Hello Everyone, Can anyone help? I'm looking for a Louise HYAMS b.9-1761 d. 4/20/1900 in Chapel Hill, Marshall Co., TN. --- Cherrie G. Hays [email protected]

Does anyone connect to William L. Bartlett and M. E. Brown, married in Marshall Co, TN around 1850-1855 or so? I found their names on a list of marriages somewhere and can't remember where. My problem, I have a William L. Bartlett from Weakley Co, TN who married a Margaret Elizabeth Horne Underhill. Because I can not find anything on this lady under Underhill, I am beginning to wonder if I have the wrong name. Can anyone help. jean [email protected]

This information was posted on the Maury County mailing list by me. I'm looking for conformation on the children of William Wyles (Wiles) and Nancy McKee. They were married in Sumner County, 18 Apr 1805. I believe that their children were John Wiles (28 Dec 1805), William Wiles (Oct 1807), Alexander Wiles (1809), Elizabeth (1813), and Martha (1815). I have one source linking the two females to this family, but nothing on the three males. Nancy was the daughter of Alexander McKee (b. 1750, Ireland) and Mary Bean (b.11 Jun 1756, Germany). They were married1770 in Orange County, NC.and both died in Maury County, TN. I'm hoping that someone has a family bible with this information in it, some other source. From: "Wild Man" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [TNMAURY-L] McKee information Date: Wed, 27 Oct 1999 17:56:18 GMT McKee Researchers. Here is information that I didn't know I had. It was copied from the following sources. Marshall County Historical Quarterly, Vol 15, 1984 - 85 2 Mar 1833 Samuel Gordon sold Samuel McKee 140 a for $630, beginning on the S bank of Silver Creek at McCall's and Armstrong's beginning corner, N 13 poles, W 82 poles, S 11 poles, W 59 poles, S 110 poles, N 75 degrees E 127 poles, S 43 degrees E 56 poles, S 58 poles, E 57 poles, N 143 poles, W 57 poles to the begining. Witnesses: Wm. Wiles, John Wiles (Maury Co., R-81) This tract includes 51 A of the 3578 A of Catron, about 6 A from the Polk Grant, and 73 A from Martin Armstrong's 2,000 A Grant No. 90. 1846 Marshall Co., Chancery Court: Sarah McKee et al, Exparte Petition - Sarah McKee, James A. McKee, Wm. C. McKee, Samuel P. McKee and Sarah R. McKee, the last four (4) minors who by their regular guardian Sarah McKee and Andrew W. Denham and his wife Elizabeth C., formerly Elizabeth C. McKee, citizens of Marshall County - Samuel McKee died intestate some 12 or 13 years ago in what was then Maury County, now Marshall Co., leaving Sarah his widow and the others, except Andrew, his only children, and 140 A, and slaves. Marshall County Historical Society, Vol 3 The McKee's of Orange County, NC and Maury County, TN A thorough search of Orange County, NC records has not been made by this writer. However records in my possession have been checked, as well as marriage records and census records on microfilm at Tennessee State Library. A brief search of the military and colonial records was made by Mrs. W.A. Berryman of Mt. Pleasant, who checked on Revolutionary services of William McKee. She found a William McKee receiving a land grant in NC in 1857. 1. William McKee was born before 1755 and is found in the 1790 and 1800 census records of Hilsboro District, Orange County, NC. He executed his will 5 Oct 1822, proved February term of court, 1823. The will is found in the Will Book E, page 32. His wife was probably names Mary, as she is referred to as "Polly" or "Molly" in his will. She was also born prior to 1755. A William McKee served as a private in Coleman's Company, 10th Regiment, Continental Line in 1781. A check is being made to see if this record is for this William. It is felt that it is his record. The children of William McKee and "Polly" of Orange County, NC. Mary (Polly or Dolly) Ann married __________ Wood Rankin married, 7 March 1807, Lydia Ray Victory married __________ Boring James William, born 15 March 1777 in Orange County, NC married there 8 Mar 1810, Jane Jameson Betsy (Elizabeth) married _________ Hargis David married 3 April 1817, Jinney Allison 2. William McKee and his wife Jane Jameson came to Maury County about 1815. She was the daughter of William and Jean (Jane) Jameson of Orange County. William Jameson's estate was settled in 1795; administrator was John Ray. Jane, his wife, was guardian of Margaret, John, Jean (Jane), William and Robert. Margaret (born 1778), John (born 1782), Jane (born 1788) are all buried in the McKee-Roundtree Cemetery off the Carter's Creek Pike in Maury County, TN. Jane Jameson was born in Orange County, NC, 29 Mar 1788 and died in Maury County 22 Oct 1825. William McKee married in Maury County in 23 November 1826, Mrs. Jane Ray, a widow (probably of Matthew Ray). According to William's petition for divorce dated 21 April 1831, her children thought they should share in his property. She had returned in 1829 to NC. William owned considerable property in the Carter's Creek vicinity of Maury County. At his death on 29 April 1853, his estate was valued at approximately $30,000. The children of William (II) and Jane Jameson (see settlement of estate, Maury County, TN., Minute Book Vol 2, No 6, page 347) Victory married David Roundtree, 15 Feb 1827. (son of Andrew & Mary Roundtree) Louisa, born NC, 15 Oct 1812, married Joseph R. Jacobs, 7 Jan 1830, died in Maury Co, 14 Oct 1875. George Washington, born 1810 - 1820, married (1) Sarah Roundtree (daughter of Andrew and Mary Roundtree); (2) Jane Taylor, 2 Jul 1847. G.W. died in 1875. Sarah Ann, born 1810 - 1820, married Robert S. Bigham (Bingham), 22 Jul 1836, died 1855 - 1860. (ancestors of Frank Goad Clement, ex Governor of Tennessee) Mahala J., born about 1815, married John R.

Emily J., born 15 Aug 1825, married John J. Beasley, 8 Nov 1842; died 7 Aug 1902. George Washington McKee was born between 1810 - 1820. He is not listed in the 1850 census of Maury County, nor are several of his sisters and their husbands. They may have been living in Williamson County, since the part of Maury where they had lived is very near the Maury - Williamson line; or they may have migrated to some other state and then returned to this vicinity. The 1860 census would give a more definite birth date for G.W. McKee. His names is given variously as George W. G.W., Wash, and Washington. The record of his marriage top Sarah Roundtree has not been found, although it must have been about 1833. Sarah was living at the time her father made his will (23 Jun 1841). She was the daughter of Andrew Roundtree and his wife Mary Roberson (Robinson ?) who married in Person Co., NC, 5 March 1799. Andrew was the son of Thomas and Evy Sturgess Roundtree. Thomas died in 1790 in Orange Co., NC., and his will is recorded there. Andrew was born 25 April 1792, and died 11 Jul 1841. Mary was born 12 April 1782 and died 31 Jul 1864. The children of G.W. McKee and Sarah Roundtree as nearly as can be determined from relatives still living in Maury County: (most of the names given by Mrs W.A. Locke of Carter's Creek, granddaughter of John J. & Margaret McKee Roundtree, brother of Sarah Roundtree and sister of G.W. McKee. In 1850 census, Thomas is living with his uncle Robert; William, Robert Rankin, Mary J. and Emily E. are living with their grandmother Mary Roundtree. The History & Directory of Maury County, 1907, states that Thomas was the son of G.W. & _______ Roundtree McKee, and that Thomas' wife Sally Ann was the daughter of James & Margaret Taylor. She appears in the family in 1850 census. William A. (Andrew ?), born 4 May 1834 - died 9 April 1914. Robert Rankin, born 1835 (went to Texas). (served in C.S.A. Co.

McKee married his second wife 2 Jul 1847, Jane Taylor. She was born about 1826, daughter of James (born 1795) and Margaret (born 1805) Taylor.

I have been trying to find her parents and when she died. All I know is she died when my grandfather was young and he didn't remember what year. There was a Mary Jane Johnston 6/29/1862 probably a sister. I have hit a brick wall since none of that side of my family is still living. I hope someone can help.

In looking at The Cane Creek Church Of Christ minutes there is a Robert Johnston listed and by his name is noted d. 1847. I also noticed that there is a Susan Johnston listed. I have also seen Robert Johnston's name mentioned somewhere as being the Postmaster of Luna. The Cane Creek area is where Jonathan & Hepsie had their farm. Does anyone know anything about this Johnston Family and were Robert & Susan Hepsie's parents? All help on this would be appreciated. Thanks! Bobby Prosser

Folks, Correction. Sorry--Thomas Pratt and Rebecca Leah Dysart Wilson's son was Samuel Andrew Sterling Wilson, and not Thomas.... It was late. My apologies. Bill Massey In F. C. & L. Most sincerely, William R. (Bill) Massey

No, I am not researching the Bills family per say, only as they relate to the Steagall family of Marshall Co, TN.

Patricia, have you looked in the index (TN 1860) to see if he is living in another household.--He might be living in a DYSART household therefore would not be listed in the Bills data. Do youn have a lib near ? I have not been at ours in sometime, but the 1860 TN books ae there. Let me know--I'm curious. Whee do you live?

Hello Carolyn, Thanks for looking up James Artice BILLS in your files. I too am surprised that I have not been able to find him (or his wife and children) in anyones BILLS lineage. I guess we (my sister & I ) are the only ones doing his line so far. These are the census in which my sister has found him so far (I am doing the research by myself because she has two small babies & no time): 1880 Navarro Co. TX James Artice (25), living with Robert D. (Dysart) BILLS & family (Robert�s) 1890 Census was destroyed. 1890 Navarro Co. TX James Artice (45), living with Bettie A. FRENCH and living with children from first and second marriages. Navarro County Marriages Index (1846 - 1888): BILLS, J. A. pg 78 However, we have not been able to find him in any Marshall County census, and his parents are not listed in any of the census records my sister looked at. I can only guess his parents stayed in TN and did not go to TX with him. My sister was recently read a letter written by Robert Dysart BILLS where he mentions that his cousin James Artice is staying with him (in Navarro County)--but I have looked at the IGI and Ancestral Files found at the Mormon church family center and have not been able to locate him or his family. I really appreciate your help. I will try to get in touch with someone at the Navarro County Genealogical Society to see where I can find the documents you mention.

Hi Martha, I don't have a lot on the BRADENS, but would like to have more. I have a marriage record of WILLIAM W. BRADEN to ELIZABETH S. MAY dated January 19, 1853, Marshall County. They seemed to have had three children: Mary Ellen, Sam, and Bill, born respectively 1857, 1859, and 1860. (Note date of last child). Then there is a marriage of M.B. THOMAS to Elizabeth S. BRADEN, dated April 22, 1867, Marshall County. They had several children to include my Grandfather. In the 1880's this family moved to Weakley County, Tennessee. Elizabeth MAY and Elizabeth BRADEN are the same person as I recall family members saying my Grandfather Lewis THOMAS had a stepbrother called Bill BRADEN. It is my belief that William W. BRADEN was possibly killed in the civil war as there is a William BRADEN listed with the 11th Tenn. Calvary. M.B. THOMAS is also listed with HOLMANS Calvary, which became part of the 11th. The 11th was recruited in Marshall County. That is about all I know. If you find more, please let me know. Charlie Campbell
