I was interested in the history of Purdy, TN because a relative of mine was Pugh Houston Thrasher who laid out the town of Selmer. I have an article in a genealogy of my family about this event. Pugh Houston Thrasher married Mary Eliza Howard, daughter of Willilam Howard and Elizabeth Ann Jolly Lucus Howard. Howard is my mother's line.

Can anyone help me find anything on Benjamin Anderson who married Prudence Kemp, her father was Nathan Kemp, in, I believe, the 1820s. Was his father "Aaron" or Archie? Where did his father come from? Benjamin was born 1805, but I'm not sure who his father was. He, Benjamin, is listed in the 1830 census. Thanks, Ray Anderson Durham, NC

I notice on the McNairy Co. site there are two places to post and read Queries. One is at the Search This Site portion, and the other is at the bottom of the page a Gen Connect Site both appear to be currently in use. Should I continue to post on both board for the same Co., at the same site? I'm a little confused, but thats not nothing new. Mary, You may wish to add to the community names Cotton Ridge According to Deed Book H, Page 307 " For cash in hand at Cotton Ridge in McNairy County, Aug 2 1860, J.P. Blakely sold to J.P.Peeples: a two year old bay filly & two head of cattle" ( per Nancy Kennedy ) In a letter written by Thomas Benton Blakley dated Jan10,1931 he states " The first school I ever attended was the summer of 1865. the teachers name was John ?antiberry, a cripple caused by infantile paralysis. I did not know then what the cause but I know now. Well I continued to attend the COTTON RIDGE SCHOOL everysummer till I was 9 years old" I think It was around the Finger Area but not certain. Any one have any ideas. Thank's M.Peeples

Thought I'd pass this on to the list incase anyone is interested.... www.bibliofind.com This is a site where bookstores (mostly used books) list their inventory on line. There are a few books listed for McNairy County. On the line that says "any other words", put in "McNairy". Of course, I want to buy them all, but its not in the budget right now.

Big Art: In the OCCUPANT AND REVOLUTIONARY WAR LAND GRANTS AND CLAIMS STARTING WITH 1824, I found John Shults, (No. 455) granted 25 acres in McNairy County, 9th district, 4th range & 4th section, on June 30, 1826. Same book: David Shults, (No. 456) granted 25 acres in McNairy County, 9th district, 4th range and 4th section, on June 24, 1826. Same book: Nathan Kemp, (No. 571) granted 25 acres in Mcnairy County, 9th district, 4th range, 4th section, on June 30, 1826. Same book: Joseph Kemp, (No. 458) granted 25 acres in McNairy County, 9th district, 4th range & 4th section, on June 24, 1826. Four of Nathan Kemp's children married Shults(z)(e), one being Joseph Kemp. My hunch is that these Shults(z)(e) were closely related and migrated to McNairy County together. These are the Shults(z) I find in McNairy County Census: 1830- David Shultz David Shoultz John Shoultz 1840- Henry Shults Jacob Shults Squire Shults 1850 - Henry Shultz James Shultz I appreciate any information on the Shultz line.

BigArt: I'm also interested in Shults genealogy in McNairy County. Four of Nathaniel Kemp's children married into the Shults family: Joseph Warren Kemp (b.1805) m. Jincy Shultz (my gg-grandparents), Susannah Kemp (b.1808) m. David Shults, Thomas Kemp (b.1815) m. Rebecca Julian Shults (widow of Henry), Betty Kemp (b.1823) m. Jacob Shults. Any information on Shults lineage would be welcome. Jane Kemp Frey

Jane, thanks for your info. on Shults(z). None of the people you mentioned are shown in the 1850 census as being the children of Henry and Rebecca. They must be descendants from some of the other Shults(z) that were in McNairy around that time. I don't have anything on them. In that respect, I have been told that several Shults(z) were given land grants in McNairy in the early 1800s but I can't find anything on that. Do you have any information? Art

Henry married Rebecca Julian in White County, TN in 1830 - 1835. They were in McNairy in the 1840 and 1850 census. One of their many children was James who is my gg grandfather. Does anyone know who Henry's parents were? When he died? Where he is buried?
