1910 Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee

William A. Allen married second Lydia Catherine Harrison, who was the daughter of my gg grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, Lydia was the sister of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison who married William Harley (Harley) Bryan.

Robert Miller in HN 34 was the father of William A. Allen's first wife, whose given name I don't know.  Sura S. was Robert Miller's second wife, and was not the mother of William A. Allen's first wife.

Charles Allen in HN 31 was the brother of William A. Allen.

Lydia Catherine Harrison died in 1912, and William A. Allen married third Rebecca Frances (Cricket) Slaton.  Cricket Slaton was the daughter of William P. Slaton and Rebecca Swann.  As such, Cricket was the niece of my gg grandmother Susan A. Slaton.  Also, Cricket Slaton and Lydia Catherine Harrison were first cousins, with Lydia being William A. Allen's second wife and Cricket being his third wife.

Daniel (Dan) Harrison was the son of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, Dan was the brother of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison who married William Harley (Harley) Bryan.

Mary Emily Ethel (Ethel) Cox was the daughter of my great grandparents George Jackson Cox and Clarissa Loretta (Retta or Rett) Nichols.  As such, Ethel was the sister of my grandmother Ruby Priscilla Cox who married Emmert Oral Bryan.  It is correct that Ethel was 13 years old when she was married.  She was only following family tradition because her mother Rett Nichols had married at the age of 12.

Dan Harrison and Ethel Cox were known to my father as Uncle Dan and Aunt Ethel.

Claude Eugene Rimmer age 8 later married first Flora B. Cox and married second Lelia Pearl Cox.  Flora and Lelia were sisters, daughters of James Harmon Cox and Ola Maud Cline.  James was the son of my second great grandparents John Tivis Cox and Nancy Ann Pierce.  As such, James was the brother of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

Although Claude was listed as a hired man, he was really a family member.  He was the first cousin once removed of Cornelius Rimmer and Harris Webb (Webb) Rimmer.  Claud was the son of William Rimmer and Mary Elizabeth Hart, the grandson of Joseph Warren Rimmer and Elizabeth (Bettie) Line, and the great grandson of William James Rimmer and Mary A. Whitfield.  Cornelius and Webb were sons of Joseph Warren Rimmer and Elizabeth (Bettie) Line, and grandsons of William James Rimmer and Mary A. Whitfield.

Samuel B. Shrader and Mary A. Kincannon were the parents of William Arnold (Will) Shrader and Henry C. Shrader.  Will and Henry were brothers who married the sisters Jessie Pearl Cox and Grace A. (Gracie) Cox, respectively.

Jessie and Gracie were the daughters of William Nelson Cox and Mary Ella (Ella) Cline.  As such, Jessie and Gracie were nieces of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

The birthplaces for all the children should have been TN MO GA.  Eugene's birthplaces were probably listed differently than the other siblings because his listing was on the next page.

The two children not listed were Daniel W. Shrader who died in 1895 and Joseph Blaine Shrader who died in 1981.  So Mary should have been listed with 7 children, 6 living.

Mahala Slaton was the daughter of Joseph Flippin Slaton and Mary Elizabeth Bell.  Joseph Flippen Slaton was the son of my fourth great grandparents William Slaydon and Susannah Flippin.  As such, Joseph was the brother of my third great grandfather Thomas Fielden Slaton, and Mahala was the first cousin of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Mahala Slaton married Ezekial Harrison (Harrison) Williams on 24 Aug 1907 at about the age of 45.  It was her first marriage, and there was no issue.

Stella Rickard age 10 later married Frank M. Bryan.  Frank was the son of Silas Amberson Bryan and Amanda Melzina (Mandy) Slaton.  As such, Frank was the nephew of my great grandfather William Harley (Harley) Bryan.  Also, Aunt Mandy was the niece of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Stella was the daughter of Arthur Rickard and Victoria Van Dyke.

Lon Harrison Williams age 3 later married Edna Omage Bryan.  Aunt Edna was the sister of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan.

Uncle Lon was the son of Oliver Williams and Dollie.  Uncle Lon was named for his grandfather Ezekial Harrison (Harrison) Williams.  Dollie was almost certainly older than 21 years old in 1910, at least 25 and possibly older.

William Nelson Cox was the son of my second great grandparents John Tivis Cox (see HN 141 below) and Nancy Ann Pierce.  As such, William was the brother of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.  William was born 31 Jul 1878 and died 10 Jan 1939.  He married Ella Cline.  Based on this census entry, Ella's name must have been Mary Ella Cline and she was known as Ella.  Roy Lee Cox was born 17 Oct 1893 and married Obie Lillian (Lillian) Howell.  Jessie Pearl Cox was born 9 Jan 1895 and married Will Schrader.  Grace Cox was born 18 Sep 1896 and married H.C. Schrader.  John Harvey Cline Cox was born 2 Dec 1902, married first Daisy Miller, and married second Inez Greenlee.

John David Harrison was the son of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, John was the brother of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison and the children were first cousins of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan.

It is very strange so see the listing for "John Harrison Jr." because John's full name was John David Harrison and his father was Joseph Harrison.  Also, his wife was listed as his daughter even though both of them were married and had been married to each other for seven years.  Finally, the spelling of Jacob William (Jake) Harrison's given name was very creative.

Lillie May Moore was the daughter of Samuel Walker (Walker) Moore and Laura Isadora Webster.  Lillie was the niece of Mary Ann Moore who married Susan Slaton's brother Frances Marion (Frank) Slaton.

Laura Susan Harrison was no doubt named for her grandmothers Laura Isadora Webster and Susan A. Slaton.  Lillie had three children, two living.  The infant who died before the 1910 census was George Walker Harrison.  He no doubt was named for his grandfather Samuel Walker Moore.

Anderson Cox was the son of my third great grandfather Riley Cox and Riley's second wife Mary Marinda (Marinda) Pierce.  As such, Anderson was the much younger half brother of my second great grandfather John Tivis Cox (see HN 141 below).  John Tivis Cox's mother was my third great grandmother Frances (Franky) Price.  Also, Mary Marinda (Marinda) Pierce was the sister of my second great grandmother Nancy A. Pierce who married John Tivis Cox.  As such, Anderson Cox was the first cousin of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

Anderson's wife was Nancy Cordelia (Cordelia) Brimer.

This may have beeen Mel Cox rather than Mil Cox.  In any case, I have not been able to identify who he or his sister were.  They were surely related to the other Coxes living in adjacent houses.

James Harmon Cox was the son of my second great grandparents John Tivis Cox and Nancy Ann Pierce (see HN 141 below).  As such, James was the brother of my g gramdfather George Jackson Cox.

Ola Maud Cline was the daughter of Erasmus Harvey (Rasmus) Cline and Julia Emily (Emily) Gass.

Flora Cox was born 27 Oct 1896, died 8 Jan 1921, married Claude Eugene Rimmer.  Ersie Cox was born 25 Sep 1898, died 29 Apr 1922.

Elmer Robert was really Robert Elmer Cox who was known as Elmer.  Elmer Cox was born 14 Mar 1901, died 12 Nov 1981, and married Lydia Ethel (Ethel) Bryan who was my grandfather's sister.  They raised my father for several years because my father's mother died shortly after he was born.

Elmer Cox and Ethel Bryan were not related (not cousins who married or anything like that), but I am related to both of them.  In particular, Ethel was the sister of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan and Elmer was the first cousin of Emmert's wife Ruby Priscilla Cox.

Neva Cox was born 23 Aug 1903, married Harry S. Schrader.  Lelia Pearl Cox was born 2 May 1906, married Claude Eugene Rimmer.  Claude Eugene Rimmer married first Flora Cox and married second Flora's sister Lelia after Flora died.  He had children by both sisters.  Faye Gladys Cox was born 16 Jun 1909, died 28 Jun 1911.

Both John Tivis Cox and Martha P. Reneau were my second great grandparents.  However, they had no children together.  John Tivis Cox's first wife was my second great grandmother Nancy Ann Pierce.  Martha P. Reneau's first husband was my second great grandfather John H. Nichols.

I am not sure I agree that Lula Templin was a grandniece.  I believe she was in fact John Tivis Cox's granddaughter.  Lula was the daughter of John Templin and Emma Ella (Ella) Cox.  Ella was the daughter of my second great grandparents John Tivis Cox and Nancy Ann Pierce.  Lula was born 1 Nov 1895.  Ella Cox was born 17 July 1873 and died 14 Sep 1954.  So it's not as if Ella died young and John Tivis Cox was raising his granddaughter.  Ella was still alive in 1910, and was living in Dallas County, Texas with her second husband Joseph Rimmer and their children.

John Tivis Cox's father who was born in North Carolina was Riley Cox.

Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton were my second great grandparents.

Joseph Harrison was the son of Daniel Harrison and Rhoda Maria Brown.

Susan A. Slaton was the daughter of Thomas Fielden Slaton and Rebecca Frances George.

The only child still living at home was Presley George (Press) Harrison.  Susan's listing of "10 children, 1 living" is manifestly in error.  There was only one child still living at home, but nine of the children were still living.

I'm a little puzzled that Uncle Press's name was listed as George.  He was definitely known as Press, and I have his middle name listed as George.  It would seem unusual for the census to list his middle name when he was known by his first name.  Perhaps his name was really George Presley (Press) Harrison.  Finally, Uncle Press's places of birth should have been listed as TN VA NC.

Ruth Morie age 13 later married Presley George (Press) Harrison.  Uncle Press was living nearby in HN 149 (see above).

Francis Marion (Frank) Slaton was the son of my third great grandparents Thomas Fielden Slaton and Rebecca Frances George.  Mary Ann Moore was the daughter of John Chaney Moore and Amanda Melseany Miller.  Frank Slaton's sister Susan Slaton was my second great grandmother.  The full names of the children listed above were Martha Paralee (Paralee or Parlee) Slaton and Ann Laura (Laura) Slaton.

Mary Anne Moore had twelve children, and nine of them were still living in 1910.  The census enumerator apparently only counted the two who were still living at home, rather than all nine.

Eva Jane and Ollie C. Free were daughters of Haskel Free and Rebecca Slaton.  Rebecca had died in 1902, and Eva and Ollie were being raised by their grandparents.  Haskel Free was still living at this point, but he didn't raise his children.  Rather he went west with two of his brothers-in-law, John Thomas Slaton and William Moses (Will) Slaton.  He lived for a while in California, but later moved to Oregon and spent most of his life there.

Haskell Ray Bolden age 3 2/12 later married Eula Mae Slaton.  Eula was the daughter of Joseph Porter (Port) Slaton and Minnie Ann Cox.  Port and Minnie were known to my father as Uncle Port and Aunt Minnie.

Minnie Ann Cox was the daughter of my great grandparents George Jackson Cox and Clarissa Loretta (Rett) Nichols.  As such, Minnie was the sister of my grandmother Ruby Priscilla Cox.

Port Slaton was the son of Francis Marion (Frank) Slaton and Mary Anne Moore.  As such, he was the nephew of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Daisy Miller age 7 later married John Harvey Cline (Cline) Cox Sr.  Cline Cox was the son of William Nelson Cox and Mary Ella (Ella) Cline.  William Nelson Cox was the brother of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

Lloyd E. Miller age 4 married Mildred Frances Cox on 10 Aug 1924 in Jefferson County.  Mildred was the daughter of John Anderson Franklin Cox and Mary Jane Slaton.

Uncle John Cox was the son of my great grandparents George Jackson Cox and Clarissa Loretta (Retta or Rett) Nichols.  As such, Uncle John was the brother of my grandmother Ruby Priscilla Cox.

Aunt Mary Cox was the daughter of Francis Marion (Frank) Slaton and Mary Anne Moore.  As such, Aunt Mary was the niece of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Daisy and Lloyd Miller were the children of John Miller age 40 and Margaret Moore age 38.

Harriet S. (Hattie) Harrison was the daughter of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, Aunt Hattie was the sister of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison.

John Robert Moore was the son of Samuel Walker (Walker) Moore and Laura Isadora Webster.  To my knowledge, John Robert Moore was never known as Bob.  Rather, he was known as J. R. Moore or as J. Robert Moore.  I don't know why he was listed as Bob in the 1910 census.

Franklin W. (Frank) Nichols was the son of my second great grandparents John H. Nichols and Martha P. Reneau.  As such, Frank was the brother of my great grandmother Clarissa Loretta (Rett) Nichols.

Cora Corbett was the daughter of Porter James (James) Corbett and Mary Isabell Bettis.

Harvey L. Breeden married Lula Templin in 1913.  Lula Templin was the daughter of John Templin and Emma Ella Cox.  Emma was the daughter of my second great grandparents John Tivis Cox and Nancy Ann Pierce.  As such, Emma was the sister of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

I have not been able to determine who Harvey's parents were, except to say that his mother's given name was Martha.

John Franklin Cox and Mary Jane Slaton were married 9 Dec 1906 in Flat Gap, Jefferson County, Tennessee.

Uncle John Cox was the son of my great grandparents George Jackson Cox and Clarissa Loretta (Retta or Rett) Nichols.  As such, he was the brother of my grandmother Ruby Priscilla Cox.

Aunt Mary was the daughter of Francis Marion (Frank) Slaton and Mary Anne Moore.  As such, she was the niece of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Mildred Frances Cox was their first child, and was definitely a daughter and a female, not a son and male as enumerated by the census.

Charles Taft (Taft) White age 6/12 later married Lorene Shrader.  Lorene was the daughter of Henry C. Shrader and Grace A. (Gracie) Cox.  Gracie was the niece of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

Roy Granville Edwards age 6 months later married Vera Marion Rimmer.  Vera was the daughter of Claude Eugene Rimmer and Flora B. Cox.  Flora was the niece of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox and the first cousin of my grandmother Ruby Priscilla Cox.

Roy Granville Edwards was the son of George Fleetis (Fleet) Edwards and Inez Frances Moree.

Maud I. Atchley married Elmer Otto Bryan.  Uncle Elmer was the son of my second great grandparents William Allen (Will) Bryan and Malissa E. Underwood.  As such, he was the brother of my great grandfather William Harley (Harley) Bryan.

Joseph Porter (Port) Slaton was the son of Francis Marion (Frank) Slaton and Mary Anne Moore.  As such, Uncle Port was the nephew of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Minnie Ann Cox was the daughter of my great grandparents George Jackson Cox and Clarissa Loretta (Rett or Retta) Nichols.  As such, Aunt Minnie was the sister of my grandmother Ruby Priscilla Cox.

Annie S. Frye age 23 married Thomas Slaton Harrison in 1913.  Thomas was the son of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, Thomas was the brother of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison.

Annie was the daughter of John W. Fry and Mary J. (Mollie) Duncan.

I am distantly related to Noah Corum Elder because he was descended from Thomas Underwood and Mary Ramey, from John Underwood and Margaret Jackman, and from Capt. Robert Cate Jr. and Elizabeth Wyatt.  However, I was looking at this census entry because of the Atchley connection.  Maud I. Atchley married my great grandfather's brother Elmer Otto Bryan.  Zema Elder married Robert Hardin Atchley who was the sister of Maud I. Atchley.  So Zema was Maud Atchley's sister-in-law.

Noah Corum Elder was the son of William Riley Elder and Mary Kate (Polly or Pop) Douglous.  Apparently, Noah's sister Elizabeth Cordelia (Bettie) Elder never married, but Bettie was the mother of Zema Elder.  Viola Atchley was obviously the niece and Noah Elder was obviously the uncle, a fact that the enumerator got backwards.  Viola Atchley was the daughter of William Pinckney Atchley and Mary Douglas (Douggie) Elder.  Douggie Elder died 12 Mar 1902, so it is likely she died giving birth to Viola Atchley.

Horace M. Jones later married Eva Jane Free.  Eva was the daughter of Joseph Haskel (Haskel) Free and Rebecca Slaton.  Rebecca was the daughter of Frances Marion (Frank) Slaton and Mary Anne Moore.  As such, Rebecca was the niece of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.

Earnest Bryan (Bryan) Morie age 13 later married Artie May Solomon.  Artie was the daughter of John Wesley Solomon and Rhoda Rebecca (Becky) Harrison.

Becky Harrison was the daughter of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, Becky Harrison was the sister of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison.  So Artie was Nannie Harrison's niece.

Bryan Morie was the son of Isaac Andrew (Andy) Morie and Dorthula V. (Thuly) Linzy.

William P. (Will) Slaton was the son of my third great grandparents Thomas Fielden Slaton and Rebecca Frances George.  As such, he was the brother of my second great grandmother Susan A. Slaton.  Will Slaton's wife was Rachel Swann.  The daughters were Rebecca Frances (Cricket) Slaton who later married William A. Allen, and Martha Elizabeth (Bessie) Slaton who never married.

Maggie Shurbutt from HN 155 and William Slaton Shurbutt from HN 156 were sister and brother, being the children of Aaron M. Shurbutt and Mary Elizabeth Bell.  As such, they were the half sister and half brother of Mahala Slaton and Leah Slaton who were daughters of Joseph Flippin Slaton and Mary Elizabeth Bell.  Joseph Flippin Slaton was the son of my fourth great grandparents William Slaydon and Susannah Flippin.  As such, Joseph was the brother of my third great grandfather Thomas Fielden Slaton.

William Slaton Shurbutt's first wife was Amanda Manning (with Manning probably being the surname of Amanda's first husband).  Amanda apparently died before 1908, because William Slaton Shurbutt married Nancy about 1908.

James Allen (Allen) Underwood age 3 later married Lela Mae Williamson.  Aunt Lela was the sister of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson.

Uncle Allen's parents were James Harvey Underwood and Sarah Catherine (Catherine) Hickman.

The Underwood family in East Tennessee was founded by four Underwood brothers, three of whom settled in Sevier County and one of whom settled in Anderson County.  I am descended from John and Thomas of Sevier County.  Uncle Allen was descended from George of Sevier County.  But because Uncle Allen married into the family, I have Underwood second cousins who are second cousins as Williamsons, but who are really only sixth cousins once removed as Underwoods.

Preston C. Patterson age 3 later married Laura Susan Harrison who was the first cousin of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan.  Which is to say, Laura Susan Harrison was the daughter of John David Harrison and Lillie May Moore.

John David Harrison was the son of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, he was the brother of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison who married William Harley (Harley) Bryan.

Robert Harrison Ellis age 7 later married Mary Eunice (Eunice) Allen.  Eunice was the daughter of William A. Allen and Lydia Catherine Harrison.  As such, Eunice was the niece of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison, and the first cousin of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan.

Robert was the son of James C. Ellis and Nellie E. Burchfiel.  Robert was therefore a distant relative because Nellie E. Burchfiel was the great granddaugter of my fourth great grandparents Robert (Bobby) Burchfiel and Anna Evalista Malcom.

Maude Acton married Edwin Lee (Lee) Rimmer about 1921.  Lee Rimmer was the son of Joseph E. (Joe) Rimmer and Emma Ella (Ella) Cox.  As such, Lee was the nephew of my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

Maude was the daughter of Martin W. Acton and Hettie E.

Joseph Benjamin (Joe) Ellis age 9 married Daisy Mae Nichols in 1921.  Daisy was the daughter of Robert Russell Wyatt Nichols and Sarah Louisa Ida (Ida) McAndrew.  Daisy was the niece of my great grandmother Clarissa Loretta (Rett) Nichols who married my great grandfather George Jackson Cox.

Joseph Benjamin (Joe) Ellis was the son of Daniel Devers (Dan) Ellis and Della Layman.

Ralph Quarles age 6 later married Lettie Myrtle Solomon.  Lettie Myrtle Solomon was the daughter of John Wesley Solomon and Rhoda Rebecca (Becky) Harrison.  Becky was the daughter of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, Becky was the sister of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison.

Ralph was the son of William Jonathan Quarles and Ida Irene Brown.

Rhoda Rebecca (Becky) Harrison was the daughter of my second great grandparents Joseph Harrison and Susan A. Slaton.  As such, she was the sister of my great grandmother Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison.

Becky's husband was John Wesley Solomon.  He was the son of James W. Solomon and Sarah C.

Becky's child who had died was Lester Floyd Solomon who died in 1907.

Samuel H. Slaton was the son of William J. Slayden and Priscilla Emeline (Emeline) Sellers.  Samuel was the nephew of my third great grandfather Thomas Fielden Slaton.  Samuel's wife was Edna Viola (Viola) Workman.
