| 61 | I remember reading the diary of my grandmother's about when my mom was born. "The sun was shining and I was in the field chopping cotton when the sickness came on me and I took the wagon back to the house about lunch time. After Florence was born, I rested a little and then had supper on the table by the time Lay came in from the bottoms." She married Noble W Beall on July 25, 1942 and just before Larry was born. they bought a house across the street from the city clock. They had 3 children, Rhonda Jane, Larry Noble, and Kenneth Aubrey Beall. She was killed in an automobile accident on the 19th of August, 1959. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lay and Nannie Jones. She is survived by sisters, Aline Greeson, Josephine Whithead, Sybil Ortwein, Totsie Cambron, and Doris Sheppard. Brothers-Clifford Jones, Charlie Jones, and Edward Jones. | Jones, Florence Louise (I25014)

| 62 | If Michael Yoakum is the father of Solomon, and this Solomon is "our" Solomon (b. 1773, moved to Missouri), then he may well have had other children prior to those listed. Jacob "James" (father of Levi or Jacob Levi) and his brothers (Solomon, Jesse, and Mike) are mentioned in several anecdotal accounts and county histories as being early settlers in SW Missouri and NW Arkansas. Little is certain of the early settlers, however there is sufficient proof of Solomon's presence in the 1820s. One account lists a Jacob Yoakum being sent from North Carolina to accompany Indians being moved west. That Michael and his family lived in "North Carolina territory" early on may hint at a connection. Very little of the lore presented in these historical accounts has ever been substantiated with any kind of documentation. Greene, Jefferson, and Knox locations are all the same (county boundaries changed over time). He lived between 1762 and 1784 in Peaks of Otter or Little Otter Creek, Bedford County, Virginia. He lived between 1762 and 1784 in Bedford County, Virginia, (See Mike Sizer notes).16 He lived between 1785 and 1791 in Upper French Broad River, Greene County, North Carolina Terr. (Greene Co. Tenn.). He lived between 1791 and 1797 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. He lived in 1799 in Knox County, Tennessee. Michael & his wife, Anne, had a fairly contentious relationship with a major multi-year lawsuit (1778-1784) brought by Michael's wife starting in 1778 and ending over six years later, after numerous court hearings, with a Dismissed Complaint. The complaint filed in Bedford County in October 1778 by Anne (Boyles) Yoacum against her husband Michael, recites that Michael had been living with and had two children with another woman, who was not identified, nor are the children known. Bedford Co, VA Court records: Oct. 26, 1778: Yocum vs. Yocum: "Upon the mo[tion] of the Deft [defendant] by his atto[rney] Leave is Granted him to take the Depos[ition] of George Miller giving the sd.

It now seems that Michael and his wife have settled on the upper French Broad River. Also living there were Frederick Mayberry (who migrated from Peaks of Otter area, Virginia) and Jacob Smelser. 1792-1979: In 1792 Greene County became Jefferson County and also Knox County. In 1797 Cocke County was formed (earlier called Hancock County) So for a period of fourteen years, Michael, Frederick Mayberry, Jacob Smelser and Solomon Yoaham were all living in the same area together. Many court records are listed in Jefferson County for these men. 1799: On the Knox County Tax List appear Jacob Yocum, Michael Yocum, and Solomon Yocum. | Yoakum, Michael (I3943)

| 63 | In 1786, Richard Castleberry along with wife Anna, brother-in-law Samuel Newman [husband of Eve Castleberry], and Peter Castleberry, are shown as charter members of the Long Creek Church of Christ, on Long creek of the Ogeechee River, in what is now Warren Co, Georgia. Richard was received by baptism, as was his wife Ann. His brother John and wife Mary Ann were also in the first roll of members kept from 1786 to 1799, as wellas John Castleberry' sons, Jeremiah and John, and Petter Castleberry, his brother David's son from North Carolina. In addition, a John Trice and John Trice, Jr. were members of the church, undoubtedly relatives of Richard's wife Anna. Among the female members from that time period besides Anna and mary Ann Castleberry, were a Mourning Castleberry, Mary Castleberry, believed to be the wife of Jeremiah, Eva Newman, Catherine, the wife of Peter, and a Sarah and Frances Trice. A Mourning Castleberry is shown as baptized (not infant) on the 1786-1799 roster, not sure whose daughter she would have been. Some of the minutes of the church are given her to show that all was not in complete harmony at all times. "Richard Castleberry was cited for fighting and drinking, but later forgiven. Jan. 19, 1793, Peter Castleberry, Thomas Jones, Richard Castleberry charged with fighting. February 6, 1793, Richard Castleberry charged with fighting. June 16, 1797, Richard Castleberry informed church he had struck a man in anger. July 15, 1797, Richard Castleberry charged with drinking too much and threatening to kick a man." Two months later, Richard asked and received a letter for dismissal for himself and his wife. You can see Richard was not a man to cross. | Castleberry, Richard (I4599)

| 69 | Information from Hoover Descendant Dwight Needens - "John's great-great-granddaughter, the late Elsie (Hoover) Workman Grisham, told me during one of my many visits to her home, in 1972, that she and other descendants had the marker put up for John's grave and they had guessed at the year of birth and death as there were no records to verify and anyone living when he had died had long since passed away. It was certain that his first name was John, but the middle name, "William", was also a guess. To date, I have never found any record where he had a middle initial although the transcription of the indexing of his name, for his marriage record, shows his name indexed as "John H. Hoover" but as you can see, on the attached scan of his actual marriage record, there is no middle initial listed. None of his seven siblings had any middle names or were ever listed with any middle initials on any records I have found for them, so it's my conclusion that John did not have a middle name or initial either and that the "William" that was added to his tombstone was merely a guess or speculation." John & Nancy's marriage record. Entry or license number 609. Record number 544 shows that Mary Sutton & Charles Lewen were married JUL-28-1798, also in Greene County, by Daniel Kennedy who also performed the marriage of Samuel Sutton & Sarah Hice on FEB-11-1800 (Marriage Record Number 651). John & Nancy named their first son, Matthias, after John's father. Their second son was named Samuel. I strongly suspect that the Samuel Sutton who married Sarah Hice was a brother of Nancy Sutton, and that Mary was their sister. Ancestry.com shows that Samuel Sutton named one of his sons "Jacob Hoover Sutton". | Hoover, John (I27585)

| 70 | It was said that "Frank Barnes was a sheriff and a very mean and bigoted law and order man where blacks were considered, but he had a very soft side when it came to his horse. It was said that he always rode a big, white horse, and that when he died, the horse came and stood with his head through the window all during his final hours. Also, Benjamin Franklin Wolfe (son of Phillip Zadock Wolfe) said that Barnes had said something to the effect that no one should harm a hair on that horse's head, and that he should be buried close by when he died and not just hauled off somewhere-maybe even have him stuffed." From Rebecca DeArmond-Huskey included the following stories in her book, Bartholomew's Song: A Bayou History, about the infamous Sheriff Frank Barnes. Y. W. Etheridge told a story about Barnes in 1959, saying the incident took place in 1896 or 1897, "Frank Barnes rode his mule into town, got more to drink than he needed and was running up and down the street 'popping off' both with his gun and his mouth." Ermestine (Nobles) Sprinkle said, "Frank Allen Barnes was the town marshall when he was young. He rode to town everyday on a gray mule. He drank all the time, and when whiskey was no longer legal, he drank antiseptic. He was the biggest liar in the country. [294] I think when he was marshal he killed a man, an escaped murderer. He shot at my grandfather one time and the bullet went through his hat." Mary (Morris) Foster [Claude Lorenzo Foster's wife] remembered him, "He rode a white donkey and was always singing and drunk." The kids were scared of him." Mark Hawkins said, "He had a long white beard and rode a white mule. He hid whiskey all along his route." His nephew, John Sumner Barnes said, "His white horse was named Cal. One time he rode to Monticello and started playing Santa Claus with the children on the square and it was the middle of July. Another time he caught a black boy stealing his apples. He made him get in the tree and eat apples until he got sick." Frank Barnes had a peculiar way of teaching a lesson. Charles Sidney Gibson remembered this tale that was told to him by a Mr. Hicks. "He knew a Negro was stealing his chickens, and one day one rode by with two live chickens hanging off the saddle. Mr. Barnes said, 'You like chicken, do you?' 'Yes sir,' the man replied. 'Well you go ahead and eat them now,' said Barnes. 'But they ain't picked; they ain't cooked,' retorted the Negro. Barnes made him eat those chickens - feathers, guts, feet and beak!" Beth Thurman heard a story about the white-gray donkey-mule-horse named Cal. " When Frank Barnes was dying, the horse came and stood with his head through the man's window all during his final hours." [295] | Barnes, Frank Allen Sr (I6766)
