I need the parents of George Elmore, born 1780-1790 re the 1830 & 1840 census of Blount Co. George assigned land, in 1837 Blount Co, TN, to William & Jesse Elmore. Apparently they were sons. The IGI names a George Elmore, b. 2 Oct 1780; married Hannah Cox, b. 19 Oct 1784. These dates are consistent with the census dates. Re the IGI Geo & Hannah had a son William, b. 1 Feb 1812, Jefferson Co, TN. William Elmore married Nancy L Dixon in McMinn Co, TN in 1849. They were in Blount Co in 1850. They were in McMinn Co 1870-1900. They had 2 sons, William Alexander and George O. They had 4 daus, Josephine, Mary, Jennie, and Penelope. In the 1900 McMinn, TN census William gave his birth as Feb 1812. Please reply if you have any information or clues on this family. Thanks, Pam

Seeking information on the Purcell (Pursell, Percell), McPhail and Matlock families who resided in McMinn County during the 1830-1900 time frame. William M. Purcell (c 1821-1864), son of Malcolm Purcell (c 1779-c 1855) and Mary McSwain, married Martha Matlock (c 1832-after 1880), who was the daughter of Henry Matlock, Sr. (1786-1851) and Nancy Rice (1798-1857). William Purcell had a brother, Daniel (1809-1851), who also lived in McMinn County. Another Daniel Purcell (c 1779-1851), brother to Malcolm Purcell, resided in McMinn County too. Daniel and Malcolm's sister, Mary Purcell (c 1775-1851) married Daniel McPhail (c 1770-1817) and they also resided in McMinn County. The Purcell family moved from Cumberland County, North Carolina to McMinn County, Tennessee--probably in the early 1830's. Note that Henry Matlock, Sr., both Daniel Purcell's and Mary Purcell McPhail all died in 1851--within a few months of each other. In addition, Charles Matlock, brother of Martha Matlock, also died in 1851. Was there a catastrophic disease that swept through the Athens area of McMinn County during the summer and fall of 1851? Thanks for any help offered on the Purcell, McPhail and Matlock families of McMinn County. Doug Doug Purcell 633 North Randolph Avenue Eufaula, AL 36027-1209 334-687-9787 dcpurcell@earthlink.net

Hello! I first published this on 23 Mar 2003 & was encouraged by the response. I am getting new contacts, new leads & most especially new hope for finding our �missing� family members. I apologize for having directed you to www.spiritfamily.org. I did not consider that MyFamily.com requires invitation access. Several of you have contacted me about getting in. I am working to take care of this ASAP. I ask for your patience if you have not yet heard back from me. Someone suggested that I add more specific info like additional names, dates, places, events known in our family. (My time has been going towards getting this piece ready, sorry!) I have revised the story and have also inserted some genealogy which I have placed at the end. Here then is my (revised) story: ********** Sheltons were already in the frontiers of America long before the Revolution. Our branch of SHELTONs takes on a twist a bit different from most other branches I know about; but perhaps not in the beginning. Family stories say one of our ggg?grandfathers was brother of Sarah who married Patrick Henry, the patriot. I suspect our line was part of the Sheltons found in colonial records of Virginia & the Carolinas. I have studied some of these lines and have followed them into the Indian territories of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas & Missouri still in very early times. We know that by the 1820s some of our Shelton ancestors lived in Missouri. By the 1830s some became Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Others in our family actively fought against them. When the Mormons were preparing to leave Illinois and move west in the 1840s, some of the Shelton children did not want to go; and so they ran away! . It is supposed that nonMormon relatives hid them. Most sadly, since angry mobs were then forcing the Mormons to leave, our Shelton family became permanently split apart. The two groups totally lost contact with each other. In Utah, the pioneers may have found refuge from religious intolerance; but FAMILY IS FAMILY. And these pioneer Sheltons ever longed to be reunited with the rest of their kin. This yearning continues into our day. As descendants and extended families of the Mormon pioneer Sheltons, we still seek to find our unknown family. Not only do we seek descendants of those who stayed behind, but we also seek to find their fathers� and grandfathers� families as far back as we can. Our Utah Shelton branch married into the families of ALLEN, BONNER, BROWN, CUMMINGS, CUNNINGHAM, FAUSETT, GOFORTH, GRAGG, GREGG, HAIR, HAMILTON, HARRIS, HARRISON, HENDERSON, HULLINGER, IVIE, JOHNSON, KINSEY, MANTLE, MARSHALL, MCGIMNSEY, MERTON, MORTON, ROBINSON, RUSHTON, ! SMITH, SULTZER, THOMPSON, WARDLE, WATKINS, WRIGHT & many others. We are learning that with tools like our www.SpiritFamily.org website that we can finally share information efficiently! Here's hoping the time has arrived when we can now push forward and finally find the roots from whence we came. If after checking this you feel you might belong to our scattered group or have information that could help find our missing kin, please write me (Sheila Gibson) at s2gibso@yahoo.com. You may also contact me thru the link at the bottom of the login screen of www.spiritfamily.org. Please join us in our project. Extended family is also very welcome. Thanks so much! ***** WARNING: The following genealogy contains unproven familylore & is presented for guidance only. �Familylore� is all we�ve ever had on some things! In my research I found many conflicts within the various published biographies, original documents & family records. Apparently, as each ancestor remembered, recorded and passed information down, they didn�t get together to get their stories straight! LOL! We know it is true that each of us remembers and perceives things differently. I can prove errors in some of our records, other info might never be straightened out. Just remember that for now the following is only LORE: Stephen SHELTON (b. 9 Mar 1809 in NC, son of Stephen Shelton & Elizabeth ?Unk) FIRST married Nancy BROWN (b. abt 1809, possibly in MO, d. 1832 in MO, dau of John Brown & Nancy ?Unk). Although not proven, familylore says the children of Stephen & Nancy were: Joel or Jewell (b. abt 1825, M, died when a young child); William (b. abt 1826, M, lost contact; Samuel (b. 1827 in MO, M, lost contact); Andrew Jackson (b. 1829 in Mo, M, called �Jack� or �Jo�, ?lost contact); & Mary Ann (b. 24 Dec 1831 in Harmony Township, Washington, MO, F, called �Polly�, went to UT, md John McKee FAUSETT). Stephen�s first wife, Nancy Brown Shelton d. abt 1833. #### Stephen Shelton SECOND married Abigail HARRIS (b. 6 May 1818 in Knoxville, TN, dau of John Harris Jr. & Abigail GRAGG). (Abigail had been married previously to ?Unk GOFORTH (div)& had Nancy Serilda Goforth (b. 5 Feb 1837 in , Washington, MO, F, adopted by Stephen, went to UT, md Thomas MANTLE.) The children of Stephen & Abigail wer! e: John (b. 4 Dec 1839 in Nauvoo, IL, went to UT, md Mary Morton); Elizabeth (b. Jun 1842 in Nauvoo, IL, d. 28 Aug 1843 in Nauvoo); Martha Jane (b. 22 Jun 1844 in Nauvoo, IL, F, went to UT, md James Baker HAMILTON); Joseph (b. 1846 at Mount Pisgah, IA, M, went to UT, d. 1867 not md); Hyrum (b. 10 Mar 1848 at Mount Pisgah, IA, M, went to UT, md Emmeline SULTZER); Stephen (b. 5 Aug 1851 in Provo, UT, M, md Margaret BONNER); & Abigail (b. 5 Jan 1854 in Provo, UT, F, md Adelbert HULLINGER). *SpiritFamily is lovingly dedicated to Leonard Aaron Shelton (1914-2003), descendant of the Shelton Utah pioneers. ~~Sheila Shelton Gibson, SpiritFamily Domain Administrator. ~ Sheila Gibson ~ SpiritHawk ~ Housework Makes You Ugly ~ Help Jamie Help E.B.

(This is the family of Stephen Shelton (b. 1809 NC) who first married Nancy Brown, a mixed blood Cherokee woman and second married Abigail Harris.) Hello!

Thanks! ~~Sheila Gibson~~ SHELTONS were already in the frontiers of America long before the Revolution.

We have renewed hope today in this age of cyberspace that with tools like this SpiritFamily website we can share information and finally find answers to questions we have been seeking for many years.

Below are the names of Browns and Hays from McMinn Co in the 1850 census There were two others on page 222 but I checked that one out and found they did not have a girl of the correct age. It's possible one of these families are the ones you seek. If the girl married before 1865 it wasn't listed in the Marriage records book for McMinn Co TN. The only Ann Brown to be listed married Robert Bryant in 1856. Hope this helps some. Maybe someone has access to the actual images for these pages. Good Hunting! Sharon > Brown, B. H.

RootsWeb will be performing scheduled maintenance Wednesday 12, March 2003 between 1 - 4 am MST on the following servers: free pages, www, news, archives, cgi, and list searches. Actual off-line time for a server could be about one day. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

I am looking for early 1800 to 1840 marriage information on the following people, all were children of Isaac and Mary McPherson: 1. George W. McPherson / Mary (possibly Kitchens) 2. Isaac McPherson, Jr. / Elizabeth Kennedy 3. Cely (?) McPherson / Bennett Norman (or Norman Bennett?) 4. Enos M. McPherson / Mahala J. Daugherty or a Mary Keeland 5. Lewis A. McPherson / a Rachel ? 6. Jane (or Jenny) McPherson / William F. Willis 7. Mary E. or F McPherson / James L. Taylor 8. Joseph McPherson / Martha Amanda Scott 9. William McPherson to ???? I have found spelled names of these people as Macpherson, McPerson, McFerson, Ferson, Pearson, etc.,etc., and I suspect that this may be part of my problem of not locating them in the 1800-1840 time frame. I really don't know where any of these people were married but I suspect that some were married in Roane or neighboring counties between 1810 and 1840. And I think that by 1840 most of them had already departed that area for parts unknown. Any information will be appreciated. Paul WhitePaul@aol.com

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the archived messages of this list or any other Rootsweb mailing list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is, when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents when they send their unhappiness to the entire list. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me.

Hi Does anyone have access to McMinn Co. Will Book #4? I'm looking for a copy of the wills for Albartis Arnwine 1857 and John Arnwine 1858. Thanks, Yvette Ramsdell Oscoda, MI

Leigh Ann, My Brown family came from McMinn Co. also. I will have to check my data to see if there is a connection. My Absalsom Brown married a Green and at her death he married her sister. The period of time is late 1700-early 1800. My Browns came from North Carolina to Tennessee during this early time. If there are any connections, I will be happy to search my data...Which at the moment is all hardcopy...lost my computer from a thunderstorm! Regards, Brown Brooke Comanche, TX -----Original Message----- From: LPartin@aol.com [mailto:LPartin@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 7:25 PM To: TNMCMINN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MCMINN] Bailey/Brown/Hays in McMinn County Hello, This is my first posting to this list. I hope someone has a connection with my family lines. I am looking for more information about Adeline Brown or Hays who married Wiley Bailey on 15 July 1865 in McMinn County. Wiley says her maiden name is Brown in his Civil War pension papers. The marriage record calls her Adeline Hays. I believe Wiley met her when he was in the Union army patrolling the Athens, Tennessee area. Wiley joined the 7th Tennessee Mounted Infantry in Clinton, Anderson County, Tennessee. They had four children: Phoebe Jane, Joseph Richard, George W., and Martha. Later Wiley Bailey shows up in Campbell County, Anderson County, and Union County, Tennessee. I believe that Adeline died around 1886. Any clue will be very helpful as I have reached a dead end on her line.
