Rita--my Kelley's are in Montgomery and Franklin Counties--mostly Montgomery. Noah's son Isaac--my direct line--lived in Franklin with the last 3 or 4 of his wifes--randy old coot!!--the first couple were in Montgomery Co. The only Hicks names I have are Hannah and Richard--her father or a male relative that signed her marriage bond to Noah in 1806--that was Wilson Co. TN. Anything match up? Pat

Evening everyone--I have been searching all the TN mailing lists in hopes that I can connect with someone researching my line of KELLEY's. Your group seems to be a hot bed of people with that name and people researching the name. I figured I would join the party and send in a query. Noah KELLEY and Hannah HICKS were married in Wilson Co, TN 8 July 1806 (I have a copy of their bond, a Richard HICKS signed for Hannah--father?) Both Noah and Hannah were born ca 1785, he in DE or NC, she in NC. Noah "conveyed" land to John NALL in 1813 in Dickson Co., TN. Noah and Hannah had six children James, Silas, Elizabeth, Isaac (my direct line), Martha, and Noah. All, according to IL censuses where I begin picking them up in 1840, were born in TN (county unknown) between ca 1809 and ca 1823. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks for your help!

I appreciate the kind words about the warning, but they were the words of my good friend Jan. Remember that everything except primary documents or sources are just tools to be used, some better than others. Even primary documents can be incorrect. I have a great-gr-grandfather, Bart Eaves who I was told, by his grandson, was married to Margaret Stigall in Henry Co, TN. His pension application also gave his wife as Margaret Stegall. When I checked the microfilm of marriage records for Henry Co, I found him listed when he married his first wife, Elizabeth Ramsey and entries later marrying 2nd wife, Margaret Ramsey. How could this be?! I spent countless hours looking for a marriage of Margaret to a Ramsey thinking perhaps she was married twice. Not finding an earlier marriage, I thought this would remain an unconfirmed mistake and went on feeling sure that he married Margaret Stigall 2nd. Several years later, loose marriage records were located in Henry Co and microfilmed. The marriage bond for Bart Eaves and Margaret Stigall are part of these. The clerk filling out the marriage book made a mistake and now I have the proof.

Renea and Buddy, Thanks so much for these warnings. I, like most other people I know, am too trusting in others sometimes, and don't stop to think. I will be a little more cautious from now on.

Is anyone researching a HALL family in this area that would have a Baptist Preacher around 1880 who would have adopted or taken in a boy whose parents had died. The boy's name was Cenus Hardy KENNEDY and possibly his brother, Sam KENNEDY was also raised by Preacher HALL. I suspect Preacher HALL might have been related to Cenus' mother. Would appreciate any information anyone might have. A picture of Cenus and a picture of his mother are located on my homepage under the KENNEDY link. http://www.ecsis.net/~lmoore/ Thanks for your help, Leslie Moore [email protected] Lake Co.

Renea, I appreciate your warning more than most. When I first began this electronic venture into the past, I received a query from a "nice" lady who who claimed to be a distant cousin. I gladly provided her with information my siblings and I had worked for over 30 years to develop and prove. This person has now distorted the information to "prove" what she wanted proven, with absolutely no regard for for fact. She now has my grandmother deceased and buried in California. I attended her funeral in Oklahoma. This person refuses to reply to letters requesting the information be corrected. A disheartening thing. Those who follow me will have the Devil's own time determining the truth. Thanks again for your wise words. Buddy.

Looking For My Kuykendalls lived briefly in Hardeman County Tn. John Kuykendall married Mary Eubanks there in 1880. It appears they migrated through AL/MS/TN to AR. My grand mother Emma Jane Kuykendall Parker b. abt 1891 was in Shelby County, TN. Millington in 1920 and in Memphis in 1926 at the time of her death. She was married to William Parker. John Kuykendall was thought to be from IL but appeared in Hardeman CO. TN in 1880 to marry Mary Eubanks from MS and in Tipton CO. on voters registration 1891. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

Hello Everyone, This is my first post to the list, and it isnt a very good one. The reason being is that I am looking for my Calvin Blankenship without much to go on. I found Calvin BLankenship married to Deliah on the 1850 Texas County, MO census. Living next door to Calvin is WIlliam Blankenship and his wife, Pamela Jane. Since Calvin was only a couple of years older than William, I have to assume they are related, if not brothers, because they were the only Blankenships in TExas County at this time and they were both born in TN and both of their wives in IL (just thought that was interesting). SInce Calvin Died during the civil war (there is no record on him except a muster roll), he wasnt around when the government started asking where their parents were born. I followed Deiliah until 1880. I estimate her time of death between 1881-1883. I followed William, and he lists his parents as also being born in TN ..... although its a shot in the dark, is there anyone out there that has a link to a BLANKENSHIP's that had a son named Calvin, (who was born abt 1820-25) and/or William (b. abt.1823-1826). I do not have Calvin's parents names or their wives maiden names. I am hoping to connect them to someone who might be able to shed some light on this for me .... Thank you in advance!!!! Thank you!
