I am looking for the parents of America Ann Ezell. She was born in Tennessee about 1829, probably (not proven) in either Weakley Co. or Williamson Co. She married John C. Miller in Weakley Co. in June 1846. They lived in Weakley for some years, then moved to Hickman Co. KY, and then onto Dunklin Co. Missouri. Any information about this family will be welcome. Nancy Kilbourn DuShavo@roadrunner.com

Hello and thank you! This has resulted in some interesting information. While William L. Milner was apparently a large farmer in his own right, the William Jones whom Elizabeth married also had a large farm. In the 1870 census, William (Jones) and Elizabeth were living alone (except for a Rebecca Jones) with property valued at 2500. Three houses down was William Mark Milner, also with $2500 in land and 4 servants. He had married in 1867. These joint lands backed up to the Blake farm. In 1910 Census, John Add Milner was still living at home with his parents, William Mark and Mary Virginia. By 1920 census, William Mark had died. John Add Milner and Minnie Blake had married and apparently moved into the home of Mary Virginia. According to my mother, the Milner farm was nationally recognized one year during that period of time by one of the farm magazines.

rfhouston@mindspring.com You said that William Leonard Milner, son of William and Nancy Edmunds Milner married Elizabeth P. Ray in 1827. Was Elizabeth's last name Ray or was it spelled Wray??? I'm asking this because I know that a Milner who lives near Graves, KY, has a whole family branch full of Wrays which can be spelled many different ways. rfhouston@mindspring.com Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 11:20:52 -0400 From: "Dot & Len Milner" <lendot@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [TNWEAKLE] Milner History To: <tnweakle@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <000801c7bbf3$69f7e810$2a863b44@your4dacd0ea75> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original David, Thanks for the response.

David, Thanks for the response. I will try to clarify your Milners. The L. Milner in the 1850 Census is William Leonard Milner, son of William and Nancy Edmunds Milner. He married Elizabeth P. Ray in 1827 in Halifax County, VA. In 1847, they sold their land on Bannister River and moved to West Tennessee. Leonard, on the return trip from visiting his sister in Arkansas, died of Cholera and was buried on the banks of the Mississippi River. His young son, William Mark Milner, was with him and was returned to Weakley County by Masons. This story was related to Dan Freeman by his father, Roy B. Freeman, son of Frances Elizabeth Milner==a daughter of William Mark Milner. After Leonard's death, Elizabeth married William Jones in 1854 in Weakley Couty. William Leonard, son of William and Nancy Edmunds Milner and grandson of Mark and Sarah Tune Milner was also a first cousin to Beverly R. Milner. John Add Milner, who married Minnie Blake, was the son of William Mark and Mary Virginia Chandler Milner Hope I haven't confused you.

Arnn (1851-1922)and Hattie Hicks Arnn(1857-1920), who married Columbus Piatt McClellan. John and Hattie Arnn are buried Eastside Cemetery in Martin. Do you have any information on this couple?

On the 1870 Census in Obion County District 12 I found a J MCCLURE. Do any of you know if this J MCCLURE - Age 52 in 1870 (b. Abt 1818) is the same as Jonathan MCCLURE son of Thomas MCCLURE and Lydia GORE? On this same Census, there is a son named Joshua Age 10 in 1870 (b. Abt 1860) I believe this is the same Josh MCCLURE married to MARY E. UNKNOWN the is on the 1900 Census in District 12 of Obion County. If this is the same person, there is a Bate MCCLURE listed as his Brother b. Oct 1853. Do any of you have any information on this MCCLURE Family? Thanks, -DS

Pj. I am preparing another Kilgore file for you. Charlie McCoy Kilgore is a brother of Henry Gregg Killgore. He came too Weakley Co In the 1840's, way before Henry Gregg did, and most of his kids stayed in Weakley Co. My problem is this file is much bigger than the Henry Gregg File. Where you able to print the Henry file and make it look OK. It looked out of order, when it came up on the tnweakley site. I will send the Charlie McCoy File if you think it will print OK. Roy M Killgore By the way this is fun: ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat? Check out tonight's top picks on Yahoo!

Well , At the moment I am stumped on my Bell's from Weakley who went to Arkansas. So I have been poking around on my side of the tree. I have ordered Widows Application for Pension for my grandma Eran Harveston McLin. (Ms, and La areas) And received it today! Strangely enough it has two applications dated about 7 yrs apart, both applications have a different marriage date and death date for her and her husband , hmmm. Thinking maybe I should go with the first one because she may have had a touch of forgetfulness later on in years? I have also recently ordered the death certificates for both of my maternal grandparents ( NY ) Ok while we are on the subject here is a tale for you about my mom's side of the family. Mom was born in Brooklyn New York 1931 , along with her 2 brothers Charles Raymond White "Buddy" and Robert Francis White "Bobby" As a small child she was told her father died , so they were raised by her mother who was crippled with polio. Uncle Buddy was a problem child to say the least , in and out of reform schools and later prison. Bobby was always the "golden child" until one year he too got into trouble with the law , he was around 16 yrs old, Grandma gave him Uncle Buddy's birth certificate and told him to go enlist. Which he did, a few years later he disappeared never to be heard from by any family member again. In the meantime mom was writing Uncle Buddy who was in prison in Albany New York , for some strange reason she accidentally put the wrong city and addressed it instead to Beacon New York. Shortly after that she received a letter from none other than her FATHER ! You see, it seems as though grandpa didn't die after all he was in a mental hospital all that time! Mom went to New York ( she was living in Michigan at the time) to get him out, first stopping by her my grandma's , grandma talked her out of getting him out. Unfortunately Grandpa died a couple years later, he and his family still remain a mystery. Now remember me saying about Uncle Bobby who disappeared? Well , I was looking for my Uncle Buddy's obit online , (didn't find it ) Uncle Buddy was born Feb 22 1928 in Brooklyn New York full name Charles Raymond White He died Feb 08 2002 Brooklyn New York.. Now I found the following information on ANOTHER Charles R. White Charles R. White born Feb 22 1928 Brooklyn New York died Feb 22 2002 Texas Was in the service for quite awhile. I really want to know if this is my Uncle Bobby , but do not want to upset his family if it is. So your opinion , would you contact them or not?

Hello, My great aunt, Minnie Blake, (1880 - 1969) married John A. (J.A.) "Add" Milner (1877-1945)late in life, (1917) in Weakley Co. J.A. "Add" Milner grew up in Dist. 14, Weakley Co., near the Blake homeplace. His parents were William and Mary Virginia (Chandler) Milner. William Milner was born in VA in 1837. One William Milner is found in the 1850 Weakley Co. Census, Dist 9, in home of parents L. Milner, age 49, born VA, and Elizabeth Milner, age 44, born VA. All the children listed were born in VA: William, age 14; John, age 11; George, age 6, Samuel, age 21, and probably Samuel's wife, Sarah, age 15. However, another William Milner is listed in the same census, Dist 14 (which is next to Dist 3 - Gardner area), in home of parents B. J. Milner, 42, VA (magistrate), wife Saluda, 37, TN; children Robert, 17, TN; Aurelius, 15, TN; William, 37, TN; Sarah, age 6, TN; James, age 8, TN; Lucetta, age 4, TN; and Saluda, age 2, TN. Is the William Milner mentioned above...likely the one in the 1850 census, Dist 14....connected in any way to your Beverly R. Milner? If so, any information would be greatly appreciated.

Milner was born on December 20, 1820 in Halifax County, Virginia. A little over a year before his birth, his father, Richard, died on November 10, 1820 and he was raised by his mother, Martha (Jones). On December 26, 1840, he took his bride-to-be, Mary Short Roby, then 15 years old, to Pittsylvania County where his sister, Sarah, lived. There they were married by John Webb with William Compton, his brother-in-law, as bondsman and George Carter Roby, Mary's father, as signer of the certificate. By this time, mother Martha, had moved to Pittsylvania County to live with her daughter, Sarah, and although not shown in the official record, probably attended the marriage ceremony of her youngest son. Family tradition has it that Beverly and a friend had started west southwest toward Tennessee and, along the way, Beverly decided that he could not leave his sweetheart, Mary Roby. So he returned to Virginia to ask for Mary's hand in marriage. After their marriage in ! 1840, they returned to Halifax County and there their first child, Martha J., was born in 1842. Beverly's father, Richard, had left to him a set of shoemaker's tools (Will) and the 1850 Federal Census for Rutherford County, Tennessee shows him plying this trade in McCrackin's District (Murfreesboro). The couple had four more children while in Rutherford County: George William born 1/1/1844; Oliff Roby born 8/27/1847; Olivia Emiline born in 1848; and Leonard D. born 8/5/1851. The latter is my Great-grandfather. Later, they moved to the Gardner area of Weakley County, Tennessee and after that, to Pierce Station. During this interim, the next seven children were born: Sarah Elizabeth born December 1854; Beverly R., Jr. born in 1856; Mary E. born in May 1858; an infant girl born in February 1860 (who died a month later); Emerson Etheridge born in february 1862; Ulysses S. Grant born in January 1865; and Isaac W. born in February 1867. The family attended and were active i! n Chapel Hill (United Methodist?) Church Martha J. appears in the 186 0 census but is gone by the 1870 census with the presumption that she married in the interim and has been untraceable since. There are complete files on the rest of the children. Mary died on Tuesday, July 12, 1893 at their country home in Pierce Station and Beverly died 3 years later on June 25, 1896. Both are buried in Chapel Hill cemetery.
