Cheryl, Can you tell me if this Columbus "Dick" Benton Smith shows any siblings or parents in the records you check to give this information on the TN website? I am researching a Smith line and have hit a brick wall and can't find them beyond one sister who married a BE Hicks in Smithville, TN on 1913-1914. Daisy Smith Hicks was one of 3 girls and l boy (possibly Jessie Hicks) and was born in 1896 in or around Carthage, Smith Co., TN I would appreciate any info that you might have come across on this family. Thank you for your time. Mary In a message dated 7/12/2005 11:15:57 A.M.

Franklin P. Dunham's dad was Louis R. Dunham and Louis father was David L. Dunham who married Elizabeth (most think maiden name was Hatfield) John R. Dunham descends from Richard Dunham a brother to David L. Dunham. So your Beecher is kin to John R. Dunham. Their common ancestor would be Henry Dunham their gr grandfather Henry Dunham which I believe makes them 2nd cousins John R. / Elijah/ Richard/ Henry Beecher/Louis R/ David L./ Henry Now IF(not proven by me) Elizabeth is a Hatfield and is Comfort's sister. They would have the Hatfield/Ross gr grandparents in common also Beecher/ Louis R. / Elizabeth / Annie Ross Hatfield & Husband John R./ Annie Pitman Dunham/ Comfort Hatfield/ Annie Ross Hatfield & Husband Which would make them 2nd cousins on the Dunham side as well as the Hatfield side --Marie

Dose anyone have a copy of the obituary for Mack Herman Trapp who died 24 December 1998 in Watertown? Would like to know where he was buried. Any help in locating his obit will be most appreciated. Bob Trapp Fairfield, California

Marie, Thank you. Per the census, Beecher Dunham's father Franklin, was b. in TN and both of his grandparents. In my notes I have a referrence with a question mark of a possible marriage of Martin Van Buren Lafever, who lived in Ky, to Margret Pitman, no date or place indicated. If in KY, it would have likely been in Russell or Pulaski Co. I can't remember the source of my note. I wondered if those Pitmans in KY were connected to those here, as so many names are. Clyde

There has been so many messages go through I have lost the one I was looking for. But one woman posted she had found information on the family search.org and would e-mail her on her source of information. That is the LDS family marriage records sent in by family members and not all of there information is correct. I no that for a fact because my husband family sent in some wrong information to them. I have _www.ancestry.com_ (http://www.ancestry.com) and _www.genealogy.com_ (http://www.genealogy.com) and have researched the microfilm from the familysearch.org for White, Warren, Dekalb & McMinn county records for the Evans, Lyles, Murhpy & Johnson family members. I have posted some of them on rootsweb listed below. But not all of them because they have a marriage book they sell to make money. Here is some information on Reuben Evans. Also there were 3 Elizabeth Evans in Dekalb county in 1850 census record. There was a Elizabeth Evans in Deklab county June 1850 age 33 years born in North Carolina. There was a Elizabeth Evans age 33 died Dekalb February 1860 of white swelling born in Tennessee. 1850 Morility index for Deklab county has a death for Mary Evans age 65 died in December and was born in Delaware . listed below her is a Henry Evans age 4 died of a fever _http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/dekalb.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/dekalb.htm) _http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/dekalb.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tn/dekalb.htm) Here is some other information I found on Reuben Evans listed below. Darlene Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769?1923: Volume 1 CANNON COUNTY The first County Court met in May, 1836, at the tavern of Henry D. McBroom, with the following named magistrates in attendance: Thomas Powell, Allen Haley, Joseph Simpson, Blake Sedgley, Isaac Finley, Jas. L. Essary, Isaac W. Ellidge, John Pendleton, I. M. Brown, Elijah Stephens, F. L. Turner, C. C. Evans, John Melton, Samuel Lance, Wm. Bates, John Martin, Wm. B. Foster, John Frazer, Martin Phillips, Lemuel Moore, Reuben Evans, Jas. Goodwin, Peter Reynolds, Jas. Batey, Joel Cheatham and Jonathan Fuston. The following named officials qualified at this meeting: Samuel J. Garrison, county court clerk; Geo. Grizzle, sheriff; Alex. F. McFerrin, register; Job Stephens, trustee; Alexander McKnight, coroner; Henry H. Clifton, ranger; Wm. Stone, entrytaker; Hugh Robinson, surveyor. A committee of six consisting of Hugh Robinson, James Clark, Arch Stone, Wm. Bates, John B. Stone, and Jno. Brown, was appointed to lay off town lots. Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769?1923: Volume 1 DEKALB COUNTY On March 5, 1838, the county was organized with the following named magistrates in attendance: Lemuel Moore, chairman; Reuben Evans, Joseph Turney, Thomas Simpson, John Martin, Watson Cantrell, David Fisher, Wm. Scott, Samuel Strong, Henry Burton, Martin Phillips, John Frazier, Joel Cheatham, Jonathan Fuston, Peter Reynolds and James Batey. ------------- Mississippi Marrriage EVANS, REUBEN marr. WHITTINGTON, ELIZABETH 01/06/1824 EVANS, REUBEN marr. WATSON, SALLY 01/12/1832 ---------- CANNON COUNTY, TENNESSEE WARREN, COFFEE, WILSON AND RUTHERFORD FURNISHED THE TERRITORY CANNON COUNTY was cut off out of lands lying East of BEDFORD, and Warren, Coffee, Wilson and Rutherford counties each furnished part of the territory for CANNON,which was established January 21, 1836. Although it joins BEDFORD on the East the Bedford Territory was not disturbed, as it was at that time. DANVILLE was the name of the County seat until the name was changed to WOODBURY. Most of the land belonged to HENRY McBROOM and his brother at the time, and HENRY WILEY had a store there. Later the McBrooms built what was called the DILLON HOTEL, which was burned in 1907. The first meeting of the County court was held in McBroom's Tavern in May, 1836. Present as magistrates were the following persons: Thomas Powell Joseph Simpson Isaac Finley ISAAC W. ELLEDGE I. M. Brown F. L. Turner John Melton William Bates William B. Foster Martin Phillips REUBEN EVANS Peter Reynolds Joel Cheatham Allen Haley Blake Sedgley Jas. L. Essary John Pendleton Elijah Stephens C. C. Evans Samuel Lance John Martin John Frazer LEMUEL MOORE James Goodwin James Batey Jonathan Fuston The following persons were selected to hold the various county offices and qualified at the above meeting: SAMUEL J. GARRISON, County Court Clerk. GEORGE GRIZZIE, Sheriff. ALEKANDER F. McFERRIN, Register. JOB STEPHENS, Trustee. ALEXANDER McKNIGHT, Coroner. HENRY H. CLIFTON, Ranger. (I wonder just what the office of "Ranger" was?) WILLIAM STONE, Entry Taker. HUGH ROBINSON, Surveyor. HUGH ROBINSON, JAMES CLARK, ARCH. STONE, WILLIAM BATES, JOHN B. STONE and JOHN BROWN, were appointed to lay off the town lots for sale. ABOUT SOME OF THE FIRST MAGISTRATES OF CANNON COUNTY The next year after CANNON COUNTY was established the county of DeKALB was established and part of the territory for that county was taken from Cannon. A check of the names of the first magistrates of CANNON in 1836, shows that in 1837 the following persons: Lamuel Moore, Chairman Reuben Evans Martin Phillips John Martin Joel Cheatham Jonathan Fuston John Frazer Peter Reynolds and James Batey were all among the new megistates of members of the county court of DeKalb County. This is probably explained by the fact that these men were living in that part of CANNON that was transferred to DEKALB in 1837 & therefore were, by the establishment ??f the new county transferred into it by the Act that oreated DeKalb. Check of many other early Tennessee Counties show up similar peouliarities. But these do not mean that Mr.LEMUEL MOORE and REUBEN EVANS, for instances, were vassilating around over the country making it their business to serve as "Justice" of every new county that came into existence; nor does it mean that there were two or three men of the same name. They were the same men,-it was just the constant change of county lines that were taking place in old Tennessee, as it began to fill up towards the West. ISAAC W. ELLEDGE, whose name appears as a member of the first County Court of Cannon County was that same ISAAC ELLEDGE, who married JANE MORROW in Knox County, on September 15, 1837 as shown by the records of that county. He eveidently had lived in Knox Co??ty, and went back there to marry her. Among other early settlers in Cannon William Mears, John Wood, HENRY FORD, GEORGE ST. JOHN, JOSHUA BARTON, ?? CUMMINGS, JAMES TODD, BENJAMIN HA??E, JAMES AVENT and LOUIS JETTON from ?? ------------- DEKALB COUNTY, TENNESSEE FIVE DIFFERENT COUNTIES FURNISHED TERRITORY FOR DeKALB COUNTY Five different counties in Middle Tennessee were called upon in 1837 to furnish the territory out of which DeKALB COUNTY was created. These counties were WARREN, WHITE. CANNON, WILSON and JACKSON. It was provided in the Act establishing the county that the first court should be held at the home of BERNARD RICHARDSON. This Bernard Richardson lived near the site of the present SMITHVILLE, which became the county seat and still remains so. Smithville was named for a certain JOHN SMITH BRYAN. Of course there was a committee to s??clect the location of the county seat, as usual in such ?? and the following comprised said committee: Thomas Durh?? Joseph Banks Thomas Allen Watson Cantrell Joseph Clark. BERNARD RICHARDSON gave fifty ??ors. of land to the county on which to build the town, and they laid out the land in lots and had a public sale of same. On March 5, 1838 there was a regular meeting for the purpose of organising the county. The following were those who were the first members of the court: Lem??el Moore, Chairman. Reuben Evans Joseph Turney Thomas Simpson John Martin Watson Cantrell David Fiaher William Scott Samuel Strong Henry Burton Martin Phillips John Frazier Joel Cheatham Jonathan Fuston Peter Reynolds James Batey A. J. MARCHBANKS was the first circuit Judge and BROMFIELD L. RIDLEY was the first chancellor. ADAM DALE, FROM MARYLAND, EARLY SETTLER ON SMITH'S FORK. Probably the first actual settler in the territory now comprising DeKALB County, was an old timer from Maryland by the name of ADAM DALE. Long before DeKALB County was carved out of parts of the surrounding counties ADAM DALE settled on Smith's Fork Creek, near the present town of LIBERTY. He probably paid his taxes in WILSON COUNTY. Other early settlers in the same territory (now in DeKalb County) have been listed as follows: Thomas Whaley Henry Burton* William Dale James Bratton George Given Pruitt Family Abraham Overall Reuben Evans Benjamin Blades Benjamin Garrison Martin Phillips Giles Driver David Taylor Zachariah Lefever Bernard Richardson William Floyd Jonathan Doss ??. Turner Edmund Turner Thomas Simpson Josiah Duncan Thomas West John Dale William Bratton Walker family Jacob Overall Robin Forester Matthew Sellers Nicholas Smith Jesse Allen Britton Johnson Levi Bozarth P. G. Magness John Wooldridge William Adcock John Vantreese Stewart Doss James Goodner William ??rindstaff William Wright. BROMFIELD L. RIDLEY who was the first Chancellor to serve DeKALB COUNTY was a descendant of the BROMFIELD RIDLEY of Isle of Wight County, Va. and Granville County, N. C., who married one of the daughters of JUDGE HENDERSON & died in 1796. He was a kinsman of the HERRY BURTON, whose name is also on this list of the first settlers, and of JUDGE MINGE BURTON, of Wilson Co., who was a profound early day lawyer of Middle Tennessee. The appearance of the name of a GILES DRIVER on this list of early settlers again carries us back to ISLE of WI??T COUNTY, Virginia, where the name of GILES DRIVER is a familiar one ?? the ancient records of that county. JOHN BROMFIELD clerk of Isle of Wight Co. Va. (from whom Bromfield Ridley got his name) married OLIVER DRIVER, widow of GILES DRIVER. She had been OLIVE HA??, daughter of JOHN HARDY of I. of Wt.

Hi Clyde Daniel & Comfort's two oldest daughters married Dunham brothers--sons of Richard Dunham. You will find members of the Dunham, Pittmans and Hatfield Families in Marion Co. TN, Jackson Co. AL as well as Dekalb Co. TN. While Comfort gives her place of birth as KY in two census records I haven't found anything that would tell exactly where she was born. Margaret Pitman Dunham is back in Jackson Co. AL in 1850 although she married in Dekalb Co. TN(she and John Sebron Dunham later move on to Union Co. IL where the lived out the remainder of their lives) We are hoping to have one of the male Pitmans in Daniel's line take a DNA test so that we might get further clues on how our line of Pitmans fit on the big tree. I continue to believe that John Pitman who lived in 1850 Bledsoe and who was in Marion Co. TN in 1860 as well as earlier census yrs is Daniel's father. He and Daniel both gave their occupation as shoemaker and list NC as place of birth. Its possible I guess that the Rev Beecher Dunham you mentioned might tie in with the Dunham family who lived around and married into the Pitman family. I haven't seen the connection but I will put that to memory and let you know if I run across any clues. --Marie At 11:33 AM 7/4/2005, you wrote: >Marie, > >Does this genealogy mention Rev.

I looked on the "FamilySearch" Ancestral File for Reuben Evans and found that he had two marriages: Margaret Bratton about 1820 and Clarissa Allen in Nov 1824 (Liberty, Smith, Tn). I need to contact the Submitter on those and see what proof they had. Ruby
