I am looking for an information on Furney F. Gatlin born abt. 1849 in Georgia. He moved to Monroe County, Ms abt. 1880 and eventually moved to OK abt. 1899.

I believe his real name might have been Furney T. Gatlin, because later he uses his middle name which is Thomas in Census records. His first marriage I am not sure who he married. In 1880 it states an L.V. as his wife. I have found a marriage record for his second marriage in 1899 in Leflore County, OK to a Margaret Edge, which is really the person I was looking for. It looks like Thomas F. Gatlin had 2 sons from his first marriage, Gabriel S. Gatlin and Thomas Randale Gatlin, who later went by Randale in the census records and his WWI draft card.

If anyone has any information they would like to share to see if I have the right Gatlins, I thank you in advance.

Don't know if this will help but I had this in my Gatlin file

Dear Elaine 768,

Thank you so much replying. Although the information you have posted does not help me at this point, it may come in later once I find out who my Furney/Thomas Gatlin was descended from.

I noticed that the document information you have sent seems to be date September 1815 which is before my Gatlin's time. This could possibly be a father or uncle or grandfather, but I have not reached that point in my search yet.

Again thank you so much for replying so quickly with information.

Just curious are you from the Gatlin line in case I find out that the information you sent belongs to the line I am working on, I would like to keep you up to date, if that is o.k.?

I am of the Churchwell (Churchill) Gatlin line. I do have a Furney Ford Gatlin in my line born 3 Aug 1851, Upson Co., Ga., died in Calvin, Ok son of Lemuel Moore Gatlin and Elizabeth Jackson. Lemuel Gatlin's father was Churchill (Churchwell) Gatlin. Somehow I think he is connected to Stephen Gatlin, but have been unable to find any proof of this.
Elaine

Who did your Furney Ford Gatlin marry? Because the Gatln I am looking for possibly lived in Calvin, Oklahoma, I found in 1910 my Thomas lived in Newburg, Hughes county, OK and that one of his sons, Thomas Randale did lived around Calvin, OK, that is where he registered for WWI draft. I cannot find my Furney or his wife in any of the 1920 census records, but in 1930 I find his wife Margaret living with the step-son Thomas Randale. in Newburg, Hughes county again and she is now abt. 69.

Sorry, I don't have any info on this Furney other than his parents

Most of this is compiled and imported into my Family Tree Maker 2006 (not that worhtless 2008 release!). So, maybe this will help....

2 i. Thomas Mitchell Gatlin, born Abt. 1815 in GA; died Abt. 1875 in Louisiana; married Martha Winifred Gatlin 14 March 1838 in Bibb Co., GA.


6. Furney F. Gatlin, born Aft. 1786 in NC. He was the son of 8. Stephen Gatlin and 9. Mary Harris.

Notes for Furney F. Gatlin:
Given no other likely antecedents, I speculate that Furney F. Gatlin
who appears in the Pulaski Co. GA tax rolls in 1816 in the same district as Stephen Gatlin is another son of Stephen Gatlin and Mary Harris Gatlin. He also appears in the 1820 federal census for Pulaski Co., GA, under the name Farney T. Gatlin. I know nothing else about him except there is another Furney F. Gatlin listed under the children of Thos. Mitchell Gatlin and his wife/cousin Martha Winifred Gatlin which makes it likely to my mind that the name belongs to this particular line stemming from Stephen and Mary Harris Gatlin.

Since it is a custom among people of this period to name children after grandparents, I'm assuming that Furney F. II was named after his maternal grandfather, Furney F., and that Furney F.I is the father of Martha Winifred Gatlin and therefore the son of Stephen Gatlin and Mary Harris of Pulaski co., GA.

The older son in the family of Thos. Mitchell and Martha Gatlin , Thomas Hardy Gatlin, is named after his father and paternal grandfather, John Hardy Gatlin. Since Furney is such an unusual name in the Gatlin line, I am assuming that Furney F.I is the father of Martha Winifred Gatlin. There is also the corroborating evidence of his proximity in Pulaski Co. to the Stephen Gatlin family.

Generation No. 4

8. Stephen Gatlin, born Aft. 1760 in NC; died Aft. 1823 in GA. He was the son of 16. Captain Edward Gatlin and 17. Elizabeth Johnson. He married 9. Mary Harris 04 April 1786 in Craven Co., NC.
9. Mary Harris She was the daughter of 18. John Harris and 19. Mary Gatlin.

Notes for Stephen Gatlin:
I have ascribed three sons to Stephen Gatlin and Mary Harris of Greeneand Pulaski Counties, GA, on the basis of circumstantial evidence. There is no contempporary documentation such as a will that names them. There is the will of Stephen Harris, Mary's nephew, 1846 that names Mary as his heir. However, Mary is already deceased, and two of her grandchildren, Thomas Mitchell Gatlin and Martha Winifred Gatlin step forward to claim her portion.

It is a tradition among some of John Hardy(Hardee) Gatlin's descendants that he is a son of Stephen and Mary Harris Gatlin.
Researcher Eva Loe McDuffie who laid the foundations for Gatlin research in this country claims that Edward Gatlin was a son of Stephen and Mary Harris Gatlin.

My identification of Furney F. GAtlin as their son is really based on the two grandchildren who come forward to claim Mary Harris Gatlin's portion in the Stephen Harris estate settlement 1846. Thomas Mitchell Gatlin is the son of John Hardy Gatlin, which proves that John Hardy is truly a son of Stephen and Mary. Martha Winifred Gatlin is his 1st cousin who marries him in Bibb Co., GA ,in 1838.
They name one of their sons Thomas Hardy after his father and two grandfathers. The second son is named Furney F. The name is unusual enough in the Gatlin line for it to warrant me to identify the first Furney F. as the father of Martha Winifred and therefore the son of Stephen and Mary Gatlin. The 1st Furney F. is in the census and on the tax list of Pulaski Co., GA which gives further circumstantial evidence in this direction.

Marriage Notes for Edward Gatlin and Margaret Walker:
Edward Gatlin, son of Stephen and Mary Harris, and his wife MargaretWalker lived in Morgan Co., GA ,after their marriage. Later they moved to Russell Co., AL

Although I do not know another son of Stephen and Mary Gatlin to whom I can attribute Martha Winifred Gatlin, the fact that Martha Winifred marries Thos Mitchell Gatlin in Bibb Co. makes me question this attribution. Usually marriages take place in the bride'shome county, and we have no evidence that Edward and Margaret ever lived in Bibb Co. although it is certainly possible they did.

Children of Captain Gatlin and Elizabeth Johnson are:
i. Shadrack Gatlin, born Bef. 1760 in Craven Co., NC; died Aft. 1832 in GA; married Laney Worsley; born Aft. 1760 in NC .; died Aft. 1832 in GA.

Notes for Shadrack Gatlin:
Shadrack may be the oldest of the children of Captain Edw. Gatlin and Eliz. Johnson of Pitt Co., NC. He was of age along with his brother Levi when his dad's will was probated in 1781. Sue Guptill,a skilled researcher of Craven Co., NC, and nearby co.'s speculates that he may be Eliz.'s child by a former marriage since there is some confusion in the will about his surname. However, it is the Gatlin name which stuck.

I wonder if Shadrack is not also the father of Churchwell(Churchill) Gatlin who marries Martha Patsey Moore in Greene Co. GA in 1802.
Church Gatlin dies abt. 1816 leaving several children. Given the fact that any other attribution reg. Church's parentage seems questionable, his proximity to Shadrack in Greene Co. and his age
point towards the possibility of Shadrack and Laney Worsley being his parents. However, none of the names given to Church's and Martha"s children echoes the line of Capt. Edw. Gatlin/Eliz. Johnson, which opens up the possibility that Church may come from another branch of the family or simply be creative in the names he and Martha give their children.

Notes for Levi Gatlin:
DEATH: Levi Gatlin's will was probated on Jan, 29, 1829 acc. toresearcher Charla Shamhart (see Greene Co., GA, Message Board, Rootsweb.com, July 23, 2000). County may have been Greene, GA.

Note: in the 1790 Fed Census for Pitt Co., NC, Levi Gatlin is listed as having three sons and one daughter, all under 16 yrs.

Note: Gourt Martial Records for General George Washington's Continental Army ,Aug.15, 1778, show Lt. Levi Gatlin of NC as having been dismissed from the army for neglect of duty and disobeying orders. Apparently, the officer who gave him an order was unknown to him.

Notes for Barbara Worsley:
The Worsleys: Barbara, Laney, Dorcas , and Benjamin make their appearancein Gatlin research through the will of Dorcas Worsley Chapman, Beaufort Co., NC 1822 and the estate settlement of Benjamin Worsley, 1832. These two documents establish the parentage of Dorcas Gatlin who married her 1st cousin once removed, Major Gatlin, in Greene Co., GA , 1808. They also make clear who the two brothers, Shadrach and Levi Gatlin, oldest sons of Captain Edw. Gatlin and Eliz. Johnson , Pitt Co., NC, married.

The Worsleys named were all siblings. They appear to have come from Pitt Co., NC. The probability is that they are descended from one of the three sons of Thomas Worsley Sr., Bath, NC. The sons were Thomas ,John, and Joseph, all born between 1715-1720 in the area of Bath, NC. My hypothesis is that they are the children of a grandson, John Worsley II b. aft.1735 who appears to be the John Worsley who shows up in Pitt Co., NC by 1762.

Notes for John Gatlin:
My data on the children and marriage of John Gatlin Jr. was greatlyenriched by the research of Sue Guptill who has shown that Mary Reel was too young in 1739 or before to marry anyone. She appears to have been born abt. 1727.

Notes for Mary Unknown:
There is good reason to think that Mary Unknown may be Mary Mitchell.That she is Mary Reel has been discredited by researcher Sue Guptill who believes that Mary Reel was a child of twelve in 1739 when she was supposed to have married John Gatlin, Jr.

Richard Caswell Gatlin, son of John Slade Gatlin, attests that his grandparents were John Gatlin and Mary Mitchell. Sue Guptill thinks he skipped a generation and really meant his grgrandparents since it is proved his grandfather was Thomas Gatlin of Lenoir Co., son of John Gatlin, Jr. further evidence is the naming of Richard Gatlin's younger sister, Mary Mitchell Gatlin. In addition the name Mitchell recurs again and again in the Thomas Gatlin line all the way to MS And TX. So far, no actual proof has been found.

Among the early North Carolina records is a deed recorded in Deed Book W, p. 282, Chowan County. North Carolina. "Jacob Odam of Chowan County for 106 lbs of tar at Collin's landing in Virginia (Nansemond) by William Gatlin, a certain tract of land at a marked tree in Mill's Swamp on Beaver Dam Branch, extending to Collins corner tree: then to the line of Moses Odam then to Moses Hare, etc., said land granted by patent to Jacob Odam on 13 August 1714," Test: Samuel Herring, Charles Mores and William Gatlin.

4. III (2) Edward Gatlin II, born circa 1680 in Virginia. Died 1727, Craven Co. , N.C., in the Precinct of Bath.

Bertie County formed from Chowan Co., in 1722.

The earliest Gatlins in North Carolina came in from Virginia. In the Land Grant Office, Richmond, Virginia, Book 5 p. 59, is a grant of land 250 acres on the North side of Warrisquick River to John Gatlin, the said land being formerly granted to John Bridgers, This Grant is dated August 21st, 1653. In Grant Book 8, p, 252, dated 1680, William Gatlin and William Oldis were given a grant of land together.

In the North Carolina History and General Register, p. 195, Book 2. is a petition for protection against the Indians, signed by Edward Gatlin. This petition is undated. In 1713, William Gatlin was a witness to a deed in Chowan County, North Carolina, and in the year 1747. a road was made from his house. On the 22nd of June 1722, John Gatlin conveyed to John Edwards, 258 acres of land on Morratuck, South side of Welsh River - Book 2, p. 145. On 25 October 1733 in Chowan County, North Carolina, Deed Book W, p. 282, Jacob Odam conveyed land to William Gatling and the conveyance was witnessed by Samuel Herring and William W. Gatling.

This William Gatling is apparently the Gatlin who married Charity Goodman, and whose will appears in Gates County, dated 1788 (N. C. History and General Reg.). His children were: sons, John, William, Edward and George, his grandsons, Edward, son of John, and Miles, son of John.

Book 1. page 221 Edward Gatlin to Charles Stevens for 18 pounds 100 acres of land in a tract granted to Richard Braswell on 29 November, 1706. Deed registered 25 --- 1745.

In 1713, William Gatlin was a witness to a deed in Chowan County. N. C., and in the year 1747. a road was made from his house. John Gatlin of Nuse conveyed to John Edwards, 258 acres of land on Morratuck, South side of Welsh River - Book 2. p. 145.

On 25 October 1733 in Chowan County, North Carolina, Deed Book W, p. 282, Jacob Odam conveyed land to William Gatling and the conveyance was witnessed by Samuel Herring and William W. Gatling.

Mill's Swamp is in what is now Gates County, North Carolina, according to the N.C. History & Gen. Reg. , Book 1, p. 106-116. Beaver Dam Swamp was at or near the Gates County line on Warwick Swamp. (N. C. History & Gen. Reg., Book 1, p. 6, and Book 2, p. 284).

William Gatlin II, who bought the land of Jacob Odam is evidently the son of William who received the grant of land on the William Collin’s line in Virginia in 1680. He apparently had a son, William III, born by 1702, died in Gates County. in 1788, married Charity, the granddaughter of Henry Goodman. William Gatlin II must have had 2 sons, John, born by 1710 (3) Edward, born by 1706, both died before the 1790 census. John, Edward and William Gatlin (Gatling) were conveying land in Northampton County, North Carolina as early as 1740.

There are basically two branches of the Gatlin(g) family descending from William Gatlin(g) b. 1640. By 1683, the family was purchasing land in Chowan Co., NC. William Gatling I died abt. 1700. His older son William II b. 1674/80 remained in the area of the Chowan River. He founded the line of Gatlings whose descendants inhabit Chowan, Bertie, Hertford, Gates, Northampton Counties and other adjacent counties in the general area.

William II had a brother named Edward b. 1674/80 who was in the Bath Precinct of NC by 1703 and later settled along the Neuse River in Craven Co. upstream from New Bern, NC. Edward was later a Justice of the Peace in Craven Co.

A Craven Co. genealogist named Ralph Mann, now deceased, reported in the early 1980's that he thought Edward to be the first sheriff of Craven Co. That statement cannot verified. Edward is the founder of the Craven Co. line of Gatlins. As in the Chowan River area, this Gatlin line spread to adjoining counties such as Lenoir, Pitt, Dobbs, Beaufort and others. Many moved south and west following the American Revolution.

The Chowan River Gatlings prefer on the whole to favor the spelling of the name that includes the final "g' while the Gatlins of the Craven Co. branch tend to drop the final "g.

Notes for John Gatling:
The Gatlin Family of America
by Eva Loe McDuffie (Mrs. C. N.)
Chapter 1

The Gatlin Family
Virginia and North Carolina
According to English and Welch surnames by Bardsley the name of Catlin - Gatlin - Gatling have the same origin.
The Crest as given by Fairbairn is a Lions head erased and collored and lined - Plate 7 - Crest 10.

I. Emigrant John Gatlin born about 1616, died after 1698. This John Gatlin is the first of the Gatlin name to appear in Virginia in the land grant office. He evidently settled about 1636 in Nansemond County and Isle of Wight County, Virginia.

In Cavaliers and Pioneers of Virginia (By N. M. Nugent) p. 116 Vol. I. is the record of a patent to Delamunday with the following statements, "Lawson assignment to Delamunday who states his land was bought of John Gatlin". "William Dawson, planter of Isle of Wight, assigned the above patent to said Gatling of the same County 2 May 1637. "

In the same book, p. 47, John Bridges, 250 acres in Warrisquick County. 13 September 1636, joining to the North side of his former land, abutting the Northwest side of Warrisquick River and into the woods Northwest by North, 50 acres for his per adv. Note: 12 August 1663, this patent was made over in John Gatlin, his name.

In patent Book 6, p. 40 for period 1666-1679, John Gatlin 450 acres in Nansemond County on a marsh of Chuckatuck Creek over against Mage Dawson's land and lying along Gibson's line for transportation of nine persons.

Patent Book 6, p. 460. To John Gatlin 250 acres in Nansemond County, this land formerly granted to John Bridgers and lately found to Elizabeth, his mother, 28 October 1672.

From Seventh Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia, page 147, dated Nov. 10, 1676 - "Received letter from Governor per Colonel Morrison and sent a proclamation to Nansemond County, Virginia, on the 15th. Sent Proclamation to Isle of Wight County. The gentleman from Accomac desired men. On the 16th sent Mr. Kearney to speak with Mr. Gatlin (John Gatlin - only Gatlin old enough) and a yawl to meet him at Nansemond. 21st - Mr. Kearney came and desired we should not attack at Nansemond. Mr. Kearney and Mr. Gatlin went at night to fetch Colonel Dews home," Also see pages 580 - 659 - 681.

(These were happenings during Bacons Rebellion - said to be forerunner to the American Revolution)

John Gatlin had a son William. This notation from William and Mary Magazine, Vol. 7, page 243 in the Will of Colonel John Bridgers Oct. 18, 1683 - "To my son Samuel Bridgers, the plantation bought by me of John and William Gatlin where John Cook now lives. "

John Gatlin went to North Carolina by 1683. From N. C. Historical and Genealogical Register - Vol. I-IV. page 613 filed at Edonton. North Carolina:

Joseph Chew and wife Elizabeth deed to John Gatlin land on west side of Richa Hock Creek, March 15, 1683. Test Thomas Cullen, Jr. and William Gatlin. 1698 John Gatlin 200 acres of land for transporting 4 persons to Virginia. This land lying in Nansemond County, Va. near Mr. Walter Beasley.

From another Gatlin/Gatling/Gatland Researcher...
John came originally in July 1635 on the Ship Assurance de Loc. He bought land and later sold it and we believe he then returned to England and married there. We think he returned to the Americas before 12 August 1663. He bought land from John Bridges on 22 Oct l666 in Nansemond County. No return of his wife is indicated leading us to think that she was deceased. Followup probably should be done in the area of Sussex where her family was located.

Notes for Gerard Gatland:
Notes from the research of Larry B. Gatlin :
The Gatland family has been around the area of Cuckfield, Sussex, England since the late 1200's according to a researcher who has contacts in the area. In 1990, Larry consulted a genealogical research firm in Canterbury, Kent, England ,called Achievements LTD. The researcher, Mr. Andrew Ross, said that believed the name to refer to people who live in "gated or enclosed land", indicating agrarian origins for the name He said the name may have other origins but he felt this was the most likely.

Land in England was not much fenced or enclosed until after the Norman Conquest of 1066. Another interpretation of the name may refer to people who live near enclosed land, a location which may have been unusual enough to raise comment and to become a way of identifying a family.

Mr. Ross the researcher also stated that the name is mainly found in the southeastern sector of England, spreading from the north midlands county of Stafford southeastward through Nottinghamshire,Norfolk, Suffolk, into the home counties around London. It's hard to say where the name originated, possibly in several locations at once when the ordinary classes of the English began to take surnames because of population growth and for easier identification of individuals.

Some modern researchers believe the name originates in County Sussex south of London in the environs of the village of Cuckfield. Certainly it has been associated with the area since the late 13th century.

The spelling Gatlin or Gatling does not find its way into written records in England until the early 1700's. Probably the name came to be spelled the way it was pronounced, sometimes dropping the final "d" in a more relaxed pronunciation, or adding the "g" where local dialect tends to add a "g" to a soft "n" ending as in county Staffordshire. The colloquial spelling of the name seems to have caught on in VA earlier than in England.
