    1. Re: [TNHARDIN] Hardin County to Arkansas
    2. Bob Ricketts
    3. Does anyone have records that show of a migration to Arkansas about 1871? My Great-Grandfather, Hugh Jasper Ricketts was born in Tishimingo MS about 1849, resided in Hardin County TN in 1870, was in Arkansas in 1872, and back in Tennessee (Henderson County) in 1875. I'm not sure where he was in 1880 but would like to communicate with anyone who might have some related information. Thanks, Bob Ricketts ___________________________ Bob R. {bobr@foresight.net}

    3. My g-g-grandparents (Winingham) also left Hardin County several years the war and were in Montague County TX by the early 1870's. While I do not have information on the wagon train they were with, my great grandmother remembered another family being ferried across the Mississippi, with their wagon, and seeing it capsize, with no survivors. I have tried to find something about this sad incident, without success. My g-grandmother also remembered how difficult life was after the war because of carpetbaggers and others who made life very hard on those living in the south, and her family's home near Crump.

    1. [TNHARDIN] Hardin County to Texas
    2. Jane Ellis
    3. My great, grand uncle, James L. Watson, Jr. went to Titus Co., Texas in 1869 according to his obituary posted below. His reason for leaving was probably due in part to the harrassment he was subjected to by troublemakers supportive of the union, among them Wade McCasland and Dallas "Dal" Brooks after the war. As you can see by his obit he was a true Confederate until death. ObituaryJ. L. WatsonHamlin, Jonas County, Texas On Christmas night at seven o'clock Grandpa Watson answered the call of death and passed over the river to join the hosts of other old Ex-confederates who long ago heard the great command. The deceased was born in Hardin County, Tennessee, on Nov. 1, 1846, making his age at death a few weeks past 72 years. He came to Texas in 1870 and first settled in Titus county. For about 28 years he had been engaged in the hotel business. Before coming to Hamlin some seven years ago he was in the same business in Chillicothe. Those of his immediate family to mourn his death, is a wife and three children, two sons, John S. Watson, of Globe, AZ and Sam J. Watson, Chillicothe, and Mrs. Louise Lee of Hamlin. The deceased was a soldier in the war of 1860-64 and often wore his dress uniform of the Southern Gray, in which he was laid to rest. The funeral was held at the Methodist church, of which he was a member. The pall bearers were six of our lately drilled soldiers namely, W. E. Routh, Marcy Allen, F. J. Brown, George H. McGee, John Walt G on, and W. L. Fletcher. These young men marched by the hearse as a guard of honor to the old soldier of a generation ago. After the funeral services, befitting the life of a quite good citizen, the body was laid to rest in the East Cemetery. Like many other good old men his familiar presence on our streets will be missed, but the three score and ten years for him had been more than passed, which was a testimony of energy upright life and fortitude.A self-appointed family historian and proud of it.

    1. [TNHARDIN] Moses Willis
    2. David----I can't find anything about my gggrandfather's actual date of death and place of burial. Moses was in the 1880 Hardin Co census with his second wife Mary Bevins. I found her up in Dyer county in 1900 living with her sister and brother in law. Supposedly his last years were with or near his other son Dan's family across and up the road toward Sardis from Shady Grove. My best guess is that he is buried somewhere near Dan and his family at Shady Grove. There are several unmarked grave sites near them. I have not been able to contact the person who might have a record of burials there. Someone has put 1890 as his date of death, but no one can verify it. I've been to the Savannah court house and library and couldn't find anything. Any ideas ? Thank you......you're doing a great job ! Don Willis **************Start the year off right.

    1. Re: [TNHARDIN] Rebecca Wade
    2. Gene Wade
    3. David, Thanks for the info. Unlesss somebody comes up with something different on parentage of H. B Wade, I'll continue to assume Austin Wade is his father, based on Austin's will.. Sorry but I have nothing on Noah Wade since I didn't list Noah in my charts. By the way, I show Dabney Wade (1754-1805) as Austin's father and William Wade (1725-1771) as Dabney's father and Richard Wade (1704-1757) as William's father. Perhaps we have a connection there?

    2. David Cagle
    3. Gene, My source for the Wade information I posted came from a family chart that I got off the internet. I actually was trying to show Bettie that we were cousins and didn't pay much attention to the chart. Since you ask, I have look back at my material that was written by descendents of the Noah Wade that lived and died here in Hardin County about 1845 or so. The children of Noah and Rebecca that they list were: 1. David Hampton Wade, b. 1810 2. Sarah Wade (Whitlow), b. 1812 3. Nymphia Wade (McConnell), b. 1818 4. William M. Wade, 1827 5. Martha Wade (Gray), b. 1828 6. Phoebe E. Wade, b. 1830 7. Noah J. Wade, b. 1832 8. Samuel N, Wade, b. 1834 H. B. Wade, b. 1813, was also on this list but had been scratched through. There has always been some confusion as to the name of Noah's wife Rebecca. I have seen Twyne and Satterfield. Can you shed any light on this?

    1. Re: [TNHARDIN] Rebecca Wade
    2. Gene Wade
    3. David, I have a question about what you show for your Wade connections. My ggf is Harvey B. Wade (1813-1889) m. to Amanda Perkins. According to my information, Harvey Wade is really the son of Austin M. Wade (abt1778-abt-1851) based on the 27 Feb will of Austin M. Wade (Maury Cy book C2, page 279. In his will Austin names daughters Sarah, Mary B, Martha S and sons William S, Harvey, Dabney and Andrew J. I have a copy of Austin's will and Harvey is definately listed as a son. Would you kindly provide your source of information on father of Harvey Wade? Possibly there were two Harveys? I have been told that there were two separate Wade families in Maury County and they are easily mixed up. Thanks, and I enjoy your postings.
