Harvey Roddy Thu Aug 28 17:37:30 1997
Roddy, Russell, Martin, Boulton Does anyone have any record of Harvey RODDY and Isaac RODDY? Isaac RODDY was the son of Col. James RODDY and Lydia Russell RODDY, born 1790 or 92 in Jefferson County. He married Mary MARTIN April 19, 1821 in Jefferson County. Harvey RODDY is believed to be Isaac's son but I can't find any record of his having a child by the name of Harvey. Harvey RODDY married Martha Jane Boulton 1838 in Rhea County. Could Harvey be the son of Isaac's brother William (not traced) or maybe a half brother, since Col. James Roddy was married twice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ryan, Williams I am seeking George A. RYAN (1827-1889 or 1826-1886), who came from Nelson Co., VA, sometime around 1858-59. George married Lucinda Fortune in Nelson Co., and remained married until her death in 1856. Afterward, he married Margaret WILLIAMS (1846-1901). George abandoned his first family when the children were infants (1858-59). He apparently lived in the Jefferson City area and had more children. George shows up with his son, William H. (b. 1854), in the 1870 census for Grainger County. George is listed as married to Margaret in the 1880 census, and they are buried at the Bean Station Baptist Church Cemetery. George was a tailor and sold groceries. Why is this person significant? George was the father of Thomas Fortune Ryan (1851-1928), one of the 10 richest men in the world at the turn of the century! I am doing the Fortune family tree and need to know what happened to him after he abandoned his wife and children in Virginia.

Miranda also known by Nancy. She married Eli HOWELL, March 1, 1856, in Jefferson County, TN. Son Robert HOWELL (b. ca. 1856). Howell marriage did not last long [no divorce record found to date ]. Nov. 29, 1858, in Grainger County, TN., Nancy married my G/G grandad, Duncan HASH [1838/40 -1900/10], who had just ended a brief marriage himself, in Whitley Co., KY! Son (my great-grandad) John HASH [b. 1859, Grainger Co., TN, d. 1935]. Hashes separated in the last years, but both buried in Corbin, Ky. On 1860 Knox Co., KY, census. After 1860, Howell child is not found. Nancy may have been hiding her 1st child from Eli Howell, who later "collected" his son. My grandmother's older brother told me of a trip to Morristown, Tn., area as a very young man. His father introduced him to a "uncle he had never heard of before"! Uncle was involved in some sort of wood business; possibly "missing child" Robert Howell? My great-uncle could not remember any more about meeting. Nancy Miranda ROBINSON HOWELL HASH had 11 more children with 2nd husband, most of whom migrated to Eureka, California, in early 1900's. I seek any leads on this family and will share all I have.

Furgerson / Ferguson / Fergason, Bruce Seek info on my ggrandparents, John Wesley FURGERSON (FERGUSON, FERGASON, etc.) and Mahuldia BRUCE FURGERSON.

Jacks, Irwin, Eckel Richard JACKS, Jr., was born in Surry Co., NC 31 Jully 1831. He married Sarah DAY 29 Sep 1794. He and his family moved from NC to Jefferson Co., TN, arriving 17 Mar 1819 where he lived until his death, 31 Jul 1831. Just prior to his death he had made a sale of his property preparatory to moving to IN. Two of his sons, Reuben and Palemon had married sisters, Hannah and Jane IRWIN (IRVIN?). in Jefferson Co. but had moved on to IN before their father's death. Because Reuben had a son he named Samuel ECKEL, my great-grandfather, and because I have been told Richard was buried in the ECKEL cemetery in White Pine, TN, I feel it is likely that is the maternal line the IRWIN girls. I would like to correspond with anyone with information regarding these families.
