<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Many
people in the Tri-County area can trace their family line back to a 1
3-year-old Revolutionary soldier. It all started between December 25-31,
1763, in an area known as Hanging Rock, South Carolina.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">John
Hubbs was born into a world where childhood was short lived. At age 13,
he enlisted as a Private in Captain Carson’s Company, Colonel Pickens
South Carolina Regiment. Little is known about John Hubbs’ war years,
but records have been found where he received land grants in South
Carolina in consideration for his military service. The earliest record
of this kind bears the year 1785.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">John
stayed in South Carolina long enough to marry and to have two sons,
John Hubbs, born in 1333, and William Hubbs, born in 1 . 1793.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Both
sons followed their father, in later years, to Greene County,
Tennessee. The name of' John’s first wife is not known. But. he did
state in court records that she had died after the birth of their second
child.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">While
on a trip to the stock markets in Greeneville, Tennessee, John Hubbs, a
stock driver by vocation, met and married (October 5, 1795) his second
wife, Rebecca Woolsey. In 1797, John moved his family to the Raccoon
Valey area of Knox County, Tennessee. Most of their eight children were
born there. However, their third child, Willis, was born in what is
now Orange County, Indiana. What the were doing there is not clear, but
they did return to Tennessee soon afterwards.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">the
children of this second marriage were Stephen (1798-1864), Jr.
(1800-1877), Willis (1301-1831), Joshua (1302-1866), Rutha (I803-?).
Sarah “Sally” (1805-1888), Polly (?), and Rachel (1810-?).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Our
local lines are from John's son, Stephen, and daughter. Sarah. Stephen
married Elizabeth terrell and Sarah married, Jr. They were the children
of Solomon Terrell, Sr. (I770-1847), an Knox County, Kentucky, settler.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Two
of John's other children married Woolseys, who were distant cousins of
their mother. It is thought that the Terrell and Hubbs families met
while John lived for a short time in Knox County, Kentucky.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rebecca
Woolsey Hubbs was a descendant of colonial ancestors. Her parents were
Zephaniah Woolsey(1740), who was born in Marlborough, New York, and
Sarah Woolsey (1747) was born in New York. Zephaniah and Sarah were no
closer than fourth cousins. They were the parents of 12 children,
several whom settled in Greene County, Tennessee.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Both
Woolseys trace their ancestry back to Rebecca Cornell Woolsey who was
born (1629) in County Essex, England, and was the wife of George
Woolsey. They lived in what is new the Bronx in New York City. Her
parents were Thomas Cornell (1595-1656) and Rebecca Briggs (1600-1673).
Old records prove Thomas Cronell, Jr. was hanged for the murder of his
aged mother. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ezra
Cronell, founder of Cornell University, organizer of Western Union
Telegraph Company, and whose brother became a governor of New York, was a
direct descendant off this Cornell family. William Walton Woolsey,
another direct descendant, was the President of Yale from 1846-1871.
Rebecca Briggs Cornell’s brother was the founder of Newport, Rhode
Island.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Now
back to John Hubbs...John's children were scattered across eastern
Tennessee, southeastern Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. It has been
proven that he kept in touch with all of them. Travel in those days was a
long and hard process. It could take weeks to cover a few hundred
miles. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">John's
second wife, Rebecca Woolsey Hubbs was said to have died in childbirth
before 1819. John married a widow, Mary Jones, and this marriage
produced three sons and one daughter. All of these children stayed in
Tennessee. However, this third marriage ended in divorce. In 1844 while
on a visit to his son, John Jr., he became sick and died. John left
behind at least 14 children and thousands of descendants. These
descendants from every corner of this nation, still today, gather every
other year in Tennessee for a family reunion.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Of the several hundred who attend, most of his 14 children are represented by their descendants.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hubbs
was buried in Union County (then Grainger County), Tennessee. If you go

This is the only photo I have of Thomas Brown and Julia Ann O'Brien. It's off center and has lines running through it but I'm ever so grateful for the cousin from Indiana who sent it to me! If anyone has another picture of them, I'd love to have a copy.<br />
<br />
Thomas and Julia lived in Indiana and, for a short time, Missouri. Thomas died in 1898 and Julia went on to live thirty more years as a widow.<br />

<br />
OBITUARY:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nancy Ann, daughter of Leonard and Sarah Acre, was born in Alabama in 1826, and was united in marriage to Moses Denny in 1851. To this union were born 6 children, Mrs. Thomas C. (Mary) Wilson, and George Denny of this place; Mrs. Rachel Higbee of Friendship, WI; James Denny of French Lick and John Denny of Washington; and two sons, Leonard and Anderson Gray by a former marriage.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She departed this life March 6, 1915, age 89 years, 1 month and 27 days. "Aunt" Nancy united with the U.B. Church when she was quite young and was true to her faith in every sense of the word.<br />
Asleep in Jesus, Blessed Sleep for which none ever wake to weep.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For several years she had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. T.C. Wilson. Aunt Nancy was a kind wife and loving mother, and was loved by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed in our community.<br />
Her husband and two children preceded her to the Great beyond. She leaves beside her children 40 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren and one great, great, grandchild.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Funeral services were conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. T.C. Wilson by Rev. Wm.

<br />
Saint Rose Catholic Church near Springfield in Washington County, Kentucky (see map), is the church some of our ancestors belonged to, and several were buried in the adjoining cemetery. The Greens, the Warrens, and many other Catholic families from Maryland, immigrated to Kentucky in the late 1700's through the early 1800's.<br />
<br />
Thomas E. Green married Jane Warren in Washington County, Kentucky in 1819. It's likely that they were married in the original church building of Saint Rose, part of which still exists. It became part of the new building and is now the Eucharistic Chapel.<br />
<br />
The register of Saint Rose Church shows that John M. Warren (#34) and his wife, called "Old Mrs. Warren (#35) were buried in the Saint Rose Cemetery. Thomas E. Green (#16) and his wife, Jane Warren Green (#17) were also buried there. Thomas E. Green's brother, James, married Jane's sister, Nancy. Though many of our ancestors were buried in the Saint Rose Cemetery, not many have headstones. The headstone of our closest ancestor buried there (shown above) belongs to Jane's sister, Nancy Warren Green.Caroleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16105085965181698420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331743892485171644.post-49820309927178568842011-03-29T10:50:00.000-07:002011-07-25T19:38:39.360-07:00Biographical Sketch of #12 - Thomas Hart<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Mr. Willis Hubbs and Mrs. Willis Hubbs were listed among the members of Berea Church of Christ (aka The Church of Christ of Indian Creek) in Morgan County, Illinois in January, 1867. Lists of members of the church in other years include other members of the Hubbs family and some of their in-laws.<br />
<br />
The following statement was written when the church was first organized in 1851. The information came from a record which was transcribed on a web page regarding <a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Eilmaga/morgan2/mcch_berea.html">Berea Church History</a>.<br />
<br />
Copied from the Original Book, Berea Church of Chirst:<br />
<br />
"Morgan Schoolhouse No. 2, Aug. 15, 1851<br />
We, the body of Christ, agree to organizing ourselves after the primitive practice to watch over one another and admonish each other, for our good, to take the scriptures of the old and new testaments for our rule of faith and practice. <br />
<br />
That for practice, the new is sufficient, but for faith both are required. To call ourselves by the name given to Christians in the primitiave age by the Apostles-definitely called Christians-the followers of Christ. We agree to continue steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine, in fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayers. Further as the primitive organizaitons were named according to locations so that they might be addressed or called upon by the traveling brethren, therefore we agree to known as the Church of Christ of Indian Creek, meeting at Morgan Schoolhouse No. 2."Caroleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16105085965181698420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331743892485171644.post-73881027883947581462011-02-08T14:44:00.000-08:002011-02-13T18:12:13.303-08:00#4 - James T.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This photo came to me from a distant cousin through marriage, Martha Westenbarger Greene. She had it in her family files. It's a picture of James and Myra with Harold and Fred. The date is not given, but Fred was born 2 October 1904, and it looks like he's about two years old. The background looks like early spring, but it's hard to tell in a black and white photo.

"</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A land patent is a document recording the passing of a land title from the government, or other proprietor, to the patentee/grantee.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the time of the 1850 Census, Sylvester was said to own real estate valued at $300, so this appears to be an additional piece of property.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Although the spelling of Sylvester's last name </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">on this document </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">is "O'Brian", other records show the spelling as "O'Brien" and "O'Brient".

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thomas and Julia Ann (O'Brien) Brown moved their family from Indiana to Liberty Township, Crawford County, Missouri sometime between the birth of Myra (our ancestor) in 1867 and the birth of Teresa in 1870. Crawford County is 80 miles west south west of St. Louis and 275 miles from Martin County, Indiana. It's likely the Browns made the move for an opportunity for Thomas to earn money. It's reported in the 1870 Census that Thomas is a "collier", or coal miner. The birth of the next child of Thomas and Julia was in Indiana. Apparently, they weren't in Missouri for long.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These pages are from Morgan County, Illinois Will Book B, pages 233-235. The book is found in SLC at the Family History Library Film #1317859. The first page is Ezekiel Rutherford's will and the second two pages are testimony of the will and it's entry into probate. The third page says that Ezekiel died "on or about the 13th day of February" 1856, but his headstone states it was February 14, 1856. Notice that Willis Hubbs, Matilda's father, was one of the witnesses to the will.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Two distant cousins shared digital images of Anderson Gray's death certificate with me. The front of the certificate is above, and the back of the certificate is below. From the certificate we learn, as another record had also stated, that Anderson's father, Michael, was born in Ireland. Also, the certificate gives Anderson's birth and death dates, age at death, occupation, etc. Note that the certificate inaccurately shows that the name of Anderson's mother is "Mary" instead of "Nancy". </span><br />

His death certificate says that senility was one of the causes of his death, but these letters make it obvious that he was able to think and reason at the time they were written. Though the doctor released Anderson, and Anderson asked his son and daughter-in-law to take him home, he died at the hospital a few weeks after the letters were written. While it's heartbreaking to read the letters and find that he was apparently never brought home, we don't know all the circumstances of the situation. Thanks to a distant cousin our ours, at least we have a copy of a letter Anderson wrote, and we know somewhat more about him.</span><br />

<u><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Matilda; Wife of A. Gray; Died July 26, 1872; Aged 24 Ys. 8M. 17 D.</b></span></u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Matilda Hubbs was the wife of Anderson Gray and the mother of one known child, Anna Gray. Anna Frances Green told me she was told that Anna Gray was "an orphan from Ohio". Research led me to the marriage record of Anna's father, Anderson, to Matilda Hubbs in Morgan County, <u>Illinois</u>, <i>not Ohio</i>. (Family stories are not always accurate, but that's the purpose of research. Anna lost her mother, not her father, and so she was not truly an orphan.) Matilda's family had lived in Indiana but moved to Illinois. Anderson most likely knew the family when they lived in Indiana, and then went to Illinois where he married Matilda. Anna was born in Illinois two and a half years after Anderson and Matilda were married. Matilda died just six years later. After Matilda's death, Anderson and Anna moved back to Martin County where Anderson remarried.</span></td></tr>
