Need Help, Hiram and Sarah Tennyson

HiramTennyson — 22 Jun 2001 8:05:51 GMT

Looking for any deeds, wills, articles, or other verifiable information on Hiram and Sarah TENNISON who were in the 1850 Tish. Co., Ms census.

Hiram TENNISON was born ca. 1805 in NC according to the 1850 Tish. Co., MS census. Sarah was born in TN as was their first child James Henry TENNYSON. Their next two children were born in Alabama.

In 1845 Hiram is in the Tish. Co., Ms census for the first time as Hiram TENISON.

Sarah may have been a VAWTER, BAUDER, or neither. Cannot verify her last name. TENNISON/TENNYSON genealogist believe she was a VAWTER but she is claimed by BAUDER genealogist as well. The BAUDER genealogist list Hiram as TENNESEN or TENNEYSON.

There is a belief expressed in some e-mail I have received that Hiram and Isaac TENNISON were related. Some have said Hiram may have been a brother to James TENISON in the 1840 or 1845 census.

Family lore says Hiram's father was named James or Henry TENNYSON originally from VA, but most genealogist believe Hiram's father to have been Abraham TENNISSON of Rutherford Co., TN. However, I cannot find verifiable proof pointing any which way.

In family lore Hiram's father is said to have been buried in the "OLD" Forked Oaks Cemetary, not the "NEW" one. I find people who have heard of the OLD Forked Oaks Cemetary and say it had another name but no one has any information on it. Some believe the tombstones are under a house built on the Isaac TENNISON homestead or are in a wooded area and grown up and lost.

I cannot find any records in Miss., Ala., or Tn. of Hiram's and Sarah's marriage or birth of their children, except Tish. Co, MS census information.

All and any help GREATLY appreciated!! Please e-mail hiten@bellsouth.net

Lee Johnston married Hattie Elizabeth Helton 3 Oct 1905 in Tishomingo Co. MS Their ages were listed as 21 & 18 respectively.

I have been told that there are two Helton lines in Tishomingo. They may or may not be related.

Lee Johnston was Hattie's 1st husband. She later married Robert L. Clayton abt 1913.

Lee Johnston was b. abt. 1881.
Who was Lee Johnston?

Who were his parents?

Did he die prior to 1913, If so, when & where buried?

Did Lee & Hattie divorce? If so, when & where?

Did he die after 1913, if so when & where buried?

Did the couple have children? If so, what were the names of the children?

cemetery lookup at Iuka; Troop train accident, military connections; friend Pleasant May

dochu — 5 May 2007 11:18:40 GMT

I was wondering if someone could check the cemetery lists of Iuka, Miss. and see if E. D. Sims might be buried there. The E. D. stood for Eli Daniel or possibly Elijah Daniel. He died in 1864. Also if there is someone that could tell me about his military service I would appreciate it. I have looked and cannot find a company with all these officers in it: E. D. Sims died 10-18-1864 at the house of W. A. Burrows Esq. The primary cause was severe injuries received by an accident to a train on the Mobile and Ohio R. R. from a deficiency in the track, by which the train was damaged, several persons killed and many severely wounded. He wanted to be carried to his Co. which was Comp. H. Pickett's Reg. and Patterson's Brig. Roddy's Division in Alabama then encamped near Tuscumbia. As he was in route he got thirsty and got off the cars where the engineer left him, about two miles below Iuka. He walked on crutches to a home. He requested those who cared for him to write to his Comp. officers to allow Pleasant May, one of his companions in the area to come assist as his nurse. The request was not granted. I would appreciate it if anyone could shed light on any of this.

Wm. C. NICHOLS - 1850 Tishomingo County TO 1860 Itawamba County, Mississippi TO Henderson County, Tennessee

TheresaRGriffiths — 23 Mar 2007 11:33:35 GMT

Anyone know anything about this line?

I'm trying to help someone with their NICHOLS line.
And they have a Fanny UNKNOWN married to a Unknown NICHOLS. This Fanny shows on the 1880 census living with two daughters in the household of a Thomas BLACK in Dist. 5, Henderson County, Tennessee.
Looks like Fanny is a widow.
So then I looked at all the other NICHOLS in the same area and found maybe??.. her husband's NICHOLS line, but not sure and need to find others and maybe it will come full circle. I have traced this line back to 1850 and when you see all the places they were maybe something will click. Please look at the census below and you will see what I mean.

Looking for Info on Alvah Champion Long, Born Dec. 1896

SouthernArt — 13 Mar 2007 2:25:06 GMT

I am looking for any information that I can get on Alvah Champion Long. He was the son of Horace Champion Long & Mollie Frances Fairless(?). He married Jewel M. about 1910. They were both school teachers in the Tishomingo area.

In addition to information on Alvah & his family, I believe that our Long family Bible would have been inherited by him, and I am searching for any information on if it still exists.

Thank you!

They had a daughter Sarah Alabama Long who married Thomas Castleberry and they had a daughter Agnes Mae Castleberry who was born in Iuka, Miss. in 1860.

I am looking for info on George & Lucinda Reynolds who were in the 1880 census with 3 children.The children were Mary age 5,Alice age 2 and a _____ Reynolds age 1m. All children are girls. I am hoping that the 3rd child is named Ida but no proof. My grandmother(age 96) had two aunts named Mary and Alice that is why I think this may be Ida(her mother). Does anyone know of this family?

Esir H Whitehurst of Tishomingo Co.

DaleJohnson36 — 10 Jul 2001 9:55:47 GMT

Have information on Esir H Whitehurst:

-He was born 9/5/1790 in Pitt Co N C. He died Jan 9 1878 in Tishomingo Co. Ms.
-l8ll He was a witness to a deed in Putnam Co Ga. for Pelitiah Whitehurst
-l8l3 He served in Battle of Horshoe Bend, War of l8l2.
-l8l6 He married Elizabeth Crandall, likely Pitt Co. Her parents were Mary Ann Little Crandall and S. Christopher Crandall.
-l820-was in Stewart Co. Tn.
-l822, son James T Whitehurst was b. in Kentucky.
l830, son Eli C Whitehurst was b. in Tennessee
(Esir had daughters Elizabeth and Eliza.)
-l839 He moved to Tishomingo Co. Ms.
-l84l His first wife, Elizabeth died.
-l842 He married Susan Stokes in Tishomingo Co. Ms
l86l-65 Civil War, and Esir took side of the Union.
Sons Eli and James T served in the Confederate Army.
Eli died on July 5, l863 at Alton, Ill. Military Prison.
l878-Esir died in Tishomingo Co Ms. and is buried in the old Whitehurst Cmtry in that county.(Brother Benjamin B L Whitehurst had 7 sons in the Union Army.)

I have researched this family for l6 years and have had this information on Esir since l989. This research was done by my husband and myself, and while I am willing to share information, I expect those receiving information to share their information with me.

I am trying to find those descendants of the grandson of Esir H Whitehurst. These descendants would be from the first marriage of Eli C Whitehurst to Sylvania Loller. This child was, I think, taken to Arkansas by his mother after the divorce.

I expect those who use my information to cite the source they received it from. In other words, give credit where credit is due.

Avie Gray married to Jesse Barnes 1843

ekj75 — 3 Feb 2007 3:04:36 GMT

I'm searching for any information regarding Avie Gray who married Jesse Barnes in February 1843. I've found their names in the censuses, spelled differently each time. I have a copy of a marriage agreement where he had to pay a bond of $200 when they were married. Based on this document (which is difficult to read because of the handwriting), it appears that it was between Robert Gray, who I'm assuming was her father, and Jesse Barnes, who she was marrying. I've been told by family members that she was full-blood Cherokee, but I have not been able to find concrete evidence of that (although I'm guessing it's probably true because of the pictures I have of her daughter, Georgia Barnes Davis, my great-great grandmother.) They lived in Tishomingo County. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Grisham, Van Winkle, Blackard

rebbmoss — 8 Jan 2007 6:05:47 GMT

Would like to hear from anyone from these connected families. Gillie Grisham, dau of Marvin and Malinda Scruggs Grisham was born in Tishomingo Co in 1898 and died in Blytheville, Arkansas in 1986. She married John D. Blackard. I believe all their children are now deceased: Ercye, Linda Faye, Carl, and Mary Webber.

John D. Blackard had a brother William D. (Bill) Blackard. William D. was my great grandfather and married at least 3 times. Bill was born in 1893 in Tishomingo Co and lived north of Iuka in the Short community. He also went to Blytheville, Arkansas. These families went back and forth some between Ark and Tishomingo Co. Bill had by his 3rd wife, Idell Van Winkle, a son named Marshall Blackard. Idell died in 1981 and Marshall in 1969, both in Blytheville, Ark.
It is my hope that some Grisham cousins may know of this family and in particular if Marshall married and had children or if any of Gillie and John David's grandchildren are living.
My grandfather was Robert Blackard, son of William D. and Emma Malone. Wm D died in 1931 in a hospital in Memphis, TN. Any contact with persons with info on this family, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. There are a lot of unanswered questions. Thanks So Much, Rebecca Bruton Moss

Any information on her or the rest of the Long/Bingham family would be greatly appreciated!

Liddie married James M Baskins on 8/19/1894 and died on 9/23/1913. James M Baskins was born on ??? and died 3/16/1903 either in this county or Hardin co, tn ... Possible brothers to Thomas J L Heagarty b 4/19/1849 and W E Heagerty b 8/13/1847. My husbands grandmother wrote all of this on a note(she has passed away years ago) and we just found it. We think that Liddie who married James baskins is his great grandparents who died very young. James' father Eli Baskins who married a Stoner in this same county took the children after the parents died and brought them to St Francis Co, Arkansas where they were raised by their aunt Mattie Baskin Sampley and her husband Ira Byrd Sampley.

My ancestor William Drewry married Julia Derryberry in Tippah County in about 1852. He was in the Mississippi 10th Infantry and killed at the battle of Munfordville, KY in 1862. His son William (my great grandfather) was born on Jun 2, 1862, supposedly in Corinth. But that was only 2 days after the Confederate Army withdrawal and occupation by the Union Army. I've found no record of Julia and her son in Mississippi after that although she moved her family to Arkansas about 1870-72. She and her family are missing from the 1870 census of any state. The Derryberrys appear to have left the area after the war, but there are Drewrys/Drurys still listed in the census. I am trying to find out how she managed during that difficult time. Any information would be appreciated.
