Hey gang, Just a short reminder to the vets and newbies at this site of my free research for the asking here at Andersonville. Of the 41000 Union soldiers on record from all states, 1618 are from Tennessee. Please email me directly at Frye@pstel.net with request so we dont tie up the county site.

I am trying to find my FOSTER connection. My GGGrandmother, was Susan Francis FOSTER, b. Humboldt, Tn Jan. 1851. I have no idea who her parents were. I think she had a brother Monroe Foster. Susan married Thomas Benton Wallis. They met during the Civil War; he went to their farm house to ask for a drink of water, and she came to the door. Thomas was born in Mayfield, Ky. Apr. 1846. They had 9 children: William, James, Cora, Bula, Thadeous, Pearl, Bertha, Carrie, Fannie. Some of their older children stayed in Tn. and Susan and Thomas moved on to Randolph Co. Ark. They are both buried there. Thanks for any help. Sharon Wallis Klassen My family names I am researching are WALLIS, WALLACE, WALLICE, BLURTON, WILLIAMS, ROSAMON,ROSAMOND,EZELLE, KING, WARMATH, MCMULLEN, TIMBS(many spellings), HOYE, GREGG. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Foster" <kippenberg@peoplepc.com> To: <TNGIBSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 10:12 AM Subject: [Tngibson] Roll call: FOSTER > I am trying to find information on the families of Samuel FOSTER > (1787-1855) and Nancy JAMES (1795-1863).

I am trying to find information on the families of Samuel FOSTER (1787-1855) and Nancy JAMES (1795-1863). They were married about 1811 in Brunswick County, Virginia, and moved first to Rutherford County, Tennessee around 1815. They moved to Gibson County sometime after the census was taken in 1850. Both died in Gibson County. According to Goodspeed's History of Gibson County, Samuel and Nancy had 13 children. (On the 1830 census, they have 11 children.) I have only been able to confirm the two who were still with them in 1850: Richard H (born 1827) and Beverly Ransome (born 1829). These are also the only ones know moved to Gibson County with them. I am most interested in discovering who the other children are in this family. I imagine some would have followed them to Gibson County, besides Richard and Beverly, and others would have remained in Rutherford. Richard H FOSTER married Mary Elizabeth REVEL in 1850 in Rutherford County, before moving to Gibson County. Together they had the following children: Mollie, Ida, Mathew, Atkins, Robert, Benjamin, and Percy. (Goodspeed's says they had 9 children.) I do not know when either Richard or Mary died, or have any more information on any of the children. Beverly Ransome FOSTER (1829-1894) married Eliza HOLT (1838-1882) in 1857 in Gibson County. Together they had the following children: William, Nancy, John, Mollie, Mattie, Luther, Dora, Jane, Florence, Maude, and Walton. Nancy married Joseph CUNNINGHAM in 1880 and Florence married George CUNNINGHAM in 1892. These are the only two children I have any information about. In 1883, Beverly married Emma PARISH. Together they had James R, S E, Rubie, and Beulah. Again I have no information on these children. I have found interesting entries in both the 1870 and 1880 censuses. As neighbors (only a couple households away) to Beverly FOSTER. In 1870, I found Matilda FOSTER, aged 40, with the following children: Henry (20), Martha (16), Nancy (15), Elizabeth (13), Frank (8), and Annie (4). Next to her was John FOSTER (22) and wife Ann (23). In 1880, some of these Fosters remain next to Beverly. One household has Martha, now 25, with sister Annie (17) and brother Frank (15). The next household has John (35) with Annie (35) and adopted son Robert (6). Does anyone know anything about these people?
I'm currently attempting to find descendants of Emerson Sanford and Narcissa Nunnery Funderburk Sanford. They were married in Pemiscot County, MO in the 1880's. Narcissa was the widow of Robert Funderburk and Emerson was the son of Jennette (unknown) Samford / Sanford. By 1900 they had moved to Gibson County and were living with their two children Emma (b. abt 1885) and Enoch (3/13/1893 - 12/5/1908) in Milan. Narcissa's daughter, Neacy Funderburk, had married Joseph E. 'Jody' Butler by this time. In the 1910 census, Narcissa and Emerson Sanford are separated or divorced and she is living with Emma and son-in-law Christopher Columbus Wadley. In 1920, Narcissa and Emerson Sanford are living together again, still in Milan, and Emma and Christopher Columbus Wadley (b. abt 1874) live nearby and have children: Erin, Millard, Mattie, Eugene and Mary. Narcissa died in 1922. I have been unable to locate any of the Wadleys after the 1920 census.
My line from Gibson County, et al. western Tennessee. Would love to hear from anyone in Gibson County, etc. about the BRYANTS and EDWARDS. Most of my known relatives came to northwest Alabama in 1890's but Dad, who was born in 1903 said he still had cousins up in Milan, Tennessee. Great grandfather was WILLIAM BISHOP BRYANT, grandmother was MARY STELLA BRYANT HARRIS. Patrick

OK, Ironically, after surviving a direct hit April 2, 2006, from the Rutherford F-3 tornado, i am still searching for information regarding the Rice famiy burried at Mt. Olive CP (which also took a bad hit) The newspaper artice regarding the 1932 tornado is below. It references and older son and his wife whom were not so badly hurt, and another daughter still in the hospital with hope for her recovery. My great grandmother is buried near the family. Nonie Rice (Owens) 1879 - 1942, was a sister to Percy Rice. They were supposed to have been from around the Waverly area, as were a Bunch of Rice's! This is my only great grand parent without any identified parents. I really dont have the time for any research right now, but this is my one Roll Call that i will check my bait. Any leads are appreciated. I had someone from Sumner Co., TN call me saying they had found one of My cancled checks. Maybe I will get a nibble this time on the Rice family. RICE, Percy W. - 1884 - 1932 Effie D. - 1892 - 1932 Opal - 1914 Hazel - 1918 Edith - 1922 Horace - 1924 J. R. - 1928 Edward 1929 ** January 14, 1932 Cyclone Takes Ten Of Family Ten Lives Out of One Family Snuffed Out With Only a Few Moments Warning. Home, Barns and Livestock Destroyed Effects and Debris of Family and Home Scattered for Many Miles By Death-dealing Tornado. A family formerly of near Rutherford but whom have been living about eight miles west of Trenton the past two years on the farm of Mrs. J. Wilbur Dickson of this city, were almost entirely wiped out by a cyclone at about 5:30 p. m. last Thursday. There were thirteen in the family including a son and daughter-in-law living with them and a small granddaughter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul McDaniel of near this city temporarily with them. The family was composed of P. W. and Mrs. Rice; daughters, Opal, 17; Hazel, 14; Edith, 9; son Horace, 10, a six-months old child and others. At the hour mentioned a cyclone approached and struck the home with such force that it was completely ripped to pieces and scattered over a wide are of territory also scattered the dead, dieing and wounded bodies of the entire family over a considerable territory. Some near neighbors could tell that something had happened and rushed to the scene and began taking up the dead and wounded having to hunt around for some time to find them all. Mrs. Rice and some of the children were found dead. Mr. Rice suffered a broken back and died at or on the way to the nearest hospital and others died in a short time except the older son and his wife whom were not so badly hurt. The storm cut off immediate communication but later information of the disaster with its terrible results Trenton and other communities and soon there were a number of physicians, nurses and ambulances and several hundred people on the scene to render all the assistance possible. The barn on the place was torn to pieces and several fine white-face cattle were killed and others more or less crippled up and one mule was killed. The barn of a neighbor was blown down and his home slightly damaged. It is said the owner of the home, a Mr. Norvel, saw the funnell shaped could coming and carried his family out into a field and out of the path of the twister. NEIGHBOR TELLS WHAT HE SAW F. H. Crenshaw, a farmer, told of seeing the Rice home picked up and jerked to pieces by the rap-idly moving funnel-shaped black cloud. "While standing in my yard, I heard a roaring in the southwest and saw a black cloud, dipping down in the shape of a funnel, possibly a couple of miles away. "It traveled very rapidly and its noise almost deafened me as it came near my place and then struck directly at the Rice home. "When it hit, the air was filled with flying particles. I grabbed a lantern and raced my car to the place to find several other neighbors arriving. "The house was torn all to pieces and scattered over a wide area. We found Mrs. Rices body near the house. A little distance away, I found one of the little girls, badly injured. Other members of the family were found scattered over a radius of 100 yards or so, some of them dead and others badly hurt." BURIAL AT MT. OLIVE SATURDAY Burial of nine of the family and the little granddaughter took place at Mt. Olive cemetery five miles southwest of Rutherford on Saturday morning following appropriate services conducted at the church there by Rev. Cox, pastor of the Rutherford Baptist church, and Rev. Grist of Dyer. The ten corpse were brought to Mt. Olive by two County Trucks but remained on the trucks out-side and not opened during the services. Probably the largest concourse of people that ever witnessed a burial service in Gibson County was present at this sad rites to the unfortunate ones. Only two graves were dug, one wide enough for the nine caskets of the Rice family to be placed side by side, and one for the little granddaughter by the side of an infant sister preceding her. Another daughter is still in the hospital and there is hope for her recovery. The wife of the older son who lived with the family is still in the hospital with hope for her recovery. RUTHERFORD IN LINE Rutherford did not experience any wind as a result of the tornado nor even hear it and it was about two hours before information of the bad catastrophe reached here, but evidently the wind passed over our town at an altitude too high to be heard. At the home of D. W. Flowers here Mrs. Flowers was frightened at some-thing striking the side of the house. This proved to be a piece of plank something like two feet long and a few inches wide. At other places in or near town pieces of shingles and other debris is said to have been found. Near Walnut Grove northeast of town a check in an envelope bearing the signature of Mr. Rice which had been paid was found. A strawberry ticket bearing the names of Rice & Dickson was found near Northern school house northwest of Rutherford. George Mitchell reports finding parts and almost whole cypress boards scattered about, all over the big farm he lives on just south of town. STORM FREAKS The tornado virtually dried up a pond covering half acre of land. Jars of fruit, vegetables and meats were carried to a field some hundred yards away and left intact. Thorns from trees were stuck inches deep in other trees. A chair round was driven two inches deep into a tree. Nine buildings were torn to pieces, but a nearby residence, said to be 100 years old, was left intact while surrounding buildings were blown away.
And this would include all the lines off of those, such as Norvell, Crenshaw, Dunagan, DeMent, Bradford and a bunch over toward Idlewild. Still haven't been able to firmly expand on the siblings of Robert Daniel Kinton, or go before his father Chapman Kinton (which ties into North Carolina.) I do have a bunch of speculation and supposition, however. Richard E.

According to the documents I've discovered, the Yeargin I'm referring to is Mary Elizabeth Pittman Yeargin/Yeargan (+other spellings) who was the 2nd wife of Enoch Smith. Her first husband was Benjamin Yeargin who apparently died before Dec 1871 when Enoch and Mary E. were married. Thanks for the "checkup". We all need that!
