June and July, 1998
The 1880 census of Giles Co, E. D. 113, p. 27, line 25. District 15
shows: Susan C. Jones (48, b. TN), Mary V. Jones (daughter)(11, b.
TN); Robert B. Jones
(son)(9, b. TN) and Edward S. Styles (son)(24, b. LA). I think these
are all the children that Susan (SIMPSON)(STYLES) JONES had. I
believe
that both the sons died without issue, but I have been unable to
learn what happened to Mary V.
Jones. Does anyone have any information on her? Did she marry?
Does she have
descendants? When did she die? In CEMETERY RECORDS OF GILES COUNTY,
TENNESSEE, by the Giles County Historical Society, I found tombstone
records
(Lynnwood Cemetery) for Sue C. Jones (1831-1906), Edward S. (Ned)
Stiles (1856-1941) and
Robert B. Jones (1870-1899)(Founder of R. B. Jones High School), but
found no record for Mary
V. Jones, leading me to conclude that she probably did marry. If she
does have descendants, I
would very much like to get in touch with them.
Thanks for any help,

Request any relative or ancestral info on Elizabeth "Lizzie" Young,
b. Abt 1854 in TN. Mother also named Elizabeth(?) Young. Lizzie
married William W. (Bill) Rea. Both are listed in 1880 census of
Giles County, along with sons William Miron Rea (age 2) and Eddie
(age 4 months). The census shows an Elizabeth Young (age 66) b. TN,
also living in household. The family later moved to Van Zandt County,
TX where they farmed for an extended period of time.

Seeking relatives and ancestral info about William W. (Bill) Rea b.
Abt 1851, possibly AL or TN. Married Elizabeth (Lizzie) Young, b. Abt
1854, Giles County, TN. Both are listed in 1880 census of Giles
County , indicating all 4 parents born in TN. Children listed in 1880
census include William Miron Rea (age 2) and Eddie (age 4 months),
both born in Giles County. The family later moved to Van Zandt
County, TX where they farmed for an extended period. I have found the
surname spelled REA and RAY in later documents. The mother of Lizzie
is shown as also shown in 1880 census as living in the household,
also named Elizabeth Young, age 66. This suggests possible death of
her (unnamed) husband.

Howdy folks! Thanks to all who've helped with my WOLAVER, ERWIN, and
CLARK lines in Giles County. Does anyone have any info on early
churches and hotels in Diana? My family has been involved in the
Methodist church there since the late 1800's (1880's we think, but
can't prove it). The church I am primarily interested in is what was
originally known as Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church. It burned at some
point (not sure of the year--can anyone confirm?), and was moved down
into town, and the name changed to Diana United Methodist Church.
Mt. Pleasant Cemetary is still on the hill on Diana Rd, across the
street from the old Wolaver homeplace.
Also--
On Diana Rd, there was an old hotel. It was torn down in the late
40's or early 50's. My mother and her sister grew up in the hotel,
and my grandfather, Steger Wolaver, built the new Wolaver homeplace
on that site. I would be interested in any info on the hotel,
especially the name of it! (No one can seem to remember.)
Thanks!

Help! I am researching the ERWIN, CLARK, and WOLAVER families of
Giles County. I've just started researching, and don't have lots of
time. (I'm working full time, and also homeschooling my daughter,
but I want the research to be completed eventually to pass on to
her.) Any info anyone has on these families would be appreciated.
Also--Will someone PLEASE explain to me the district system used for
census records, tax records, etc. From the info given with the tax
records, I can't figure out which district(s) my family lived in.
The Erwins were originally in the Bradshaw community near Diana; my
ggrandfather owned a store there. The Wolavers lived in Diana off of
Cornersville Highway (I think--not sure about the road), and then in
Pulaski. There are two Wolaver homeplaces I know of, both on that
same road--one was originally an old hotel and was remodeled by my
grandfather, Steger Wolaver.

1892. Sarah died about 1892. There were 10 children of whom Van
Buren Merrill was the youngest. Van left home and went into the Army
for the Spanish American war at age 17. He was born 1875. Have had
some indication that Barney may have been born in Lincoln county. Any

Aloha All,
In the 1830 Giles Co. Census, there is mention of a Caswell HILTON.
I suspect that this should have been HELTON. Am interested in any
info on him -- origin --parents -- siblings -- spouse -- children --
occupation. Am also interested in John Pleasant Christopher Columbus
HELTON. He may have been a son or adopted son of Caswell. I am told
he was from the Carolinas -- was a Cherokee -- married Betty GOATS.

Dear Researchers,
I would like to correspond with the descendents of Margaret
Josephine Henson and Robert Clark. These two were married I believe
in Giles Co. in the 1860's. Margaret was the dau. of Nancy Henson
who had land on the Maury-Giles line and who died in 1867. Nancy's
husband may have been John Henson. Nancy's mother was Peggy Stuart
who lived in Lincoln Co in 1830, and in Maury or Giles in the 1850
census. Nancy had siblings Hettie Gist, William Calvin Stewart,
Calvin B. Stewart, and Mary Henson. Nancy's land was sold to N.H.
Matthews to settle her debts. I would welcome all inquiries on this
information.

Richard Bailey was my great-great grandfather. He was born in North
Carolina in 1790 and he was Cherokee. I don't know the degree. His
daughter, my great-grandmother, was Mary Margaret Wallace Bailey
Garrigus, b. 1832 in Giles, Co., Tn., her tenth son, my grandfather,
was born in 1874 in Pope Co.,Ark. His name was Sereno Hubastus "Jake"
Garrigus. He died in 1973 and he told me of this connection. Because
of his advanced age I believe he knew the history of his grandfather
correctly. I would like to know the father of Richard Bailey and any
information that is available on the Bailey family.
