To the list, Other than my immediate cousins, has anyone worked on Sanders in Davidson County? Specifically, Sanders tied to North Carolina>Rutherford and Wilson Counties before Davidson, as I feel certain Anna and her father came to this area because other family were coming here. My ancestor, Anna Sanders Baker, (wife of James Baker of Hermitage, Dist. 16), came with her father, Joseph Sanders to Nashville in 1810 on horseback. They had originally planned to go with Armstrong and Benton families to West Tennessee via flatboats on the Cumberland River. The earthquake of 1811-12 changed their plans, and Anna married James. They first lived near the Ezells off Murfreesboro Road, and then onto their own lands on the Stones River (now under Percy Priest Lake) Anna makes reference in a newspaper article to going back to NC to visit relatives. The 1860 Davidson County census says she was born in NC and James in SC. I have no certain evidence of who her father was other than that one article where she was interviewed, and certainly no mention of who her mother was, although I believe someone may have worked on the Sanders lines in TN or may have some idea of who they were connected to in NC. It has always been funny to me that we do not know the name of Anna's mother. Any family legends or ideas about who she was? Any assistance or comments appreciated. I descend from their daughter, Nancy, who married John Robert Evans. Lorene Cook Lambert

As someone notes, the surname Chambless/Chambliss is spelled a variety of ways and in the 17th century Virginia records it is more likely to be spelled Chamnis and other shorter variations of the name. Someone asked my own lineage. I descend from Henry Chambliss who died in 1795 in Greensville Co., Va. He was married three times and the Family Bible survives. By his last wife Jean Williams, he had a son David Chambless (b. 1762) who died in Halifax Co., N.C. about 1794. He had predeceased his father because his father made a bequest in his will to David's infant daughter Patsy P Chambless. David Chambliss's widow Catherine came to Tennessee in 1797 with the Harris/Hargrove clan and remarried in 1799 in Davidson Co., Tn to James Lovell. Another sibling of David Chambliss, named Mark Chambliss, born in 1771, who married Judith Johnson in 1800 in Greensville Co., Va., eventually came to Tennessee settling in Montgomery Co, I believe, where he died in 1841. I would assume some of the Chambliss persons in Tennessee must be his descendants, but I have not traced his descendants. Since my David Chambliss had only one child, a daughter, he would have no descendants named Chambliss--obviously. The Henry Chambliss who died in 1795 was born in 1734 in Prince George Co., Va. I have no doubt he was the son of Henry and Frances Chambliss. Frances is often shown with the surname Wynn, but I do not think there is any evidence for that surname. And I believe this elder Henry Chambliss was the son of another Henry Chambliss (wife Mary Moor). Unfortunately, many garbled Chambliss genealogies have been in circulation for many years and dominate the internet genealogy about the family. The shortage of records in Prince George and Charles City County, Virginia make it difficult to sort out the family prior to 1700, but the surname Chamnus/Chamus/Chamlis seems to go back to the 1670's.

Is CHAMNESS ever a variation of CHAMBLESS?

Virginia, thanks so much for finding this information. It fills in several blanks for me. I've high lighted this name, Georgia Anna Jackson, in your message and wonder if you can get anything else on her. I'm trying to find out the parents of my g-grandfather, Cap'n Edmund Jackson. I truly appreciate your effort. Just now getting back to checking out e-mail after the holidays and hope everyone had a nice break...........Diane >>> [email protected] 12/8/2006 4:37 PM >>> More info for Diane Evans is listed below: Diane Evans <[email protected]> wrote: I'm interested in Edmund Jackson (my great grandfather) who was buried in a Manleyville cemetary near Nashville.

Dear Gary: I noticed your posting on TNDavidson regarding the Harris family. I actually have no information; however, thought you might have information that might help me since your folks were in Tennessee. I am trying to place Rebecca J. Harris who married Andrew E. Moore on 25 Dec 1872 in Dyer County, TN. Andrews family had lived in Nashville before moving to Dyer Co. in about 1860. I cannot figure out who her family was as there don't seem to be any others around the area. She and Andrew Moore had about 5 children and the descendants don't know who she was either as she died early and he remarried and had other children. It is possible she had married someone before Andrew and took on the Harris name at that time. This is just grasping at straws and thought you might have an extensive file on the Harris family.

Is anyone on this list working on the above families. John Hargrove died in Davidson Co in 1798 leaving a large family. He had only arrived in Davidson Co about one year earlier bringing his children (many unmarried) and his second wife, Silvia Chambless Harris, and numerous children by her first husband, Elias Harris, who had died in 1788 in Halifax Co., NC. Other Halifax Co families made the migration including some of the Lovell family. James Lovell married a widow, Catherine Chambless, in 1799 though the Davidson Co marriage record mistakenly transcribes her surname as Chambers. Catherine was the widow of David Chambless, nephew of Silvia Chambless Harris Hargrove. "Catty Chambless" was a buyer at Col. John Hargrove's estate sale in 1799 before marrying James Lovell later in the year. Catherine had only one child by David Chambless, a daughter named Martha Parsons Chambless, usually called "Patsy P", who was born in 1791. Col. John Hargrove was the Administrator of the estate of Catherine's first husband, David Chambless, succeeded by his brother Wm Hargrove, who continued to act as guardian for the Halifax Co NC land Patsy P inherited from her father. After Catherine Chambless remarried, James Lovell was named Guardian to Patsy P in 1801. After Catherine died (circa 1806) James Lovell married his step-daughter, Patsy P Chambless, before 1811 when "James Lovell and his wife Patsy P Lovell" made a deed selling some land. James Lovell had 4 children I have identified by Catherine, and 8 or so children by Patsy P. If anyone on this list has additional County Court or other documentary material related to any of the above I would be most interested. I have all James Lovell's deeds in which he was grantor or grantee. Many of these people spread out into adjoining counties, but James Lovell seemed to remain in Davidson Co and his widow Patsy P Lovell is in the 1850 census following James' death in the 1840's. Any help appreciated. Gary E Young Washington, DC

Peter Lowery is listed on the 1840 census of Davidson County as a free person of color. He is mentioned in the following articles. _http://www.tnstate.edu/library/digital/document.htm_ (http://www.tnstate.edu/library/digital/document.htm) _http://www.tnstate.edu/library/digital/lowery.htm_ (http://www.tnstate.edu/library/digital/lowery.htm)

Peter LOWERY did quite well for himself, didn't he? In both the 1860 & 1870 census, he has real estate valued at $15,000. According to the "inflation calculator" http://www.westegg.com/inflation/, what cost $15,000 in 1860 would cost $308,139.81 in 2005 (using the consumer price index). In the 1870 census, his occupation was "solicitor for colored manual labor school". In the 1880 census, his occupation is "minister".

Hi, Am currently stuck trying to go back before 1880 in my Nashville research - and hope someone on this list has some suggestions. My grandfather, George Shelvy OLIVER was born 07 Jan 1875 in Nashville. His mother was Lou - or Louise WILLIAMS b. May 1856 in Nashville, father John OLIVER no dates known - born TN. The family is African American. There is a John OLIVER in the 1870 census - however he is unmarried at the time so no luck connecting or proving that he is my gr-grandfather. There is no marriage record for Louise & John. There is no John Oliver in Nashville in 1880. No birth records available for 1875 for my grandfather. My grandfather George OLIVER is not in the 1880 census for Davidson County. I know he left Nashville at age 16 and went to KS - I have him in KS agricultural census records and regular census from 1900 though 1930. Louise is not in the 1880 census with a son George - though there is a possibility she may be a woman listed as Lou WILLIAMS with a 1 year old son Ernest. Cannot confirm it. My gr grandmother Louise is married by 1900 to a George EDMONDSON. She is in the census for Nashville with her husband - daughter, and two other sons - Reuben THOMPSON and an Ernest JONES. Reuben I knew of - Ernest Jones I never heard of. Her death certificate names her parents: Frank WILLIAMS and Fannie ONEIL Neither are in Davidson County in 1870, 1880 (or if they are they aren't together) . ONEIL seems to be a fairly rare surname for African Americans in the area during that time period. I don't have, or know of the resourses available for Nashville from 1865 - 1880 like the one's I have for research in Loudoun County VA. Suggestions anyone?
