Sallie Cullop in Washington Co., Va. 6 June, 1822 served in the war of 1812, East Tenn. Militia, Nov. 1814 - June 1815 >>> I have no information on Isaac's parents or siblings. Sallie CULLOP: b. 9 Dec. 1800 (believe Wash. Co., Va.) to Henry & Catherine Cullop died 24 Jan. 1873 in Pike Co., Mo. & buried at Kilby Cemetery. Sometime after his service in the war of 1812, Isaac moved to Washington Co., VA where he married Sallie Cullop. I believe he lived in or near the Wideners Valley along the South Fork of the Holston River. After the birth of the first six children (see below), the Isaac REED family moved to Pike Co., MO. where they raised five more children and lived until their deaths. Children of Isaac & Sallie REED: Jas. (or James A.), Josiah, Elen (or Ellen); Corrie; A. J.(A. Jack); Joseph; William; Mary; J. W.; Samuel; John T.; F. I. (Franklin Isaac) (my G grandfather). I have fairly good information for Isaac REED and his family once they moved to Pike County, Missouri but I am finding it a real challenge to confirm his place of birth, name of parents, and siblings.

Re: Capt. Thomas Gillespie
Earlynn V. Grant -- Sunday, 16 April 2000, at 6:56 a.m.

Family legend has it that my ancestor, Absolom Warrington Gillespie, was the son of Thomas Gillespie and that Absolom was born c. 1802-4 near Maryville, TN. He is said to have been the youngest of many children and that he ran away from his apprenticeship as a tailor. He had previously run away to fight the Indians in Florida but was sent back at the request of his father because he was underage for the army. I have been unable to find anything that positively connects him to any TN Gillespies. It is said that his mother was Hannah Polk (which may be an error--he had a daughter by that name) and that he had a sister named Susannah. Any info re this man? Thanks!

I am looking for surnames: GARRISON, LAIRD, DUKE, JOHNSON, PITTMAN, FARMER, JORDAN and HAEGLE. All born in the time period 1785 to 1822. They are purported to have come variously from the Virginias, the Carolinas, Ohio and Indiana through Tennessee and Kentucky and then to Illinois. In particular Martin PITTMAN b. c. 1785 in NC, was father of Joseph PITTMAN, b. 1845 in Knoxville, TN. Martin PITTMAN's wife was Achsah FARMER b. c.1810 in TN. Achsah's father was Dew FARMER. Achsah's mother was from a Huguenot line. The GARRISONs, LAIRDs,& DUKEs were said to be Scots-Irish, and the JOHNSONs were Penn Dutch. So far as we can tell, many of the families migrated as groups, following the opening of land. The JORDANs were said to be descended from Samuel, b. 1578 in Wiltshire, England. The HAEGLEs were from Virginia. Any information would be appreciated.

He is not on the 1910 census and I have no further info on him. There is talk of one of Hettie's brothers being an artist. No proof on this either. As far as James Sr., all I have on him is on Hettie's death cert. that names James and Orpha Elizabeth as her parents. I figure either James was married before he marr. Orpha and was older and died or he died as a young man or he just ran off. Does any of this sound familiar? Let me know!

By the time the 1860 census was taken, Amelia, Mary and Jeremiah had changed the spelling of their name to Dale. Amelia married John Coram. I am interested to know what happened to Hardy.

Jesse was in Tazewell Co., VA in 1820 census su he must have moved back, since that is where the family came to TN from.

Would like to trade info with anyone who has info on this famly. Also, Jesse married Rebecca ? I think her name was Whitt but need to confirm it. Do not know if they married in Tennessee or VA.

Mynatt/Bell Families
Ron Bartholomew -- Sunday, 30 April 2000, at 3:00 p.m.

Looking for information on the family of Marion Bell (B Aug 1854) and his wife Hester A Mynatt (B Apr 1845). They are listed in the 1880 Knox Co census with a daughter, Mary (age 2) and in the 1900 Knox Co census with no children. Hester evidently died between 1900 and 1910 since Marion remarried.

Any info on the parents of Hester A Mynatt would be greatly appreciated as well as any info on her daughter, Mary, and on any other children they may have had.

Thank you.
