As Barbee suggested, "Ellis girls" and "Ellis bunch" could possibly be "ours". My father-in-law always said he grew up in Big Rock. He was the youngest of Grover Ellis' 4 children----two boys/two girls. The children were: Opal Clarice (1912) m. Monroe Atkins Lester Hardy (1916-1992), m (1) Cornelia Francis Byrd (2) Virginia Eleazer Gladys Thelma (1921) m. (1) James Killibrew (2) Jerry Smeder Robert Cordell (1925-1990) m. Auby Maxine Nash I don't know the names on the roads but they lived very close to where you turn off Dover Road (from Clarksville) to go to Heflin Cemetery. (There is/was a short road right before the one that goes to the cemetery----they lived off this road.) I'd love to see the photos! Sandy Ellis

--part1_ae.630fac24.2e886398_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 9/25/04 10:20:45 PM, iamcheroke@filertel.com writes: << The Census Taker Cometh - Michael John Neill It is June 3, 1860. Anna Gufferman, who is twelve years old, sees a stranger approaching her small home. He looks reasonably dressed and does not appear to be carrying a weapon. Illinois is not as wild a place as Nebraska where her cousins live, but mother has warned her that one can never be too careful. She shoos her five younger siblings in the house as the man approaches. He approaches the front yard and calls out for the man or the woman of the house and says he is here to ask questions for something called the "census." Anna is wary of calling for her parents if there is no need. When Father and the boys are in the field, he does not like to be disturbed, not even if Grandfather comes. Mother is down at the creek by herself, having left Anna with the children. The weekly washing is one of the few times Mother does not have several small children underfoot, and Anna is hesitant to bother her if it is not absolutely necessary. Anna decides this "census" does not require her to disturb her parents. She tells the census taker that she is very familiar with the family and the goings on in the household. After all, she is twelve years old and responsible for several younger siblings. The census taker asks Anna several questions, which she frankly thinks are none of his business. He tells her that the government needs to know this information and that it is important it be accurate. Anna does the best she can to answer his questions. He starts by asking her the names of her parents and her siblings. "It is a good thing my parents are not here," Anna thinks to herself. While her English is rudimentary, it is considerably better than the handful of words her parents have managed to learn. Determined to impress the census man with her knowledge of English, she indicates that her parents are not Hinrich and Anneke Gufferman, but that they are rather Henry and Ann. Her other siblings all have names more German sounding than Anna's. She decides to provide the census taker with English versions of their names, just as she did with those of her parents. Anna is not quite certain how old her parents and her siblings are, but the man seems to insist on knowing their age precisely. Their christening names and dates of birth would be in the family bible, but Mother would fly into an absolute rage if Anna got the bible herself and began leafing through it. Deciding it was not worth the risk of her mother catching her in the act, Anna guesses as to the age of her parents. Despite her uncertainty, she speaks clearly and distinctly to convince the census man that she knows the ages precisely. He seems pleased to get the information. He then asks where her parents were born. Anna knows they were born in Germany and were married there. Those questions are easy. The census man then asks where she and her siblings were born. These questions are not so easy. She cannot remember which of her older brothers were born in Germany and which ones were born in Illinois. She remembers that her parents lived for a while in Ohio before coming to Illinois. And frankly, she is getting tired of all the questions. Consequently she tells the census taker that her two older brothers were born in Germany, the next was born in Ohio and that all the remaining children were born in Illinois. Anna decides to give hurried answers to the rest of the census man's questions. He has taken time away from her chores and Mother will not be happy if the morning tasks are not done when she returns. Occasionally impatient with Anna's delayed answers, the census man seems pleased when Anna begins answering the questions more quickly. Eager to please and knowing she should return to her chores, Anna speedily answers the remaining questions, paying little concern to the accuracy of her answers. It is June 25, 1880. The census taker arrives at the home of Hinrich and Anneke Gufferman. It is a different place than his fellow enumerator encountered in 1860. Hinrich and Anneke have two children at home, the youngest son who helps his father farm and a daughter who works as a hired girl for a Swedish couple up the road. There is still plenty of work for Anneke to perform around the house, but no longer meeting the needs of twelve children makes her life less harried than it was before. Anneke invites the census taker into her kitchen and after he indicates some of the information he needs, she goes and gets the family bible, which contains the names and dates of birth for her husband and her children. She opens the bible to the appropriate page and tells the census taker there is the information. The entries are written in Hinrich's bold, clean script and the census taker only has difficulty in reading the name of the youngest daughter Trientje, which he copies down as Fruita. Otherwise the odd-sounding names are easy to read and the census taker simply copies them into his record. There are additional questions and Anneke provides the answers as best she can. In Germany, her husband was a day laborer and had moved several times looking for work. When asked where her husband's parents were born she is not certain; Hinrich's mother died when he was a baby and the father had died shortly after their marriage. Anneke told him the parents were born in Germany. Anneke was not certain of her father's place of birth, either. He had died before her birth and had been a soldier. Anneke had been named for her father's mother, with a first name that was unusual for the area of Germany where she was from. Thinking her father was Dutch, she told the census taker that her father was born in Holland. But she was not really certain. It is June 16, 1900. The census taker comes to the door of Hinrich Gufferman. It has been a month since his beloved Anneke has died. Hinrich does not know the census taker. He swears at him in German in a booming voice and the enumerator senses that he will get no answers. Gufferman's son Johann lives a few miles up the road, fortunately in the same township. The son had told the census taker that Hinrich was taking the death very badly and was only speaking to a few family members. Johann told the census taker to come back if information was needed on the father. It looked like the enumerator would have to take Johann up on his offer. Ever wondered why some census entries look like creative accounting? Have you ever thought about what actually transpired when the census taker arrived at your ancestor's home? >> --part1_ae.630fac24.2e886398_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <MCKAY-L-request@rootsweb.com> Received: from rly-xb03.mx.aol.com (rly-xb03.mail.aol.com [172.20.64.135]) by air-xb01.mail.aol.com (v101_r1.4) with ESMTP id MAILINXB11-99415651983ca; Sun, 26 Sep 2004 01:20:44 -0400 Received: from lists8.rootsweb.com (lists8.rootsweb.com [66.43.18.27]) by rly-xb03.mx.aol.com (v101_r1.5) with ESMTP id MAILRELAYINXB33-99415651983ca; Sun, 26 Sep 2004 01:20:25 -0400 Received: (from slist@localhost) by lists8.rootsweb.com (8.12.10/8.12.8) id i8Q5K4NA003826; Sat, 25 Sep 2004 23:20:04 -0600 Resent-Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 23:20:04 -0600 X-Original-Sender: iamcheroke@filertel.com Sat Sep 25 23:20:03 2004 X-CLIENT-IP: 63.165.173.178 X-CLIENT-HOST: 63-165-173-178.casino3.cactuspetes.com Message-ID: <006201c4a388$7dc3a4f0$b2ada53f@GSAKfamily> From: "Alli" <iamcheroke@filertel.com> Old-To: "Adams" <Adams-l@rootsweb.com> Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 23:19:56 -0600 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2741.2600 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2742.200 X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.38 Resent-Message-ID: <ZslSG.A.F7.EGlVBB@lists8.rootsweb.com> To: MCKAY-L@rootsweb.com Resent-From: MCKAY-L@rootsweb.com Reply-To: MCKAY-L@rootsweb.com X-Mailing-List: <MCKAY-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/855 X-Loop: MCKAY-L@rootsweb.com Precedence: list Resent-Sender: MCKAY-L-request@rootsweb.com Subject: [MCKAY] Fw: The Census Taker Cometh Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by lists8.rootsweb.com id i8Q5K4NA003826 X-AOL-IP: 66.43.18.27 =20 This is extremely interesting.........

We are all probably related through the Scarboroughs. As far as I know, the Stewart County line is descended from the four sons of James Scarborough. The sons are; James Monroe Jr., John William, Alexander and David.

Tom's email is; TomBoydSr.@AOL.com. He has an up to date file and is very willing to share. I just returned from the reunion and it was great. I expect we will get our newsletter out in the next six weeks. We have a mailing list of about 250. Our plans are for a web site. We are in the preliminary planning stages!

Rita; Short answer-yes I believe so. Long answer: George W Miles m1 Nancy Jackson Miles the widow of his brother (and my 3rd g grandfather) Samuel H Miles. After Nancy died he married Amanda Parker (my 1st cousin 3xr). Amanda was the daughter of Cigmarion (my 3rd g granduncle) and Sarah Shillcut Parker. All I have on D C (Dewitt) is the census reports and the various notes where he was being paid to teach--all on the Stewart County Web site. Note in the 1850 and 1860 census his occupation is s teacher and teacher. I think Dewitt is D C Miles as in all transcactions except for the censuses he his shown as D C Miles. 1850 Census-US-Tenn-Stewart Co-Nov 14, 1850-pg 446 lists: 888/924 Elisha Miles 50 m/w Farmer 400 Tenn Sarah 49 f/w Tenn 889 Cyntha 27 f/w Tenn DeWit 24 m/w S Teacher Tenn John 22 m/w Farmer Tenn George 20 m/w Farmer Tenn Andrew 20 m/w Farmer Tenn Felix 16 m/w Farmer Tenn Elitha 14 m/w Tenn Sarah 12 f/w Tenn Martha 10 f/w Tenn 1860 Census-US-Tenn-Stewart Co-Dist 8-Iron Mtn-July 4, 1860-pg 123/485 lists: 912/914 Elisha Miles 60 m Farmer --/1250 Tenn Sarah 59 f Tenn Dewit 33 m Teacher Tenn Sarah 21 f Tenn Martha 18 f Tenn Bethrap Ransworth 40 f --/125 Tenn Now if you look at Bethrap Ransworth (listed above) we find Bethia Raworth who married William Bruton 12-3-1860. I have no more information on her.

I have an Elisha Miles b. 1800 with no death date married to a Sarah, no last name b. 1801 with no death date who had a son George Washington Miles b. 1829 who married Amanda Parker. It made me wonder if D. C. Miles was a brother to George Washington Miles. I don't find anything on a D. C. Miles or a Betsy A. Wofford in my file. I do have an Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Jane Wofford b. September 10, 1866 with no parents. She married John Andrew Largent b August 18, 1858 son of William E. Largent and Mary Milbre E. Stavely. But that's as close as it gets and thats not close. Sorry.
