Today is my daughter's birthday. As I prepared what is one of her favorite meals, it brought back memories of all of those loved ones who have been in my life. My potato soup (my famous potato soup if you ask my daughter) is the meal. As I cut up the potatoes I am reminded of my grandmother who always criticized the size I cut up the potatoes. My usual response was to ask her to leave the kitchen, a cook doesn't need a back seat driver. And my mom, who always complains I make too much (though we have never ever had to throw any out).
The soup isn't just a favorite of my daughter's. My late great Uncle Bill Sedore would always ask for a bowl. My brother asks me to make it when he comes home. It is part of our family memories.
Just last week when I prepared some of the things we always bake each year, it is my grandmother's handwriting on the recipe cards. The things I make each year with my daughter are the same things my grandmother made with me. I still recall how excited I was to help her each year, and the same thing happens with my daughter. I told her that one day she would make these same things with her daughter, and she would be teaching her daughter the same things that my grandmother and my great grandmother taught me.
There are certain meals in my family that I can't help but think of one of them. New England Boiled Dinner (my daughter's other favorite meal), was something I watched both my grandmother and her mother make every year. Every time we have these meals, once again, I am brought back to my childhood. When I brave my great grandmother's sour braten again (and I am not sure when that will be), I will picture her in the kitchen all day, apron on, cooking this meal which was only for special occasions.
When we decorated our tree, it is full of ornaments that were on my grandmother's tree. Each year, I tell my daughter about some of these ornaments. She may grow tired of the story now, but I envision a time when they are on her tree, and she is telling this story to her children.
Having been accused of caring more for the dead than my living family (an accusation I totally do not agree with), I have to recognize that yes, so much of my life is tied up with past generations. I don't really think that makes you care less for the living though. I really hope that all of those who read my blog look at their traditions, both the old, and the new ones we develop as we live our lives. Pass on the history. It is more than just names on a piece of paper.
Merry Christmas.

McCurdy's of Escambia County, Florida
Elijah McCurdy of Escambia county is the progenitor of many descendants in the panhandle area. Born in 1793 in South Carolina (place varies by the document in his army records), his past is elusive. No one to date has been able to trace him further back. There is little doubt that he is a relative of the other McCurdy's in the South Carolina and Georgia area, but exactly how is the question.
Most of us feel that William H. McCurdy whose in Escambia in 1820 is probably his brother, and though I haven't changed the data in my tree, I am no longer sure that Nancy, the wife of Joshua Bowen is a sister of Elijah, though she may be.
We know that Elijah's first wife was Mattie Bowen. Mattie had a child prior to her marriage to Elijah though, Cleopatra Bowen Brewster who married Willis Jones. Add to the fact that Basheba's death certificate names her father as William and not Elijah, it made me reevaluate Anna McCurdy, the wife of Thomas Sunday.
We all know the oral history (and I am not talking about the "brother's from Scotland") that Elijah ran out on Mattie and married Barsheba Sunday who was his ward, and so they used the last name Sundike to help hide it. The history also says that Mattie and Joseph lived across from the river and that Joseph was the only child. I don't think so.
I think Anna McCurdy is a daughter of Elijah and Mattie Bowen. I think Mattie probably died before the marriage of Elijah and Barsheba/Barbara Sunday. Here's why. If you look at the 1840 census, Elijah is in Conecuh. The household appears to have some of the Sunday's in it, as there are more children than he had. Living next door to Elijah is Willis Jones. In 1838 or 39, (I did not check my records) Anna married Thomas Sunday (as Mary McCurdy). In 1850, Thomas Sunday and Anna have Joel Bowen (Mattie's father) in their home, he is 91. (In 1840 Willis Jones has a male corresponding with that age in his home). Next to their home is Willis Jones once again.
Anna and Thomas also name a daughter Cleopatra. So the fact that Nancy Bowen is living in their home in 1860 could be that Nancy is her Aunt by marriage. Or it could be that she's her Aunt. We aren't too sure, and as of yet, there is simply no way to find out.
Switching Anna for Basheba puts Elijah McCurdy's grandchildren in total I believe to 98. 28 of these grandchildren were the progeny of my ancestor, William Marion (desputed Jackson) McCurdy and his two wives, (one of whom also is a grandchild of Elijah), Amanda Beck and Florence Morris.
Although each generation as we reach the current ones does have fewer children, it still leaves a large number of descendants. The McCurdy family intermarried heavily with the Ard, Penton and Malone families, and has links to just about every large family in the Northern Escambia county region.
A group of my distant cousins and I are discussing having a reunion for the McCurdy family of Alabama (Escambia and Baldwin) and Florida (Escambia and Santa Rosa). We have formed a facebook group by the name of McCurdy Family of Alabama/Florida reunion. If you are a McCurdy of this family and are interested in joining us, please do so. We are in the very early stages, so nothing is definitive at this time, but we look forward to meeting our cousins.

"My Grandma's a full blooded Choctaw from New York"
If I said that, "my Grandma is a full blooded Choctaw from New York" every one who has any Choctaw would be up in arms. Why because no, Choctaws weren't in New York. Just like they weren't in South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, etc.
If I have a pet peeve, it's just that. With all of the wonderful things we can find now, all of the awesome digital collections, the access to data researchers had to travel to get, people just don't do proper research.
Proper research? What I mean is that, first, just trace your family. Don't worry if they were Choctaw, Cherokee, Pink or Blue, just look for them. When you have verifiable information, because genealogy without documentation is mythology, then dig for their racial history, or their culture. But look at where they are. Then research that area.
Oral history is a starting point, not the end game. What I mean is that, oral history is like that game of telephone we played as kids. Where you get a line of say 20 kids and whisper something in the first one's ear, and have them repeat it all the way down, and by the time you get to the end, the kid says what he heard, and it's nothing like what it started as. That's oral history in a nutshell. There is usually some grain of truth to it. It's not the gospel truth.
While I am on that subject, any documentation (such as an affidavit) that occurs over 100 years later isn't worth the paper it's written on. If you weren't alive when the event occurred you can only repeat what you heard (or oral history). So that means that once again, it's not the truth, and the whole truth, it's someone's version of it.
We have all had people in our lives, who retell events and we are like, that's not what happened. Well why in the heck do you think that every oral history tale can't be like that? That people can't embellish what they pass on? It's no different. To be effective as a researcher, you need to be open to doubts about what you find. You need to be able to question your research, and look at all the first and second sources. And sometimes then, you have to make a decision.
I have conflicts. So what is the truth? You have to reason and explain the conflicts. That is the truth to genealogy. It's not all first sources. It's not all black and white. But, when you get to the grey, you need to recognize it, document it, and if you theorize, then say so. And give credit to others. That's just the right thing to do.
You can find second hand accounts of Native American history. In books, in newspapers, in diaries, and sometimes in letters. Or you can find nothing. And whether that happens depends on who you are researching.
I think it's important to remember racism also. In 1910, my great great grandmother's sister lives in South Dakota (there are indians there). She is listed as a mulatto. When my grandparents moved to Los Angeles, my dark skinned black haired grandpa with his fair blond, blue eyed wife could only find housing in the mixed neighborhoods. Racism did exist. It didn't just include looking down on you because you were Indian or Black, the same thing happened if you were Chinese, Hawaiian, Italian, Irish, Catholic, Jewish, etc.
It's really important to recognize that when you research. A full blooded Indian is never going to be mistaken for white on a census. Prior to 1900 they may be called mulatto, cajun, black, but rarely indian. If you don't believe that, search for race in censuses 1850-1880. See how many you get for Native American. It's not a lot.
There are hundreds of Native American tribes in the United States. Some were extinct by the 18th century, but others thrived until the 19th century, and the idea of Manifest Destiny started taking hold in this country. You can find data on some of these lesser known tribes that are from South Carolina, or North Carolina, or New York, Ohio, etc. Don't be pigeon holed into believing you have to be a tribe because that's all you know of.

Understanding your past tells you your own story
People who don't do genealogy don't get those of us who do. They don't understand why genealogists love what they do, why we don't mind visiting dusty libraries and spooky cemeteries. Why discovery of a long lost picture or relative makes us reel with excitement.
Our history, isn't just about our DNA. The stories of the lives of our ancestor's is part of who we are. Just as things like abuse, violence, addiction and mental illness can be passed down in families, so can things like work ethics, occupations and a love for arts, education and family. Maybe something that occurred 100 years ago has no impact on our lives, but maybe it does.
The role of family has evolved and changed over the last few hundred years. In Colonial america we were nuclear families. Parental involvement and attachment to their children isn't the idea that we expect. We went from a place where only the eldest son inherited to a place where all children could inherit. Nuclear families to extended families, neglect and abuse to close knit and loving. The events of the time affected the family dynamics, just as much as today.
Immigrant families were shut off from their families and cultures, so enclaves of their culture developed where they settled. Brave souls set off for the wild, untamed lands to the west. Groups of families moved together and formed new bonds.
War tore us apart. From the American Revolution, which contrary to what we were taught, was not supported by a majority, to the Civil War, family fought against family. The support felt for whichever side was strong enough to break family bonds.
Lawlessness as a result of the wars brought a new chapter to our history. We all know of Jesse James, John Wesley Hardin, and the Younger brothers. The events of their lives formed the basis of this lifestyle, their history shaped them.
The industrial age, prohibition, all these things helped shape our families, but it is how they dealt with it, and what they did that shaped the next generation, and so on, until we come to our grandparents, and our parents and our lives.
How much education did they receive and why didn't they get more? Were they rich or poor? Were they raised by their parents, relatives, or left to fend for themselves? Did they attend the school of hard knocks? Were they in trouble with the law? Were they adored by their family?
These questions are the kinds of answers you can get from genealogy. Sometimes people ask should we share the bad stuff? Well, I don't think we should ever violate someone's privacy, but we should be true to the story as recorders of history. We just don't have to publish it when it affects someone else. I also think, that knowing that cycles of dysfunction can continue, we have the responsibility to recognize them and be honest about them. If we want to make the future better, we have to be open about the past.

More on the early Pyburn's
A time line will follow.
Most likely Lewis
and Elias are brothers. Ben Jr is probably their brother. Are they
also my Jacob's brother? And is the James whose stealing in GA a
relative?
Questionable as to
there relationship to Richard. Is he a cousin or brother tp Elias?
Benjamin and
Richard in SC in 1790 could be Benjamin Jr and Richard who was in KY
(and seems to return). I suspect this is the Benjamin who stole the
horse and not Benjamin Sr on Am Rev paperwork.
Speculate Nancy
the wife of Jacob Pyburn is a Choate which is how Austin Jr and Omi
Pyburn are cousins, explains the name of Christopher Pyburn also. Because the source of Austin Sr married to Elizabeth Naomi Pyburn has no factual information attached to it, I am seriously doubting it's accuracy. I suspect that someone years ago ran across the Eastern Cherokee Applications of the children of Edward Choate and Elizabeth Cole, which state that Austin jr and Omi Pyburn were cousins, and that he was half indian and she was full. We know she can't be full indian because none of the Pyburn's were indian, they were English/Scottish. We don't know enough on the wives of generation 2 to say if they married an Indian or not. Christopher Choate, the father of Austin Sr is supposed to have married a Cherokee woman Prudence. If this is true, then Austin Sr and his sister (by my guess, not proven) Nancy Choate are part Cherokee and so the cousins would have been equally Cherokee, not one half the other full.
These are the folks that descend from William and Mary Pyburn of Maryland.
Generation
1
John B 1686
Richard n 1686
Edward (baptisms in 1720's mean he shouldn't be son of John or Richard)
Generation
2 (males only)
Jacob (Richard) b.

Jacob (John) at

Benjamin (before
1725)

Thomas b. 1729
Joshua on list of
1757.. has to fit into the 2nd generation as a son of ?
Edward or Richard. Assume if he can sign a lease he's 21 or born
prior to 1736
The question
remains which Jacob and.or which of the cousins are the parents of
Generation 3. One cannot assume because John and Benjamin are in
Bedford that Jacob is there brother and not their cousin. We know
that his sons were of age to be executors (over 21) in 1747, so that
means that both Jacobs are likely close in age. We have Thomas showing up there by 1775 so it isn't like they were strangers.
Generation 3
Jacob born
1745-1757 goes to MS

Nancy (probably Choate) (born 1745-1760)

1754) should be brother to Lewis and Benjamin
Lewis (born before
1754) should be brother to Elias and Benjamin
Richard (?son of
Thomas) age 60-69 in 1830 I Indiana puts birth about 1761-1770
Sarah (dtr of
Jacob) m Charles Eades (born 1760 ish) (which Jacob is her father?)

Where do you find this stuff?
I hear that question a lot.
There is sometimes a vast amount of information that can be found online. Sometimes there is just nothing. It depends. Aside from Ancestry.com and Fold3.com, where is a good place to search for information?
For digital newspapers, there are paid services online, like newspaperarchives.com and genealogybank.com, but there are a lot of free papers too. Here is just a few
1. California
2. Texas
3. Florida
4. Oklahoma
5. National (not all states)
If your state isn't listed, it just means I haven't researched there. To find a newspaper digital collection, search exactly that and the state, you may be surprised what comes up.
State Archives are wonderful resources, some have added digital collections online, others have little to offer online but an index. Some of my favorite collections are, the chancery court records online for the Virginia Archives, the transcripted wills for South Carolina, the Spanish land grants for Florida, and Florida's Civil War Pensions at the Florida Archives. Tennessee and Alabama have instead partnered with ancestry.com and familysearch.com so you can find some of their collections online there instead of on their sites.
Archives.org is a great site for books, but so is this one I found. It has the collections from Archives.org plus more. It is kind of a clearing house for online books. One of the great collections here is the territorial papers of the United States. Online and viewable. I tried searching within the collections for a surname, and yes, it works.
There is of course online google searches. I caution anyone from using as gospel someone else's research. First you need to verify what they have yourself. You want to make sure that the information is accurate. If you have a theory, it's okay to share the theory, just make sure you say it's a theory, or explain yourself. Make sure you search google books. Sometimes play around with your searches, get creative. You may be surprised what you find. Like, for example, the Choctaw mission information I found on Google Books.
For published government periodicals, so far the best place, aside from here, has been genealogybank.com. Though you have to pay for it, and the search function isn't all that easy (you get way too many results sometimes), it does have publications that you find not digitalized on google. Several universities have digital collections that are including more historical works, sometimes even the collections or papers of an individual or family. With this you can find some great stuff. The best site for me is the University of Oklahoma's collection, but, unfortunately, the collection I most want to see has some problems online at the moment. The Peter Pitchlynn Collection works and should not be missed.
Fortunately, sometimes the collections will pop up when you search a name. I have found some great stuff in Mississippi, Oklahoma and Alabama at archives and universities this way.
The Bureau of Land Management's available (not all states) land patents, military bounty land grants, etc are awesome. Sometimes though, it seems like a regular search of a state doesn't give me my guy, but if I search by authority, like military bounty land, or Choctaw Scrip, then I get my answers. Don't forget to check the survey images for the township and ranges that you can access from the results. Sometimes there is some great stuff on those images. You can find the BLM site here. (Apparently with the government shut down, this isn't working because it worked two days ago).
That brings me to the big one. Familysearch.org. It's free, which is great. It has images of marriage records, which is awesome. It now has several links that send you to it's sister sites ancestry.com and fold3.com (which are owned by the Church), but there are some great collections you can browse. It takes time, patience, and a good internet connection.
Some of the great collections are, the United States Land Bureau plat books, the Draper Collection, Probate records for almost all states (though incomplete counties for some), Mississippi Various records (which includes counties in Alabama when it was Mississippi Territory). Don't miss these collections, because what you find can be invaluable.
For native american indexing of the Dawes rolls, the best site is still Accessgenealogy.com. They have other records besides native records, but they were one of the first free sites out there.
Good luck, and happy searching. .
There is sometimes a vast amount of information that can be found online. Sometimes there is just nothing. It depends. Aside from Ancestry.com and Fold3.com, where is a good place to search for information?
For digital newspapers, there are paid services online, like newspaperarchives.com and genealogybank.com, but there are a lot of free papers too. Here is just a few
1. California
2. Texas
3. Florida
4. Oklahoma
5. National (not all states)
If your state isn't listed, it just means I haven't researched there. To find a newspaper digital collection, search exactly that and the state, you may be surprised what comes up.
State Archives are wonderful resources, some have added digital collections online, others have little to offer online but an index. Some of my favorite collections are, the chancery court records online for the Virginia Archives, the transcripted wills for South Carolina, the Spanish land grants for Florida, and Florida's Civil War Pensions at the Florida Archives. Tennessee and Alabama have instead partnered with ancestry.com and familysearch.com so you can find some of their collections online there instead of on their sites.
Archives.org is a great site for books, but so is this one I found. It has the collections from Archives.org plus more. It is kind of a clearing house for online books. One of the great collections here is the territorial papers of the United States. Online and viewable. I tried searching within the collections for a surname, and yes, it works.

My Yankee's
So, my Dad always told my Mom she was a Yankee.
Well, almost, but not quite. Even though my Hager's, Rogers and Adams were from the South (first Tennessee and then Arkansas), all of these kinfolk did fight for the Union. My Choctaw kinfolk (immediate family) did not fight at all, but most all of the Choctaws were staunchly on the Confederate side. So much so that those who decided to remain loyal had to be protected.
My mom's family is strictly English on her mother's side, and a hodge podge of Indian, Scots Irish, Welsh and German on her Dad's. My mom's grandmother was the first of her family to be born in the United States. Another great grandmother's father didn't come until about 1835. And the other side has been in the United States since the 17th century. All of these folks were English, and lived in New York State. Both the Hinds and Paxtons served for the Union side.
My Hager's, while they have roots in North Carolina before Tennessee, probably originated with Hagerstown, Maryland as the same families (Hagers and Steeley's) appear in both places. Eventually, though not in many records, my Hager's worked their way across Tennessee, down through Arkansas and into Texas. Southern in roots, all of the Hager's who fought in the Civil war fought on the Union side in Arkansas.
The Rogers and George W. Adams came from Hamilton County, Tennessee (at least we think so with George Adams) and moved to Shoal Creek Arkansas. Though family legend has it they were in the Indian home guard, the only thing I found was that they fought also for the Union from Arkansas.
Interestingly enough, though again, southern in roots, neither the Rogers nor the Hagers owned slaves. Perhaps they were just too poor.
My Choctaw side were slave holders. The Riddle's, Hall's and the Trahern's all owned slaves, though after the murder of Sarah Hall's three brothers at the end of 1862, she and her husband sold all of their slaves. Even though he could have fought, James Trahern did not participate in any war what so ever.
Whenever my Dad teased my mom about being a Yankee, he meant it was because she was born in New York. He had no idea about her family. Even though my grandfather, is in all aspects a Southerner, and so was his family, the truth is, in Mom's family, everyone was a Yankee.

Southern Born and Bred
When I was a little girl my Dad would tell me my belly button was where the Yankee's shot me.
I think he used to do it to make my mom (a yankee) mad. The truth is though, my Dad is truly Southern born and bred. Born in Pensacola (me too), he is in a long list of Southerner's. To put in graphically. If you take a compass and put one point in Pensacola, and the other in Troy, Alabama, 95 percent of his family has been in that circle since before 1830. And those that weren't were by 1860.
His earliest family, the Pyburn's arrived in the Tensaw Settlement in December 1784. That's 3 years before the United States Constitution was written. They haven't traveled far, though some members have gone off to Texas and eventually California, there are still Pyburn descendants near Jay, and in Alabama. The most famous of our relatives, Jim Pyburn, the professional baseball player, died in Alabama not that many years ago. His brother was a local celebrity for his coaching also.
The McCurdy's came to Florida when Elijah McCurdy was discharged in the area in 1818. His wife's family came not long after. There are many McCurdy and Sunday descendants around Escambia County (Alabama and Florida) and it's immediate area. Sometimes I swear I am related to half the county!
Before Elijah came to Florida, Henry Franklin and a relative of mine, Josiah Brunson came to Clarke County, Mississippi Territory. In the 1820's, his son William Barnett Franklin and his son's family, the Brunson's, all came to Pike (now Crenshaw) and settled near Brantley, Alabama. By 1830, Willoughby Baker and his wife Rachel Copeland were near Troy, Alabama.
The Johnsons from South Carolina came to Conecuh about 1818. One of the daughters of my ancestor William Burton Johnson married John Diamond and moved to Santa Rosa. My branch remained near Evergreen until the late 1880's. Another Conecuh family, the Chitty's came from South Carolina to Conecuh around 1818. The Stapleton's came from South Carolina to Alabama also around that time, settling first in Baldwin before some of them move to Florida and Coffee County, Alabama.
About the same time just prior to 1820, Michael Vaughan came and settled in northern Holmes. The Vaughan's lived between that area and in Geneva County, Alabama.
Of all of the families I just mentioned, only two, the Pyburn's and the Sunday's did not come from South Carolina. The Pyburn's came from Virginia and the Sundays from Georgia. Another family with colonial Georgia roots was Sarah Owens, the daughter of John J Owens and Lucinda Long. John bought up land in Russell and the family moved there before 1830. During the Civil War, Sarah with her husband John Sanders Barnes moved near Brantley where John quickly died. As far as we know, John came from NC before Georgia.
The last family, the Hardy's came later. Gardner Hardy moved to Coffee County about 1838. He is supposed to be from Georgia. Due to some interesting facts, he went to Louisiana for a year before settling in Santa Rosa where he presumably died between 1856 and 1860. His son, William Shepard Hardy married Sally Nelson, the daughter of Leonard Nelson, who if my memory recalls was also from South Carolina.
When I stop and think that even if I go by 1850, my family has been in the same location (and many are still there) for over 160 years (and up to 229 years), I am sometimes awestruck. My mom's family (even the yankee's) has just as rich as a history, though, sometimes not quite as colorful of one, but there is something to the feeling of home I get whenever I go to Pensacola. Though, it wasn't until the 1930's that most of the family started moving into the city, it is not just where I was born, or where my Dad grew up. It's in my blood. This is home.

Thoughts, data and theories on the early Pyburns MD>VA>NC/TN
According to scholarly articles, most marriages did not take place at age 13-15 in the 18th century. Among the Quakers marriages were 25-30 and among others 20-25 on average. Women could marry younger but they didn't on the average.

So, assuming that he was 25-30 when he
married, (avg for the time) John Pyburn married 1711-1716.
His eldest son would seem to be John.
None of the boys were under 21 in 1747, so they were all born
1711-1726.
If this is the case at the time he
died, John Pyburn's sons were between 21-36 years old.

Eastern Cherokee application of Choate/Pyburn
1841 Mary Choate (Eastern Cherokee App)
grandparents Austin Choate and mother Omi Pyburn, her father was
Edward Choate and Elizabeth Cole. Born in Jackson Co, TN. Witness
said they were cousins and he was half Cherokee and she was full.
They died in Putnam County, TN. State Edward Choate born about 1817.
Read the other two files and both say Austin Choate married Omi
Pyburn.
His mother should have been born
1780-1797
Information on the Choates
1840 in Fentriss County, TN find an
Edward and an Austin Choate, both 30-39 years old (1800-1809), along
with a Thomas 30-39, Jacob and John 30-39 and a Gabriel 20-29. A
Christ (Christian?) Choate 70-79 with wife age 50-59 is in this
county.
If Austin Choate married his cousin,
Naomi (Omi) then the wife of Christian should be a Pyburn born
1780-1789 or a sibling of Naomi's mother. If this is in NC then the
most obvious choice is Jacob who is living there in 1790 and 1800.
In Fentriss 1850 find John Choate b
1805 wife Anna b 1813
Edward Choate's census says wife is
Priscilla. He's born 1799 NC. Thomas Choate born 1811
In Jackson in 1850 is the right Edward
Choate.. with dtr Mary 10. Says he is 31 born TN (born 1819) wife is
Elizabeth 27 born in TN. There is a Naomi Ramsey age 20 on same page.
I also find a Medder Shoate and wife Lucinda in Jackson, a Nancy
Shoat born 1797 with a son Jacob? Age 20.
Edward names a dtr Nancy, and Nancy is
the right age to be his mother If Nancy is a Pyburn, then we need to
see has a female her age in NC. Jacob Pyburn has one daughter 16-25
in 1800, and 4 females in his home in 1790 besides his wife.
1790 Austin Choate is in Burke over 16
(also there is Christopher Sr and Jr and Moses)
In 1790 Jacob has 5 females and Richard
has 3 females.
I don't find Austin in 1800 or 1810. To
be the mother of all of his children, the Pyburn would have to be
born prior to 1783 based on the 1850 ages of the folks who are with
Austin in 1840. His wife should be born 1780-1790 based on her age in
1840.
In 1820 Austin is in Jackson County,
Tn. He has a wife 16-25 years old (born 1795-1804) which fits with
the age of Nancy in 1850. He has a son 10-15 (couldn't be Nancy's)
and 4 sons under 10 and 3 females 10-15. Austin either has siblings
or he was married prior to Nancy.
Of the 1820 Pyburn's in Tennessee I am
perplexed. Sarah is 26-44,there is a 16-25 year old female, a female
under 10 a male 16-25, (16-18 also which is same person), and 2 males
10-15. It may be this is her son who is 18 with a wife and an infant
and two children. William Pyburn in Wayne is 16-25 with a wife and 2
daughters under 10, Christopher is over 45 with a female over 45, 2
males 16-25, 1 of them 16-18, and 3 females 16-25 and one 10-15.
In 1810, we have Edwin (Edward),
Richard and Christopher with Sarah. Sarah has a male in her home that
is also 26-44, a male 10-15, two female 10-15, and one female and 3
males under 10. I am seriously wondering if Jacob didn't remarry and
have a second younger set of children. The only other option would be
that Sarah married Benjamin after 1800 and is living with children of
Jacob.
Between 1775 and 1812 I find no records
for a Pyburn (except the petition about the state of TN). The first
Tax record is in 1812 for Christopher in Warren. (Mike found a land
record in 1802 Smith for Lewis)
The earliest land record I can find is
1825 for Christopher
In 1830 I find Jacob in Hardin age
20-29 and Susanne age 30-39. Mary Pyburn age 50-59 in marion would
seem to be the widow of Christopher. There is a Lone and a Riley both
20-29 in that county. James Pyburn in McNairy is also 20-29 and then
a James Pebourne is in Mcminn 30-39. Edward Pyburn age 40-49 is now
in Missouri as is Richard Pyburn 50-59. Aman/Amon Pyburn age 20-29
and William Pyburn 20-29 are also in Missouri.
Benjamin Pyburn and John Pyburn, 30-39
are both in Arkansas. Benjamin has 2 males 20-29 who are probably
brothers or brother in law. I find a William Pyburn with a female
50-59 in Jackson Arkansas (that's it) and another William 20-29 in
Lawrence.
I also find a Richard and a Richard Jr
in Indiana. This Richard is also 50-59.
If I were to hazard a guess, I would
think that Richard Pyburn would descend from the Richard the son of
John, who we know had a son Jacob.
It is a good question as to whether or
not the second Jacob (age 50 in 1772) is the Jacob II or did the son
of John (sr) die without Issue. The William who only shows a wife 50-59 in
1830 would seem to be the family of William Pyburn who was in Wayne
County, TN. At least the wife part.
Neither Elias or the second Benjamin
appear in records after 1777. Lewis shows up in the Louisiana
Territory in 1810, and is the father of Enos I am pretty sure. While
certainly one of these men could be the father of the Jacob in 1799
(who would be 21 by then), it seems odd that he disappears
altogether.
I read that someone found land records
for Lewis in Smith county.
If Lewis and Elias served in the
American revolution they could be young boys, but were likely
teenagers or young men, so 15-20 years from 1777 is 1757-1762.
Benjamin who served with them would probably be a brother, but could
be a father. I speculate that these three men are decendents of John
and not Richard Pyburn. It is possible that the Benjamin in SC in
1790 is the Benjamin who was a crook.
Edward Pyburn who needs a guardian in
1792 but is old enough for a land grant in 1794 (maybe Jacob was
still his agent?) was 26-44 in 1810 or born sometime between the
years 1766-1784. If he was not 21 in 1792, then he would have to be
born 1772-1784. He could not be the father in law of Austin Choate,
as his wife was born in the 1790's. This is probably Jacob Pyburn who
was living in NC.
We already know that in 1790 Jacob had
3 males over 16 in his home, at least one of them was Jacob and he
was likely already over 45 in 1790, or born 1740-1750. Based on that
information, I would speculate that he is the father of Christopher
and Richard. Edward is probably his grandson or a nephew. Jacob is
probably the same Jacob who signed consent for his daughter to marry
Charles Eades, but there is no way to rule out that the other Jacob
didn't have a daughter, except that there only seems to be one Jacob
in the records we find from 1747-1757. I can't explain the cousin
part. In order for Austin and Namcy/omi to be cousins, either their
mother's were siblings, or Austin's mother was a Pyburn. Nancy Omi
could not be full Cherokee. The Pyburn's were not indian to start
with, it has to come in through the wives.
I have no idea who the Pyburn in 1820
is in Baton Rouge. The name looks like Sims or Sens, and they kind of
seem to disappear from records after that. As for the 2nd Richard, I
have no explanation as he appears out of nowhere.
When you look at who Sarah was married
to it's another good question. Without a doubt there are members in
her household that are too old to be children. It is possible they
are siblings of Sarah or her husband. But if they are Pyburn's who is
their father?
By process of elimination there are
only four unaccounted for Pyburn men that could be Sarah's husband,
Elias from the Am revolution, Benjamin from SC, Jacob who signed the
1799 petition and James Pyburn who was running around Georgia
stealing with John Lawrence. I can find nothing on this James other
than the testimony that occurred in the Tensaw area in 1787. By 1789
John Lawrence was murdered by Creek Indians.
I see where someone has Jacob Pyburn
married to a Mary Webb and having a daughter Elizabeth Naomi who
married to a Jesse Beene. If this is true (since he's not in any
censuses), then we can scratch him off the list. I can't seem to find
him myself in a record.
Thus far we have the following list.
(theory)
Thomas Pyburn likely the father of
Joshua who is on a lease in Loudon in 1757. Possible that William in
Wayne comes from this line (but unlikely)
Richard to Jacob to ;Jacob Jr then Christopher, Richard, Nancy Omi , Sarah and ? (father of Edward?)
the First John
I am betting his Jacob had only daughters or no kids
I am betting his Jacob had only daughters or no kids
John arrested 1764 in NC for being a
rogue
Benjamin
Either of these two are the father of
the second Benjamin, Elias, Lewis, Jacob Pyburn (mine) and James
Pyburn. Possibly a second Benjamin (the one in SC). These are first
cousins most likely if not siblings.
Benjamin or Elias should be the father of the
Jacob said to be born in TN. I kind of doubt Lewis but we can't rule
him out.
My Jacob arrived in Spanish Territory
in 1784, his son Jacob was already 7 years old. I read some articles
and most men married 22-25 back then. So if that's the case my Jacob
was at least born 1750, thus I am saying he should be the same age to
be the brother of the other two.
I can't rule out his name wasn't Benjamin Jacob (mine). :It may be why the second Benjamin (who kept getting in trouble with the law) ran off. That Benjamin could also be the man in SC.
As for James in Georgia, we must assume
he was a man (sounds like it) when he was robbing in Georgia. John
Lawrence swore his oath the same day as Jacob Pyburn in December
1784, so that means that this occurrred prior to 1784. Thus James
Pyburn was born anytime 1764 prior.
As for William in Wayne.. hmm he's with
Christopher so that would seem to be a good match.
We don't know what happened to John in
1764, but if he was arrested for murder, I would guess that he may
have been hung (it's not in the colonial record book).
Thus if John had a family, it was
before 1764.
I think the average lifespan was early
60's for this time frame. When you got to 40 you were old, but old
men had kids, lol. So, I guess the big question is can we find
anything on Benjamin, John or Jacob?
The reason that I don't think there are
two Jacob's in the records is simply that the Jacob in NC seems to
descend from Richard, they use completely different names pretty
much. There is only one Jacob listed in the records, so.. kind of
would seem to have to be.
Thomas and Joshua seem to disappear
entirely from Loudon after 1773. I still don't know who the heck
Edward was who had baptisms. I guess he could be a brother to John
and Richard, but with his kids born 1722 he's not a son. Maybe Edward
who is Jacob's ward is a son of Thomas?

The Trahern Chronicles- Margaret Pauline "Bonnie" Adams
I end the blogs on the Trahern's with my great grandmother, Margaret Pauline "Bonnie" Adams.
She was the daughter of Margaret Trahern and Jason Arthur Adams and was born August 30, 1907. I find her in 1910 as Margaret with Jason and Margaret in Chant, Oklahoma. None of the family was in the census of 1920. According to my grandpa, his brother was born Nov 12, 1923. No record of a marriage to the father, who Bertha said was Eugene Tyler has been found. She did marry my great grandfather, Claude Cye Hager in 1924 in Picher, Oklahoma. Her name on the marriage certificate was Polly. In fact, the family knew her as Pauline, or called her that, and never mentioned the Margaret at all.
My grandfather, Claudus Byron Hager was born in 1925. Court records from the trial of his father show that by 1928, Claude was "courting" another woman, who found out he was still married and had nothing more to do with him. By 1930 Bonnie is found as Mrs. Pauline Hager in Hildago, Texas. My grandfather is living with Margaret and Jason. According to my grandfather, he and his brother Eugene were stealing milk bottles for food. Margaret heard about the boys, and came and got them.
Pictures generously given to me by my grandpa's cousin Marilyn show that by the mid 1930's she was using the name Bonnie and was married to a Wesley I cannot find a marriage record. In 1938 she married William Fred Meier as Bonnie Wesley. In 1940 she and Fred are living with Bertha in Tulsa. My grandpa is living with the family who he worked for in Junction, Texas, by then he is using the name Ray Mieirs.
When my grandparents married and moved to Syracuse, New York, Bonnie and Eugene stayed with them for a while. My grandparents only lived in New York from 1949 until 1952 when they moved to Los Angeles, California. At this time, Bonnie was living in I think Chicago. She would send boxes of clothes to my grandma for her granddaughter. My grandma also said she would call drunk. Those were the two things she ever said about her, she was an excellent and talented seamstress, and a drunk. My grandpa would add she slept around a lot. My mother's baby book gives her last name in 1949 as Calloway.
Around 1956 my grandfather found out that his mother had lied to him about his father his entire life. Angry he told her he never wanted to speak to her again. He did not. He did though for years try to find his brother Eugene. Rena died in 1969. Notes from Rena's hand show that the address she had in 1963 (ish) was the same one listed on her death certificate. The Belle Shores Hotel Apartments in Chicago. Sometime between 1951 and 1963 she married Harold Carl Pahl. When Rena died, Bonnie came to the funeral. After that she no longer kept in touch with her sisters or brothers, so that when her brother died in the 1970's, she isn't listed in the obituary.
Thanks to Loren we know that Bonnie died in 1983 in Chicago. I called the funeral home several years ago. There was no obituary and no next of kin listed. The informants were a Dan Oconnor and James Tyler. In 1989 a James Tyler died in Chicago. He lived at a nursing home about 2 miles from where Bonnie lived. His birth date was Nov 12, 1919 and his social security number was issued from Oklahoma. I haven't sent for a copy of the application yet. I suspect that James is Gene, and that they didn't have money for a funeral, so he said he was no relation.
Bonnie Adams Pahl was buried with her husband at Woods National Cemetery in Wisconsin. I was a junior in high school when she died. I only wish I had known her.

The Trahern Chronicles-Robert Trahern and his children
Robert Trahern's life isn't well documented. He married a Choctaw named Cornelia, whose last name was Gardner by two of four available death certificates that I have seen. He wasn't in the Choctaw Congress, and he never shows up in any records except for the Choctaw annuity roll of 1885 and 1896 roll.
I did find a case involving him in the Fort Smith Criminal cases. He was accused of assault on a white woman with whom he was having an affair. Where Cornelia was at this time is not clear. My family said he was in jail when his wife Cornelia died, but I can't find that information. We also have that he was shot over land, but the year and date of his death would have to be the death of Cornelia, because he was alive until after 1896. Since his brother Joseph dies in 1897 I wonder if they both weren't shot over a land dispute.
Cornelia to this day remains a mystery. She died not long after her youngest son, William was born. Her sister in law, Louvenia was also said to have died about this time. Perhaps there was some sort of illness that went around, but I have nothing on that either. Though I am sure the children of Cornelia knew any family they had on her side, none of her grandchildren seemed to know of any.
Most of what I know about the early life of this family comes from other researchers and family members, like Doug Barkley, Loren Adams, Bertha Geesman, and the information from Laverne Shirley. Gerrie Zhang who researches Addie's husband's family generously has supplied me with her photo and obituary.
In 1896, a census was taken in preparation for the Dawes rolls. The cards folks research were filled out in 1899. Robert Trahern is found in 1896 with all of his children except Addie who was married to Joseph Kincade. He also has his niece, Susan Daniels in his home. Likely the bulk of carrying for the younger children fell upon Margaret and her cousin Susan.
In 1899, Margaret and Susan both marry, no doubt because they had no visible support on the death of Robert, and it isn't likely that Addie's husband, now Robert Kincade (brother of Joseph), was willing to support so many folks. Czarena (Rena) married John Gormon shortly afterwards, but that marriage didn't last long.
In 1899 we find William, Martha and Loren living with Addie and Joseph, along with his children and his niece. By 1900, Martha and William are living with Margaret and her husband, Jason Adams. Most likely because this is the same time that Addie has had the twin girls, but by 1901 both have died, and then Joseph and his son follow soon after. Initially I find Addie was the guardian for William as required by law, but eventually that was taken over by someone else. After Martha marries, she petitioned the court to have the guardian changed to her brother in law, the fourth husband of Addie, Ed Bishop. Addie had married in Atoka in 1904, but by 1909 was married to Ed.
Joseph Cox (not the Choctaw one), an uncle of Robert's daughter, tried to get control over Robert's estate and to cut Addie out of it altogether. The odd thing is, Robert didn't own land prior to his death and was ineligible for an allotment because of when he died, there was no estate to be had except for personal effects, farm equipment and the like.
Martha married Will Schuster (a cousin of the Schuster who married into Louis' family) in 1904. Rena by 1910 had moved to South Dakota where she married John Sidney Whitt, her race on the 1910 census was listed as mulatto and not Native American. Rena's daughter Mary Irene was born later that year. By 1917, John Sidney Whitt has remarried in Colorado, and as far as I can tell, he never looked back or took care of his daughter by Rena. I did find her land allotment advertised for sale, but cannot find a record for her death, which occured by 1920.
In 1920 we can't find Margaret or Jason Adams at all. This is the same time frame in which the family lost their land due to the mortgage that Jason had taken out on Margaret's allotment. We know that the family lived near Short Mountain before ending up in Barnsdall around 1925. Addie has married a Jim Choate (which also didn't last) and is found living in Pittsburg county with her nieces, Mary Irene and Anna Mae. Addie never had more children.
I spoke to David, Mary's son several years ago. The girls adored their Aunt, and were close to her throughout her life. Addie ensured that they went to school, Mary attended college out of state and became a school teacher. Anna remained in Oklahoma where she married at least twice. David is the only child of Mary Irene, and Anna Mae had no children.
Loren Trahern married a woman named Jennie and died shortly afterwards. About a decade ago there was an Oklahoma court database online that showed that Jenny had signed her rights in Loren's land to Margaret Adams. I am sure Jason squandered this land as well.
William Trahern kind of bounced around quite a bit. He was supposed to have gotten in trouble over boot legging like his brother in law Jason Adams. It is rumored he had at least one illegitimate son along with the four he had with his wife, Lou. When he did settle down he lived near Latimer, Oklahoma. Two of William's children don't have descendants, but I am in contact with a few of the descendants of one of his daughters.
Martha lived in Chant, the same place Margaret lived before she lost her land allotment. She and Will Schuster had two daughters. I was able to talk to the widow of her grandson several years ago.
Margaret and Jason Adams had a large family. Their first three children received land allotments. Unfortunately, Jason was arrested for boot legging and according to family legend, a crooked judge forced him to sign over their lands in exchange for his bond. My great grandmother was the eldest daughter and the first child born after statehood, thus she was ineligible for enrollment to the Choctaw nation. She was followed by four sisters and a brother, but sadly, the youngest son and daughter died young.
From Leflore County, Margaret and Jason Adams moved to Barnsdall, Oklahoma where they lived until Jason's death in 1930. I am not sure exactly where Margaret lived after that. She raised her grandsons, Eugene, Claudus and Ernest intermittedly. By 1940 she is living with her brother, William Trahern. Later, she moves to Tulsa where she lived with her daughter Rena. She died in Tulsa in 1955.
I did find a case involving him in the Fort Smith Criminal cases. He was accused of assault on a white woman with whom he was having an affair. Where Cornelia was at this time is not clear. My family said he was in jail when his wife Cornelia died, but I can't find that information.

I did find her land allotment advertised for sale, but cannot find a record for her death, which occured by 1920.
In 1920 we can't find Margaret or Jason Adams at all. This is the same time frame in which the family lost their land due to the mortgage that Jason had taken out on Margaret's allotment. We know that the family lived near Short Mountain before ending up in Barnsdall around 1925. Addie has married a Jim Choate (which also didn't last) and is found living in Pittsburg county with her nieces, Mary Irene and Anna Mae. Addie never had more children.
I spoke to David, Mary's son several years ago. The girls adored their Aunt, and were close to her throughout her life. Addie ensured that they went to school, Mary attended college out of state and became a school teacher. Anna remained in Oklahoma where she married at least twice. David is the only child of Mary Irene, and Anna Mae had no children.
Loren Trahern married a woman named Jennie and died shortly afterwards. About a decade ago there was an Oklahoma court database online that showed that Jenny had signed her rights in Loren's land to Margaret Adams. I am sure Jason squandered this land as well.
William Trahern kind of bounced around quite a bit. He was supposed to have gotten in trouble over boot legging like his brother in law Jason Adams. It is rumored he had at least one illegitimate son along with the four he had with his wife, Lou. When he did settle down he lived near Latimer, Oklahoma. Two of William's children don't have descendants, but I am in contact with a few of the descendants of one of his daughters.
Martha lived in Chant, the same place Margaret lived before she lost her land allotment. She and Will Schuster had two daughters. I was able to talk to the widow of her grandson several years ago.
Margaret and Jason Adams had a large family. Their first three children received land allotments. Unfortunately, Jason was arrested for boot legging and according to family legend, a crooked judge forced him to sign over their lands in exchange for his bond. My great grandmother was the eldest daughter and the first child born after statehood, thus she was ineligible for enrollment to the Choctaw nation. She was followed by four sisters and a brother, but sadly, the youngest son and daughter died young.
From Leflore County, Margaret and Jason Adams moved to Barnsdall, Oklahoma where they lived until Jason's death in 1930. I am not sure exactly where Margaret lived after that. She raised her grandsons, Eugene, Claudus and Ernest intermittedly. By 1940 she is living with her brother, William Trahern. Later, she moves to Tulsa where she lived with her daughter Rena. She died in Tulsa in 1955.
The Trahern Chronicles- William Trahern
I must admit, I form opinions on folks I research. That said, William Trahern is among the list of folks I just don't like very much. Information from Charles Brashears shows that when James Trahern couldn't or wouldn't assist in Zadoc Brashear's daughter's case in Spanish Court, William Trahern stepped forward and said he had studied law in Virginia. Thus we know that at least by 1818 he was a resident in Mississippi.
His son, William Eustace Trahern wrote an autobiography, and years ago, I was very generously sent a copy by a descendant. In the work, he mentions his father was present at the fire in Richmond in 1810. So we know that William was not in Mississippi as early as his brothers. In 1826 an Ann Trahern signs with William on his bond as executor of Wesley's estate. This is probably a wife. I also found in the estate records of Alexander Hamilton, son of Molly McDonald, that he was an executor of that state.
Thus when he was nominated as the person in charge of allocating Choctaw orphan lands by the United States government, he has already shown he was familiar with some of the Choctaws, largely through his brother's and their wives. It does appear he has his nephews in his home, as mentioned in the information on James N. Trahern's blog, in 1830, but the location of his nieces is a mystery. By 1831, he has shipped his nephews back to the Choctaw Academy, and joins with the brother of Joseph R. Plummer in a land company along with several others.
Testimonies on the activities of this company are in the American State Papers volume 7. It not only mentions he was a member, but that the company had specifically received the land of Wesley's orphaned children and of Peggy. Though he is shown to be a large land owner, William's land actually in right, was the property of Wesley's children, as executor he just kind of "took it over" and never gave it back. He also was the sole beneficiary of James Trahern's estate, though I suspect, in good faith, James may have expected, or gotten a verbal agreement from William that he would care for his sons by Peggy, James and Jerry. It does not appear however, that William ever did take care of his nieces and nephews, but instead profited off of them.
While he may have discharged his duties to other orphans well, he was not a good business man. By his death in 1839, he was about 40,000 dollars in debt according to his son. When he died, the plantation, and it's crops were seized by creditors. His wife was forced to stay with a relative and she tried unsuccessfully to get the crops back to sale. Their isn't that much more in his estate records unfortunately.
In 1834 in Hinds County, we find William marrying Lucy Lee. I suspect this is the Lucy Lee that is connected to the Brocus family. She must die though because in 1835 he marries Maria B Trahern, the daughter of Jesse Trahern of Loudon County, VA (he had moved to Natchez).
William and Mariah had two sons, William Eustace Trahern and James Trahern. After William's death in 1839, Mariah eventually moves to Little Rock, Arkansas where she remarried. William Eustace Trahern returned home to see his Aunt and enlisted in the Civil War. After the Civil War he moved to Virginia, where eventually his brother joined him. I have found notices of an art exhibit of William Eustace Trahern, which along with his autobiography gives us a pretty good idea of his life.
