Baby Wyatt Ewing Cashdollar Blackwell, almost 3 months, Feb. 2010, held by
father Brian Louis Blackwell. I call little Parker "Little P" and he
always responds, "My name is Parker." I call little Wyatt Ewing "Baby WE"
and he cannot fuss back yet.
Baby Wyatt descends from WYATT folks. We know that way way back in Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina, occurred intermarriages between Joyce Cope Huie's (my mother's) Cope and Wyatt folks; and Cope and Banks folks. Little WYATT's "Ewing" comes from his mother's grandfather Howard EWING Huie, 1907-1971, my father and the father of Sophie Joyce Huie Cashdollar, little Wyatt's maternal grandmother. ---Jennifer Jones Kinnard and her late sister Mary Llew Jones McGuire, as well as Diane Wyatt and Diane's sister Sarah Blanche WYATT Bundy, descend also from Wyatt-COPE folks (as well as from the marriage of Sarah "Sallie" COPE to Ransom Rivers BANKS). Well, the point is made: Baby WYATT Ewing Cashdollar Blackwell got himself FOUR (4) family names, and that's special for him.

This webpage aims to preserve the genealogy and correspondence (from 1829) of the following families, and of many more:
Immigrants circa 1730 to Pennsylvania (from Northern Ireland): 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 McCorkle 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 uncles; I do not know. (Parenthetically, record of a James McCorkle exists--is he in fact "ours?"--in the area of Mecklenburg County, NC, around today's Charlotte, which was also the locale in the mid-1750s of my Huie ancestors.)
Major Francis McCorkle: Assuming arguendo that James McCorkle begot Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800), and I'm far from certain about that, then Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800) was not as some have written a brother to Francis McCorkle. (Francis McCorkle was a Revolutionary War major in the North Carolina line.) That would make Francis McCorkle, rather, a 1st cousin to "our" Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800. Francis McCorkle married a Brandon woman; and Alexander McCorkle (1722-1800) himself took a second wife named Rebecca (McNee?) Brandon. Francis & Alexander (1722-1800) would have been what southerners call "own" cousins.
Mr Joe M. McCorkle in Ireland has an excellent web site investigating McCorkles-McCorkells on the other side of the pond, at this hyperlink: https://sites.google.com/site/ulstermccorkells/welcome He gives clues to the parentage of "our" Alexander McCorkle in that he shows parish marriages and christenings in Eire (Ireland) & Ulster (Northern Ireland).
Discussed on this web site, also, are the ff. people, and more:
'Nancy" Agnes McCorkle's MONTGOMERY ascendants: John Montgomery & Martha FINLEY (Montgomery).

Has anybody been to the town of MORRISON situated between Manchester and McMinnville, Tennessee?
William Morrison (1704-1771) (son of JAMES MORRISON) & William Morrison's wife Margaret (maiden name unknown) Morrison, were the paternal grandparents, by their son ANDREW MORRISON who married Elizabeth SLOAN, of:
granddaughter (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:
grandson (2)William Hays Morrison, 1767-1837 (buried McCorkle Cemetery, Dyer Co., Tennessee, right 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 county was carved out as Coffee County, Tennessee); and
grandson (3)Andrew Sloan Morrison who on 11 March 1801 married Mary Haynes' sister Sarah Haynes, born Dec. 31, 1780.
A preacher, presumably Presbyterian, Andrew Sloan Morrison wandered into Tennessee on his journeys and appears as owning property in several places, including the Chilhowee Mountains. His sister Margaret Morrison McCorkle wrote daughter Elmira Sloan McCorkle (Roache) in 1838 that she --Margaret--thought her brother ANDREW was probably in Virginia "attending to an old lawsuit there." One of the children of Andrew Sloan Morrison was Presbyterian minister Andrew Alfred MORRISON (1807-1884), who was born in Iredell Co., NC, and died in Salina, Kansas. Andrew Sloan(e) Morrison himself may have died a resident in Indiana, but as to his meanderings I must defer to his descendant, today's Jean Morrison of Cincinnati.
Here is a hyperlink to a web site that includes Andrew Alfred Morrison: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jcplummer/clotiaux/2/50172.htm; and
grandson (4)George Morrison, 1771-1854 who remained behind in Iredell Co., NC, and fathered, inter alia, George Milton Morrison, who sired several children; and
granddaughter (5) Elizabeth Morrison Lowrie of Iredell Co., NC; and
granddaughter (6) Rachel Morrison Brown alias Mrs. Robert Brown(e) who died 1 July 1835 (probable date of Rachel's death according to an old letter from Rachel's sister Margaret Morrison McCorkle to Margaret's daughter Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache). Rachel Morrison Brown's only daughter (I think) was Matilda McKee Browne, who in good Iredell County, North Carolina, MORRISON late 18th-century and early 19th century fashion married her Morrison 1st cousin (first-cousin-once-removed). Matilda Brown(e) married a son or grandson of her uncle William Hays Morrison, 1767-1837: either Joseph Pinckney Morrison or a son of Joseph Pinckney Morrison; and
granddaughter (7) Mary Morrison (Mrs. John Morrison) who m. a son of her uncle Patrick Morrison; and
granddaughter (8) Rebecca Morrisonwho probably never married (for her last name remained Morrison; but note (above) that Rebecca's sister Rebecca Morrison married a first cousin, John MORRISON), and Rebecca died between 1851 (mentioned in 1851 letter as being alive) and 1860 (by 1860 she was no longer present in the Coffee County, Tennessee, census although her sister Mary was). Presumably Rebecca Morrison died as resident near Hillsboro in Coffee County, Tennessee. I note herein Mary Morrison Morrison's statement in a letter transcribed herein that her nephew EDWIN ALEXANDER McCORKLE (my g-g grandfather) had, not too long before Edwin's death in early 1853, generously sent his aunts Mary and Rebecca Morrison one whole U.S. dollar. I also note herein that Margaret Morrison McCorkle stated in a letter to her daughter Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache that Edwin had loaded up a wagon in Dyer County, West Tennessee, and trekked all the way easterly to Coffee County in a vain hope to remove his two aunts from their penury and take them with him to reside with Morrison-McCorkle family pioneers residing in West Tennessee (then the "frontier).
Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache's letter to her nephew, Dr. James Scott McCORKLE of Newbern, Tennessee, stated that her Elmira's grandfather, ANDREW Morrison, had raised eight (8) children; also that these Morrisons were "strict Presbyterians."
It is a good thing for us today that the above 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 genealogy room of the Statesville public library (Iredell County).

The immediately above hyperlink picks up:
Generation I. James Morrison, born circa 1675 in Scotland. Wife: MARY---;
Generation II. William Morrison, 1704-1771, who called himself the "first inhabitor" of Loray community near Statesville, in what is now Iredell County, North Carolina. [Iredell Co. was carved from ROWAN County in 1788.] This William Morrison's Wife: MARGARET ____-- ;
III. Patrick Morrison, a brother to "my" Andrew Morrison. That is, this Patrick Morrison was brother to the Andrew Morrison who married Elizabeth Sloan (Morrison). This PATRICK MORRISON was therefore an uncle to Margaret Morrison McCorkle (Mrs. Robert McCorkle), 1770-1848. The life of Margaret MORRISON McCorkle began in the Iredell County (carved from Rowan in 1788) part of ROWAN COUNTY, North Carolina, and ended at what she called VERDANT PLAIN, now Churchton community in eastern Dyer County, Tennessee, just west of the Gibson County line. I think her father, the Andrew Morrison who married Elizabeth SLOAN(e) (Morrison), died in 1815 in Bedford County, Tennessee, probably in the part that was to be carved out as COFFEE COUNTY.
Source of the ff. information is an old letter from Elmira Sloane McCorkle (Roache) to her mother Margaret Morrison (McCorkle): Elmira inquired, Whatever happened to Uncle Patrick's son [the son's name was JOHN MORRISON, but Elmira didn't name him] and "Aunt Mary" 's "poor children," if there were any? --That meant Margaret Morrison McCorkle's sister MARY MORRISON married John Morrison (yes, I'm afraid it's true: the bride Mary Morrison and the groom John Morrison were, in the usual MORRISON fashion back then, first cousins). It turns out that the "son of Uncle Patrick" who married his first cousin was John Morrison --this John Morrison was the son of Margaret Morrison McCorkle's uncle, Patrick Morrison (Patrick being a son of "first inhabitor" William Morrison, 1704-1771). I do not know if Mary Morrison Morrison had a son named James Morrison in Coffee County, Tennessee; but it's likely because this James was the family with whom Mary Morrison Morrison and sister Rebecca Morrison were living, in penury (the poverty is according to Mary's wailing letters to West Tennessee to her nephew RAH McCorkle, Margaret Morrison McCorkle's son RAH McCorkle). It's likely but just speculation now, by me at least, that the James Morrison with whose family Mary & her sister Rebecca Morrison lived in their oldest ages, in Coffee County, Tennessee, was a son of John Morrison & Mary Morrison.
IV. William Morrison
V. Josiah Morrison -- environs of Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee.

Revolutionary War veteran Jacob Thomas & wife Margaret Brevard (Thomas) of Rowan/Iredell County, NC, whose son William Thomas married Elizabeth Purviance. Quaere: Was Margaret BREVARD (Thomas) a daughter of ZEBULON BREVARD, as some have written in handwritten and/or typed files placed in the Statesville Public Library in Iredell County, NC, in the genealogical room in Iredell County, North Carolina? I do not know who the parents of Margaret Brevard (Mrs. Jacob Thomas) were, but if she was (subjunctive mood: were) a daughter to Zebulon Brevard & Ann Templeton, that makes her a TEMPLETON descendant of a passenger on the Mayflower. From Winchester, Tennessee, Sir John Templeton of the Templeton Growth Investment Fund went on to endow Templeton College at Oxford University in England. Good grief, BREVARD relatives!!! He graduated from Winchester high school in 1930.

But John Templeton has made the real goal of his life the elaboration of a new concept of spiritual progress. While recognizing and appreciating the great religious insights of the past, he envisions a new era of spiritual discovery that may rival the astounding physical discoveries of the past few centuries brought to us through science. "Sir John Templeton drove a small red rental car out of the long sweeping drive of the big brick house at 600 South High Street in Winchester,Tennessee, and proceeded down High Street. It was the beginning of two days of travel down memory lane—to recount for me some of his experiences growing up in a small town in middle Tennessee. The big brick house had been built by John’s father for his parents, Dr. John Wiley Templeton of Beech Grove, Tennessee, and Susan Jones Templeton, formerly of Canton, Mississippi. Dr.Templeton had received one year of medical training in Nashville, and had been a regimental surgeon in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. After the war he practiced general medicine for some forty years in Wartrace, Tennessee, and then retired to live in Winchester. His mother VELLA's family. Her father, Robert Clinton Handly, had been a businessman in Winchester, with a busy grain mill on Boiling Fork Creek. The Handlys were also prominent politically. John’s maternal grandmother,Elizabeth Marks, was the sister of Colonel Albert Marks, governor of Tennessee. John can even boast of a Revolutionary War-hero ancestor, Virginia-born Samuel Handly, whose parents emigrated from northern Ireland in 1740.
Elizabeth Purviance (Mrs. William THOMAS) was a daughter of "colonel" John Purviance of the North Carolina line in the Revolutionary War & of 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 near today's GALLATIN 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)(then, soon, Mrs. William McCorkle) died all too soon, before 1800, after re-marrying and becoming Mrs. William McCorkle, becoming therefore daughter-in-law to immigrant Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800, & wife "Nancy" Agness Montgomery McCorkle. SAMUEL KING had signed, as A.D. 1800 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.
Two of the THOMAS daughters of Jacob Thomas & Margaret Brevard (Thomas) married brothers named SHERRILL. Elizabeth Thomas m. Samuel Wilson Sherrill (Elizabeth Thomas Sherrill). And Elizabeth's younger sister Anne alias Annie Thomas m. Abel Sherrill (Anne Thomas Sherrill). The youngest from the union of Jacob Thomas & Margaret Brevard were JACOB THOMAS, Jr.; and ANNE THOMAS SHERRILL. My ancestor, WILLIAM THOMAS who m. ELIZABETH PURVIANCE, was one of the children of Jacob & Margaret BREVARD THOMAS, also. (Click here for BREVARD, THOMAS, and SHERRILL Families of the piedmont of North Carolina.) --Ora Huie and Katie Pearl Fox were McCorkle sisters: my Aunt Ora McCorkle Huie and Aunt Katie Pearl McCorkle Fox's records list an Ann Thomas (Sherrill) but fail positively to identify Anne Thomas SHERRILL as a child of Jacob & Margaret Brevard Thomas (which Anne was). Our old McCorkle/Huie 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, Sarah Dickey Scott being a daughter of John Dickey & Sarah Robinson Dickey of York District, South Carolina; James & Sarah Dickey Scott having lived at one time in York District, South Carolina. I suspect that James Scott, 1777-1853, began his life in Pennsylvania and that his father was the immigrant, but am not certain. --Their descendant Glenn Smith Scott of Yorkville, Tennessee (Gibson Co.) died in the spring of 2009, leaving behind children and his brother Wm. Aaron Scott. --Annie Maude Scott (Mrs. Brown) died in Henderson, Tennessee, in the year 2009; born in West Tennessee, Annie Maude married a man from Guntown, Mississippi, then moved to Henderson to be near the family of her brother's widow, Yvonne Scott (Mrs. Rev. THOMAS Elihu Scott).
Another example of allied lines is the Archibald Wasson -Elizabeth Woods Wasson family. Someday I hope to include a section on the WOODS-WASSON genealogy.
Stuart Hoyle Purvines's big red PURVIANCE / PURVAIANCE book of the year 1984, to which I provided much information about the Tennessee descendants of Revolutionary War "colonel" John Purviance (serving as soldier in the North Carolina line during the war) and wife Mary JANE Wasson (Purviance), of Rowan Co., NC, says the "colonel" 's parents, JOHN PURVIANCE who m. Miss McKNIGHT came from people who were originally Huguenots at Royan near La Rochelle, west coast of France, and who had fled up to Castlefinn in Northern Ireland to escape the Roman Catholic persecution. Also, someone has placed on www.ancestry.com that James MORRISON came from Castle Finn. This JAMES MORRISON was father of our WILLIAM MORRISON, who called himself the "first inhabitor" of the Loray community area near Statesville, Rowan County (later, in 1788, IREDELL county), North Carolina. This Castlefinn business--of the immigrant John Purvaiance / Purviance/ who m. McKnight, and of immigrant James Morrison: I do not know anything about. Nevertheless, here's the WIKIPEDIA information on Castlefin alias Castlefinn of County Donegal in the northwestern-most part of Ireland. County Donegal is yet a part of EIRE, the REPUBLIC of Ireland; County Donegal is not a constituent part of the Northern Ireland that is a part of the United Kingdom but is part of Eire (the Republic of Ireland):
"Castlefin (Irish: Caisleán na Finne), (sometimes spelt Castlefinn) is a market town in the Finn Valley of County Donegal, Ireland, an Ulster county within the Republic of Ireland. The town has a population of 810 (2006) and is located between Ballybofey and Lifford. The River Finn flows by the town. The town is located in along the main N15 national primary road, which runs from Bundoran to Lifford. The town lies 6 miles from Lifford and 8 miles from the twin towns of Ballybofey /Stranorlar. It has close links to the twin towns of Ballybofey/ Stranorlar, Letterkenny and has strong links with West Tyrone in Northern Ireland, especially with the towns of Strabane and Castlederg." ... ... ... "Castlefinn is in the parish of Donaghmore, barony of Raphoe, 4.5 miles from Lifford."
--The above is from the Wikipedia entry, at <http:www.wikipedia.org>. Look to the central right boundary of County Donegal to see Castlefinn.
John Purviance m. Mary Jane Wasson, my, Marsha Cope Huie's, ancestors. This John was son of another John Purviance (who m. McKnight). One of John & Jane Wasson Purviance's children was Elizabeth Purviance alias Mrs. William Thomas, and another child was church "elder" David Purviance, who aided in starting the Disciples of Christ/ Church of Christ at Cane Ridge, Kentucky. 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, the application states, of her son-in-law Edwin Alexander McCorkle, 1799-1853, who was a Justice of the Peace for Dyer County.
The John Purviance who married Mary Jane Wasson was in 1775 a member of the Rowan County, NC, Committee for Safety, meaning that he was a revolutionary. Yet, he would not leave his Presbyterianism and join the new "restoration movement" of Barton W. Stone and his own son, "elder" David Purviance, the latter of whom is considered a co-founder of the Christian Church / Church of Christ in that he spread the movement in Kentucky and, partially because of opposition to slavery, northward to Ohio (settling in "New" Paris, Preble County, Ohio). This John Purviance did, however, join the new CUMBERLAND Presbyterian movement begun in 1810 in Middle Tennessee. --So, the reader may wonder, was this "colonel" John Purviance really a revolutionary; or did he like many Scots-Irish in the American colonies merely jump on a chance (the revolutionary movement) to get back at the British who had long discriminated against Presbyterianism in favored of an established anglican church?
It's not clear to me why he--"our" "Revolutionary War colonel" John Purviance--is of 1811 record in Giles County, Tennessee, which is down on the southern border of Tennessee, a border shared with Alabama, Giles County's main city today being Pulaski, Tennessee. "Colonel" John Purviance deeded 450 acres of land to Samuel Woods, grantee, who by then was up in New Paris, Preble County, Ohio, near "elder" David Purviance, son of John & Mary JANE Wasson Purviance. I suppose "colonel" John Purviance had received this acreage as remuneration for his Revolutionary War efforts, but this is speculation. -- New Paris, Preble County, Ohio, was the locale to which John & Mary Jane Wasson Purviance 's son "church elder" David Purviance had removed, from, first, Rowan Co., NC; to, second, Sumner County, Tennessee, in or near Old Shiloh Presbyterian Church just outside today's Gallatin; to, third, near Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky (because John & Mary Jane Wasson Purviance's son named John Purviance Jr. had been scalped in 1792 in Sumner County, Tennessee); to, fourth, New Paris, in Preble County, Ohio.) Please see Deed Book A, page 205, Giles County, Tennessee, Deed Books, this deed having been registered on 25 Sep 1811. The 450 acres lay on a tributary of the Elk River called Indian Creek. Acting as witnesses to grantor John Purviance's deed were brothers of the grantee: William Woods and David Woods. --Parenthetical note about land-owning in Giles County, Tennessee: "our" Alexander McCorkle Jr, son of immigrant "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery d. 1789 & immigrant Alexander McCorkle, 1722-3 to 1800, lived at one time after moving from the Piedmont of North Carolina in GILES COUNTY, TENNESSEE, also. This Alexander McCorkle Jr.--brother to "our" Robert McCorkle, the Robert who m. Margaret Morrison, then moved on to Henry County, Tennessee, the main city of which is Paris, Tennessee. There, after having a son also named Alexander McCorkle, he began to refer to himself as Alexander McCorkle Sr. I know he was in Giles County for a while because he wrote a letter back home to his sister McCorkle-Ramsay which appears in the RAMSAY papers housed in the U of North Carolina Archives at Chapel Hill.
Click here for a bit of information about DAVID PURVIANCE.
Click below for an excerpt from Levi Purviance's biography of his father, "elder" David Purviance, describing his--Levi's--grandfather, Revolutionary War soldier "colonel" John Purviance who married Mary JANE Wasson (Purviance). This John might have been born at Castle Finn, Northern Ireland, as his father (another John Purviance) had been; but probably was born in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. Was "colonel" John Purviance who m. JANE WASSON (Purviance) an emigrant from Northern Ireland? The de PURVAIANCE family in France had become Huguenots seeking refuge in the west coast city of La Rochelle, France, after Louis XIV stupidly revoked the toleration implied by the Edict of NANTES; and from Royan / La Rochelle, the Purviances had sailed seeking freedom in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In France, a name using "de (plus a locale)" implies nobility; so I suppose at some point Jacques de Purvaiance, or some kinsman, had been "made" noble in return for some favor bestowed. That fits, as "Purvaiance" means "purveyor" or "purveyance."

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.

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
THYARITA Presbyterian Church, Rowan County, North Carolina, in Mill Bridge community near Mooresville near Salisbury, North Carolina. A Sloan's Mill stands nearby. Preacher of note: Dr. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle, son of "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery & husband Alexander McCorkle. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle graduated from the precursor of Princeton College, having studied at Nashua Hall under his maternal uncle Dr. Joseph Montgomery, 1733-1799, who--Joseph Montgomery--was a member of the Continental Congress from Pennsylvania. Samuel Eusebius McCorkle's brother was my ancestor, Robert McCorkle. Samuel's wife was nέe Gillespie. Her father was killed at Fort Dobbs outside today's Statesville, NC. Her mother remarried and became Elizabeth Maxwell STEELE, after whom a DAR chapter was named as she gave all her specie to General Nathaniel Greene at a low point in the Revolutionary cause. --There was once a Thyatira Presbyterian Church (now, defunct) in Cannon County, Tennessee, near the Rutherford County line. It is now only Thyatira burial ground and is situated a bit north and west of Bradyville, near the Rutherford County line. As mentioned, there is a MORRISON, Tennessee, which lies on the road from McMinnville running southwest to Manchester, in Warren County, Tennessee.

Click below for: McCorkle-Anderson-McMurry-Leath Excursus: Progeny of my ancestor Robert McCorkle by 1st wife Elizabeth Blythe McCorkle (not my ancestor). Those children were: Infant Aleck; and daughter Elizabeth McCorkle Anderson, whose children by her husband THOMAS ANDERSON were: Martha ( Mrs James T Leath). Julia Anderson. Elizabeth (Mrs. Rev. John MITCHELL McMurry) (Cumberland Presbyterians).
The children by his first wife Lizzie BLYTHE (McCorkle) of "our" Robert McCorkle ended up being more "high society" than did the children by Robert's second wife, my ancestor Margaret MORRISON McCorkle. The Robert McCorkle about whom I'm writing now is Robert the son of Alexander & "Nancy" Agnes Montgomery (McCorkle), that is, the Robert who died in 1828 really soon after removing from Middle Tennessee to Dyer County, in the newly opened Western District of Tennessee. James T Leath, e.g., was ruling elder for the whole Memphis area of the Presbyterian Church. --I suppose we were "no class" because where the second set of children, speaking generally, ended up living, and the area where I was born, has NO SOCIETY. Farmers aren't big on "class," just on getting the crops planted and harvested--or that's my impression at least. I do have to admit, though, that in my childhood--the 1950s--the white McCorkle descendants around home thought they were Big Cheese.

William & Elizabeth Purviance's son DAVID Thomas was first attorney general (ad interim) of the Republic of Texas. He's buried outside Houston, at San Jacinto Battleground, in the de Zavala Cemetery, in a hero's grave.
At roughly the same time that David Thomas was acting secretary of war and attorney general for the nascent Republic of Texas, David Thomas's first cousin-once removed JAMES HOUSTON THOMAS was attorney general of the State of Tennessee (1836-1842). According to the Political Graveyard source, this James Houston THOMAS then became U.S. Representative from Tennessee 6th District, 1847-51, 1859-61; Delegate from Tennessee to the Confederate Provisional Congress, 1861-62. James Houston Thomas died near Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tenn., August 4, 1876. Interment at St. John's Cemetery, Ashwood, Maury County, Tennessee.
Quoting the Nashville Daily American: August 6, 1876 "James Houston Thomas born N.C., 1808; moved with family to Maury Co., Tenn. about 1815; an attorney-general for several middle Tennessee counties; elected to U. Congress in 1846 and 1848. Died recently.

It is this James Scott (1777-1853), whom "old friend Scott" (James Scott) married circa 1838 in Gibson County, Tennessee "to the satisfaction of all his friends."

A.D. 2010 update: long-seasoned now in the old McCorkle letters, I have come to believe Mary C. Thompson Dickey (Mrs. Matthew Dickey of Dyer Co., Tenn.) was the MARY COX about whom her grandmother wrote in an early letter just after settling in Dyer County, in the newly opened Western District of Tennessee. Margaret Morrison McCorkle apprised her daughter Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache that Mary Cox had finally recovered from the ague.--Some COX people appear as do these McCorkles in the Rutherford County, Middle Tennessee, land records of the early 1800s.

"Uncle Joe" was a son of RAH alias Robert Andrew Hope McCorkle & Tirzah Scott (McCorkle).
Verna Pope Arnold's daughter, Kathleen Stanley Barnes, buried Verna in the Rock Springs Cemetery, Henderson County, Tennessee.
Verna Pope Arnold mothered Kathleen STANLEY (later Mrs. Barnes of Nashville), Kathleen being born in 1910, before Verna Pope married "Buck" Arnold of Yorkville. Kathleen Stanley Barnes never lived, I think, in the Yorkville area but lived in Nashville at least as an adult; Kathleen joined the DAR through immigrant Alexander McCorkle, the Alexander who died in 1800. Re: Verna POPE Arnold: Annie Glen McCorkle knew Kathleen Stanley Barnes in Nashville, and Verna's daughter's daughter may have attended Transylvania College; I'm not sure about that but Sophie Huie Cashdollar remembers that when she was a Transy student, a NANCY BARNES was in the class a year ahead of Sophie, Transylvania University Class of 1963.

Nota Bene. I think I erroneously placed the death date as 1872 for "Jimps" James Scott (born 1810). Jimps Scott appears in the 1880 census so probably died circa 1882, but I'm no longer sure about any date of his death. I erroneously thought the little, almost-gone stone (shown above, listing somebody's date of birth as 1810) that I found in the old Yorkville Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery showed the date of death of "our" James "Jimps" Scott. I must have been wrong. But at least I did get a marker erected to honor these people, however ridded with inaccuracies it is.Click below for:

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.

John Edwin McCorkle, 1839-1924. Born in prime years for becoming Civil War cannon fodder, just after receipt of a baccalaureate from the soon-defunct Bluff Springs Academy. (The situs of the Bluff Springs Academy? I think it was in Milan or nearby McLemoresville, Gibson County, West Tennessee.)
--His first wife was "Tennie" Scott (Tennessee Alice Scott, born to William Scott of Hardeman County (ultimately, although he was a sojourner in Gibson/Dyer County); William Scott being a son of JAMES SCOTT, 1777-1853, & wife Sarah DICKEY Scott, 1777-1853. Wm's siblings: Tirzah Scott McCorkle of Dyer Co, Lemuel Locke Scott of Dyer-Gibson Co., James "Jimps" Scott of Gibson-Dyer Co., John Dickey/Dickie Scott ofGibson/Dyer then Hardeman Co.
John Edwin McCorkle's 2nd wife Mary Elizabeth Cotton (McCorkle), below. She is my father Ewing Huie 's maternal grandmother, that is, Mary Elizabeth Cotton McCorkle was mother to, inter alia, Sophie King McCorkle (Huie). She died in 1929. :
above: Mary Elizabeth Cotton (Mrs. John Edwin McCorkle, his second wife, after "Tennie" Tennessee Alice Edwards Scott McCorkle, 1850-1879). "Mollie" Mary was born in Nelson Co., Kentucky (in Botland near Bardstown) to John Cotton (died 1852, Botland, Nelson Co., KY) & Juliet TONG Cotton (Juliet was interred while visiting her daughter in Tennessee in the McCorkle Cemetery, Dyer Co., Tenn.).
Finis A. McCorkle: ______________________________

First wife: "Sallie Jo" Sarah Josephine JACKSON (McCorkle), who is interred at Mt. , just north of Newbern, Tennessee, in contiguous OBION County. We do not know whether Finis himself is buried there with his first wife, or in the McCorkle Cemetery in Dyer County (west of Yorkville and east of Newbern)
Second wife: "Mag" Margaret HART, about whom I've heard nothing good. Finis's son GILLUM McCorkle around the turn of the century committed suicide in his bed, which he shared with brother HOMER McCorkle. In 1984 I telephoned Finis's last surviving child, centenarian Maida McCorkle Montgomery, then living in California, whose mind sounded lucid. Maida or MADA told me, no, she had no memory of the burial place of her father FINIS McCORKLE. Maida was Mrs. Howell Montgomery and she had one daughter Margaret Montgomery, a librarian who died after 1984 without issue, in California.

Under construction--to be added as I can. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS !!!!!
In 1873 a John ZŰrcher of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, received a U.S. patent on a certain improvements on looms for weaving. This was at a time when I know "our" John C. Zarecor (who m. "Becky" Rebecca McCorkle) was already living in Dyer-Gibson County, Tennessee). I do wonder, though, if the Pennsylvania inventor was kin to our Zarecors. The diary of my g-great grandfather, John Edwin McCorkle, records that he ate many a dinner with his sister "Becky" McCorkle Zarecor and her husband, John C. Zarecor, around the time of the Civil War; so many meals that I would imagine that John C. Zarecor was relieved when his brother-in-law, John E. McCorkle, married.
Why did the Zarecor family quit being interred in the family McCorkle Cemetery? "Aunt" Becky McCORKLE Zarecor, their ancestor, is interred there. It is a sadness to me that they went elsewhere for family interment. It was usual back then for the bride to leave her religion and take up her groom's. Thus "Becky" McCorkle became a Cumberland Presbyterian.

Some names to watch for coming from Elizabeth McCorkle REEVES: Priestly, Jones,
Until about 1986 I was proud to correspond with an elderly lady, Kate Priestley BLANCHARD (Mrs. Fred Blanchard), a descendant of Elizabeth McCorkle REEVES. She died in 1988. Kate had to move from Gibson County, Tennessee, to El Paso, Texas, because Mr. Blanchard was afflicted with tuberculosis, and in the early 20th century Tennessee physicians liked to send TB patients for the dry air of Texas. We should all read Leonardo daVinci on physicians; basically, he cautioned Stay Away!. Kate's husband, Fred Ewing Blanchard, 1891-1932, was not cured, sad to say.

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.

Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache, who moved up north, became wealthy; while her siblings who remained down in Tennessee did not. 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.

Chronic Fatigue. Epstein Barr Virus. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Recently, in August 2009, a blood test revealed I had a very high number of active Epstein Barr Virus; my score was 30 times what it should have been (30 times high-normal).
Treatment was infusions of Alpha Lipoic Acid for 5 days (an anti-oxidant, as best I understand it); followed by oral dosage (pills) of Alpha Lipoic Acid (purchased from the health-food store) and Pantothenic Acid (3 pills twice a day), plus lots of vitamins to bolster my immune system.
Here is what I took, but please not that I am NOT giving medical advice, merely describing the course of treatment administered to me:
PANTOTHENIC ACID 500 MG. I take 3 PILLS TWICE DAILY.
Rebuild--osteopososis formula: a multivitamin from Metabolic Maintenance Company: 6 capsules daily.
Selenium 22 mcg tablets. I took two a day.
Vitamin D --I take the 5000 IU strength because I suffer from chronic/acute pain. People without pain wouldn't want to do that, I imagine.
Magnesium Citrate from Metabolic Maintenance Co. 500 mg.
Alpha Lipoic Acid --Carlson Co. or Metabolic Maintenance Co.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is no joke. For months before diagnosis--yes, I went to several doctors who did not test for Chronic Fatigue--I slept and slept yet still wanted to sleep even more. Four months later, in December 2009, I don't feel the desperate need to sleep. I'm not a medical professional, and make absolutely no warranties or guarantees, but I want to give some help to anyone suffering as I was. There is hope. I am posting this in the hope that this information will help somebody somewhere.

McCORKLE CEMETERY: McCorkle Cemetery Index collected by Natalie Huntley 's Dyer County, Tennessee, web site. The McCorkle Cemetery is located in Dyer County, TN ... On McCorkle Cemetery Rd, off Hwy 77 East From Newbern & west from Yorkville. Before the Civil War and more particularly before the railroads, Yorkville was the better town. First grave there: Robert McCorkle, 1764-1828, husband of Margaret Morrison (McCorkle), 1770-1848, also interred there; also beside Margaret Morrison McCorkle lies her brother William Hays Morrison, 1767-1837. Recently discovered: a brick in the pre-Civil War "black folks" portion of the cemetery that reads BEAN. That means JOYCE COPE HUIE, 11 Nov. 1915-24 Dec. 2009, my mother, was correct in telling me long ago that JEFF & ELLA [McCORKLE] BEAN and perhaps their son ROSCOE BEAN are interred in the McCorkle Cemetery. -- The McCorkle Cemetery some 5 miles east of Newbern, in Dyer County, and west of Yorkville.

Whose house was this? I have two ideas but do not know: one, was it the old Mose Headden - Elizabeth Boyette Headden house? two, was it Glen Roache McCorkle's house?
Uncle ERRETT COTTON McCORKLE's best friend in St. Louis/ Chicago/ was John S. Moore; John S. Moore's son was James W. Moore, pictured above in 1945 (WWII uniform)(in aviation) I found a 1918 ad in the New York Times saying to BUYERS that Renard Linoleum & Carpet Co. (St. Louis, Chicago) would be in New York City on a certain date. Uncle Errett Cotton McCorkle was personnel manager for Renard Co.
