Subject: Edward Kersey and Anna King

Hi folks--

Found more information on Edward Kersey and Anna King:

Marion Co. In.

Will of Jesse King 1846

Will Bk. B p. 141 and 142

wife Lousinda King (also spelled Lucinda in this document) farm for her

lifetime and then sold and equally divided.

Son James King, son Jesse King, daughter Almira King, daughter Melinda BURNETT

, son Colonel King, son Jeptha King.

Mentions 2 lots (lots 7 & 8) in Village of Pleasant View Shelby Co. In. to be

sold and equally divided.

Written Jan. 29, 1846

Signed Jesse King (his mark)

Attested by Joseph PIERSON , Alexander JOYCE and Thomas PARISH

Probate papers for this estate:

Those receiving part of estate:

In.and she was born 1822)

William Burnett and Melinda

James Graham and Sarah

James Tolin and Celia

Lucy R. King

John Childs and Almira

Land in estate is SE 1/4 SW 1/4 Section 22 Twp. 14 North of Range 5 East 40

acres-Marion Co. In. (This is very SE corner of Franklin Twp. which is in SE Marion Co)

also NE 1/4 NW 1/4 Section 27 Twp. 14 North of Range 5 E , 40 acres Johnson

Co., 2 lots in Pleasant View Shelby Co. In. Lot 7 and 8

Estate says Lucinda (widow) died on or about August 1846

Notes from Judy Wright

(This land would probably be the part of Johnson Co. In. that adjoins Marion Co. and Shelby Co. ) (Judy Wright-My ancestor Jesse King Parish owned land one farm away from the corner of Shelby Co. In. Moral Twp. where Shelby meets Marion Co. and Hancock Co.-perhaps they are somehow related.)

Jesse King bought Johnson Co. In. land NE SW Section 27 Twp. 14 N range 5, 40 acres on Jan. 9, 1835. William Means bought SE NW Section 27 Twp. 14 N range 5 , 40 acres Johnson Co. In. Sept. 23, 1835 Alexander Joyce bought E NE Section 27 T 14 N range 5 , 80 acres Oct. 4, 1832 Wm. Means and Alexander Joyce are from Stokes Co. N.C.

Complete record "6" p. 154 and 475

final Report to be discharged

filed bk. 5 p. 457

The birth date of 1822 for Anna doesn't sound right. Previously from the Indiana state library I had turned up a marriage record for them from 1834.

8. DAVID DANIEL, son of Humphrey and Nancy (Pratt) Richardson, was born March 27, 1826. He went to Illinois with his parents in 1845 and for some time was employed as a driver of one of the big four-horse coaches that ran between Chicago and other large towns. He married first, Jane Shaw, at Marengo, Ill., July 3, 1848. Soon after this he went over the plains to California, but soon returned for his family and permanently settled there. He probably lived first in Sacramento, and is said to have been a superintendent of one of the overland stage lines. After this he became a farmer and resided near Chico, where his wife died Feb. 19, 1886. He married second, Mrs. Harriet Emeline Kersey. He died Sept. 9. 1904. The following quotation is taken from his obituary notice in the Record: "Death has claimed another pioneer of Butte County in the person of D. D. Richardson, who died yesterday at his home a few miles north of Chico. As noted in yesterday's Record, Mr. Richardson was stricken with paralysis and from the first but little hone was entertained of his recovery. * * *

Deceased was one of the oldest residents of the vicinity of Chico, where he had engaged in farming for many years and where he had reared his family. * * * He was a good citizen and respected man, and his passing marked the end of a long and useful life."

They had six children:

MADISON TOWNSHIP

Madison Township lies north of Jackson, west of Marion, south of Johnson and east of the Cedar County line. It is eleven miles long and six miles wide, containing an area of 66 square miles. Population in 1870- 1,361; estimated at present to be 1,550. It is the second township in taxable wealth, fourth in extent and fifth in population. It is well timbered and has but little

prairie. Soil is generally good and produces well. Little Sac, Brush and Bear

Creeks are the principle streams. Considerable interest is manifested in

public schools and the spirit of popular education is steadily increasing;

contains ten school houses, several churches, one steam and two water mills, and one post office. The old town of New Market laid out by Wm. Campbell once had an active trade, but the building of the town of Orleans near by so deprived it of its trade that it soon went down and is not now known on the map of the county. The first settlers were S. H. Bunch, Ransom Cates, Abnor Renfrow, Peter Ruyle, Wm. Campbell, John Hunt, James Stockton, Robert Evans, Henry and James Akard, Jacob Seigler, Joseph Ferguson, Silas Fox, John Crain, James Watson, Ahab Bowen, James Hopkins, Benj. Craighead, Francis, William and Matthew Dunnegan, William Webb, Drury Kersey, Alfred Frieze, and David Rountree. In 1857 there was, but one school house which was used for both church and school purposes.

I think the William Jasper Kersey you are talking about is also my William Jasper. His father was Steven A. Kersey born in SC, but lived in GA, AL, and South Florida.I think we connect! Steven was my Gggrandfather. Who was married to Mary Peace.

William Jasper's first wife was, Mary Melinda Folmer, ( Alabama ) second wife

was Elizabeth King, Didn't know about the third wife, but it's quite possible

Had lots of kids by both women. I have a picture of him with Elizabeth.

William Jasper died June 11, 1913. He is buried in Red Oak Cemetery , in Red

If this is a connection let me know.

Subject: Kersey - Highwaymen

I had an interesting meeting the other day at our Stroud Family History

Society. A new member, Pat PINNELL, was showing us her family history and I

suddenly saw a poster I recognised!!! It gave the account of the hanging of

two highwaymen.

In 1828 her ancestor, Matthew PINNELL with his brother Henry, were Highwayman who held up and robbed by great great grandfathers cousin, James KEARSEY, just a few miles from where I live here in Gloucestershire. James was a farmer, just returning from market. The Highwaymen were tracked down by local police after a 50 mile chase and tried and then hung at Gloucester. The Gloucester Newspaper gave a full account of the trial. Apparently Highwaymen did say "Stand and Deliver!".

After the brothers were hung, their families had a very hard time, but

survived.

Pat it suggesting that we and a descendant of James, meet for a meal at the Public House, called "Trouble House" where the robbery was planned, and then she will show us exactly where the event took place.

Can you beat that for a KE(A)RSEY family history story! The full account follows.

Hugh Kearsey

This morning, Saturday- Matthew PINNELL aged 36, and Henry PINNELL 28 (brothers) suffered the extreme penalty of the law at Gloucester. They were indicted for feloniously assaulting Mr. J. KEARSEY, on the King's Highway, in the parish of Rodmarton, on the 17th Dec. last, and stealing from his person his watch and pocket-book containing £60 in notes, a quantity of silver, and a key. Mr. Phillpot stated the case which was clearly proved by the following evidence.

J. KEARSEY, a farmer residing at Rodmarton said,"I left Tetbury market about 8

o'clock in the evening of the 17th. I was sober. After turning towards

Rodmarton about a quarter of a mile from the turnpike road, two men moved

towards me; the tall man crossed my horse's head and took the bridle with his

right hand. The short man struck me on the head with a stick. After I had

received many other blows on my head, arms and hands, I fell off my horse; the

stick h

ved many

blows, said 'Stand and deliver'. While on the ground the short man beat me on

the head with the same stick. I got to my legs and begged him not to murder me

as I had a wife and a large family. The tall man said 'I wont murder you if

you give us what you have quietly- if not, here is this for you', showing me

the muzzle of a small gun or large pistol. I unbuttoned my topcoat, and the

short man took my watch from my fob, my pocket-book from my side pocket

containing four £5 notes of the Tetbury Bank, forty notes of £1 and some

memorandums. The tall man took some silver and a key. They then ran away. It

was a very moon-light night. I had the opportunity of seeing the persons. The

prisoners at the bar are the men. I had seen them before". Charles Warner-

surgeon of Cirencester.

"I was sent for on the 17th Dec. last to attend Mr. Kearsey.

He had three of four severe wounds on his head, apparently inflicted by a

stick or blunt instrument".

Henry Tilling

"I live at Jackaments Inn about 5 miles from Tetbury. There is a

public house called 'Trouble House' about 3 miles nearer Tetbury. The road for

Rodmarton branches off between them. I saw the prisoners on the 17th Dec. at

Jackaments in the morning. They went towards Trouble House".

Robert Bruton

"I am a constable of Salisbury. I searched Henry Pinnell and

found the silver, gold, and notes which I now produce, £7.16s.6d, £4 in gold,

£12 in notes, and a pocket book."

Mr. Kearsey identified the watch. His Lordship then proceeded to

sum up and the jury instantly returned a verdict of guilty. The usual

proclaimation was then made and the learned judge having put on the fatal

emblem of their doom addressed the prisoners in the very impressive language,

and exhorting them not to entertain any hope of mercy on this side of the

grave, passed sentence of death on them.

This morning the two unfortunate men attended divine service in the chapel of the goal, they listened attentively to the pious exhortations of the R s to be the perpetrators of the crime for which they were about to suffer. They were afterwards pinioned and led to the place of death, where after the necessary preparations being completed, the drop fell, and the scene of this life closed on them.

Subject: Re: David B. Kersey

Hi Marv:

Thus far, I have only located three marriage licenses with referances to the Kersey name. I do have a copy of the marriage record between David B. Kersey and Sarah F. J. Whitenton. Also among the Whitenton marriage documents if found a Wm. E. Kersey, an ordianed Minister who performed the marriages between William Noll & Lucy A. Whitenton in Goliad Co., Texas May 2, 1871; and between Mr. E. A. Evers and Miss Martha E. Whitenton on December 26, 1870. The last one was witnessed by David Whitenton and W. I. Adcock.

Martha E. Whitenton, Sarah F. J. Whitenton and David Whitenton are children of Gibson Whitenton. The Adock also married into this part of the Whitenton family. Lucy A. Whitenton is apparently the daughter of Gibson Whitenton (my ggg grandfather).

I know I have a little more information on this line of the Whitenton family and perhaps David B. Kersey, also. I will continue to go through my records and find what I can.

I have these extra copies of the marriage records and would be most happy to snail mail them to you, if you wish to share your address.

In my line there is an Oscar Lee Kersey, Can't seem to put my hands on the

sheet right now, but will find it.

Also there is an ELWilder. And again the Indian blood comes up! I have heard

this all of my life, but no one can prove it. You were talking about some one

else being indian, or was it Kersey?

University of Arkansas, Fayetteville: HUGHES-McDONALD

THE HUGHES-McDONALD FAMILY

Moses Hughes, (ca 1797-1865) was a farmer, Methodist lay preacher, and sometime Justice of the Peace from Camp Creek, Ten nessee. He married Lucinda Chapman, (1805-?), and the couple moved to Greenville, Wayne County, Missouri, sometime in the early 1820s. Among the children born to Moses and Lucinda were Polly Ann, James, William, George, Rebecca,

and Martha, all of whom moved with their parents to Franklin County, Arkansas, around 1845. Polly Ann married Allen McDonald, a Sebastian County farmer, and settled near the town of Charleston, Arkansas.

They had at least one child at their home in addition to Allen's son from a previous marriage, Jerry H., and his stepson, Samuel C. Howell. James Hughes maintained his own house and land near his father's at Ozark, Arkansas, until he died in April, 1848, during a trip back to Greenville, Missouri. William R. Hughes also established his own home and became a preacher for the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1856. George Hughes served in the Union Army during the Civil War as a private in the Second Arkansas Volunteer Cavalry. Rebecca Hughes married a man named Kersey and settled near the town of Greenwood, Arkansas.

Marv, I noticed all the great information you sent this morning.

The Hughes family was especially of interest. The Rebecca Hughes

you mentioned was m. to William M. Kersey b. 1832 in Jackson Co AL,

d. 1865. William was the son of my GG Grandparents George Madison

Kersey and Elizabeth Gilliam.

William's brother Arthur L. Kersey was my G Grandfather. Maybe

somehow I can get some clues from the info on the Hughes family to

help find the parents of my Geo. M. Kersey.

Surely appreciate all the information you put in your letters

to us.

Thanks! Pat Henry

info on descendants, but have her parents as Thomas (1802-1876) and Elizabeth

(1808-1900) HINTON KERSEY. Also have her sibs with some spouses. Thomas was

brother to my direct ancestor Catherine A KERSEY (1808-1897), who married John

Do you have information on Hiram "Pomp" Kersey of Cannon County, TN? I

am in no way related to him, but he was killed after being at my

gggrandfathers house in Gassaway, Cannon, TN. I have quite a bit of info

on him, and I took pictures of his gravesite when I was up there 2

years ago, if anyone is interested.

Hi -

I don't know for sure if I'm related to Kerseys or not; one of my ancestors had the middle name of Kersey, which I think is very intriguing. I see there is a town called Kersey in England.

Thanks very much for the invitation.

Thank you for the nice welcome to your service. I just took a preliminary

look at your site -- exciting! I will participate as soon as I can. I

haven't had any trouble so far with mime; but there are times when AOL is

sluggish, like tonite.

My ancestor who had the middle name Kersey was of a Quaker family, surname Hoar, and he married into the famous Irwin family (or prolific, anyway). I suppose I can try to condense some of these details in my introductory e-mail on your list.

Thank you for your service. Good luck to you!

The second wife of my 4ggrandfather, Daniel Kersey (1757-1835), was Ann Irwin, daughter of Robert and Mary. Daniel and Ann were married in 1800 in North Carolina. Daniel died in Indiana. Maybe a connection?
