Sherry, Thanks for lookup...right name but I'm trying to find next generation, specifically John Burk Jr's son, John Burk III b.1839 TN & also his brother James Burk b.1833. Having trouble finding these 2 young men. Have reason to believe one or both might have gone to Texas as their father made a trip to Texas in Dec 1862-Jan 1863 to get a daughter-in-law and contracted cholera on the boat ride home, was put off in Louisana, died there (29 Jan 1863) and buried on the banks of the Red River. Can't find a name for d-i-l he went after or if she came back with him. He had 4 sons but John III & James are only ones who were/maybe married by 1863. Could you please check your 1860 index for a Stephen Crawford Jones b.1826 TN w/wife Elizabeth b. 1829. This if Rev.John Burk's oldest child & I've only been able to find her in 1850 Bradley Co.TN living next door to her parents. Thanks again for your help. Do you tie into this family ? Becky

I am trying to find out info on my g-grandfather, Andrew Jack Shoemaker (changed from Shoemake/Shewmake or Shumock) born in Tennessee in May 1860 and a Cherokee. He was in Hopkins County TX in Oct 1886 when he married my g-grandmother, Frances Fannie Eudora Rippy. They had five children; Mary Melissa (Mellie), William Noah Elmer, John Bascom, Eva Mae or Maud (born & died in infancy in Polk Co ARK 1900) and my grandmother, Era Andrew. I have them in Polk County ARK on the 1900 census, but do know they went back to Hopkins County TX since my grandmother was born there in 1902. He left Fannie either before or after Era was born in 1902 (she re-married to Geo. Benedict in Lamar Co TX in 1903) We believe he went to Oklahoma but not sure. His parents came and told about some kind of trouble in OK. They left and then shortly after so did he. I need to find out his birth info or anything about his family.

Thanks for the reply. I found the listing for the Lee Cemetery. My GGrandparents are buried on one side of the cemetery. We have visited there. I was very shoccked at the disrepair of some of the tombstones. We took pictures of many og the tombstones. There is another Lee cemetery on the west side of Cleveland, TN., up on a hill. My GreatGreatGrandfatherr is buried there. His name is William James Carter. His daughter, Elizabeth married my GGrandfather, Rufus Wrinkle. William was the first sheriff of Bradley County.

Please help me find the parents of John Harrison Robertson,(1801-1857). He was born in NC. He was Bradley Co. Clerk of Court and married Naomi Shelton. They had ten children--most of whom are buried in Cleveland. His son, James Shelton Robertson married Elvira, daughter of Euclid Waterhouse. I would like to know if he is related to General James Robertson, founder of Nashville. I understand his father's name was John. With common names like John and James, it is hard to make connections.

While I don't have the exact information that you are seeking, there could be a connection between our Cowans:1) James and Mary Elizabeth are names that figure prominently in my data and the general migration pattern from East TN to North TX for some of the Cowans and in that time frame is similar.

My ancestor,William Wallace Cowan (1800-1854)was the son of James A. Cowan(1770s-1841) and Elizabeth(last name unknown). He had three sisters: Evalina Cowan Camp, Mary Elizabeth Cowan McCarty, and Jane M. Cowan Russell along with three brothers: Joseph, John H., and James Archibald Roane Cowan. All married (W.W. Cowan and J.A.R. Cowan each married twice)and all were prolific. They followed, in part, the naming patterns of the Scotch-Irish for their many descendants. I suspect that your ancestor was among the large group of descendants.

The East Tennessee stronghold of James Cowan and his children seemed to be in the Meigs,Rhea, Bradley and McMinn area. Of course, I descend from W.W. Cowan and his son, W.W.Cowan,Jr.(1844-1911) and the latter migrates to Tarrant, then Denton County, TX by 1880. I've worked out that line fairly well (of course, needing desperately the ancestry of this James Cowan) but am just beginning on the lines of James sibs. I have a handful of Mary Elizabeths and Mary Anns and James', but not one matches the dates you provided. Thus, this is not too helpful, but I appreciate your writing and will keep your info on file. I do note in an index of Bradley County Wills(1883-1905)that there is one for James Lacey. Let's keep diggin'

I am looking for ANY information on my ggrandmother, Mary Elizabeth Cowan. Born June 23, 1871. Died July 2, 1899 in Altoga, Collin County, Texas. Although there are other Cowans buried at Altoga Cemetery, we can not make a confirmed link. They are James M. Cowan(B.10/12/1848), Sara Ann Lacy Cowan 3/2/1843). James and Sarah were married in 1868 in Tennessee, we believe Bradley County.

There is also a Mary A. Cowan Strode buried at Altoga who may be related. B. 3/23/1849, D. 3/27/1921, Married a Jahu Strode (12/8/1818-5/1/1891).

Anita, someone else will probably be able to give you more information, because my 1870 Bradley Co. book is only an index. I will at least go ahead and give you what I can from it. The index simply shows the names of all the members in one family in alpha order.

Calvin is in Dist. 8, Family 16. The other members of this family are Catherine and Lucy.

Thomas is in Dist. 9, Family 66. With him are Ephrain, Esther, Jackson, Jane, Susan, and Wesley.
