Overton Co. Reseachers, I found the following obituary on-line. I am not researching this family, however wanted to share this with those who are: Thanks, James M. Maxwell The Arlington Journal; Arlington, Texas; 1930 http://pub-lib.ci.arlington.tx.us/research/localhist/journal1930.DOC March 28 PIONEER RESIDENT DIES OF HEART FAILURE A. HORACE COPELAND FALLS DEAD IN PASTURE As the sun was slowly sinking in the west the spirit of A. Horace Copeland familiarly known as “Pappy” or “Uncle Horace,” took its flight to a land where there is no suffering or sorrow. He had just returned from the funeral of Harold Grogan the son of his old friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Grogan, had changed clothes to do his customary night chores, got on his horse and went to the pasture to round up the cows having a dairy and doing all the work with his wife’s assistance. After he had been gone about half an hour, Mrs. Copeland got uneasy and started out to find him seeing the horse without its rider. She at once phoned her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Wessler at Arlington to come at once. Their neighbors Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Graham caught the message over the party line and immediately got in their car and went to the pasture where Mr. Copeland had his cows rounded up and where they found him dead, he having been stricken with heart failure. He had often expressed a wish to die in action and that wish was fulfilled. He left a task unfinished, started suddenly on a new road to heaven. It has been said by his children that he boasted of this year being his 80th and seemed to be as happy over the thought as a young man when arrived at the age of 21. He was born November 26, 1850 in Overton County, Tenn., having come to Texas in 1874. He married Miss Eleanor Donaldson Watson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Watson July 29, 1879. In 1881 they moved to the place where they now live about four miles northeast of Arlington near the Watson Church. The land and a two-room house was presented to them by Mrs. Copeland’s parents. In 1895 the little house was torn down and a beautiful two-story home built, where all their children were reared. All the children except one were living and were present at the funeral. The missing child, Mrs. W. A. Reynolds, passed away about fourteen years ago, that being the first death in the family. Many happy years were spent by Mr. Copeland and wife in rearing their family and it was only last year their home was thrown open to many friends and relatives who came to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Hundreds of people visited them on this happy occasion and all were served with light refreshments. As “Uncle Horace” would say: “I just wanted our friends to break bread with us.” On the Sunday before he passed away he told some of his children that he wanted their mother to remain at home after he passed on and for them to look after her every want. His going was just as he wished and his perfect trust and childlike faith in his final destiny was beautiful. His brother T. B. Copeland of Tenn., who was a soldier in the Confederate army, had to leave home after the war to save his life because of “bushwackers” coming to east Texas, later on to Tarrant County. Soon afterward A. Horace Copeland came and made his home with his uncle, Rev. A. S. Kayter, who named the city of Arlington as there was on Arlington up to that time. Mr. Copeland joined the Baptist Church at “Arkansaw” Lane about where Grace Chapel now stands, three miles southeast of Arlington. This part of the county did not have stores or churches at that time but was just an open space with few trees. In 1892 a Presbyterian church was organized and called the West Fork Presbyterian Church, but known by most people as the “Watson Church” of which he was a member at the time of his death. He was made an Elder March 11, 1894 and ever lived the life of a christian. He was loved and respected for his goodness and consideration of mankind. The community has lost a good citizen and one who took a great deal of pride in seeing Arlington and surrounding communities prosper. Survivors are: His wife, five daughters and one son: Mrs. J. E. Richards, Fort Worth; Mrs. J. T. Connelly, Dallas; Mrs. Geo H. Wessler, Arlington; Mrs. A. B. Post, Fort Worth; Mrs. Ed Bailey, Hamlin; Hugh Copeland, Dallas, and fourteen grand children. Services were conducted by Rev. W. A. Binyon, Pastor, assisted by Rev. L. O. Collier for Forest Hills, Rev. Floyd Poe of Dallas and Rev. E. B. King of Fort Worth. The remains were laid to rest in Watson cemetery. -- Kila navíc? NOVINKA speciálně pro ženy - Synephrine Inulin Liquid - Miluj své tělo! http://www.sportobchod.cz/synephrine-inulin-liquid.htm

Overton Co. Researchers, Firstly, I am not a researcher of the Davis family, but I found the following obituary in a rather obscure publication and wanted to share it with any interested parties. I did some additional research which I describe below which leads me to suspect strongly that this is William Davis son of Lt. Col Samuel Davis CSA by his first-wife Amanda Knox. Also, in the following obituary “Hilham” is spelled with two “L”s “The Frisco Employes’ [sic] Magazine” August, 1933 (Vol XI; No VIII; pg. 15) William Davis, pensioned assistant yardmaster, died at his home at Brownwood, Mo., on July 8. He was born at Hillham [sic], Tenn., April 9, 1856, and served Frisco Lines from November, 1886, to December, 1899, as switchman, flagman and yard foreman at Memphis, Tenn. He left the service and re-entered as switchman at Memphis, April, 1900, serving later as engine foreman and assistant yardmaster until the time of retirement on November 30, 1924. He was retired due to disability. His pension allowance was $26.05 a month and during his lifetime he received a of $2, 796.55 Here is the link for the obit: http://198.209.8.207/lochist/frisco/magazines/fem_1933_08/fem_1933_08.pdf Also according to this site: http://www.joanrodenberger2000.com/dennis_john.html “William was living in Memphis,TN in 1907 according to Fannie Belle Bilyeu's Eastern Band Cherokee Application ( # 36230 ).” This seems to be in harmony with the above obituary Finally, the state of Missouri has placed a searchable database of many death certificates (1910-1956) on line here: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/resources/deathcertificates/#search William Davis’s DC is not downloadable but the following info is given: Name: William Davis Date of Death: June 08, 1933 County: St. Louis City City: St. Louis City Certificate Number: 21258 I hope this helps someone.

Thank you Jim, some neat stories. Alice ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Hi Betty, That is what I don't know. William Dale of Hilham could possibly have been related to those Dales of Dale Hollow, but I can't currently confirm it. From what I have seen, he lived completely seperatley from them and I have not found any interaction between them, BUT that does not mean they were not related. However, if they were it must have been a rather distant relationship. The problem I address in the report is that a large number of descendants of William Dale through his son James Anderson Dale claim to be related to the Dale Hollow group, but that is because they claim mistakenly that James Anderson "Anse" Dale (1859-1935) was the same as A. J. Dale the son of William Jackson Dale the son of William Dale who married Martha Hamilton Goodpasture. I wish someone could tell me who my William Dale of Hilham was. He is the same age as William Dale who married Martha Hamilton Goodpasture, so it is very difficult to sort them out in the records. For what it's worth, I think William Dale of Hilham was named "William Anderson Dale". What seems to be his gravestone at the Spicewood Cemetery says. "W.A.

Greetings Overton Co., Reserchers, I apologize for the length of this report, but it represents many years of research that have finally yielded results. I had been blocked for a longtime on my Dale ancestry (many published sources contradicted my findings), but I am at last confident that my research is accurate. I have included in this document all of the sources I have consulted as a way of illustrating how I arrived at my conclusions. This report includes information on the Dale, Masters, Warthen, Brown, Boles and Gibbons families. I would appreciate any additional information or feedback. My great-grandmother Avo Dale (1881-1938) married George Washington Bilyeu (1873-1952) on December 5, 1900 in Overton County. I was told by older relatives that her parents were John Dale and Adaville “Addie” Boles and that John Dale had been “murdered about 1908.” All of the stories I have heard over the years have corroborated this and it is true that John Dale seems to have died between 1900-1910. Although death records were kept in 1908 (if that was indeed the year he died) they were kept only sporadically and no death certificate is on record for John Dale. According to the 1900 census he was born in January 1861, but I was unable to find him in the 1870 census. The first recorded appearance he seems to makes is in the marriage records of Clay County Marriage Book C 1876-1880, p. 154 (Clay Co., Tenn) 22 Jun 1878 DALE, JOHN BOWLES, ADVILL Then in the 1880 census he is found in the 3rd District of Overton County age 19 with wife Addaville age 19. [She, I now know, was the daughter of John Boles and Louisa (Williams?). He was the son of Alexander Boles, Sr. of Jackson Co.] There the matter stood for many years. John Dale has no gravestone, in fact the cemtery where he is buried—always known to me as the „Spicewood“ cemetery or the Dale cemetery at Spicewood Spring“—was not included in either edition of OVERTON COUNTY ROLL CALL. In fact when I referred this cemetery on this list or elsewher many people assumed I meant the ‚Spicer Cemetery“. Wheras the Spicer Cemetery is relevant to this research, it is not the same as the Spicewood Cemetery. (for more see the following link) http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnoverto/OCHS/cem/Dale.html I have been to both and they are very near to each other—both are Dale burying grounds. So in short no one seemed to have any information at all about my Dale lineage. But through my continued research I have found that John Dale was the son of William Dale of Hilham (c.1806-1866) and Jane Masters (1832?-1905) and that he had a full-brother James Anderson „Anse“ Dale (1859-1935) and a sister Mary Elizabeth Dale Cunningham (1864-1950), as well as a half-sister Lee Ann Warthen Gibbons (1854-1940) and half-brother Simeon Hinds Brown(1872-1949). James Anderson Dale I have seen referred to as „Andrew“, „Anse“ or „J.A.“ Dale. „Anse“ was the short form of „Anderson“ --the most famous example being Anderson „Devil Anse“ Hatfiled of feud fame. It stands in relation to Anderson the way ‚Ellick“ was often a diminutive for „Alexander.“ Many researchers have concluded that James Anderson „Anse“ Dale was the son of William Jackson Dale who died in 1863 at the Battle of Chickamauga and Leanna Butler . The 1860 Census of overton Co., district 4 has the following information: W. J. Dale 27 Leannah 21 William Thomas 5 Martha B. 3 James A. 9/12 My research tells me that this is NOT TRUE although I understand that by using census records and marriage records this might appear the case as all of the APPARENT early records for Anse Dale are found in Clay County. Like my John Dale, „Anse“ Dale is also apparently not found on the 1870 census and the first mention of him in public records is again like my John Dale in the marriage records of Clay County Marriage Book C 1876-1880, p. 176 30 Sep 1878 DALE, ANDREW LYNN, MARTHA {Note: this is the only record where I have seen the name „Andrew“ used for him. I have not seen the original record only a transcription, so it is possible the original records says ‚Anderson“ and not „Andrew“.] Anyway all researchers agree that Anse Dale was married to Martha Lynn the daughter of William Lynn and Susie Whitaker and secondly to Loucetta Overton. Overton County recorded deaths from 1925-1938. Those records transcribed by Vonnie Looper Munnerlyn state the following: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnoverto/docs/DEATHRECORDS19251938OVER.htm NAME OF DECEASED Anderson Dale AGE 76 COLOR/SEX w/m BORN TN DIED Livingston DIST 6 DATE 12-31-1935 CAUSE congestion of lungs James Anderson „Anse“ Dale died on December 31, 1935. The following obituary appeared in January 3, 1936 edition of the „Livingston Enterprise“ “Injuries Received in Fall From Barn Causes Death of Man” Funeral services for Ance J. Dale, 76, a farmer of the Sixth District of Overton County, who died at his home in north Livingston on Tuesday, December 31, at 4:00 A. M. of injuries received when he fell from his barnloft some ten day ago, were conducted on Wednesday afternoon at 1 o’clock, by the Reverned James T. Hooten at Cedar Hill, with burial in the Spicer Cemetery He had been twice married first to Miss Martha Lynn, who died thirty years ago. His second wife, Mrs. Lucetta Overeton Dale, survives. He is also survived by four sons, Barney, Hobson, Luther and Marvin Dale all of Overton County. This obit establishes both his marriages and his age and several sons and cause of death. From the Tennessee State Library and Archives I have obtained a copy of the death certificate #28361 Full Name: James Anderson Dale, married Husband of: Lousetta Dale Age: 76 yrs 6mos 25days (which would be June 6, 1859) Trade, profession: Farmer Birthplace: Tennssee Father: WILLIAM DALE, b. Tennessee Mother: JANE MASTERS, b. Tennessee Date of death: Dec 31, 1936 Cause of death: „Conjestion of lungs…He fell on Dec 16 cause of conjested lungs“ Burial: „Dale Cemetery“ Informant: „Lousettia“ Dale So this death certificate is without question for the „Ance“ Dale of the obit and gives his parents as William Dale and Jane Masters. This can be substantiated by the 1860 census: 1860, Overton Co. 3rd District, Hilham P.O.,p. 169a: family #1386 dwelling #1386 William Dale, age 53, farmer, $2,500, $4,500, TN Jane Dale, age 26 Anderson Dale, age 1 Leeann Worthen, age 6 The death certicificate coupled with 1860 census demolishes the claim that Anse Dale was the son of William Jackson Dale and Leanna Butler. The 1860 census and the DC seem to corroborate one another. Howevwer there is more evidence as I will outline chronologically beginning with William Dale (c. 1806-1866). WHO WAS WILLIAM DALE (b.c. 1806-1866) of HILHAM? Anyone who has undertaken Dale research in Overton County has probably run up against the fact that there were two William Dales of approximately the same age: William Dale of Hilham and William Dale of Sweet Gum Plains. The latter William Dale married Martha Hamilton Goodpasture and had a very large family whose property came to be, with the creation of Clay County in 1871, part of that county whereas before they were in the Overton County records. This family has been very extensivley researched and little or no attention at all (to my knowledge) has been paid to William Dale of Hilham as it was probably assumed that he had no children, which he did (3) but late in life. Also, though they were possibly related William Dale of Hilham seems to have always been seperate from the other Dale family. William Dale of Hilham first appears on the 1830 census where he is known as „William Dale, Jnr“: 1830 Overton Co., p.181 William Dale, Jnr. 1 male “of twenty and under thirty” 1 female “of twenty and under thirty” William Dale of Sweet Gum Plains his father William, Thomas Dale and John Dale are on page 179. There seemed to He is listed on the 1836 taxlist for Overton County in District #3 as being the owner of 100 acres. William Dale of Hilham was first married to Elizabeth Harp/Johnson as the following extract substantiates: Overton County Tennessee Circuit Court Minutes 1839-1844 transcribed and typed by Vonnie Looper Munnerlyn for the use of the Overton County Archives FEBRUARY TERM 1839 [document page 4] Isam Johnston this day produced here in open court his petition in the words following to wit State of Tennessee Overton County February Term of the Circuit Court of said county 1839 The honorable Circuit Court for said county now sitting Your Petitioner Isam Johnston of said county begs leave to represent to your honor that Elizabeth Harp now Elizabeth Dale of said county aged about thirty-five years was not born in wedlock that shortly after the birth of the said Elizabeth your petitioner intermarried with her mother Polly Harp with he has lived ever since that he believes the said Elizabeth to be his child that She is the only child he now has living and that she has intermarried with William Dale of said county. Your petitioner prays your honor to Legitimise the said Elizabeth allow her all the rits and privledges of a child born in wedlock Sworn in court 25th Feby 1839 Isam Johnston James Maxwell Clk And it appearing to the satisfaction of the court that the facts stated in said petition are true and fully sufficient The Court therefore ordered adjudges and decrees that the said Elizabeth Dale be adopted heir at law to the said Isam Johnston with all the rights and emoluments which appertain to a child born in lawful wedlock [p. 4] [Note: One researcher, Sherre Henke whose postings can be found various places on-line BELIEVES that Elizabeth Harp/Johnston Dale MAY HAVE BEEN the mother of Col Sam Davis. It is true that Sam Davis lived very near the Dales, but I don’t know what the claim is based on or if it has been substantiated] William Dale and Elizabeth appear on the 1840 census of Overton County: 1840 Overton Co., p. 28 William Dale 1 male 30 & under 40 (William , himself) 1 male 40 & under 50 1 female 10 & under 15 1 female 30 & under 40 (Elizabeth Harp/Johsnton Dale) 1 female 70 & under 80 2 male slaves under 10 1 female slave 10 & 24 (Note: The household had 8 members of whom 5 were engaged in agriculture. One member of the household was blind) And again in the 1850 Census: 1850 Overton Co., 3rd District, Hilham P.O. p. 108-09 family #566 Dwelling #566 William Dale, age 44 M Farmer , $1,000, TN Elizabeth Dale, age 46, NC Martha Grimes, age 19, TN 1 male slave, age 11 1 male slave, age 9 1 male slave, age 8 1 male slave, age 6 It does not appear to me that William Dale and Elizabeth Harp/Johnston ever had any children together, at least any who survived to adulthood. She in any event died before 1858. William Dale then married Jane Masters the daughter of James Masters and Elizabeth Thompson (more later) who seems to have been married before to a “Warthen” and had a daughter Lee Ann Warthen abt. 1854. In 1859 James Anderson Dale is born to William Dale and Jane (Masters) Warthen Dale: The 1860 census reflects this state of affairs: 1860, Overton Co. 3rd District, Hilham P.O.,p. 169a: family #1386 dwelling #1386 (household #1385 is that of Mary Johnson widow Isham) William Dale, age 53, farmer, $2,500, $4,500, TN Jane Dale, age 26 Anderson Dale, age 1 Leeann Worthen, age 6 George Miller, age 27, farm laborer 1 male slave, age 19 1 female slave, age 16 (just before Dale on the 1860 slave schedule is former mother-in-law Mary Johnson with 5 slaves ranging in ages from 9 to 40. The Dale slaves were probably the patrimony of Elizabeth Harp Johnson Dale and therefore related to the Johnson slaves) According to his Death Certificate James Anderson Dale was born on June 6, 1859. The date of the 1860 census for the Dale household was July 5, 1860 by which time he would have been just over one year of age. >From this point it gets rather confusing and if one relies solely on the census records the trail of these people seems lost, but luckily we have Court records of this period transcribed by Bobbie Murphy Farley in her Overton County Court Minutes 1867 to 1872. To give the fullest treatment I am including below ALL of the records pertaing to the estate of William Dale who died in 1866. However, I do have one document from 1866 which precedes the transcribed records. I found this more than 15 years ago in the basement of the Overton County Court House Annex where the archives is now located. At the time I found this document I did not know how it related to me genealogy, and now I wonder if the book from which I made this copy is missing. The copy is of only of part of the page, but what I have says: „Pertaining by Estimation 80 acres which in our opinion is one third in value of all said Wm Dales Decd land.

At the same time and place I offered for sale, what is known in said decree as the Masters tract, and G. W. Chrisitian he being the highest bidder also became the purchaser at the sum of $30.50 and paid down the amt of twenty five dollars cash, and executed [p. 446] his note for the remainder due in 12 months after date with Ardelia Staggs his security. And at the same time and place I also offered that tract known in said decree as the Waddle tract, but there being no bidders no sale was made. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. P. Chapin Which report being unaccepted to is in all things confirmed. It is therefore decreed by the court that the title of said tract of land purchase by G.W. Christian be divested out of the defendants and vested in said purchaser, subject however to a special lien for the purchase money. The Clerk also if said purchaser desires it will make him a deed with metes and bounds or describing the land particularly. It is further ordered by the court, as to the tract that was not sold, that the order of sale heretofore made, be received and that the Clerk after advertising according to law, again proceed to sell the same on the premises and that he require the sum of fifty dollars cash and take the purchasers note for the balance due in 12 months from date. The clerk will report to the next term of this court after sale. All other things are reserved until the coming in of said report. JANUARY TERM 1871 [p. 480] Jane Brown & etals Vs Petition to sell land &c Jane [sic] Dale & etals This cause came on again to be heard upon the report of the Clerk of this Court, which is as follows. Jane Brown & etals Vs Jane [sic] Dale & etals Pursuant to decretal order of this Court pronounced at the November Term in the above case. I exposed to public sale on the premises on the 15th day of De 1871 the tract of land therein mentioned as the Waddle tract. After having advertised the sale as directed by law and Thomas Brown being the highest bidder became the purchaser at the the sum of ($51.00) fifty-one dollars. The sum of $50 fifty dollars cash was paid down and for the remainder his note was executed with security due in twelve months all of which is most respectfully submitted to the Worshipful County Court for said county. W. P. Chapin, Clerk Which report being unexcepted to, is in all things confirmed. It is therefore decreed by the Court that the title to said tract of land be divested out of the Defendants and vested in Thomas Brown the purchaser. Subject however to a special lien for the remainder of the purchase money. It is further ordered that the costs of this suit be paid out of the first money collected. The Clerk will make a deed to the purchaser describing land particularly with meets and bounds [p. 481] If he desire it. It s further ordered that the clerk of this Court take proff and report to the next term of this court, what would be a reasonable compensation for Mrs. Brown for services as Adms. NOVEMBER TERM 1871 [p 596] Jane Brown, Admx Vs Mary Dale etals In this cause it appearing to the court that there yet remains in the hands of the Clk of this Court the sum of $24.80 twenty-four dollars and eighty, it belonging to the estate of Complainant in testate and the Administratrix is entitled to such amount for her service in that capacity. It is ordered that Clk pay said amount to her or her husband Thomas Brown on demand. Jane Brown, Administratrix &c Vs County Court November Term 1871 Mary Dale etals This cause coming to be further heard and it appearing to the Court that G. W. Christian, the purchaser of what is known in the pleadings as the Allred and Masters tracts has heretofore transferred and sold his bids to Thomas Brown and that said Brown has paid to the Clk of this Court the entire amount of all costs. It is therefore ordered by the Court hat whatever title may have existed in the Defendant or in G. W. Chrisitian the former purchaser be divested out of them and vested in Thomas Brown and if desired the Clk of this Court will make a deed accordingly. The said Thomas Brown paying for the expense of the same. >From these records I conclude the following: 1) William Dale died in or before 1866 2) Jane Dale his widow was named the adminstratrix of the estate, but before it was settled she remarried to Thomas Brown between April 1867-September 1870 3) William Dale and Jane Masters had three children: Anderson, John, and Mary. In the past if a child‘s father died he/she was considered an orphan EVEN IF the mother were still living. 4) The property was sold and eventually all of it was bought by Thomas Brown the husband of Jane Masters Dale. 5) Whether or not it was connected to his marriage with Jane, William Dale had land known as the „Masters Tract“ As I stated at the beginning the 1870 census was a particularly problematic in my research as I could not find my Dales anywhere, but with the help of these records I have solved that problem. For the following again substantiates the court record and shows that census records are not always accurate. 1870, Overton Co., 3rd District Hilham P.O. p. 284 dwelling # 160 Family#161 Thomas Debords age 50, Framer $180 $250 Samuel Debords, age 29 Mandy Debords, age 16 Thomas Brown, age 48, Farmer $130 $400, KY (same household as above) Jane Brown, age 35 Lee Ann “Brown”, age 14 Anderson “Brown”, age 12, Farm Hand John “Brown”, age 9 Mary “Brown”, age 6 Jane, Lee Ann, and Anderson clearly link to the 1860 census for William Dale (as shown above) and the court records supply the additional names of John and Mary. So My great-great grandfather John Dale was not locatable on the 1870 census because he was listed under the name of his step-father: Brown. According to the above Court Records William Dale’s land was sold to G. W. Chrisitian who sold it to Thomas Brown. The next household #161 in the 1870 census is that of „George Christian“. I do not know at this time how or if the DeBords were related. In 1878 both Anderson (Anse/Andrew) and John Dale married in Clay County Tennessee. Anse to Martha Lynn and John to Adaville Boles (citation above). Anse remained in Clay Co. for a time and is found there on the 1880 census: 1880, Clay Co., 7th District A.J. Dale, age 21 (consistent with 1859 birthdate) Martha, age 19 W.A. Dale 6/12 or 8/12 (copy is hard to read) However, John Dale is found on the 1880 Census in Overton County right next door to his step-father „Thomas J. Brown“ and mother Jane (Masters) Warthen Dale Brown: 1880, Overton Co., 3rd Dist. Hilham P.O p.266C Dwelling #20 Family #20 John DALE age 19 TN Farmer Adaville DALE, Wife, age 19 TN Keeping House Dwelling #21 Family#21 Thomas J. BROWN, age 58 KY Farmer N. C. N. C. Jane BROWN, Wife, age 47 TN Simon BROWN, Son, age 8 TN Mary J. DALE SDau age 17 TN This data from the Overton Co. census is consistent with findings. We find that Mary Dale is restored to her true last name and listed as step-daughterr to Thomas Brown. We also see that Thomas Brown and Jane Masters had a son „Simon“ who was actually „Simeon Hinds Brown“ born on May 7, 1872 according to his gravestone at the SPICER Cemetery. Thomas J. Brown died on March 17, 1887 and is buried at Old Union Cemetery. He was according to all information I have found and been told a Confederate veteran. On March 11, 1894 Simeon Brown married Easter Louisa Burks. Mary Dale married a Cunningham. and Lee Ann Warthen married a Gibbons, but I cannot find them on the 1880 census. With the above information it is then possible tounderstand the 1900 census, for this census shows that Anse Dale moved away from Clay Co and right next to his mother and siblings. Here is the 1900 census transcribed exactly as it is laid out: 1900, Overton Co., Dist. 3., p. 214-215 (this is a straight list as in census, one house after the other) Dwelling # 146 Family #146 John Dale, b.

Feb, 1886, age 12 (not sure abt the math but that’s what it says) Winton Gibbons, son, b. Feb 1890, age 10 Dorotha Gibbons, daughter, b. Mar 1896, age 6 Dwelling #150 Family #150 Anse Dale, b. May 1861, age 39, married 25 yrs, Farmer Martha Dale, wife, b. Sept. 1863, age 36, md 20 years, mother of 5, 5 living Nathan Dale, son, b. Jan 1885, age 15 Rollie Dale, son, b. Jan 1887, age 13 Alice Dale, daughter, b. May 1891, age 9 Luther Dale, son, b. Sep 1893, age 6 Hobson Dale, son, b. Feb 1899, age 1 William Carter, servant, b Mar 1882, age 18 Census says that Jane (Masters) Warthen Dale Brown is the mother of 5 children: (1) Lee Ann Warthen Gibbons, (2) James Anderson Dale, (3) John Dale, (4) Mary Dale Cunningham, (5) Simeon Hinds Brown. Who Was Jane Masters? Despite being generally a very common name, “Jane” was not a common name in the Masters family. The only “Jane Masters” that I can find via census records and other sources was the daughter of James Masters and Elizabeth Thompson. James Masters died before 1836 and Elizabeth Thompson Masters never remarried. Looking through the MASTERS FAMILY HISTORY 1691-1989 (c. 1989) compiled by Jack Masters I again find the only “Jane Masters” (BY BIRTH) to be the daughter of James Masters and Elizabeth Thompson. On page 78 of that book the following information is given for this Jane Masters: #193 Jane Masters . Born Jan 1836. Died 12 April 1911, in Overton Co., TN BUT, on page 106 of the same book about Simeon Masters son of Davis Masters it is written: He married Mary Jane McGee, daughter of George Washington McGee and Nancy Murphee, 2 Sep 1852, in Overton Co., TN. Born 30 Dec 1836, in Overton Co, TN. Died, 12 April 1911, in Overton Co., TN. Burial in Poplar Springs Cem., Overton Co. Therefore according to the MASTERS FAMILY HISTORY two persons named “Jane Masters” died on 12 April 1911 in Overton Co., TN, BUT the decedent of 12 April 1911 was a married woman. This is substantiated by the following obit in the “Putnam County Herald” which refers to her as “Mrs”; MASTERS, JANE: Mrs. Jane Masters died Tuesday night. The bereaved ones have our deepest sympathy. [Date 4/27/1911, Vol. IX, No. 17, Page 2] And death certificate for “Jane Masters” #67885: Name of Deceased: Jane Masters Date of Death: April 12, 1911 Sex: Female Color: White Age: Seventy-five years 3 months Married or single: MARRIED Place of Death: Sec. District Overton Cause of Death: Liver and Kidney trouble Place of Birth: Overton Co., Tenn Occupation: Domestic Date Recorded: Aug 15, 1911, R.L. Mitchell Jr. The Jane Masters who died on April 12, 1911 was the wife of Simeon Masters not the maiden daughter of James Masters. The above death certificate also says she was living in District 2 of Overton Co., The 1910 Census of Overton Co., Tennessee shows that Jane Masters wife of Simeon Masters was living with son Thomas C. Masters in the 2nd Dist of Overton Co. ( Page: 9B; Enumeration District: 59; Image: 38.) Jane Masters the daughter of James Masters and Elizabeth Thompson is enumerated in the 1850 census in the household of her mother: 1850, Overton Co., District 3; pp 112-13 Dwelling #625, Family # 625 Elizabeth Masters, age 50 Charlotte Masters, age 25 Mary Masters, age 21 Samuel Masters, age 18 JANE MASTERS, age 16 Polina Masters, age 14 Elizabeth Masters, age 12 Significantly two houses away in Dwelling #627 and Family #627 is: J. C. Warthen, age 25, Farmer Elizabeth, age 29 Calvin, age 2 Margaret, age 6/12 John Wallace, age 13 This is the only Warthen/Worthen Family I can find on the 1850 Overton Co., census. Also, NONE of these people is enumerated on the 1860 census of Overton Co (or anywhere else that I can find) So the 1860 Census for William Dale whose wife was “Jane Masters” (according to the Death Certificates of two of her children James Anderson Dale and Mary Dale Cunningham) we find: 1860, Overton Co. 3rd District, Hilham P.O.,p. 169a: family #1386 dwelling #1386 (household #1385 is that of Mary Johnson widow Isham) William Dale, age 53, farmer, $2,500, $4,500, TN Jane Dale, age 26 Anderson Dale, age 1 Leeann Worthen, age 6 This Jane Masters is age 26 exactly 10 years older than Jane Masters of the 1850 census. She also has had a daughter by the name “Lee Ann Worthen” suggesting that she may have married the neighbor of the 1850 census or his relative. That 1860 census for Elizabeth Masters does not show “Jane” as a member of the household so she must have married or died by that time. Jane Masters who married William Dale named her daughter by him “Mary Elizabeth” and her son by Thomas Brown “Simeon Hinds Brown”. Mary E. Masters daughter of James Masters and Elizabeth Thompson married Dr. Simeon Hinds. They also had a son with the unusual first name of “Zina” the only other instance of this name I can find is “Zina Dale” the grandson of Jane Masters Warthen Dale Brown. I have not yet got the Death Certificates for Lee Ann Worthen Gibbons or Simeon Hinds Brown, but I expect they will substantiate that their mother was Jane Masters. The 1900 census for “Simeon Brown” shows that Jane Brown was his mother, and I have outlined above how that was the same Jane who had been married to Wiliam Dale. So pending future research I wish to state that I believe that Jane Masters daughter of James Masters and Elizabeth Thompson was married three times and had children by all three husbands as follows: Jane Masters married firstly, FNU Warthen (possibly James C. Warthen) their child: (1) Lee Ann Warthen who married FNU Gibbons Jane Masters married secondly, William Dale of Hilham, their children: (2) James Anderson Dale (1859-1935) md. (1) Martha Lynn (2) Loucetta Overton (3) John Dale (1861-c. 1908) md Addaville Boles (4) Mary Elizabeth Dale (1864-1950) md. Francis Barnett Cunningham Jane Masters married thirdly, Thomas J. Brown their child: (5) Simeon Hinds Brown (1872-1949) who married Easter Louisa Burks I would like to thank anyone who has read to this point. I am sorry that this report had to be so long but there is a lot of confusion concerning this family, and I know of no place where the above information has been drawn together, or the same conclusions arrived at. I would appreciate any additional comments or information about any of the people in this report. Thank you, James M.

Hi James, I come from the Christian/Fisk family. I gotta admit I kinda skimmed thru your email. The name Dale caught my eye though. Doe's it have anything to do w/Dale Hollow Lake?

Rex, perhaps you can help me a bit. I am hoping someday to locate the will of Joseph Bates of Overton County, TN. He was in Overton County by 1809, as noted below. Judge Goodpasture wrote his will and later defended it in the TN supreme court. Joseph Bates died in Overton County, TN, living in Bates Cove/2 miles east of Livingston, on April 2, 1849. I don't know when his will was contested or by whom. I don't know if you've ever done research of supreme court records or not, but perhaps you know how I might find a copy of the will. A brief biography of Joseph Bates is provided below. Best regards, Jerry Brooks The Life of Joseph Bates Joseph Bates married Mary King Gentry January 8, 1798 in Washington County, Virginia at the age of 20. They moved to Cumberland County, Kentucky shortly after their marriage. He was among the earliest settlers in Overton County, Tennessee, and it is known that he was in Overton County, Tennessee when the county was formed in 1806 because he was a trustee of Pleasant Forest Academy there, which was the third school established by the Acts of 1806. (From History of Overton County, Tennessee by Robert and Mary Eldridge, 1976) Valuable insight into the life of Joseph Bates is provided in the book, LIFE OF JEFFERSON DILLARD GOODPASTURE, written by his sons and published 1897 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Page 46-47;53-43): "JOSEPH BATES - Among the first business entrusted to Judge Goodpasture after he came to the bar, was his employment to write the will of Joseph Bates (1777-1849), who lived in Bates' Cove, near Monroe, on the Livingston road. He was a man of strong intellect, of fair education and well posted on current events. In religion he was a Cumberland Presbyterian, and in politics a Democrat. He was a prosperous man of good, sound judgment; proud of Bates' Cove, on which he built one of the first, if not the very first, brick house in the county. He owned many negroes, whom he treated well, but made profitable. He was the father of the late Rev. Thos. F. Bates, and a cousin of Mrs. Harvey M. Watterson, the mother of Henry Watterson (Editor of the Louisville Courier Journal), and of Rev. Joseph H. Bates, who married a sister of Judge Goodpasture. Mr. Bates died in April, 1849, while Judge Goodpasture was at Lebanon, and he was called home to prove the will, which he had witnessed as well as written. Afterwards the will was contested and he defended it through all the courts, and at last had the pleasure of seeing it sustained in the Supreme Court."
