MCCOY
I am looking for information on a McCoy family, my g g grandparents, who
lived in in or near Spencer, Van Buren County from the early 1860's. At
some point before 1900 some of them moved to Barren County KY. Any information
or leads toward discovering more details of their lives will be most appreciated.
The 1880 Census information is virtually all I know about most members
of this family: Joseph, head, b. abt 1837 TN Celiana(?), wife, b. abt 1843
TN Mary J., dau, b. abt. 1862 TN Cordelia, dau, b. abt. 1865 TN John, son,
b. December 1866 TN Promelia, dau, b. abt 1868 TN George C., son, b. January
1870 TN Leodemia, dau, b. abt 1872 TN Isaiah, dau, b. March 1874 TN Bethany,
dau, b. abt 1877 TN James H., son, b. abt 1879 TN There is some indication
that Celiana may have died in or near Spencer. If there is a cemetary book
or published burial listing could some kind individual see if she is listed.
I do not know in what year she died but my suspicions are that it was sometime
in the mid

MCCOY
My McCoy ancestors resided in VanBuren County from sometimein the 1860's
until the mid 1880's. While death and burial location has been found for
many family members, I am at a loss for my gg grandmother, Celina/Selina
(Adkins) McCoy, wife of Joseph McCoy. I suspicion she died around 1886,
give or take a couple of years, and I believe the family still resided
in Van Buren County, near Spencer, at that time. Does anyone have or know
of any resources where I may find the date of her death and her burial
location? Thanks so much, Lois Card lcard@reninet.com

ONEAL, O'NEILL,
Hello, My name is Bruce Daniels and I am researching the O'NEAL family.
I have learned that JAMES O'NEAL owned land on Pauls Creek near the Goodspur
(a southern spur off the Blue Ridge Mountain). It appears that he later
conveyed this land to his JOHN in 1815. I do not know the exact location
of this land. It also appears JAMES lived on this land when it was in Patrick
County, VA and when it later became part of Grayson County, VA (1810).
I don't know who JAMES married, but it appears his children were JOHN,
JONATHON, SAMUAL, and perhaps HANNAH. I also don't know what became of
him or his children. I would enjoy working with anyone with knowledge of
him or is working this line. The Patrick Co query host suggested posting
in VanBuren Co. TN because of the number of researchers in this county
working on these surnames. Sure hope I don't waste anyones time with this
assumption.

OVERTURF, SCOTT
One of my gggrandmothers was Mary (Polly) Overturf. My gggrandfather was
Henry Scott, father of Mary's first two children, I can not find any other
reference to him. Their son, Richard Overturf/Scott married (?) Mary Ann
Shockley. Mary Ann's mother had been married before. The 1860 census show,
her sons names are given followed by a Mc. My mother thought that her grandmother
had been a McGuire(actually Shockley) was it because her father referred
to his McGuire uncles? I don't know and unfortunately there is no one left
to ask. I have put an ad in the Middle Tn Genealogy paper looking for Scott
descendents but so luck so far. I have been in communication with other
researchers but they have been unable to help me on this. Thanks for your
help. Pat
