Thank you, Dx and Mary for your information! It was very helpful.

Re: Jacksons from Wardell

JD Jackson was indeed married to Maxine Depew on December 2, 1939, in Arkansas. They had at least one child from this union. I haven't found an exact divorce date, but it would have been before 1947. Marriage records show that Maxine wed John Tant on January 1, 1947 & JDs death certificate states a marriage to an Irene at the time of his death in 1950. The death certificate can be linked from my tree as well as a picture of his headstone & information on his burial. JD is my great-grandfather. If there is anyone out there who could share a story of him, Id be appreciative.

I am related to John Phillip Brandon. His youngest daughter, Elizabeth Brandon was my grandmother. I am trying to get more information on the Brandon's and Kelley's from Pemiscott, MO. I have information on my mother's Uncle Fonnie and Aunt Lena as well as her Uncle Tom and Aunt Cora. My grandmother Elizabeth died during the flu epidemic of 1930 along with her mother Luella and Tom's son John Brandon. Please contact me at watersonclan@yahoo.com.

How do you research prior to 1883?

Gen4You — 2013-05-06 14:38:48Z

So I just discovered the courthouse in Pemiscot Co burned in 1883. Between that and no 1900 census, I'm having a heck of a time trying to trace my family.

My question for you is... what do you use to find family prior to 1885? My gg-gf was born in Steele MO in 1885, and I believe living with an aunt and uncle by 1900. I've gotten his ss5, and it does have names for his parents, who I can find zero records for. Since there *ARE* no records before the courthouse burned, how do I search for these people? They weren't the kind of family to make it into the biography or history books... although, that doesn't stop me from looking.

I know nothing about them, except a possible name. And not sure how to find them... if there is even a way....

I do not if the offer is still open about doing lookups but I'm looking for an obit for William Chester Miller died 11 Jan 1989 Steele Mo his wife's name was or is?? Qualie. Any help would be great Thank You

Re: Free Pemiscot County Lookups

Gen4You — 2013-04-25 16:43:25Z

I should add by 1902, Jess is married to Louvenia Lipscomb, and by 1907 they have moved to Arkansas. I can't find any trace of Jess in Missouri at all, with the possible exception of the 1900 census, if that is him. It's times like this that I truly miss the 1890 census!

Re: Cooter resident, free look-ups

Gen4You — 2013-04-22 17:31:32Z

Thank you. I did have that information, and according to Thomas' pension application, he was only in Missouri for a couple of years. But I've been unable to locate Martha's death in TN at all. Or in Missouri as far as that goes. I appreciate you taking the time to help!

Re: Cooter resident, free look-ups

CharlotteWinstead67 — 2013-04-22 17:02:22Z

June 14,1900, Thomas and Martha were in Crockett Co. TN. On April 16,1910, Thomas was widowed and living in Steele with his daughter Mary Ann and her second husband James Ballentine. Thomas married second wife, Adenia Medlin, on October 17, 1910 in Crockett Co. So Martha died between June 14, 1900 and April 16, 1910. I suspected she died in Crockett Co. and Thomas moved to Steele after her death. I will search for her in TN.

Re: Free Pemiscot County Lookups

Gen4You — 2013-04-21 20:21:15Z

Charlotte, I have a trouble family from Steele, Missouri.

I'm looking for parents of Jess Herbert Warren. He was born in Jan 1885. According to the SS5, his parents are Jim (James?) and ? (maybe Leah) Oneal. I find a Jesse Warren in 1900 living with an aunt and uncle (surname Cravens), but I don't know for sure if it's my Jess or not.

I'd love any help you can find.

Re: Cooter resident, free look-ups

Gen4You — 2013-04-21 20:16:50Z

That is so very kind of you!!! If you are still doing look ups, I'm searching for the death of Martha Lipscomb, maiden name Sloan. She married Thomas Easton Lipscomb. She may have died in Cooter between 1900-1910. I know this may not be possible to find, but thought I'd ask. :) They had several children who settled in the Cooter area for many years.

Re: Evans / Bush

straberiwine — 2013-04-11 00:05:36Z

I have all that. She married Gordon Milam and had a daughter. I have their marriage record and I remember when she died and I was at her funeral in 1983. I'm just trying to find a confirmed birth place. I was too young when she died to care to ask and now everybody that knew is gone as well.

Yes, The first Thomas is *my* Thomas. I've searched for all variations of Cola I can think of. However, I can find nothing. I did find a Coleman in Virginia, however after researching his family, I've concluded that's not the right man.

Herbie Balentine 21, TN - son
Delsie Stewart 16, TN - s/dau
Clevie Stewart 7, ARK - s/dau

Mary is the dau to Thomas E Lipscomb.

This is when Henry Lipscomb lived right next door. Thomas moved from Crockett Co, TN to MO, then back again once he married. He died in Gadsden TN. His death certificate says he's the son of "Cola Lipscomb" of which I can find *NO* records of.

I can't find Thomas' parents at all. Or I've found them and I just don't know it. I've researched the lineage of several Lipscomb families around this area, and none are working out to be my line..

Can't find Tn Vital Records -
The Vital Statistics Law, established by Chapter 30, Public Acts of 1913, was passed and became effective January 1, 1914, for statewide registration of birth & death registration.
The Tennessee Office of Vital Records retains birth records from 1914. (NOTE: Beginning in 2014, birth records will begin transferring to the Tennessee State Library & Archive since we retain the birth records for 100 years. Then they will transfer on a year by year schedule.) Death records are only retained by our office for 50 years. Once the death records become 50 years old they are transferred to the Library & Archive also. Presently we have death records from 1960 to the present.
Once the records are transferred to the L & A, they become true public records and anyone can access them.

I'm sorry. It was the 1910 census in which Thomas (or T.E. as he's often known) is living with his daughter Mary Balentine. Henry Lipscomb and his family are living right next door.

To continue -
You wrote - "Next to Thomas in Missouri, was a man named Henry Lipscomb. " WHAT CENSUS YEAR???

NOTE - -
1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces.

Step children are not enumerated as “step” children
Adopted children are not enumerated as “adopted”
Grand children are not enumerated as “grand children”
Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan"

1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members

Lipscombs of Cooter and Steel Missouri

Gen4You — 2013-03-20 02:46:53Z

I'm looking for information on a Thomas E Lipscomb born about 1845 in TN, married to Martha. They had 6 children. Mary Ann, Frclia F (sp??), G R, Albert S, Martha Donie, and Lavenia. This family lived in Crockett TN until about 1900-1910 when they moved to Cooter, Pemiscot, Missouri.

Next to Thomas in Missouri, was a man named Henry Lipscomb. They were next door neighbors, listed immediately next to each other. Henry's wife was Mary Teague. They had 6 children also. Barley, William Floyd, Charles, Thomas Barney, Jesse, and Walter H. Although I haven't found the connection, I'm sure that Thomas and Henry are related in some way.

Does anyone have any information on Lipscombs in the TN or MO area?? Thomas's dad was born in Virginia... but I don't have his name yet.
