Previous scholarship on the documenting of the many Looney families enables this writer to stand on the shoulders of giants. Highly creative writers, such as, Don Norman, Leroy W. Tilton and Roberta Tuller provide much insight into the lives of the historic Looney family. I am also grateful to my paternal 1st cousin, Vernon Lee Holmes and his wife, Marilyn Williams Holmes, for their highest quality research that admitted me to the First Families of Tennessee from the genealogy of Peter Luna who came with James Robertson overland from Virginia to present day Big Salt Lick, 1779, Davidson County Tennessee at Fort Nashborough on the Cumberland River. </blockquote></span></h4><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 3.1829910278320312pt; margin-right: 12.23388671875pt; margin-top: 19.814788818359375pt; text-indent: 0.7928466796875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My paternal grandparents were Nora Lena Collins Holmes, 1897-1982, descendant of Joseph Looney, Sr. and Elizabeth Lleweyn, and Perry Allen Holmes, 1891-1988 of Fowlkes, Dyer County, Tennessee.

Robert settled a tract of 250 acres of land on the James River in what was to become part of Augusta County, and later Botetourt County, Colony of Virginia. He donated lands for the county seat and became an influential man in colonial politics. In 1742 he acquired three grants of approximately 1000 acres of land. Sayre says he became "one of the most prosperous farmers in the area, with his own mill, orchards, nursery, cattle and horses and even operated a ferry across .... Looney's Mill Creek." Goodrich Wilson writes in The Roanoke Times that they had a blacksmith shop and, because of the strategic location of their property where James River flowed around the base of the Purgatory Mountain spur of the Alleghenies and the base of the Blue Ridge, their home became a sort of tavern and trading center .... In 1745, John Buchanan was entertained at Looney's both going and coming on his visits to the New River Settlements. In 1753, the Moravian Fathers, on their way to start their settlements around what is now Winston-Salem, stopped at Looney's to have their wagons mended, their horses shod, their food supplies replenished, and .... a large batch of bread baked to their order. In 1756, George Washington crossed the river by their ferry on his way to inspect frontier forts, and the year before the Revolution, Hugh McAden stopped there while he watched the Looneys build a stockade fort for defense against the Indians. Robert's will, dated September 14th, 1769, was recorded in Botetourt County; it was probated November 13th, 1770. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4463671207427977; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 16.49664306640625pt; margin-top: 13.169525146484375pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When war with the French and Indians broke out, Robert, (5th Great Uncle of the descendants of Nora Lena Collins Holmes) was among the first to be killed (by Shawnee) in southwest Virginia: Sunday, Feb. 15, 1756.

The winter passed; summer came to the Valley. Peter came back from “.... as far north as Detroit.” Ed Sayle captures the heart of the family's early American military history: A third son, Samuel, (5th Great Uncle of the Descendants of Nora Lena Collins Holmes) was killed by Indians in 1760, and the home of a daughter, Lucy Jane, was raided and looted by Indians. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4374388694763183; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.208038330078125pt; margin-right: 1.66094970703125pt; margin-top: 13.35693359375pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Robert Looney, mindful of his responsibilities to his family and followers, erected Fort Looney, one of the fortifications recorded as resisting the Indian and French depredations until the end of the war in 1763 ....

During the American Revolution, two of Robert Looney's sons, Absolem and David were to see duty: Absolem (1729-1793) (5th Great Uncle of the Descendants of Nora Collins Holmes) in patriotic service in support of the military forces under General Washington; and David Looney (5th Great Uncle of the Descendants of Nora Collins Holmes), a Major in the North Carolina Militia who married Mary McClelland and had nine known children. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4463671207427977; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 4.5574951171875pt; margin-top: 12.294586181640625pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">10 August 1774 - Major.

David, were among the earliest settlers of the new Sullivan County, Tennessee. A document from the Moses Looney Historic Site reads: Moses Looney built his log house on a high ridge above the headwater spring for Fall Creek and beside the military road. The exact construction date is uncertain for the house but the military road was built here in 1761. A main route, the traffic along Old Island Road now has been taken up by the new Highway 126 which runs parallel and approximately one mile south of this point. Outbuildings include an assortment of early log farm buildings, constructed of hand-hewn timbers, joined in the half-dovetail fashion. There is a two-story log house built over the spring, and to the right side of the house is a double-crib, log granary with a centered, gable end-to-end, open pass through. In the yard is a single-pen corn crib with an open-end shed attached at one side. The largest log building is the frame and weatherboarded double crib log barn. The barn was designed with a central, puncheon threshing floor, deep hay lofts, and enclosed granary room at either gable end. The barn was eventually recovered with siding and enlarged to its present form. The Hawk-Pettyjohn General Store is located at one side of the property adjacent to the road and to the west of the house. It is presently being used for storage and has remained unchanged since 1918; however, in recent years it has fallen into a state of disrepair. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3776047229766846; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 7.73712158203125pt; margin-top: 12.835418701171875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The earliest records of this area show that Moses and David Looney were among the first pioneer settlers to make homes in the wilderness of Virginia which later became Sullivan County, Tennessee. Recently, historians have found and located the original, 383-acre Moses Looney land grant and they have identified this early log building as Moses Looney’s Fort House. It is the only fort house left standing of the four original forts which were vital to the settlement of Sullivan County before 1776. A pass through the Clinch Mountains was called Looney’s Gap marking their presence on the wilderness frontier. Records from the court of Fincastle County, Virginia, 3 May 1774, ordered Anthony Bledsoe to report all "tithables" in Captain Moses Looney's militia company. Moses Looney's log house was an important link in the fortification for this region of Tennessee. King's Mill became fortified as early as 1770 and Looney’s Fort House, Ramsey's Fort House and Eaton’s Fort House formed a tight protective triangle for the early settlers who were often forced to seek refuge during Indian raids on their homesteads. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3776047229766846; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 7.73712158203125pt; margin-top: 12.835418701171875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Accounts dating from this period show that settlers took refuge at Moses Looney’s during Lord Dunsmore's War and the Indian raids of 1774. Again in 1776 large numbers of settlers were “formed” at Looney's from July to September. The Island Road was built through this region by men of the 1 Virginia Military. The Island Road was the first wagon road, built as a military road to fortifications located on the Holston River. Constructed in 1761, it is second in age to Cresap's or Braddock's Road from northern Virginia to Maryland and western Pennsylvania. On 7 February 1780, the first official organization of Sullivan County took place at Moses Looney's. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3776047229766846; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 7.73712158203125pt; margin-top: 12.835418701171875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">David Looney was one of the first justices of the peace in the new county. He became a major in the militia and later resigned as a lieutenant colonel in 1781. He and nine other justices of the peace were present for the now historic meetings of the court which met at Looney's fort house. The court continued to meet there as in other buildings in this area up until 1785. David Looney was a member of the lower house of the Carolina Assembly of 1784. He was chosen as a delegate from Sullivan County for the 1788 convention called to consider ratification of a national constitution. In 1790 Governor Blount commissioned David Looney as a justice of the peace under the territorial government. He also represented the county in the first legislature of the state of Tennessee. By 1796 David Looney had moved to Knoxville where he became well known as an innkeeper. Moses Looney served in the militia and was captured by Indians in 1781. Local legend states that Moses Looney was shot and killed by Thomas Faulin who was attempting to escape from a posse. All other accounts or records of his life and property are unknown after 1785. Apparently Moses Looney's land did not change ownership until a 200-acre land grant was issued to Andrew Hawk in 1855. Signed by Governor Andrew Johnson, this grant is smaller than the Moses Looney grant. The Hawk grant was passed down through the Hawk family to the present owner who is the fifth generation of this family, the adopted son of James Susong Hawk, born in 1858. The Hawk-Pettyjohn General Store was built on the property in 1899. Located on the Old Island Road it was operated by John Pettyjohn and James Susong Hawk, and during the years it was considered to be the social gathering place for the local area. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3776047229766846; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 7.73712158203125pt; margin-top: 12.835418701171875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Prior to 1970, the approximate location of Moses Looney's property was determined by three major sources of information. The John Anderson manuscripts (1765-1850) were locked away in an old desk where they were found in 1950. Written by Anderson in his old age, these accounts described his experiences as a boy at the fort in 1776 and gave the location of Moses Looney's Fort House on the Old Island Road, above the headwaters of Fall Creek. Historians searched through old courthouse records and found additional information about the location of the Looney land grant. With this documentation, they were able to plot the location for the fort house. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3776047229766846; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 7.73712158203125pt; margin-top: 12.835418701171875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Further comparisons of these deeds and records indicate the Hawk grant had some of the same boundaries, borders, and neighboring grants as the earlier Looney grant. In 1970-1972, the log buildings were uncovered at this location where they had been boarded over inside the Hawk House. The log structure has remained undisturbed and its form was unknown until it was carefully recorded, preserved, and re-encased within the walls of the present. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 7.73712158203125pt; margin-top: 12.835418701171875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Source: UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> It is important to note the further significance of the Moses Looney Fort House is that this is where on 7 February 1780 that a meeting to organize the new Sullivan County was named. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12.774749755859375pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DAR Lineage Books: Vol 112, ID# 111637 </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4318969249725342; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 33.978302001953125pt; margin-top: 14.168853759765625pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">David Looney (1730-1810) Served as major and colonel, North Carolina troops.

Before the Revolutionary War during the 1760s, both James Brigham and David Looney were active members of the Virginia Militia in Augusta County, Virginia and fought against Cherokee raiders. Brigham family historian David Salmon asserted that James and Louisa Brigham relocated near the area of present-day Blountville, Sullivan County, Tennessee (then Virginia), 1769-1770. They were joined by Louisa’s uncles, Moses Looney and his brother David Looney, thus being among the earliest settlers of what would become Tennessee. Sometime in the mid-1700s, James Brigham relocated to Virginia, near Roanoke, in the Augusta County area. He then married Louisa Looney (b. 1739-1745, Looney’s Creek, Augusta County, Virginia5,6), the only daughter of Thomas Looney and Margaret Harman (Harmon)6. Thomas Looney had earlier lived in Pennsylvania, listed on the tax roll of Nantmeal Township there in 17247. He was also the first of the Looneys named on the muster roll of Augusta County, Virginia in 17428. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.384327983856201; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 8.80682373046875pt; margin-top: 12.960365295410156pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The 400 acres in Abb’s Valley that Thomas Looney owned along the Bluestone River in Virginia was later legally claimed by his daughter Louisa Looney Brigham sometime after Thomas’ death 17607,8. Not too far away, in what is now the area of Bristol, Tennessee, John Shelby, Sr. and his nephew Isaac Shelby had also relocated at about the same time8. Both James Brigham and Moses Looney are also mentioned in a 29 January 1770 Washington County, Virginia court document; this is described in Annals of Southwest Virginia by John Preston Summers9. Research by W. Dale Carter indicates that Pvt. James Brigham was on the pay roll of Capt. David Looney’s militia company in 1776; he was garrisoned at the Moses Looney Fort at Gunnings, in then Fincastle County, Virginia (modern-day Sullivan County, Tennessee) and served as a spy for the militia at that time1. Other sources state that Pvt. James Brigham was a member of Capt. John Shelby’s Company, Col. Evan Shelby’s 10th Regt. Virginia Militia that was organized January 1777. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.384327983856201; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 8.80682373046875pt; margin-top: 12.960365295410156pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recently, Jeff Brigance obtained Revolutionary War militia payroll documents from the North Carolina State Archives that document Pvt. James Brigham serving in Capt. David Looney’s Company, and stationed “on the Frontiers of Fincastle 1776”. As documented in Crane and Crane (2008), modern-day Sullivan County, Tennessee was at that time (1772-1777) Fincastle County, Virginia. It is possible that Pvt. James Brigham may have participated in the so-called Cherokee Expedition of Col. Christian during July 1776 while stationed at Moses Looney Fort in then Fincastle County, Virginia1. In addition, Pvt. James Brigham while a member of Capt. David Looney’s militia company is listed in the Library of Virginia Archives as taking part in Lord Dunmore’s War.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.384327983856201; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 8.80682373046875pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Source: Kenneth E.

Peter Luney (Looney, Luna), of the Virginia Militia, (5th Great Grandfather) was in a detachment under Captain John Smith, appointed to garrison Fort Vause (present day Shawsville in Montgomery County, Virginia), one of the western defenses of the upper Roanoke during the French and Indian War. There were fifteen Virginia Militiamen in muster. The fort was 100 feet square surrounding the Vause home with cabins which could garrison seventy troops, and had 15 feet tall palisades. The Vause family and their servants were in residence at the time of the attack. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 1.6763916015625pt; margin-top: 0.210693359375pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">French, Shawnee, Miami and Ottawa with 200 troops led by French Military officer, François-Marie Picoté de Belestre, attacked Fort Vause, and the all day battle was a rout of the Virginia Militia; the fort was burned. One hundred fifty Virginians were taken prisoner, wounded, scalped and killed at this battle. Sgt. Peter Luna was captured, wounded and taken prisoner at the fall of Fort Vause, June 25, 1756. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 2.746337890625pt; margin-top: 0.960693359375pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While the French Officer Belestre was wounded and receiving medical treatment the Shawnee and others grew increasingly hostile to the Virginians and burned to death the son of Captain John Smith as he was made to watch. Sgt. Looney and the captives were led and some drug by horses to the Shawnee Village. Even though the Battle of Fort Vause was a rout, the wounding of de Belestre stopped the French and Indian coalition from advancing on Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.4331344604492187; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 2.1400146484375pt; margin-top: 0.960662841796875pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sgt. Looney was with the Shawnee for about a year when he escaped. While captive, an Indian King adopted Sgt. Looney as his brother which enabled him to sit in council while at Detroit. Sgt Looney met another captive named William Phillips, and while on an expedition to buy supplies they escaped from the Indians. Then Sgt. Peter Looney traveled to Virginia to where his parents lived. (The “Mississippi Valley History Review” relates the story.) Fort Vause is reborn in the style of a composite earth-and-palisade structure. George Washington inspected Fort Vause in October 1756 during his tour of Virginia's frontier defenses. The story was documented also in a paper by Leroy Tilton who found it in an early publication as follows: Leroy W. Tilton states in “The Robert and Elizabeth Looney Family'' that no record of Robert Looney has been found earlier than 1734 when Robert and Elizabeth were in Philadelphia at the time their son Peter was born. In an interview that Peter Looney had on 28 July 1757 with a reporter of the “London Chronicle'' or ”Universal Evening Post'' for the September 6-8 issue that gives an account of Peter’s captivity for about a year among the French and Indians at Fort Detroit. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 5.3818359375pt; margin-top: 1.0567779541015625pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Peter stated that he was about twenty-three years of age and had been born in Philadelphia and was on his way from Albany to Virginia where his parents lived.

Peter Looney married Margaret Lauderdale. She was born near Looney’s Mill Creek about 1733 in present day Botetourt County, Virginia, and died 1786 in Sumner County of what would become Tennessee in 1792. Sgt. Luna had died in 1760 in Looney Creek, Augusta County, Virginia. Margaret was cited in court records Augusta County, Virginia, USA in 1764 in Augusta (Now Rockbridge), Virginia, USA. William Lauderdale is recorded having a contract with the widow of Peter Looney to drive some cattle which she inherited from Peter Looney. This William was her brother. (5th Great Uncle). Both Lauderdale and Looney families were pioneers into this frontier area of colonial Virginia. Recently, Clint Lauderdale published a book, "History of Lauderdales in America, 1714-1850.” Lots of counties and Fort Lauderdale, Florida named for descendants of Scottish emigrant James Lauderdale. After Peter's death, Margaret married James McKain/McCain, and they traveled to frontier Tennessee with the Donelson flotilla. Note that her son, Peter Jr. (5th Great Grandfather) traveled overland with James Robertson. Jane Crawford, James Lauderdale, John Lauderdale, Rodger Lauderdale, David Lauderdale, Joseph Lauderdale, Robert Lauderdale, William Lauderdale, and the Half sister of The Hon. Jean Fergusson (Maitland) Margaret Lauderdale (1750 - 1793) all traveled to Tennessee with the Donelson flotilla. Margaret Lauderdale Looney McCain’s father, James Maitland Lauderdale, Sr., (7th Great grandfather) had land holdings along Looney's Mill Creek, upstream from land holdings of Robert Looney, Sr. Margaret was still alive when James Lauderdale mentioned his daughter as "Margaret Cain, the widow of James Cain," in his will dated 22 September 1796.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 3.8975830078125pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Peter Grancer Luna III 1786- and Mary Polly Bond 1785-1856 </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 3.8975830078125pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4th Great Grandparents of the Descendants of Nora Lena Collins Holmes</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11.9975pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 3.8975830078125pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They were married in Sumner County, Tennessee 7 November 1804. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 9.242973327636719pt; margin-right: 7.3121337890625pt; margin-top: 25.83441162109375pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Peter Luna Candidate for House of Representatives</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 9.242973327636719pt; margin-right: 7.3121337890625pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For Sumner County 20 April 1813</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.442008352279663; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 2.41729736328125pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Peter Luna, a son of Peter Looney, Jr., was born near the Cumberland River in present day Tennessee about 1788 and died after 1850 in Marshall County, Tennessee.

What was the legacy of Johan Martin Shultz? It seems that Grandfather Shultz was a gentleman of his word who was held in high esteem by many, and he built a solid reputation of trust and decency for his descendants to emulate. Johan Martin Shultz was born 1740 into a German Swiss extended family that immigrated from Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany in the 18th century to Pennsylvania Colony. To modern day readers this may seem simple, but in the 18th century the Shultz’s traveled the Rhine River to Holland boating several weeks to reach the Atlantic port. It was another eight to ten weeks aboard a sailing ship to the Port of Philadelphia. By 1745 more than 40,000 lived in Pennsylvania Colony, an unusual colony for the time due to its ideals of anti violence, religious persecution, and arbitrary authority. Penn believed that no people can be happy if abridged of the freedom of their consciousness. Penn believed that the government, like clocks should go by the motion that men give them. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 40.5pt; margin-right: 73.5pt; margin-top: 1.0853424072265625pt; margin: 1.08534pt 73.5pt 0pt 40.5pt; text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Source: By William C.

This move was celebrated by his marriage to Juliana Stentz 1741-1810 on 28 July 1761 at Christ Lutheran Church, York, Pennsylvania Colony.

It is believed that with the pioneer area a doctor was more in need than a cordwainer, so he learned the art of medicine by most likely understanding someone, or taught himself. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.29553; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 1.0853424072265625pt; margin: 1.08534pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By 1777, the Shultz family decided to move to the newly created lands of Washington County, North Carolina,</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 166px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 385px;"><img height="147" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/9vSBtPWgIuuxxJyRdPq6ar7cdbGhoxecbv4hicrNmRBLC68UtNOJ-UVvOkAPdEVHhK2TJyW9tZFPWSNJxcfdL50f4yQlWQXMlpDLcgjWNr8FX1OVFuOdDKbnnB2iSLoFlP9xYHh9=w341-h147" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="341" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin: 0pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3211; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 23.333251953125pt; margin: 23.3333pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was the time that Sullivan County, Tennessee was carved from Washington, North Carolina. Johan Martin Shultz was now a land speculator, as well as a doctor. The American Revolution was now beginning to capture the minds and hearts of all who learned of its existence. Dr. Shultz enlisted in the Militia under Col. Shelby and Col. Campbell. The muster rolls have him listed as a private with John Sevier and not a surgeon. This is where family tradition and fact seem to separate. To further illustrate the point I read </span><span style="color: #000066; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">King’s Mountain and its </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Heroes written in 1881 by the renowned Lyman Draper and he does not even mention Shultz.

The battle itself was one of a very short duration in which the sharpshooters of the North Carolina Militia’s Overmountain Men made quick work of the world’s greatest army of the British Empire and the Tories or Loyalists who supported them. This was a time when Americans fought Americans.</span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 270px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 366px;"><img height="235" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ReQMmpCnZ02ui8qcaqbf80Xq21pL5fp0TIfC_ejcsk11UNjKTKIVzPYCfUZ-9KA3oZMR13CIZ5T6p-FBelhKAxcHiqQCvnQqrnt5UbwFB0P_Ta4LASElCaU1A5XC_YlfKZHxTeV1=w320-h235" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="320" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin: 0pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin: 0pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin: 0pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The results of the quick battle were totally astounding in that every British soldier was killed or captured. Col. Ferguson, who had the chance months earlier to kill General Washington was shot from his horse and killed in the battle. This precipitated the second in command to surrender. Col. Ferguson’s bravado was responsible for the intensity of the Patriot Overmountain Men because he said that he would find each of them and hang their families. Dr. Martin Shultz left with the Overmountain Men, but not before they had hung nine of the most serious offenders of the Tory’s. They were hung in groups of three at the Biggerstaff Hanging Tree which is now set aside as an historic area. It was said that they would have hung more but they ran out of rope. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.31825; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 1.0436859130859375pt; margin: 1.04369pt 37.5pt 0pt 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.995pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our ancestor Shultz made his way where he lived until 1787 in the State of Franklin and is interred there in an unmarked grave.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My father-in-law, Ray Shubert, the baby in this picture, was born in September 1917, leading me to believe the photo was taken around 1918. George was fifteen years old in 1920 on the Lenoir City, Loudon Co., Tennessee US census, so he was probably thirteen. Sweet Ethel in her precious hat was listed as eleven on the 1920 census, so would have been nine years old here. Ethel married a man named Thomas and later lived in Saint Louis near her son, Clarence, where she died. My father-in-law often talked about her and his childhood memories of her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>These pictures and notes were given to Alyce Shubert Proaps in Lenoir City, Cealy Jane's granddaughter, by George's daughter, Eva Ruth (another granddaughter), before she died last year (2011). So I imagine the writing on the back is hers. I know it is not Aunt Alyce's. If there is anyone who has information they would like to share or questions they have about what I have on my blog, please contact me.Judith Richards Shuberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006124476666341610.post-68497389290382000782010-05-10T08:11:00.000-07:002010-05-10T09:45:32.801-07:00Pictures of Cealy Jane Rogers ConnerMy father-in-law's sister in Lenoir City called us Saturday morning and talked a long time to both me and Shubert. She called to see how things were with his siblings in Nashville since she hadn't heard from them after the flood there this past week. They are fine. She always likes to talk about the past and family. She was telling me that after her oldest sister died in 2007 she saw how much she had accumulated and how difficult it was for her nieces to go through. But she was a wealth of information about our common ancestry and, like me, hated to let go of a newspaper clipping, a photo, a graduation program, or any number of things that make up the fabric of our lives.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Aunt Alyce said she saves everything herself and so she went home and started going through things one room at a time so her only daughter wouldn't have to deal with so much when she is gone. She said she doesn't throw things away and is very careful to save things that she feels would have some family meaning.<br />
<br />
A cousin of hers, the daughter of George D. Conner and Nelle Scarbrough, had given her some pictures before she herself had died a few months ago. She said they were of Cealy Jane! Cealy Jane Rogers Conner was Alyce and this cousin, Eva's, grandmother. Alyce is trying to locate the pictures. She said they are in the bedroom she is cleaning out and when she runs across them, she'll send me copies. I am very excited about that. I will then place them here on Tennessee Memories for all of you to see. I will then be able to confirm whether or not the <a href="http://tennesseememories.blogspot.com/2009/06/possible-conner-mother-and-daughter.html">little picture beside Grandma Martha Ann Conner Shubert is indeed her mother, Cealy Jane.</a><br />
<br />
When she told me this, I started talking to her about Mr. Rogers contacting me and the connection we had found between the Conners and the Rogers. Listen to this ~ she said her Granny Cealy Jane had a <a href="http://tennesseememories.blogspot.com/2010/04/moonshiners-bootleggers-prohibition-and.html">brother </a>whom she loved very much. And even though he had moved to Columbus, Georgia, they had remained very close all their lives! That was before I told her about Mr. Rogers' grandfather, George.<br />
<br />
Alyce is the youngest of the Shubert siblings, only 10 years older than my husband, and she didn't remember seeing George and his brother, Jim, like my father-in-law had. Nor had she ever heard about their <a href="http://tennesseememories.blogspot.com/2010/04/moonshiners-bootleggers-prohibition-and.html">professional bent</a>. But she did say they were a "little better off than some of us and had a little more spending money," (her) Granny said.<br />
<br />
I don't remember whether she knew Mr. Rogers' grandfather's name was George or if I told her that, but she said she thought her Granny Cealy Jane had probably named her son, <a href="http://tennesseememories.blogspot.com/2010/04/conners-rogers-in-lenoir-city-cemetery.html">George D. Conner</a>, after him because she missed and loved her brother so much. Her son, George D., committed suicide when he was only twenty-six. I can only imagine how devastated she must have been to lose him. <br />

This beautiful lady was a surprise when I took my husband's grandmother's photo out of a frame that was in his mother's cedar chest. At first I thought it might be one of those pre-printed prints that smile up at you when you purchase a new frame - one that you feel you should know, but don't; one that has 8 x 10 and the manufacturer stamped across the front! It isn't one of those. It is definitely a studio portrait, but has no markings on the back except some penciled numbers that are common on some photographs.<br />
<br />
Someone had placed Leola Hitch Davis Ray's studio portrait on top of this one. Her daughter, Marilee Davis Shubert, had the framed pictures in her home at the time of her death. Leola's picture wasn't removed for a long time, and when it was removed in order for me to scan it, I discovered this very pretty lady.<br />
<br />
Marilee went to college at Carson Newman in Jefferson City, Tennessee, so I thought she might be a friend from school. Or she may have been a friend of her mother's, Leola. Leola left Tennessee and moved to Florida. Then again she may have been another member of the family: a Davis, a Delozier, a Burns. <br />
<br />
If there is ANYONE out there who recognizes her, please, please contact me. I would love to be able to connect her with a family member. My email is in my profile on the right, or you can leave a comment at the bottom of this post.<br />

The Hallmark Hall of Fame's presentation is based on the true story of the "sorely-tested but ultimately enduring love between Lois Wilson, co-founder of Al-Anon, and her husband Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous."<br />
<br />
Their story took place during the years 1918 and 1934. James Ray Rogers was nine years old when Lois and Bill got married and he died four years before Lois, in 1934, finally witnessed Bill get and stay sober – not through her help, but from the support of a fellow alcoholic and later Dr. Bob Smith. Out of their relationship, AA was born. But I did not intend to tell the Wilson's story, but to tell you of the young Ray Rogers.<br />
<br />
My father-in-law used to tell me of a couple of his uncles, George or "Shorty" and Jim, whom he remembered coming into Lenoir City in their fast cars and their fancy clothes and staying at the hotel down town. He said he thought they were bootleggers and that they had eventually moved from Blount County, Tennessee, to the Columbus, Georgia, area as whiskey dealers. He also told me Ray Rogers was killed by Federal "Revenuers" while he was carrying whiskey for his father, George.<br />
<br />
The Rogers descendant I told you about in my previous post, <a href="http://tennesseememories.blogspot.com/2010/04/conners-rogers-in-lenoir-city-cemetery.html">Conners & Rogers in Lenoir City Cemetery</a>, has told me that my father-in-law was correct. His grandfather, George "Shorty" Rogers, and great-uncle, James "Jim" Rogers, were the ones Mr. Shubert was talking about. Mr. Rogers sent me pictures of George and James "all dressed up like I imagine they were in Lenoir City so long ago."<br />

No one knows who was the first of the Tennessee Rogers to go to Columbus, Georgia, but go they did! No one knows why they chose Columbus, but everyone agrees that they had to leave Tennessee - some believe they were "run out" of the state. George had many ties to moonshine before and after leaving Tennessee and in the 1920 Muscogee County, Georgia Census he lists his birthplace as the "United States" - not Tennessee or Georgia or Arkansas - just the United States! Do you think he didn't want anyone to know where he was?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
George worked as a cab driver in Columbus and later owned a grocery store, selling and delivering moonshine in the Columbus area. He had many conflicts with the law and others during the Prohibition time. His son, James Ray Rogers, paid the ultimate price while working for George. On July 25, 1930, at the age of twenty-one he was killed by a federal dry agent while delivering a gallon of moonshine in Columbus. It was ruled that the agent's gun went off accidentally and the case was dismissed.</div>

It is said that George's brother, Jim Rogers, never married or had children. He slipped one morning and hit the back of his head on the foot-board of his bed. The fall killed him. He is buried in the Rogers family plot in Riverdale Cemetery in Columbus.</div>

Yesterday I found a group of pictures I had taken in 2001 while visiting the Lenoir City Cemetery with my husband and his daddy, Ray Allen Shubert. I had completely forgotten about them; they are 4 x 6 glossy prints - before my digital camera days. I have a pack of photos from that cemetery as well as some taken in 2003 in Eusebia Presbyterian Cemetery, Elijoy Cemetery, and Logan's Chapel Cemetery. The last three cemeteries mentioned are in Blount County. Lenoir City Cemetery is is Loudon County about three-quarters of a mile from the center of town. The county is in east Tennessee in what is considered the Knoxville Metropolitan Area.<br />
<br />
I have recently been corresponding with a descendant and grand-nephew of Cealy Jane Rogers Conner, my husband's great-grandmother. He has generously allowed me to use photos and information that he has acquired about the family here on <a href="http://tennesseememories.blogspot.com/">Tennessee Memories</a>.<br />
<br />
First, I would like to post some photos of the headstones and monuments found in Lenoir City Cemetery that I took back in 2001, when my father-in-law was still alive and enjoyed reliving his childhood and retelling the stories he had heard and conjuring up the things he had seen.<br />

Mornan died first in the year 1878, so my theory is that Henry had her tombstone engraved with the correct spelling of their name; then when he died in the year 1915, his step-children or Nancy, his second wife, had it engraved incorrectly. It might have been an error by the maker of the monument or the family, but I feel that Mornan's tombstone was correct since Henry was still alive.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>It's amazing! Over the last few weeks I have received emails from folks who are descendants of my husband's Shubert, Reynolds, and Cooley families. Boy, has that gotten me hopping! I must admit I haven't done any new research on these families in a few years, and I was a little rusty with my information, to say the least. But with so much paper in my files and a very large number of names in my Family Tree Maker, I was at least able to sound somewhat intelligent.<br />
<br />
My husband and I were very excited when a Cooley descendant wrote because that is one line on which we have very little information.<br />
<br />
My husband's line is as follows:<br />
1. James Cooley, Sr., born about 1745, died about 1780 in Henry Co.,Virgina<br />
+ Ann<br />
2. James Cooley, Jr., born about 1765 in Virginia, died about 1852.<br />
+Martha Patsey Stewart, born 1770 in Franklin Co., Virginia<br />
3. Elijah Cooley, born 1788 in Franklin Co., Virginia, died 1868 in Roane Co., Tennessee<br />
+Jemima Walden who died in 1832<br />
4. Chapman Cooley, born 1824 in Roane Co., Tennessee; died 1905 in Miegs Co., Tennessee<br />
+Ginity America Brock, born 1821; died 1897 in Meigs Co., Tennessee<br />
5. John Thomas Cooley, born 1845, died 1918<br />
+Nancy Jane Cofer, born 1843 <br />
6. Sara Jane Cooley, born 1868 in Meigs Co., Tennessee , died 1909 in Roane Co., Tennessee<br />
+John Henry Shubert, born 1865 in Roane Co., Tennessee; died 1924 in Loudon Co., Tennessee<br />
7. Henry Estel Shubert, born 1889 in Roane Co., Tennessee; died 1953 in Loudon Co., Tennessee<br />
+Martha Ann Conner, born 1892 in Sevier Co., Tennessee; died 1964 in Loudon Co., Tennessee<br />
8. Ray Allen Shubert, born 1917 in Loudon Co., Tennessee; died 2003 in Davidson Co., Tennessee<br />
+Marilee Davis, born 1923 in Monroe Co., Tennessee; died 2000 in Davidson Co., Tennessee<br />
9. Robert Allen Shubert + Judith Gail Richards<br />
<br />
My husband's 3rd great-grandparents, Chapman Cooley and Ginity America Brock were married in Roane County in 1841. An interesting notation was written on the license.<br />
<blockquote><b><i> Notes for Chapman Cooley:</i></b></blockquote><blockquote>According to the Roane County, Tennessee marriage records of 1801-1855, when Chapman Cooley married Merica (America) Brock on April 16, 1841, a note was written on the license that said:</blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>"A find(e) weding(wedding) this evening, April 16th, 1841.

I have found many tombstones with the symbols of Freemasons in cemeteries where I have trekked looking for an ancestor or just visiting in order to take pictures for my cemetery blogs, <a href="http://cemeterieswithtexasties.blogspot.com/">Cemeteries with Texas Ties</a> and <a href="http://cemeteriesofthecoveredbridges.blogspot.com/">Cemeteries of the Covered Bridges</a>. They are varied and beautiful, indicating that the person memorialized there was a member of the Freemasons during his lifetime.<br />
<br />
Since Dan Brown's books, "Da Vinci Code" and "Demons and Angels", were published in 2006 there has been a flurry of interest in the Masons. I've had questions about the institution's symbolism, philosophy, and history since then and have discovered several direct and collateral ancestors who were members of the Freemasons.<br />
<br />
What I have been surprised to learn is that my late father-in-law was a Mason, but left the organization in 1988 after being affiliated with them for thirty-four years.<br />

He found an envelope and papers mailed to his father in Nashville from the Ashland Lodge No. 604, F. & A. M., Ashland City, Tennessee in June of 1988. It is an original document with the seal of the lodge affixed in the lower left corner.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The document indicates that he asked in writing to be released from his membership in the Ashland Lodge. Not knowing what a "DIMIT" was and what it implied, I decided to do some research about the origin of the word.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1873 Albert G. Mackey, M. D., a 33 degree Mason, wrote and published in London, England <i>"An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences."</i> He did so because he felt that "few men had the means, the time, and the inclination for the purchase of numerous books, some of them costly and difficult to be obtained, and for the close and attentive reading of them which is necessary to master any given subject." It was that thought that suggested to him many years prior to writing and publishing his encyclopedia, "the task of collecting materials for a work which would furnish every Freemason who might consult its pages the means of acquiring a knowledge of all matters connected with the science, the philosophy, and the history of his Order."<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On page 204 Dr. Mackey defines the word Demit. "A Mason is said <i>to demit</i> from his Lodge when he withdraws his membership; and a <i>demit</i> is a document granted by the Lodge which certifies that that demission has been accepted by the Lodge, and that the demitting brother is clear of the books and in good standing as a Mason."<br />
</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the body of my father-in-law's Dimit it says that he was in good standing "and having paid all sums regularly charged against him, was dimitted at a regular meeting of this (Ashland No. 604) lodge."<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mackey continues with "<i>To demit,</i> which is the act of the member, is, then, to resign; and to grant a <i>demit</i>, which is the act of the Lodge, is to grant a certificate that the resignation has been accepted. It is derived from the French reflective verb <i>se demetire, </i>which, according to the dictionary of the Academy, means 'to withdraw from an office, to resign an employment.'<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The application for a demit is a matter of form, and there is no power in the Lodge to refuse it, if the applicant has paid all his dues and is free of all charges. It is true that a regulation of 1722 says that no number of brethren shall withdraw or separate themselves from the Lodge in which they were made, without a dispensation; yet it is not plain how the law can be enforced, for Masonry being a voluntary association, there is no power in any Lodge to insist on any brother continuing a connection with it which he desires to sever.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The usual object in applying for a demit is to enable the brother to join some other Lodge, into which he cannot be admitted without some evidence that he was in good standing in his former Lodge. This is in accordance with an old law found in the Regulations of 1663 in the following words: 'No person hereafter who shall be accepted a Freemason, shall be admitted into any Lodge or Assembly until he has brought a certificate of the time and place of his acceptation from the Lodge that accepted him, unto the Master of that limit or division where such Lodge is kept."<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In looking at Mackey's definition of Dimit, he writes that the word is "a modern, American, and wholly indefensible corruption of the technical word <i>Demit. </i>As the use of this corrupt form is beginning to be very prevalent among American Masonic writers, it is proper that we should inquire which is the correct word, <i>Demit </i>or <i>Dimit.</i><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For almost a century and a half the Masonic world has been content, in its technical language, to use the word <i>demit.</i> But within a few years, [as of 1873 when Mackey wrote the Encyclopedia] a few admirers of neologisms - men who are always ready to believe that what is old cannot be good, and that new fashions are always the best - have sought to made a change in the well-established word, and by altering the <i>e</i> in the first syllable into an <i>i</i>, they make another word <i>dimit, </i>which they assert is the right one. It is simply a question of orthography, and must be settled first by reference to usage, and then to etymology, to discover which of the words sustains, by its derivation, the true meaning which is intended to be conveyed."<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mackey further writes, "<i>to demit,</i> in Masonic language, means simply to resign. The Mason who demits from his Lodge resigns from it. The word is used in the exact sense, for instance, in the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin, where it is said: 'No brother shall be allowed <i>to demit</i> from any Lodge unless for the purpose of uniting with some other.' That is to say: 'No brother shall be allowed <i>to resign</i> from any Lodge.'<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>To dimit</i> is derived from the Latin <i>dimittere. </i>The prefixed particle <i>di </i>or <i>dis</i> has the effect of <i>off from</i>, and hence <i>dimittere </i>means to send away."<br />
</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> After finding Dr. Mackey's definitions of the words <i>demit </i>and <i>dimit</i>, which is found on my father-in-law's document from the Ashland City Lodge, I wasn't sure whether he was allowed to resign or whether he was "sent away."<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The back of the document gave the dates of his initiation into the Freemasons in 1954, and his affiliation into the Ashland Lodge from the Nashville Doric Lodge #732 in March of 1962. I know that the Shuberts moved from Nashville, Tennessee to Ashland City, Tennessee around 1961 and then back to Nashville a short time later, around 1963.

</div>What a beautiful award! I am so honored to have been given this new Kreativ Blogger award by Diana, the creator and author of <a href="http://randomrelatives.blogspot.com/">Random Relatives</a>. Thanks, Diana.<br />
<br />
The winner of this award is supposed to list seven things about themselves and then pass the award along to seven other bloggers. There are so many wonderful bloggers out there who deserve this award, and I enjoy reading them all. I have learned more about genealogy through my association with the friends I've met through blogging than anywhere else. I would love to recognize them all! Let me start with 7 ~<br />
<br />

<br />
Now for those 7 things about me ~ hmmm ~<br />
1. Working on new project. As newly appointed historian for the Mineral Wells High School 50 Year Club, my alma mater, I'm preserving memorabilia that has been donated to the club.<br />
2. My mother was a twin and my step-father was a twin. Just KNEW I'd have twins, but didn't.<br />
3. Struggling with recurrent cornea erosion for the last year.<br />
4. Lived in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama after getting married. Then finally back to Texas where we met!<br />
5. Love to read history books ~ read for an hour every night, no matter what time I go to bed, and at least that long while I'm drinking coffee every morning.<br />
6. Live on a cul-de-sac and can see our pick-up on Google Earth!<br />
7. Always wanted to learn to fly. Do ya think at 66 I've waited too late?<br />
<br />

</div><blockquote><i>In the cold, early morning of the last day of 1862, a battle erupted between two American armies totaling more than 80,000 men. The small town of Murfeeesboro, Tennessee was about to become a major battlefield.</i><br />
</blockquote><blockquote><i>The Battle of Stones River was one of the bloodiest of the war. More than 3,000 men lay dead on the field. Nearly 16,000 more were wounded. Some of these men spent as much as seven agonizing days on the battlefield before help could reach them. The two armies sustained nearly 24,000 casualties, which was almost one-third of the 81,000 men engaged.</i><br />
</blockquote><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Today, more than 6,100 Union soldiers are buried in Stones River National Cemetery. Of these, 2,562 are unknown. Nearly 1,000 veterans, and some family members, who served in the century since the Civil War are also interred there.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">About 2,000 Confederates are buried in the Confederate Circle at Evergreen Cemetery. This plot is their third resting place. They were buried on the battlefield by Union soldiers after the battle, and were moved to their own cemetery later. When the first Confederate cemetery fell into disrepair in 1867, the bodies were moved to Evergreen Cemetery.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On Memorial Day, 2005, some of my family members visited the Stones River Battlefield where we listened to a Park Ranger tell of the battle that raged on that site more than one hundred years earlier. My grandsons, young as they were, listened with awe and asked questions of us as we walked through the cemetery later. They remembered the ranger telling about the German soldier named Christian Nix that fell on the first day of battle. Stones River National Battlefield’s museum and archives collections hold many artifacts and documents detailing the life of Lieutenant Christian Nix of the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin Infantry. The boys were anxious to look for his tombstone. A carved wooden board once marked his original burial place and a marker of stone now displays his name and company. That Labor Day there were flags marking all of the graves.</span><br />

The <a href="http://www.tngenweb.org/loudon/history/cinn.html"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">Carmichael Inn</span></a> is a two story log structure which served as a stopping place for stage coach travelers enroute from Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. Travelers would be ferried across the river to spend the night and then resume traveling the next morning by the next stagecoach. Although the exact date of construction is unknown, the first stage of construction is thought to have been completed around 1810. The log house was built by John Hudson Carmichael (1780-1840). His sons operated the Inn, the ferry, and the stagecoach. Two of his sons, James and Dan, fell in love with and married two sisters who were traveling on the stagecoach from Georgia to the Tate Springs Resort.</span><p> </p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;"> The Carmichael Inn can be described as an "I-house" as it is two stories tall, one room deep and two or more rooms long. It has a central chimney which opens into fireplaces in the two downstairs. The structure has a gable roof and two front and two rear doors. A two-story porch runs the length of the house. The Carmichael Inn is currently being used as a museum and visitors center.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span> </p><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47hEI5qSNPYcIMhytGYnmRUHuRs42xfbm4MGDnUyTM2TgPs2IRki3koM5ui7XtkKQd71RpOAiL2-T-tpbGBwJAK0A-YXtDSWJuzplUgR7tLmnWxtdCuM1mTdYtVWxrLoQMe_A47r8C3o/s1600-h/Henry-Estel-Shubert-circa-1945.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 327px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47hEI5qSNPYcIMhytGYnmRUHuRs42xfbm4MGDnUyTM2TgPs2IRki3koM5ui7XtkKQd71RpOAiL2-T-tpbGBwJAK0A-YXtDSWJuzplUgR7tLmnWxtdCuM1mTdYtVWxrLoQMe_A47r8C3o/s400/Henry-Estel-Shubert-circa-1945.JPG" alt="Henry Estel Shubert son of John Henry and Sallie Cooley Shubert made circa 1945" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398589923008106290" border="0" /></a><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Henry Estel Shubert</span></span><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" > <span style="font-weight: bold;">November 11, 1889 Roane County, Tennessee</span></span><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" > <span style="font-weight: bold;">October 25, 1953 Loudon County, Tennessee</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrYK4yMszkDtz5bkZSXvCEbb-LWRR2C5vdISPQVtz7p4bgdCT_68gtW-UANM3NA6t8dMY6mN2-2jDy66PZhwg3VgC-twfz2pysfqOsbVRIIxEiiNRieHhUpeR-lWpPUA5npVbCxjOg4G4/s1600-h/Children-of-John-Henry-and-Sara-Jane-Cooley-Shubert.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrYK4yMszkDtz5bkZSXvCEbb-LWRR2C5vdISPQVtz7p4bgdCT_68gtW-UANM3NA6t8dMY6mN2-2jDy66PZhwg3VgC-twfz2pysfqOsbVRIIxEiiNRieHhUpeR-lWpPUA5npVbCxjOg4G4/s400/Children-of-John-Henry-and-Sara-Jane-Cooley-Shubert.jpg" alt="Children of John Henry and Sara Jane Sallie Cooley Shubert Lenoir City TN after 1953" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398605958496685618" border="0" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Children of John Henry Shubert (1865-1924) and Sara Jane (Sallie) Cooley (1868-1909)<br />Lenoir City, Tennessee<br />Left to right: Arch, Ben, Ulysis, Maude, Henry Estel, and Buck<br />Picture made before 1953.<br /></span></span><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">On the wall in Aunt Alyce's dining room there is a painting of a home, one that looks like so many others found in the little communities across our country. It is a wooden structure and it is obviously a place that holds many memories for the Shubert family, as it is lovingly displayed in a place of prominance.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I asked Aunt Alyce about the picture and about why it meant so much to her and her brothers and sisters. She was eager to tell us the story about how her father, Henry Estel, had lived in the house as a child and how he had laid on his bed in the upstairs bedroom and looked out of the window, staring at the stars dreaming of what his life would be like one day. She pointed out the very window that opened up the world to him in his dreams. It was the second one from the left.</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Now the house stands as a testament to those days when our ancestors lived and died, worked and played in our beloved Tennessee. It is the very same structure that houses the Loudon County Museum.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >Schubert and Wells Genealogy, written by W.B.

I have been so out of things for a while with my eyesight and the work I'm doing as Historian for our "50 Year Club" in Mineral Wells - my high school alma mater - that I've not been keeping up with my blogging community like I should. I truly appreciate the nomination and am really excited about the possibility of being voted on by readers.<br /><br />Congratulations to all of the nominees!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Judy</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_JXuzRh06GSb5sk-V4kXIMexHrjlfT02NEwk0z5KHyvE2fl_goVbhcJcHFhEl62zwQq5HSBD_2eDpO8f9Kvsqaz9MZxhwwi4wvPcnugFNwH0gKew0OneImZF7hyphenhyphenhJ7s9FZy0pKpnIC3U/s1600-h/Judy+Signature+trans.jpg"><br /></a></div>Judith Richards Shuberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006124476666341610.post-88365979911155189552009-07-12T14:22:00.000-07:002009-07-12T15:08:46.542-07:00Joseph E.

He doesn't remember Joe but remembered Arie very well. He said she taught him to read at a young age and remembers visiting her in Orlando after Joe died and she was living with her daughter (Bob's grandmother), Leola. Leola and Arie also would drive to Nashville from Orlando and visit. He has very fond memories of her.<br /><br /><br /></div></div>Judith Richards Shuberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.com2
