Hi. I am trying to find out where Elbert Sylvester Jackson belongs in my tree. He is born April 4, 1879 and died Nov 25, 1940. He was the son of Richard and Rebecca Smith Jackson, also a descendent of Jonathan Jackson, born 1744 and died in 1835. Elbert married Delilah Alice Patterson. Both Elbert and Delilah are buried in the Bethany Cemetary, Greene County, TN Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Tracey

Thanks, so much, Carolyn. I will do some checking and get back to you. Even the name HARTSELL seems familiar for some reason!

Carolyn, I checked further in my files and found one researcher who has Abraham marrying twice, first to unknown Bayless and then to unknown Sherfy (Sherfig). She also has another Abraham b. 1802 (nephew of the 1795-1847 Abraham), s/o Jacob Miller and Elizabeth Range (my ancestors)--no further information on him. This information is from Nellie (Woods) Whedon "The German Bohne-Bohn-Boon-Boone Family: Descendants of Johann Diel Bohne of Maryland 1711-1764, written 1945. Pat ---------- >From: "Patricia M.

Jean, Amanda Click b. abt 1810 Washington Co. TN d. 19 Mar 1893 Madisonville, Monroe Co. TN married 10 Jun 1830 Washington Co. Charles Robert Hartsell. She is the daughter of Henry Jackson Click, Sr & Ruth ____(?). Amanda is a sister to my 2nd great grandfather, William Columbus Click, who also lived in Washington, Cocke & Monroe counties. Here is some info I have on Margaret Peggy Jones who married George Lewis Click: Marriage bond written 3 Aug 1808 Washington Co. Tenn. Martin Click and Malachi Click, both of Greene Co. Tenn signed the marriage bond as securities. His marriage to Peggy Jones of Washington County took place 28 Aug 1808 Washington Co. Information taken from Peggy Jones Click's application for bounty land, application written 28 Sept 1850 Cocke Co. Tennessee. She was possibly related in some way to the RICHARD JONES who sold 60 acres of land to Peter Click in Washington County, Tennesse on 6 May 1800. Not confirmed. NOTE: PETER CLICK IS ALSO BROTHER OF GEORGE LEWIS CLICK & HENRY JACKSON CLICK, SR PENSION FILE WAR 1812 GEORGE LEWIS CLICK She further states that she was married to the said GEORGE CLICK in Greene County Tennessee on the 28th day of August A. D. 1807 by one Esqr. Jones and that her name before said marriage was MARGARETT JONES and that there is nether Bible nor family record of it at this time, that her said husband died at his resident in Cocke Co. on the 30th day of December A. D. 1844 and that she is still a widow. OTHER VARIOUS INFO THAT YOU MIGHT SEE SOME CONNECTIONS SOMEPLACE: DEED BOOK 9 PG 165 17 AUG 1810 This indenture between MARTIN CLICK AND ABRAHAM G'FELLERS, both of Greene County, Tennessee --- consideration $300 --- conveys a tract of land in Greene County on the South side of the Nolichucky River - - Begins at a white oak the second corner on the division line between said MARTIN CLICK AND FRANCIS HUGHES -- containing 200 acres. Jacob Earnest George Jones Martin (x) Click Reg. April Sessions 1811 GREENE CO. TENNESSEE MARRIAGES - MARTIN CLICK POSTED SECURITY FOR THE MARRIAGE OF WILLIAM SKILES AND ELIZABETH MILLER, THE PARENTS OF SUSIE SKILES WHO MARRIED STEPHEN CLICK. (STEPHEN IS THOUGHT TO BE SON OF DAVID CLICK, BROTHER OF MARTIN CLICK, SR) I suspect the possibility that this Elizabeth Miller is related to the Abraham Miller (possibly a sister) who married the Click daughter of Lewis Henry Click, who was mentioned in the deeds as heir. If you have any other questions, let me know. Carolyn

Barbara Ribling [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/5456/ Barbara - thanks for the response on Sarah Margaret Peters Bayless. I have the questionaire from R.R.Bayless, and have now pasted it on my web page. I also have the pension application, and funny thing is that he says he was only married twice. Man can't count for anything. Lately I have wondered if Sarah just died or if she ran off somewhere. I have an ancestor (Sarah Emrich) who's first husband just left due to some kind of political problem he was involved with. She divorced him for desertion and married my ancestor (smart gal) This happened in 1838. In fact I have 2 known divorces just around that time, which doesn't mean much nowadays, but must have raised an eyebrow or two back then. If I ever get to see Sarah Margaret in the hereafter, I'm going to ask a lot of questions. Thanks again for your response. Kathy Awbrey in Pleasant Hill, OR (It's raining again for the 5th day in a row)

Has anyone even "heard" of the Pitcock name in Washington Co. Tn.? (getting desperate, I guess......) Gary

Hi Carolyn, Well, I have a feeling that these JONES and CLICKS are the same families, and that's the reason he was acting as surety for the marriage. It seems like it was Amanda CLICK. I need to see if I can find my notes. I will keep my eyes open for JONES and CLICK information as I search and share with the list. Perhaps something will eventually come to light on these folks. If I ever find my notes, I will post the information to the list. Thanks for your reply!

Hi Carolyn, I have an Abraham Miller, s/o Peter Miller and Elizabeth Boon (Bohun), but according to my source (not my research) he was born about 1795 and died about 1847 and married a Bayless, first name unknown. I wouldn't rule him out, but it might be worth checking further.

Jean, I am researching the Click's but don't have info regarding the Bedsaul's. I do have George Lewis Click who married Margaret Peggy Jones though. George was a brother of my 3rd great grandfather, Henry Jackson Click, Sr. These families of Click's moved over into Greene & Cocke Co. too. Carolyn

Hi Sherry, That is my Peter Miller & Jacob Miller also, and I am definitely interested in sharing information. I collected information on the conflicting stories back in January. I'll go back through it, but my time will be limited for the next few weeks until the semester is over in mid-May. One of the conflicts is that one group considers Elizabeth Boon (Bohun) to be a cousin of the famous Daniel Boone and another group disputes that. Another thing that I find particularly puzzling is that one of the Peter Millers with son Jacob was Church of the Brethren--one of the founding members, as a matter of fact--but the Jacob who married Elizabeth Range apparently was not (according to some sources). Jacob and Elizabeth had a daughter Eliza and a daughter Elizabeth, both of whom married Bowmans, and the two Bowmans were Church of the Brethren (Dunkards, Dunkers, Tunkers). I am descended from Eliza Miller who married John Bowman, and their daughter Elizabeth married Jacob Wine, a Church of the Brethren minister. Since the Brethren tended to marry within the church at that time, I would have expected Eliza Miller to be Church of the Brethren. Of course it could be that the source that says the Jacob who married Elizabeth Range was not Brethren could have been wrong, but Jacob Miller's will directs that he be buried at a non-Brethren church in Greene County (I'll have to look up the name.) Do you also have that Jacob Miller married Hannah Broyles after Elizabeth died and then cut her out of his will? I would love to figure this out--it's one of those loose ends that drives me crazy. The problem is that I live in NY and get to TN once or twice a year. As soon as I get a chance, I'll summarize the different versions that I have and post them to the list.

Thanks, Kathy Awbrey in Pleasant Hill, OR >[email protected] http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/WindowsWay/kawbrey/ Robert Rees was married more than once. I believe that Sarah Margaret PETERS was his first wife. She reportedly died in Washington Co., TN, in 1870. I found the following in the Washington Co. cemetery books: Vol.II: Cherokee Baptist Rees J. Bayless, son of R.R. and Anna, 1877-1886 Anna (Mulkey), wife of R.R. Bayless, 1844-1879 Vol.1: Oak Hill R.R. Bayless, 1843-1917, C.S.A. Adalaide Bayless, 1853-1938 (probably the last wife of R.R., Julia Adaline Guinn) John H. Bayless, 1870-1917 Beulah, wife of John H., 1870-1914 Edwin R. Bayless, Sr., 1872-1944 Georgia C. Bayless, 1878-1964 Edwin R. Bayless, Jr., 1905-1965 L.S. Bayless, 1847-1916 S.J. Bayless, 1844-1906 Mary I. Bayless, 1858-1930 All of these were apparently buried in the same plot near each other. There are many BAYLESS families buried in Washington Co. cemeteries. I do not own the cemetery books and so do not have the indexes or complete listings. One of my cousins copied many pages for me which include many BAYLESS graves. I did not find Sarah Margaret. She may be buried with the PETERS family at Cherokee Baptist or in another Washington Co. cemetery. I do not know exactly when she died. I have the following information from Harry Nelms: 1343. ROBERT REESE (REES) BAYLESS bn 5 Oct 1843 Carter Co., TN; d. 14 May 1917 Wash. Co., TN md 1) 29 Apr 1861 Wash. Co., TN to SARAH MARGARET PETERS dau of ____& ELIZABETH____; bn ca 1844 Wash.

Hi All, Anyone researching CLICKS? If so, what connection did they have to John Lowry BEDSAUL? John was b. 1802, Grayson County, VA. In 1823, he married a Polly JONES. By 1827, he married his second wife, Mary C. BACON. So, I presume that Polly died in childbirth, or of some desease, and although I can't prove it, I believe that John's first child, Isaac BLEDSOE (they changed their last name after a move to AR), b. 1826, was the child of Polly Jones BEDSAUL. I know that I have seen John listed as surety for a young lady with the last name CLICK, on marriage records. Thanks. Jean Cuevas

Would anyone have knowledge of where a Thomas Pitcock might be buried in Washington Co., Tn and what is written on his tombstone. I believe he died there in the late 1830s or early 1840s. Thanks. Gary

I am very interested in the Miller's in Washington Co also. One of my Click family members married an Abraham Miller and lived in Greene Co. just across the river. Abraham signed a land deed in Feb 1818 in Washington Co as an heir to the estate of Lewis Click. I don't definitely have her name, but might possibly have been Leanna b. abt 1780 Virginia. There was a Leanna Miller living in Greene co 1850 census with b. abt 1780 Virginia and suspect she may be the Click daughter I am looking for. The year of approx birth and location fits into our family line. Any help appreciated. Carolyn Whitaker
