No Fabian, Leta Buck and Oliver Delk never had any children -- they were only married a very short time.

Thanks for all the info.................. Sorry to be so long in answering but have been recooping from pacemaker surgery. I have Naomi Choate as the 8th child of Austin Bulger Choate (my direct lineage) and Mary Ann (Polly) Barnes. Their children are: John Choate Austin Choate Margaret Ann Choate William Thomas Choate Christopher Columbus (Kit) Choate Edward Russell Choate (my gr-grandfather) Samuel C. Choate Naomi Choate Lewis Franklin Choate Leroy Choate Naomi married Samuel Wright and they had the following children: Matthew, Mary, Margaret, Fatima, James That is all the info I have on them but I had a lady who said she has completely different information. She said she had gone to Fentress Co. and got her info there. I have never been there myself but felt fairly sure I was close. I would appreciate any info you would be willing to share and will do likewise, if I have anything that will be of interest to you. Thanks so much, Bev Casey

Sarah Beale et al, Here some more info about: Mathias Austin "Matthew" Wright by Wilma Reagan Pinckley John Taylor Wright and Elizabeth Ann King, were first cousins. They grew up and married in Fentress County, and all their children were born there. Betsy and Mathias came into the Little Crab area about 1840 as a young couple where they built a log residence on the old Livingston-Jamestown road. Mathias became a big land owner. He operated a sawmill near his home on Crab Creek. At this mill, lumber was sawed and shipped by water routes to Nashville, Tennessee where it was used in the construction of our state capitol building. In the early 1870s, in the days before banks were established in our county, Mathias was Trustee of the county. He would come to Jamestown, ten miles away, on certain days to pay county bills and to receive monies due for taxes, etc. As was necessary, he kept funds at home. Late one afternoon two or three robbers appeared at Mathias' home and demanded the money in his possession. He refused to reveal where the funds were. After searching the home diligently, the robbers found $400 which they kept. Not satisfied with this amount, the robbers insisted on the hiding place of other monies. Mathias continued to refuse the revelation of other funds. In anger and in haste, the robbers hanged Mathias to a cedar tree in his yard. History does not tell us why the robbers became nervous, and mounted their horses and rode away. Hastily, Betsy rushed to the tree with her long-bladed butcher knife and cut Mathias down. He suffered no ill effects from the ordeal. He told his friends that the major portion of the funds were buried near the spring in a coffee pot. The robbers were never identified or caught. On the third Saturday in May, 1876, Mathias and Betsy, with twelve other people, met and organized the United Cedar Grove Baptist Church at Little Crab. Mathias was elected as a Deacon and the church clerk. He served in these positions until ill health forced him to retire only a few months before his death in 1899. Mathias was appointed as the first postmaster at Little Crab, Tenn. on January 18, 1871, and he served there until January 2, 1894, when he was succeeded by L.B. Chism. Mathias also operated a mercantile business near his home until 1888, which he sold to the same L.B. Chism. Mathias and Betsy are buried in the Bailey Bowden Cemetery at Little Crab. The land for this cemetery was given by Mathias years previous to their deaths. Recently, a nice granite marker was placed at their graves by a great grandson, Roscoe H. Wright, of Liberty, Kentucky.

Hey Brenda & Wilma (and others too) Considering this new inforamtion I presume the STEP-CHILD-JUDY BUCK of Coookeville, Tenn. mentioned in the obit of Juanita Norris was the daugter of Leta Buck. Or did she actually marry a Buck? The question then remains to find out if Oliver was the "illegitimate" father of Judy or if she was a child of a previous marriage of Leta Buck.

Fabian, Read the obit I sent you of Jimmy Roger Delk, it list Judy Delk Buck. I do not find a marriage for Oliver Delk in Fentress Co., TN to anyone, however he may have married in Pickett Co., TN or Clinton Co., KY, a lot of people of the area went to Albany, KY to be married. I beleive this Oliver lived with his grandpa Wm. P. Delk in the 1930 census, so he must have married the first time after that At one time Rossville, GA was a marriage macca for people of the area and of course other parts of the country. I think Judy was daughter of Oliver and Lucy Millsaps, probley the youngest child. Lucy died in 1964. Wilma

Wilma/Fabian, From what I have, Oliver Delk was married a very short while to Leta Buck as well (as told to me by her). I believe this is the same Oliver Delk. Leta is the daughter of William Hunter (Bill) Buck and Martha Delawine Hinds. I also have that his son, Jimmy Rogers Delk was married to Glenna Diane Conatser (b. November 29, 1954, d. July 29, 1999, buried at Spring Chapel Cemetery, Fentress County, TN) and that she was the daughter of Edward P. (Edd) Conatser and Margie Wright.

Hi Wilma, does the obit mention a wife for Jimmy Rogers Delk? I ask because I have a Jimmy R. Delk (parents unknown) married to Sheila McDaniel d/o Winford Mashon & Patricia Pill McDaniel.

Fabian. It mentions an ex-wife Diane Delk and a special friend Evelyn Roysdon. I would say that Oliver and Junita are the same people that are listed on the obit. Wilma

Brenda and Fabian I have Oliver Delk married to Lucy Millsaps as s/o Marion Delk and Allie Brooks Delk Leffew, I do not find an obit for Hobert Delk, but I do have one for his brother Jimmy Rogers Delk (Sept 25, 1997) and it lists Hobert Delk as a deceased brother. It also appears that his father Oliver Delk re-married after Lucy died to a Junita ?? and she is listed as a survivor of Jimmy R. Delk. Wilma

Fabian, I believe that Lillie Ray Wright Delk (b. November 05, 1929, d. February 06, 1994, buried at Wright's Chapel Cemetery) was married to James Holbert (Holbert) Delk (b. May 26, 1938, d. May 14, 1989, buried at Wolf River Cemetery, Fentress County, TN). Holbert Delk was the son of Oliver Delk and Lucy Millsaps. I don't know which Oliver Delk this was though.
