklin, Coffee, or Moore counties. Can anyone help? Virginia
