Does anyone have info on the STOKELY-MOORE line in Davidson and Cocke Co? I am looking for Grace MOORE,and also James O. MOORE, 1930s. Regards, Pat Koger

If anyone has access to "Early Tenn Marriages", I 'm looking for the first marriage of Daniel Young whose first child was apparently born about 1833 per ages of children in 1850 Davidson Co census. In 1846, there is the marriage of a Daniel Young and Susannah Drake. I found the grave of a Susann C. Drake, wife of Daniel Young, with her dates on tombstone of 9/6/1814 - 9/10/1845. If date of death is correct, then this can't be the same Susannah who married a Daniel Young in 1846. Also, a Daniel Young married Ellen Hyde in 1848. They are found in the 1850 census with him at age 42 and she at age 20. His eldest son is 17 thus I'm looking for a first marriage of him around the year 1833. He would have been about the age of 25 then.

First of all I want to thank you and all others for your responses to my earlier message. The William Clark in question was born in 1843 in Smith Co. TN. The Wm. Clark in Nashville National Cemetery either died or was buried in May of 1864. If the cemetery was formed in 1866 were others like Wm. buried there early on and might he be a confederate in a National Cemetery?? My Wm. was. Is there any way of finding out if the culvert that runs through the cemetery is a creek? Might this be Trace Creek? I couldn't locate a creek by that name in Sumner County. I did find Station Camp Creek though. I didn't find Madison listed as having a post office back in the 1860's. What is Madison's history. I am trying to visualize what the area looked like back in the 1860's. Thanks again for your response.

Jim There is an excellent history of Madison, TN called MADISON STATION by Guy Alan Bockmon, 1997, Hillsboro Press. The Madison Post Office was chartered May 21, 1857. I will quote very briefly concerning the Nashville National Cemetery from page 69. "On 3 July 1866 a sizeable portion of the Craighead lands was transferred to the United States." The book tells that the bodies buried in the cemetery were moved there from a total of 251 "distinct burial places." "The site of the Nashville National Cemetery was chosen...along the rails of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in order...that no one could come to Nashville from the north and not be reminded of the sacrifices that had been made for the preservation the Union. [The Cemetery]...is situated on the Gallatin pike [sic], six miles from Nashville, Tennessee". The burials in the cemetery took place after the Federal Government acquired the land in 1866. I still believe it highly unlikely that a Confederate soldier would have been buried in a Federal Cemetery. A number of Confederate dead were buried in Mt. Olivet Cemtery in Nashville as well as in many other locations. A call to the cemetery might give you additional information. The phone number is: (615) 736-2839. Debie

The location of Nashville Cemetery is in Madison on the Old Gallatin Road. Is Madison in Davidson Co or Sumner Co.? Does anyone have or know where I could get a history of the cemetery? I have an ancestor who died during the Civil War at Little Camp on Trace Creek outside of Gallatin on Gallatin Road. His grave was marked. Family history said that he died of pneumonia a few days after an an attack by Morgan's Raiders on Gallatin. He was with the 2nd TN Cavalry and from Smith Co., TN I thought that they were one and the same but I am incorrect. Morgan's Raiders were part of the 2nd Ky Cavalry. I can't find his record and that is understandable, but if I could locate Little Camp I might be on the right path. Was Little Camp located on what is now National Cemetery? There were 3 or 4 william Clarks buried there but only one was from TN. Were confederate soldiers provided headstones by the US government? iAny help would be much appreciated.

Gallatin TN is located in Sumner Co., a little over 20 miles from the National Cemetery. According to this web site: List of VA National Cemeteries http://www.cem.va.gov/nmc.htm, the cemetery was established in 1866. If your ancestor is buried in this cemetery maybe you should start searching records of the Union Army for his service. Are you sure that he was a Confederate? I am not a Civil War buff but I would not think a Confederate soldier would be buried in a Union Cemetery. Debie

For the early marriage data, is there a record which shows the parents of the bridge and groom? I recently sent for a marriage record and got a copy of the marriage bond and the marriage license, but I did not see any names other than the bridge, groom, person who signed the bond and minister who performed the ceremony. Thank you for your help. Marge Currin

Beginning in 1816, a marriage record most often has both the bond and license. I am sure a signed record of parental permission was required for marriages of persons below the legal age in this time period. However it is very rare for a record of this type to have survived. Sometimes the bondsman is also a parent of one of the couple but relationship of the bondsman is not given on the marriage bond. Debie

Thought that I would list again my unattached Cotton/Cotten ancestor. I am searching for information regarding the family of Caleb Joshua Cotton/Cotten born in the area of old Rowan Co. North Carolina about 1782. From family tradition his father has been named as James Cotton/Cotten. There is a census record for a James Cotton in Surry Co. NC 1800. Caleb Cotton has a marriage bond in Surry Co. NC, 16 Nov 1801 to Nancy Meredith, witness was William Meredith, bondsman was Thomas C. Burch. Caleb later moved to the area of Rutherford Co. Tennessee near Nashville. He is listed in the census records of 1810. He is also listed in records of both Rutherford Co. and Davidson Co. TN. He served in the war of 1812. Sometime around 1820, he moved to the area of Southern IL. areas of Pope and Johnson Co. where he is also listed in records and census. Caleb's father may have been associated in the Cumberland area of North Carolina/Tennessee, as the names listed with Caleb in the records of Tennessee were prevalent in this Cumberland area. There has been some family theory that Caleb's father or grandfather may have been a Christian Missionary to the Indians??? Caleb's mother may have been Cherokee or part Cherokee. In family tradition she has been given the name of Blue Bird also known as Sarah Crouch/Gooch/Goochee?? Children of Caleb & Nancy (Meredith) Cotton/Cotten were Sarah, Malinda, Mahala, James, Caleb Carrol, Noah Shelton, Nancy Josephine, Gabriel Lovoen, Elizabeth, Margaret Louisa, Peninah Shropshire. Peninah is my GGgrandmother, she was born 12 Mar 1827 Vienna, Johnson Co. IL and she was of Cherokee descent. Any information regarding any of these Cotton/Cottens would be very much appreciated.

The only talent that I have. So here is the information I wanted you to have. Do you think that it is possible that there was a William whose initials only appeared on censuses? The reason I ask is this. In 1928 my aunt, sixteen at the time, went to "Bailyton, Tennessee" to visit some relatives. At the time of her death, my cousin found a picture of her with the name of this town written on the back. We do not know which relatives she might have been visiting. Looking up Bailyton, Tennessee, on the map, I noticed that there was a small town called Jearoldstown about 8-10 miles north-ish from Bailyton. My Great- grandfather's middle name was "Jerold." I sent a request for a family sketch to the Greene County Library about two years ago. They still have not responded in any way to the letter or my enclosed check. Now, also, in the Davidson County, TN 1850 census there was an "L.W." Edmonson who had a son, Thomas, born about 1839. On the 1860 Davidson County census, there was an "Lalien William" Edmonson, aged 15, who I thought might possibly have been named for an uncle or other relative. Also, my Grandmother's middle name is "Lelon" (spelling uncertain). She named her first granddaughter's middle name as Lelon also. So, it seems to me that these facts add up to something. I just haven't figured it out yet. What I need to know is if there could be a William somewhere near Jearoldstown. Or someone with the initial, at least. Perhaps a family sketch in the Library?? Cemetary records?? Thanks for any help offered. Julia Florida/USA ' --part0_909438922_boundary--
