Warren (1796, Orange Co, NC, died 1884 in Giles Co, TN) and Rachel Hunt (1797, NC, died 1885, Giles Co, TN) John & Rachel's third child was James Allison Warren (b. 1822, NC, d. 1894, Giles Co., TN) married (1) Sarah H.

Martha Jan(b. 1842, Giles Co, TN, d. 1918, Giles Co, TN). She married Francis Marion Shelton on May 18, 1859. F.M. (b. 1837, Giles Co, TN, d. 1905, Giles Co, TN.)

William L. Whitaker, (b. 1874, Lauderdale Co, AL, d. 1963, Lawrence Co.

Diane, It appears that Ginny, all the way in Las Vegas, is an earlier riser than I this morning. I will try to answer some of your questions on the Warren line which she did not cover and offer an exception or two along the way. Early in my research I too wondered if Crawford White in the 1850 LCT census was a misspelling of my Carr Bailey White, however I came to realize that he was a different White. Why C.B. and wife Martha are not listed in the !850 census I do not know. He was a Justice of Peace from about 1854 to 1859 when he moved to north Limestone County Ala. He performed about a dozen marriages as listed in the marriage book for LCT. I have not yet found any proof as to the father of William R Warren. Some say his father was John, others Henry and again Willis. The John who was killed about 1820 does not appear to have children other than those by Courtney Lewis "with whom" as he said in his 12 June 1820 willl, "I have lived for several years." He adds: "Seven children--three boys and four girls which I believe are mine begotten on her body." These were minors and were placed by the court under the guardianship of Henry Warren and Willis Warren. I find no evidence that William R Warren was the son of John Warren and Nancy Ann Bradford, who had a son William B. This son was born in 1813 in Bedford County Tenn. and his family is given by various ones totally different from that of my William R Warren. Henry Warren had a son William born 9 May 1802 but reports of this family do not allow for him to be my William R. Willis Warren died about 1829. Henry Warren made an inventory of his personal property which was recorded 14 Sept. 1829. In this report he wrote concerning his horses: "one of them a grey horse claimed by Wm Warren a son of the dec." This is evidence that Willis had a son named William. This son could have been my William R. The name Willis continued to be used by the descendants of William R. My ggrandparents, Carr Bailey White and Martha Warren, named their third child Willis Warren White. Until I see proof to the contrary, I am proceeding on the hypothesis that the father of William R Warren was Willis Warren. It has been listed that Sarah, the wife of William R Warren, was a Polk. However, I have not been able to discover any evidence at all to support this assumption. William R and Sarah had a daughter Sarah who married William Polk 28 Dec.1843. The 1850 LCT census lists this William Polk and wife Sarah living with Sarah Warren widow of William R. It may be that some one mixed up the two Sarahs and put Sarah wife of William R as a Polk instead of her daughter. I just do not know the maiden name of Sarah Warren. Now as to the marriage of William Warren to Sarah Wilkerson 6 Feb. 1838 you may be correct in thinking that this is the son of William R and Sarah. However, there are three other William Warrens who married in 41,42,43. One who married Elizabeth Burns was the son of Daniel Warren. My grandmother, whom I remember well as she made her home with us until her death in 1946, was the youngest child of Carr Bailey White and Martha Warren. Her mother died when she was very young. Her father married again 16 Oct. 1859. Mammy, as we called my grandmotlher, first married Columbus Lafayette Thomas and second Robert Campbell Abernathy. I trust that this will add light to the issue, not heat. Jim Thomas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Casey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]>TNLINCOL Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 10:01 PM Subject: Re: Warren Family > Jim- > I read your post about the Warren's and I know there are a lot of Warren > researchers reading this post, please help out if you can. > > I was wondering if the missing Martha Warren-White on the 1850 census > might be Martha wife of Crawford B.

Hi Diane and others interested. It has long been my belief that my White/Wilkerson/Warren families from Lincoln Co TN and Giles Co TN are of the lines but I have not been able to connect them to fit everyone's mindset. It seems rare to me that these three families all originated from NC to Lincoln Co TN first and then spread to Giles Co abt the time of the Civil War. Here is my case. Take pot shots at me, everyone. I can take it. Ginny Keefer My LCT connections; My William White Jr appears on Lincoln Co TN census first time in 1820. He was with his 2nd wife, Elizabeth ____, 20 years younger than he. Wm was 58 years old when their first child together was born, Martha White born 1814 Stokes Co NC- that used to be Rowan Co. Martha married Samuel C. Miles Mar 26, 1840 LCT. There were probably other children located around him from his unknown to me , first wife, Mary ___ who died before 1813, probably in Rowan/Stokes Co NC. Edith Chapman White has to be a child of William White Jr and 1st wife, Mary ___. Edith's daughter, Nancy, lived next door to William White Jr's son, James Franklin. Edith married James Tucker. They named a son, William White Tucker. James Tucker and Edith Chapman White's daughter, Nancy Ballentine Tucker born Sept 15, 1820 LCT married Gabriel M. Pylant. They named a son William White Pylant b Jan 26, 1856 MO. William White Jr and Elizabeth ____'s son, Carr Bailey White ,was born Jan 18, 1818, Stokes Co TN per his Giles Co TN obit.

Dovey Morier Ioway b Dec 18, 1855 LCT, d Mar 16, 1946 Lawrence Co TN, md my other line, Robert Campbell Abernathy, md 2nd Columbus Lafayette Thomas, both in Giles Co TN My cousin, Attorney, Paul R. White, of Nashville TN descends from Carr Bailey White and has done extensive research on his lineage. He is writing a book that I look forward to completion of. He is still practicing so it is slow going. William and Elizabeth White's son, James Franklin White born Aug 10, 1816 Stokes Co NC, died Aug 2, 1852 LCT, married Martha V. Payne, buried at White Cem.

My father, Aubrey Elmo White born Mar 7, 1905 Athens, Limestone Co AL is buried at old Florence Cemetery in Lauderdale Co AL where the other White's not buried at Minor Hill Cem, Giles Co TN are buried since 1850.

"TELLING STORIES" software advertised by Ancestry.com has at least two problems I have found. (1) It is not designed to put in stories that happened before 1900,(and will not let you) and (2) It does not let you just put in a year for an event, if you do not know the month and day. You must put in one of their drop-down month and day dates, even though it is inaccurate. I have contacted the "TELLING STORIES" people and they say they will try to correct these problems in their next version. However, people stuck with this one will have those problems.

I have two marriages for Rogers/Rodger in my database. They are: Mary Rodger who married Samuel Houston Dunnavant. They had 6 children, one of whom was MayDay Dunnavant. MayDay - that's the spelling used on her tombstone - married George Hastings. None of the Dunnavant or Hastings databases I've seen have much information on George and MayDay. Tracking George and MayDay's descendants has not been easy; but, I've managed to find some of them. MayDay and George are buried in the Trinity Cemetery at Wilmer, Dallas Co., TX. They had four children. I've been told that for reasons long forgotten, George and MayDay were estranged from their daughter Lorene Evelyn Hastings. George and MayDay's children scattered. Most of their grandchildren never met their Hastings cousins and know very little about George and MayDay. The second connection to the Rodgers family is through Bill Rodgers who married Grace Virginia Hastings. I have met and interviewed members of this family. One of their descendants married a woman whose family also descended from a Hastings-Dunnavant marriage. Here's Bill's obit. The Pulaski Citizen, May 29, 1990 BILL RODGERS Mr. Bill Rodgers, 80, of Elkton, died Tuesday, May 22, 1990, at Hillside Hospital. Funeral services were held Thursday, May 24, at Carr and Erwin Chapel with William Suddarth officiating. Burial was in Elkton Cemetery. A native of Lincoln Co., Mr. Rodgers was the son of the late William A. and Lillie Phillips Rodgers. He was a retired farmer. Survivors include his wife, Grace H. Rodgers of Elkton; six sons, W.J.
