Guilford Burns |
I was wondering if you
have any information on Guilford Burns born 1792 in NC and his wife Tabitha
Jane Burns. They had two children John and Sally or Sarah Burns. They show
up on the 1860 Perry County Census. Guilford died shortly after the
census. Tabitha Jane later married Moses Griffin and shows up in the 1870
Perry County census. |

Enoch Hooper |
I
am looking for information on Enoch Hooper (d. aft. 1841) and his extended
family. He lived in Perry County, TN after leaving the Carolinas. He had two
brothers who settled in Humphreys County, TN by the name of Bailey Hooper
(b. 1769) and John Hooper. It is thought that Enoch married a Roberts woman.
It is believed that Enoch may have practiced the black smith trade as he
inherited all his father's black smithing tools. Enoch had a son by the name
of Dempsey James Hooper who later settled in Texas and was an accomplished
black smith. If you can help, I would appreciate your contacting me.

discharge. His enlistment contains: Jesse Kelly, State of
Tennessee, Town of Clifton, age 23, by occupation a farmer, volunteered on
February 20, 1864 to serve as soldier in the Army of the United States of
America for the period of one year......
Lt. J.W. Taylor, recruiting officer, 2nd Regiment of Mounted Infantry
Volunteers. Hazle eyes, black hair, fair complexion, 5' 81/2".
Discharged on March 4, 1865. In this document, Lt. Taylor is now Captain
John W. Taylor. It also adds Company F to 2nd Regiment of Mounted Infantry.

facts about my grandfather would be much appreciated.

Pogue, Martha |
I was wondering if I could get more
information if any exists on Martha Pogue. She is my ancestor, and I have
tried without success to discover if she had a husband so I could trace my
line farther back. I know she was in her 80's or 90's living in Perry County
when she died. My father believes she is buried in Flowers Cemetary as she
lived with her daughter Cassandra Flowers who married James Flowers. Her
birth year would be estimated around 1792, possibly 3 different states as
her place of birth on the east coast. She seems to have moved around
Tennessee some in her earlier years. I found mention although not the record
of the deed to the Flowers farm, so its possible an address exists of the
place where she was living when she died. Any information would be great.
One thing I forgot to mention in my studies
earlier. The eldest daughter of Martha Pogue, Isabella, (possibly only one l
in the name) shows a tennessee marriage record to one Elijah Maxwell, but no
census record shows her later under that name, or mentions Elijah. After
doing some digging, I saw an Elijah Maxwell in some war records supposedly
having been a member of Captain Sparkman's Brigade during the Civil War.
According to the GenWeb, Perry County is working on stories and data
regarding the Civil War, if so this same individual could easily have been
her husband. If so, then he went to war on behalf of the South right after
marriage, and during a major conflict where the Brigade was used as Heavy
Artillery, Sparkman and over half the unit were killed. Sick, they were
forced to walk home on foot, where they were arrested for war crimes(after
having been pardoned). It is likely Elijah Maxwell never survived the war. I
don't know if any Confederate records mention family members, but it might
be useful research, thought I would include this.

Qualls, Smitha Hilburn |
My daughter and I are working on her
application for the Daughters of Republic of Texas (DRT)
Her GGGGgrandfather Richard Hilburn left Perry County in the 1830's. He
served in the US Mexican War and was a Texas Ranger, and so on.
Some of his family stayed and some went with him. His daughter, Smitha
Hilburn married Riley Qualls c. 1846. She was born March 5, 1829 and died c.
1919 in Perry County, probably around Brush Creek. I have found no record at
the Tn State Archives web site of her death. The DRT's Registar is
requesting a death certificate for Smitha and proof of her connection to
Richard Hilburn. The 1820's census just list how many lived in the household
and did not give names. Any help will be appreciated. |

James Night/Knight |
I wanted to give you some
information on the Civil War Veterans of Perry County page. Something that
I found while searching for my GGG Grandfather James Night / Knight. I
found him in the Linden area of Perry county in 1850 and 1860 census.
Sometime between 1862 and 1870 he disappeared. I believe that he was a
casualty of the Civil war. But there were several James Night / Knights on
both sides and I haven't been able to tie any of them in to my family tree.
GGG Grandpa James last child John was born Nov 1862 and his widow GGG
Grandma Martha A Knight and most of her children showed up in Decatur county
for the 1870 census.
I also found James H
Knight of Perry County with "I" Co. of the 14th Tennessee Cav. and a
pension # S 14025 and almost jumped out of my socks!!! So I submitted a
couple of Military records search requests to TSLA and when I got the
return, I was disappointed! They told me that James Knight was indeed
listed in the book "Tennesseans in the Civil War", but they could not locate
his service records. When they went to their index for James H Knight and
pension # S 14025, they found the micro film listing him as James H
"McKnight" of Pope, Perry County, TN. He tried to get his pension in 1913,
due to the disabilities that he received in the war and they kept putting
him off till he Died in 1930. His wife (Not Martha) then tried to get the
benefits and I don't know if she ever got them. This was well after James
Night / Knight disappeared. GGG Grandma Martha A Knight died in 1900 and is
buried in Decatur County, TN. Obviously not the same person that I was
looking for.
So If you ever come
across James Night or Knight (DOB 1826), Martha A (1826) let me know. I
do have a fairly good line on their children Caladona J (Md. Barnes),
Mesenus Franklin, William James (My GG Granddad), Sarah J. (Sutton), Thomas
Wesley, Martha Elizabeth (Broadaway, Treece) and John B Knight. However,
if you see anything on them I would also be interested.
-------
Dec 20 addendum: Some new found family lore.
James Night/Knight didn't die in the War. Supposidly in 1864/65 he was on
his horse, in the Tennessee River, or trying to cross the River . Two
"Carpet Baggers" jumped him and pushed him into the River, causing him to
drown. They apparently wanted his farm. I had never heard this story before,
but it came from one of the older children of James' son William James
Knight. |

Thomas Young and Elizabeth Horner |
My Great, Great Grandmother was Elizabeth
Horner that was married to Thomas Young in Perry Co. Her parents were
John Jefferson Horner b. 3 Oct 1793 d. 18 July 1878 (Perry Co.TN)
married to Sarah Sparks. I am looking for documentation of all their
children. Such as a will, a bible record or family history. Do
you have any thing that I can use? Or can you put me in touch with someone
who may can help me?
Elizabeth was born 1 March 1818 Hickman and died in Dyer Co. TN. I have the
children listed in the 1850 census forward, but nothing before that.
