2851 Ira Evelyn is a funny name, but her granddaughter has her listed that way. Generally, I have only seen her as Evelyn, with one case of her being listed as Ira Evelyn. Shiflett, Ira Evelyn (I5601)
 
2852 Ira is listed as a printer in the 1910 Census. Higgs, Ira Thomas (I3529)
 
2853 Ira is listed as I. Thomas Higgs with wife Gertrude E. Higgs in the 1940 city directory of Boston. His occupation is listed as salesman. Higgs, Ira Thomas (I3530)
 
2854 Ira T. Higgs, brother of John William Higgs, was killed when he was hit by a streetcar in Fort Smith, AR. Living in Van Buren, AR, being the coroner there for four years, he had ventured across the river to Fort Smith. As he was returning home, he was struck by a streetcar on Garrison Ave. in Fort Smith. His leg was severed and he died a few hours after the accident. Ira had been the coroner for Crawford Co.for four years when he died and he had lived in Van Buren for 20 years. According to his obituary, he moved to Van Buren from Hot Springs, AR, the home of his wife, Hattie Nash. Likewise, according to the obituary, he was born near Texarkana, AR. Other sources have reported his birthplace as Tuscumbia, AL. It is likely that Ira and Hattie were married either in Texarkana, Miller Co., AR or near Hattie's family home in near Hot Springs, Garland Co., AR. However,Hattie is found with her mother and brother in the 1880 Census of Miller Co.

According to the 1900 Census, Ira was an undertaker in Van Buren. Notation 8-6-a-0-6-3 might refer to another census schedule.

Higgs, Ira Thomas (I3529)
 
2855 Ira was elected but failed to qualify. His term was served by J.H. McKenney. Higgs, Ira Thomas (I3529)
 
2856 Ira was elected coroner again in 1910 and served two terms, until his death. Higgs, Ira Thomas (I3529)
 
2857 Ira's profession in 1900 is an undertaker. This would be why he later was coroner for the county. Higgs, Ira Thomas (I3529)
 
2858 Ira's will leaves his estate to be split between his niece Florence Magdalene Garner and his wife's brother Robert McAllister of Eulogy, Texas McAllister, Maggie J. (I10128)
 
2859 Ira's will leaves his estate to be split between his niece Florence Magdalene Garner and his wife's brother Robert McAllister of Eulogy, Texas.

This provides us with a family for his wife and proves he and Eliza Lavona Huckaby Hames are siblings. Her daughter was Florence Magdalene Hames Garner 
Huckaby, Ira Alonzo (I3712)
 
2860 Ironmonger Draper, Clement (I2656)
 
2861 Is Jane the same person as Genny? Jane (I9454)
 
2862 Is this actually Joe Dickson (from Millie McGrane's page) who was an Odd Fellow? Millie lists a Joe b. 1901, d. 1963, and McCurry Cemetery lists a Joe b. 1895 d. 1977. Which is which?

When were Cecil and Elzenia married? Was it a shotgun kind of thing?

Was the child really born before the wedding? 
Dickson, Earnest John (I2565)
 
2863 Is this Mary or is this Lurany / Sourney or whatever the other daughter's name is? Based on her marriage date, I doubt it. Perhaps Mary died young. Deshazo, Mary C. (I2516)
 
2864 Is this really the right David Dickson? Why would he start out in Tennessee, go pretty far south into Alabama, quickly come back to Tennessee, and then head back to Alabama and on to Mississippi? I am no longer really convinced that this is him. Dickson, David (I2561)
 
2865 Is this the same person as Eliza? Tennille, Mary Elizabeth (I9616)
 
2866 Is this the William Page who worked as overseer for Thomas Jefferson? Page, William J. (I4913)
 
2867 Isaac deeded his land to his sons without providing for his wife, so she must have already died. Glass, Hannah (I8701)
 
2868 Isham Cox moved to Alabama in the spring of 1830.

2871 It appears that A.B. Shehee is working as a surveyor for the government. Based on the Indian activity in the area, he is requesting protection. Shehee, Aylesbury (I5568)
 
2872 It appears that A.B. Shehee was born in Maryland, but his family moved to middle Georgia before he married (maybe). I had thought that his parents stayed behind and that he moved after he married, but newspaper notices place him and his parents in Washington County by 1817.

I think he was elected to the state General Assembly but only served a couple of years. By 1830, he had moved to south Georgia near Valdosta in Lowndes county. And then shortly moved into north Florida, Jefferson County, near Aucilla.

I have seen an account that he died in Decatur county, GA (Bainbridge). I have not proved that, but he may have owned land there.

On the road to Ashville, fifteen miles from Monticello, lies one of the beauty spots of Jefferson County. The name, Glendower, was given to this plantation by John Finlayson, whose father was Daniel Finlayson from Scotland, who, when a boy of eighteen years, came to America in 1800. Daniel settled in South Carolina and married Christiana McRae, also a native of Scotland, whose family had emigrated to America. In 1810, his oldest son, John, was born. In 1818, the family moved to Telfair County, Georgia, near Cape Fear River, and Daniel turned his attention to farming, especially stock-raising, and was noted for his neatness in the management of his farm. He died very soon after settling in Georgia. His wife was a religious woman, of great physical energy and intellectual vigor. She was very ambitious to have her three children educated. They attended school in a primitive log structure, and, though the instruction gained there may have contributed to their knowledge, it could not compare to the intellectual acquirements gained at their own fireside. In the planting season, John helped with the labors of the farm, and during the rest of the year, he attended school. He was as full of ambitious plans, as his mother, and at fifteen years of age, he took charge of a small school, which he taught long enough to discover his inaptitude for teaching. His next venture was in the mercantile business. By 1829 he had a business of his own, and in ten years he was worth thirty five thousand dollars. He had always cherished a desire to be a planter, and in 1839 he possessed the requisite amount to purchase a plantation, and chose Florida as his future home.

He bought a fine tract of land, a sufficient number of slaves and implements to do the laborious work, thus beginning to realize the fulfillment of his hopes. In 1842, he married Florida Augusta Shehee, a daughter of a very early settler of Jefferson County, Judge A. B. Shehee. A most attractive home was built, beautified by the wonderful setting of moss-draped live oaks, and other native trees. The interior sheltered graceful pieces of antique furniture and exquisite oil portraits of his five children; John Jr., Augusta, Mary, Virginia and Daniel Aylesbury.

Notes for Aylesbury Shehee:
History of Jefferson county, Florida

Pg.84 Aylesbury Shehee Named to command an expedition to drive out the Indians who have harassed the area.

Pg. 97 Aylesbury Shehee's Plantation is near the Aucilla river and close to the plantation of John Finlayson who is his son-in-law.

A.B. Shehee one of the trustees for Aucilla Academy charter in 1840

Pg.170 A.B. Shehee chaired a group of protesters during the depression of 1837

Pg.176 County Judge A.B. Shehee is chairman of a group demanding statehood for Florida
. 1820 Georgia Census lived in Washington County
. 1830 Georgia Census lived in Lowndes County 
Shehee, Aylesbury (I5568)
 
2873 It appears that after all the kerfuffle around his father's activities, Peter A. decided to move on. He was in Yalobusha County, Mississippi in 1840 and died in Tallahatchie County in 1843, leaving all his property to his father. Bailey, Peter A. (I659)
 
2874 It appears that after John died, Esther moved to Desoto County, Mississippi. The estate paid expenses for the children to travel back from Desoto in 1841. Lewis, Esther (I4296)
 
2875 It appears that after Margaret's death, John and his children are living with his widowed mother. Womack, John Tipton (I6609)
 
2876 It appears that after Robert died, Margaret married a second time to William Hunter. In March 1803, Margaret makes her return of Robert's estate and is listed as Margaret Hunter. At that same court, William Hunter is appointed the guardian of Margaret's two youngest children.

There is a Robert Kirkham of Greene County, later of Twiggs County interacting with Ware, Jemison folks. Could be Margaret's brother 
Kirkham, Margaret (I4116)
 
2877 It appears that after the Civil War, Otway and Laura married. She died, maybe in childbirth. He then married her sister Martha (Mattie), who also seems to have died before he moved back to NC. In North Carolina, his children went to live with relatives.

It appears that Otway moved west with other extended family members. He married a woman whose mother appears to be related to his mother. There are a number of Bethell, Watt, and Stubblefield families in Dallas County, Arkansas apparently with roots in North Carolina.

The book Stubblefield : eight generations of a family in Rockingham & Caswell Counties, North Carolina & Calloway County, Kentucky ; including filial lines Bethell, Boaz, Harris, Holderby, Lawson, Johnston, Montgomery, Moore, Walton, Waters & Womack in the FHL / FHC includes Otway Bailey. Available online in a FHC. 
Bailey, Otway Licepious (I8087)
 
2878 It appears that Caledonia may be enumerated twice. Once in her birth home, and once in the home of Ephraim Wilson. The census doesn't really give a good hint as to whether this is really her or why she is in this house. I wonder if she was adopted out, or was just living elsewhere for some time. Bailey, Caledonia (I570)
 
2879 It appears that Elizabeth is selling land to her son. The dates make it hard for this to be a grandson. Though it could be a nephew. Bressie, Francis (I9523)
 
2880 It appears that he enlisted for a period of 12 months, starting as a Private. During the first few months, he was named Chaplain for the regiment. At the end of his 12 month term, he appears to have not re-enlisted in this unit. Cason, Rev. Jeremiah Harris (I1521)
 
2881 It appears that J. Wills Higgs, same age as Jere Will, is our man. He appears to be enumerated in two places. The census taker seems to have been really sloppy in Idabel at this time. Higgs, Jere Will (I3531)
 
2882 It appears that John H. Bailey moved to Red River County with his brother and received land in 1845. There is a bond for 100 acres adjoining Bailey dated 28 Jun 1845. Bailey, John H. (I627)
 
2883 It appears that Karol's parents came from Poland to the US around 1904 and may have been of Jewish heritage. They settled first in the Philadelphia area and moved to Detroit around 1920. Family: Karol Charles Kalinsky / Helen Alma Dickson (F449)
 
2884 It appears that Matthew was probably born in Licking County. His parents were married there. He appears there in the 1850 census, and joins the army from there during the Civil War. By 1867, he is in Knox County, however. Not sure whether his parents and family were there or not.

Once we find Matthew & Rachel marrying, it's pretty straightforward to trace them from Knox Co to Pickaway Co to Tennessee. We don't know why they moved or exactly when yet. We also don't know about the foray into Illinois.

It seems pretty sure that Matthew's parents were Thomas and Jane. However, it appears there is a Thomas M Finney who married a Jane Miller in Belmont County. But there seems to perhaps be another Thomas and Jane in Ohio. We need to sort this out. Perhaps by finding them in the times from 1840-1860.

Pickaway, Knox, and Licking counties are all in central OH around Columbus. Belmont County is over on the (West) Virginia border, right by Wheeling. 
Finney, Matthew Miller (I9750)
 
2885 It appears that Nancy is likely connected to John Foster, for whom Edmund, her husband, was executor. Foster, Nancy (I2969)
 
2886 It appears that perhaps Margaret's family came to the US prior to 1850 since they are not found in the 1850 census.

Since I find Margaret in the 1910 Census but not the 1920 Census (yet), I suspect that she died between 1910 and 1920. 
Farley, Margaret (I2834)
 
2887 It appears that Temperance died pretty early. Her marriage to James does not appear in the saved records of Rutherford County. Bedford County, the next guess, has no marriage records before about 1850. It appears that James Alexander remarried to an Elizabeth Cooper after Temperance died. One of their children was named Micajah Cooper Alexander. She was not a daughter of Micajah, but perhaps a sister.

In any case, I have not been able to track her down well to figure out a more likely birth date nor a real marriage record. 
Vincent, Temperance P. (I6295)
 
2888 It appears that the ages of James and Mary are swapped in the census Shoptaw, James J. (I8339)
 
2889 It appears that there may be a second will from 1883 in New York, vol 313, page 416 Dargan, Thomas (I9345)
 
2890 It appears that there were no children by this marriage. Family: Joseph Henry Almand / Emma Moore (F1034)
 
2891 It appears that they were not married when the city directory for Fort Worth was made for 1921. And they were married by the time they went to Mexia in 1924. Family: Jeremiah Harris Cason / May Browning (F3214)
 
2892 It appears that this grave is unmarked in the Antlers Cemetery. According to the Antlers American, 14 Jun 1925, "Neva Lorraine, 11 mos. old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Ab Ingram of Kosoma, died of cholera Monday morning at the home of her grandparents, Mr. & Mrs. Z.T. Tennison. Internment was in Antlers Cemetery. Ingrum, Neva Loraine (I3843)
 
2893 It appears that this marriage ended around 1911 through divorce,though no documentation has been found. Family: Charles S. Cunningham / Laura Caroline Brooks (F2382)
 
2894 It is believed that Thomas was a veteran of the Indian Wars, serving in the 3rd Co of GA Batt., commanded by Capt. John Duncan. On payroll, 9 Jun 1782 - 4 Nov 1795, enlisted 16 Dec 1782 and served 10 mos, 18 days. It is also believed that he moved to Rockingham NC by August 16 1779 and then to Georgia by 1782.

In some sources, I have seen him as Thomas Simeon Almand, but during that time, the King of England forbade anyone except royalty from having more than a single name, so this is not correct. 
Almond, Thomas Sr. (I413)
 
2895 It is easy to be sure that William K. Finney is Thomas Dunn Finney's father. good records show this.

It is also easy to track the fact that William Finney and Matthew Finney are the only Finney families in Lawrence County by 1890. And it is easy to find William in the family with Matthew and Rachel Stevens Finney prior to moving to Tennessee.

So, I am confident in the line from Thomas D. Finney to William & Mamie and then to Matthew & Rachel 
Finney, William Keeling (I8009)
 
2896 It is interesting that William and Elizabeth are listed as born in NC rather than SC. Most of the Huckabys and allied families seem to have come from SC. Not sure about Robert, the presumed father of William. Huckaby, William (I10159)
 
2897 It is likely that Hudson Hollis got his name from Hudson Berry. Thereis a Berry family that has children with all the same names as thisHollis family. THat leads to speculation that Mary was perhaps aBerry or that some other connection on the wife's side of the familyexists.

CENSUS: Based on the enumeration of John Hollis, it would appear thatthis person occurs in that house. 
Hollis, Hudson (I3631)
 
2898 It is likely that Peter was born in Elbert Co., GA, but no proof of this has yet been found.

Peter and Permelia were married by Elbert H. Gay, J.P.

N5

Peter is another of the mysterious Butler boys. 
Almand, Peter Bennett (I347)
 
2899 It is not clear that John & Mary immigrated to the US. Patrick may have come alone as a young man. While they do not appear to be deceased when he marries (Bridget's parents are listed as dec'd and Patrick's are not), they may not have come with him. Callahan, John (I7048)
 
2900 It is not clear whether Reuben's surname was Van Bishop or whether Van was his middle name and Bishop his surname. I have seen both. Van Bishop, Reuben (I6160)
