Dear Members of the TNRHEA Mailing List I am a new member of your group and would like to post my first inquiry. My mother was Hazel Stanley, born 1910 in Dayton, TN. She died suddenly in 1967 before I had a chance to find out more about her genealogy. She would have been 15 years old at the time of the Scopes trial, but I'm not sure that she was in any of his classes. Her parents were: John B. STANLEY, b: 1878; d: Feb. 13, 1955 Belle H. STANLEY, b: 1870; d: May 17, 1957; Widow of J. B. Stanley Belle H. STANLEY: The death record of my grandmother (Belle) appears to be her nickname, she was known as that all her life. Her proper given name is Mary Isabelle. Her maiden name was COKE. I believe that she was married before marrying my grandfather and her first married surname was HOOD. An IGI record in FamilySearch.com shows a Mary Isabelle COKE, b. Abt 1870, Rhea Co. Her father was listed as Jim or James COKE and her mother was Margaret Rebecca EMERY or EMORY. There was no additional information about her parents lineage. John B. STANLEY: My grandfather (John B) was a farmer and lived on Blythe Ferry Road, Dayton, TN. I have verified that he was born in 1878 and his death date is accurate. I was not able to find any information in FamilySearch about his parents. However, Edna Clack did a search for me and found that there was a Stanley family living in Rhea Co. in the 1900 census. This is what she found: There was one John Stanley, b. June 1878, in the household of Mary Stanley born May 1844, widow, she had 4 children, 3 still living - in the 1900 Census of Rhea County. The only marriage she found for John Stanley is to Edna Secton Sept 21, 1900. The other family members in that 1900 Census were Stanton 19, Susan 17, and William C FRALEY 39. If anyone has any information about any of the people on this list, I would appreciate hearing from you. Yours truly, Paul Stanley Puente Basel, Switzerland Email: paulpuente@balcab.ch
