This webpage aims to preserve the genealogy and correspondence (from 1829) of the following families, and of many more:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Immigrants circa 1730 Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800, & wife "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery McCorkle, d. 1789. Although parentage is as yet unproven, Alexander was probably the son of Scots-Northern Irish immigrant James McCorkle who with his wife Jane (??maiden name??) McCorkle ventured into the American colonies with son Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800. We know that either Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800, or Alexander's father (James? McCorkle) had a sister who became Mrs. ?first name unknown??? McCorkle Sloan (This sister was the mother of Elizabeth Sloan Morrison alias Mrs. Andrew Morrison, the Andrew Morrison who died after 1815 in Middle Tennessee). Source: an old letter from Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roach (a daughter of Margaret Morrison McCorkle, 1770-1848, Margaret being daughter-in-law of Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800). The other candidates besides James for being father of the 1722-1800 Alexander McCorkle are Samuel McCorkle and William McCorkle. Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800, did name a son each Samuel and William, perhaps not after his father but after his uncles; I do not know. Assuming arguendo that James McCorkle begot Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800), and I'm far from certain, then Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800) was not as some have written a brother to Revolutionary War major in the North Carolina line Francis McCorkle; he was, rather, a 1st cousin to Francis. Francis McCorkle married a Brandon woman and Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800) had a second wife named Rebecca (McNee?) Brandon. Francis & Alexander (1722-1800) would have been what southerners call "own" cousins. (Parenthetically, record of a James McCorkle exists--is he in fact "ours?"--in the area of Mecklenburg County, NC, around today's Charlotte, also the locale in the mid-1750s of my Huie ancestors.)
Discussed on this web site, also, are the ff. people, and more:
'Nancy" Agnes McCorkle's MONTGOMERY ascendants: John Montgomery & Martha FINLEY (Montgomery).
William Morrison (1704-1771) & wife Margaret (maiden name unknown) Morrison, who were the paternal grandparents of (1) Margaret Morrison McCorkle alias Mrs. Robert McCorkle, 1770-1848, buried in the McCorkle Cemetery some 5 miles east of Newbern, in Dyer County, Tennessee. William & Margaret Morrison's other grandchildren included, through their son ANDREW MORRISON & his wife ELIZABETH SLOAN (Morrison), not in proper birth order:
(1)William Hays Morrison, 1767-1837 (buried McCorkle Cemetery, Dyer Co., Tennessee, next to his sister Margaret McCorkle). This William Hays Morrison m. Mary Haynes (who predeceased him and is buried easterly in Bedford Co., Tenn., part of which was carved out as Coffee County); and grandson (2)Andrew Sloan Morrison who m. Mary Haynes' sister Sarah Haynes. A preacher, Andrew Sloan Morrison wandered into Tennessee on his journeys and appears as owning property in several places, including the Chilhowee Mountains. His sister Margaret in 1838 thought he was probably in Virginia "attending to an old lawsuit there," and Andrew Sloan(e) Morrison may have ended life in Indiana, but as to his meanderings I must defer to his descendant, today's Jean Morrison of Cincinnati; and grandson(3)George Morrison, 1771-1854 who remained behind in Iredell Co., NC, and fathered, inter alia, George Milton Morrison, who had several children; and granddaughter (4) Elizabeth Morrison Lowrie of Iredell Co., NC; and granddaughter (5) Rachel Morrison Brown alias Mrs. Robert Brown(e) who d. 1 July 1835 (probably, according to an old letter from Rachel's sister Margaret Morrison McCorkle to daughter Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache) and whose --Rachel Morrison Brown's--only daughter (I think) Matilda McKee Browne m. her 1st cousin (Matilda m. a descendant of her uncle William Hays Morrison, 1767-1837: either Joseph Pinckney Morrison or a son of J P M); and granddaughter (6) Mary Morrison (Mrs. John Morrison) who m. a son of her uncle Patrick Morrison; and (7) granddaughter Rebecca Morrison who never married and died between 1851 (mentioned in 1851 letter as being alive) and 1860 (by 1860 she was no longer present in Coffee County, Tennessee, census although her sister Mary was), dying near Hillsboro in Coffee County, Tennessee. It is a good thing for us today that George Morrison, 1771-1854, did remain behind in Rowan/Iredell County, North Carolina, because a Dr. Langenaur ?? or Langenhauer? ? (I think that's who did it) dutifully recorded what he could of the relatives of George Morrison and placed this information for the public to use, in the Statesville public library, genealogy room.

James Huie (flourished 1800) & son Benjamin Huie, born c.1798 NC - d. 1879 Newbern, Tennessee, each known to have been in Cabarrus then Rowan-Iredell Counties, NC; and
Revolutionary War veteran Jacob Thomas & wife Margaret Brevard (Thomas) of Rowan/Iredell County, NC, whose son William Thomas married Elizabeth Purviance. Elizabeth Purviance was a daughter of "colonel" John Purviance of the North Carolina line in the Revolutionary War & John Purviance's wife, Mary JANE WASSON (Purviance). John Purviance Snr was, I think, a lieutenant in the NC line, although his brother Captain James Purviance ranked higher. ] [John Purviance and Mary Jane Wasson Purviance had a son also named John Purviance. In 1792 this son John Purviance was scalped by hostile Indians in Sumner County, Tennessee, leaving a widow who had watched the murder. John Purviance Jnr's widow was "Mattie" Martha King Purviance. Mattie King (Mrs. John Jnr. Purviance)(Mrs. William McCorkle) died all too soon after re-marrying and becoming Mrs. William McCorkle, therefore daughter-in-law to immigrant Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800. SAMUEL KING had signed, as witness back in Rowan-Iredell County, NC, the will of Mattie King (McCorkle's) new father-in-law Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800. A King Family Genealogy is on the Internet from the Cumberland Presbyterian organization which includes these King folk.
I think two of the THOMAS daughters of Jacob Thomas & Margaret Brevard Thomas married men named SHERRILL, but am certain about only one: Elizabeth Thomas Sherrill. (Click here.) Aunt Ora McCorkle Huie and Aunt Katie Pearl McCorkle Fox's records (McCorkle sisters they were) list an Ann Thomas (Sherrill) but fail positively to identify Ann as a child of Jacob & Margaret Brevard Thomas. Our old genealogical records kept in Dyer Co., West Tennessee, contain Sherrill records, but in the midst of them my Aunt Katie Pearl McCorkle (Fox) has interlineated: "I don't understand all of this."
Many allied lines are considered in this web site, e.g., the Scott family of James Scott, 1777-1853, and Sarah Dickey (Scott), 1777-1838, a daughter of John Dickey & Sarah Robinson Dickey, living at one time in York District, South Carolina. --Their descendant Glenn Smith Scott of Yorkville, Tennessee (Gibson Co.) died in the spring of 2009, leaving children and his brother Wm. Aaron Scott.
Another example of allied lines is the Archibald Wasson -Elizabeth Woods Wasson family.
John Purviance m. Mary Jane Wasson. One of their children was Elizabeth Purviance alias Mrs. William Thomas, and another child was "elder" David Purviance who aided in starting the Disciples of Christ/ Church of Christ at Cane Ridge, Ky. Elizabeth Purviance m. William Thomas and produced, inter alia: (1) Sarah Purviance Thomas who m. Eleazor Woods and (2) Jane Maxwell Thomas who m. Edwin Alexander McCorkle. William Thomas died in 1833 very soon after removing westerly to Dyer County, and his widow applied for a Revolutionary War widow's pension from Dyer County, with the help of her son-in-law Edwin Alexander McCorkle, 1799-1853.

The above-mentioned families mostly came from Pennsylvania down the Great Wagon Road of the 18th century to Rowan County, North Carolina; then westerly to Tennessee. Tennessee attained statehood in 1796 (take that, you Johnny-come-lately Texans who appropriated not only "UT" but also our mascot orange color); the western-most lands of Tenn. were not opened for white settlement until decades later.

Alexander McCorkle Genealogy (1722-1800) Introduction to the people who engaged in the McCorkle Correspondence included here that begins with Mrs. Robert McCorkle, 1770-1846, born Margaret Morrison of Rowan County, NC. Margaret Morrison's paternal grandfather, William Morrison, 1704-1771, referred to himself as the first white "inhabitor" of the Third Creek area, now Loray community near Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina. The grandfather Wm. Morrison, 1704-1771, attended parleys with the Indians and was active (with his son and/or brother Andrew Morrison) at Fort Dobbs during the era of the French & Indian Wars. Fort Dobbs lies just outside Statesville, Iredell County, North Carolina.
Click for: The Nomadic Nature of our McCorkle Ancestors, and allied families. Was James McCorkle the father of our immigrant Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800)? Why did so many Scots leave Scotland for Northern Ireland circa 1700?
Here, someday, will be a link to records from the Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church, an early church in Kentucky, in southeastern Fayette County not far from Lexington. Elmira Sloan McCorkle (Mrs. Dr. Stephen Roach) wrote that her father Robert McCorkle was in the second company of white men to foray into Kentucky. And we know that, before 1800, brothers Robert McCorkle, John McCorkle, and Joseph McCorkle were all three at Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church. For now, here is the website of Walnut Hill church--but it's not a hyperlink: http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/lexington/wal.htm
Click for: All I know about Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800, and wife "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery McCorkle and their Descendants This may be repetitious. Pictured below is one of their grandchildren, through their son Robert McCorkle by Robert's 2nd marriage, to Margaret Morrison (McCorkle), viz., Margaret Permelia McCorkle (Scott):
The
lives of the descendants of Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roach
(who removed up north to Indiana with her husband), on the one hand;
and, on the other hand, the bucolic siblings, sister
Margaret Permelia McCorkle Scott (who died in
late 1853, the same year as her brother Edwin), & brothers
Edwin Alexander McCorkle (my father's great-grandfather
who died in early 1853) &
Jehiel Morrison McCorkle (who died in 1849), took
dramatically different turns, as best I know. The
cosmopolites became wealthy, and the farmers scraped by. Even though the farmers
may have become land-rich, they would nonetheless have been cash-poor, the fate
of many white folks in the post-bellum South, while at the same time the black
folks were abandoned by promisors of 40 acres and a mule and forced relentlessly back into
near-slavery by twisted enforcement, or by outright non-enforcement of post-war laws
that had been enacted with the intent of aiding them. Perhaps the whites' poverty paid
but an inadequate installment
on the longtime debt incurred by their ancestors' sin, and their sin, of
fostering antebellum slavery. If ever an historic epoch showed the danger
of good citizens' sitting idly by, afraid to speak out, it is the time after
post-war Reconstruction when decent white folk allowed the Negro to be betrayed
and pushed back into near-slavery and fear of being lynched. The
election of 1876 ended de facto although not de jure the Civil War, when Tilden
who had won the popular vote swapped his victory for getting an agreement to end
Reconstruction occupation of the South. Rutherford B. Hayes became president,
and the northern troops left the South.
Somewhere I've read that Elmira's husband, Dr. Stephen Roach, did not like the South in which he had been born (NC) before 1800, because of the institution of slavery, and determined to move northerly. There, mostly in Indiana, his children who survived became educated and wealthy, while as far as I know Margaret Permelia McCorkle Scott's and Edwin Alexander McCorkle's & Jehiel Morrison McCorkle's children possessed little access to formal education--although the Dyer County parents sent them off to school to Yorkville (5 miles) and a place called Bluff Springs Academy (in Gibson County, I think, near Milan? perhaps in McLemoresville?). We are certain that Edwin's son John Edwin McCorkle, 1839-1924, at least, received a baccalaureate, because I possess his B.A. diploma from Bluff Springs Academy; and we know John Edwin McCorkle's brother Finis Alexander McCorkle attended Bluff Springs Academy, but Finis's college education would have been interrupted by the Civil War, during which Finis rode with Nathan Bedford Forrest. --Generally, for the most part, the Tennessee farmers were a very long way removed from the Princeton College in which their Finley-Montgomery-McCorkle elders had been educated; and their fortunes declined after the Civil War and bitter Reconstruction, except for the few who were smart enough to head north, e.g., my great-uncle Errett Cotton McCorkle. John Edwin McCorkle's son, Errett Cotton McCorkle, 1887-1976, I've been told by my elders, was pushed by his mother Mary, née Cotton and a native Kentuckian, to go live at her sister Laura Cotton Hunter's alias Mrs. John Crittenden Hunter's home in Louisville and read law. And sure enough, Uncle Errett prospered as he moved on to St. Louis and then Chicago, as the personnel manager for Renard Linoleum & Rug Co. He lost his fortune twice during "panics" but twice regained it. But most of Margaret's and Edwin's children remained on the land in Dyer and Gibson Counties of West Tennessee. I've read in the old papers that uncle Hiram R. A. McCorkle made a good bit of money during and after the war by trading horses and generally being a good mercantilist, but Hiram was the exception, I think, of his generation in post-war West Tennessee. And times for the grandchildren of the Civil War fighters did not improve by much, if at all, for they might have been land-rich but were cash-poor. It really wasn't until the next generation (mine; I was born in 1946) that the Tennessee farmers' children were able to get the kind of educations available to Elmira's children in Indiana; correspondingly it is my generation of McCorkle descendants who have prospered in time. Of course, I am speaking above in sweeping generalities; exceptions to the rule, as always, existed.

Hiram
McCorkle--just a teaser from one of HRA McCorkle's
Civil War journals
Update: Now,
his journals have been microfilmed by the Tennessee State Archives in
Nashville. They are extremely hard to read, unfortunately. Hiram
rode with Nathan Bedford Forrest. -- Somewhere in one of his journals he writes
that his brother Finis Alexander McCorkle has ridden off to find "Old Bedford."
When Hiram cannot or does not write in his own journals, his brother John Edwin
McCorkle's handwriting often makes entries.

Sarah Huie Hall was a sister to, inter alia, Benjamin Huie (1798-1879). Her husband's will was transcribed by Natalie Huntley, manager of the Dyer County rootsweb website. I think Sarah Huie Hall is buried in the CENTER CHURCH CEMETERY east of Newbern. Also included are some more wills.

McCorkle Cemetery, Dyer County, Tennessee, east of Newbern and west of Yorkville. Who lies therein?
McCORKLE CEMETERY on McCorkle Cemetery Road. Located about 5 miles east of Newbern, just north of the Newbern-Yorkville Highway (Hwy 77). Inscriptions were read by the late James Woodley May 2000.
With much gratitude to the late Mr. Woodley, I am attempting to begin adding what I know--more aptly, what my mother Joyce Cope Huie knows--about the folks interred in the McCorkle Cemetery. http://www.marshahuie.com/index.htm
Please help us add to the store of information about the people buried here. Many old markers have disappeared. Please email me at MarshaHuie@aol.com with any applicable information. Also, I welcome corrections.

Briefly with us in elementary school was Barbara Chandler. Beginning first grade with us but soon moving away were a girl named Grace ___ and a boy named Manuel ?Thompson? ______.
Our elementary school teachers were:
1st grade: Miss Annette Jackson & Mrs. Cooper
2nd grade: Mrs. Willis Bennett of Trenton, mother of a son also named Willis Bennett
3rd grade: Mrs. Katie Bell Meadows, mother of Jimmy Meadows & Robert Meadows
4th grade: Mrs. Mary Llewellyn Wyatt Jones, mother of Mary Llew Jones & Jennifer Wilson Jones Kinnard
5th grade: Mrs. Robyn Jones Gregory, mother of Anna Lois Gregory Kuykendall and Max Gregory--Memory fails, but I think we had two grades in one classroom that year. I do remember listening to and learning from the older grade's lessons, so I know that one-room schoolhouses had a great deal of merit, making all the modern grab for monies for "good schools" mostly hogwash propagated by misguided enthusiasts. It's the HOMES that need the most help. It's home-training that society misses today, not fancy accoutrements for the schools. I'm an open-minded person who wants to help my neighbor succeed, and I'm happy to pay federal taxes to better the country, so I hope this doesn't make me sound like a member of the John Birch society.
6th grade: Mrs. Mary Headden Glidewell (Mrs. Jess Glidewell), mother of ________ of Lake County.

Just for fun: Who's kin to me in the Class of 1964:
Janie Erwin (Davidson)* is probably very distantly related to me way back in North Carolina, for one of the MORRISON relatives to my ancestor--I think it was an aunt of my ancestor, Margaret Morrison McCorkle, 1770-1848, who married an ERWIN in NC around 1750.
Roseanne Kuykendall (Spain) descends from "Tina" Margaret Latina McCorkle (Mrs. John T. Gregory) and I from Tina's brother John Edwin McCorkle, 1839-1824. Roseanne and I find much common ground in the McCorkle Cemetery about 5 miles west of Yorkville.
Ray Scott* descends from Margaret Permelia McCorkle (Mrs. Lemuel Locke Scott), 180?4?-1855, and I from her brother, Edwin Alexander McCorkle, 1799-1853. We share as ancestors: ROBERT McCorkle, 1764-1828, & his wife, Margaret Morrison (McCorkle), 1770-1848; and: James Scott, 1777-1853, & wife Sarah Dickey (Scott), 1777-1838, who arrived in the environs of Yorkville from YORK District, South Carolina. If I'm kin to Janie ERWIN through some ancient North Carolina marriage of a MORRISON woman to an ERWIN man, then so is classmate Ray Scott.
LaNita Hall (VanDyke) and I are double-kin. LaNita descends from Sarah Huie (Mrs. Wilson Hall, interred Center Church just over in Dyer County) and I from Sarah's brother, Benjamin Huie, 1798-1879. Also LaNita descends from "Clementine" Tirzah Scott (Trimble) and I from Clementine's sister "Sade" Sarah Scott (Huie, Mrs. Julius M. Huie), 1839-1893. That makes Claudia Hicks (Paschal) and LaNita Hall VanDyke SCOTT-KIN to not only each other and me but also to classmate Ray Scott: we all four descend from JAMES SCOTT, 1777-1853, originally of YORK DISTRICT, SC, & wife Sarah DICKEY Scott, 1777-1838, whose children were Tirzah Scott McCorkle, Lemuel Locke Scott, 1801-1866 (Ray Scott's ancestor, who m. Margaret Permelia McCORKLE), James "Jimps" Scott, born circa 1810 (LaNita, Claudia, and Marsha's ancestor), William Scott, and John Dickey/Dickie Scott.
Claudia Hicks Paschall, like LaNita, descends from "Clementine" Tirzah Scott (Trimble) and I from Clementine's sister "Sade" Sarah Scott (Huie, Mrs. Julius M. Huie), 1839-1893.
Jennifer Jones Kinnard's mother Llewellyn Wyatt Jones and my mother, Joyce Rebecca Cope Huie, were, as Miss Llewellyn used to say, "bad kin." One common ancestor was Uriah C. Hendricks (& wife Mary MacMahon) of Mocksville, Davie Co., NC--who married in 1833 in Clermont County, Ohio, before heading to the western district of Tennessee. Uriah C. Hendricks's daughter "Hattie" Harriet HENDRICKS (Wyatt) was mother to Dr. Finis Wyatt, father to Miss Llewellyn, and Uriah C. Hendricks's daughter "Siss" Narcissus Eliz. HENDRICKS (Cope) was mother to Ira M. Cope, father to Miss Joyce Huie (my mother was our high school English & Latin teacher). Ransom Rivers Banks m. Sarah "Sallie" Cope and produced Miss Llewellyn's grandmother, Mary Melvina Banks (Turner, wife of Dr. A.E. Turner of Nebo) (also mother of the wife of Dr. Finis Wyatt: Dr. Finis Wyatt's wife being Ora BLANCHE Turner Wyatt). Also, back in NC, William Wyatt m. a Cope sister to my Cope ancestor. Jen and I share as ancestor: FREDERICK COPE, whose father from the Rheinland of the Palatinate, now Germany, spelled his name "KOB" variously COP and KOP. I won't go on with this. --So, Jen and I are Hendricks, and Wyatt, and Cope, and Schweiβgute / anglicized to Swicegood/ kin.
Terry Allen Brown and Phyllis Ann Headden are kin to each other and to me through the HEADDEN family. We all three descend from "Mose" MOSES HEADDEN, born 1802 in Covington, Kentucky, and wife Elizabeth Boyette (Headden). Mose Headden's son Winfield SCOTT Headden is my mother Joyce Cope Huie's grandfather. Mose Headden's son ____ is the ancestor of Phyllis, whose father Maury HEADDEN --and Maury's sister Mary Headden Glidewell (yes, our 6th-grade teacher) --were born to Printus alias Print Headden, grandson of Mose Headden & Elizabeth Boyette Headden. Terry A. Brown descends from another son of Mose & Elizabeth Boyette Headden, whose name I think was Samuel, but I may have that wrong. --I think Elizabeth Boyette (Mrs. Mose Headden) descends from a HOPKINS man who came over on the Mayflower, but I have not taken the time to try to prove it. Much hoopla surrounds the Mayflower Descendants which I've never understood, unless it's not about those who were financially distressed and outright renegades fleeing justice, but is about the PURITANS who stood up for their religious beliefs and escaped to Leyden, Holland.
