Milly, I am one of your fans and I am Wilma's too. However, you are wrong about one thing. Although records found in the courthouses are public domain, there has been a ruling that births of living persons may not be made available on the internet without the consent of the person. Deaths are considered okay.

Hello list, I have been researching Jacob Samuel Reagan. I trying to determine a birth date for him, I have found two possible dates, 1791-1800 or 1810/11. 1840 Fntress Samuel b. 1791-1800 1850 Overton Samuel b. 1810 1860 Fentress Samuel b. 1811 Were there 2 Samuel Reagans? My Samuel Reagan md Elizabeth Pennicuff My Samuel died aft 1860. Also I have found on FamilySearch a Samuel Reagan b. 1790-1800 died in Fentress Co., TN before 1850. According to source, this Samuel md a Mary Bookout in KY. Is this the Samuel of 1840 Fentress Co b. 1791-1800? Therefore, my Samuel must be the Samuel b. 1810/11? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks! JW Garrett

Hi JW, You are probably right about your line, I have very little information on Joel. But will be glad to help in anyway I can. The Wm. you mentioned is believed to be Wm. "Billy" the age would be about right, but again do not know that for sure. The Charles in Overton was the son of Henry Reagan, not sure where our Charles was. You mentioned Rachel's last name as Gwinn I had never heard that before. Do you think she might be related to Susannah that married Isaac Beaty? Know there were Gwinn in Wilkes Co. think I have a couple of land records. Pat

Has anyone seen a Fentress Co. obit for Fonzie Beaty Story during the past week? Gerri

Pat, Charles Reagan is listed on 1820 Overton Hea of HH pg 260 (020110-02010).

Pulled out my papers on the census, not sure how much information you want. Know you are basically trying to find out about Joel's family. In 1790 Wilkes Co. NC Peter Regens shows 4 sons. According to Wilma R. Pinckley their birth years were Joel b. 1774, Wm. b. 1776, Charles b. 1778 and Peter Jr. b. 1779. Think these years are probably close. By 1800 Joel and Wm. are married and still in Wilkes: Joel has 2 daughters under 10 and Wm. has 1 son under 10 and 1 daughter under 10. Peter and Rebeckah are living with Joel. In 1810 Joel has 2 sons under 10, 1 daughter under 10 and 2 daughters 10-16. Wm. has 1 son under 10 and 1 son 10-16 but no daughters. The daughter from 1800 possibly married young, family rumor says she died in a fire.(you know how rumors are though) 1820 shows Joel in Overton Co. with Peter Sr. & Jr. it shows he has one son to 10 and one son 16 to 18, could this be Samuel and Larkin. Wm. Ragan is in Wilkes Co. NC shows he has one son to 10, 3 sons 10-16, 2 sons 16 -26, and 1 daughter to 10. By 1830 Joel has passed away and believe his wife to be Rachel that is listed. It shows 2 males under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 15-20 (Larkin ?) and 1 male 20-30 (Samuel ?), 1 female 5-10, 1 female 15-20 (daughter ?), 1 female 20-30 ( Samuel's wife?) and 1 female 50-60 (Rachel) this is only food for thought, but do you think it possible that after his father's death he lived with his mother? Because by 1840 seems she has passed away. Peter Srs. son Charles was said to have lived in Overton Co. but I could never find him, in 1830 census he is in Wilkes Co. NC with 1 son to 5, 1 son 10-15, 1 son 20-30 and 2 males 50-60 (wonder if one of these could be Wm. as I couldn't find him) he also has 1 daughter 15-20 and his wife 50-60. Let me know your thoughts.

Pat, In studying the census' of Wilkes, Overton, and Fentress this this is what I have for Joel and Rachels sons: 1810 Wilkes NC Joel has 2 son b. 1800-1810. Possible sons: Joel b. ?, Jacob Samuel 1804, William abt 1808, or Larkin if he is born 1810. 1820 Overton TN Joel has 1 male b 1802-04 (Jacob Samuel). 1 male b. 1810-1820 (Larkin). But where is the other male of 1800-10 of 1810 Wilkes? The oldest he can be is 20 according to census, not yet old enough to be on his own lest he be born 1799, then at age 21 he would be old enough to be on his own. But if Larkin was b. 1810 then the two sons are accounted for in 1810 Wilkes. But what about Joel Reagan and William? Joel is supposed to be the s/o Joel Sr and Wm could possibly be a son since he is living near widow Rachel in 1830 Fentress. Here are Joels possible sons b. bef 1820 1) Joel b. ? 2) Possibly William b. 1801-1810. He is listed 1830 pg 16 with widow Rachel. Therefore, he may be a son. According to his HH he is yet to have children. Therefore, he was probably abt 1808/09. 3) Jacob Samuel b. abt 1804 4) Larkin b. bet 1810 and 1820. Also I note that your Caleb was b. between 1801-1810. I think that your Caleb was b. 1801 instead of 1799. He is listed on pg 4 with Peter Jr b. abt 1799/1780. Therefore, Caleb is more likely the son of Peter Jr. What year did you say Peter married? Now that you mentioned Rachel Reagan 1830 Fenress on pg 16. I question why the census taker didnt list Jacob Samuel as Head of HH instead of Rachel? Here is my thought on the 1830 Fenress HH of Rachel Reagan: 2 males < 5; I believe one of them is Thomas Reagan b. 1827, possible s/o Jacob Samuel. Not sure abt the identity of the other male. 1 male 5-10; possibly Thomas Reagan b. 1822, s/o Rachel. He is not old enough to be on his own. 1 male 15-20; Larkin Reagan s/o Jacob Samuel. 1 male 20-30; Jacob Samuel Reagan b. abt 1804/06 1 female 5-10; one of the unidentified daughters of Jacob Samuel. 1 female 15-20; Rachel had a daughter b. 1810-1820. 1 female 20-30; Elizabeth Pennycuff, w/o Jacob Samuel 1 female 50-60; Rachel Gwinn Reagan, widow. I will continue to study the material and census'. Any commens/feedback or corrections most certainly welcomed.

Does anyone have a photo of Hiram Cyrus Beaty, Sr., 1849-1915, Fentress Co.? I would be glad to pay for copying and postage. Gerri

These death and birth records, which include some settlements of estates, stock marks (ear marks I think are they are called) are all on microfilm from the Tennessee State Library, the number of film is on the death records that Tammy listed. ($20 per roll, 35 mm) These records are not complete, as one could see by the deaths that was in the paper of the day, and if one went into the court records there would be m ore deaths for the time period of 1908-1912, so I would think the birth records aren't complete either, but there is about three times as many births as there are death records, lots of stillborns, lived 3 minutes, 10 minutes, and un-named infants. In the film I have there are no births and no death listed from 1914 to 1924, they didn't keep very good records, or they have been lost or both. Wilma

Pat, I don't have much info on Caleb Reagan. What I note is that since Caleb was b. either 1799 or 1801, in 1820 he would have been bet 19 and 21. Looking at the 1820 census, Peter Reagan has one son 16-26, whereas Joel has a son 16-18. If Caleb was b. 1802, then he would fit the 16-18 son of Joel Reagn. Without knowing when Caleb was actually born, it's hard to say who he belonged to. However, Charles Reagan of 1820 Overton also had a male child 16-26. Has this male child of Charles been accounted for? In response to Wm "Billy" Reagan b. 1811 TN, according to 1820 Overton Co., census, Joel, John, and Peter each have one male child born 1810-1820. Wm "Billy may be the s/o one of these Reagans of 1820 Overton. You are right in that Wm Reagan was still in NC in 1820, so he could not be the father of Wm "Billy" if indeed he is b. 1811 TN. I will continue to study my notes to see what else I can find. Sorry not much help. BTW who is the John Reagan of 1820 Overton age 45+. He is not listed as a son of Peter Sr Reagan. JW Garrett -----Original Message----- From: Ronpat158@aol.com Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 3:37 PM To: TNFENTRE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNFENTRE-L] Caleb Reagan Hi JW, How much information do you have on Caleb? His descendants sent me some, and thought it might be helpful to you. Especially if you feel he might have been Joel's son instead of Peter's. And if your right then Peter also has a son that is not accounted for. Some researcher's think Wm. "Billy" Reagan was Wm's son and not Peter's, not sure I agree as Wm. was still in Wilkes Co. NC in the 1820 census and Billy was born in 1811 census shows he was born in TN which contradicts that our Reagan's came in 1818 just as the Sevier Cert. shows that Peter was in TN in 1813. Could Billy have been Joel's son?
