FISHER, CLOER, MASHBURN
I am researching my great-grandparents and g-g-grandparents. It appears they originally may have come from Cherokee County, NC in the 1800s when that County covered Polk Co., parts of Bradley, parts of GA, and other parts of NC. They then moved to eastern Tennessee. My g-grandparents lived in Franklin Co. I bleive but my grandparents always lived in Bradley Co., TN. My grandfather is George Thomas Fisher (still living) b. 20 Aug 1911. He married my grandmother, Rosa Lee (Cloer) Fisher, b. 11 Aug 1911, now deceased. My grandfather’s parents were Leander Milton Fisher b. 10 Jan 1883, who married Lillie Ann (or Lillian) Mashburn, b. 20 Feb 1883. Their children were George Thomas Fisher* (Living), Veta Jane, Ida Mae, Martha Jane, Addie, Carl Otis (11 Nov 1916 – Jul 1997), and Quince Milton (Living). If you have any information or are related, please let me know.

Searching for information on Abraham Powell, born @1850 in Gilmer Co., GA, was in Rhea Co., TN by 1880 but family lore has it that son John David worked in a “stove” factory in Cleveland as early as 8 or 9 years of age. This would have put the family in or around Cleveland during 1890’s. Since there is no federal census, I’m hoping someone can check state census for this ancestor. Abraham may be listed A.W. and wife is Harriet Margaret. Also, is there any record of a “stove” factory in existance in this area at turn of century? Would like to come to Bradley Co. and do research, but have no idea where to start. Can anyone help?

FELKER
My paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Johnson’s, mother, Elizabeth Catherine Collins, was married 4/20/1881 to a George A. Felker who is buried (d. 9/20/1894) in Ringgold, Catoosa Cty, GA. They had four or five children: Fannie (Apr 1886, NC), Agusta Catherine (Sept 1889, TN), Lottie S. (Mar. 1891, TN), and Jesse. Before 1899, Elizabeth married James G. Johnson of Apison, James County, and had one daughter, my grandmother. Elizabeth died on 8/15/1901, and is buried as “wife of Georgia Felker” in the Old Stone Church Cemetery, in Ringgold. George owned a store now known as the Dr. Blair place in the heart of Apison between late 1880’s and the early 1890’s. Georgia’s parents were Jesse and Eliza Felker. I believe Jesse’s parents may have been Peter (born SC) and Nancy Felker. The enrollment rolls of Centenary College Conservatory, Cleveland, TN listed Fannie, Gussie and Lottie as students of this female academy during the earlier 1900’s. I am looking for the descendants of my grandmother’s half-sisters.

CLEVELAND
Evening Folks, I am trying to get past my brick wall. Jesse Cleveland. I have him in the 1850 census in Franklin County Ill (born in Tenn) but no further back. His obit says he was born “near Knoxville”. In a 1840 Tennessee census index I found an entry for Cleveland, Jesse BRAD 055 NO TWP which I think means Bradley County page 55. I was wondering if some kindly person out there might have that entry and would send it to me. Thank you very much. Norm Steffen SteffenNW [at] aol [dot] com
