I just found this on one of the pages I posted. I wonder if Lincoln was found guilty? Sounds like a CSA joke to me. [excerpt from The Seventh Brigade Journal, 8 Apr 1862, p. 4] Elias Bumbo vs. Abraham Lincoln, et al- Order of Publication. IT appearing to me from Complainant's bill, that Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, is a nonresident of the State of Tennessee, so that the ordinary processs of law cannot be served upon him. It is therefore ordered by me that the publication be made in the Columbia Herald, a newspaper published in the town[?] of Columbia, Tenn., for four weeks, the last[?] publication to be at least five days before the next setting of the Chancery Court for Maury county, Tenn., to be held at the Court House in Columbia, on the 3d Monday in March next requiring the said Lincoln to appear and plead, answer or demur to Complainant's bill or the same will be taken for confessed as to him and set for hearing ex parte.

This was sent to me by a near 90 year-old gentleman on the Franklin Co. NC list. Now it makes sense to me how Franklin Co. NC connects to Maury & Marshall Co. TN, other that just my family. -Mark ---- Mr. Murphy, you may or may not know that there was a surveyor, William Christmas of Bute and then Franklin County, who laid out the village of Raleigh which is now the capitol city of NC. This William Christmas, in the early part of 1800s, was appointed Surveyor General of TN and many families followed him to Williamson County, TN, part of which was cut off into Maury County. One of my Nicholson's moved there and about the whole McLemore family also. Christmas married one of the McLemore girls and his nephew John C. McLemore succeeded Christmas when he died about 1810. -Bill

Please disregard if you aren't interested. Some of these folks settled in and had kin in middle TN. -Mark [Extracts of Franklin Co., NC Court Minutes, 1834-1837] [Film/Rolls 744/C.039.30001-7 NC State Archives] [transcribed by Mark A.

If someone could find where this is, and if its still in an undeveloped area, one might be able to find a bunch of musket balls and other remnants from the battle (with permission of the property owner, of course). -Mark [The War of the Rebellion, Official Records (excerpt), Series I, Vol 23, Part 2-Reports, 1889] [Abstracted by Mark Murphy, 4 Dec 2001] p. 132 Report of Capt. William M. Flanagan, Third Ohio Cavalry. HEADQUARTERS THIRD OHIO VOLUNTEER CAVALRY, Camp Stanley, March 15, 1863. SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the recent scout of the Third Ohio Volunteer Cavalry: Pursuant to orders, we marched on the morning of th 4th instant, at daylight, under the command of Col. Eli Long, of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, commanding Second Cavalry Brigade. Taking the Salem pike, we marched about 10 miles in the direction of Unionville, a small village located on the Nashville and Shelbyville turnpike. On arriving within 2 miles of the village, we encountered the enemy's pickets, driving them in and following close upon their rear. The enemy, occupying that place in force, fled in haste on hearing of our approach. They did not escape in time, however, to prevent a loss of 50 prisoners and their camp and garrison equipage, consisting of tents, cooking utensils, wagons, &c. Not being prepared to carry any of our captured property with us, we remained in camp just long enough to destroy the same. Thence we were ordered toward Eagleville, on the Nashville and Shelbyville pike, where we bivouacked for the night, our horses under saddle, as we anticipated the enemy might follow in our rear; but they were judicious enough to approach and reconnoiter in small squads, which sufficed, however, to keep us on the alert, with our arms by our side, durin the night. We were called up quietly the next morning at 4 o'clock, and went as silently as possible about our respective duties. After we had breakfasted we fell into line, and, learning the enemy were occupying Chapel Hill, we marched for that point at 12 m. We reached Chapel Hill about 4 p.m., but only to find vacated camps, as General Steedman, with his brave and hardy soldiers, had routed the enemy, killing and capturing a large number. Weary and disappointed, we then fell back to our encampment at Eagleville. On the following morning we took up our line of march for Camp Stanley, but when 4 miles out were ordered to countermarch and proceed to Triune. From Triune we marched in the direction of Franklin, and, notwithstanding the roads were in bad condition from recent rains, we made a very expeditious march, encamping at night about 9 miles from Franklin. Resuming our march early next day, we reached Franklin about 12 m., where we encamped and remained over night. Early next morning, with the First Brigade, we took the Maury County pike, and, traveling about 6 miles, turned to the left up a road leading up a narrow valley to Thompson's Station, expecting there to find the enemy in force; but, being disappointed in this, we marched 5 miles farther on, making a junction at Columbia pike with a heavy column of troops under command of General Granger. Taking the advance of the whole column, with the First Cavalry Brigade immediately in our rear, we started for Columbia, passing through Spring Hill, a point which the enemy's cavalry had just left, retiring toward Columbia. We pressed them closely, skirmishing with them along the way without any casualties on our part. On arriving near Spring Creek we found the enemy strongly posted, guarding every ford and disputing with spirit and energy our passage. After skirmishing for several hours with the enemy across the stream, we returned to camp for the night, the enemy still holding his position. On the following day we were ordered to drive the enemy from his p. 133 position on the opposite side of the stream. The Third Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, by order of the colonel commanding, was dismounted and ordered to dislodge the enemy at the upper ford. I proceeded with my command to a point within 600 or 700 yards of the ford. I divided my command into three parts. I sent one-third, under Lieutenant (N.) Brewster, to the right of the road; one-third, under Captain (J.B.) Luckey, to the left, and the remaining one-third I placed under commmand of Lieutenant (E.A.) Haines near the road, under protection of a fence and a piece of woods, to cover the retreat of the right and left flanks in case a retreat should be necessary. I then ordered both flanks to advance cautiously, taking advantage of any natural cover that might be presented them. On arriving within 100 yards of the ford, my right and left flanks were greeted with a brisk fire from the enemy, posted strongly on the opposite side of the stream, but the brave men of the Third did not falter, but returned the fire with energy and spirit, and finally drove him from his position and gained complete possession of the ford. Finding the ford impracticable, we returned and reported accordingly. On learning that the enemy had been forced from his position, we were ordered to seek a more practicable fording, which we found a short distance below, and, crossing over, we consolidated with the remounted cavalry under General Granger's command, numbering about 3,500, and, being placed in the advance, we marched toward Columbia pike. After reaching the pike, one company, under command of Sergeant (James M.) Hipkins, was sent to ascertain the practicability of fording Spring Creek in our rear, at the pike crossing, which he reported practicable. When withing 1 1/2 miles of Columbia the main column was halted, and the Third Ohio was ordered to proceed cautiously forward under cover of nightfall and ascertain, if possible, whether the enemy still remained in force this side of Duck River. We found the enemy had withdrawn his whole force across Duck River, taking the ferry-boats and his pontoons with him, and had planted his artillery on the opposite side of the stream. After waiting in silence to discover, if possible, any movements the enemy might be making, and finding all within his camp quiet, we returned and joined the main column. We then led, in the advance of the column, in countermarch to a point this side of Spring Creek, where we went into camp about midnight. At dawn on the following day we took up a line of march for Franklin, where we arrived at 2 p.m., and encamped for the night, and prepared ourselves with rations for (a march) to Camp Stanley. On the morning of the 13th, we left camp and marched to a point within 2 miles of Triune, a distance of about 11 miles, and again encamped for the night. We resumed our march next morning before daylight, taking in our course the Nashville and Shelbyville turnpike until we reached Eagleville, when we turned to the left, following a dirt road until we reached Salem and Eagleville pike, leading to Murfreesborough. We arrived at Camp Stanley about 4 p.m. on the 14th instant, without any casualties or disasters of any character. I am proud to say that the officers and men of the Third bravely and heroicly endured the toils, fatigues, and dangers of the expedition without the least murmur or complaint. All of which is respectfully submitted. W.M. Flanagan, Captain, Commanding Regiment. Lieutenant Heflebower, Actg. Asst. Adjt. Gen. [end of excerpt]

I want to Thank all who send me information on Cumberland University.. Betty Vaughn researching.. MARTIN, EASON & CHAMBLESS in Wilson County PS: It was Joseph Anderson Daniel of Arkansas who attended school in Lebannon.. He wrote home in a letter asking for more money to continue studies..

Hi, As you get time, would someone please do a lookup in your county information for Isaiah Franklin Murph(e)y, b.1834 Wilson co., d. 1899 Marshall Co., he married two Mitchell sisters (not at the same time). I especially am looking for his father William B. Murphey prior to 1840s or so. Also, does anyone know of old newspaper sources on microfilm for these two counties?

At one time, the Cumberland Law School was in Lebanon. Several years ago, I think it closed and it became part of Univ. of ALA at Birmingham. I have no idea if it was in existence before the Civil War or not. Good luck! Wilarlie Knight Barto

My gr-gr- grandfather wrote of attending school in Lebannon before the Civil War. He studied both LAW and Medicine while there. Can anyone tell me what School he could have attended and if there are any records existing from that time period?? Thank you, Betty Vaughn

Seeking information on dob, dod, parentage etc of Samuel H. Johnson who married Isabella Duncan in Wilson Co. TN 2 Dec 1865. I understand they later went to Texas. Samuel Johnson's parentage is unknown. Isabella was the dau. of William S. Duncan Jr. and Eliza Chambers. She was orphaned and raised by Lewis Chambers, grandfather in Wilson Co. Any information you can provide will be most appreciated. Thanks, David Duncan

To LaDoris and Jeff and anyone else interested in Cooksey. Thomas E. Partlow's WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, CHANCERY COURT RECORDS 1842-1892, has one entry for Cooksey. It doesn't give much information as to the connection between the Corders and Cookseys, but here it is: Petition of Eliza O. Corder against Robert A. Corder, a non resident; J. B. Cooksey, Henry Violet and others of Smith County. Eliza O. Corder intermarried with Robert A. Corder on 24 January 1872. There has been born to this union one child about five months old. They lived peacably until Wednesday the 12th of March 1873 when in the night and without explanation, the said Robert A. Corder abandoned her. She believes he is going to either Ohio or Illinois. The said Robert A. had been married previously. He had one child by that marriage. He took the child, about five years old, with him. She is seeking a divorce. 19 March 1873 (Chancery Book 1872-1873, Pp. 443-446) Hope this helpful, although I can't figure out why she would be suing J. B. Cooksey and Henry Violet and others in a divorce case. These are not my family, just did a lookup for you. Teresa

To: "Debbie" <jjmcard@mc.net To: "Jeff" <ScismGenie@aol.com To the List: Sorry for the length ... Thank you, Debbie, for forwarding Jeff's query to me. I am sending my reply, as well as his original inquiry to you, to the list and hope someone else will be able to assist him. I am sorry, Jeff. The only information I have on Whaley NEWBY, or any of the Newby family, is that which I included in my original query. I am desperate for information on my COOKSEY family. There is a strong [in my mind?] indication that the father of my Sarah Cooksey may have been JOHN DUNCAN COOKSEY who wrote his will 1822, Wilson, County. IF John D. Cooksey is the father of my Sarah Cooksey [married Lorenzo DOUGHTY], then she may have had a sister, Elizabety Mossey [or Massey] Cooksey, who married Whaley NEWBY, who incidentally was a buyer at the 1845 Estate Sale of my 3rd great-grandfather, Robert Doughty. John D. Cooksey, wrote his will in 1822. My Sarah Cooksey, born 1812 in either Smith or Wilson Co., TN., would have been just 9 or 10 years old but was NOT named in John's will. She married Lorenzo D. DOUGHTY August, 1831 in Wilson County. This is basically all the information I have found on Sarah prior to her marriage. Although my query held lots of hopes, wishes, supposes, and best guesses, etc., I have absolutely no proof that Sarah is a daughter of John D. Cooksey nor that there is any connection to Whaley NEWBY -- other than he just happened to be a buyer at the estate sale of Robert Doughty. I do have that John D. Cooksey had a son "James B. Cooksey, born about 1810 + Melinda". Thats all the info I have except my notes from the 1830 Smith Co TN Census: CENSUS: 1830 Smith County, Tennessee Page 68, Line #25 ... James Cooksey Male: [1] 15-20; Female: [1] 15-20 CENSUS - 1830 Smith County, TN Page 113, Line 20 ... James Cooksey Male: [1] 20-30; Females: [1] 15-20 [1] 10-15 There are two James Cookseys listed in this census; one being James B. Cooksey, and the other being James C. Cooksey. I have a James C. Cooksey listed as a child of Enoch, but Enoch was not born until 1841 so this could not be THAT James C. Cooksey. My records have James B. Cooksey, a son of John Duncan Cooksey and step-son of Gilly, born 1810, so the James Cooksey page 113, line 20, could be this James B. Cooksey with a younger sibling in his household. These are the only James Cookseys I have in my files. James B. Cooksey, son of John D., did have that sister who + Whaley Newby and if Jeff's "James" had daughter Victoria "Virginia born born 1821 then this James B. may be Jeff's connection to Whaley Newby? I am including Jeff's query [forwarded to me by Debbie] with the hope that someone on the list can help him. I will quit before I get everyone else as confused as I am ... sorry I couldn't help.

Logan: Am forwarding this to the list as it is in response to someone else's query who will be in Wilson County next week. However, I was interested in your surname JENKINS. Do you descend from Joseph Jenkins, born about 1801, who first married Mary VANTREASE and married 2nd Elizabeth O'NEAL BELL, Wilson County?

LaDoris: Sorry, I can't be of any help to you in answering your questions, though the surnames are familiar to me, having encountered them frequently in Round Lick Creek area research. I was not aware of the 1933 cemetery transcription by Mrs. Bouton. My HANKINS/HAWKINS, O'NEAL, EDWARDS, and BASS families lived in this Round Lick Creek area 1800-1850. Does anyone know if there is a transcription in print somewhere other than the Lebanon Library?

My sister and I, accompanied by our husbands, plan to spend next week in middle-Tennessee. One of our primary goals is to discover the cemetery where our Robert Doughty was buried in 1845. Robert Doughty lived near Tucker's Crossroads, on the Trousdale Ferry Pike, on or near Jenning's Fork Creek. His property was mostly in Wilson County, with a portion lying in Smith County. It is likely that he was buried somewhere in this vicinity, but where? Was he buried on church property, personal property or in a local cemetery? We will also be searching for the final resting place of the Cooksey families who lived in this area of Wilson County. We have heard there is a small Cooksey cemetery somewhere close to where Robert Doughty lived. Sarah Cooksey, born 1812 in Smith County, married Lorenzo Doughty, son of Robert Doughty, in August 1831 in Wilson County, Tennessee. Both Sarah and Lorenzo died in Izard County, Arkansas [she about 1882; he about 1885], and are buried in Arkansas. We are seeking information on her parents and siblings. We believe one sister was married to Whaley Newby; Noland and Whaley Newby were two of the buyers of the Robert Doughty estate sale held in October, 1845 in Wilson County, Tennessee. We believe, but cannot document, that Sarah was a daughter of John Duncan Cooksey, who wrote his will in 1822, and his first wife; Sarah is not mentioned in his will. Perhaps a visit to Cooksey cemeteries located in Smith and Wilson counties will assist us in answering some of these long unanswered questions. From 1933 Tombstone transcriptions by Mrs. W. P. Bouton in 1933, available in the cemetery transcriptions file at the Lebanon Public Library: "On hill one mile south of Trousdale Ferry Pike, on W. H. Waters Place: Names are mostly Hankins and Edwards. There is a stone for Mathew Cartwright b Feb 20, 1754, d Feb 21 1812. There is also a stone for Bettie M. Hearn [1840-1857]. Question? Is there a way to find others buried at this seemingly private graveyard. A Cartwright family was a neighbor of Robert Doughty; Hezekiah Cartwright and his wife, Nancy, sold land "beginning at the northeast corner of the tract of land known by the name of Rogers tract of land lying on Kitchens Creek of Round Lick Creek....." , Wilson Co., to Lorenzo Doughty, son of Robert, on 10 September, 1838 [witnesses were W. P. Davidson, Shelah Waters, B.W. Bell, and T.C. Grissom.] This land was very near the Robert Doughty property. WOULD the Mathew Cartwright, cited above as being buried on the W.H. Waters place, be related to this same Cartwright family. I suppose what I am really asking is, "what is the probability of Robert Doughty being buried on the W. H. Waters place and does anyone know whom one should contact for permission to enter this burial site, which we assume to be private property." Any assistance locating the cemeteries and burial sites around the properties and waterways described above will certainly facilitate our research activities during our limited time in the Wilson-Smith county area. Any assistance or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. LaDoris Doughty Weber
