Welcome cousin. I suppose you know the Capt. Charles's parents were Martha M.Farris and james Gatliff. Looks like the Farris family stayed around the Gatliffs. Do you have a copy of the story about the kidnapping of Capt Charles's family? If you do not, give me your e-mail and I will send it to you. pat B.

Hi, just found this post and thought I'd jump in. I am a descendant of Capt. Charles Gatliff of the Ky Gatliff line. Would be interested in any extra info. Charles Gatliff's daughter Sarah and son Moses are both in my family lineage. Sincerely, Troy Muse

Re: Family Reunion?

jorgegrande — 2009-05-17 23:47:30Z

Thanks for the reply Samantha. No, I don't know W.D. Jr. There is/was another GATLIFF family in the Conway AR area, but I never found a close family connection to them and I just looked in the phone book and they are no longer there.

If you would like to compare notes you may contact me direct at jorgegrande@comcast.net I have traced my line back to Wales in the 1600s. They came from Wales through England, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Texas (there's still a large group of them there), then into Arkansas in the mid to late 1800s. George

Re: Family Reunion?

S_GatliffYoung — 2009-05-17 05:36:50Z

No, I am not in the UK, I am in Colorado. I do have a lot of family in AR. Are you related to William D. Gatliff, Jr?
I am his only daughter. Like you I thought we had a very small family but have found out we are much larger that originally thought.

I would love to get to know more of my family.

Re: Family Reunion?

jorgegrande — 2009-05-17 01:50:07Z

Hi Samantha. I was Web surfing and accidentally found your July 2008 message. Are you still out there? Are you in the UK? I'm in the USA. I'm not interested in a reunion but thought I would tell you that there many, many of us around the world. When I first started my GATLIFF genealogy research I too thought we were few and far between, but I found cousins by the dozens! If you are interested, I would be happy to correspond with you. You may contact me direct at jorgegrande@comcast.net George Gatliff - Arkansas - USA

Just read your post on 7 July 2008 re Moses, son of Aaron, son of Capt. Charles Gatliff.

Sarah was my ggggrandmother. Our line goes through Sarah's daughter Jane who married John Rosen Evans. I even have a picture of Sarah.

Which of Sarah's children are you related to? It is fun to find distant relatives that you never knew. Let me know if I can help you.

Re: Gatliff, KY

2005-11-08 17:48:34Z

Thanks. There was a Dr. Ancil Gatliff there for awhile, I think. I wonder if he was a descendant of Lee Finley Gatliff. I wonder which Gatliff started the mines.

Re: Gatliff, KY

I was told it was named for Lee Finley Gatliff who supposedly was the first postmaster of the town.

I saw your reply to kbowers from a couple of years ago and I hope that you still come to this site. I am doing research on Capt. Charles Gatliff in hopes of joining the DAR. If all of my info is correct then I am his 6 great grand daughter thru Elizabeth then Christina then Jane. Any info that you have and could share would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at another email which is stoneworth@windstream.net as well as kreynolds1113@earthlink.net
Thank You,

The death certificate of Jane Rains Bunch lists William Rains and Christina Martin as her parents. Is this the same Christina that is the daughter of William and Elizabeth Martin and grand daughter of Capt. Charles Gatliff? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Mose son of Aaron son of Capt. Charles Gatliff

PatBraswell86 — 2008-07-07 18:00:40Z

It was either Jane or "Sis" (the only name we have for her) who died on the trip to Canada. I have the names and birthdates of the Capt.'s ten children if you don't have them. The Cornelius Greenfield Gatliff is my direct ancestor. Pat

Re: Mose son of Aaron son of Capt. Charles Gatliff

PatBraswell86 — 2008-07-07 17:52:09Z

I have gathered info over the years from many many people.
Below is a copy of a letter that was sent to me about the Gatliff family taken during the war. Capt. Charles was not with the family when his wife and children were taken to Canada:
This is a letter written by Adelaide Berry Duncan of Sept 11, 1893 to her son George:
Dear George.
Your papa's grandfather and grandmother, John and Nellie Duncan, and my grandfather and grandmother Frank and Sally Berry, moved from Virginia during the Revolutionary War to Kentucky. I don'tknow just where, but it was somewhere in the best part of the state. There was quite a little colony of them but I don't know the names of any except these two families.They took up claims of land and complied with what was necessary to secure their claimsl I don't know what it was, nor how long they had been there till they were compelled to move for safety to a fort or block-house, where they were taken by British officers and soldiers who had Indians with them to whom the British gave all their household goods except two suits of clothes and two blankets to each man and the same to each woman.
The Indians would toss the pillows in the air after they had ripped the ticking to make the feathers fly in the wind, and how they would laugh. They wanted the cloth but not the feathers. They then started their march to Detroit, where they stayed awhile, and then on to Montreal, where they stayed till peace was declared. They were liberated, to get back the best they could. There was one family along who had a young woman-a daughter who cmplained of a toothache for some weeks, when someone examind her mouth and found a cancer had eaten through her cheek, all but the skin. She died soon after and the officers only allowed them to stop long enough to pile up a few rocks on her body. Charles Gatliff was her father's name. He came back to Kentucky and I saw him after he was eighty years of age. I also saw his sons: Moses, Aaron, Riece, Jim and Cornelious I also saw two of his daughters: Betsey Martin and Sally Faris. I suppose Joe remembers having seen one of his grandsons, Charles Gatliff, who moved to Missouri a short time before we left Iowa for Princeton. His wife was papa's cousin, Polly Early and your uncle, Harvey Green Duncan, married their daughter Lillian."
"I don't know whether the Gatliff family moved from Virginia or Tennessee to Kentucky, or not. I only know that they were together in their captivity." Pat

PatBraswell86 — 2008-07-06 14:16:28Z

Re: Mose son of Aaron son of Capt. Charles Gatliff

billiebrock23 — 2008-07-06 03:37:52Z

I had a genealogist do some research for me and she found court records that proved that Moses was the son of Aaron, Charles's son. It also named the other children of Aaron. I did not gather information on Moses's brothers and sisters. Did you know that Charles's mother and wife are both patriots of the American Revolution? Christina, Charles's wife was a prisoner of war.

Re: Mose son of Aaron son of Capt. Charles Gatliff

eda55 — 2008-07-06 00:45:08Z

This helps me my 3rd ggfather was Aaron born 7-1-1785. do you have any other info on this line. His son Milton has very little that I can find. Marriage date to Sarulda Cummins in 1842, but no death date. My ggfather was born in 1843 in Knox county KY (Aaron Sylvester Gatliff)

Re: Mose son of Aaron son of Capt. Charles Gatliff

eda55 — 2008-07-07 01:34:09Z

I heard that she was taken by Indians for the English and taken north maybe to the Ohio area. Can not remember how they got away. I did not know about his mother. What did she do? I have a copy of a book by Ruth Hart on the Gatliff family, that has helped me quite a bit. Moses had a brother Milton born about 1826. He is my 2nd ggrandfather. There is very little info on him. I have been able to find his marriage then his son (Aaron Sylvester) is living with Betsy Cravens Gatliff at age 7 in the 1850 census. Do you have anything on him?
Who did you use for your research?

Re: Mose son of Aaron son of Capt. Charles Gatliff

eda55 — 2008-07-07 01:11:08Z

Sarulida Cummins married Milton Gatliff (b. abt 1826. They had 1 child a son aaron sylvester gatliff. He foght for the Union and returned to Juliette, GA to marry Martha Bowdion.

Re: Gatliffe

jorgegrande — 2007-07-07 23:48:57Z

Hi Jill: It is strictly "out-house rumor". Some Gatliffs say that after the Revolutionary War, some of our clan stayed in this country and others, who were loyal to the king, returned to England. Those who stayed here dropped the "e" from their name to distance themselves from the "loyalist". I still occasionally see the "e" here in the U.S. I personally think it is only an interesting story. This is no help, only something else for your file!

Re: Gatliffe
