BOGLE, HERNDON
Our family history states that my gr gr grandmother, Sarah
Amirah BOGLE Herndon, was the oldest daughter of William R. Bogle and Julia
Elytte JONES. Our research has identified many sources which verifies this
including: Sarah's tombstone, Cannon County marriage records, her husband's
obituary, Cannon deed records, and great similarity in the names of Sarah and
her children with W R Bogle family, e g, Sarah Amirah is named after her
grandmothers, Sarah Witherspoon and Amiah Fugua. We have DNA test results for a
known descendant of Nancy Malinda BOGLE, daughter of W R Bogle, and Sarah
Amirah BOGLE Herndon. The results are a total match in all aspects. The biggest
mistake to overcome has been the listing of Sarah Amirah as Amos on the 1850
census for W. R. Bogle household even though the person is listed as a female
and 8 years old (born in 1842 same as Sarah). No other evidence that an Amos
existed has ever been found. We would be happy to share details for our
research.

getting a better copy. My COMER relatives used to run the store years ago with

CUMMINGS, WEST, ALLEN (ALDEN,ALDERN)
William
CUMMINGS was born in 1824 (1814 by some accounts), I believe, in Warren Co. In
1845 he married Manerva (ALDEN*) in Cannon Co. The couple appear with their children
in the 1850 and the 1860 census reports in Warren Co. An early 1870s Cannon
court document places them in Indian Territory. I am searching for William's
ancestral lines. I have seen one account that a Benjamin CUMMINGS had a son
born in the 1824 range, but found no follow-up. I am also looking for info on
their descendants.
*Manerva (ALDEN,ALDERN) 's maiden name was WEST. In the early 1840s she married
Samuel ALLEN. I have not seen the original record of her 1845 marriage to
William CUMMINGS, but printed accounts record her family name at the time of
the marriage as ALDEN or ALDERN. It should be ALLEN.

Looking
for parentage and siblings of my g-g-gf John Quincy WEATHERFORD (b. GA 1808; d
TX 1870) who was Cannon County TN Circuit Court Clerk 1844 - 1852. He fathered
six children with Elizabeth H Williams (b. TN 1820; d Cannon Co 1855 - 1859)
and two more children with Martha J Woodson (b TN 1828-1830; d. 1898) in 1859

He and Martha and all but two eldest children migrated to Ellis Co, TX"
shortly after the Civil War". Sadly, tho, he died there in 1870. Martha
finished rearing the children and paid off the home, never remarrying.

COOPER, HOGG, ROGERS
Seeking
info regarding the family of Christopher COOPER and Permelia HOGG who migrated

Cannon Co. I descend from their son, John M. COOPER who married Drupina (Piney)

WEST, LANCE, COOPER, HEATON
Per
query posted April 19, 2006 by JSanders...I am searching for any information
concerning the location of the [Warren Co.] Ivy Bluff Church of Christ church
records. These records may contain listings of members as well as mention of
death of Anderson WEST, who died [and left a will] in 1847 in Cannon County,
TN. His wife was Martha LANCE, daughter of Henry LANCE and Mary HEATON. Note
that Martha LANCE West died in 1863, not on August 20, 1862. That date has been
incorrectly attributed as the death date of Martha when it was confused with
the date of birth of her granddaughter Sarah Pandora WEST ROBERTS who was born
20 Aug 1862 (one souce says 1861) in Cannon County, daughter of John Anderson
WEST and Rachel COOPER.
