152	From Georgia: Oglethorpe County: MUSTER ROLL OF COMPANY E, 38th REGIMENT Tom Cobb Infantry: Cunningham, George T. -- 1st Corporal September 29, 1861. Discharged December 7, 1862.	CUNNINGHAM, George Thomas (I-2144834779)
153	From GRADUATES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA 1798-1851, Taken from Historical Sketches of North Carolina by Col. John H. Wheeler, published 1851 and re-printed 1925: William W. Kennedy listed as an 1830 graduate. I cannot be certain that this is the same person as William Wesley Kennedy; however, considering his family's wealth and prominence at that time, as well as his age (which would have been about right for a college graduate in that part of the nineteenth century), I think it is a strong possibility that this is William Wesley Kennedy. (http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/orange/school/unc1851.txt) Listed in 1850 Census of Tippah County Mississippi, p. 477b, line 14: Kennedy, W.W., Age 34, Male, Gun Smith, North Carolina (birthplace). Kennedy, Cynthia W., 30, Female, Georgia (birthplace). Kennedy, Oliver S., 9, Male, Alabama (birthplace). Kennedy, Narcissa, 7, Female, Mississippi (birthplace). Kennedy, Adalia P., 5, Female, Mississippi (birthplace). Kennedy, Mary E., 3, Female, Mississippi (birthplace). Kennedy, Lutitia, 1, Female, Mississippi (birthplace). We can, therefore, pinpoint W.W. Kennedy's move from Lauderdale County, Alabama to Tippah County Mississippi as taking place between 1840 and 1843. It is interesting that W.W. Kennedy continued the "family business" of gun- smithing. There is some confusion regarding exact spellings and constructions of the unusual names of his children.

156	Gideon Graham, his wife, Elizabeth Minnix Graham, and their children John, Abner, Tip, Sam, Fannie, and Pink traveled to Texas from Alabama in a covered wagon in the late 1850's. They made their home on Cowhouse Creek in the area now occupied by Ft. Hood. Gideon and sons John and Abner volunteered for service in the Civil War and fought in Texas. Elizabeth and the young children were left at home to care for the land and cattle. While the men were away, the youngest son, Sam, was captured and murdered by Indians. After the father and sons returned from the war, Abner moved to the northeastern part of the county and bought 100 acres of farm land, located one and a half miles west of Osage, from J. Flannery, a surveyor. He built a small house and began farming. He married Nancy Allen, daughter of William and Mellie Allen. They had three sons, Will, Sam and Gid, and a daughter, Melvinia. The land was fertile and the Grahams prospered. They added 200 acres of farm land and 200 acres of wooded land. Will Graham became a farmer and rancher; Sam and Gid were doctors and Melvinia married George Painter. After the death of Nancy, Abner married Flora Bland, daughter of M.L. and Elizabeth Porterfield Bland who had traveled by train from Watertown, Tennessee to Coryell County after the Civil War. To this couple were born two daughters, Jessie and Jennie. Abner died while the girls were very young and Flora used the proceeds from the original 100 acres to take care of her daughters. Jessie became a first grade school teacher and taught in the area for many years. Jennie married Raiford Brown, son of Bob and Mattie Jones Brown who had migrated from Georgia and settled east of Crawford, Texas. Raiford, better known as "Cot," was a carpenter and came to Osage to work on the red brick school building. From the union of Jennie and "Cot" was born Margie Beth. After Jennie's death, "Cot" married Jessie and they lived on the farm and she taught first grade at Osage until the school closed. Margie Beth married Bill Bucy, a self-employed businessman from Brownwood, Texas They had two daughters, Jan and Mary Beth. Jan married Dan Wikinson and has two sons, Paul and Bill. Mary Beth married Kirk Wall and has two daughters, Jenni and Marcia. At the present time, Jessie Graham Brown lives in Brownwood, Texas near Margie Beth, Jan and Mary Beth, and still owns the original 100 acres in Coryell County, Texas.

180	Hiram Kennedy and his family moved to Lauderdale County, Alabama about 1824; at this time, they had four children. He was one of the first to buy land in Lauderdale County; the Government first sold land grants in Lauderdale County on March 5, 1818, and he bought a land grant on June 19 of that year (the earliest grants were signed by the President). Eventually, he owned over two thousand acres in this county near the village of Green Hill, about fifteen miles from Florence on the Military Road -- now Jackson Highway. The Kennedy home was east of the highway before Green Hill, and other land was west of the home on Shoal Creek at a community called Cowpens. The home stood until about 1944, but as none of the family had lived in it since 1875, it had greatly deteriorated. Originally, it was a fine house of considerable size. The woodwork -- mantels, door, and window frames and wainscoating in the principal rooms were all hand carved. There is still evidence of a gun factory northeast of where the home stood. The family cemetery is south (and across a dirt road) from where the home stood; in 1957 a new fence was placed around it. In it, Hiram and his wife Mary were buried; he died August 20, 1862 and she died January 22, 1875. After his death, she continued to live on the Kennedy Plantation, although toward the end of her life she lived with her youngest child, on the Brookes Plantation. Although only six when her grandmother died, Mary's granddaughter recalls seeing her grandmother reading her Bible by candlelight. Hiram and Mary Spinks Kennedy were considered exceedingly fine and gentle people, living the good life and providing well for their large family. When they settled far from other like families, they lacked social contacts, but they maintained their standards of culture and education. There was no ostentation, unless sending to London for the wedding trousseau of a granddaughter they raised was that; and life was so pleasant, a grandson, John Robie Kennedy, when he was married in Tuscaloosa brought his bride to visit his widowed grandmother on their honeymoon. "Matthew, Wilson, and Hiram Kennedy took the census of the county in 1850. They were required to list a real estate evaluation for each property owner. Less than $1,000 was the value of the majority of most peoples' real estate. The enumerators were also required to make a list of all persons who had died in the county ending 1 June 1850. Only the list kept by Hiram Kennedy was available."	KENNEDY, Hiram (I-2144834694)

187	In "Anthony Roots and Branches," it is noted that Michael and Margaret Clarke and all their children except Micajah remained in Barbados. Michael selected family names for three of his sons: Edward for his father, Christopher and Thomas for his brothers. His brother Thomas, well-documented as a son of Edward Clarke, died childless and left his grant to Michael. It is likely than Michal and his family were Quakers, and thus subject to persecution during the Cromwell period, which may be why Michael decided to take his family out of England. They traveled with his son, Micajah, Micajah's wife Sallie Ann Moorman, and her family, the Moormans, to the Barbados. They left in the vessel Glasgow in the spring of 1699.

189	In 1850 in Franklin County Alabama, two Curry families lived across the road from one another—William Curry, born c1790, and Francis Curry, born c1791. Both men were born in North Carolina; both were farmers with large families. I think that they may have been brothers. I believe that our ancestor, Lucinda Francis “Fannie” Curry, is the nine-year old daughter of Francis and Sarah Curry. Although Fannie had three sisters, she had only one brother, Lewis Curry, born c1832 in North Carolina. William and Francis Curry, their wives, and some of their oldest children were born in North Carolina. Using birth information from the 1850 Census, we can surmise that the Curry brothers and their families migrated from North Carolina to Franklin County Alabama between 1833 to 1837. 1850 Census, Franklin County AL, District 5, 28 Nov 1850 #437, #437—Francis Curry, age 59 born c1791 NC, farmer, value of real estate: $0 Sarah Curry, age 27 born c1823 NC Jane Curry, age 22 born c1828 NC Lewis Curry, age 18 born c1832 NC—Titus County TX, 1860?

191	In 1930 Census, living in home of Walter Swier. He had been adopted by this time, as Walter identifies him as his son and his name has been changed to David E. Swier from Edwin Guy Gearhart. In 1930 Census his natural brothers are located in several homes: 1) Jessie M. Gearhart boarder with Annie M. Jenson; 14 years old; parents listed as born in Ohio (mother) and Washington (father); living in West Ahtanum, Yakima County, Washington. He is listed in David's obituary as Jessie Riddle. 2) John Gearhart and Donald Gearhart (listed in David's obituary as Donald Cannon) boarders with Ralph Carmack; John was 18 years old and Donald was 9. They listed themselves and their parents as all born in Washington. Living in Nile, Yakima County, Washington. John was most likely never adopted because he was of age. Jessie and Donald were still underage, but this census must have been taken before permanent homes were found for them.

It is unknown why Mary Anthony was living with Barbara Williams, as both of her parents were alive in 1850 and living in Madison County, where Johnson F. Cunningham and Mary Anthony later married. It is interesting to note that Johnson F. Cunningham and Mary Anthony named their first two children William Matthew after their fathers and Sarah Barbara after Johnson's mother Sarah and, presumably, Barbara Willliams.	ANTHONY, Mary Ann Penelope (I-2144834817)
