>>I just read the article about "Granyy White" on Nashville History. >>I wondered if anyone is descended from her line, or the children she >>raised??? Here are links to two stories about Granny White. One is from a newspaper account written and published in 1808 from a personal interview with Lucinda "Granny' White. The article is reproduced on the Friends of Metro Archives website - _http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/granny.html_ (http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/granny.html) The other is an essay written by Doris Boyce and published by Mike Slate and Kathy Lauder on their Nashville Historical Newsletter - _http://pages.prodigy.net/nhn.slate/nh00017.html_ (http://pages.prodigy.net/nhn.slate/nh00017.html) This one indicates that Granny White was the widow of an early pioneer Zachariah White, but that is unlikely. Zachariah White was killed at Nashville in 1781 and left heirs in Pennsylvania. The writer may be a descendant of one of the boys reared by Granny White. I'm sure Mike Slate could put you in touch with Doris Boyce. His email is; [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) The two stories have similarities, but give different accounts of who the little boys were and how Lucinda/Lucy White came to raise them. Whether or not the boys were biologically her grandchildren, Lucy raised them as such and they used the surname White. I have seen her will and I believe she left her property to Willis White.

Hello, I would also add that there is a Granny White Pike road in Nashville, was this named after this lady that is being discussed?

Sherry, I see a Rebecca 38 and Walter Gaulding 37 in Davidson Co in 1850 census. They have Andrew 14, Catherine 12, Nancy 10, Francis (M) 8, Samuel 4, and Mary 4/12. Walter b in VA, the rest in TN. Not aparrent in 1860 - I have seen a Rebecca Work married to Adam Dunlap in TN bef 1770 who had a daughter Rebecca b 1786. There likely have been more born to their sons. There was an Ellen Work Dunlap b 1807 d 1823, in my family in TN. I never was sure how the "Work" came into it as I don't find any relation to Adam mentioned above. I'm a descendant of Hugh Dunlap 1769-1846 of Knoxville, Roane and Henry Counties.

Not related, just did some lookups for you. Found some interesting links between the Works and the Gauldings. --------------------------------------------------------------- The book, "Marriages of Davidson Co. TN, 1789-1847", by Edythe Rucker Whitley shows the following marriage: Wallthal Gaulding married Rebecca Word December 3, 1835 (note the spelling of the names) For info about ordering a copy of this marriage record, go to the link I list at the bottom of this email. (There is a Rebecca Work listed in the index of this book but she is shown as marrying Stephen Russell Dec 31, 1826.) --------------------------------------------------------- The 1850 Census of Davidson Co. TN, page 334B, lists the only Gaulding household in the county GAULDING, Walter 39, farmer, born VA wife Rebecca 38, born TN children: Andrew 14, Catherine 12, Nancy 10, Francis (m) 8, Samuel 4, and Mary 4/12, all born TN. BUT on page 342A, their is an interesting household: Griffin, John 30, Laborer, TN WORK, Catherine 50, VA Griffin, Sarah 28, TN GOULDING, John 13, TN GOULDING, Sarah 70, VA (the index lists John and Sarah's name as Goulding but the microfilm looks to me like Gaulding) (Catherine ((Griffin)) Work was the widow of Andrew Work - see 1835 marriage record below. ) ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1840 Census, as shown on ancestry.com, lists the following households, in District 12, on the same page: Work, Andrew males 0010210001 females 0110101 4 households away Galden, Walthal males 11001 females 10001101 (looks like a mother, or mother-in-law is living in household - could be Nancy Work from the 1830 Census below or Sarah Gaulding from the 1850 census above) next door Work, Samuel M. males 1100001 females 011101 14 households away Work, John males 200002 females 0002 QUESTION Would you like for me to send you a copy of the actual microfilm of the pages of the 1840 and 1850 Census? Note - there was another Samuel Work on the 1840 Census but in a different District. ------------------------------------------------------- The Davidson Co. TN Marriage books shows the following Work marriages: Samuel Work married Martha Gower March 31, 1826. Andrew Work married Catherine GRIFFIN Feb 23, 1835. John F. Work married Nancy E. Jones Oct 24, 1834. The only other Gaulding marriage in the Davidson Co. book is: Mary Ann Gaulding married Mukin Pitts Dec 30, 1839. ------------------------------------------------------ The 1830 Census of Davidson Co. TN shows: Work, Nancy males 1001 females 00001001 Work, Samuel males 000001 females 12101 Work Andrew males 0000100001 females 0000100001 ------------------------------------------------------------- The 1812 Militia Lists of Davidson Co. TN list an Andrew Work and an Alexander Work. ------------------------------------------------------------ Found on the web site for the Metro Archives of Nashville and Davidson County, TN Index to Original Wills 1784-1920, Davidson Co TN Work, Martha w:1854 Work, Samuel w:1849 ('w' indicates date written) For information about ordering copies of the above Wills, or marriage records, go to http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/researchpolicy.html -------------------------------------------------------- Hope something helps.

Thanks to those who responded to my request about James B Ferguson in the 1840 census. I appreciate you taking the time to look him up for me. I later found him in Shelby Co in 1850-a hotel keeper. That explains the unusual enumeration. Trying to illiminate him as a possible connection to my Toliver Ferguson, b abt 1800 TN. Thanks, again!!

Ken That's District 2 of Davidson County that includes McWhirtersville, rather than Ward 2. The wards were divisions of the city of Nashville.

In the 1850 Census, Jas. B. Ferguson is listed as a hotel keeper. This is in Memphis, Shelby Co., so he may have moved from Nashville, where he was also a hotel keeper. Good luck, Ann ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
