Hi, I'm new to the list and am searching for any info on Joseph George b. 1829 in NC but was living in Giles or Lincoln Co. before he moved on to Collin Co., TX. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Pat McAlpine

Dellrose is a small community in Southwestern Lincoln County TN. It is located just across the Giles-Lincoln county line, east of present day Elkton, TN and northeast of Ardmore, TN. A good reference point for locating Dellrose on a large road atlas is to find I-65 the runs through the eastern part of Giles Co. and go about 7 miles east of exit #6. Tonia Moore

Hi, Where is Dellrose, Tennessee located? What county is this city located? Thank you in advance, Kathy in Humboldt

Hi I am trying to find anything I can on any Kerbo's who married Nicholas'.....I have found husband's Nicholas' in Rusk Co., Texas and also Kerbo's are there. They were born in Tenn. I'm trying to piece together husband's Nicholas line and am having a time. James L. Curbo married Elizabeth Nicholas in Lincoln Co., Tenn. James' brother was Nathaniel Curbo. Found them in the 1850 Rusk Co., Texas Census. Somehow this Elizabeth Nicholas is related to my husband. Elizabeth was born about 1818 in Tenn. Living in same household in 1850 census shows J.T. Nicholas born about 1824. Husband's g grandfather born 1862 in Tenn. There was a Romy Nicholas who married Newton Curbo. Newton was child of James L. and Elizabeth Nicholas Curbo. Romy Nicholas is somehow related to husband. I would appreciate any response Rhonda

I am researching MORRISON that were living in Giles County sometimes around 1875-1883. Joshua C and John Byrd. If anyone has info on these would appreciate it very much. They would have been living with kinfolks are grandparents during that time. Thanks for any help. Bob Morrison

Hello Folks, I want to veer off the subject for a long minute. I am sending this to my Surname lists because Cher Adams' (who is a Rootweb listowner for several counties in TN) dad, Kenneth Adams, has a brain tumor which was discovered just this week. When someone has a problem in our church we form a prayer chain. I would like to do that here for Cher's dad, Kenneth Adams and for Cher. I want to suggest that each of us, in our own way, say individual prayers and that we also ask others in our genealogical circles to add a prayer for them too. Each of you will know whether other lists will allow such on the list, but with Cheryl being a Rootsweb list owner of several lists, I think that most of the lists would indulge us. We are all in this together, and if we can't add a prayer for those who gave us life to the One who gave all of us life, then, perhaps, we don't know what genealogy is all about. If you feel that such as this deserves "flamming", then please do so to me privately, and not on the list. Thank you for your prayers and indulgence, Jean Hancock I would like to start with this prayer: Dear Lord, Please be with Kenneth Adams as he under-goes this new trial in his life. If it be Thy will, please grant him good health and a positive outcome. Also, we would ask that You be with Cher and hold her in Thy comforting Presence and let her know that we are all with her and Mr. Adams. As always, we remain Thy obediant servants and trust that Thy will be done. If you want to email her privately, sen it to Cher Adams and her address is ace1125@ne.infi.net Please send lots of positive thoughts and prayers to this family...

Would love to hear from anyone researching these names..... R. H. Mewbourn

Is anyone researching any Gordon family in Giles Co., TN from the time of first settlement there until after the War Between the States? My John A. Gordon disappears from Robertson Co., TN following the 1860 census where, at age 23, he was living with his wife, M. J. Williams and one year old son W. L. Gordon. There is no further record of him in Robertson Co., but there was a John A. Gordon, age 33, on the 1870 Giles Co., TN census living with a wife named Mary and one year old son Jeneral. I have a service record of a John A. Gordon who enlisted in Co. E, 1st Reg't, Tennessee Cavalry at Nashville on 17 May 1861. He was captured at Oxford Miss on 5 Dec 1862 and exchanged 1 Apr 1863. He appeared on the muster rolls of E Co, 1st Reg't, 6th Cav. (Wheeler's) Tenn from 1 Sept to 31 Dec 1863 but was reported absent on 1 May 1863 and listed as deserted on 11 July 1863. This unit was made up largely of men from Giles County, but no John Gordon is listed on the roster of men serving in Wheeler's Cavalry unit as posted on the Giles County GenWeb Page. That could be a simple oversight or it could support my hope that the John A. Gordon in Robertson Co. in 1860 is the same man as the John A. Gordon in Giles Co. in 1870. Since this John A. Gordon enlisted at Nashville and not in Giles Co., it would be assumed that he was not from Giles Co. I would like to correspond with anyone researching Gordons in Giles Co., TN or someone familiar with the Confederate cavalry unit known as Wheeler's. Joyce

Rehobeth Church was an early Methodist church in Giles County. My wife's ggggrandfather Coleman Harwell was a preacher there. I believe it still existed and had services in 1986 - does it still exist???

Re my British Regulars site notice- you may have to leave off the "regulars.htm" if it will not go with that added. Ginny Keefer

Hi Giles Countians; I found a listing that may help other researchers of Rev War age men you are researching. It is called British Regulars. If anyone has any ideas of where we could write to obtain service records or enlistee applications of these soldiers, please post for the rest of us. Thanx, Ginny Keefer http:/www.digitalhistory.org/British Regulars.htm

Looking for information on the following White family of Giles County, Tennessee. Parents: B.Franklin White, b. 25 Nov 1818 in NC. Married to Martha Ann Clark on 17 May 1838 in TN. I believe the parents of B. Franklin White were Thomas White and Lucy Traylor who married in Rowan County, NC in 1813. The parents of Martha Ann Clark were Thomas & Elizabeth Robinson Clark. Children of B.Franklin and Martha Ann White: Elizabeth J. White, b. 6 Jun 1839, d. 27 Jun 1839 in Giles Co. Thomas James White, b. 4 Feb 1841 Giles Co., d. 16 Dec 1862, probably in the war William W. White, b. 14 Feb 1843 Giles Co. John Jefferson White, b. 19 Nov 1846 Giles Co., d. 7 Apr 1924, Beaumont, TX. Married to Mary Adelein Derr. Mary F. White, b. 17 Mar 1849 Giles Co., m. 19 Jul 1867 to Columbus Lemon. Buddy White, b. 31 Aug 1851, d. 22 Mar 1852 in Giles Co. Sarah J. White, b. 6 Apr 1853 Giles Co. Martha Orlena White, b. 25 Jan 1857 Giles, d. abt 1929 in Temple, OK, m. 25 Jan 1877 to Charles S. Harwell. Manda Irene White, b. 25 Jan 1857, m. 9 Sept 1877 to Richard Hardison. Allis Leona White, b. 27 May 1863 Giles Co., m. 26 Feb 1885 to George Griffis. Census records indicate this line of White's were in Giles/Lincoln County area as early as 1840, but could have been even earlier. Lived in the eastern part of the county in the community of Bradshaw near the Lincoln County line. Would love to hear from anyone connected to this line. Susan Hensley rhensley@swbell.net

Hi Folks, The Pinpoint Search Engine is working again so I have reinstalled it. Bothe the Pinpoint & Beseen search engines are there. I think Pinpoint works best but you might want to try them both. Dave

Gale, The survey boundaries of the 1836 Giles Co. 13th District are given below: "DIST. NO. 13 Begins at RUFF's Bluff on Richland Creek as described in #5, thence north with the boundary of #5 to the road leading up Dry Creek fork from Maria Meetinghouse [present day Mt. Moriah Church] to Camelsville [Campbellsville], thence north with sd road to James R DICKEY's cotton gin, thence northeast with the Neighbourhood road, leading to the intersection of the CUNNINGHAM fork road with the Big Creek road [present day Big Dry Creek Road] leading from Pulaski to Campbellsville, thence north with Cunningham's fork road to its intersection with the road from Campbellsville to Shelbyville [present day Mack Branch Road and Lynn Creek Road], thence east with the Shelbyville road to Big Creek, thence up sd creek to the point of a ridge dividing the waters of BROWNLOW's Branch from Big Creek and GRIGSBY's branch, thence up sd ridge including all the waters of Brownlow's Branch to the top of ridge dividing the waters of Big Creek from those of LYNN Creek, thence southeast with sd ridge to the first ridge that leads down to Lynn Creek north of Wm McCRARY's, thence down Lynn Creek to its mouth, thence up ROBERSON's fork to the upper road leading from Pulaski to Columbia, thence south with sd road to Richland Creek, thence down sd creek to the beginning; elections to be held at Saml.

In general, this area is considered the Northwest quadrant of Giles Co. (that is with the county being divided into east and west by Hwy 31 and divided into north and south by Hwy 64.) Any online mapping program will help you visualize the area. Small communities included in this are Campbellsville, Wales, Bodenham, Yokley, and Rich.
