GILLEY AND BUSH
Updated message due to new email address - I'm researching my family
and could use some help. My great grandfather was William Washington
Gilley (I believe he was born in May, 1862). He married Malinda Izora
Bush (born December 10, 1863, I believe) sometime in the 1880's.
[Note; there is a Cannon Co. marriage recorded, between William
Gilley and "Linnie" Bush, on 5/28/1883] They migrated to Texas in the
early 1900's. My grandmother and her siblings all claim they came
from Gilley Hill - but my grandmother, Edith, said she was born in
Murfreesboro.
Children's names were: Howard, Captain Arthur, John Sherman, Morris,
Walter, Edith Hazeltine (my grandmother), Elizabeth Malinda, and
Drusilla. (I believe there was another female child who was either
stillborn or died in infancy)
Does anyone, by chance have any information on birthdates, full
names, William Washington's and Malinda's parents, grandparents,
etc.?

CANNON COUNTY MURDER MYSTERY. PITTS AND YOUNG
Would like to find out details about an infant drowning that took
place in Woodbury TN. Between 1889-1893
My Great Grandpa William PITTS claimed that his first marriage was to
a girl named Laura YOUNG in Cannon co. and that soon after the birth
of their first child, his wife drowned the baby in a rainbarrel and
that he was nearly hung for the murder of his baby until his wife
confessed to doing it herself.
William PITTS and Laura YOUNG were married in Cannon co. TN. in
November of 1889. William PITTS remarried in 1893 to Della Thomas,
daughter of William THOMAS and Catherine ELKINS. William and Della
moved to Union Co. IL. about 1900 where they lived the remainder of
their lives.
I believe but am not certain that Laura YOUNG may be Mary Laura YOUNG
daughter of James YOUNG and Martha PRESTON of Cannon Co. (Dist 7 on
1880 Census)
This is not to dig up trash on anyones family. Every family has had
tragedy. I would like to find out what motivated laura YOUNG to do
this and where she ended up ?

BOGLE, HERNDON
Our family history states that my gr gr grandmother, Sarah Amirah
BOGLE Herndon, was the oldest daughter of William R. Bogle and Julia
Elytte JONES. Our research has identified many sources which verifies
this including: Sarah's tombstone, Cannon County marriage records,
her husband's obituary, Cannon deed records, and great similarity in
the names of Sarah and her children with W R Bogle family, e g, Sarah
Amirah is named after her grandmothers, Sarah Witherspoon and Amiah
Fugua. We have DNA test results for a known descendant of Nancy
Malinda BOGLE, daughter of W R Bogle, and Sarah Amirah BOGLE Herndon.
The results are a total match in all aspects. The biggest mistake to
overcome has been the listing of Sarah Amirah as Amos on the 1850
census for W. R. Bogle household even though the person is listed as
a female and 8 years old (born in 1842 same as Sarah). No other
evidence that an Amos existed has ever been found. We would be happy

I am searching for the death date and burial location for William M
McFerrin [son of William McFerrin and Jane Duncan Laughlin] who was
alive in the 1860 Cannon CO Census and lived about 8 miles east of
Murphresboro. He came to the area from Virginia when it was still
part of Rutherford CO. His sons were Alexander Frazier [died 23 Aug
1879 in Cannon CO], Burton Lytton [died 24 Jul 1881 in Coffee CO],
and Edmond { in 1870 census in Cannon CO]. Was William's wife
Elizabeth Martin or Elizabeth Frazier?

BARRETT, ESCUE
I'm searching for information regarding my grandfather and
grandmother.
My grand father was James Houston Barrett born in Cannon County on
Sept. 29, 1882. I believe his father and mother to be William
Barrett and Betty Gannon Barrett. His brothers were Johnny Aubrey
Barrett (2/8/1884-11/8/1948), Clark Barrett and Wiley Barrett all of
Cannon County. His sisters were Ellie or Ellen Barrett (Fann) of
McMinnville, Nora Barrett (Alexander or Mathis) and Eudia or Endie
Barrett (Mathis) both of Centertown and Nannie Barrett (Gather).
My Grandmother was Dora Angie Escue (Barrett) born in or near Cannon
County on July 8, 1886. Her mother was Nicia J. Escue born in
Tennessee in 1854. I believe Nicia's maiden name was Tenpenny and
her husband name was George Escue.
Nicia moved with James Houston and Dora Angie to Troup, Texas around
1916. Please contact me with information.

CUMMINGS, WEST, ALLEN (ALDEN,ALDERN)
William CUMMINGS was born in 1824 (1814 by some accounts), I
believe, in Warren Co. In 1845 he married Manerva (ALDEN*) in Cannon Co. The
couple appear with their children in the 1850 and the 1860 census reports in Warren
Co. An early 1870s Cannon court document places them in Indian Territory. I am
searching for William's ancestral lines. I have seen one account that a Benjamin CUMMINGS had
a son born in the 1824 range, but found no follow-up. I am also looking for
info on their descendants.
*Manerva (ALDEN,ALDERN) 's maiden name was WEST. In the early 1840s
she married Samuel ALLEN. I have not seen the original record of her 1845
marriage to William CUMMINGS, but printed accounts record her family name at the time of
the marriage as ALDEN or ALDERN. It should be ALLEN.
