Gail, Very interesting letter! Thanks, Betty B. From: "Gail Roorda" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [TNGRAING-L] Re: Mayes/Greenlee Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 15:39:17 -0600 Dear Fellow Researchers, Re: Greenlee's in the Civil War. I have been collecting some interesting information about the Greenlees on the internet for my original correspondent. One really neat find. A researcher named Gary Porter has posted a transcription of a letter written by John C. Greenlee to his Uncle Eli Greenlee to the Greenlee message board at Genforum. As well as telling about some of the Greenlee's Civil War experiences, there is also some information about various family members. Marriages, deaths etc. (Unfortunately it does NOT say Uncle Edward Mayes died in 186_ whatever <grin>) There is some information about James Mayes (most likely Edward's son James G. he is listed as living in the neighborhood of Eli McDaniel). The URL for the Greenlee message board: http://genforum.genealogy.com/greenlee/ The message is number 336. You can just insert 336 into Jump to # or you might try searching on Grainger to locate other messages of interest.

Gail, Your post is very much coherent and makes perfect sense to me. Tennesse has to be the most historic and picturesque Civil War example of how brother fought against brother in this very senseless war, more so than any other state involved. Tennessee itself was so torn, everyone chosing sides according to their own conscience. And being the stalwart mountain men that they were, no one was going to tell them how to join up, regardless if Jeff Davis was a Tennessean.. They were a fearless and upstanding people, much owing to their Scots-Irish heritage.The fact that their immediate family had faced Indian massacres and fought in the Battles of Pt Pleasant and King's Mountain did not go without consideration. They had centuries of previous genetic training. To this day, I recognize this trait in my family; as you obviously have too. I am honored that I am instilled with this. It makes us survivors of a proud heritage. Every now and then, Debra : From: "Gail Roorda" <[email protected]> : Reply-To: [email protected] : To: [email protected] : Subject: [TNGRAING-L] The family of Edward Mayes : Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2003 23:10:39 -0600 : : Debra said, : : "His sons fought for the Union in the 49th KY." : : This has nothing to do with the Rookards, but with the children of Edward : Mayes. This morning as I was getting ready to post my information on : Edward's family to the list (I DO need to check this information re Janes S. : Kidwell out some more) and it occured to me that Mary Mayes husband, James : S.

I want to thank everyone that took the time to do the look-up for me. i know it is there but not that book. I was just hoping that record would be there. I do have a paper copy of Moses son Henry Ballinger is married to Alsey/Alcy Trogdon on 4 Feb 1807 in Grainger Co., Tennessee. But they lived in Jefferson Co. Thanks again for everyone help.

Hello list, Any of you have the Husband of Nancy Bray-Griffen. What happened to him? Nancy Bray was born in 1866 Claiborne County Tennessee area. Children of Nancy and ? Griffen were: Joe Griffen born 1885, Mary born 1888, and Madison J born 1891. Nancy Bray-Griffen married John MP Clark in Jan of 1893. In 1910 the daughter Mary was in the home of her stepdad John Clark, she was listed as Mary Henell age 19 and a widow with one birth and Zero living. No further information on her. No further information on Madison J. Griffen either. Any clue with the above folks is appreciated Thank you Nancy

Dear Betty.... Yes, that's listed as a "Favorite" place but there apparently was a Perrin in every Cardwell family since a Thomas Cardwell married Martha Perrin in 1710....so it's no wonder there is so much data about"Perrin" Cardwell..there was so many of them. Thank you for the suggestion. Clara

Thank you for the answer..You never know when something may pan out and I've been looking for her parents for a Loooooooooooong time. Clara

This is a wonderful reference to have. I can only afford to purchase a few at a time but am definitely going to get some of these that may list my family.

Dear Fellow Researchers, Re: Greenlee's in the Civil War. I have been collecting some interesting information about the Greenlees on the internet for my original correspondent. One really neat find. A researcher named Gary Porter has posted a transcription of a letter written by John C. Greenlee to his Uncle Eli Greenlee to the Greenlee message board at Genforum. As well as telling about some of the Greenlee's Civil War experiences, there is also some information about various family members. Marriages, deaths etc. (Unfortunately it does NOT say Uncle Edward Mayes died in 186_ whatever <grin>) There is some information about James Mayes (most likely Edward's son James G. he is listed as living in the neighborhood of Eli McDaniel). The URL for the Greenlee message board: http://genforum.genealogy.com/greenlee/ The message is number 336. You can just insert 336 into Jump to # or you might try searching on Grainger to locate other messages of interest. Gail

Hi, Clara - Do you ever look at the Cardwell message boards at genealogy.com? I'm a Cardwell descendant, too, but not of the Perrin Cardwell line. I look at those boards from time to time to see if there is anyone I might want to contact about my line, and I know there are LOTS of messages regarding Perrin.

Dear Grace, Once again Grace to the rescue!!Thank you for this information. <duh>Since Andersonville was a Confederate Prison naturally James S. was a Union man. I told you guys I was half asleep. <Gail really redfaced here after having read truly stupid final posting of the evening.> Believe it or not I actually have a degree in history. What did I say about things posted to the internet never going away? I can just picture someone searching the Grainger list archives years from now and thinking <gee> this is a clueless woman! I am not really doing much better this morning. After watching me stumbling around the farm office DH has suggested I should go take a nap. <smile> Now only some man would suggest that taking a nap is a good idea if one is leaving home for four days.

Gail, According to "Some of the Descendants of John Kidwell 1730-1973" compiled by Priscilla Kidwell in 1973, James Stirling Kidwell is a son of John Kidwell and 2nd wife, Catherine (Wolf) Davis. James S. was born 16 Mar 1825 in Grainger Co., Tennessee. He served in Co C 4th Tennessee Cavalry (Union). James died in Andersonville Prison, Andersonville, Ga, 9 Feb 1865 of scorbutus. This information from "Prisoners who died at Andersonville Prison, Atwater List" The Atwater List was compiled by Private Dorance Atwater, 2nd N.Y. Cavalry, who was a prisoner at Andersonville. This report was first published in 1865. The Kidwell information also states that James married 25 Feb 1849 in Grainger Co to Mary May, (aunt of Nancy Daniel Kidwell), born 24 Dec 1830 in Grainger Co., Tn, living in 1880, in District 1, Grainger Co. Their children were: William W., John Henderson, Wesley Taylor and Samuel. I am interested in any information on Catherine Wolfe Davis, 2nd wife of John Kidwell. Catherine was daughter of Charles Wolfe and wife, Susanna, of Hawkins Co., Tn. Catherine was married before 1813 as she is named as "Catherine Davis" in the will of Charles Wolfe dated 17 May 1813 in Hawkins Co., pro May term 1819. I believe Catherine Davis and 1st husband had a child. Any information on this child and the full name of Catherine's 1st husband would certainly be appreciated. Catherine Davis married 2nd 3 Jan 1820 Grainger Co., Tn to John Kidwell. My husband descends from Hannah Wolfe, sister of Catherine, who married Aaron McGinnis. Grace

Dear Bobby and Betty, First, my apologies to Bobby G. Carwile. And thanks for the information on Edith Rucker Whitley's Grainger County marriages book. I did not know that another book of Grainger County marriages for this time period had been published. I purchased Kennerly's books many years ago. It is often useful to get another person's transcription and index of records because there are usually a few errors of some type in any such publication. Since Betty listed a few books from one publisher, I thought that I would list the following. Betty's book list is included below my message. I am not endorsing any of these books nor do I have any connection to these organizations or booksellers. I do not receive any money nor financial benefit from posting this information. I am only providing this information as a service to those who want to know about some books available on Grainger County. Therefore, I believe that it is okay for me to post this information. There are other Grainger County record books for sale, but I don't have the information handy at the moment. I'll post it as soon as I can. 1. Grainger County, TN, and Its People, 1796-1998, may still be available. People who subscribe to TNGRAING may be able to provide information on it.

I mentioned the book in connection with a post on Adkins/Atkins. There are several entries in the book for Kidwell. I have to go to work, so I don't have the time this morning, but if someone else does not, then I will answer this afternoon. Most of the pieces in the book are written by descendants of the families, but most of them give a name and mailing address, and I saw one that mentions Bittle/Biddle and Greenlee and Rev. John Kidwell that specifically states she would be happy to hear from anyone about these family lines. Kathy B. Isbell, 717 Brookgreen Terrace, Graham NC, 27253. Later, Betty From: "Gail Roorda" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [TNGRAING-L] The family of Edward Mayes Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2003 23:10:39 -0600 Debra said, "His sons fought for the Union in the 49th KY." This has nothing to do with the Rookards, but with the children of Edward Mayes. This morning as I was getting ready to post my information on Edward's family to the list (I DO need to check this information re Janes S. Kidwell out some more) and it occured to me that Mary Mayes husband, James S. Kidwell was most likely dead by the time the 1866 land document was filed. I know that it supposedly says Mary Mayes wife of James S. Kidwell (and undoubtedly does say this since I have a grreat deal of faith in Larry's transcriptions). However, Mary was most likely the "widow" of James S. Kidwell. Note that the reference to Mary is different from the other entries regarding the daughters and sons-in-law. Every now and then various pieces of infromation come together in my tiny mind. <grin> There was a Catherine Kidwell aged 62 listed in James and Mary Mayes Kidwell's household in 1850. I believe that this would be Catherine Wolf Kidwell second wife (and widow) of John Kidwell. I am not descended from Reverand John (that I know of anyway), but my lots of my relatives intermarried with this family. It runs in my mind James S. Kidwell died in Andersonville Prison. (It seems from my research that a lot more of my relatives and their connections died in various prison camps north and south than died in battle.) Somebody mentioned Grainger County Tennessee and its People 1796-1998". I understand there is a section on the Kidwells and I wonder if someone could do a lookup and see if there is anything about James S. or James Stirling Kidwell. Why would the reference to the Rookards who were Union men trigger this msg, (I am actually wondering how coherent this post is <grin> since it is getting very late here.) Apparently Mary Mayes's husband was a Confederate, however, the Greenlees (remember Mary Mayes Kidwell's mother was Nancy Greenlee) were Union men (I did find some interesting things about the Greenlees online).
