If anyone has a copy of the 1870 Wayne County, TN Census would you please check and see if you find a MARTIN family who has a son, Claude, who was born in 1868. I think that the head of the household would be Tom Martin but I am not sure. I will appreciate any help. Thanks! Lee

I have John Wiley Cooper b. 17 May 1839 and died 16 Sep 1922 in AL. I have no info on his family. He married Malissa Jane Jones. She was b. 1 Aug 1839 in GA and died 17 Oct 1913 Talledega, Tallededga County, AL. She was the daughter of Thomas Palmer Jones and Martha Hettie Medlock. Any chance there is a relationship to the John Wiley Cooper you mentioned? I see the John Wiley you mentioned was married to a Nancy Nolan.

Answers to questions received this morning. The earliest record I found for John WORTHEN was that he borrowed money from Jesse CYPERT which was due in Jan 1838... which seems to be about the time he married second wife, Nancy P. HARDIN. They had Susan b 1838, Isaiah 1839, Jemima 1842, James 1845, Nancy 1848, John 1849, Jesse 1852. Nancy and her son John are not listed in the 1860 census so may have died. Mary J. WORTHEN LEE stated in an affidavit that Isaiah WORTHEN was her half brother; that and 7 years between the birth of Sarah 1831 and Susan E. 1838 suggest that the first wife died during that time. So Mary J. 1825, Phebe Ann 1827, * William S. 1829, Robert 1830, and Sarah M. 1831 would be the children from John's first marriage. My direct line is through John > *William S. > William A. WARTHEN> John's second wife, Nancy HARDIN was not the mother of my William S. so I would not be related to the Hardin line or the COPELAND line via my ggrandfather's second marriage to Margaret Elizabeth Cophen/Copeland. I agree the Wayne County families are difficult to deal with. For example John's daughter Sarah WORTHEN married John DEAN (his second wife) and moved to Perry County, TN. After the Civil war John's son Isaiah moved to Perry County and married his sister Sarah WORTHEN DEAN's step daughter Martha DEAN and they had 3 sons before she died. I am not sure that Nancy HARDIN is related to Lewis HARDIN but if so they may have been brother and sister. Nancy P. was 36 in 1850 so born about 1814. Do you know who were the parents and siblings of Lewis HARDIN? My ggrandfather, William S. WARTHEN b. 1829 (John's son) married 3 times. The first was Sarah Ann? in Wayne Co., within one year of the 1850 census. He married second to Elizabeth COPHEN/ or COPELAND after Dec. 1850 before 1854 but don't know if she was from Wayne County as he was in Collin Co., TX  tax records in 1854; this wife burned to death. I descend from his third marriage to Mrs. Letty May (?COLLINS) WILKINSON/WILKINS. Her 2 year old son's name was John WILKINS but the marriage Lic. states Letty May WILKINSON and some of the relatives say her maiden name was Collins. Who knows? Barbara Warthen Wallace

My apologies to all; I thought I'd taken Mrs. Raymond's address off the printed genealogies page. I see from the message traffic that I have egg on face <grin>. It has been corrected and will be uploaded either Saturday or Sunday with the other updates. Edgar

Imogene and Gladys; I have the book that is in the Wayne Co. Library done by Madeline on the Duckworths. Have two films on the Duckworths done by Dr. Duckworth , Veternarian of East Tn. Then have a book done by a couple in the state of Al. There nothing what ever about our John Duckwort first found in Maury Co. Tn. in 1805, nor his possible dau Susan Elizabeth . The brick wall still stand tall and firm. Just hope one day someone will find something about him. Grover Pope in Dyersburg, Tn.

Gladys,. Madaline Replogle Raymond did not know very much about the Duckworth family. I searched all the records that I could find in Lawrence, Wayne, Maury and Hardin County and she included most of them. We found some other people who knew they had a Duckworth ancestor but not much documentation. I have one of Madeline's books and there is one at the library in Waynesboro. I know a DR Duckworth in this area, who is the Duckwort family expert, but he can't place our John either. I think it is a hopeless case unless someone has some family papers that I do not know about. Spend your efforts on the Churchwell and Turnbow families. There are still a lot of descendants that we do not have and probably will never get. Everybody thinks Linda Weldon's book is accurate but there are so many errors about our family that the mistakes my never be corrected. Jean

I am posting this on the Wayne County Web site as well. Hopefully someone will find it useful. Hi Margaret, Good to hear from you and I appreciate the information on my gggrandfather, John Worthen. About this Factory Creek book you spoke of, is it a recent publication? Who wrote the article on John WORTHEN? I have known of the KILBURN connection for years but have not researched them myself. John WORTHEN b. 1784 in Virginia and his wife? Sarah Ann (I have never found a record that showed Sarah Ann married to John.)  My ggrandfather, William S. WARTHEN was married to a Sarah Ann (unknown) in the 1850 Census but as far as I know there is no record of the name of his mother ... unless you have found proof.  Actually, I think John was married to a Margaret as all of the first set of children named a daughter Margaret ... just a guess on my part. I did not know John settled in Wayne Co. in 1836 but figured it was around that time. I have no idea where he was prior to that. I also did not know they were living on the ridge at the very head of Kilburn Hollow (between the headwaters of Green River and Kilburn Branch , Double Branches and Sweetwater). I would like to locate that on the map so I could visit it next time I am in that area. True, I believe John & Jemima (WORTHEN) CYPERT to have been the children of James and Nancy (PUCKETT) WORTHEN but I have no proof that John was a son ... I guess he could have been a nephew. The heirs at the time of John's estate settlement:  (I have added data to your data) 1. Mary J., born 1824/1825 in Tennessee. She married John W. LEE thought to be the son of Henry LEE and Dorcas COPELAND. 2. Phoebe Ann, born 1827, she married Josiah S KILBURN and they raised their family up Lee Holloe (now called Kilburn Hollow) near the head of the Factory 3. William Scott, born 1829: I submitted my ggrandfather's story on William S, who became a preacher, to the Wayne County History book several years ago. I noticed you had some wrong information on William S. WARTHEN: he moved to Collin County in 1854 then he moved to Grayson County, Texas and into the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) last, about 1892, He died in the Indian Territory in 1907. 4. Sarah J. born 1831: Sarah married John DEAN prob. in Wayne County. He had children from another marriage and I don't know if Sarah had children; they moved from Wayne to Perry County, TN before the war. Isaiah WARTHEN married first to John DEAN's daughter Martha. 5. Isaiah/Josiah, b. 1840 died in 1890 or 1891 in KY (need to look it up again) His story is coming out in the next Historian. He is not my direct line but because I traced his life I found that John WORTHEN's second wife (his Mother) was Nancy HARDIN. The following is a mistake which I put in print several years ago. Isaiah married Mrs. Melvina (RUTHLEDGE) WILSON not Melvina MOORE. They were living with an older Thomas MOORE in the 1880 census and I thought that was her father but I was wrong. 6. Jemima, born in 1842.  She married William Daniel CLAYTON thought to be the son of William CLAYTON Jr. and Charity GOWER originally from Lawrence Co., TN. 7. James WORTHEN b. 1836: I have found nothing on him. There was a James WORTHEN from TN who was in the Civil War and I plan to research him soon. 8. Nancy b. 1838.  Nothing found thus far but she may have gone to AL when little Jesse did or perhaps she went to live with the DEANs when her father died. 8. Susan married a BUTCHER; I have no idea what happened to her. Children not mentioned: -Robert WORTHEN who may have gone to AR with T.P. CYPERT around 1854 and was shown in his household in the 1850 Wayne County Census. -Jesse WORTHEN (a child) who spent the war days in AL and remained there until his early death. He married Miss KITCHENS in AL. CIVIL WAR: This family had men who fought on both sides of the war ...  in fact Isaiah fought on both sides himself.  He spent a year with the South and then joined the North and finished the war as a Union Soldier. Wm S. was in the Rebel army perhaps because he lived in Texas and it was not safe to be on the "other" side. Their father died in 1862 so missed most of that heartache. John WORTHEN acquired land from John WHITE in the 1840s and I have a feeling there is a family connection there. Hope we can continue to organize and share data. Barbara
