are you related to Mary Elizabeth Kirby Cassetty she married Martin C Cassetty They were my Ggrandparents ----- Original Message ----- From: Ruth Kirby Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 4:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TNMACON] Macon Co. family Shirley, I knew they were in Mo. but not the Co. They went to Mo. After their first daughter was born. Their second daughter was born in Mo. John Jr. was born in 1862 so he probably never remembered his father. John Sr. died in IL. The way I have always been told he died of pneumonia. So he probably died in a hospital not in battle. Jonnah applied for his pension in Mo. I found it in the Civil War records. She applied under the name Elizabeth Thompson Widow of John T. Thompson. I have been in touch with the National Archives to make sure they are my John and Elizabeth. Yes, Jonnah can home after John died. I would love to have your info. on James Sutton. Who was his first wife? Where is he buried? I have him in my Family Tree Maker as Jonnah's second husband. I have always though he had a first wife because he wasn't buried with Jonnah. Her stone has on it "wife of James Sutton".

I have book 2 which gives a correction on Robert Lamb, but I need to know the information that is listed in book 1 if someone could help me, please. I would be glad to do any lookups that anyone would need in book 2. Brenda

Shelta, Great website, keep up the great work. Tina

Shelta, I like the new look. Will you have different pages from the Macon Co. Times? I think that is a great idea if that is possible. I did have a surprise when I starting reading this first one as Earl Gregory was brother to my mother-in-law "Kathleen"(should have been Kathryn). In Feb. of 1936 she and Curtis Cothron were married and "Lawrence Smith" and her sister Carleen(Coleen) were their witness. Curtis (my father-in-law) passed away April 2001. Kathryn and only 2 of her sisters are still with us. That was a tragedy that stayed with the family for many years. Of course it happened before my husband and I were born but we had heard about it.

This was submitted as a Macon Query but as you can see the writer doesn't know if it pertains to Macon or not. However, since there is a Glover family in Macon I was wondering if any of you good researchers would be able to help out. Shelta Looking for George Washington CURVIN, b.Bet 1805-1832 d.1868. GW CURVIN married Lettie Glover in 1852 in Benton Co, AL, but was born in Tennessee (no idea which county). If anyone knows of his parents or siblings and would share this info with me, I would be most appreciative!

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 1200 prisoners on record from the state of Tennessee and almost 800 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. As Tennessee was one of the states that was torn apart and was truley brother against brother,,I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Want to know how you descend from Revolutionary War soldier and Congressman Joseph Anderson for whom Anderson County is named? Want to see pictures of Joseph, his son Alexander Anderson and his grandson David Deadrick Anderson for whom Dave Nelson was named? Then don't miss the Nelson Reunion for the descendants of Jave and Ellen Evans Nelson. Jave and Ellen were married in Anderson County, TN in 1877. They were parents of David, Henry, Catherine, Frank, Tom, Cynthia, Page, Taylor, Sam and Clara. Ellen died in 1925 and Jave in 1926. Both are buried in the old Liberty Church Cemetary. Ellen was the daughter of Thomas and Permelia Evans York. Thomas and Permelia were living in Claiborne County, TN in 1900. Permelia is said to have died at Cloudswitch, TN in 1901. Thomas Evans and his son Hugh were both Civil War Veterans, and Hugh was at one time a Clinton City Marshal. Ellen's other brothers and sisters included Silas, Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, and Milton. We would especially like to hear from some descendants of these people. The Nelson/Evans reunion will be July 20, 2002 at the Farmers Grove Baptist Church fellowship hall in Blockhouse Valley beginning at 11:00. Come and bring your families, friends and food, family pictures and any other memorabilia you would like to display. There will be fun and games for the kids. For more information, contact Carolyn Johnson at <[email protected]> or Barbara Kesterson at <[email protected]>.

The only Sarah Farley/Farlie I found was on pabe 37 Sara Farley b. 21 May 1852 d. 05 Nov 1942 and buried in the Fairview Cemetery.

Hi All: I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. Its been pretty nice in Indiana, just a lot of rain lately. I need to see if someone could do me a favor, please. I need a look up in Volume 1 of Macon County Cemeteries if possible. I attempted this request from the look up volunteer, and for some reason my e-mail came back as undeliverable. I have already checked Volume 2, and did not find what I needed. I am looking for a Sarah Farley or misspelled as Farlie, born abt. 1811, and is listed in the Macon County 1880 Census as aged 69. I am certain she died and is buried in Macon County, however, nothing to document or prove that. Thank you all so very much for your time. I sincerely appreciate your kindness.

Shirley, I knew they were in Mo. but not the Co. They went to Mo. After their first daughter was born. Their second daughter was born in Mo. John Jr. was born in 1862 so he probably never remembered his father. John Sr. died in IL. The way I have always been told he died of pneumonia. So he probably died in a hospital not in battle. Jonnah applied for his pension in Mo. I found it in the Civil War records. She applied under the name Elizabeth Thompson Widow of John T. Thompson. I have been in touch with the National Archives to make sure they are my John and Elizabeth. Yes, Jonnah can home after John died. I would love to have your info. on James Sutton.
