FLANERY, MCNEELY
I am trying to find death date and place for my husband’s gr grandmother Eliza or Elizabeth FLANERY SNAPP MCNEELY. She was married to Logan Snapp, and later divorced. She married Frank Lee MCNEELY (I am guessing about 1908/09) and had a son Robert McNeely that was born in Rogersville, Tennessee 1/26 1910. In 1947, Eliza lived in Redlands, California, but I have been unable to locate a death date for her there. I am thinking that she went “home” to Hawkins Co, TN in her old age, and maybe died there. If anyone has info on her marriage to Frank McNeely or her DEATH date/place, I would appreciate hearing from you.

MILLER, Anyone out there a descendant of Sanders MILLER or Robert MILLER, both born before 1795 and residents of Hawkins County 1830-40-50? I think my g-g grandfather, John W. MILLER (b. 1829) was the son of one of them. JW MILLER operated a mill on the Holston River in present-day Hamblen County in the early 1860’s.

KEY, JORDON, 1836: I have information that FRANCIS MARION KEY was born in Hawkins County, TN. His father was GEORGE KEY, mother was MARGARET JORDON. The JORDON might not be her maiden name as I have heard she was married once before and had a couple of children when she married George. We know the family moved to Greene County, TN and then moved to Grayson County, TX before the 1850 census. George died in 1850.

WALLACE, In the 1840 Census, the Jonathan WALLACE Family was shown in Buncombe County N.C.as follows: Male- 1 40-49 years 2 15-19 years 2 10-14 years Female- 1 20-29 years 2 0-4 years. We know that he was born in N.C. He and his family moved to Hawkins County, Tennessee sometime between 1840-1843. The following data shows in the 1850 census for Hawkins County District 14: Family # Name Age Sex Occ. Birthpl. –156 Wallace, Jonathan 63 M Farmer NC Martha 32 F NC Selina 11 F NC Dinah 9 F NC Jonathan 7 M TN William 5 M TN Catherine 3 F TN
157 Wallace, Riley 23 M Laborer NC Jane 21 F TN Jackson 1 M TN
158 Wallace, Thomas 21 M Laborer NC Sparks, John 18 M Laborer NC Anna 20 F TN. We assume the Jonathan Sr. Married a second time. Martha was 22 when Jonathan Sr. was 53 in the 1840 timeframe. We also assume that Riley and Thomas were sons of Jonathan Sr. in his first marriage since they lived close by in the 1850 census. They also match the ages in the 1840 NC census. We know that Martha (Jonathan died?) brought her family across the Cumberland Gap in the 1850’s and settled in Kentucky. I have visited her gravesite. Unfortunately, we do not know her maiden name. We also know that Jonathan Jr. was in the Civil War. He was in the 1st Battery of the Kentucky Light Art. and wounded at the Battle of Stone’s River, TN around 1/1/63. He was also charged with mutiny and sentenced to 3 months hard labor. I have visited the National Archives and viewed numerous documents relating to him. The only thing I can find before 1840 was a John Wallace b) 12/14/1786 to a William Wallace and Phereby Brinson in Onslow Co., NC. The dates match up but there’s no way to know if it’s him. I would appreciate any help in finding out about Jonathan and his family after moving to Hawkins County. Perhaps Someone knows of the Riley Wallace family, since we assume he would be the firstborn son of Jonathan. They may have more info. Thank You! Leonard Wallace 65-A Ridge Road Greenbelt, MD 20770
