I was cheking out Diane Casey's website "1850 Annotated Lincoln County, TN Federal Census" today. Great job Diane! I knew that my ggg-grandfather, Robert MOBERLY (MOBLEY) had left Lincoln County by that time, so I searched for some related surnames, and found Stephen COLEMAN. He was half-brother to Robert's mother, Frances COLEMAN, who married Isaiah MOBLEY. I noticed that he had a daughter named Cisily. Frances had a daughter named Sicily. The name, spelled in various ways, was fairly common among the Mobleys. Is anyone researching Stephen COLEMAN? I am looking for clues as to what Robert MOBERLY might have been doing in Lincoln Co.,etc., and would like to exchange ideas. Carol __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

These Turneys were related to the Jacob B Turney Sr family of Lincoln Co TN (there in 1830s, 1840s they had moved to Boone Co Arkansas, connect to Timmons, Davis, Hancock, etc in LCT) Anyway, I have the parents of Frances Coleman as Robert Coleman and Frances Mathias. I don't know anything about Stephen Coleman being a half brother to Frances Coleman Moberly, but I have as sisters to Frances Coleman Moberly - Rebecca Coleman married Burwell Cox, and Nancy Coleman married William Moberly. Anthony Blacksmith Turney married 01 May 1810 Warren Co KY to Frances Moberly - Sec. Clement Mobley, Jr., consent by father Isaiah Mobly.....that is how they spell the name. Anyway, bios on Anthony Turney say that he, his wife, and his brother-in-law soon after his marriage went by flatboat from KY to Natchez. (Eve Turney Smizer had already made this move, then to Columbia Maury Co TN where they built a house). Anthony then went back to Kentucky and 1818 moved to Illinois. I have wondered who his brother-in-law who made this trip might be, would have to be one of the Moberlys. Robert Moberly signed as witness to Anthony Turney selling land to his brother Daniel Turney (married 1818 to Vashti Moberly)...this was 28 Feb 1811 Warren Co KY. So it would seem Robert Moberly 1811 was in Warren Co KY with the Turneys, and he might be the one who after that traveled to Natchez.....and then into Maury Co TN. He might not have gone back to KY at that time with Anthony Turney. Jacob B Turney Sr and sons were in Smith Co TN until after 1820 census and then moved to Lincoln Co TN. I have never figured out why he alone went there or what was the attraction.....Is this about the time Robert Moberly moved to Lincoln? He probably would have known Jacob Turney SR. I know I am not much help......sorry. Mary

in the History of Wayne and Clay Counties in Illinois on Anthony Turney (wife Frances Moberly) ....about 1815 Anthony Turney in company with his wife and brother-in-law, went to Natchez, Mississippi in a flat-boat, and in the fall of the following year returned on horseback to Kentucky...After reaching home, his father in 1816 made an extended tour through the Illinois territory, and located what was afterward called Turney's Prairie, to which place Anthony and his father came in the spring of 1818..... The War of 1812 ended early in 1815 - about May or so in 1815 the TN men began to arrive back home from New Orleans......and thru that summer got back home. They had been not only at N.O., but also other campaigns from 1812-1815 all thru the southern area - Alabama, Mississippi, some to Florida. You see beginning in summer of 1815 a lot of those men taking off for places they had marched thru - Alabama being where a couple of the TN Turneys moved to. There were also KY men involved in this war under Jackson. So for Anthony Turney and his brother - in - law (a Moberly?) going to Natchez sometime in 1815 makes sense. Around 1818-1820 you see a lot of TN and KY men moving to Illinois.....there was land available. Now I don't know how Lincoln County fits in to all this.....if perhaps some of the men had gone thru the area and liked it and came back after the war.....as I said, Jacob Turney Sr did not make the move to LCT until after 1820 census. His wife was a Gilliam and they were doing this same thing - looking over Alabama land, etc. It was a very active time 1815-1818 with a lot of men moving to a new location. It seems always after a war ended, men moved. The attraction was always new land. When did Robert Moberly move from KY to TN? Was he in the War of 1812?
