I shall be posting information on the following
families,
most of whom include people related to me (but some do not). When I
have a
couple who had offspring after 1925, I don't provide data on the children
on this site; however, upon request and with the requester's promise not
to release post-1925 information
to the world, I'll share more if I have it.
Alexanders of Henry County, TN, Fayette County, and Roane/Loudon
County,
TN. Although the individuals are chiefly the descendants of James
Alexander,
who lived in Anson/Rowan County, NC, and Spartanburg County, SC, (and
possibly eastern TN) from around
1750 until his death about 1810, the data will also eventually include that
which I have managed
to collect on Alexanders who settled in Henry County from before 1820
through 1850.
Bradshaws of Henry County, TN. These Bradshaws migrated from VA
to
TN some time before 1830, and I know almost nothing about them before
their
move to TN.
Chilcutts of Henry County, TN. Other researchers have traced
this family
back from TN; however, I begin with them in Stewart County and Henry
County
and follow them forward. The family heads with whom I begin are Joshua
and
his wife Elizabeth and George and his wife Sarah.
Gores of Henry County, Franklin County, Lincoln County, and Moore
County,
TN. These Gores all descend from Thomas L. Gore, Sr., of Union
County
and Spartanburg County, SC, and Franklin County, and Henry County, TN.
If
she approves, I'll provide a link to a researcher who has more and
better
data than I on the Gore family before Thomas, as well as data on
Thomas's
brother Joshua and his descendants.
McMillins (sometimes spelled McMillans) associated with the Alexander
family.
These McMillins descend from William McMillin from Spartanburg County,
SC,
and Logan County, KY, where he died in 1810. My McMillin data are
sparse. Matthew and William Alexander married William McMillin's
daughters Eleanor and Esther.
Mortons of Henry County, TN. These Mortons descend from George and
Elizabeth
(McSwain) Morton, who migrated to Henry County from Montgomery County,
NC,
shortly before 1840. Another Morton family, that of John and Sarah
(Duke) Morton, came to Henry County from Montgomery County, NC, at
about the same time and is probably related.
Powel(l)s of Henry County and Benton County, TN. These individuals
descend
from Allenson Powel(l), Sr., who was apparently the son of John
Powel(l) of
Edgecombe
County (and perhaps Nash County and Rowan County), NC, and the grandson
of William Powel(l) of there and VA.
Smiths of Henry County, TN, and various counties in MO. These
individuals
descend from Henry Smith and his wife Susannah, who were born in VA and
were
probably in TN by 1820.
Stagners of Henry County, TN. For much of this Stagner family,
which descended
from John B. Stagner, or Johann Bernhardt Stagner, who migrated from
Germany
before the American Revolution, I refer researchers to the work of
Johnny
Walker. The Henry County Stagners were almost all descended from
Talbert and Malinda (Mathis) Stagner.
Stephenses of Henry County, TN. These individuals descend
primarily
from Edward Stephens and the brothers John S. and Eli A. Stephens and,
perhaps,
another Stephens brother or cousin, all of whom moved to TN from SC.
John
and Eli were married to Gore sisters, and Edward may have been their
father,
cousin, or much-older brother. My ancestor Emily Jane (Stephens)
Alexander belonged to this family, but I haven't placed her as yet.
There are also a few NC-derived Stephenses
included, mostly the family of Fielding Stephens.
Grizzles of NC and, from there, to Lumpkin County, GA, then Bartow County and Cobb County, GA.
These Grizzles descend from William and Celia Grizzle. William's father
was very probably John Henry Grizzle from VA and Rutherford County, NC.
