Hello Everyone... Someone stated that they had
some Journals or Books belonging to my third great grandfather, Rev. Riley
Anderson Giddens, Sr...he was ordained into the Holston Conference of the
Methodist Epsiscopal Church in 1842. He had a land grant also in Bradley County.
He , his Mother Nancy Giddens and younger sister, Clarenda Giddens m. Isaac
Rogers , Al...and younger brother William moved to Bradley Co., from Monroe
Co., in or before 1836...when it became finally a county. In 1985 I completed
the Giddens Family History, written story form and includes my version of
Bradley Co., History along with others. The book is 185 years of this family
which includes Allied Families. Some months back a lady who is a Selvidge
Descendant like myself...told me she had email from a man , who had a journal
, books or documents Rev. Giddens wrote in his own handwriting. My Book has
a partial journal of his...this person...I think may have been referring
to a trunk owned by a Roark, Joseph. This man owned a larg

Ripley Co. Mo. Both children gave that they were born in Tn. I would like

I am at a dead end can you be of any
assistance? I am looking for info on Susan Cathryn West born January 3,
1869. Her father I believe is J. V. West (possibly Joseph V. West). Susan
Cathryn West was my g.grandmother and she married William Jasper Tallent.
She had a brother tha my grandmother called Dick West (probably Richard)
who went out west somewhere. Upon hearing of his sisters death he never wrote
or visited again and no more info is known about him. This is what I have
on J. V. West: The 1880 census book for Monroe County and it shows the following
for J. V. West: West, J.V. 75 SC SC T, M. 47 T T T wife, James 21 T, M 16(f)
T, R.J. 14 (F) T, Lucinda 12 T, Sul 9 (f) T, Richard 6 T, Jeptha 4 There
is also another West about 4 houses away: G.R. West 37 NC NC NC, C. 34 T
SC T, Paten 17 T T T nephew. And Jasper Tallent 21 hired hand is listed
next door to J. V. West in Calvin Harrison's household. Can you help me
flesh out my West line?

THOMAS family moved to Bradley CO TN
in the 1840s from Monroe Co TN. Jacob and Elizabeth were the parents. Jacob
died in Bradley Co in 1855, Elizabeth was still alive in 1876 as she applied
for a pension in that yr with son, Adam Thomas, signing it. What type of pension
would they have applied for? Jacob could not have served in the Rev War
as he was bc 1780; I can only think it might have been for War of 1812 service.
Where could I find out abt this pension? Jacob and Elizabeth had the following
children that raised families in Bradley CO: Wilson & wife, Tresa/ Adam
and wife, Lida/ Catherine Waller whose husband Beard was dead by 1850, and
possibly a son named William with wife, Marisa (I really thing this may have
been a cousin/nephew). Thanks, Bettye

Osiyo! I am almost embarrassed to ask
about my great(X3) grandfather John ROGERS. He arrived Westville OK about
1835, possibly from Hiwassee district of Cherokee land. He may have married
PIS-SAL-LA-TO-KA, daughter of ISH-MAN-CHA-HU-BEE. I don't know what that is,
but it sure doesn't sound Cherokee!
