George was born in Benton County on Christmas day, the 25th of December of 1867. He married on November 3, 1887 to Ada Lee Elmore, who was born on Febuary 4, 1867. She was the daughter of Newton C. Elmore, born in 1845 and died December 16, 1878, and Nancy Ann Rushing, born, May 29, 1849, (Date of death not on her tombstone.) George Washington Florence was a cotton farmer and was licenced to preach in Lexington, Tennessee in 1893. He was the Pastor of some of the prominent Churches of the Central Tennessee Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church. He was at one time, Church Bishop and was elected Secretery of the Conference. In the years of 1928-1932, was elected Alternative Delegate of the Last Quadrennial Session of the General Conference. He professed his faith in Christ at the age of 27 and joined the Central Tennessee Conference in 1895. Between the years of 1916-1918, he was also District Superintendent of the Lawrenceburg District at Lexington, Tennessee in Henderson County. During the building of a Methodist Church in Benton County, George fell off of the steeply slanted roof into a ditch which resulted in his back being broken. He was carried on a bed sheet to the home of a local Methodist Minister where he spent several weeks in recovery. He retired in the fall of 1933 because of ill health. The last six years of his career was devoted to a pastorate in Lexington, Tennessee. His wife, Ada, died of a cereabral hemmorage after getting overheated working with a calf. She died on July 13, 1934. George died the next year on July 26, 1935 of heart dropsy. They both are buried at Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church Cemetery in Benton County.

George Washington Florene Obituary Submitted by Dan Florence KEY FAMILY by Mrs Shirlee K. Key article #614 page 354 of: "The Heritage of Rockingham County North Carolina 1983 Our family can look back on a series of western moves that started from Rockingham County in the early 1800s. There are eight generations from our grandson, Aaron B. Key born in 1982 in Portland, Oregon back to William Key of Rockingham County who we find first recorded in 1802. William, born in 1770 to 1780, was probably a son or nephew of Thomas Key, a farmer on Hogans Creek. Thomas and Mary Key and their family were among the early settlers of the Hogans Creek area of Rockingham County. They migrated to the area about 1786 from the Nutbush Creek area of Vance County, North Carolina. Due to a progression of county line changes the various records of Thomas Key and his wife Mary are in the Grandville and Warren county records from 1769 to 1785. Apparently many of their neighbors also moved west. Names of Paschall, Sims, Hammock, Sartin, Tuggle and Bullock appear in both the Hogans Creek and Nutbush Creek areas. There are Rockingham County deed records of Thomas Key witnessing a deed in 1787, purchasing 150 acres from William Washington in 1788 and purchasing 98 acres adjoining the Caswell County line in 1791. Thomas and Mary Key sold 40 acres to Samuel Watt in 1793 and Thomas Key bought 100 acres from James Watt in 1799. The last deed mentions the property "is on the waters of Hogans Creek by a certain tract of land where the said Thomas Key now lives". Local residents looking over the deeds suggest his property lay on the north side of the present Tate Road, on fourth mile east of Hogan Creek and about one-half mile west of the county line. Besides William there were three other men of the Key surname that are of an age to be sons of Thomas. The U. S. Census, Rockingham County records Garland and John in 1800; Garland, John and Criswell in 1810; John and Criswell in 1820; and John in 1830. All lived near the residence of Thomas Key. William was not recorded in 1800 as probably he was not married until 1804 and was likely out of the county before the 1810 census. His son wWilliam was born in Tennessee in 1812. Of the four men, Garland, John, Criswell and William, only Garland left a documented list of his family. In his will dated January 24, 1816 Garland Key lists his wife "Rebeccah" and children "Fanny (Frances), Dolly (Dorothy), Pheby, Linda (Malinda?), Sally, Betsy, Peton (Peyton, John, Garland, and Terry". As Key was an uncommon name in the area, the following North Carolina county marriage bonds are likely to be for the children of Garland. Rockingham: Frances Key and William Hall (Hale) 1824; Dorothy Key and Sweptson Wilson, 1816. Caswell County; Phoebe Key and Bird Covington, 1826; Sarah Key and James Harrison, 1831 Stokes County: Peyton Key and Elizabeth Harrison, 1831. Also Garland Key (Jr.) Is reported to have married Melissa A. Layton. Dorothy, Frances, Peyton, Terry and possibly Sarah moved to Henry County Tennessee in the 1830s. Criswell (born 1770-1780) was married to Betty Canady according to family tradition. In 1831 church records his wife is listed as Phoebe. Criswell was received into membership of Lick Fork Primitive Baptist Church in 1802, and was an active faithful member for many years. In 1811 he was made a deacon. In 1831 Criswell and at least part of his family moved to Henry County, Tennessee near the town of Puryear. Here he and his wife Phoebe joined the North Fork Baptist Church which was formed three years earlier with help of Chriswell's brother William nd some of his former North Carolina neighbors including Jesse and Rebecca (Wilson) Paschall. Garland who married Frances Lynn and raised a large family in Henry County. Probably the William of the eastern part of the county and Criswell of Obion County were other son of Criswell. William Key, our ancestor and the fourth possible son of Thomas, was born from 1770 to 1780. According to their grandsons, William and Criswell were born in Pennsylvania. If this is true it creates some doubt that their father could be Thomas as it appears he was in North Carolina by 1769. The only knowledge of William in Rockingham County comes from the church records. He joined Lick Fork Primitive Baptist Church by baptism in June of 1802 and left in 1807 after several request for a letter of transfer. William had four sons; Thomas T. (Thompson?) Born in 1805 North Carolina; Garland Wash born 1807 North Carolina; William Welborn, born 1812 Tennessee, and John L. born 1815, Tennessee. Names of his wife and daughters have been lost. Movements of the family are a mystery from the time William withdrew from the church until the family surfaced in the recently opened land of Henry County, Tennessee. Again, it is the church records that help us spot him. Minutes of North Fork Baptist Church near the town of Puryear show William was received into membership in 1828. He held various position until 1832 after which there is no mention of him. His sons married and had children in the area. Thomas T. Key (1805-1838) married Poly (Mary Ann) Paschall, the daughter of Jessie Paschall about 1829. Thomas owned and farmed a large tract of land near the Paschalls. He joined the North Fork Church in 1834 and gave property to the church for a building site. The children of Thomas were Rebecca, Sylvester, Franklin A. (1832-1864), Carroll J. and Elizabeth Ann. Franklin married Frances A. E. Jones in 1854 and moved to Obion County, Tennessee where he farmed until he lost his life as a soldier for the northern army. He left five children including Adoniram (1855-1927). Adoniram struck out for the western frontier as had each generation of his forefathers and settled in Pierce City, Missouri. He married Flora Deisz and managed a hardware store. He was a respected man of the community and a Deacon of the Baptist church. He had four sons and of these, Clarence Norton (1895-1972) headed west with his wife Carrie (Linderman) for Seattle, Washington. They have two surviving children, Barbara (Mrs A. C. Hill and David W. Key (1927- ). Barbara remained in Seattle and David was transferred about the country. David and his wife Shirlee (Kinnane) have tow children, Eileen C. and Brian D., Brian married (1955-) married Susan Matheson and has a son Aaron. It has been an absorbing task to sort out and follow my husband's family west from Rockingham County. They have always been on the cutting edge of the country's development and still put their faith in God as a top priority as William and Criswell did nearly 200 years ago.

Widow's Pension Mary Frances Akers in her application for Civil War Pension stated that she lived in Faxon, Benton Co., Tenn. She lived in Tennessee all her life, was born in Benton Co., Tenn. in 1841 and her maiden name was Wilson. Her husband was Benjamin F. Akers, born in Benton Co., Tenn. They were married there by J. Davidson, Esq. Mr. Akers died Feb. 13, 1914. They had (?) children, ages thirty to sixty. Mrs. Akers lived with her daughter. Witness who was named for support was J. C. Parker, Faxon, Tenn. March 1, 1914, signed by Homer Parker. Part II. Witnesses James H.

Akers' husband during the years from 1862 to 1865, and know of my own personal knowledge that he joined the Confederate army near the beginning of the war of 1861 to 1865; that he remained in the service for several months, and that he came home disabled from duty; that he was not physically able for duty as a soldier during the remainder of the war. This disability as I have always understood has been attributed to a wound which he received at the battle of Shiloh. Part IV Letter from J.C. Parker, Sheriff: On October 28th, 1914, Mr. J.C. Parker, the sheriff of Benton Co., wrote to Mr. Frank A. Moses, Pension Examiner in Nashville: "I was a neighbor of Mr. Akers for the last twenty five years of Mr. Aker's life, and he was regarded as an honest, upright gentleman in every respect. And I do know further he drew a pension as an old soldier, and we cannot see why his aged widow can not draw it, as they were married in 1868, and is now very old and in destitute circumstances." Part V The War Department, The Adjutant General's Office, Washington, September 04, 1908: "It is known by the records that B.F. Akers, private, Company E, 5th Tennessee Infantry, Confederate, States Army, enlisted May 10, 1861. On the muster roll of that organization dated August 16, 1862, the last on which his name appears, he es reported absent, with remark: 'deserted May 20'." Part VI Benton Co. Tennessee, April 17, 1914: " John R. Hawkins and John Garner (swear) that they have known the late B.F. Akers and wife Mary F. Akers for 45 years, that they were married sometime in the year of 1863 and lived together as husband and wife until his death." Part VII Benton Co. Joseph Davidson, J.P. "This is to certify that B.F. Akers and Mary F. Childress were united in Marriage by me at Little Creek on the 5th day of January in the year of our Lord 1863 in the presence of W.H. Wheatley and Henry Wynn." "This is the best proof available as the county records were destroyed about the close of the war, and the witnesses to the marriage are all dead." Homer Parker, N.P.
