Notes for MARTHA BUSTER: I am confused about these birth dates. Maybe Martha Mattie was not Martha's mother or maybe Martha's birth date is incorrect, as this birth date would make Martha Mattie 57 when Martha was born. Children of MARTHA BUSTER and JOHN SHADDOWN are: i. GEORGE T.5 SHADDOWN, b. 1857, Pulaski County, KY; d. Unknown. ii. REUBEN H. SHADDOWN, b. 1859, Pulaski County, KY; d. Unknown. iii. LELA C.

SOPHRONIA (PHRONIE) ELIZABETH4 TATE (ALEXANDER3, ROBERT (JR.)2, ROBERT (SR.)1) was born 1810 in TN or VA/Tennessee, and died 1879 in Wayne or Iron County, MO. She married THOMPSON DUNNEGAN 1835 in Warren County, TN, son of ABSALOM DUNNEGAN. He was born 1809 in Wythe County, VA, and died Unknown in MO. Notes for SOPHRONIA (PHRONIE) ELIZABETH TATE: See notes on the Family of Thompson and Sophronia Dunnegan under Thompson Dunnegan. Notes for THOMPSON DUNNEGAN: The Family of Thompson and Sophronia Dunnegan, compiled by Carol E. Vaughan, Lexington, KY Thompson lived with his father, Absalom, and remaining family members in White or Warren Counties, TN until around 1835 when he started his own family. His mother apparently died before 1830. Thompson married Sophronia Elizabeth Tate, daughter of Alexander Tate and Delilah Henderson. She was born around 1810 in VA or TN. It was said that Sophronia was "born with a veil" which, according to Appalachian folklore, could mean that she may have had an extra sensory "gift" or "powers." Certainly, she was held in high esteem since two of her granddaughters were named for her. Thompson and Sophronia had seven children, six of which were born in TN. Thompson and Sophronia made their home in Warren County, TN in the Civil District 2 community of Campaign. He appears on the Tax Lists of 1836 and 1838 which show him as having 100 acres of land. The only record of land transactions found in TN was a Trust Deed dated April 25, 1838 in which a George Cole pays off a debt Thompson owed to Miller and Pennen for interest and possible sale of property. They lived in Warren County at the time of the 1850 Census but moved to Missouri shortly after that count. Their seventh child, Leander was born in MO in 1854. In the 1860 Census they are shown living in Iron County, MO with all seven children. By 1870, the family had settled in the town of Greenville in Wayne County, MO. Jane, Mary L., and Irvin were still living with them. James Elgin and William Samuel were married and living in Iron County. Sarah C. had married George B. Wallace by that time. The 1870 Census shows a Samuel Spears, farm laborer from TN, living with Thompson and Sophronia. We believe that Samuel was the son of Nancy Dunnegan and James Spears. At this time, Nancy is thought to have been Thompson's sister. The dates and places of death for Thompson and Sophronia are unknown. The last record of Sophronia is shown on a deed dated March 22, 1879 in which she and Thompson sold a parcel of land in Wayne County to Emmanuel Lovelace. In another deed dated June 22, 1880, Thompson and his second wife, Sarah (Sallie) E. Foquaide sell a parcel of land to Irvin George Dunnegan. No evidence has been found to pinpoint the date of his death...only that he was still living in 1880. Nor, have any cemetery records been found showing their burial in Wayne or Iron Counties. There is a possibility that both were buried in a part of Old Greenville, located on the St. Francis River, which has been under water since the creation of Wappapello Dam. A record of Thompson's marriage to Sarah E. Foquaide was found in Iron County. They were married April 14, 1880. The 1880 Census shows Thompson as head of household, 70 years old, farmer from VA, with his wife Sarah, 48 years old from TN. Also are listed two children, John (17) son, and Frances (11) daughter. The surname Dunnegan is shown for these children, but I do not believe that Thompson adopted them since their real names show up on later records. It is possible that Thompson died in St. Louis. Sally is shown living there in the 1890 Census but, most likely, she moved there after Thompson died. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Warren County, TN 1840 Census, Reel 35 UK, pg. 333; 1 m <5, James Elgan;1 m 30/40 Thompson - head; 1 f 5/10, Delila Jane; 1 f 30/40, Sophronia.

Notes for DELILAH JANE DUNNEGAN: Notes from Carol E. Vaughan Delila Jane (Jane) may have been the family's "old maid." In the 1860 and 1870 Censuses she is still living with her parents. In 1880, she is counted with the family of William Samuel Dunnegan (her brother). In 1910 she was living with Sarah C. and S. B. Wallace in Poplar Bluff, MO. Genevieve remembers stories about when "Aunt Jane" would come to stay with Granddaddy's family. Evidently, she was pretty strict....Grandaddy poured too much syrup on his biscuits one morning and she made him use the same syrup each morning until it was all used up! Her mother Sophronia must have died in the early 1870's. Jane shared time between her siblings homes after her mother's death 71. ii.

The Texas County courthouse was destroyed during the Civil War, it burned on February 12, 1881 and again on December 14, 1930. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Information from "History of Cooper County", by W. F. Johnson, 1919 and "Tate Families of Southern States", by Metzel and Updike, 1972. Douglas and Sarah (Price) Tate, the former of whom was born in Warren County Tenn., and the latter in Jackson County ALA., who came with their family to Sherrill Township., Texas County, Missouri in 1852 and settled on a farm in Texas County where they spent the remainder of their lives. Douglas Tate and wife were the parents of 11 children of whom Louisa Tally was the fourth in order of birth. The names and ages of children born in Warren County, TN were confirmed by the Warren County, TN 1850 Census. On that Census it indicates that he was a farmer whose land was worth approximately $300. He married his second wife, Rachael C., a widow with three daughters. E., b. 1855; Harriett McLaughlin, b. 1860 AR and Adaline McLaughlin, b. 1862, AR. These children were listed in the Sherill, Texas County Census of 1870, pg 479-34 and 1880, pg 368-272. Douglas and Rachael had two additional children, Thomas J.

Ricki Wilkins More About JAHIEL DOUGLAS TATE: Census: 1850, Warren County, TN Occupation: Farmer Notes for SARAH PRICE: It is believed that Sarah married (Jahiel) Douglas in or around Jackson County, AL and lived there during the birth of her first three children. The 1850 Warren County Census shows that James D., and John D. with Alabama birth places. Since Sophronia who died when young and was not listed on this Census, was the second born, she was probably born in AL too. This same Census shows Sarah and "Douglass" living in Warren County, with additional children, Louisa Adeline, Lorenzo D., and America M. In 1852 she moved with Douglas from Warren County, TN to Sherrill Township, Texas County, MO with five of their children. It is believed that she died some time shortly after the birth of Julia in 1857. She was about 33 when she died. Notes for RACHEL KATHERINE KIMBRO: EARLY HISTORY OF PIONEER PULASKI COUNTY FAMILIES April 2, 1961 "The History of the McLaughlin and Wood Families" written by Mrs. Mary Lane, of Duke, MO Part One My grandfather, Marcus McLaughlin, came to this country from Ireland when he was 19 years old. He had two brothers who lived in Tennessee. He married there and there is where he met my grandmother, Catherine Kimbro and they got married and moved to Batesville, Arkansas. The Civil War broke out in 1861 and grandfather joined up with the south and his two brothers said they wouldn't join either side. Grandmother had a brother and he didn't join either side so they all left together and went out west. Grandfather never heard from his brothers and didn't know what happened to them. It had been over two years when grandmother heard from her brother and he was in Texas. The war was about over and the soldiers moved to Dew Balls Bluff, Arkansas. Then granpa got in touch with grandma and told her to take the children and what she could and meet him in Rolla, Mo. He was still at Dew Balls Bluff in camp. When peace was made he got an honorable discharge and would be on his way to Rolla, Mo. Grandma started out with a cart and a yoke of oxen pulling it. Her and the children made it to Hutton Valley where the bushwhackers overtook her and robbed her and took everything she had. She had $300.00 in gold and silver coins. She had it in a money belt around her waist and it rubbed her side and she had took it off for a few days and sealed it up in the corner of the feather bed. Grandfather gave her this money he had collected and told her to hold on to it and he would see her in Rolla, Mo. The bushwhackers took the feather bed and she followed one half mile and begged and cried for the feather bed for her children to sleep on. There was a guy in the bunch that only had one eye. Grandma had a pair of new brogans shoes on. The brogan shoes were made of hard and stiff leather and this one eyed man told her she could have her dammed old dirty feather bed if she would pull off her shoes and give them to him. So that is what she done. She sat right down and pulled off her new shoes and that left her barefooted. He was standing on the wagon or cart and she handed her shoes up to him. He took the shoes and kicked the feather bed off the wagon. She said it didn't hit the ground until she grabbed it and sat on it, until they drove out of sight. The bushwhackers went on down the road and when they turned the corner and got out of sight she ripped the corner of the feather bed open and got the money out and put it around her waist and never took it off until she got to Rolla, Mo. Can you imagine how heavy $300.00 in gold and silver coins were? She and the children walked on to Rolla. She left the feather bed by the side of the road. During this time peace was declared and the war was over and then grandpa got very sick with the fever. He told two of his buddies to find grandma when they got to Rolla, Mo., that he wasn't going to make it. And he gave these two men what money he had and told them to give it to grandma and tell her of his death. He was buried at Dew Ball Bluff, Arkansas. Part Two The railroad had a line from St. Louis to Rolla, Mo. Grandma met every freight train that came. There were soldiers hanging on the sides and on top and all over but no grandpa. The last train that came brought the sad news. Those two men found granma and told her the sad news and gave her the money. In these Civil War days there were bushwhackers and marauders that did much destruction and damaged homes and people. Supply wagons during the Civil War days were burned by the rebels. Just before dusk on a Monday evening a supply train May 24, 1862, bound for Springfield, Mo., consisting of 17 wagons loaded with bacon was overtaken by a band of Marauders belonging to Colemands Band who let the mules lose from the wagons and turned them loose and set the wagons afire. They saved a small amount of the bacon but the rest was burned and completely destroyed and only a few of the mules were recovered. Then on Tuesday a train came through consisting of 25 wagons bound for the Army beyond Houston, Mo. and they were attacked by the band of Marauders and rebels. The mules were cut loose from 13 wagons. Five of them belonged to Captain McKays train loaded with Ordinance Stores was taken with the rest of the wagons was set afire before the work of destruction was completed. Lt. Segit, who with a squad of cavalry men was escorting another wagon train in the rear, they drove the rebels pickets and the thieving crowd took to their heels and fled. Here is the genealogy of grandpa Marcus and Grandma Catherine McLaughlin. They had 7 children, Wiley, Marcus (nicknamed Bud), Mary, Harriet and Addie, Carl died when he was young and a baby died in infancy. Grandma lived in Rolla until all the children were about grown. Wiley and Marcus (Bud) went to a farm on Big Piney river at Slabtown, MO. and worked for a Mrs. Miriam Merrell. This is where my dad (Wiley) got his first horse he ever owned. He worked on this farm one year for room and board and for the horse and feed. Later years Grandma moved from Rolla to Licking, Mo. She met a Mr Douglas Tate and they married and had two children, one girl Emmie and one boy Tommy. He died when he was about 15 weeks old. Later years Mr. Tate died and grandma was left alone again. She lived west of Licking on a 40 acre farm that she just had a lifetime dowery in it. Then Emmie married Willie McGuire and they lived close to grandma. Then they moved to Texas and grandma was left to herself. Later grandma went to Texas where Emmie and Willie were. Later she came back a couple of times and visited Dad and Mom and two of Dads sisters Addie and Harriet. My dads name was Wiley McLaughlin. Part Three I don't have any history on Addie, but Harriet married Tom Crook, and he had been married before and had children by his first wife. They left Missouri and went to Arkansas and they had two children, Frank and Lucy and they were 10 and 12 years old when they separated. Mr Crook took Jim by his first wife and went to the state of Washington. He had been in the Army and drew a small pension. No one ever heard of him again. Harriet kept Frank and Lucy and she worked for a Dr. Hutchinson at Calico Rock, Arkansas. Harriet took sick and died suddenly. The doctor didn't know anything about her folks, so he found grandmas address in some of Harriet papers and wrote and told grandma about Harriet's death and that she was buried in Arkansas. The doctor had Frank and Lucy. Grandma wrote my dad (Wiley) McLaughlin and told him that Harreit was dead and buried that for him to go get Frank and Lucy. and bring them to his house. So Wiley got his brother, Markus to go with him and they went to Arkansas in a covered wagon with a team of horses. It took over a week to make the trip. They got Frank and Lucy and returned home. The children stayed about three weeks and grandma came from Texas and visited a month and she took Frank and Lucy home with her to Texas. Lucy married a Mr. Will Pratt, and Frank married a Emmie Skeen. Frank and wife Emmie were married December 24, 1905 at Bonhan, Texas. They had nine children, Freeman, Lila, Cecil, Bob, Mrs Ruby Joplin, Leonard Blunt from Clarkesville, Texas, Mrs. Mamie Zeliff and Bennett Red is from Dallas, Texas, and Jessie Nolin lived in Texas. The youngest son passed away. Frank and Emmie and son came to see my brother Columbus McLaughlin and I a few years ago. Thomas was a traveling salesman and they were on their way up north and Frank and Emmie (Skeen) Crook came to Red River County, Texas in 1914. They had 24 grandchildren. The last I heard from them was when they celebrated their 53 wedding anniversary. He was 83 years old and she was 77 years old. Wiley McLaughlin met my mother Grace Ellen Victoria Wood at Big Piney, Mo. The first name Big Piney has been called Post Oak Flatts. Dad and mother were married July 10, 1881 and lived on my mother's farm on the Big Piney River the second farm above the Ross Farm or bridge. My oldest brother, Columbus was born there October 8, 1882. Mother wasn't well living so close to the river. She had chills and fever. The doctor told her to to move and get away from the river. So they traded the river farm for a ridge farm on Musgrave Hollow at Palace, MO. The rest of their children were born there. There were 8 of us children, Columbus, Mark, Samuel, Rufus, Clarence, Newton, Belle, and Mary. Columbus and Mae Carrell married November 10, 1907. They had seven children Altha, Meda, Alta, Hazel Shirley and two boys, Lawrence and Warren. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dew Balls Bluff is actually probably De Valls Bluff in either Prairie or Monroe County, directly east of Little Rock, AR wrote Vicky Drake in an email on October 15, 2000. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More About RACHEL KATHERINE KIMBRO: Burial: Unknown, Menasco Cemetery, Bonham, Fannin County, TX Children of JAHIEL TATE and SARAH PRICE are: 75. i.

Notes for DAVIDSON TATE: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Excerpts from "Tate Families of Southern States, Volume II", Metzel and Updike, 1972 Born In Big Moccasin, a spur of Clinch Mountain near the Holston River, near Lebanon, Russell County, VA. The son of Major and Ruth Davidson Tate. He married Dorcas Myers who, along with her parents was born in KY. Davidson came to TN with his parents when very young. In 1830 the family appeared with five children, some must have been working for them. They were not in Grundy County in 1840, but were there through 1880. On December 22, 1838, Davidson Tate purchased land, tools and slaves in Dekalb County, AL from Lewis D. Hall.

JOSEPH4 TATE (JAMES (MAJOR)3, ROBERT (JR.)2, ROBERT (SR.)1) was born January 02, 1809 in Warren County, TN, and died Bef. 1840. He married ELIZABETH. She died Unknown. Notes for JOSEPH TATE: In an email from Ron Jones, descendant, dated February 19, 2001 he offers much research from his ancestral files: Land Purchase: Page 67. Surveyed 3/25/1828, 199 acre entry dated 11/25/1826. No. 2053 on Cumberland Mountain, North Bank of the Left Hand Fork of Collins River. The above survey includes 2 acres on an improvement claim belonging to Anderson Lord which is platted out. James Tate & Davidson Tate, cc A. Higginbotham. SWC 3/27/1828 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Federal Census of 1830, Warren County, TN, Page 357 Joseph Tate - age 20-29 2 Females - age 15-20 1 Female - age under 5 Note: On the same page, and in close geographical proximity were John Gross and Davidson Tate (Joseph's brother). On Page 358, James Tate (another brother), William Killian, Samuel Killian and Elcain Killian. Joseph and his wife, Elizabeth, left TN and moved to AL around 1835 and then moved to Dade County, GA, where Joseph died before 1840. Davidson Tate moved to Dekalb County, AL in the 1830's and I think that is where Joseph went as well. Davidson later moved back to Grundy County, TN.

The three males are the ones on the deed information. John and Elizabeth Wilkerson moved to Arkansas some time between 1850 and 1860.

Signed: 5 April 1866 Signed by: W.J. Tate Witness: J. L. Lands(?) and J. H. Teasmore Imore Lfr(?), J. P. Registered: 30 Oct 1866 by J. G. Pace, Clerk Notes from Sue Forrester: Okay, notice the dates... the first date was August 1853, the next dates were April 1866... a difference of 13 years. I checked back on the 1840 and 1850 Dade County census, John, James and Joseph fit with the sons of Elizabeth Wilkerson on the 1850 census. Who was William and where did he come from? He wasn't on either the 1840 or 50 Dade County census... and why did he make a recovery attempt after 13 years? Could Joseph have been William Joseph? None of the daughters, including Louisa and her husband, William Smith Jones, were included. While this would prove the sons, it won't help prove Elizabeth. Unless, there is something under Jones and/or Wilkerson/Wilkinson which mention LL 184, 10th district. I couldn't find where Joseph Tate (Sr) purchased this property which doesn't really surprise me. Dade County was formed from Walker Co 25 Dec 1837. Walker was formed from Murray Co in 1833. If this property was purchased (and it appears so) before Joseph died and before 1840, it was probably listed in Walker Co GA. They had a courthouse fire on 8 Feb 1883 which destroyed all records. Dade Co's first courthouse fire was April 1853. NOW, if it was purchased between 1832 and 1833 it could possibly be recorded in Murray Co GA. Chatsworth is the county seat and it is a good distance from us. |
