Looking for any information relating to the ancestors, or descendents of: Lovett Reed m. Sibby, or Sibba They were married at the edge of Guilford and Caswell counties in North Carolina, then migrated to East Tennessee. Their children were: George b. 3-16-1781 Nancy b. 6-13-1784 James b. 10-5-1787 Margaret b. 7-4-1789 Henry b. 9-5-1792 m. Susannah Godsey Polly b. ? Sibba b. 7-4-1797 m. Solomon Godsey My information has the family migrating to what is now East TN, in the area of Roane County, and subsequently in Bledsoe county. Many of the descendents of Henry, their son, are still living in the Grandview, TN area of Rhea and Cumberland Counties. I would appreciate any information for any of these Reeds, and their respective descendents. Am also trying to trace the ancestors for Lovett and Sibba. Thank you for any help.

The posts linking OLIVER and WATKINS lines caught my attention. I am not related to any Olivers that I am aware of, but I am researching a Watkins line in which the name Oliver is commonly used. I have always wondered if maybe my ggggrandmother, Feraby Watkins, was an Oliver before she married. All I know about her is that she was born in Tennessee, possibly Monroe County, about 1830. She had a son that she named Henry Oliver and he had a son named Thomas Oliver. Just a thought. . . Susan Kendall [email protected]

Sandra, I have one group sheet written on Oliver's. I have no connection to the Olivers. I just remember having this information. I believe that I took this information from the Ancestral File at the Family History Center about 5 years ago. The only reason that I have it is because I'm trying to make a connection to the Milly Boyd who married Lunsford Oliver in Anderson Co., TN. There is a Richard who is son of Douglas. Hope this will help you. Douglas Oliver b. 24 Feb 1753 in Caroline Co., VA + married Milly Carnelle 20 Mar 1783 in Caswell Co., NC. 1. Charles Y. Oliver b. 22 Dec 1783 in NC 2.

My great-grandmother was Mary Angel who was married first to a Mr. Oliver, then to my gr-gr-grandfather, Daniel Taylor. in Franklin Co, TN. Her parents were Wash(ington) Angel and Mary Riley. Mary Riley and her father, Looney Riley are both listed in Roane county, but I can't find a direct connection. Looney's father, Samuel, supposedly had something to do with the formation of Roane county. I was hoping to find some Olivers to check on.

>From Karla Shahan to All: The very best of the holidays from our house to yours! ********* From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1999 08:06:20 EST Subject: The Day Before Yesterday Twas The Day Before Yesterday TWAS the day before yesterday and all through the branches, NOT a name to be found, none of my ancestors. THE Journals and Bibles were dusty and worn, WHY should we care, these kinfolk are gone. THE pictures of children and family, long ago dead, ARE scattered, crinkled, and crammed under beds. DAD in his chair, and I with a book, HAD just settled back to give the TV a look. WHEN out on the street there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. ON the way to the window I tripped with a crash, I tore open the curtains and looked through the glass. THE sun in the sky was nowhere in sight, THE clouds were so gray, it could have been night. WHEN what to my wondering eyes should appear, THE Mailman with packages, letters and cards of good cheer. THE driver was grumbling while sorting his letters, I knew in a moment, things had to get better. THE size of one letter stood out from them all, A distant cousin was asking about family, one and all. THE names of Grandpa and Grandma, Great Grandparents all, NEXT came my Father, my Brother, and Uncle Paul. FROM cousins and uncles to aunts and nephews, NIECES and in-laws, just to name a few. SO through the many journals and photos, and stuff I possessed, MY search for my ancestors slowly progressed. WHILE up the family tree I gradually climbed, MY ancestors names, I was seeking to find. UPON that tree I have carved many a name, THE branches of which, will never be the same. THE tree is now filled with many I've found, BUT in the search for others, now I am bound. THE ancestors whose names, I have written with love, THE Lord has gathered to take to His Father above. WITH so many names yet to be carved on that tree, I have little time to waste on games and TV. GATHERING names, photos, histories and places, REQUIRES a lot of love, patience, and God's good graces. SOME were Farmers, Soldiers and such, Mothers and Fathers who struggled much. SOME were Settlers, who traveled far, some Adventures, who followed the stars. SOME were rich but most were poor, they came by ship, seeking more. SOME died young, others old, many their stories yet untold. I cried when I thought of those brothers and sisters, FOR I am who I am, thanks to my ancestors. MY family is but one branch on the Tree of Life, A tree that grew strong through toil and strife. ALONE, I'm just a bare twig or a stub, TOGETHER we build a Family Tree of Love (Written by Linnie Vanderford Poyneer one night after a long day of research) >> ==== SHAWHAN Mailing List ==== Announcing: SHAWHAN-SHAWN-SHAHAN FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLETTER is published quarterly by Eric Shawn, 4400 SE View Acres Rd, Oak Grove, Oregon, 97267.

Johnson July 20, 1860 May 24, 1934 At Rest Research He was named on his burial marker; in his death record; in his obituary; in obituary notice of Charles Parker Johnson; on the burial marker of Ida Pearl Johnson; on the burial marker of Sara Jane Anderson on the burial marker of Dempsie Tennessee Clark; in the funeral record of Robert Henry Johnson; in the death record of James Harris Johnson (as J.B. Johnson); in the obituary of Rosa Ellen Ayers; in the death record of Murray California Johnson; in the death record of Pompie Franklin Johnson; in the death record of Charles Parker Johnson (as James P. Johnson); in the funeral record of Timmy Toy Johnson; in the court action of Elsie Jane Johnson vs. Murray California Johnson; in the decree of Elsie Jane Johnson vs. Murray California Johnson; in the obituary of Charles Parker Johnson Senior; in the death record of Elsie Jane Johnson; in the birth record of Elsie Jane Johnson; His original home place on the AR/OK line was a two story wood frame house with two rooms upstairs and four rooms downstairs. A porch stretched across the front facing west and another across the back. The second home in Chapel Hill, AR had a breezeway. The old home site faced the OK line which was about ten yards from the front door. Beyond this point was the frontier. Dangers were numerous and abounded especially from the indians. He was described as a stern, respected (even feared) individual, who was capable of violence. Although he was authoritative and fearless, he had a sense of humor and was community minded. It was reported that he once killed an indian in a dispute over a milk cow and that he killed another individual who was crossing his property. After he buried this person, he confiscated the dead man's horse, saddle, bridle and spurs. Pompie Franklin Johnson had the spurs; but they were lost eventually. He donated land and building materials to construct the Westline School. His father's name on his death certificate is Robert Johnson; his mother's name is not given. His place of birth is given as Missouri on the death record of Charles Parker Johnson; although the preponderence of evidence suggests Tennessee.

On the 1869 Roane County Tax List for 15th district. Does anyone know who Jasper Vann is? I'm trying to locate the parents of A E J Vann's parents. His first name is Andrew. Could his other given names be J = Jasperr or Jackson and E = Edward or Edmund? On the 1870 census record it is A J Vann. Can someone help me Wa

Juanita, I would suspect that it could have been spelled as COFFEE. They certainly slaughtered most of the names back then. I don't recognize the name Meredith. I think my bunch were in Roane Co. and prior to that from NC. I haven't done much on my research lately - too much holiday preparation, I think. I'll keep your mail and holler at you after Christmas. Thanks much for the response.
