Does anyone know the location or area making up the Civil District 23 enumerated in the 1850 US Federal Census of Lincoln County? Would it be in the Lynchburg area? Thanks in advance. Jane Sims :-)

Hey Julia, This may be the John I am looking for. I am narrowing down all the different J. Moore's in LCT during 1840-1880. I am pretty certain that I am looking for John F. Moore, born about 1842 in TN(based on 1870 LCT census listed as J. F. Moore). John, son of John Harkins Moore Jr., was listed as being born about 1846. Dates, among other things, on the census records aren't always correct. I believe his brother, James, was James Frank Moore. There is a Frank Moore listed on the 1870 LCT census with about the right dates for this family. I also believe he is the J. F. Moore that married Mary E. Wanslow in LCT on the 19-Oct-1865. Do you have excel? Robert L.

Does anyone have any information on John Moore, born about 1846? He was the son of John Harkins Moore Jr.. John was listed in the household of John Harkins Moore in both the 1850 and 1860 LCT censuses. Can't find him after that. Any help is appreciated. Robert L. Jackson

Thank you Cindy, Yes, these are the Woffords I am looking for info on. The name was spelled with an a on the 1850 LCT census. I did miss William Wafford/Wofford in the "Lincoln Lineage" so happy you found it and sent it along.

William WOFFORD left a will proven July 5, 1858 in LCT. He names his wife Judith daughter Lucy and grandchildren (children of his dec. son Isaac WRIGHT aka Isaac WOFFORD) Mary Eliza, William Francis, Isaac Rufus, Robert Harvey, and Luther. Son Isaac WOFFORD "...deceased and who was begotten out of wedlock upon the body of my present wife Judith whose maiden name was Judith WRIGHT." Son Isaac WRIGHT was known in the state of TN and MIS as Isaac WOFFORD but in SC before they migrated to LCT as Isaac WRIGHT. From Bastardy Bonds in Spartanburg, SC State vs. William WOFFORD/Judah WRIGHT A bond was signed before Saml Lancaster, Justice of the Peace on March 22, 1804 by William WOFFORD, John WOFFORD Sr. and James WOFFORD in the matter of Judah WRIGHT who had given birth to an Illegitimate female. So it looks like the above named daughter Lucy could be this female. The grandchildren, children of Isaac WRIGHT aka Isaac WOFFORD are on the Mississippi 1850 census. I find no cemetery records for William and Judith but found this in the "LCT Pioneers" by Waller Vol 1 page 85. Mortality Schedules of LCT 1860 Judah WOFFORD 74 female, white, SC, Aug, Disease of bowels 8 days. Judith belonged to the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church per "LCT Pioneers Vol 22 pages 56-61 Does anyone have info on this family or is researching it? I believe Judith WRIGHT could have been related to Jacob WRIGHT of Boonshill LCT as Jacob also belonged to this church as well as Susanna Jones who also may be a sister to Jacob. Julia

Trish, do you have some Looney names you would like for me to check against our Looney file? Nita In a message dated 3/8/2005 11:49:55 A.M.

PLEASE NOTE :  TSLA will search the two published volumes of Tennessee Convicts: Early Records of the State Penitentiary, 1831-1870 for a listing of a name.  The entries in these two volumes are verbatim transcripts of the original records. E-mail TSLA and we will check to see if there is a listing for the subject in the index. There is no charge to check this published index, and TSLA will notify you of the cost to make a copy of the record if found. If the individual was in the Tennessee State Penitentiary after 1870, you will need to submit a written request for a search for the name.  TSLA will not accept e-mail requests to search penitentiary records dated after 1870. Instructions for ordering copies of entries found in the following index, as well as ordering a search of the later Tennessee State Penitentiary records, can be found in our section on services available by mail (listed under "State Penitentiary and Record Groups").

I am not related to the Coffey line. I checked out www.familysearch.org and found the following. Not proven by me. Also go on the internet and type in Chalkey's Chronicles. You will bring up the main page with 3 volumes. Scroll to the bottom of each volume and check index for Coffey or Coffee to see what else you can find on your Coffey family. Then I suggest the name Coffey is common in Capt Thomas Graves lineage. Go on internet and type in http://www.gravesfa.org/gen169.htm This site is over 495 pages in length in case you consider printing. Just scroll until you come to Coffee/Coffey names. There are several connections. Note the family name number on the first one you come to. Then look for that number again to locate each family member's further genealogy. Marvelous site.

Dortha: Do you have a J. P. WAKEFIELD in you file? He signed my grandfather James Franklin WRIGHT marriage bond 26 DEC 1883. James married Willie Etta ARMSTRONG. Both James F. and Willie Etta should have been living on Chestnut Ridge/Petersburg Rd. LCT (dist 10) at the time of their marriage. Willie Etta's mother was a KING. KING, CRANE AND MORTON land all bordered my great grandfather James WRIGHT land. Julia

I have seen the name J P Wakefield, but I haven't found a connection. Some have suggested that some of our Pigg family moved to Marion, IL, and that possibly my Elizabeth Pigg went with them and met Mr Wakefield there. I can tell from census records that Mr Wakefield was born in IL. Sorry I can't help you.

Does anyone know this story and can shed some light? Curtis CRANE was born June 1, 1897. His friends called him "Dixie"; he grew up in Tennessee, and later changed his name to William LYELL, never telling anyone why, other than sometimes stating he did so after committing a crime. He was born to Sally ASHBY and his father’s last name was CRANE, a farmer. William received an appointment to West Point but never attended. While in his twenties, he had a song and dance act with a man named Frank PIGG and they went by the name of "Pigg and Crane. Julia

I am looking for info about son of William White, Rev War soldier who died May 1833 Lincoln Co TN, married Eliza[beth] K. Wilkerson. The son was; WILLIAM K. WHITE born August 22, 1852 Lincoln Co TN, died Sept 12, 1876 Giles Co TN. He married Aug 2, 1874 Lincoln Co TN to Martha ____ [I think?] Can anyone tell me more about this William K. White? He went to TX and had a son there named Cheatham White who was living in TX in December of 1864 when his grandfather, William Clark White, was murdered in Giles Co TN.

I am trying to find anyone who are decendents of Soloman Roan and Fanny Parrish in the 1840 LCT census. Thank You, Bill Parrish

I am trying to locate records on Andrew MOORE who died intestate 28 August 1827 in Lincoln County. Marsh's "Early Unpublished Court Records" book doesn't begin until 1838. Is there a resource out there that indexes/abtracts court records prior to 1838? This particular Andrew MOORE married Kindness MNU (died two days after Andrew). They had the following children: Alexander S, Nancy J MOORE, Betsey Ann MOORE, Martha B MOORE, Rebeckah K MOORE, Alfred E MOORE, James T MOORE and John B MOORE. John BUCHANAN and John MOORE were appointed administrators of the estate (Village Messenger). By 1838 John BUCHANAN was the only one listed as guardian of the younger children in the court records.
