Additional information<\/span><\/h1>\n

George Edgar Grisham died during the cholera epidemic that hit Jonesborough in the year of 1873.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe devoted himself, since the plague came upon Jonesboro, to the watchful care of the sick. He visited alike the homes of the poor and opulent, and wherever deeds of mercy were demanded by human anguish, Grisham went. By day and night he was at the bedside of the sick, discharging from every menial task. When he himself was sick, he forgot his own danger and sufferings, and died at last from sheer devotion to the well-being of his fellow man.\u201d [Jonesboro Herald-Tribune)<\/span><\/p>\n

Capt. George Edgar Grisham commanded Company I, 8th<\/sup> Tennessee Cavalrey. Grisham was a devout Union man and edited a newspaper in Jonesborough before and after the war.

From History of Hales Chapel Christian Church<\/i>, p. 32:<\/span><\/p>\n

James Madison (1844-1905), the great great grandson of Thomas, was the oldest son of John Fuller Gresham and Matilda Louisa (Carroll\/Ellis). He married Mary Elizabeth Barnes and they had a family of ten children, most of whom were members at Hales Chapel. Their home place burned in 1985 but was on the land now known as Buffalo Ridge Estates. This was home for Ida and Belle Gresham until they were up in years and moved to Jonesborough. Here their sister, Hassie, joined them when she retired from teaching school in Knoxville, and their brother, James Madison, Jr., when he retired as a lawyer in Oklahoma. Several of the other children married and settled in this community and their descendants are still at Hales Chapel. Charles S. [Sumner] married Minnie [Eckel] Hale, [daughter of William Chamberlain Hale and Sarah Frances Leab.] Horace M. married Bessie Keyes and his home was near the Gresham Cemetery until he moved to Jonesborough. Cordelia married James A. Keebler and their home was near the intersection of the Buffalo Ridge and Jonesborough road known as Keebler’s Crossroads. William Winter’s home was in Oklahoma, but he is buried in the Gresham Cemetery along with most of the rest of this family. George Newman was also a lawyer and John Fuller, Jr.’s home was in Knoxville where he was in the dry-goods business.<\/span><\/p>\n

James Madison’s sisters, Amanda E. married Julius A. Stafford and Mary E. married Jacob Bacon and they are all listed as early members of Hales Chapel. He also had two brothers, George E. who died young and John A. who married Sarah E. Neil in Knoxville.<\/span><\/p>\n
