I am looking to find some further information about a George Goodman who died in Jefferson, Rutherford Co and the sale of his estate was recorded in the Rutherford Co record books of the October Term 1817. I am specifically interested in finding out his relationship to the following Ferguson men who are listed as having been at the sale: Douglas, Shadrack, and Owen. Could George have been a father-in-law/brother-in-law/uncle to these men? I have traced my Ferguson line back to Toliver Ferguson of Rutherford Co and are presently pursuing the theory that he connects to Douglas and/or Shadrack Ferguson of Rutherford Co. Thanks for any help you can give me. Sherri Genealogists never die, they just lose their census!
That may be the Benevolent Cemetery. It's on our site. Let me look. There is the Miller Cemetery. I used to live right behind it. Ken and I would go over and weed eat it during warm weather and put flowers at the graves on holidays. It was so pretty with the red and green. Ok, go down below this /msg and see the Cem. I think this is the one you want. Mari Byers Tennessee State Coordinator TNGenWeb/TNGenNet, Inc. Rutherford County, Tennessee - Benevolent Cemetery Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by Jim Walker - J-Walker@worldnet.att.net From RUTHERFORD TODAY 1100 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203 fax # 259-8093 By Trine Tsouderos, Rutherford Today Murfreesboro - A person could pick his way through the scrubby field off Highway 231 and never know he was stepping on and over the remains of 320 souls. Johnson grass and other weeds obscure the stones marking hundreds of graves, mostly of African-Americans, in the Benevolent Cemetery. Pushing aside the weeds, the names on some of the stones are difficult to read. Some date back 100 years to when the cemetery was new and its owners, the members of the Benevolent Lodge No. 11, were many and strong. The Benevolent Lodge was an African-American club in Murfreesboro made up of members who agreed to care for one another in illness and in mourning. Part of the lodge's legacy - the club itself is defunct - is its cemetery, which was deeded over to Allen Chapel AME Church by one of the lodge's oldest living members, Mary Goodman. The Rev. Melvin E. Hughes of Allen Chapel said his congregation periodically received checks from local funeral homes because they had buried someone in the Benevolent Cemetery. That helped pay for the upkeep, Hughes said. But a few years ago, funeral homes stopped burying people in the cemetery, and the checks stopped coming. Since then, the weeds have grown tall, the graves have become obscured, and it has become easy to dismiss the cemetery as a field of weeds. Hughes bemoans the state of the cemetery. The church is in the midst of a major building program and simply does not have the money to keep up the cemetery. Donations or some kind of grant money is needed, he said. "At least to insure it and keep it up," Hughes said. He estimates it would take about $50,000 to insure the cemetery and maybe put a fence up. Several people have made offers to buy the cemetery land for business uses, which lies in a well-placed spot right off Highway 231. So far, the church has turned them down. But Hughes said he has contacted some local franchises about buying the cemetery. One half of it is still available for burial, Hughes said. So far, there has been little interest in using the cemetery for future burials, Hughes said. Hughes said he hopes interest in the cemetery's history and importance to the county's African-American community will spark donations to help pay for its upkeep. Or perhaps people will start researching who is in the cemetery. If some kind of historical significance can be attached to it, the church may be able to obtain some kind of grant, he said. For instance, several people buried in the Benevolence Cemetery apparently served in the Spanish-American War, in which the United States joined Cuban rebels in the island's fight for independence from Spain in 1898. For more information about the Benevolence Cemetery, call Allen Chapel AME Church, 893-7842. The following names were taken off the tombstones in Benevolent Cemetery in Murfreesboro and published in A History of Rutherford County's African-American Community by the Rev. Melvin E. Hughes Sr. Some of the information is incomplete because of deterioration of the grave markers.

The only two spellings I have seen are Toliver or T Oliver (1823 Rutherford Co petition). I have often thought this name must be a variation of the surname Talliferro (sp) but have not come across any definite proof.

Re: Toliver Ferguson of Rutherford Co, TN--theories about father (Mari Byers) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2006 21:55:54 -0500 From: "my tngenes" <mytngenes@hotmail.com> Subject: [TNRUTHER] Toliver Ferguson of Rutherford Co, TN--theories about father To: FERGUSON-L@rootsweb.com, lynnferguson@cox.net, J2Ferguson@aol.com, runner@wtez.net, ssellers@texas.net, TNRUTHER-L@rootsweb.com, annlin@ev1.net Message-ID: <BAY103-F15730783E4D2874FCC8F3BB1A0@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Using the 1820 and 1830 census for Rutherford Co, TN, I have formed the following theories concerning the possibilities for the father of my earliest known ancestor, Toliver Ferguson-b abt 1800 TN. Beginning with the facts known about Toliver-he was born abt 1800 in TN and married Catherine Winters in Rutherford Co, TN in 1821, and he is found on the 1823 petition of moving the Rutherford/Bedford county line. Toliver has a son and grandson named Anderson. Ferguson families found on the 1820 Rutherford Co, TN having male numerations in their h/h whose ages would "match" Toliver are Joel and Shadrack. Both also have a male listed in the category consistant with the possibility of Anderson Ferguson, b 1805 TN being the younger brother of Toliver. The h/h of Joel--two males b 1810-1820, one male b 1804-1810, (Anderson?) one male b 1802-1804, one male b 1794-1802, (Toliver?) one male born 1785-1794, one male born before 1785 (Joel) These older males could be father and grandfather of the younger males, or brother and father of the younger males. The h/h of Shadrack--one male b 1810-1820 one male b 1804-1810 (Anderson?) one male b 1802-1804 two males b 1794-1802 (Toliver?) one male b 1785-1794 (Shadrack) Looking at the 1830 census for Anderson Ferguson of Rutherford Co, TN listed are males consistant with Anderson b 1805, Toliver b 1800, and Toliver's son Mansfield b 1823 (and a female consistent with Catherine, Toliver's wife). Also is a male b 1780-1790 (their father?). Therefore, my first senario is that Joel Ferguson's h/h of 1820 could numerate a grandfather (Joel), father (?), son Toliver and son Anderson (as well as 3 other males). This same h/h listed in 1830 with Anderson Ferguson as the head of household with older brother Toliver and father (?) from the 1820 numeration--grandfather Joel having died. Second senario is that Shadrack Ferguson's h/h of 1820 would include son Toliver, son Anderson, 3 other males and father Shadrack and this same h/h listed in 1830 would include Anderson as the head of household with Toliver, son Mansfield and father Shadrack. The conclusions being that Joel Ferguson could be the father/grandfather of Toliver and Anderson or Shadrack could be their father. As for the relationship of Joel an Shadrack--are they brothers or father and son? I am interested in your comments..........

Diane, The Slave Schedules list the slave owner and his or her slaves by sex and age. In most cases, no names are listed,however, I encountered one census in Bowie County, Texas, 1850, I think, the names of the slaves was also recorded. If your ancestor was a slave owner, these schedules will definately tell you something about him or her. If your ancestor was a slave, you might or might not be able to identify him or her from the census. Marleen Van Horne
Ok, someone out there, please tell me if this is a census of slave owner onlys?? Thanks, Diane 1850 & 1860 Rutherford Co, TN Federal Census (Slave Schedule) There is a total 322 pages of personal information on the inhabitants of this county in 1850 & 1860. You will find this information absolutely necessary to researching your family's genealogy.
