Cemetery lookup please?

wheatshocker — 2013-05-01 01:52:39Z

Can someone do a cemetery lookup for Samuel Bradley 1785-1886?
I created Findagrave memorial for him in Hartsville Cemetery, but I'm not absolutely sure he is actually buried there. I just need confirmation if he is buried there or somewhere else. Also, his second wife Martha Elizabeth Bradley should be buried there too.

Thanks,
-wheatshocker

Seeking information on Susan A. Merriman (Merryman) m. Charles G. Brooks 8 Feb 1868 Smith, TN. Am flailing about trying to find the family of my great-grandmother, Ida Caldonia Brooks, b. January, 1872 Tennessee, m. Alfred Pickens Seabolt (Cherokee) about 1890. 1900 Census has them listed as "Alford and Ida Sebolt" with their four sons in Indian Territory. All we know of Ida is what is contained in that census as she died in childbirth in 1903. Family "talk" lists her father as Charles and mother as Susan Merryman, as does www.findagrave.com - though I cannot verify the source used. Any help appreciated.

Re: Rocky Creek Community

mnewman53 — 2007-08-31 15:02:12Z

Rocky Creek is located southwest of Hartsville, off of hiwy 231.
You might also be interested in Payne's Store at the intersection of 25 and 231. My great grandfather and grandfather were born in the Rocky Creek area. I am also interested in information about this area. My ancestors are Zachary Taylor Newman, Alford Lowe Newman, And William Newman. We are also kin to the Proctors, and Duncans. It you know anything that might help me please let me know. Mike Newman

We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else.

KinMapper — 2007-01-15 16:07:28Z

We may be the leading Kittrell resource out there and we are free to descendants and spouses and helpful to everybody else.

We have a family tree of nearly 35000 (35K) Kittrell descendants and spouses that is totally private and a MyFamily site that is private and free and available to all Kittrell descendants and spouses.

Just post or e-mail if you fit the bill and want to see thousands of bits of Kittrell info.

The area of the future Gates County of North Carolina is the origin in the USA of the largest Kittrell family and Bertie County, NC was the home of one or more of the next generation, and later they moved on through Craven, Pitt, Granville, Carteret, Davidson and other NC counties as land grew to scarce for the number of male heads of household to feel that they could prosper.

After that period of homesteading in various counties, many in some branches moved to other states including many times over Tennessee, with Sumner appearing to be one of the first stops and many times over Maury County and other coumties including listed alphabetically Anderson, Cannon, Coffee, Davidson, DeKalb, Hamilton, Henry Hickman, Jackson, Knox, Lawrence, Lewis, Loudon, Macon, Marshall, Maury, Meigs, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Perry, Rutherford, Shelby, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Wayne, White, Williamson, Wilson and Weakley Counties, among many other, later became the home of many Kittrells of one line or another or multiple lines.

Anyone with Kittrell in their lore please write or post or both!

Anyone with Kittrell in any Tennessee document is welcome to write and to share info on an area rich in Kittrells, complicated to delineate from which Kittrell they descend and of which we have a large knowledge. We lose track of some of the female Kittrell lines consistently in every generation and would like to add them back to the family tree.

The name has many spellings through the centuries in public record including as examples only Kittrell, Kittrel, Kitrel, Kitrell, Kitterlin, Kitterill, Kitterell,..., leterally dozens or literally dozens depending how well you spell such things.

We will assist anyone on Kittrell matters (for free of course other than the wealth we get from both of us sharing some of what we know).

And we will be most pleased to find more missing links broken from our tree due to distance and change of generations to those who barely know a whit of their Kittrell kin.

p.150
Elizabeth J. Duffy, Administratrix of James B. Duffy, versus Albert G., Elizabeth, William, Adela, Mary J., and Almira Duffy, minors. The deceased James B.
