4/29/01 Thought I'd try a new approach to looking for my ggggrandfather, John Hunt, b. July 13, 1798, in Rowan Co., NC. does anyone have a John Hunt among their ancestors who married Elizabeth(unk), either in Tennessee or Kentucky, between 1815 and 1820? If so, I'm looking for him, and we may be cousins. It is NOT, I am fairly certain, the John Hunt who married Elizabeth Jane Moore in Wilson Co... Tn in 1816 Patricia

Joyce, Always loving a mystery I looked a little at the Talbot you found. Thomas Talbot died in 1831 and the Thomas Talbot cemetery is online at the usgenweb cemetery project page. You may have Thomas Talbot Sr there as he is listed on the 1820 census index. Thomas Talbot Jr and Sr or on the 1830 census index. There are many deed and court records listing a Matthew Talbot and Thomas Talbot on the Strictly By Name site for Davidson County, and also a Jane Talbot. I hope this little cemetery isn't moved because of the interstate and that someone will adopt this cemetery to care for. Thanks for the information. I'm not related but it was interesting.

Tn Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Sumner/11883 Surname: Thomas Sharp Spencer ------------------------- Looking for any documents or relatives of Thomas Sharp Spencer. Was told by my grandfather Harvel Luther Spencer..son of Luther Mayhew Spencer we are related somehow. Any info would be appreciated.
I am looking for information about two brothers. Samuel and William Morris. They are the sons of David C Morris and Mary Jane (Bennett) Morris. David is the son of Samuel P Morris and Elizabeth (Caldwell) Morris. David died shortly after his marriage and his future ended, but there might be a Bennett Family researcher that has information about Mary Jane and hopefully her children too. Thanks. Rob Morris
Listers, Does anyone know of James Edmund Holloway & Mary Polly Williams who married 1/5/1831 in Sumner County. She is dau of Henry Williams b.unknown (in umner County prior to 1805) & Alice (last name unsure). His father appears to be Edmund Holloway in Sumner County as early as 1812. I can find no relationship to other Holloways in the county. Census says he comes from Va or NC I am unsure where to search next. Can anyone tell me if they know of groups migrating into Sumner County about this time and from whence they came? Holloway family acts as bondsmen for the Sumner County Ross family. Pollys brother Joseph H Williams b. circa 1813 also marries a Mary Holloway. Many thanks for your help, Nancy

To the List: I have recently purchased the book "Sumner County, Tennessee, Index to the Loose Records: 1786 to 1930". These records are divided into the following four categories: Wills, Estates, Miscellaneous, and Lawsuits, with Lawsuits being the great majority. By sending the name, number, and category of the record, a SASE and $5.00 research fee to the Sumner County Archives you will be advised as to the copying / postage fees for the documents you are interested in obtaining. You can order up to five records at a time. I will be glad to do look ups in this book. Nancy Lanier nanlani@sc.rr.com
A brief -- too brief -- item in the _Nashville Tennessean_ this morning about a cemetery cleanup shows a tombstone with the name Thomas Talbot, Bedford County, Virginia, April 1760. Unfortunately the stone is damaged and the day can't be determined. The cemetery is in Davidson Co., but not awfully far from Sumner. Hope he belongs to someone. Joyce
Dear Troutt researchers, To answer your request concerning the three Bird (Byrd) Troutts of Sumner County, I will try to do so at this time. Bird #1. Bird #2, and Bird #3 are as follows. Bird #1 was the son of Michael Troutt who came to Sumner about 1816 along with his brother John from Knox Co., TN and built his home on the Middle Fork of Drakes (now Dutch) Creek about 4 miles west of present day Westmoreland. The Troutt boys, Michael & John, had been born in (probably) Augusta Co., VA and had come to Tennessee via Botetourt Co., VA about 1803. Michaels log house was only torn down in 1995. Bird #2 was the son of George Alfred Troutt and a nephew of Bird #1. Bird #3 also known as Bird Mizer was the son of Jeremiah Troutt and the grandson of George Alfred. The following is some info on these families. Michael Troutt (ca. 1767 - 1820) was married to Margaret (Maiden name not known) and he had the following seven known children. Margaret may or may not be the mother. 1. George Alfred Sr. (21 Feb 1799 - 15 Apr 1895) married Nancy Bell 12 Jul 1821 and had 13 children. Bird #2 being the 5th child. George married 2nd Elizabeth (Graves) Rippy and raised her 4 children. Third he married Elizabeth C. Cline and raised her son and together they had three children. A total of 21 children called old Squire George "Pop". 2. Henry (bef 1805 - ?) married Polly Robinson 20 Mar 1827. Where they went I do not know. 3. Jacob (21 Mar 1808 - bet 1874 & 1885) married Margery Louisa Clay 13 Feb 1827. They finally settled in Jefferson Co., IL, where his Uncle John had gone. 4. Bird (abt 1812 - Sep 1883) married 1st Nelly Cline and had nine know children. 2nd he married Mary Jane Wyatt and had one daughter, and 3rd he married Rhoda Sarver, they had no children. 5. Mary ( abt 1810-1815 - aft 1840) don't know what happened to her. 6. Meredith (abt 1816 - aft 1860) married Anna Cline 27 Dec 1834 and 2nd Jane York 15 Apr 1863. He also went to Jefferson Co., IL. This is where he married jane. 7. Michael Jr. (abt 1819 - 20 Mar 1862) married his 1st cousin Mary Ann Troutt daughter of John. 2nd he married Elizabeth Reeves a widow on 13 Mar 1852 also in Jefferson Co., IL. These are the seven children of Michael Troutt as I know them. After Michael died in 1820 his brother John went to Jefferson Co., IL first appearing there in 1830. he had sold his land in Sumner Co. to his nephew George in 1829. It is believed that old John was a father figure to the younger boys and that they followed him to Illinois. John Troutt (abt 1788 - abt 1865) married Nancy Kerr ( ? - bef 1840) 24 Aug 1807 and they had the following known children. (1) Margaret (1808 - 1872) (2) Samuel (abt 1809 - bef 1871) (3) Elizabeth (3 May 1812 - 15 Dec 1868) (4) Nancy (abt 1815 - 1892) (5) Jacob (15 May 1816 - 18 Aug 1874) (6) John Jr., (abt 1819 - ?) (7) Addison (abt 1820 - ?) (8) Malinda (abt 1820 - 24 Mar 1879) (9) Barbara (abt 1823 - ?) (10) Mary Ann (abt 1825 - abt 1851) Second John married Lucy Black (1808 - 1873) from Sumner Co., in Jefferson Co., Il 10 Feb 1840 and they had the following known children. (1) Elmira ( abt 1842 - ?) (2) Eliza Louisa (abt 1844 - ?) (3) Lucinda C. (abt 1846 - ?) (4) William Carroll (21 May 1849 - 20 Sep 1934). Back to Bird #1. He married 1st Nelly Cline (22 Aug 1813 - 12 Mar 1860) and they had eleven known children. 1. Amanda C. "Mandy" (abt 1833 - ?) married John William Denning 24 Nov 1855. 2. Mary Ann (abt Dec 1835 - ?) married Alfred Douglas Graves 31 Oct 1857. 3. Frances "Fannie" (13 Oct 1837 - 11 Jul 1914) married Andrew "Andy" Mandrell. 4. Elihu Henry (4 Jan 1840 - 6 Feb 1918) married 1st Margaret Louisa Mandrell 18 Feb 1861, 2nd Rosa Jane Fergurson 23 Mar 1878, 3rd Peggy M. Perry 8 Oct 1887. 5. William (abt 1842 - bef 1898) married Louisa Jane Harris. 6. Margaret Elizabeth "Puss" (abt 1844 - bet 1880 & 1886) married Felix McDole 9 Dec 1876. 7. Mahala Melinda (abt 1846 - bet 1860 & 1870) 8. John Albert (15 Apr 1850 - 25 Dec 1933) married Nancy "Nannie" Wiseman 9 Jan 1872. 9. Andrew Jackson "Andy" (18 May 1850 - 11 Apr 1935) married Georganne Bell 22 Apr 1876. 10. Alfred Mizell (6 May 1853 - 21 Aug 1929) married Emiline Mandrell 17 Dec 1874. 11. George Vinson (Sep 1857 - 1 Apr 1934) never married. Bird #1 later married Mary Jane Wyatt and they had one daughter. 1. Leella "Ella" (15 Aug 1864 - 26 Oct 1933) married Charles Asbury "Charlie" Slayton 11 jan 1886. Later Bird #1 married Rhoda Sarver 28 May 1877 they had no children. Bird #2 (16 Jun 1831 - 3 Jul 1862) the son of Squire George Alfred and the nephew of Bird #1. married Margery A. Holmes (28 Nov 1833 - 20 May 1887) 25 Jan 1855. He died during the War Between The States in Alcorn Co., Mississippi. It is not known if he died of wounds or from disease. [note, more men died from disease than wounds during the war.] Bird #2 and Margery had two sons (not three) 1. James Albert (1 Jan 1856 - 26 Jan 1917) never married. 2. Robert Calvin "R.C." (22 Jul 1861 - 30 Oct 1933) married Lizzie Bradley 2 Jan 1889 and 2nd married Anna Guy West 4 Feb 1896. I believe the confusion of three sons comes from the fact that Robert went by R.C. Troutt. These two Troutt brothers owned the old Troutt Brothers General Store near "Stinking" Creek between Westmoreland & Oak Grove. Bird Ellis, (Bird #3) (26 Apr 1866 - 18 Jan 1936) the son of Jeremiah Troutt, grandson of Squire George Alfred, nephew of Bird #2 and great-nephew of Bird #3 married Mary Alice "Mollie" Dorris 5 Aug 1887. They had seven known children. (1) Adrain Beard, (2) William Dennis, (3) Zettie Erma, (4) Eavil Wilson, (5) Alvin Calvin, (6) Clydie Mae, and (7) Vergie Frances. I hope this is of help to you all and I haven't messed up anything. I could go on but my eyes are crossing as it is past this old Bird's [pardon the pun] bedtime. Please let me know if you can help I will be glad to exchange family group sheets with any of you. If you wish to call or ask any question please do so. I have put our Troutt family back to early Pennsylvania in the early 1700's thanks to Mr. george Trout of California some ten years ago. I have visited Pennsylvania and Virginia from where they came and that is another story. Looking forward to hearing from you all again. PS, Roger I have tried to e-mail you and it keeps coming back. Send another. I did not spell check (what a mess) Tim Heath 4080 Hunters Point Pike Lebanon, TN 37087 Days 615-374-3222, Nights 615-449-4135.

Hello! I am new to the list and hope that someone can help me. . . I am researching the Isaac and Polly Oglesby Jones family. I have Isaac Jones b. about 1780 in Georgia, died 13 Jan 1815 in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was in the War of 1812. He married Polly Oglesby who was born in 1782 of Sumner County, Tennessee on 14 Oct 1805 in Drake's Creek, Sumner, Tennessee. I show 4 children: Martha Paine Jones, Daniel Oglesby Jones, John Lewis Jones, and Isaac Whitter Jones. I am trying to find the parents of Isaac Jones.

To the List: You should be aware of an important new Tennessee research book which will be available in June. "The Reconstructed 1810 Census of Tennessee" by Charles Sherrill contains 33,000 long-lost records from tax lists, court minutes, church records, deeds, wills and other sources. Many records from Sumner County and the surrounding area are included. The original Tennessee census for 1810 was destroyed with other records in Washington, D.C., long before microfilm was invented. With it went many valuable clues to Tennessee history and genealogy from a period when the state was filled with families seeking cheap land and migrating westward. In order to reconstruct the lost census, the author worked with a wide variety of records from 1809 to 1811 in an effort to track every adult male in Tennessee. In addition many entries describing women, children, free blacks and slaves were also located. The author is a well-known Tennessee genealogist, librarian and lecturer. This is the most ambitious undertaking of his 20-year career. His other recent works include "Tennessee Convicts" and "Tennesseans in Court." This 600-page book should be in every Tennessee research collection. For information on ordering a copy for yourself or your local library, e-mail Chuck Sherrill at bookish59@cs.com Order now to receive a $10 pre-pub discount.
I am willing to do STATE of Tennessee lookups. This includes: confederate physicians, civil war applications, death records(1908-1912,1920-22), World War I&II surveys, and lots of other odds and ends. Also have access to marriage records 1864-1900, and census records. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
