I wish to make a correction regarding James P. Spring (witness to deed of James B. and Clementine G. Smith Harris). He is John Smith's brother-in-law; John Spring was his father-in-law. Thank you. Ann Gary

Since we are on the SMITH subject, the following families were all from Rowan Co. NC to LCT about 1818. I would like to contact descendants working on the following lines. Cornelius SMITH and wife Nancy MERRILL married 1810 Rowan Co. NC. Lucy SMITH and William MERRILL married 1814, Rowan Co. NC. Joseph SMITH and wife Mary MERRILL, married about 1825 era probably LCT. James SMITH and Parthenia MERRILL married about 1830 era probably LCT. Parents of the MERRILLS were Jonathan MERRILL and Nancy ELLIOT who were in Lincoln and Bedford Co. TN 1818 to about 1850. Grandparents of MERRILLS were Capt. Benjamin MERRILL and Jemima SMITH, a daughter of Andrew SMITH of New Jersey. I would like proof the above SMITH's were or were not related to each other. Pat

To Mark and Sherry - Thank you for posting your Smith data. Unfortunately, I at this time am unable to connect with Clementine G. Smith, Jane B. Smith (both of whom married Harris men) and possibly a Jno. Smith, merchant in Benton Co. AR 1860. This Jno Smith's wife is Mary, probably nee Spring, daughter of John Spring as John Spring, age 70, was on 1850 Census Benton Co AR (Bentonville) in household of John Smith age 37 and wife, Mary 34. They had children Nancy age 13, Nicholas, age 11 (all born in TN); Samuel age 8 born in AR. Also in household in addition to John Spring age 70, born VA, was Virgil Ranks age 15 b AR. James P. Spring and Jno. Smith were witnesses on deed when James B. Harris and Clementine G. (Smith) sold land in County of Benton, AR, Mar 27, 1845. Ann G

Can anyone tell me if Mount Hebron Presbyterian Church is still in existence? The church I am looking for was in existence at least as far back as 1833.

You might do what we did. We bought a used tombstone. The marker place had someone replace a stone with a larger stone and the old inscriptions are blasted away leaving an indention where the new inscription is done. We got a really good price on this. I would mark the graves with the names that you know regardless of in which order, yes any marker would be better than none. I think that normally the wife is on the left side but as for children I have no idea. -----Original Message----- From: Diane Casey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 3:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LCT] Inexpensive grave markers Hi all- I hope you won't mind this post.

Lucky for me my husband's ancestors are buried in the LCT and Atlanta area. I have come across a few unmarked graves and would like to mark them in some way. A few concerns: - how to do this from Arizona? I can initiate the purchase while in the vicinity but it could be a year or two until I see the results. I recently contracted with someone to repair a stone in GA. I paid half upfront. The cemetery recommended him. He promised to send picture upon completion. Instead he has asked for the remainder of the money and told me the work was complete and hasn't had time to take pictures. Luckily I have an unexpected business trip in July so I can see the results for myself. But there must be a better way. - the kudzu in Atlanta burying even 5 foot high stones in uncared for cemeteries - cost is always a factor. I may end up buying several stones. In cemeteries where there is care, I would not mind buying the little bronze markers that stick in the ground. Anyone know where to get these? - unmarked graves or graves marked with a fieldstone. There are 2 stones side by side and I know the names but not which stone represents which person. Is there a tradition of burial? The sister is buried on the left? Would the father be in between? Or on the far right? Should I just guess? Wouldn't that be better than leaving them unmarked?

There is always a possiblity. Peter W. Weaver, born April 6, 1812, Habersham County, Georgia and died December 25, 1877 in Winston County, Alabama is one of my brick walls. He did have two daughters born in Tennessee (I don't know what part) after 1870 (Sarah Jane born c. 1871 and Rosetta born c. 1873.) He was in Winston County by 1858 or 1859 and supported the Union during the Civil War. In the Winston County, Alabama, 1867 Voting Registration and Loyalty Oaths, he listed Habersham County, Georgia as his place of birth. The 1870 Winston County census lists South Carolina as his birthplace. I haven't located him in either the 1850 or 1860 census. Family stories state that he went to California during the 1849 gold rush and returned in 1850 or 1851 because his wife and father had died and he needed to care for his children who were staying with family members. One son was named Henry, who stated on the 1867 Voting Registration and Loyalty Oaths that he was born in Lumpkin County, Georgia on November 26, 1842. Peter's daughter was possibly named Martha (some say Nancy.) He married a second time to Armindia Martin, possibly in Forsyth County, Georgia, but I don't have a marriage record because of the inevitable courthouse fire that burned the only book in which their marriage would have been listed. Armindia Martin Weaver was born January 29, 1833 and died Octiber 14, 1910. I did find Armindia in the 1850 Forsyth County, Georgia census living with her parents, Peter H. Martin and wife Mary. Forsyth County, Georgia 1850 Census Dwelling #1188 Peter H. MARTIN 55 m Farmer 600 VA Mary 50 f VA Tabitha E. 25 f Ga Mary N. 22 f Ga Margaret M 20 f Ga Peter B. 17 m Farmer Ga Arminda C. 15 f Ga Jhonathan 13 m Ga (Johnathan)?

Benjamin and Mary were born in Georgia and Nancy was the first child born in Alabama. I did find find a marriage record for a WEAVER, Peter marr. DICKSON, Margaret 09/10/1835 in Habersham County, Georgia (none in Lumpkin or Hall Counties) but I cannot verify that this is my Peter W. Weaver. I descend from Peter and Armindia through their first son, Benjamin Weaver, born December 30, 1852 in Carroll County, Georgia and died August 10, 1915 in Winston County, Alabama. Benjamin married Anna Baughn (no record of marriage found yet) and their daughter Mathilda Jane Weaver Lovett was my great-grandmother. She told me that the Weavers came from South Carolina to Georgia and then to Alabama. She died in 1984. I would love to find out who Peter W. Weaver's parents were. There have been so many Peter Weavers and even Peter W. Weavers. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [LCT] Peter Weaver >I am a Weaver...

Hello List, My Grandfather died in 1934 in Nashville Tn Vanderbelt Hospital. Was wondering what the chances would be for me to get his hospital records??? Has any one on the list ever been able to get records that far back from that hospital?? And where would I go to find these records now? Would they still have them stored at the hospital?? Thanks for any help Brenda

Would there be a record for this man and crime in Lincoln County, Tennessee or would I need to contact the state archives?

John "Jack" SMITH Sr. (William) was born on 23 Jan 1752 in VA. He died on 12 Mar 1816 in Bedford County, TN. 1800 Pendleton District, SC lists a John Smith on page 39. John and Elizabeth Smith moved to Bedford County, Tennessee from Pendleton District, South Carolina, in 1810. Apparently the Smiths and John Smith, Jr. died of a common illness. He was from Pendleton County SC in 1812. (Richmond) He bought land in Bedford Co., TN in 1810. From Bedford Co. Deed Book C, pg 556, Bedford Co, TN. He was deceased by 1816. The family was in North Carolina in 1774 and moved to Pendleton District, SC before 1792. While researching Smith lines in Bedford County, the author found the following: In 1792 a man by the name of John Smith received 50 shillings for the scalps of two grown wolves. In 1803 a Jacob Smith received $2.50 for one wolf puppy. In 1809 Jacob Smith received $26 for one grown and six puppy wolves. In 1816 Jonathan Smith was rewarded with sixty-five cents for two red fox scalps. In that same year Charles Smith received ten shilling for one old and eight young foxes. In 1817 Jacob Smith, of Bethel Township, received $26 for one grown and six puppy wolves, the same amount that the man by the name of Jacob Smith had received in 1809 for the same number of animals. In 1820 Jacob Smith of Bethel Township received $54 for two grown and six puppy wolves. In 1826 David Smith was given thirty-nine cents for one red fox scalp. In the next year John Smith received the same amount for a red fox scalp he brought to the court house. Although the amounts do not seem very much now, it must be remembered that that was possibly the only hard cash those men were able to come by. And although the fox and wolf scalp orders do not provide a wealth of genealogical information, they do provide evidence of the hard life that our ancestors had to endure in Old~Bedford. During the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, and on into the late-1800s, the common farmer had very few ways that he could acquire cash. The farmer did not need much cash for the basic necessities of life, such as shelter, food and clothing. He had ample trees and stones in order to construct his house and outbuildings. Being a farmer, he raised his own vegetable and grain crops and maintained enough cows for milking and to provide meat when needed. Every farmstead bred sheep and chickens and other domestic animals for food. The farmer could always supplement his family's diet with wild game that he could shoot in the nearby woods and forests. The farmer's wife and daughters made most, if not all, of the family's clothing from cloth woven from the yarn they spun on their home spinning wheels. The farmer grew flax and raised sheep for the linen and woolen yarn spun by the farmer's wife. The somewhat isolated farmsteads had to be self-sufficient in order for the settlers to survive. But there were some things that the farmer and his family might not have been able to produce themselves. Not every farmer had his own blacksmith shop on the farm, nor was every farmer skilled in the making or repairing of shoes. As a result, skilled artisans and craftsmen settled in the vicinity of the farmsteads and offered their products and services for sale. These craftsmen would accept food and clothing as barter for their products and services, but there were times when currency, in the form of printed money or milled coinage was necessary. The county courts provided the means for the settlers in their regions to obtain the currency they could seldom otherwise obtain. The frontier of Pennsylvania abounded in natural wildlife. Among those animals were many fox and wolves. Being carnivorous and predatory animals, the fox and wolf would attempt, and sometimes succeed, in killing and eating the domesticated animals on the local farmsteads. To curb the population of the predatory wild animals, the county courts offered what were known as fox and wolf scalp orders. The court would pay a certain amount of currency to a farmer who would bring to the court the scalps of the various animals he had killed. The courts would pay for the animal pelts also, but they were not so much interested in them for the sake of the fur trade as they were to simply have proof that the farmer had actually killed the animals he as claiming to. The rates that the courts paid varied from one county to the next, and from one type of animal to another. Some examples can be seen in the Bedford County Court House. There are boxes of the fox and wolf scalp orders stored in the Vault #1 in the court house's basement. In the Bedford Co. Family What I have is John Smith married Elizabeth Smith probably in NC and had my Nancy Smith, born Feb 17, 1783. The other children were William, Sarah, Rachel, John, Jr (1779-1816), Rezin, Mary, Elizabeth, and Ruth. Nancy Smith married John Ingle, born about 1760 in Germany. He died Nov 27, 1816 in Bedford county. They married about 1798 in Pendleton Dist., SC. their children were William, John, George, Rezin, Elizabeth, Sarah, Lucretia, Nancy, and James, the latter being born in 1815 in Bedford Co. This John was born before 1800 probably in SC. Nancy Smith Ingle's brother, John Smith, Jr. I have a little info brom deeds which is: Land Deeds of Bedford Co 1807-1852 by marsh, Deed Book BB, p. 182: NOV 6, 1830 Rezin Ingle, Sally Ingle and Lucretia hatley who was Lucretia Ingle and Mack Hatley sold to Rezin Smith, all of Bedford Co., TN, whereas John Smith, Jr, brother of Nancy Ingle who was mother of Rezin Ingle and Sally and Lucretia.John Jr. died leaving 100 acres on Sinking Creek near Phillips and Campbell. Deed Book W, 1827-1828, page 28: Aug 1, 1825: Rezing Smith bought more or same of late brother's land. Evidently he, his wife, and John Jr. all died from an influenza plague in 1816. BIRTH: Family Bible of Rezin SMITH copy in possesion of Patsy WEST. John married Elizabeth SIMPSON daughter of John SIMPSON and Elizabeth M. in Jan 1772 in SC. Elizabeth was born about 1750 in VA. She died on 6 Mar 1816 in Bedford County, TN. Her maiden name is not documented. There is a deed transfer from SIMPSONs to John and Elizabeth Smith. But there is an Elizabeth GIBSON's death recorded in the SMITH-ROBERTS Bible records. The GIBSON's lived nearby, so her maiden name could have been GIBSON. John and Elizabeth had the following children: 12 M i. William SMITH was born on 3 Oct 1772. He died on 15 Feb 1794. 13 F ii. Sara SMITH was born on 16 Nov 1774 in NC. She died in 1850/1860 in Bedford County, TN. She was no longer listed with the family in the 1860 Census in Bedford Co., TN. Sara married John ROBERTS Sr. about 1790 in Pendleton District, SC. John was born about 1765 in VA. He died about 1861 in Bedford County, TN. 1800 Pendleton District, SC Census lists: John Roberts on page 38. John & Sara Smith Roberts came into "our Country"(Bedford Co., TN) early. They were already there in 1820, according to census. John was born in VA in 1770. Artimesia was living with John Roberts in 1860. She evidently never married. Original Will was destroyed by fire when the Bedford Co., TN Courthouse burned. This copy of the Will of John Roberts is from a Chancery Court Law Suit regarding his estate in 1868. Found in Book B, pg 53-55.

On the Bedford Co 1836 Tax List no Smiths are in the 18th Dist. However, there were two in the 19th district....Thomas and Rezin. Part of the 19th became Marshall Co and it was originally near Richmond, close to Lincoln Co. I think these Smiths were first from Lincoln Co TN and married into the Ingle family. Joseph Ingle was born in 1761 in Germany and died Nov 27, 1816 in Bedford Co. He is probably buried in Richmond. He married Nancy Smith who was born Feb 17, 1783 and married about 1798 in Pendleton Dist., SC. They had Rezin, Elizabeth, Sarah, Lucretia, Wiliam, John, George, Nancy, and James. Most of the Smiths lived around Richmond. I had a red- haired teacher named Nancy Smith in the 1950's from the same area. Because of the names and especially Rezin born about 1801 I would say that this is your Nancy Smith. Rezin married (1) Amelia MEDLIN . Rezin married (2) Sarah OLDS . Sarah was born on 8 Nov 1800. She died on 8 Feb 1873. She was buried in Richmond Cemetery, Bedford Co., TN. 17 F vi. Nancy SMITH was born on 17 Feb 1783. She died before 1830 in Bedford Co., TN.
