Hi list. I am looking for information on John Jones who was from the Acton TN area in 1962. He is the son of Jackson or (John) Jones. I also believe that he was a Methosidst preacher. I would appreciate any information that anyone has. Tricia

Just checked the epidemic site - they have no specific information for McNairy Co.

Most of those pages of epidemic information, refer to the epidemics, wide spread, causing a lot of deaths on records at that time period, nation wide or regions. They are a good guide for reference. One might need to go through the county death records and create a data file from that information, to get exactly what you are looking for.

Houston County. Adjoining County to South is Humphreys County. The western boundry of the County is the Tennessee River.

I was off the list for a while. Did anyone ever discover if there was a smallpox or yellow fever epidemic in the county in the mid-1850's?

Sonya, There is also the possibility that if she actually is American Indian, that she did not really know where or when she was born. I don't think that the American Indians placed as much importance on that as most others did. Perhaps she really didn't know and made a guess or perhaps there were certain American Indian traditions that we don't know about, such as changing dates to match other important events in their lives. I just couldn't say but there could be lots of reasons for these seemingly unusual changes in times, etc. Here is some various tidbits about Coburns in NC that I have collected. Note the many variant spellings for Coburn. Bulletin of The Genealogical Society of Old Tryon County, Volume XXI, August 1993, Number 3, pg 144. The Bosch/Pest/Besh/Best/Bess Family of Blankenloch, Germany by Miles Philbeck. . . .. Bastuan Best petitioned the N.C. Council on 7 Apr 1750 for a warrant to survey 400 acres in Anson County, location not stated. He petitioned the Council on 29 September 1750 for a grant of 300 acres in Anson County "which being opposed is deferred till the next Council." A land warrant was issued for survey of 300 acres in Anson County for Bostin Bast on 27 August 1753 "on the Branches of Leeper's Creek & Killian's Creek being the Place where he now Lives." The survey, no longer extant, was made 18 October 1753. The patent was granted 16 May 1754 but the description was recorded in error, an error that would not be corrected until 1795. Bastian Bess bought 200 acres 20 August 1754 from John and wife Elisabeth Sigle and Matthias Claus, the deed being witnessed by Peter Hoyle who is purported to be the father of Bastian's wife Katrina. Bastian bought 210 acres on 2 March 1762 on the South Fork of the Catawba River from Jacob and wife Mary Coburn "opposite to Kuykindales Mount." . . .. 2 Oct 1784. Martin County, North Carolina, Abstracts of Deed Book A, 1774-1787, edited by the Library Committee, pg 98. 956. (A-556) William Collins to John Ross, Jr. 2 Oct 1784. 20 pounds, 100 acres beginning at my old line, then south along Cocoburn's Line to Phillip's Line to the first station. William (x) Collins (seal). Wits: J. Ross, William Bennett, Francis Cockburn (his mark). 1820 Census Anson County, N. C. page 4 James Cobren 1 M 16-18 1 M 18-26 1 M 45+ 2 F 10-16 1 F 45+ >From Howard & Jane Lindsey on 26 Apr 1997: Among my Martin Co. deeds, I have one Jan 1, 1798 from Thomas Ross to John Coburn Jr., witnessed by Thomas Staton (neighbors include Francis Coburn); and another from Hugh Ross to James Howell, witnessed by Ezekial Staton. I know that Ennis Staton married my Dougal Ross's daughter Sarah. And seems like some may have moved to Henderson Co., TN., with the younger Dugal Ross too. My Priscilla Coburn/Corbin married Frederick Staton probably in either Martin Co., NC., or Edgecombe Co., NC., sometime before 1770. Frederick's father, Jesse, was from the Snow Hill, Maryland, area, probably in Dorchester Co., MD. I cannot say for sure but it's even possible, I suppose, that the Coburns were associated with the Statons from a time as early as that Maryland period. In which case, the Coburns would not necessarily be Cherokee but from some of the Eastern Shore tribes. Intermarriage in that area was not at all uncommon.

Quinton Moore (mentioned on earlier post regarding Coburn) is son of James B. Moore and Cynthia MORRIS MOORE. James B. MOORE (1856- 1907-1910) is son of William MOORE(1818-1885) and Milly KING(c1830-1873). Cynthia MORRIS is daughter of Benjamin MORRIS and Harriet COBURN. Quinton MOORE married Ada WILLIAMS. I do not have any additional info on Harriet Coburn or Benjamin Morris, but am always searching and willing to share what I have on the above folks. Margaret [email protected]
