I'm researching the Hale family. My research show that my GGG Grandfather was named Nathan Hale b.1757. He was the son of Nicholas Hale and Ruth Acres. I would like to contact anyone who is researching this line of Hale family. I have that my GG Grandfather was Alfred Hale. Alfred came to Southern Illinois around 1847. He came with wife Jane ?? and son James O. Hale, dau Louvano Prudence Hale. I'm looking for proof of the parents of Alfred Hale . b/ 1815 d. 1890 in Union County, Illinois. I have found Alfred in 1840 in Warren County, TN. I have yet to find him tied to Nathan. Any help would be very much appreciated. Ernest Hale

This story came from the Chattanooga Free Press,Sept.14,1933. NO BOND FOR MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER. Floyd Johnson of La Follette Must Explain Actions On Night of Fire Which Destroyed Family. While Sheriff Baxter Swicegood of Cumberland County continues his investigation into the alleged wholesale murders in and around the Winesap Community,situated 18 miles southwest of Crossville,public interest throughout the state is focused on La Follette,the county seatof Campbell County,in upper Tennessee.Here on the night of Sept.1, one of the most tragic events in the criminal history of the state is alleged to have taken pace. At this time Floyd Johnson,a resident of La Follette,is in the Knox county jail at Knoxville,being held without bond on a charge of murder- the murder of his wife and three small children.He was removed to Knoxville for safe keeping shortly after being given a hearing before magistrates Friday afternoon of last week.The charges of first degree murder grew out of the burning of the Johnson home shortly after 2 o'clock on the morning of Sept.1. Mrs.Johnson and her three small children perishing in the flames.According to testimony offered at the preliminary hearing,neighbors heard screams like that of a woman, followed shortly by an explosion. Shortly afterward,Johnson dashed out of the house,nude.He went to the home of Jeff Hatmaker and informed him of the fire.Hatmaker gave Johnson his overalls and then went back into the house to dress.In the meantime,Johnson went to a nearby filling station,broke in and called the fire department.Returning to the scene of the fire,Johnson is said to have removed furniture from the front porch and then went back to the rear porch where a washing machine was pulled to a point of safety.When neighbors arrived on the scene and were informed of the fact that Mrs.Johnson and the three children were trapped in the living room,Jeff Hatmaker testified that he went to the window,lifted a shade and made a hasty survey of the room,failing to discover the victims.At that time, according to the witness testimony, fire was just breaking into the room and anyone trapped in that part of the building could have been rescued with ease.He estimated that this investigation was made a least eight minutes after Johnson had made the alarm. BODIES PILED TOGETHER. Search of the ruins revealed the body of Mrs. Johnson and her three children piled in the corner of the room.Unburned bed clothing indicated that the clothing had been piled over the bodies.Officials charge that positions of the bodies when found indicated that there was no struggle of suffocation.For instance, Mrs.Johnson was lying on her face with arms outstretched,the bodies of her three children being piled in unusual positions.They also charge that there was evidence of much ????? on the clothing under Mrs. Johnson. Those pushing the prosecution have charged that Johnson went to La Follette a few days before the tragedy and took out insurance on the three children,but that a special clause prevents him from collecting.The policy would not have gone into effect until Sept.4 three days after the tragedy. The house and furniture were all insured for $1,000. It is also said that a hive of bees had been placed on the cistern in the back yard preventing the use of water from this source to fight the fire. WANTED TO BE FREE. Witnesses were also introduced to show that Johnson had only a few days prior to the fire,expressed the desire to be free again. This coupled with the fact that he was known to have been attentive to a woman in that community,and that the woman in question has expressed her intentions of going into court with the truth,indicates that the trial will be a sensation from start to finish.Presence of a five gallon can found in the smoke ???? in which gasoline had been kept, has to be explained,together with many other mysterious angles connected with the case,the officers insist. Johnson explained that he heard Mrs. Johnson shouting for help when awakened by the flames,and that he also recalls having seen one of the babies crawl off the bed.He explained however, that he did not have time to save his wife or any of his children.Mrs.Johnson was ill at the time having been confined to her bed for several weeks.

Hi, My name is Conniesue and I am new to the Macon County, North Carolina List I am trying to search my Oneal line of which I know virtually nothing of. I do know that my father's patrnal grandmother was LAURA MORGAN ONEAL. She was born in Cowee Township, Macon County, North Carolina in 1860. She lived with her step-father Gilbert Hughes until 1874. She married DAVID ONEAL in 1974 in Loudon County, Tennessee. They had these children: Laura L. Minnie and/or Lizzie William Price or William E.P.(My grandfaher) There is a possibility that they had these children, but it was under the spelling ONEILL that they were found: Maggie James W. David F. David dropped offf the fact of the earth after the marriage. Laura is on the Guion-Miller Roll under Laura Oneal ( which is strange because if a woman is Native Americnan sheusually goes by her maiden name. There is defintely Cherokee in my heritage just not sure what side. I guess she may have used David's name for the children.

This is from the book Goodspeed Histoy of East Tennessee published by Charles and Randy Elder,a reprint from 1887. James Howard Hood-While the Indians were yet the only inhabitants of the territory of Ocoee,a family left North Carolina and located in the valley at the base of the Chilhowee Mountains,about four miles south of the Savannah ( now Polk county). The head of this family, Robert Hood, was of Irish descent and the first white settler south of the Hiwassee River.His fifth son,Alexander Isaiah Hood,a cripple from birth,on account of his physical condition,received the best educational advantages that those early pioneer days afforded.Before his majority he became a successful Indian trader and located at Benton about 1840. At this place in 1851 he wedded Martha Ann, daughter of William H.HIGGINS, one of the early settlers and wealthy farmers of Polk County. To this union was born Nov.25,1853, the subject of this sketch,who is the eldest child. When he was quite young his parents purchased and moved to the farm three miles south of Benton on the old Kentucky stock road where he attended the country schools in the fall and winter.He advanced so rapidly in his studies that he passed examination and became a public school teacher at the age of seventeen.He taught and attended school at intervals until 1873, when he entered college at Atlanta,Ga., graduating in 1874 at the age of 21. The following five years were spent in Texas and the Indian Territory as a teacher.In 1879 he returned to Polk county where he again taught school. December 23,1880,he married Miss Alice,third daughter of James and Mary HUGHES. To this union was born March 28,1882, LILY ETHEL, the only child.In 1883 Mr.Hood founded the POLK COUNTY NEWS,at Benton.After a year of successful management,he disposed of his interest in the paper and became operator and agent on the East Tennessee,Virginia and Georgia Railroad.He afterward founded the MCMINN CITIZEN,at Athens,of which he is now editor and manager.

"Hello again Cousins!" Am hoping to make contact with someone in Maury Co., TN, who might be able and willing to check out the following for me: Have come across a marriage record for Ally HARDISON to Flemming NEWCUM dated 16 July 1836, Maury Co., TN, in _Early TN Marriages_, and am now wondering if this might be a misprint? Have been able to locate this family in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Maury Co., TN censuses, and it would appear that Ally was born somewhere between about 1825 and 1830, making her only eleven years old if the earlier date for her birth is considered, and only six if considering the latter, so have come to wonder if the published marriage year might be in error. Thank you for any and all help and assistance in resolving this apparent inconsistency! TTYL Craig
