Re: Kitzmiller Cemetery - Carter County

lhugeback — 2009-11-15 01:01:06Z

I apologize for attempting to reach you through this forum, but I'm attempting to find that ancestors of my ggg grandmother Margaret CURRY. I've visited you family tree at ancestry and I realize that may not have a Margaret listed as a daughter of Hugh and Mary KING CURRY of Odgensburg, St. Lawrence, NY, but they fit too well not to be the parents of Margaret.

Here's what I know about my Margaret: Born 1834 in Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence County, NY, and died July 12, 1894 in Port Hope, Canada. She married James OLIVER abt. 1855. He was born 1824 in England, and died May 15, 1905 in Albion, MI. According to the 1881 Canadian census, Margaret was of Irish origin. Also, according to the 1881 Canadian census, it appears that Margaret and James OLIVER were living in Canada before the birth of their first child about 1855:

Household Record 1881 Canadian Census

Household:
Name Marital Status Gender Ethnic Origin Age Birthplace Occupation Religion
James OLIVER M Male English 57 England Shoemaker Presbyterian
Margaret J. OLIVER M Female Irish 47 USA Presbyterian
Elizabeth J. OLIVER Female English 26 Ontario Dressmaker Baptist
Margaret E. OLIVER Female English 23 Ontario Dressmaker Baptist
Annie OLIVER Female English 17 Ontario Baptist
Thomas OLIVER Male English 11 Ontario Presbyterian

Source Information:
Census Place Port Hope, Durham East, Ontario

I’ve also seen Margaret’s last name spelled “CORRY”.

I looked for her as part of the family on the 1850 census, but she did not appear, (below) but she would have been 16 and could have been working and living as a nanny with a relative or friend of the family (couldn't find her anywhere in the area on the 1850 census). She could have also fit between John and Peter in age, though it is possible she is not their child.

1850 United States Federal Census about Hugh CURRY
Name: Hugh CURRY
Age: 46
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1804
Birth Place: Ireland
Gender: Male
Home in 1850(City,County,State): Oswegatchie, Saint Lawrence, New York
Family Number: 492
Household Members: Name Age
Hugh CURRY
46
Mary CURRY
46
John CURRY
17
Peter CURRY
15
Mary Ann CURRY
13
Catherine CURRY
12
Bridget CURRY
10
Jesse Eaton

I'd love to hear from you on this matter and see if I can make the connection or if you know of any other CURRY or CORRY families from Ogdensburg/Oswegatchie township that could fit the bill.

Thanks in advance for your help and cooperation.

I am searching for burial records of Thomas "Jacob" Blackshear b. 01 Jan 1832 & d. 15 Jul 1889 and buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery.

They were members of a Methodist Church. If anyone could help, glad to share information I already have.

Re: Doll Webb, daughter of Lela English - Orlinda

babyz — 2009-10-05 12:49:22Z

That's where I found her death date. Doll L. Webb, Davidson Co., TN is the one.
Lela English is listed in the cemetery book as being next to George S. (Samuel) Webb, 1899-1959. He may be Lela's son-in-law. I can't find him and his first wife in the 1930 census but their son, Paul lived in Robertson Co. when he died in 1991 and George was living in Robertson Co. when died in 1959 and he was married at the time of his death.
Do you have the obit for Lela English?

Re: Doll Webb, daughter of Lela English - Orlinda

mcwasthere — 2009-10-04 21:24:02Z

Sharon,

I didn't know there were TN death certificate indexes online. I Googled it and came up with the info on Tom Leatherwood's site in Shelby County and assume that's where you found the info. When I tried Doll Webb on that site, I came up with three hits. My info came from the SSDI, and the birth date (about 1904) for the Doll in Nashville fits more closely than either of the other two women.

I will appreciate anything you find.

According to the online TN death certificates Doll Webb died 12 Sep 1979 in Davidson Co., TN where she was living.
There is no obit listed in the online index of The Tennessean newspaper for her.
I can check this week to see if it appeared in our weekly newspaper. Will let you know if I find anything.

Doll Webb, daughter of Lela English - Orlinda

mcwasthere — 2009-10-04 02:26:47Z

I am trying to find the death date of Doll/Dollie Webb, daughter of Lela and John A. English. Lela died 26 Aug 1964 and was buried in the Orlinda Cemetery. She was living with her daughter, Dollie, at the time of her death. I think Doll died in September 1979, but I need a complete death date in order to find her obituary. If someone has access to cemetery readings for the Orlinda Cemetery, I would appreciate a check to see if Doll is buried near her mother and her date of death. Also, any other possible family members who might be buried near Lela. They had another daughter, Paula Lazelle (English) Valverde. Thank you.

Re: Gladys Marie Taylor Finger

hakenut — 2009-09-23 14:44:23Z

Okay, at this site http://register.shelby.tn.us/index.php

It shows she died in HUMPHREYS county and lived in HENRY county, TN. You may need to request her Death Certificate to get the info. for the cemetery. It should also have the funeral home listed. I still can't find her burial site and thought it was unusual that she wasn't listed with her husband. Maybe she lived with a family member in Henry county. You might contact the Adamsville cemetery and have them check their records. I can't find a phone number for the cemetery but someone on the McNairy county board should be able to help.
I've found many of my relatives can't be found at Find a grave, even tho I know they are buried in a certain cemetery.

Re: Cemetery in Lee Valley, Hawkins, Tennessee - Brown Family

wendypj — 2009-07-30 17:07:00Z

Brenda,

There is a Brown's Mountain Cemetery east of Rogersville, TN. on Brown's Mt. Road. It is near Brown's Mt. Church. There are many Browns and Starnes buried there but none of the names you mentioned. There are several unmarked graves. Oh, and yes, there is a Brown's Mountain.

There is also a Brown Cemetery north of Rogersville, up near Sneadville. Your Thomas E. Brown 1822-1900 and wife Eliza 1821-1870 are buried there.

If you will email me privately I will see if I can scan the cemetery pages and send them to you.

Good luck with your research,

He was married to Nancy L Davis who was born 1849 and died 1888 in Hawkins, Tennessee. He was also marred to Martha Elizabeth Starnes who was born 16 Aug 1867 in Eidson, Hawkins, Tennessee, died 13 Feb 1946 in Lee Valley, Hawkins, Tenneessee and was also buried in Lee Valley. James is the son of Thomas E (born in 1822 and died 1900 -- born, raised, died and buried in Lee Valley, Tennessee) and Eliza (unknown maiden name -- born in 1827 and died 1870 in Tennesee). Martha Elizabeth is the daughter of Pleasant Henderson Starnes (born 29 Nov 1839 and died 7 Feb 1907 in Hawkins, Tennessee) and Mary Jane Starnes (maiden name -- born 30 Jul 1845 and died 25 Sep 1882 in Hawkins, Tennessee).

I am needing to know if there is a Brown Cemetery located in Lee Valley, Hawkins, Tennessee.
