    Notes:

    J.H. Cason served many churches throughout TN, AL, MS, AR, and TX. In 1883, he was sent to the Seymour, TX area as a missionary to the Indians there.

    Went to Africa as a missionary shortly after marriage.Had 5 children who lived.Served in Civil War, was at Shiloh, Chaplin in the Confederacy

    N4, h2

    J.H. Cason is not found among the list of pastors of First Baptist Church in Columbus, Miss. His last child was born in Columbus, Miss,in 1874, so I presume he was either serving a church or teaching school there. Prior children were born in Carrolton, Alabama so I will look for a church there as well.

    This family is found in Columbus, Mississippi in the 1870 census.Census indexes list JH Cason as TM Cason. I am unable to find them inthe 1860 Census so far. In 1880, the family is back in Wilson Co.,TN. In 1900, JH Cason is found in the index as Jeremiha Cason, age 77, in the 9th Ward, Dallas, Texas. This would be ED 73, p. 125B. Unfortunately, this image is missing from Ancestry.Com.

    In 1866-1868, there are several references to J.H. Cason as an attorney in the West Alabamian newspaper. There are also later references in that general area to a J.H. Cason. But, I do not believe this is the same J.H. Cason. Interestingly, he is in Carrollton, Pickens County as a pastor at the same time as this other Cason is an attorney. I suspect the are both related back in Wilson County.

    Graduation:
    attended Bradley Academy

    Graduation:
    graduated from Union College

    Military:
    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.

    Military:
    This time, J.H. Cason enlisted for the duration of the war as an officer.

    Military:
    By this time, J.H. Cason is listed as Captain.

    Census:
    J.H. Cason is enumerated in the 1866 Alabama state census in Twp 21 Range 15 West in Pickens County, Alabama. His family consists of 2 males under 10, 1 male over 20 (total 3), 1 female under 10, 1 aged 10-20, and 1 over 20, (total 3).

    Residence:
    Subscribed to the West Alabamian

    Misc:
    On Thursday, the 24th day of Dec., 1868, at the residence of Z. Pulliam, Esq., the bride's father, by Rev. J. H. Cason, Mr. Francis Oscar Evans and Miss Mary Pulliam, of Pickensville, Alabama.

    Misc:
    On the 19th inst., at the residence of the bride's father, in Vinton, Lowndes County, Mr. Wm. N. Hodo and Miss Sallie A. Trotter; by Elder J.H. Cason. May their lives be as happy as the worthy groom and his beautiful bride deserve, and there will be more of sunshine than of cloud.

    Residence:
    A note of the Centennial Mass Meeting of the Baptist association says that J.H. Cason was living in Jackson.

    Census:
    J.H. Cason is listed as maimed or crippled in the 1880 census with the notation that he has only one arm.

    Occupation:
    The Texas Baptist of Dallas says: That the Rev. J.H. Cason has been called to the Jacksboro and Graham churches

    Misc:
    Wedding of Mr. Granville P. Key and Miss Annie McGeehan

    Misc:
    Mr. G.P. Frazer of Jacksboro and Miss Mamie Cason of this place where married this evening at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church, Rev. J.H. Cason, the bride's father, officiating. Immediately after the ceremony, the bridal party left for Jacksboro.

    Misc:
    J.H. Cason was selected as a member of the board of Missions.

    Apparently, there was a a lot of chaos in this convention. Dr. Hayden, the moderator, was not well versed in Parliamentary procedure. Seems that some newspapers commented negatively on how he was running the session. J.H. Cason rose to his defense and criticized the news coverage. He started to introduce resolutions condemning the local newspapers and was pulled down by Dr. Hayden, his good friend.

    There was also something called "The Reddick Matter". A committee on the affair returned a set of resolutions. Elder Battle rose in opposition.

    "J.H. Cason spoke in opposition to the Battle motion. Said 'he had been a missionary to Africa and did not feel that in doing so he was sacrificing his Southern principals, for he was a slave holder, and was opposed to social equality.'"



    Residence:
    Listed as living in Athens in a list of clergy participating in a Joint religious debate.

    Misc:
    J.H. Cason may have been living in Huntsville at the time. This seems likely.

    Misc:
    The Baptist General Convention was held in Dallas in 1899. There was considerable dissent at the convention led by a faction that included J.H. Cason. From the newspaper article, it is not clear exactly what the disagreement was, but the dissenters accused the convention leadership of abandoning Christ's teachings and pushing the church to the brink of dissolution.

    Misc:
    At the Baptist Convention, a number of individuals were denied their seats on the basis of faulty credentials. A large dispute erupted over whether an individual delegate was the person seated at the convention, or whether the church that sent the delegate was the one seated, and then what sort of credentials were valid.

    This was the culmination of 15 years of infighting. The president of the Convention, Dr. Hayden of Dallas, was closely associated with J.H. Cason, who helped draft the resolutions that led to the split.

    Residence:
    The article also lists J.H. Cason as from Timpson, Texas. But other sources place him in Royce. Timpson is too far away to be a two-church charge.

    Residence:
    J.H. Cason took a new church in Carrollton, Alabama in 1901. Bettie was planning to join him shortly, but her health failed and he had to return to her side in Royce City.

    Residence:
    Rev. J.H. Cason is listed as Dean, Texas Baptist University

    Misc:
    Eld. J.H. Cason of Royse, Tex. arrived in the city Thursday for an extended visit to his daughter, Mrs. J.W. Higgs. Elder Cason is perhaps the oldest Baptist minister, in both age and point of service, in the South having passed his 82 milestone.

    Perhaps the fact that Bettie was a twin and that her twin sister died early is a hint that her health was never particularly strong. This might be part of the reason she was forced to return early from Africa.

    Notes:

    n4, mg2,

    Came to Tennessee in 1808. Settled in Wilson Co., TN.

    Married in Georgia, came to Falling Creek, TN after marriage. (This is somewhat suspect to me. I am not certain that he actually married in Georgia. There's no reason for this to have happened, as far as I can tell.)

    Had 7 sons & 5 daughters by Sally Miller.

    Could have been named Joseph.

    Died of Cholera.

    There is some confusion about Joseph and Thomas CASON and their spouses.

    Could have been born about 1776 in NC or SC.

    Misc:
    Taken up by Joseph Cason, one black mare, 3 years old past, 13 hand high, both hind feet white, large blaze in her face, no brands perceivable, appraised at 8 dollars, June 12th

    The minutes of the Quarterly court hold tax lists for 1803-1807. Joseph Cason does not appear in any of these. So, we can assume that he arrived sometime after the tax roll for 1807 was created and before when he took up the lost mare in June 1810.

    Possessions:
    Land Entry 9742.
    Warrant 1340, originally issued to Walter Clopton, Jun. 23 1/2 acres on the waters of Falling Creek, adjoining Joseph Cason's south east border.
    Survey 13 Jun 1814

    Residence:
    If there was a letter waiting in 1813, this gives proof that Joseph Cason was living in Wilson County by then.

    Census:
    Enumeration: 0011011-0102001, 8 slaves, 16 people

    Misc:
    As a consequence of a judgment against George Smith, Joseph Cason had an execution order issued to force sale of a piece of property.

    Misc:
    Land was sold and debt settled.

    Probate:
    Annual return and settlement of estate

    BURIED: Probably in the John A. Cason burying ground, Wilson Co., TN

    Joseph married Rebecca Miller before 1799 in Georgia, United States.

    Notes:

    Sally and Rebecca Miller are sisters. Both married Casons. One married Joseph Cason and one married John Cason. Both are married to Casons at the time of their father's death in 1814 and the administration of his estate. They seem to often be confused. The recorded documents clearly show that Sally married John and Rebecca married Joseph.

    Died of cholera during the epidemic of 1835 in Wilson Co. TN.

    Why do we think she was born and / or married in Georgia? Her parents were born, married, and died in South Carolina, Laurens County, mostly.


    Birth:
    I do not believe that Rebecca was born in Georgia. It appears that her family was in Laurens Co before and after her birth. It also makes little sense that they would go from Georgia back to South Carolina.

    Notes:

    Married her cousin

    There is a marriage record in 1836 Limestone County, Alabama for a marriage of Henrietta Faver to Andrew Wofford. Andrew purchased a slave at John Faver Jr's estate sale. John Wofford (Andrew's father) ended up as the guardian of several Wofford children. I don't think there was a divorce, and Andrew Wofford's will names his wife M.F. Wofford. Who is this Henrietta?

    Died:
    On John Faver's 1830 Census enumeration, there is a female aged 50-60, which is presumably Henrietta. So, her death is likely between 1830 and 1836.

    Children:
    1. 5. Elizabeth Faver was born on 29 Mar 1795 in Culpeper, Virginia, United States; died on 24 Mar 1867 in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States; was buried in Simmons Bluff, Wilson, Tennessee, United States.

    Notes:

    Henry L. Cooper was born in Delaware, was a Maryland Revolutionary soldier, and moved to North Carolina where he married, 19 Jan 1794, Rebecca Hollis, daughter of John and Mary Hollis. They moved to Tennessee about 1814-15 to Rutherford County. He had three sons and two daughters. Some reports claim that the family lived in the Short Mountain area of Rutherford County.

    MARRIAGE: Cooper5

    N4, H2

    Somehow, Henry Cooper is connected to Robert S. Cooper. There are too many common names in the church cemetery to not be connected.

    Misc:
    This might be the same deed that was witnessed in 1820. In this case, the deed was presented to the County Court on 14 Sep 1819. David Hollis and Henry Cooper witnessed under oath that it was genuine and it was recorded.

    In 1836, Rebecca is recorded in the tax list. This means Henry is no longer living.

    Henry married Rebecca Hollis on 19 Jan 1794 in Rowan, North Carolina, United States. Rebecca (daughter of John Hollis and Mary) was born before 1775 in Rowan, North Carolina, United States; died in 1855 in Cannon, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Some sources record a second marriage for Rebecca to an Andrew Moore in Knox County, TN, but this does not make sense. The marriage isrecorded as 12 Aug 1812 in Knox Co, TN. If this were the case,Rebecca and Henry would have had to be divorced since he was still alive at that point. Likewise, she would have had to go east alone for this to happen. No mention of this was made in Elizabeth Cooper's Bible records. Also, were Rebecca to remarry, the record would have been recorded as Rebecca Cooper, not Rebecca Hollis. So, unless additional evidence comes to light, we will assume that this is another Rebecca Hollis.

    CENSUS: Based on the 1790 enumeration of John Hollis, it would appear that this person occurs in that house. Likewise, in the 1800, 1820, 1830 enumerations of Henry Cooper support her position in this household, but does not explicitly list her.

    Residence:
    Rebecca Cooper is listed as owning 266 acres worth $2660 and 1 slave worth $600. The fact that she is in the tax list means she owns the property and not Henry, so he must no longer be living.

    Residence:
    Rebecca is taxed on 267 acres worth $3000 and 1 slave worth $700

    Census:
    Enumeration: 00101-00000001, 8 slaves, 11 people

    Notes:

    We need to prove that in fact Henry Vincent, son of Alexander Vincent, was the Henry who married Rachel Caits and fathered Adolphus. Based on the dates, it is possible that Henry, son of Henry, was the husband of Rachel Caits.

    Henry Vinson witnessed the inventory for Joshua Cates, dec'd on 22 Dec 1838 in Rutherford Co., Tenn. Among the articles included in the inventory were 4 negroes and one note for $81.50 on Henry Vinson due 25 Dec 1838. Total for the inventory was $28676.25. The inventory was signed by John Cates and Henry Vinson.

    The fact that Henry sold this land adjoining his own to this family for 1 cent means there was some sort of relationship, I would think.
