I just sent a check to Greene County Genealogical Society . P. O. Box 1903 Greeneville, TN 37744 to join and receive the Greene County Pioneer and letter just came back. It was stamped "undeliverable as addressed".

<<< Travelers had to forge rivers and etc. Hardly something a child did by himself unless your referring to Davy Cockett, at the age of 12 his father forced him to scout the way for the old Dutchman Siler. After traveling 400 miles, Davy returned alone to Morristown, Hamblen, C. TN Patti >> I'm not quite sure how to take the above statement since we're not exactly talking about Davy Crocket or Davy Crocket's family. Hard to understand peoples intent with their words when we can't see or hear their expressions. Btw, just as a side note, I have been to East Tennessee a few times in my lifetime, as my father, Jack Ashley, son of George W. Ashley was born and raised there. So I feel I do have some understanding of the area roads and the weather there. However, back to the topic at hand, let me assure you that many Stanberry families lived in Washington Co. TN before spilling over in to Jefferson, and Greene Counties. In fact, Washington County is exactly where the first known Stanberry (Stanborough) family settled in East Tennessee after arriving from Frederick Co. VA. Other then that, all I can add here is that John W. Stanberry himself applied for his own military pension, filling out the nescessary paperwork to do so. I somehow doubt he would have put Washington Co. TN as his birthplace if it weren't so. I had only listed the older Jacob Stanberry as a possible father to my John Stanberry in my last post. But, I also have a few other men noted in my research as possible fathers, including Thomas Stanberry who married Sarah Cass 21 Dec 1824 in Washington Co. IL. Thomas died abt 1840 in McMinn leaving Sarah. It has been told to me that Sarah Cass Stanberry came back to Greene Co. after Thomas' death. So I feel this is also a strong a possibility for John's parents. John may have been farmed out at the age of 12, as was the custom to do by his mother as an apprentice to learn a trade. Or it's possible that Azra Koonta(z) could have been some sort of relation to the Stanberry family and John was placed in his care. John was never adopted. You see there are many possibilities for John's parents. I have no further information on William and Margaret (Mary) Thompson Stanberry and do not even know if they continued to live in Greene TN after a certain period of time. Do you have any other documentation for them? Theresa Ashley - Kingsley

Hi, I don't know if this would help or not, but there is a lot of material on John Casper Welty in the Greene County Pioneer publication, Nov. 2001, Vol. 17, Number 2. Included is a pension for the Civil War. Some dates on the lineage go back pretty far. You can get a back copy of this publication from the T. Elmer Cox Library. Renaee

William Stanberry m. March 26, 1792 Greene Co., TN Margaret Thompson. Thompson is a secondary line I have research some. Most of Margaret’s family resided throughout their lifetimes in Greene County. I don’t know anything in regards to Jacob Stanberry, but believe William & Margaret would be a stronger possibility as being the parents of your John. Depending where Jacob resided in Washington County, travel was slow and really tough back then. I have traveled from Greeneville to Johnson City numerous times over the years. At present it’s a beautiful drive, but I can remember when the route was a narrow, winding road. Travelers had to forge rivers and etc. Hardly something a child did by himself unless your referring to Davy Crockett, at the age of 12 his father forced him to scout the way for the old Dutchman Siler. After traveling 400 miles, Davy returned alone to Morristown, Hamblen Co., TN. Patti

I am looking for Cochrans who were in the West Plains, Howell County area of Missouri who were also in illinois at one time. I found an Emaniel born Tenn. in 1847 in the 1880 LDS census for Willow Springs, Howell County, MO. I am wondering if he is connected to my Hiram Cochran born 1848 in AR whos folks both were born in ILL. Family rumor has it that Hiram came from a large family that split over the civil war and they never got back together. Hiram was supposed to be from White Plains area in Howell County, MO.

I couldn't tell you anything, since I don't have information about him. John's brother Valentine Sevier did reside in Greene Co., TN and had a son John. But I can't tell you anything about him either. Sevier is a secondary line I've researched a bit.

Do you know the names of John Sevier's wives?? The Garoutte's and McAfee were in Greene County and Hawkins and I think Washington Counties....And I believe that a John Sevier married into the Garoutte family....But, have not been able to find out...Thanks Sandy Wainwright

His father was Valentine Sevier, mother Joanna Goade. 1st Governor of TN, led the Washington Co. militia before & during the Revolution, fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain, was instrumental in forming the short-lived state of Franklin. Patti
