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.
