STATUM/TIPPS/GILLASPIE/EASLEY/RODDY
My great-grandfather’s name was James Thomas STATUM. He was born Nov. 19, 1876 in Tennessee. I found him on the 1880 Franklin Co., TN Census in the house hold of William GILLASPIE and Martha (Mary) M. GILLASPIE. James Thomas STATUM is 4 yrs old and is listed as a Step (Grand) Son of William GILLASPIE. This Martha (Mary) M. GILLASPIE on the 1880 census is Mary M. TIPPS who married William STATUM Mar 30, 1854. He was killed in the Civil War so Mary M. TIPPS STATUM married her neighbor William H. GILLASPIE on Jan 28, 1865 probably because she had four children to feed. Unless the Census is wrong, one of William and Mary M. TIPPS STATUM’s children has to be James Thomas STATUM’s

STATUM/TIPPS/CUMMINGS
In the late 70’s my grandfather and great-aunt went to Winchester to visit some cousins. Jimmie Rhea STATUM and John Walter “Jack” STATUM. I also heard of an Uncle John STATUM which would have to have been John A. STATUM since he is Jack and Jimmie’s father. Jack showed my grandfather some land where the old home place was. He sold it and a store was on the property. My problem is that I tried to trace Jimmie and Jack STATUM’s line back, but as of now I can’t connect them to William and Mary M. TIPPS STATUM. Their father John A. STATUM is the son of Dean and Elizabeth CUMMINGS STATUM. On the 1900 Franklin Co., TN Census it says that Dean STATUM was born in 1854. Does anyone know about this line or how to contact their descendants. Jason
