Looking for any information on what happened to the First Settlers of Giles Co. after they were burned out and run off their land by the military from Ft. Hampton during the years 1809-1811. Did they stay and rebuild again, or did they give up and move on to some other place? I am particularly interested in finding any information on James Reynolds, John Reynolds, John Phillips, Benjamin Phillips, William Phillips, Richard Little, and John Cunningham. I would really appreciate any information concerning what happened to these men and their families. Ami Caudill

Thanks to Pat and Judy who responded to my message on Glascoe! I noticed a William Buchanan on the 1850 census of Giles. Anyone researching "Buchanan " in Giles? Samuel Stephenson of was living in Giles in 1850. He had a daughter Mary,age 18,in 1850. The Stephensons went on to Limestone and Madison counties in Alabama. A Mary A. Stephenson married a Mr. William Buchanan in Limestone on March 15,1872. Did any Giles" Buchanans" migrate to Limestone County,Al? I am also interested in James Montgomery who on Aug.13,1817,along with Thomas Stewart purchased 115 acres on both sides of Robertson' Fork from John Childress. This James Montgomery is not believed to be the James Montgomery who deeded to James Shields,Mar.16,1812, 200 acs. on Big Creek in Second Distict. Also, A James Mongtomery was granted land on June 15, 1810. My James Montgomery married the sister of my Samuel Stephenson, Margaret Stephenson in 1808 in York County,S.C. My Samuel Stephenson is said to have married a Mary Shields,probably of Giles. My James Montgomery sold out in York Couny,S.C. on Oct. 28,1817, and used a new wagon he had bought at the sale of the estate of William Byers Jr. to move his family to Giles. James Montgomery was born about 1780,but the place of his birth is not known. James and Margaret Stephenson Montgomery,it is believed, had the these children: Thomas Jefferson(c.1810) Margaret (1812) Robert Stephenson Montgomery(1814-1885) postmaster at Lynnvile,Giles County,TN.,(1868-1885) Francis Marion (c.1816) Roark(c.1818) Mary E.(1820)m. John Ramer(1798- John Marshall(11 Mar 1823-1896),m. Angelina Strickland;(2) Martha C. Nichols. Dr. James M.(14May 1825-17 Jan. 1892)m. (1) Angelina G. Strickland;(2) Abigail Allen Dr. Samuel Wilson (23 April 1827-16 Jan 1892) m. (1) Melissa E. Strickland; (2) Caroline E. Thomas Ashford (3) __ LaSache; (4) Lucinda (Bottoms McElroy. Note: much of the information has not been proven about the children. Mr. Elmer O. Parker,a descendent of John Stephenson b. 1785,brother of my Samuel Stephenson,was for over thirty years assistant director of the Miltary Archives in Washington D.C. He has done much research in York County,S.C.where James Montgomery lived. He found the above information on the children above in "Biographical Historical Memoirs of Western Arkansas",(Chicago @ Nashville)1891. James Montgomery appears on p. 20 of the 1820 census of Giles-1 male 26-45(1774-1784);2 males under 10(1810-1820)and one female 26-45(1774-1784),Margaret Stephenson b. 1788,his wife;and 3 females under 10(1810-1820) Close to him on p. 20 are his relatives by marriage:Stephensons and Barrons. If anyone researching Montgomerys in Giles can add to or subtract from the children above, it would be greatly appreciated. Where James and Margaret lived after Giles is not known.

I wish someone could tell me what you know of Venable BROWN; I think there is a hist. marker on the highway So. of Pulaski but my husband is always past it before we can stop and he won`t retrace his tracks. The names Venable and Brown run in my WALL family from Giles Co. TIA Sue in Al.

Hi Folks, Todays update includes: 1850 Census Dist 7 transcribed by Marilyn Hare. Thanx Marilyn Dave www.rootsweb.com/~tngiles

I am seeking information on Susan GLASCO or GLASCOE,or Susan Delila GLASSCOE who married a Lt. John Glascoe from S.C. who died from sickness,imprisonment,or wounds shortly after the Civil War ended. He married either into the family of George Alexander Stephenson/Samuel Stephenson of Giles County,TN. or the mysterious PERRYS of Giles County,TN. Both the Stephensons and the Perrys were from South Carolina. One Robert GLASCOE,60,years,b.S.C.and his daughter Priscella,28,b. TN. were living in Giles County,TN.in 1860. George Alexander Stephenson and his wife Elizabeth Sarah Perry were living in Giles County,TN. in 1860. Susan Deliliah GLASCO(spelled GLASGOW) was living in the home of George Alexander Stephenson in Madison County,Alabama in 1870. She had a 9 year old daughter born TN. SUSAN Glasco went to Limestone County,Al.with Alexander Stephenson and Last trace of Susan was on the 1900 Census of Delta County,TX. She was 62 years old, born in 1838 in S.C.,living in the home of George Alexander Stephenson's daughter and her husband Dr. Jeff. Ratliff. George and Elizabeth Perry had died in Lamar County,TX. by 1900. If the Glascoes were on the 1860 census or if any Glascoes are buried in Giles County, I would greatly appreciate the information. Many thanks, Tom Stephenson

AngieD, Do you have a William Scott who married Mary Kidwell, daughter of James William and Elizabeth Angus Kidwell, in Giles County cir 1830's? They are listed in the 1850 Giles Co. Census. I believe that Mary Kidwell was William's second wife. Judy

Dear All, I keep hoping that someone might stumble upon some information on John and Mary (H.? [Henry?]) Massey who lived in the Cornersville-Lynnville area in the early to mid-1800s. Their children included Drury, Eliza, Joseph H., James H., Leroy F., John W., Lucinda C., and Mary Massey. Some of them married into the Poarch, Short, and Burgess families. Any scrap of information would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Bill Massey In F. C. & L. Most sincerely, William R. (Bill) Massey

I received this through snail-mail this afternoon, it is a copy of Record of Deceased for my grandmother, Mrs. Emma Lee Randolph Long. Her place of birth was listed as near Pulaski, TN. on July 7, 1892. Her parents were listed as Frank Randolph and mother was listed as Babe Randolph, it goes on to say that Randolph was the maiden name of the mother as well. Mrs. Emma Lee Randolph Long died on June 3, 1969 in Winter Haven, FL. I know there was a Frank Randolph on the 1880 census of Giles Co. age 21, married to Martha age 24, and a son named Samuel age 1 or 2, could not make it out very well. Does anyone know anything about Frank and Babe Randolph ? By the way, they were also listed as parents of Mary Lou Randolph Long. Any help on this family would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Robbie

I have found a Daniel F. Long on the 1880 census of Giles Co. He was listed as age 21, with a sister named Amanda age 18, a sister named Minerva age 37, sister named Rosanna age 37, and mother was Jane age 64. Apparently they were living in house hold with another Long family : Dick age 21, Nicholas age 30, S.M. age 33, wife of Nicholas, daughter named Malena age 9, son named George N. age 7, daughter named Amanda age 5, son named ezra age 3, and a son named Thomas H. age 10 months. I am hoping that I have finally found my great grandfather, Daniel F. Long. Does anyone have any info or connections to this family ? Robbie

First of all, does anyone have access to Giles Co. marriages after 1900 ? I am looking for marriage date for C.H. Long and Maggie Simpson. Also looking for marriage date for Ezra Long and Maggie Simpson Long. Many Thanks. Robbie

Dear Listmembers, This is my first posting. Looking for info on: HEWITT, M. D. Lafayette Killed at Fort Donelson, TN, February 15, 1862. Hewitt was a Giles County resident who gave his life to the Confederate cause while serving in the 3rd Tennessee Infantry. I think that Hewitt's daughter was Mary Elizabeth who married Hugh King Thompson 27 Aug 1875 in Giles Co. They migrated to Ellis Co TX around 1900. Mary Elizabeth is said to have been half cherokee. Oral history says that Hugh King Thompson's father (my wife's grandfather) was Marcus Coleman Thompson, but I have been unable to find any info on him. Thanks for posting the 1880 census of Giles Co. I couldn't help but notice all the Colemans and Whitfields. One of the sons of Hugh King Thompson was named Marcus Coleman and another was named Basil Whitfield. Perhaps there is a Coleman and Whitfield connections somewhere. Jim Frimmel Weatherford, TX
