My husband`s ggg grandfather, Thomas Marlow Sr. and his wife
Elizabeth (Betsy) Ward were married in Rhea Co. on 11-3- 1824. He
was born in VA. They then went to Campbell Co. TN. Maybe the Ward family
was originally from there? We believe his brother, Reubin also married
Susan Ward there on 12-13-1824. I`m not sure if they stayed or left. This
is all relatively new material found by our cousin. Ayy more relatives out
there?

state line of Arkansas. Elijah died August 6, 1929, and is buried in

because he is found in Oregon County, Missouri Census Sheet 6 Line 29 in

some of the family members, he was a Mormon. As you can see three of his
children were born in Missouri. I have always wondered why they moved to
Missouri and then moved back. If any one knows anything of this family

My great grandfather George W. Pritchett left Rhea Co. for Oklahoma
in 1909. George was the son of William and Priscilla Essex
Pritchett. William had lived in Rhea Co. from 1859 until his death 13
March 1916. Priscilla died in Rhea Co. 11 May 1905. William and Priscilla
where married 1 April 1863. Priscillas parents were William and Mary
Long Essex. They where married in Rhea Co. 4 Nov 1838.
William and Priscilla had the following children: George W., James Lindsay,
William J., and Polly. William was married to Laura and according to my
grandfather he went to Georgia.
James Lindsay Pritchett married Mary Texana McMillan and had the
following children: Inda Bessie, Samuel A., Charles Benton, James Harvey,
Jesse, George Levi, Robert, Alvin H., Joseph Manuel, Johnny, Daniel,
Milton. James and his family also went to Oklahoma in 1909 and appear on
the 1910 McClain Co. census. However they returned to Rhea Co. not long
after that and many of James and Marys descendants still live in the
county.
George married Martha McMillan
My father, James Edward Pritchett used to say that when they left
Oklahoma they looked like the Grapes of Wrath except the car in the movie
looked better than the one they actually had. They where very poor and
worked at anything they could. James H. and Bertha eventually bought a
boarding house. Their children have all been prosperous and hard working.

James and Elizabeth Casey were in Rhea County, according to a tax
list, by 1823. Elizabeth is shown as E. Caisy in the 1830 census,
suggesting that James was deceased. A court record in Rhea in the summer
of 1830 releases him from paying poll tax. Does anyone know what this
means? He was probably in his mid to late sixties in 1830 because he was
over 45 in 1810 (shown in the fragment of the Grainger Co., TN census that
survives.) I didn't think the poll tax extended to men over 60. Does
anyone know the specific law?
In 1840, Elizabeth and some of her children were inHamilton
Co. A release of dower, signed as Elizabeth Lewis (implying a
second marriage?), specified that she was the wife of James Casey,
deceased. Their children who were listed in the 1839 release of dower were
William (who I believe settled in McMinn Co. at an early date); James,
John, Samuel Henry, Sterling (called Star), Elizabeth who married George
Watson, Nancy who married Benjamin McKenzie and lived in
McMinn Co., and Sarah who married what looks like Ruse.
James' sister, Elizabeth Casey Blackwood, and her husband William
Blackwood also lived in Rhea County. I would like to know the
names of the Blackwood children and what happened to them. The Isaac
Bullard family listed in the 1830 Rhea census is probably a nephew
of James'. One of his sisters, Agnes, married John Bullard.
In 1842, some of the children of James and Elizabeth Casey: James,
Samuel Henry, Sterling, and Elizabeth Watson and her husband George,
moved to Webster (soon to be Wright) Co., Missouri.
I would like to learn what happened to their mother Elizabeth Casey
(Lewis?). I have never been able to locate her maiden name either.
Any help gratefully accepted. Thanks.

John Henry Blevins (1855-1929), the youngest child of John Torbett
Blevins and his wife, Florence Elizabeth (Pass)
Blevins (1864-1915), moved their family from Spring City, Rhea, TN to
Lake Creek, Lamar, TX in the late1890s. John was a farmer. His house was once
featured in the Paris, TX newspaper.
They had eight children. Luna (1883-1887) is buried in or near Spring
City.
Roy (1884-1968) was a barber in Paris, TX. Rufo moved back to Tennessee
where he was a barber. Lawrence (1892-1954) Moved to Memphis, TX where he
was a farmer. Lester (1893-1953) was a pitcher for the St. Louis
Cardinals, a carpenter, and a farmer. Clayton (1898-1973) inherited the family
farm. Robert (1899-1900) died in infancy. Paul (1902-1983) moved to
Memphis, TX where he was a barber. After Elizabeth died, John moved to
Memphis, TX, to live with Lawrence, where he eventually remarried. A niece
describes him as a "tall, good-looking, gray-haired, southern gentleman."
Clayton's son, Bill Blevins, still operates the family farm. Lester
was my grandfather.

Jiles/Giles Smith and Sarah Singleton, dt of John and
Elizabeth
Singleton
of
Rhea Co., TN. were in Barry County, MO for the 1850 Federal Census. Jiles
was the son of Charles and Nancy Jacobs Smith and was from Union
Co.,
South
Carolina to Rhea County. Charles was the son of James and Mary George
Smith
of Union County, SC and I think the George family may have had ties to
Rhea
County as well as did the Smith and Singleton family. John and Elizabeth
Singleton died in Rhea County, TN., and they are listed on the 1830 Rhea
County Census. It is interesting to look at the 1830 Rhea County,
Tennessee
census and pick out the names that are Barry Co., MO. names. It's really
unbelievable how many of these families moved over to Missouri and settled
in Southern Missouri.
