Philadelphia and Sumner County, Tennessee→New Jersey

1. G4 · 2nd-great-grandparents James Harris Timberman Sr.  ⚭  Louise Emma Harbauer born 4 June 1858 in longhand, Salem Co., NJ – 3 Jun 1919 Wilkes-Barre, PA · she 1863–1934. He was a Veterinary Surgeon, a trade the index does not carry and only the image gives S93. ⚠️ The tree carried 4 Jan 1858; the certificate's line 6 is written out in words — June / Fourth / 1858 — and its age-at-death field (60y 11m 30d against 3 Jun 1919) agrees, so the January date is wrong. Parents CONFIRMED by the same PA death certificate S93: father John H. Timberman (b.~1826), mother Rebecca Anna Harris (b.~1823). James's middle name "Harris" = mother's maiden name. The 1860 census places the family at Salem, Salem County, NJ S94. ⚠️ John H. Timberman's parents NOT FOUND — absent from 1850 NJ census index. Louise M. Timberman b.10 Apr 1917 Orange NJ confirmed in NJ Birth Index S99. A third source now backs June: the 1900 census of Wilkes-Barre S139 records him as born June 1858, age 41 at the 1 June 1900 census date — right for 4 June and wrong for 4 January — and already working as a Veterinary Surgeon, nineteen years before the certificate says the same. The same sheet gives the marriage at 14 years (1886), Louise Emma Harbauer born June 1863 in Pennsylvania of German parents, and three children born, three living. Confirmed

   1. G5 · 3rd-great-grandparents · new, 18 September 2026 Peter Hines Martin  ⚭  Jane Bell (Martin) His father: John Martin Probable confirm or correct → S105 He b. 4 November 1793, Virginia – d. 4 July 1849, Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee S105; they married 2 July 1818, Davidson County, Tennessee S106. This generation came off a pencilled box on Earl's grandfather's own pedigree chart — two bare names, PETER H MARTIN · Nov 4, 1793 and JANE BELL S103 — and then resolved into a recorded family. The "H" is Hines. He is enumerated at Gallatin in 1820, on the 1824 Tennessee tax list and in the 1830 census S174, and a Sumner County probate opens on his death in 1849 S107 — his will, written in his own hand four days before he died, is now read S172. His own grave names his parents, John and Sarah Martin Probable confirm or correct → — Find a Grave, not yet traced to an original. 🔑 Joseph is named by his father. The 1850 census puts Joseph, 18, in the widow's household the year after Peter died S98, which was strong but was not a document naming him a son. Peter's own will, 30 June 1849 S172, gives "To Joseph D Martin … a light bay filly now two years old" inside the passage disposing of the estate for the benefit of my children, beside David B. Martin and right after Robert B. Martin is told to account to the other children. The Probable comes off. ⚠ The caveat stays: the will never writes the word son beside any name — the filiation is carried by the structure of the bequest, not by a kinship term. 🔑 Updated 22 September 2026 — five records read, and the marriage is now on the county register. The 1818 MARRIAGE RECORD itself S162 carries the entry the Dodd compiled index was made from: "Martin, Peter H. — To — Jane Bell. Issued July 2d 1818 … I solemnized the rite of matrimony … on the 2d day of July 1818. Wm. Hume, V.D.M." Licence and wedding fell on the same day, and the officiant — Rev. WILLIAM HUME, V.D.M., a Presbyterian minister — is named for the first time. The date does not move; S162 is cited ahead of S106, and S106's "a transcription, not the county record" caveat comes off. 🔑 PETER HINES MARTIN WAS A MANUFACTURER, NOT A FARMER. The 1820 census of the town of Gallatin S163, enumerated 7 August 1820, gives his household "Persons engaged in Manufactures: 4" — four hands in a Gallatin workshop, the earliest occupational fact this research holds for him. The same tally shows a free white female under 10: an earlier child, never named, consistent with the 1818 marriage and a decade before David, Joseph, Martha and Louisa. A tally is not a name. 🔑 And the trade has a name: he kept a SHOE STORE. His will S172 disposes of "The Shoe Store … to the Crutchers & R. B. Martin, and the latter allowed to retain the use of the Capital I put in", and separately orders "My Town property to be Sold at a Credit for the benefit of my Children." Four hands in manufactures in 1820 and a store with his capital still in it in 1849 is one trade across thirty years — and David, 19, "Clerk" in the 1850 household S98 was clerking in his father's store. 🔑 The 1830 household was fifteen people S174 — thirteen of them under twenty, in a household formed in July 1818. Two boys of 15–20 and two of 10–15 cannot be Peter and Jane's children; apprentices and journeymen boarding with the shoemaker is the natural reading, stated as a hypothesis — the schedule says nothing. ⚠ That sheet is neutral on Jane's birth year: one female 30–40 contains both candidate years, and it is not cited for either. ⚠ Its enslaved-persons columns were not on the served image; Ancestry's ten for 1830 is an index of a leaf not read, and is not stated here as read. 🔑 By 1840 the household was twelve people. The 1840 schedule S164 gives six sons born roughly 1821–1835 — the two aged 5–9 land exactly on David and Joseph — eight persons employed in agriculture and ten enslaved people, against one enslaved person in 1820. Recorded plainly, because the page records it. Only two of the six sons are named anywhere in this research. 🔑 Joseph is in the widow's house a SECOND time. The 1860 census of District 12 S161 puts Jo. D. Martin, 27, Farmer under Jane's roof, six years before he married Nannie Chenault, with the estate — $9,240 real and $11,840 personal, in her own name — braced down the household's three lines. On its own it did not upgrade the link. A census names a household, not a parentage, and neither sheet says "son". What the two enumerations could not do, the will has done S172 — and the two sheets now read as what they always were, the household of a named son of the house. 🔴 JANE BELL WAS BORN IN TENNESSEE, NOT VIRGINIA. Both the 1850 S98 and the 1860 S161 schedules write Tennessee on her own line, in two enumerators' hands ten years apart — and on the 1850 sheet hers is the only birthplace filled on the household's seven lines. Nothing read in this research gives Virginia for her. The Ancestry tree's Virginia is her husband's birthplace S105, copied sideways. ⚠ Her birth YEAR is UNSETTLED and a row stands in the review queue. 1850 says 56 (born 1793–94) and 1860 says 62 (born 1797–98) — ten years apart the ages advance six, and they cannot both be right. The 1818 marriage favours the earlier year, the 1820 tally puts her in 16–25 and leans later, and 1840 is neutral. No record read gives a month or a day. 🔑 She ran the farm. Farmer stands in her own occupation column on both schedules, with $6,000 of real estate in her own name in 1850 and better than $21,000 in 1860. 🔑 WILLIAM BELL, 65, WAS HER BROTHER — in her husband's own words. Aged 65 in 1850 S98 he was born about 1785, nine years before Jane, and the arithmetic had already withdrawn the father reading and left brother or uncle open. Peter's will closes it S172: "To Mr. Wm Bell I leave a house and a support with his Sister as long as he Shall choose to accept it." Brother, stated in the document — and it is the reason he is under her roof in 1850: Peter provided for it. ⚠ Abram Martin, 65, born NORTH CAROLINA, stands two dwellings from Jane in 1860 and two doors from her in 1850, with $10,000 real and $11,950 personal. A brother of Peter is a hypothesis and is recorded as one: Peter was born 1793 and Abram about 1795, and Peter's grave names his own father John, the name Abram gave a son — but Peter was born in Virginia and Abram in North Carolina, and that is a real obstacle. Captured, not researched, not added. ⚠ Jane Bell of this generation is NOT the Jane Bell of Earl's great-grandparents (c.1879–1955, Texas, wife of William Leonard Proeger Sr). Two different women, four generations apart — see her own card. 🔑 Two more sons, PROBABLE: Robert B. Martin and David B. Martin Probable confirm or correct → — both named in Peter's 1849 will in the gift for the benefit of my children S172; Robert B. had a $370 advance to account for and a share in the shoe store. ⚠ The will does not write son; a census household or a guardianship or estate record naming them as his sons would confirm it. Dates offered by other users' trees are not used. Confirmed Link to Joseph: named in his father's will
   2. G4 · and on the Martin side Joseph Daniel Martin  ⚭  Nannie Chenault 1832–1899 · she 26 Jan 1844 – 14 Apr 1915 S208 · m. 10 Jan 1866, Sumner Co., Tennessee S95. Marriage record CONFIRMS maiden name Chenault. Nannie's parents: David Chenault (b.~1800, Kentucky) + Louisa Quishinberry (b.~1811, Kentucky, m. 25 Oct 1827, Madison Co., KY) S96S97. 1850 census shows the full Chenault household in Sumner Co., TN with Nancy age 6 S97. Joseph's parents are Peter Hines Martin (1793–1849) and Jane Bell — his father's own will of 30 June 1849 names him in the children's division S172 (the word son is not written; the structure of the bequest carries it) — she is the widow heading the 1850 census household in Sumner Co., TN, aged 56 S98, and her maiden name comes from her 1818 marriage record S106 and from William Bell, aged 65, living under her roof in that same 1850 household S98 — her brother, in the will's words S172. Their son John Chenault Martin carries his mother's maiden name. Confirmed
   3. G3 · great-grandparents James Harris Timberman Jr.  ⚭  Nancy Louise Martin b. 23 Oct 1886 Philadelphia – d. 24 Jan 1919 Guernsey Co., Ohio · she 5 Nov 1878 Gallatin, Tennessee – 17 May 1967 Pasadena, Harris Co., Texas S262 · licensed 15 June 1915, married the 17th S29. The 1915 marriage book gives only "J. H. Timberman, Jr.", but the full name "James Harris Timberman Jr." is written in his own hand on his 1917 draft card S80, and his Ohio death certificate carries the birth date, the death and both parents S79. Only the Philadelphia birthplace is draft-card-only and stays Probable — the certificate says just "Pa." Confirmed
3. G2 · grandmother Louise Martin Timberman 10 Apr 1917 Orange, Essex Co., New Jersey – 20 Jan 2008 Deltona, Florida · m. Robert William Coffman, 8 June 1939 S25S26. Confirmed

The "Martin" puzzle, closed. Nancy Louise Martin → her daughter Louise Martin Timberman → her daughter Nancy Martin Coffman. A given name and a maiden surname handed down alternately across three generations. The 1930 Gallatin household proves the maiden name from a record rather than a tree, and corroborates the Chenault connection one generation up at the same time S27. Updated 17 September 2026: the Timberman chain above James Harris is now Confirmed — the PA death certificate names John H. Timberman and Rebecca Anna Harris as his parents S93 — and the Martin/Chenault line is Confirmed by the 1866 TN marriage record and the 1850 censuses of both families.

Jane Bell (Martin)

TennesseeConfirmed

3rd-great-grandmother · Sumner County, Tennessee

⚠ NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Jane Bell (c.1879–1955, Texas), Earl's great-grandmother and the wife of William Leonard Proeger Sr. Two different women, four generations apart, with the same name. This is the 3rd-great-grandmother, wife of Peter Hines Martin of Sumner County, Tennessee.

• 🔑 Born TENNESSEE — written on her own line by two enumerators ten years apart S98 S161, and on the 1850 sheet hers is the only birthplace filled on the household's seven lines. The Ancestry tree is now corrected to Tennessee (22 September 2026), on these two schedules S98 S161. Nothing read in this research gives Virginia for her; that was her husband's birthplace S105, copied across to her.
• ⚠ Birth year UNSETTLED — c.1794 or c.1797–98. The 1850 census gives her age as 56 (born 1793–94) S98; the 1860 census gives 62 (born 1797–98) S161. Ten years apart the ages advance only six, and they cannot both be right. The 1818 marriage favours the earlier year — a bride of about 24 rather than 20 S162; the 1820 tally puts her in the 16–25 bracket and leans later S163; the 1840 bracket, 40–49, contains both and is neutral S164. No record read gives a month or a day. A row stands in the research review queue.
• Married Peter Hines Martin (1793–1849) on 2 July 1818. 🔑 The county MARRIAGE REGISTER has now been read S162: the licence issued and the rite solemnized the same day, certified by Rev. William Hume, V.D.M. — the officiant named for the first time. It is the record behind the Dodd compiled index S106.
• 🔑 She ran the farm as a widow, in her own name. Farmer stands in her own occupation column on both schedules: $6,000 of real estate in 1850 S98, and $9,240 real with $11,840 personal — better than $21,000 — in 1860 S161, in a household of three.
• Widowed 4 July 1849 at Gallatin, Sumner County S105; still heading her own household in District 12, Sumner County at the 16 June 1860 enumeration S161.
• 🔑 Her son Joseph Daniel Martin is named in his father's will S172 — "To Joseph D Martin I give unto a light bay filly now two years old", inside the passage disposing of the estate for the benefit of my children. He is in her household in 1850 at 18 S98 and again in 1860 at 27, by then a farmer in his own right S161. A census names a household, not a parentage, and neither sheet says "son" — and neither does the will: the filiation is carried by the structure of the bequest. The Probable comes off on the document; the caveat stays.
• ⚠ The family was larger than the record names. The 1820 tally shows a daughter under 10, never named S163; the 1840 sheet shows six sons born roughly 1821–1835, of whom only David and Joseph are named anywhere S164. Tallies, not names.
• 🔑 William Bell, 65, under her roof in 1850 S98 was her BROTHER — her husband's will S172 leaves "Mr. Wm Bell … a house and a support with his Sister as long as he Shall choose to accept it." Born about 1785, nine years older than Jane; the arithmetic had withdrawn the father reading and the will names the relationship. It is also why he is in her house: Peter provided for it.
• ⚠ The 1830 census S174 puts one female aged 30–40 in the household and settles nothing about her birth year — the bracket contains both c.1794 and c.1797–98. It is not cited for either.

James Harris Timberman Sr.

New JerseyConfirmed

Louise's grandfather · 1858–1919

• He is the father of James Harris Timberman Jr., and the two men are easy to confuse: the son is 1886–1919 and died in Ohio; this man is 1858–1919 and died in Pennsylvania. They died four months apart in the same year. The son's 1919 Ohio death certificate names him as "J. H. Timberman Sr", born New Jersey, which is what ties the two records to each other S79
• Born June 1858 Confirmed — and settled across three independent sources. The tree carried 4 January 1858 and was wrong. His 1919 Pennsylvania death certificate writes line 6 out in words — June / Fourth / 1858 — and its age-at-death field, 60 yrs 11 mos 30 ds against a death of 3 June 1919, agrees with itself S93. The 1900 census of Wilkes-Barre, taken nineteen years earlier while he was alive, records him as born June 1858 and gives age 41 at the 1 June 1900 census date — right for the fourth of June, and wrong for the fourth of January S139. The 1860 census has him at 2 years old at Salem, New Jersey, which agrees again S94
• The day, 4 June, is now settled. The Upper Alloways Creek township return of births, made on 15 July 1858, gives June 4 1858 at Allowaystown and names his parents John Timberman & Rebecca, his father a carpenter S374; added 24 September 2026.
• A Veterinary Surgeon Confirmed — and the trade is recorded twice, nineteen years apart: on the 1900 census as his occupation at 41 S139, and again on line 8a of the 1919 death certificate S93. ⚠️ On both records the occupation exists only in the image — Ancestry's transcription of neither carries it. It is the clearest thing this line has to show for reading pages at full resolution instead of trusting an index
• 🆕 In the 1884 Wilkes-Barre directory, aged about 26, he was a veterinary surgeon with office and home at 96 Public Square, and advertised as “Dr. J. H. Timberman … Member of Penn'a College of Veterinary Surgeons” S375 — sixteen years before the 1900 census; added 24 September 2026.
• 🆕 His sister Rebecca Timberman Harbauer (1864–1944) married Henry C. Harbauer; her death certificate names the same parents, John Timberman and Rebecca Harris S579. So a Timberman brother and sister both married Harbauers. That Henry C. was Louise Emma's brother is not yet proven. added 25 September 2026.

More · 6 further facts

• His parents are confirmed by his own death certificate: father John H. Timberman (b.~1826), mother Rebecca Anna Harris (b.~1823) S93 Confirmed. His middle name Harris is his mother's maiden name, carried forward — and then given to his son as well, which is why three generations answer to the same three words
• The 1860 census puts the whole household at Salem, Salem County, New Jersey: John Timberman 34, Rebecca A. 37, James H. 2, Esther A. 14 and John H. 7/12 S94. ⚠️ That places the family at Salem in 1860; it is not itself a statement of where the two-year-old was born. New Jersey is confirmed by the 1900 census's nativity column and by the son's Ohio certificate; Salem County is the household's place, and the stronger of the two claims
• He married Louise Emma Harbauer — on the site's older reading of the dates she is simply "1863–1934"; the 1900 census fills her in. She was born June 1863 in Pennsylvania of two German-born parents, and the same sheet records three children born, three living S139
• Louise first appears at seven in Philadelphia in 1870 S175, and in 1880 at 17 in the house of her widowed mother Eva Harbauer, 149 Noble Street S176. A Jas Timberman, 22, boarded in the next house, 151 Noble Street — his age, and identified by name and age only.
• In 1900 the directory lists him as a veterinarian, business and house at 8 E. Union, Wilkes-Barre S178; by 1910 the family lived at 293 North Main Street, where the census gives his trade as doctor in general practice S177.
• At twelve, in 1870, he worked in a cotton mill at Gloucester City, New Jersey S189. By 1914 he practised as Timberman & Church, veterinary surgeons, rear 15 N Main S190; his son Albert N. named him next of kin in 1916 at 60 S. Washington St. S200.
• The marriage is dated to about 1886, and the derivation is worth stating plainly: the 1900 schedule records them as married 14 years, which counts back to 1886 S139. ⚠️ No marriage record has been retrieved, and a years-married column is a round number given to an enumerator, not a register entry. It is corroborated from an unusual direction — their eldest son was born October 1886 — which brackets the wedding tightly but also means the census figure and the son's birth are describing one and the same year with no room to spare
• The 1900 household is the only place all three sons appear together: James H., Oct 1886, at school at 13; George W., Feb 1892; and Albert, Aug 1893 S139. They are at house 8, dwelling 38, family 44, Ward 5, 2nd Division, enumerated 1 June 1900 by John Shadrach. Only the eldest has a page of his own here; George and Albert are recorded and not yet traced
• He died 3 June 1919 at Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, one day before his sixty-first birthday, of carcinoma of the prostate of a year's duration, at 60 South Washington Street. He was buried at Mt. Greenwood Cemetery on 5 June 1919; the undertaker was W. E. Doran & Sons and the return was filed on the 4th — certificate 69731, registered 642, district 667 S93

Two small things on the certificate are deliberately not turned into facts. The informant is a W. Timberman of West Virginia — the surname is legible at full resolution, the given initials are not, and they have not been expanded into a guess. And Ancestry indexes the entire 1900 household as "Limberman"; the enumerator's looped capital is a T, so that is a transcription artefact and not a name variant to be recorded. What is still open above him is his father: John H. Timberman's own parents are not found, and he is absent from the 1850 New Jersey census index across 194 Timberman results. The New Jersey Births and Christenings Index (1660–1931) is the next place to look, and it would also be the only document that could put a second, independent source behind 4 June.

• In 1880, widowed, head of the household at 149 Noble Street, Philadelphia, aged 55; her daughter Louise is in the house, and the census states the relationship as mother S176
• Mother of Louise Emma Harbauer, wife of James Harris Timberman Sr. S176
• The 1870 census gives her birthplace as France (possibly Alsace); unproven S175
• 🆕 Her marriage to Ludwig, written Ludwig Halbauer with Eva Jung, both of the Northern Liberties, is dated 9 September 1844 in a typed transcript of a Philadelphia church register S582. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 Her parents: Jacob Jung (Young) and Eve Jung (Young) Probable confirm or correct →. In 1850 Jacob Young, 69, tailor, and Eve, 54, both born in France, headed a family in the Northern Liberties that runs onto the next page with Lewis and Eve Harbour and their children S838, and a widows' pension index names her Eva Young Harbauer S839. What is weak: the census has no relationship column, and no document read calls her their daughter. added 28 September 2026.
• 🆕 The 1850 census page with her own household has now been read from the image: Lewis Harbour, 27, a cabinet maker born in France; Eve, 24, born in France; and Lewis 5, Harriet 3 and Sarah 4 months, born in Pennsylvania Probable confirm or correct → S969S838. Evidence: her exact age (born June 1825), France as in 1870, the same Northern Liberties neighbourhood as her 1880 home on Noble Street, and a cabinet-maker husband. What is weak: the census states no relationships, and nothing on the page names Louise. Know a record? Use “Add to this record”. added 29 September 2026
• 🆕 A Philadelphia directory indexed as 1874 lists “Harbauer Eva, wid Lewis, h 152 Pegg”, with Louis Harbauer, finisher, at the same house Probable confirm or correct → S1047. Evidence: the rare surname, the widowhood and the city fit her. Weak: the year is from the index only, and a directory gives no age or birthplace. Know more?

James Harris Timberman Jr.

PennsylvaniaConfirmed

Louise's father · 1886–1919

• On the record he is "J. H. Timberman, Jr." Confirmed — the 1915 Sumner County marriage book gives initials and the suffix, nothing more S29
• Married Nancy L. Martin — licence issued 15 June 1915, solemnised 17 June 1915 at Gallatin, Tennessee; clerk Moon, officiant H. L. Olmstead S29. 🆕 Corrected 26 September 2026: the book was first read as the 10th and the 11th; set beside a second scan of the same page, both read the 15th and the 17th, which agrees with the marriage bond S261.

More · 4 further facts

• His WWI draft registration card, signed "James Harris Timberman Jr." in his own hand at East Orange, New Jersey in 1917, settles the full given name and the birth date of 23 October 1886; it has him at 30, a deputy real-estate agent for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad at Hoboken S80 Confirmed
• His Ohio death certificate, read from the image, carries him the rest of the way: Jas. H. Timberman, born 23 October 1886 in Pennsylvania, a B&O Railroad inspector, died 24 January 1919 at 9 p.m. at Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio, of influenza after four days — the 1918–19 pandemic, exactly as the family remembered. The informant was his widow, reporting from Gallatin, Tennessee, where he was buried three days later. It names his parents J. H. Timberman Sr (born New Jersey) and Louise Harbauer (born Pennsylvania) S79 Confirmed
• ⚠️ Philadelphia is the one thing still Probable. The draft card names the city; the death certificate says only "Pa." Two cautions on the certificate's own face: its stated age of 31 is an arithmetic error for 32, and the cause of death is a handwritten word on 1919 microfilm, read as Influenza rather than transcribed from type S79
• His death when Louise was 21 months old is what the obituary describes — "at the age of two her family moved to Gallatin" — and by 1930 Nancy is enumerated as widowed. Two independent sources, one of them family-written, agree S26S27

The gap this note used to describe is closed. The draft card and the Ohio certificate together give the full name, the birth date, the death and both parents, so nothing now waits on the New Jersey birth certificate for Louise, Vol. 59 p. 95 (Orange, 10 April 1917) — only the index was ever retrieved. It would still add his mother's maiden name and both parents' ages as stated in 1917, and it is worth having for that. It is not online; the New Jersey State Archives holds it.

More · 5 further facts

• Her maiden name Martin is proved from that same page rather than from a tree: her own unmarried sister, "Martin, Emma, 59, single, teacher," is enumerated in the household S27
• Born 5 November 1878, Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee Probable — age 52 in the 1930 census is consistent S27S30
• Died 17 May 1967, at 811 Garner, Pasadena, Harris County, Texas Confirmed — Texas death certificate 31838; she had lived there ten years, and was taken home to Gallatin Cemetery, Tennessee S262. The FamilySearch tree had placed her death in California S30
• Her parents, Joseph Daniel Martin (1832–1899) and Nannie Chenault (1844–1915), married 10 January 1866 at Castalian Springs, Sumner County, are Probable — but corroborated sideways by the boarder in her 1930 household, "Chenault, Ermin, 28", a woman, a saleslady in dry goods: a Chenault living with the family S27S30
• 🆕 Her grandparents are now named too, 18 September 2026 — and on 22 September Peter Hines Martin's own will names Joseph in the children's division S172, so that link no longer rests on a census household (the will does not write son; the bequest's structure carries it): Joseph Daniel Martin's own parents were Peter Hines Martin (4 Nov 1793 – 4 July 1849, Gallatin, Sumner Co., TN) S105 and Jane Bell, married 2 July 1818 in Davidson County S106. Two pencilled boxes on Robert William Coffman's pedigree chart S103 gave the names; the records confirmed the man, the marriage and the widow's household S98

That 1930 household is the single best document of the run that found it. One page puts Louise, her widowed mother, her mother's unmarried Martin sister and a Chenault relative under one roof — and in doing so it named two generations that had been blank.

Louise Martin Timberman

New JerseyConfirmed

Maternal grandmother · 1917–2008

• Maiden name: TIMBERMAN. Full maiden name Louise Martin Timberman. This was the last blank on the maternal side and it closed on 13 September 2026 S25S26S28
• Born 10 April 1917, East Orange / Orange, Essex County, New Jersey — read off the printed Index of Births in New Jersey, 1915–19, Orange: "Timberman, Louise M. — Apr. 10, 1917 — Vol. 59, p. 95" S25. A printed index, not a transcription, and the date is exact.
• 🆕 Already at Ward-Belmont School in 1934–35, in the F. F. Club in the 1935 Milestones S395; added 24 September 2026.

• Died 20 January 2008, Deltona, Volusia County, Florida S26S30
• Married Robert William Coffman on 8 June 1939, Sumner County, Tennessee — bond dated the 6th, solemnised on the 8th by the groom's own older brother, James Burton Coffman, M.G. S28
• Parents: James Harris Timberman Jr. (1886–1919) and Nancy Louise Martin (1878–1967), married at Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee on 17 June 1915 S29S27
• Raised in Gallatin, Tennessee from the age of two — her father died in January 1919, when she was 21 months old, and by 1930 her mother is enumerated as widowed S26S27
• M.A. Library Science, Peabody College; librarian at Milby High School, Houston, then North Shore Junior High; member, Daughters of the American Revolution S26
• Interment at Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery, Houston, is stated in her obituary Probable — but no FindAGrave memorial exists for her Not found. All sixteen Coffman memorials at that cemetery were checked, under both surnames. Her husband is there; she is not. The grave exists; the memorial has simply never been created S26S15

Why this is certainly the right woman. Her 2008 obituary names her surviving children as "Ginger Clayton, Nancy Proeger, David Coffman and James Coffman" — an exact match for the 1950 census household, plus David, who was born after it. It names her late husband as Robert W. Coffman, married fifty years S26S10.

⚠️ One disagreement, recorded rather than hidden. Zoomed to 5× on three separate passes, the bride's surname in the 1939 Sumner County marriage bond reads "Tuckerman" to this researcher — a ck where FamilySearch's indexers read an mb and transcribed "Timberman" S28. Timberman still stands, because it does not rest on that handwriting at all: the printed New Jersey birth index, the family-supplied obituary, the 1930 census and the 1915 marriage record in a different clerk's hand all read Timberman S25S26S27S29. Four sources, three of them not handwriting-dependent, against one 1939 clerk's cursive.

⚠️ A second conflict, also unresolved: the 1930 census gives her birthplace as Tennessee, not New Jersey, as it does for everyone in that household S27. Her mother had been back in Gallatin for a decade by then and the enumerator most likely wrote the family's state. The 1950 census, the New Jersey birth index and the obituary all say New Jersey — three to one.

• 🆕 Colonial Families of the United States gives his birth as 7 July 1788, Fayette County, Virginia (now Clark County, Kentucky). Kentucky was still part of Virginia then, which is why sources say both.

Two sons' death certificates name him and Lucy Bush as parents: Colby B. Jr. (1822–1907) and John Martin (1833–1914) S493S494. An SAR application and two DAR entries give his parents as James Quisenberry and Jane Burris; they are compiled lineages, so this is probable S498S499S500. These records prove other children, not Louisa, so the couple's status stays probable. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 The Clark County register of births for 1858 records Mariah, a Black girl born enslaved on 30 December near Winchester, with “Colby B. Quisenberry” entered as her owner S726 Probable confirm or correct →. He was living near Winchester in 1860 S496. What is weak: his son Colby B. Jr had the same name, and the register does not say which Colby it means. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 In 1840 “C B Quisenberry” headed a Clark County household with a man and a woman aged 50–59, which fits Colby, born 1788, and Lucy, four men in their twenties, and eight younger people; Thacker and Jackson Quisenberry headed young families a few lines below S741 Probable confirm or correct →. The head is too old to be his son Colby B. Jr., who signed the same way in 1847. What is weak: the 1840 census names only the head, so the initials, the ages and the county are the only link. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The family Memorials of 1900, in its “A Constructive Descent” on page 7, gives him born in Clark County, then Fayette County, Virginia, on 7 July 1788, dead there on 30 December 1870, and married to Lucy Bush on 16 December 1810 S761. That agrees with Colonial Families S451, so the 31 December credited to the Memorials is the book disagreeing with itself. A compiled book, not a record. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Probably him in 1830: Colby B. Quisenberry headed a Clark County household in 1830 with a man and a woman aged 40–49 and eleven children under 20 Probable confirm or correct → S1060. Evidence: the name and county, and a head aged 40–49 fits a birth in 1788. Weak: only the head is named, and the page with the enslaved and free coloured columns is not on the image. Know more? Use “Add to this record”. added 29 September 2026

Lucy Bush

Probable

Evidence: The 1900 Quisenberry family book names Louisa as her daughter; two sons' death certificates prove her name Bush. Weak or missing: No record names Louisa as her child; her parents come only from SAR and DAR lineage books. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Probable mother of Louisa Quisenberry · born about 1790

• Research status: PROBABLE — added 24 September 2026 and entered in the family tree the same day, labelled probable there too; Quisenberry Memorials (1900), p. 67 S333, a compiled family book rather than a record, names Louisa as their daughter and gives her 1827 marriage to David Chenault; the couple's own marriage register, 16 December 1810, Winchester, Clark County, Kentucky, has been read from the image
• Probable mother of Louisa Quisenberry Chenault; wife of Colby Burris Quisenberry, married 16 December 1810, Winchester, Kentucky
• Born about 1790 and died about 1872, both years from the family book
• 🆕 Her maiden name, Bush, is now on two death certificates, both of her sons: Colby B. Quisenberry Jr. (1907) and John Martin Quisenberry (1914). The second gives her birthplace as Clark County, Kentucky S493S494. She is in the Clark County censuses of 1850, 1860 and 1870 S495S496S497. An SAR application and a DAR entry name her parents as Francis Bush and Rachel Martin, his second wife; they are compiled lineages, so this is probable S498S500. added 25 September 2026.

Ludwig Harbauer

Probable

Evidence: A sister's 1863 baptism naming Ludwig Harbauer and Eva Jung, the 1870 Philadelphia census, and a typed transcript of their 1844 church marriage. Weak or missing: Nothing names Louise Emma herself as his child, and the 1844 marriage is known only from a later typed copy. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Probable father of Louise Emma Harbauer

• Research status: PROBABLE — added 24 September 2026 and entered in the family tree the same day, labelled probable there too; Louise Emma's sister Henriette Harbauer's baptism, Salem Zion United Church of Christ, Philadelphia, 29 March 1863 (born 28 May 1848), names her parents as Ludwig Harbauer and Eva Maria Jung; the 1870 Philadelphia census has Eva with the children, among them Louisa, 7, and Henrettia S175
• Probable father of Louise Emma Harbauer, wife of James Harris Timberman Sr.; husband of Eva Harbauer
• Philadelphia, Ward 11, aged 43, a cabinet maker, in the 1863 Pennsylvania septennial census. Died before June 1880, when Eva is a widow at 149 Noble Street S176; no death record has been read
• 🆕 A typed transcript of a Philadelphia church marriage register records Ludwig Halbauer and Eva Jung, both of the Northern Liberties, married on 9 September 1844 S582. It is a later copy; the original register page has not been seen. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 Probably the Lewis Harbour, 27, cabinet maker, born France heading a household with Eve, 24, and three young children in the Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, in August 1850 Probable confirm or correct → S969. What is weak: the census gives no relationships, and his age there points to about 1823 where the 1863 septennial census points to about 1820. Know a record?

Samuel Timberman

Probable

Evidence: John H. Timberman's 1857 Swedesboro marriage record, “son of Samuel Timberman”. Weak or missing: Index records only; Samuel's own dates are not documented. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Probable father of John H. Timberman

• Research status: PROBABLE — added 24 September 2026 and entered in the family tree the same day, labelled probable there too; the marriage of John H. Timberman and Rebecca A. Harris, 16 August 1857, Swedesboro, New Jersey, gives the groom as a carpenter and a widower, son of Samuel Timberman; the county marriage index names “Saml Timberman” in the family field. Index records only; his own dates are not yet documented
• Probable father of John H. Timberman, and so great-grandfather of James Harris Timberman Jr.
• 🆕 His probable wife: Mary Burroughs Timberman Probable confirm or correct → — Samuel Timberman, 71, and a Mary head a Pilesgrove household in 1850 S861, and are named as Harriet Timberman's parents in a marriage index S862; a Mary Timberman, 70, daughter of Benjamin Burroughs, died on 6 June 1858 at Upper Alloways Creek S860. No record names her as Samuel's wife, and a Samuel Timberman–Mary Ann Applegate marriage is also indexed. added 28 September 2026.
• 🆕 Probably him in 1830: Samuel Timberman, 40–49, heading a household of 12 in Upper Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, with two sons 15–20; William and Ann Timberman lived next door (Upper Alloways Creek Township, 1830) Probable confirm or correct → S996. Evidence: the name, and the township where Mary Timberman died in 1858 S860. Weak: 1830 names only the head, and the age bracket is a decade younger than his 71 in 1850 S861. Know more? Use “Add to this record”. added 29 September 2026
• 🆕 Probably him in 1840: Samuel Timberman, 60–69, in Upper Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, with a woman 50–59, a boy 10–14 and a girl 5–9. He is listed between Benjn Timberman and Samuel Timberman Jr, both 20–29, who may be older sons Probable confirm or correct → S1017. Evidence: his age fits the 71 of 1850 S861, the woman fits Mary, and the boy fits John H., born about 1830. Weak: 1840 names only the heads, and the 1830 entry gives him an age of 40–49, which does not agree. Know more? Use “Add to this record”. added 29 September 2026

John H. Timberman

Confirmed

Father of James Harris Timberman Sr. · born about 1825

• Research status: CONFIRMED — added 24 September 2026; entered in the family tree the same day. His son's 1919 Pennsylvania death certificate names him as father, John H. Timberman, born New Jersey S93, and the 1858 Upper Alloways Creek birth return names the parents John Timberman & Rebecca, the father a carpenter S374
• Father of James Harris Timberman Sr.; husband of Rebecca Anna Harris
• Married Rebecca A. Harris, 16 August 1857, at Swedesboro, New Jersey, by Geo. Hitchens, minister; the Woolwich Township marriage return, read from the image, gives him as Jno. Timberman, 32, carpenter, of Gloucester, a widower, son of Saml. Timberman
• John Timberman, 34, at Salem, New Jersey, in 1860 with Rebecca A., James H., Esther A. and the infant John H. S94; a house carpenter, 40, at Gloucester City in 1870, a widower again, with James H., John H. and a younger Rebecca S189

• 🆕 A daughter, Rebecca Timberman Harbauer, was born on 10 August 1864 in New Jersey and died on 23 April 1944 at 4840 Pine Street, Philadelphia. Her death certificate names her parents as John Timberman and Rebecca Harris, both born in New Jersey; she was the widow of Henry C. Harbauer S579.

Colby Burris Chenault

Probable

Evidence: The 1850 Sumner County census (“Colly”, 19, in David and Louisa's home), the 1900 Quisenberry family book, and a 1942 headstone application giving his death on 4 April 1918 and burial at Gallatin. Weak or missing: The census states no relationships, the book is compiled, and the War Department could not find the Civil War unit given on the headstone application. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Son of David Chenault · born about 1831

• Research status: PROBABLE — added 24 September 2026 and entered in the family tree the same day, labelled probable there too; the 1850 Sumner County, Tennessee, census (District 3, dwelling 336) has “Colly” Chenault, 19, in the household of David, 50, and Louisa, 39 S97; and Quisenberry Memorials p. 67 S333 lists Louisa Quisenberry and David Chenault's children as “1. John. 2. Colby. …”. A death on 4 April 1918, first seen only in other users' tree media, is now given by a 1942 headstone application S561
• Son of David Chenault and Louisa Quisenberry; elder brother of Nannie Chenault, Milton Waller, Maria Louise and Charles Coker
• Born about 1831; died 4 April 1918; buried Gallatin Cemetery S561
• 🆕 He married Araminta Harper; their bond was entered in Sumner County on 8 May 1854 S445. They farmed in Sumner County for more than fifty years: District 2 in 1860, with $8,000 in land S446; the 3rd Civil District, near Castalian Springs, in 1870 S447; the 1st District in 1880 with ten children, when he gave both his parents as born in Kentucky S448; and Trousdale County in 1900. The 1900 census gives his birth as May 1831 and says Araminta had borne nine children, all living S449. In 1910 they were on the Coles Ferry Pike, married 55 years, and he was marked “Ca”, a Confederate veteran S450. His unit has not been found yet. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 His son Jacob Anderson Chenault, a minister, was born in Sumner County on 12 June 1870 and died at Nashville in 1952; the death certificate names his parents as Colby Chenault and Ariminta Harper S549. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 A 1942 veteran's headstone application for Colby Chenault Sr. gives his death as 4 April 1918 and his burial in Gallatin Cemetery, and his service as a private in Co. G, 9th (Ward's) Tennessee Cavalry, from 1 November 1862 S561. The applicant was a Mrs. D. C. Harper of Gallatin; his wife was Araminta Harper, but the page does not say how they were related. The War Department could not find the unit in its own records, so the service is the family's claim. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 A daughter, Alice Chenault Bullock, wife of Nathan Bullock, was born at Gallatin on 24 August 1862 and died at Nashville on 3 April 1943. Her death record names her parents as Colby Chenault and Araminta Harper, both born in Sumner County S672. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The 1860 slave schedule for District 2 of Sumner County lists Coleby Chenault as holding one enslaved girl, aged 10. The schedule does not give her name S686. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Araminta Harper's parents: probably Benjamin S. Harper and Nancy Tinsley Probable confirm or correct →. In 1850 “Arminta”, 13, was in Benj. S. Harper's household in District 14 of Sumner County, four years before her marriage S866. Benjamin gave bond to marry Nancy Tinsley on 30 November 1825 S867S868 and married Jane Bell on 9 November 1841 S869, so Nancy was his only known wife when Araminta was born, about 1837. Accepted by Earl as probable; what is weak: the census states no relationships, no record names Araminta's parents, and nothing shows Nancy was still living in 1837. The dates and middle name Find a Grave gives Benjamin are not used. added 28 September 2026.
• 🆕 In January 1920 his widow, entered as “Ira M.”, 83, widowed, lived on Dobbins Road in Civil District 9 of Sumner County with their unmarried children John W., 54, who owned the farm, Jewell, 52, and Sallie, 44, a public school teacher Confirmed S1159.
• 🆕 The 1860 farm schedule for Sumner County lists Colby Chenault with about 100 acres improved and 92 unimproved, the farm valued at $4,000 Confirmed S1161. The film is faint, the livestock columns cannot be read, and the schedule gives no age or family.

Rebecca Anna Harris

Confirmed

Mother of James Harris Timberman Sr. · died 1866

• Research status: CONFIRMED — added 24 September 2026; entered in the family tree the same day. Her son's 1919 Pennsylvania death certificate names her Rebecca Anna Harris, born New Jersey S93, and his middle name is her maiden name
• Mother of James Harris Timberman Sr.; wife of John H. Timberman; daughter of James and Rachel Harris
• Married John Timberman, 16 August 1857, at Swedesboro, New Jersey; the marriage return gives her as 18, single, of Salem County, daughter of James & Rachel. Rebecca A., 37, at Salem in 1860 S94
• Died 8 July 1866, City of Salem, New Jersey, aged 37, of consumption — the Salem death return, read from the image; the index's 1867 is the year the return was filed. Her birth year conflicts (about 1839 by the marriage age, earlier by the census and death ages), so none is given

James Harris

Confirmed

Father of Rebecca Anna Harris

• Research status: CONFIRMED — added 24 September 2026; entered in the family tree the same day. Rebecca Anna Harris's 1857 Woolwich Township marriage return and her 1866 Salem City death return, both read from the images, name her parents as James & Rachel Harris
• Father of Rebecca Anna Harris, and so great-grandfather of James Harris Timberman Jr.; husband of Rachel
• Of Salem County, New Jersey. His own dates are not yet documented
• 🆕 In 1870 he was 73, living with Rachel in Gloucester City in the home of Joseph K. and Georgianna Frazer S622. That puts his birth about 1797, in New Jersey. The census does not say how the Frazers were related. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 In 1860 he was James Harris, 63, a labourer, living with Rachel in Upper Alloways Creek, Salem County S653. The census leaves birthplaces blank. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 In August 1850 he was James Harris, 53, a labourer, in Upper Alloways Creek, Salem County, with Rachel, 39, Benjamin, 16, and Charlotte E., 10, all born in New Jersey Confirmed S1167. The census states no relationships. Rebecca Anna, about 27, was no longer at home.

Rachel Harris

Confirmed

Mother of Rebecca Anna Harris

• Research status: CONFIRMED — added 24 September 2026; entered in the family tree the same day. Rebecca Anna Harris's 1857 Woolwich Township marriage return and her 1866 Salem City death return, both read from the images, name her parents as James & Rachel Harris
• Mother of Rebecca Anna Harris; wife of James Harris
• Her maiden name and dates are not yet documented
• 🆕 In August 1850 she was Rachel Harris, 39, born New Jersey, in James Harris’s household in Upper Alloways Creek, Salem County, with Benjamin, 16, and Charlotte E., 10 Confirmed S1167. That age puts her birth about 1811, which sits awkwardly with Rebecca Anna’s birth about 1823: either Rebecca was born later than her 1860 age says, or Rachel was James’s second wife. Both of Rebecca’s own returns name her mother as Rachel, so the card stands; if you know more, use “Add to this record”.

Robert B. Martin

Probable

Evidence: Peter H. Martin's 1849 will, a gift “for the benefit of my children”. The 1870 Shreveport census (S1046) has D. B. Martin, 37, a Tennessee-born merchant, with the same make-up as the 1860 Rusk household (S429). Weak or missing: The will never says “son”; no census or estate record names him as one. The 1870 ages run two to three years young, and nothing on that page names Peter H. Martin, so David B. as Robert's brother is not proven. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Probable son of Peter Hines Martin

• Research status: PROBABLE — added to this record 24 September 2026; on the family tree, labelled probable there too. He is named in Peter H. Martin's 1849 will S172 in a gift “for the benefit of my children”, but the will does not say “son”; a census household or a guardianship or estate record naming him as a son would confirm it. The will also records his $370 advance and his share in the shoe store
• Probable son of Peter Hines Martin and Jane Bell; brother of Joseph Daniel Martin
• Married Urilda P. Morgan, 4 September 1849, Sumner County, Tennessee — two months after Peter's death
• 🆕 A Robt. B. Martin was appointed postmaster at Gallatin on 20 April 1848 and held the office until August 1849. The page does not say he is the Robert B. of the will S432. In 1850 Robert B. Martin, 23, was a merchant in Sumner County with Urilda, 21, and their son Charles H., 4 months S428. Between about 1852 and 1854 the family moved to Rusk, Cherokee County, Texas. In 1860 he farmed there, and a D. B. Martin, 29, merchant, born Tennessee, lived next door S429. In 1870 he was a merchant in Rusk with Urilda P., Charlie H., Jennie B., Clarra B. and Percy S430. By 1880 he was a widower, 53, farming in Rusk with his sons Charles H., a schoolteacher, and Percy. He gave his father's birthplace as Virginia and his mother's as Tennessee, which matches Peter Hines Martin and Jane Bell. He is still Probable, because no record names his parents S431. added 25 September 2026.
• 🆕 By 1870 the D. B. Martin of the 1860 Rusk household was a merchant at Shreveport, Caddo Parish, Louisiana, 37, with S. N., Ella and Clarance Probable confirm or correct → S1046. Evidence: the same Tennessee-born merchant, North Carolina-born wife and Texas-born Ella as 1860. Weak: the ages run 2–3 years young, and nothing names Peter H. Martin, so David B. as Robert’s brother stays Probable. Know more? Use “Add to this record”. added 29 September 2026

Rev. James Quisenberry

Probable

Evidence: SAR application 27139 and the DAR Lineage Book, which make him Colby Burris Quisenberry's father; his epitaph, as a Quisenberry family book copies it, which gives his marriage to Jane Burrus and thirteen children by her; Colonial Families and a Burris typescript, which name his parents as Aaron and Joyce Quisenberry. Weak or missing: Compiled lineage books only; no original record has been read; the Memorials calls his descent 'constructive' and gives Joyce's surname, Dudley, only 'as is supposed'. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Father of Colby Burris Quisenberry · 1759–1830

• Research status: PROBABLE — from compiled lineage books only: SAR application 27139 S498 and the DAR Lineage Book S499 make him Colby Burris Quisenberry's father. No original record has been read
• Probable father of Colby Burris Quisenberry, and so great-grandfather of Louisa Quisenberry Chenault
• Born 1759, Spotsylvania County, Virginia; married Jane Burris in 1776; died 1830, Clark County, Kentucky (lineage books)
• 🆕 A Revolutionary War burial index card gives Rev. James Quisenberry's dates as born 13 June 1759 and died 5 August 1830, aged 71, and says he was buried on his farm in Clark County, Kentucky, and was a “defender of Fort Boonesboro” S728. It is a compiled card, not an original record. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 A Clark County marriage register records the marriage of a James Quisenberry and Cloey Ship on 24 December 1811, performed by James Haggard S727 Probable confirm or correct →. It may be a second marriage for this James after Jane Burris died; on the next page of the register a James Quisenberry officiates at three marriages, which fits a minister. What is weak: the register gives no ages or parents, so it does not show which James this is; Jane Burris's death, 3 November 1811, comes only from a book's copy of her stone S750; and the original bond has not been read. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 His epitaph, as copied into a Quisenberry family book, says he was born in Orange County, Virginia, “of English parentage”, on 13 June 1759; married Jane Burrus in his eighteenth year and had seven sons and six daughters by her; married Chloe Shipp of Clark County on 24 December 1811 and had eleven more children; moved to Kentucky in 1783; and died on 5 August 1830 S750 Probable confirm or correct →. This names the 1811 bride of the Clark County register as his second wife. What is weak: it is a book's copy of the stone; and it puts his birth in Orange County, where a family history puts it in Spotsylvania, so the card keeps Spotsylvania. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Colonial Families of the United States calls him the founder of the Kentucky branch: after service in the Orange County militia he settled in 1783 in what is now Clark County, was in the garrison of the fort at Boonesboro under Daniel Boone, and was an ordained Baptist minister. It names his first three children by Jane Burris: Joyce, born 1777, who married James Duncan; Frances, born 1779, who married John Bruner; and Jane, born 1782, who married Ambrose Bush S762. A Burris typescript says his family moved from Spotsylvania to Orange when he was ten, and names his parents as Aaron and Joyce Quisenberry S763; the family Memorials makes him the son of Aaron Quisenberry (about 1715–1795) and of Joyce Dudley, “as is supposed” S761 Probable confirm or correct →. What is weak: all three are compiled books; the Memorials author calls his own descent “constructive” and hedges Joyce's surname; and two of the books give James Jane's 5 July birthday, one also a 24 December wedding, where the stones say 13 June and 4 December. If you know more, use “Add to this record”. added 26 September 2026.

Jane Burris

Probable

Evidence: SAR application 27139, the DAR Lineage Book, her father Thomas Burrus's 1788 will, which names 'my daughter Jane Quisenberry', and her tombstone as a Quisenberry family book copies it: born 5 July 1759, died 3 November 1811; a Burris family typescript agrees on her marriage and death. Weak or missing: The will names neither her husband nor her age; her dates come from a book's copy of the stone, not the stone itself, and one DAR entry gives 1739. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Mother of Colby Burris Quisenberry

• Research status: PROBABLE — from compiled lineage books only: SAR application 27139 S498 and the DAR Lineage Book S499. The two disagree on her birth: the SAR says 1759, the DAR 1739. Her tombstone, as copied in a family book, and a second DAR entry both give 1759 S750S751
• Probable mother of Colby Burris Quisenberry; wife of Rev. James Quisenberry, married 1776
• Born 5 July 1759, Orange County, Virginia; died 3 November 1811, Clark County, Kentucky (her tombstone, as a family book copies it S750); one DAR entry's 1739 is not supported by anything read
• 🆕 Her father's will, written 2 October 1788 and proved 23 March 1789 in Orange County, Virginia (Will Book 3), names “my daughter Jane Quisenberry” and “my grand Daughter Frances Quisenberry the Daughter of Jane Quisenberry” S645. It is the first original record for her. It shows that she was Thomas Burrus's daughter and married to a Quisenberry by 1788, but it does not name her husband or give her age, so her birth year is still open. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Her tombstone in Clark County, Kentucky, as copied into a Quisenberry family book, calls her the consort of Rev. James Quisenberry, married 4 December 1776, the mother of thirteen children, born in Orange County, Virginia, on 5 July 1759, and dead on 3 November 1811, aged 52 years, 3 months and 27 days S750 Probable confirm or correct →. A second DAR entry, for Lilla May Duncan, also gives her as 1759–1811 S751. What is weak: this is a book's copy of the stone, not the stone itself; but the age at death checks out against both dates. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 A typescript history of the Burris family lists her as the ninth of Thomas Burris's children, married at seventeen on 4 December 1776 to James Quisenberry, “who was the same age”, and dead on 3 November 1811 S763. It prints her birth year as 1755, a slip, since it makes her James's age and her stone says 1759. Her sister Frances Tandy Burris married William Bush, “Captain Billy Bush” (1746–1815), son of Philip Bush Sr., on 9 December 1778, and her sister Mourning married Thomas Graves Jr. in 1791. A compiled typescript, not a record. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Her mother: Frances Tandy Probable confirm or correct →, by DAR Lineage Book no. 112604, “Thomas Burris m. Frances Tandy” S751; her father's 1788 will names his wife Frances S645. Accepted by Earl as probable; what is weak: only compiled books give the name Tandy, and the will does not say Frances was Jane's mother. added 28 September 2026.

Francis Bush

Probable

Evidence: SAR application 27139, DAR Lineage Book no. 141325, and a Francis Bush on a 1778 roll of the 2nd Virginia Regiment; a compiled chart in Ridge Runners (1978) names his first wife, Lucy Davis, and his parents, Philip Bush and Mary Bryan. Weak or missing: The 1778 roll is a name match only; nothing yet shows Lucy was the child of his second wife, Rachel, rather than his first. The Ridge Runners chart cites no sources and its dates (20 February; died about 1824) disagree with the lineage books (23 February; 1836). Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Father of Lucy Bush · 1750–1836

• Research status: PROBABLE — from compiled lineage books only: SAR application 27139 S498 and DAR Lineage Book no. 141325 S500, which calls Rachel Martin his second wife. No original record has been read, and nothing yet shows whether Lucy was Rachel's child or the first wife's
• Probable father of Lucy Bush, and so great-grandfather of Louisa Quisenberry Chenault
• Born 23 February 1750, Orange County, Virginia; died 1836, Clark County, Kentucky (lineage books). Married Rachel Martin as his second wife; his first wife is not named here
• 🆕 A Francis Bush enlisted on 14 February 1778 for one year in Capt. William Taylor's company of the 2nd Virginia Regiment, and was present in September 1778 S649. Probable confirm or correct → This is the first original record of service behind the lineage books, and he would have been 27. But a roll gives only a name, so the match rests on the name alone. A pension or bounty-land file would settle it. If you know more, use “Add to this record”. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 A compiled ancestor chart in Ridge Runners (1978) names his first wife, Lucy Davis, born about 1750, married about 1770 in Orange County, died before 1794, and his parents, Philip Bush and Mary Bryan S772 Probable confirm or correct →. What is weak: the chart cites no sources, and it gives his birth as 20 February and his death as about 1824, where the lineage books say 23 February and 1836. If Lucy Bush was born before 1794, Lucy Davis may be her mother rather than Rachel. added 26 September 2026.

Rachel Martin Bush

Probable

Evidence: SAR application 27139 and DAR Lineage Book no. 141325, which calls her Francis Bush's second wife; a Rachel Bush, 45 or over, heading a Clark County household in 1820; Rachael Bush, 93, blind, with Fielding Bush in Clark County in 1860; a supplemental SAR application naming her parents as John Martin and Rachel Pierce. Weak or missing: She may be Lucy's stepmother, not her mother; the 1820 house has no older man though Francis is said to have lived to 1836; her mother is given here as Rachel Pierce (SAR and DAR), with Rachel Pace (a Pace family book) as the alternate reading. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Mother of Lucy Bush · 1767–1860

• Research status: PROBABLE — from compiled lineage books only: SAR application 27139 S498 and DAR Lineage Book no. 141325 S500. The DAR book makes her Francis Bush's second wife, so she may be Lucy's stepmother rather than her mother. Her parents: John Martin and Rachel Pierce by a supplemental SAR application and the DAR S764S500, the Pace family book says Rachel Pace S749. This record goes with Rachel Pierce as probable and keeps Pace as the alternate reading
• Probable mother of Lucy Bush; second wife of Francis Bush
• 1767–1860 (lineage books)
• 🆕 In 1820 a Rachel Bush, 45 or over, headed a household in Clark County, Kentucky, with two young men and a girl, among the Martin households S650. Her age fits a birth in 1767. The index gives her ten slaves; the image shows none. Probable confirm or correct → What is weak: there is no older man in the house, yet the lineage books have Francis living until 1836. Either he was away or dead by 1820, or this is another Rachel. If you know more, use “Add to this record”. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 On 26 June 1860 Rachael Bush, 93, blind, born in Virginia, was living in Clark County, Kentucky, with Fielding Bush, 63, a farmer, probably her son S702. It is the first record made in her lifetime that fits the lineage books' 1767 birth and 1860 death. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 A Pace family book gives her birth as 22 August 1768 in Fluvanna County, Virginia, her death in 1860, and her parents as John Martin and Rachel Pace, and calls her Francis Bush's second wife S749 Probable confirm or correct →. What is weak: it is a compiled book, not a record; it leaves the marriage year blank; and her age of 93 in 1860 points to 1767, not 1768. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Her mother: probably Rachel Pierce; the alternate reading is Rachel Pace. A supplemental SAR application on number 27139, approved in 1915, gives her parents as John Martin (1746–1830), a private in Capt. Samuel Hawes's company of the 2nd Virginia Regiment from 16 September 1775, who settled in Clark County, Kentucky, and was pensioned in 1820, and Rachel Pierce S764. DAR no. 141325 also says Rachel Pierce S500. The Pace family book says Rachel Pace S749. Probable confirm or correct → Why Pierce leads: a lineage application that sets out its evidence for the Revolutionary service, and was checked and approved on it, outweighs a compiled family book that cites nothing for the name, and the DAR entry agrees with it. What is weak: none of the three is a record made in her lifetime, none cites a marriage record for John Martin, and Pierce and Pace could be one name misread. A marriage or probate record naming John Martin's wife would settle it; if you have one, use “Add to this record”. added 26 September 2026; Pierce made the lead reading 27 September 2026.
• 🆕 Her parents: Lieut. John Martin and Rachel Pace (or Pierce) Probable confirm or correct →. A FamilySearch index of Virginia christenings has a Rachel Martin born 22 August 1768 and christened 15 October 1768 in St James Northam Parish, Goochland County, daughter of John Martin and Rachel Pace S857, and a John Martin married Rachel Peace or Pace in that parish on 3 January 1757 S858. This record, independent of the lineage books, leans to Pace; Earl accepted both parents as probable. What is weak: both are indexes with no image read, and the 1768 child is matched to her by name, parish and date only. added 28 September 2026.

Colby B. Quisenberry Jr.

Probable

Evidence: His Lexington death certificate, which names Colby B. Quisenberry and Lucy Bush as his parents; the 1900 Quisenberry Memorials, which call him Colby Burris Quisenberry's seventh child. Weak or missing: Louisa's own tie to those parents is still probable, so the sibling link shares that doubt. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Brother of Louisa Quisenberry · 1822–1907

• Research status: PROBABLE (as Louisa's brother) — his Lexington death certificate names his parents as Colby B. Quisenberry and Lucy Bush S493. Louisa's own link to those parents is still probable, from a compiled family book, so the sibling tie shares that doubt
• Son of Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy Bush; probable brother of Louisa Quisenberry Chenault
• Born 31 August 1822, Madison County, Kentucky; died 20 March 1907, Avon, Kentucky
• 🆕 His marriage bond, dated 12 July 1847 in Madison County, Kentucky, is for his marriage to Miss Sarah Tribble of that county. He signed it “C B Quisenberry”, and a John B. Bush also signed S644. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The 1900 family Memorials lists him as the seventh child of Colby Burris Quisenberry. It says he married Sarah Tribble, daughter of Dudley Tribble, on 15 July 1847 and settled in Fayette County near David's Fork church, and it names four children: Ellen, Lucy Belle, Madison and Dudley Tribble S693. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 A later son, Colbey M. Quisenberry, was born at Lexington on 19 July 1866 and died, a retired farmer, at Hendersonville, North Carolina, on 20 December 1936. His certificate calls his mother “Mary” Tribble, but she was Sarah S694S644. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The censuses show him farming near Lexington in Fayette County for twenty years: in 1860, 37, with Sarah and five children and D. M. Thompson, 14 S756; in 1870, 48, with his land worth $20,000 and the youngest, Colby M., 7 S757; and in 1880, 57, at Brier Hill, with “Sallie”, three of their children, and their married daughter Lucy B. Carr and her two small children S758. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 In 1900, aged 77, born August 1822 and widowed, he still owned his farm in Fayette County (entered “Colby Quisenburg”). With him were his unmarried sons Maddison, 48, Dudley, 43, and Colby Jr., 36, his widowed daughter Bell Cass, 49, and her children Lizzie and Colby Cass Confirmed S1061. The census gives Colby Jr.’s birth as July 1863; his death certificate says 19 July 1866 S694. added 29 September 2026
• 🆕 The 1870 farm schedule for Fayette County (P.O. Lexington) shows his farm: 145 acres improved and 20 of woodland, valued at $13,000, with 5 horses, 5 milch cows, 25 other cattle and 40 hogs; that year it made 85 bushels of wheat and 1,000 of corn Confirmed S1158. The schedule gives no age or family, so the match rests on name and place.
• 🆕 In June and July 1863 the provost marshal for Kentucky’s 7th District entered Colby Quisenberry, 39, a farmer of Fayette County born in Kentucky, with no former service, on the Class II draft list Confirmed S1173. His father, born 1788, was over age, so this is Colby Jr.; the age is a year or two low.

Brother of Louisa Quisenberry · 1833–1914

• Research status: PROBABLE (as Louisa's brother) — his 1914 Kentucky death certificate names his parents as Colby B. Quisenberry and Lucy Bush S494. Louisa's own link to those parents is still probable, from a compiled family book, so the sibling tie shares that doubt
• Son of Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy Bush; probable brother of Louisa Quisenberry Chenault
• Born 26 April 1833, Clark County, Kentucky; died 10 March 1914, Montgomery County, Kentucky
• 🆕 He married Sarah Moore on 25 October 1859 S689. Their daughter Cora was born in Clark County on 6 November 1861; the register names her parents as Martin J. Quisenberry and Sarah F. Moore, born in Montgomery County S695. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The Montgomery County marriage list for 1859, copied by the clerk in May 1860, dates the wedding 24 October 1859: John M. Quissenberry, 24, of Clarke County, and Sarah F. Moore, 21, born in Montgomery County, both marrying for the first time S708. The family book says 25 October S689. The list's age of 24 would put his birth about 1835; the card keeps 26 April 1833. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The 1900 family Memorials says he lived at Ewington in Montgomery County and was “named for his maternal great-grandfather, John Martin”, and gives the births of Cora (1861), Ivanora (16 September 1863) and Audley (27 January 1865) S752. In 1880 “Mart” Quisenberry, 47, was farming at Howards Mills with Sarah and their children, and with her mother, Emily Moore, 78, born in Virginia S753. In 1900 he and Sarah F. had been married 40 years; she had borne nine children, seven living S754. In 1910, at 76, he lived with Sarah in their son Earl's home, married 50 years; the census wrote him as “James M.” S755. added 26 September 2026.

James Francis Quisenberry

Probable

Evidence: SAR application 27139, which traces a descent through him and his wife Emily Cameron Chenault; his own 1847 marriage bond with Emily C. Chenault; the 1900 Quisenberry Memorials, written by his son, which call him Colby Burris Quisenberry's eighth child. Weak or missing: The bond proves the marriage, but his parentage rests on two compiled sources; no record made in his lifetime names his parents. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Brother of Louisa Quisenberry

• Research status: PROBABLE — SAR application 27139 (James Marvin Hinkle, 1914) traces a descent through James Francis Quisenberry, son of Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy Bush, and his wife Emily Cameron Chenault S498. A second compiled source, the 1900 family Memorials written by his son, calls him Colby Burris Quisenberry's eighth child S689
• Son of Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy Bush; probable brother of Louisa Quisenberry Chenault
• Married Emily Cameron Chenault (about 1832–1904); the SAR application says 1846, but their marriage bond is dated 11 October 1847 S643. Her parents were probably Anderson Chenault and Emily Cameron (below)
• 🆕 His own marriage bond survives. On 11 October 1847, in Madison County, Kentucky, he gave bond, with David W. Chenault as surety, for his marriage to Miss Emily C. Chenault, and signed it “James F. Quisenberry” S643. The SAR application's 1846 is probably a year early. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The 1900 Memorials of the Quisenberry Family, written by his son Anderson Chenault Quisenberry, calls him the eighth child of Colby Burris Quisenberry. It gives his birth in Madison County on 15 October 1824, his death in Clark County on 3 February 1877, and his marriage on 14 October 1847 S689. Colonial Families of the United States gives the same dates S688. Both are compiled books. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Emily Cameron Chenault was born in February 1832; in 1900 she was living with her son Waller in Clark County, the mother of four children, three then living S690. A 1915 SAR application by her grandson names her parents as Anderson Chenault (1788–1854) and Emily Cameron, and her grandfather as William Chenault, a Revolutionary soldier S691; Colonial Families agrees S688. Probable confirm or correct → Evidence: two compiled sources name her parents. What is weak: no record made in her lifetime names them. If you know more, use “Add to this record”. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Their daughter Emma Alice Hinkle, born 26 October 1848, died in Robertson County, Tennessee, on 4 January 1931. Her death certificate names her parents as James F. Quisenberry and Emmily C. Chenault S692. She had married Joseph (or Josiah) Addison Hinkle in 1870 S689S691. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Their son Walter (Waller) Quisenberry, born in Clark County on 12 January 1853, died at Winchester on 6 November 1914. His death certificate names his parents as Jas. Quisenberry and “Emma” Chenault S698S690. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 A Jas. F. Quisenbury, 38, a white farmer born in Kentucky and living in Clark County, is on the June–July 1863 Civil War draft list for Kentucky's 7th District, just below Thos. J., 40, and Roger T., 37 S725 Probable confirm or correct →. The age fits his 15 October 1824 birth and the county fits his home. What is weak: the list gives only a name, an age and a county. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 The censuses show the family in Clark County: in 1860 James, 35, and “Emma”, 28, with Alice, 12, Anderson, 9, Waller, 7, and Francis, 5 S759; in 1870 Jas. F., 45, farming land worth $26,000, with Emma C., Alice, Walter and Francis, three houses from Golding Quisenberry, 52, whose kinship is not known S760. Emily went by Emma in both. added 26 September 2026.
• 🆕 Emily Cameron Chenault's mother: Emily Cameron Probable confirm or correct →. Another page of the 1915 SAR application gives “Anderson Chenault, born 1788, died 1854, and his wife Emily Cameron, born 1796, died 1836, married 1816” S859; the Madison County marriage bond of 1847 names Anderson Chenault as “father of Emily C. Chenault” S870. Accepted by Earl as probable; what is weak: the bond names the father only, and the mother rests on the compiled SAR application; the day and place of birth and death that trees give her are not in any record read. added 28 September 2026.

• Died 1899 — the headstone S86. The FamilySearch tree's later dates S12 are withdrawn: the headstone, the 1870 census and his father's 1849 will all place his birth in the early 1830s.
• Father of Nancy Louise Martin (Timberman line) S12
• Married Nannie Chenault S12

In the 1850 census of Northern Liberties Ward 3, Philadelphia, Jacob Young, 69, tailor, born in France, and Eve, 54, head a family that runs onto the next page with Lewis Harbour, Eve Harbour and three Harbour children S838; Eva's 1844 marriage calls her Eva Jung S582, and a Civil War widows' pension index names her Eva Young Harbauer S839. What is weak: the 1850 census has no relationship column, and no document read names Eva as Jacob's daughter
• Probable father of Eva Harbauer; husband of Eve (Eva) Jung
• Born about 1781, in France, by his age of 69 in 1850 S838. A Lutheran baptism at New Hanover, Pennsylvania, of 2 August 1782, which some trees give him, belongs to another man: this Jacob was born in France

Frances Tandy

Probable

Evidence: DAR Lineage Book no. 112604 names Frances Tandy as Thomas Burris's wife in Jane Burris's numbered line, and Thomas Burrus's 1788 will names his wife Frances, a son William Tandy and a daughter Frances Tandy Bush. Weak or missing: Only compiled lineage books give her maiden name; the will gives no surname and does not say Frances was Jane's mother, and no original record has been found. Not yet confirmed.

Probable mother of Jane Burris · wife of Thomas Burris

• Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. The DAR Lineage Book entry for Miss Lilla May Duncan (no. 112604) gives the line “James Quisenberry m. 1776 Jane Burris (1759–1811). Thomas Burris m. Frances Tandy”, Thomas a sergeant in the 3rd Virginia regiment who died in Virginia in 1789 S751. Thomas Burrus's own will of 1788 names his wife Frances, a son William Tandy and a daughter Frances Tandy Bush, besides “my daughter Jane Quisenberry” S645. A 1940 SAR application by another Burrus descendant, Ollie Ezekiel Reed, was read too, but the image is only its cover and references sheet S856. What is weak: only compiled lineage books give her maiden name as Tandy; the will names Thomas's wife Frances without a surname and does not say she was Jane's mother; FamilySearch has no independent record.
• Probable mother of Jane Burris, and so grandmother of Colby Burris Quisenberry; wife of Thomas Burris (Burrus) of Orange County, Virginia, whose will was written on 2 October 1788 and proved on 23 March 1789 S645

Lieut. John Martin

Probable

Evidence: DAR Lineage Book no. 141325 and the 1915 SAR supplemental on no. 27139 name John Martin as Rachel Martin Bush's father, and a FamilySearch christening index has a Rachel Martin born 1768 in St James Northam, Goochland, to John Martin and Rachel Pace. Weak or missing: All compiled or index-only; no will, deed or register names Rachel as his daughter, the 1768 christening matches her only by name, place and date, and the mother is Pierce in the books but Pace in the index.

Probable father of Rachel Martin Bush

• Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. DAR Lineage Book no. 141325 (Mrs. Electra Helm Withers) descends from “Lieut. John Martin”: “Francis Bush m. 2d Rachel Martin (1767–1860) … John Martin m. Rachel Pierce”, and says he “served as 2d lieutenant in the Fluvanna County, Virginia militia. He was born in Fluvanna County, Va.; died in Clark County, Ky.” S500. The 1915 SAR supplemental on no. 27139 names Rachel's parents as John Martin (1746–1830) and Rachel Pierce S764. A FamilySearch index of Virginia christenings has a Rachel Martin born 22 August 1768 and christened 15 October 1768 in St James Northam Parish, Goochland County, daughter of John Martin and Rachel Pace S857. What is weak: the books are compiled and the christening is an index with no image; no will, deed or register names our Rachel as John's daughter; the 1768 child matches her only by name, parish and date; and the books call the mother Pierce where the christening says Pace.
• Probable father of Rachel Martin Bush, and so grandfather of Lucy Bush; probable husband of Rachel Pace (or Pierce). A John Martin married Rachel Peace or Pace in St James Northam Parish, Goochland, on 3 January 1757, by an index of a printed register S858
• The SAR supplemental gives him as born in Virginia in 1746, a private in Capt. Samuel Hawes's company of the 2nd Virginia Regiment from 16 September 1775, settled in Clark County, Kentucky, and pensioned in 1820 S764; the DAR book makes him a 2nd lieutenant of the Fluvanna County militia S500.

Rachel Pace Martin

Probable

Evidence: A FamilySearch christening index names Rachel Martin (born 22 August 1768, St James Northam, Goochland) as the daughter of John Martin and Rachel Pace; an index of a printed register has a John Martin marrying Rachel Peace or Pace there in 1757; the Pace family book agrees. Weak or missing: Both are indexes with no image; the 1768 child matches our Rachel only by name, parish and date; the SAR supplemental and DAR no. 141325 call the mother Rachel Pierce.

Probable mother of Rachel Martin Bush · Pace or Pierce

• Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. A FamilySearch index of Virginia births and christenings has Rachel Martin, born 22 August 1768 and christened 15 October 1768 in St James Northam Parish, Goochland County, daughter of John Martin and Rachel Pace S857. A John Martin married Rachel Peace or Pace in the same parish on 3 January 1757, by an index of a printed register S858. The Pace family book also names her Rachel Pace and gives the same 22 August 1768 birth S749. What is weak: both records are indexes with no image read; the 1768 child is matched to our Rachel only by name, parish and date (her age of 93 in 1860 points to 1767); and the SAR supplemental and DAR no. 141325 call the mother Rachel Pierce S764S500. The christening leans to Pace, but it does not settle the name.
• Probable mother of Rachel Martin Bush; probable wife of Lieut. John Martin, married 3 January 1757 by the index S858
• The DAR entry prints “(1750–1821)” after Rachel Pierce's name, and it is not clear whose dates they are S500. The birth in Middlesex County and the death date that online trees give her are not in any record read

Mary Burroughs Timberman

Probable

Evidence: Mary Timberman's 1858 New Jersey death return names her parent as Benjamin Burroughs; a Samuel and Mary Timberman head a Pilesgrove household in 1850 and are named as Harriet Timberman's parents, and John H. Timberman's 1857 marriage names his father Samuel. Weak or missing: No document names Mary Burroughs as Samuel's wife or John H.'s mother; the 1850 Mary is written as 32, John H. is not in the house, and a Samuel Timberman x Mary Ann Applegate marriage is also indexed in Salem County. Not yet confirmed. Know more? Confirm or correct this →

Probable mother of John H. Timberman · about 1788–1858

• Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. The New Jersey return of deaths for Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, records Mary Timberman, married, 70, who died on 6 June 1858 at Upper Alloways Creek, born in Upper Pittsgrove, parent Benjamin Burroughs, of consumption S860. In 1850 Samuel Timberman, 71, a farmer, headed a Pilesgrove household with a Mary Timberman S861, and Harriet Timberman's marriage names her parents as Sam'l and Mary Timberman S862. John H. Timberman's 1857 marriage names his father as Samuel Timberman. What is weak: no document names Mary Burroughs as Samuel's wife or as John H.'s mother; the 1850 Mary is written as 32, not about 62, and John H. is not in that house; and FamilySearch indexes a Samuel Timberman marriage to Mary Ann Applegate in Salem County, a second Samuel or a second wife.
• Probable mother of John H. Timberman; probable wife of Samuel Timberman
• Born about 1788 at Upper Pittsgrove, New Jersey, a daughter of Benjamin Burroughs, who now has a card; died 6 June 1858 at Upper Alloways Creek, aged 70 S860. Her probable grandson James Harris Timberman Sr. was born at Allowaystown two days earlier, on 4 June 1858 S374
• On 5 September 1850, in Pilesgrove Township, Salem County: Samuel Timberman, 71, farmer; Mary Timberman, “32”; Jonathan, 22, farm hand; Judith, 30; Harriet, 20; Charles, 6; all born in New Jersey S861. The census states no relationships
• 🆕 A FamilySearch index of New Jersey church records gives a Mary Burroughs born 8 June 1788 at Salem, daughter of Benjamin Burroughs and Judith; the year agrees with her age of 70 at death. It is an index only, the image being restricted, and it is not yet read S1076. added 30 September 2026

Benjamin Burroughs

Confirmed

Father of Mary Burroughs Timberman · Salem County, New Jersey

• Research status: CONFIRMED as the father of Mary Burroughs Timberman. The New Jersey return of deaths for Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, read from the image, records the death of Mary Timberman, married, 70, of consumption, at Upper Alloways Creek on 6 June 1858, gives her birthplace as Upper Pittsgrove, and names her parent Benjamin Burroughs S860. A FamilySearch index of New Jersey church records independently gives a Mary Burroughs, daughter of Benjamin Burroughs and Judith, with a Salem birth of 8 June 1788, the year agreeing with her age at death S1076
• Father of Mary Burroughs Timberman. Her wife-of and mother-of links to Samuel Timberman and John H. Timberman are Probable, so his place in Earl’s line rests on hers
• His wife is Judith by the church-record index alone S1076; she has no card. His own birth and death are on no record read. The “K., Jr.”, the birth of 20 July 1764 and the death of 14 March 1826 that online trees give him are not used
• A later Benjamin Burroughs of Salem, father of a Mary born in 1830 to a wife Hannah, is a namesake in the same index and is kept apart
• 🆕 Probably his marriage: a later fair copy of a church marriage register, indexed to Daretown, Pittsgrove, Salem County, has “Benjamin Borans to Judah Lummus” on 30 March 1784 Probable confirm or correct → S1150. The evidence is the year, both names and the place, which fit Benjamin and Judith, parents of Mary born at Salem in 1788 S1076, and a published family history’s Judith Loomis, married 1784. What is weak: the spellings are phonetic, the copy names no church, and the family history is not a primary record. If you know more, use “Add to this record”.
• 🆕 Probably his will: on 6 January 1826 Benjamin Burroughs of Pilesgrove Township, Salem County, “weak in body”, left his clothes to his son James, a furnished bed, a looking glass, chairs and silver teaspoons to his daughter Hannah, and the rest to “my children” equally, with his son Cornelius as sole executor Probable confirm or correct → S1168. The evidence is the county and the generation: Upper Pittsgrove, where Mary was born in 1788, was split from Pilesgrove. What is weak: the will does not name Mary or a wife, and its proof, on the next page, has not been read, so it gives no death date. A Salem County record naming Mary among his heirs would settle it. If you know more, use “Add to this record”.

The single page that proves the Martin maiden name from a record rather than a tree. Corrected 26 September 2026: the boarder was first read as a man, “Ernest Chernault”, as FamilySearch indexed him.

Community-curated, not a record — the counterpart of S12 on the maternal side. Event lists and dates drawn from it are tagged Probable throughout. Cited here for Robert William Coffman's sibling list, which independently matches S16.
10. S79James Harris Timberman Jr. — Ohio certificate of death, 24 January 1919. State of Ohio, Bureau of Vital Statistics; Guernsey County, registration district 470, primary registration district 8717, registered no. 26, file no. 3039; Ohio, Deaths, 1908–1953, FamilySearch ARK 1:1:X8KB-Z38. Read from the certificate image on 15 September 2026, not from the index. Gives: Jas. H. Timberman, born 23 October 1886, birthplace Pa.; died 24 January 1919 at 9 p.m., city of Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio; occupation inspector, B. & O. R. R.; cause of death influenza, the attending physician certifying four days' attendance; father J. H. Timberman Sr, born N.J.; mother Louise Harbauer, born Pa.; informant Mrs. Jas. H. Timberman, Gallatin, Tenn.; buried Gallatin, Tennessee, 27 January 1919. This is the record that turned the Timberman parents from Probable to Confirmed, and the only source on this page for the cause of his death. Two cautions, both on the face of the document: the stated age of 31 is an arithmetic error — 23 October 1886 to 24 January 1919 is 32 years, and the FamilySearch index copies the mistake forward; and the cause of death is a handwritten word on 1919 microfilm, read here as Influenza on letter count, the four-day course and the date, not transcribed from type. The informant is his widow, so the parents' names are her testimony — corroborated independently by the 1910 Wilkes-Barre census, which is why the tag is Confirmed.
11. S80James Harris Timberman Jr. — World War I draft registration card, 1917. East Orange City, Essex County, New Jersey; NARA M1509, World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards; FamilySearch ARK 1:1:7FP1-BV2M, read from the card image 15 September 2026. Signed in his own hand, "James Harris Timberman Jr." — the full middle name the Ohio certificate reduces to an initial. Age 30; born 23 October 1886, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; home 302 Halsted, East Orange; deputy real-estate agent for the D. L. & W. R. R. at Hoboken. The name is settled by this card and nothing else is needed for it. The age of 30 dates the card to the first national registration of 5 June 1917 rather than the 1918 rounds. ⚠️ Philadelphia rests on this card alone — the death certificate says only "Pa." — so the city stays Probable while the name and the birth date do not.
12. S86Joseph D. Martin and Nannie G. Martin — double headstone. Member-submitted photograph dated 4/2012, from the Coffman family tree shared by Earl's uncle David. Re-read off the full-resolution image, enlarged, on 17 September 2026. Inscribed JOSEPH D. MARTIN, SEPT. 22, 1832 – SEPT. 28, 1899 and NANNIE G. MARTIN, JAN. 26, 1844 – APR. 4, 1915. ⚠️ This source previously transcribed the stone wrongly, and the error is recorded here rather than quietly overwritten. It gave the husband's middle initial as a C and put his death a decade too early, and built an argument on that: that the stone contradicted the family tree, and that the tree's "Daniel" and "1899" had no record behind them. The opposite is true. The monument plainly reads D. and 1899, so it corroborates the tree on both the middle initial and the death year — which makes it evidence for "Daniel", not against it. Two of the wife's figures were also out by a digit each (Jan. 26 not 28, Apr. 4 not 14). A misread document is worse than no document, because it is quoted with confidence. Their identification as Nancy Louise Martin's parents is still from the tree [S30] and remains Probable — a stone proves two people and their dates, not a parentage.
13. S93PA Death Certificate — James Harris Timberman, d. 3 Jun 1919, Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne, PA. Father John H. Timberman, mother Rebecca Anna Harris. Certificate no. 69731, registered no. 642, registration district 667. Ancestry collection 5164, record 870597; image 41381_1521003238_0722-02796, read from the image at full resolution 2884 × 2700 px (DeepZoom pyramid level 12, 36/36 tiles) on 21 September 2026. CONFIRMS James Harris Timberman's parents. His middle name "Harris" = mother's maiden name. The image carries three things Ancestry's transcription does not. (1) Line 6 is written out in longhand words — June / Fourth / 1858 — which settles the birth date against the tree's 4 Jan 1858; line 7's age at death, 60 yrs 11 mos 30 ds against a death of 3 Jun 1919, agrees independently. (2) His occupation, line 8a: Veterinary Surgeon. (3) Residence 60 South Washington St., Wilkes-Barre; cause of death carcinoma of the prostate, duration one year; buried Mt. Greenwood Cemetery, 5 June 1919, undertaker W. E. Doran & Sons; filed 4 June 1919. The informant is a W. Timberman of West Virginia — the surname is legible, the given initials are not confidently legible at this resolution and are not expanded into a guess.
14. S941860 US Federal Census — John Timberman household, Salem, Salem County, NJ. John Timberman, 34; Rebecca A, 37; James H, 2; Esther A, 14; John H, 7/12. NARA M653, Roll 707, Page 43. Ancestry collection 7667, record 55012827. Places the Timberman family at Salem, NJ in 1860 with James age 2.
15. S95TN Marriage Records — Joseph D. Martin + Nannie Chenault, 10 Jan 1866, Sumner County, Tennessee. Ancestry collection 1169, record 1652497. CONFIRMS the Chenault maiden name from a marriage record, not a tree.
16. S96KY County Marriage Records — David Chinault [Chenault] + Louisa Quishinberry, 25 Oct 1827, Madison County, Kentucky. Ancestry record 902385342. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 24 September 2026: Madison County marriage register, p. 166, the return of the minister David Chinault Senr., “October the 25th day 1827 was David Chinault and Louisa Quishinberry married.” CONFIRMS Nannie Chenault's parents' marriage. The return gives no ages, parents or bond. "Senr." hints that the groom was the minister's son, but the return does not say so. Film no. 000183302.
17. S971850 US Federal Census — David Chenault household, District 3, Sumner County, Tennessee. David Chenault, 50, b. KY; Louisa, 39, b. KY; Nancy, 6, b. TN (Nannie G. Chenault); plus 9 other children. NARA M432, Roll 897, Page 150b. Ancestry collection 8054, record 6857140. Shows the full Chenault household with Nancy age 6 — Nannie G. Chenault. Also records David Chenault household in Sumner Co., TN.
18. S981850 US Federal Census — Jane Martin household, District 12, Sumner County, Tennessee. Jane Martin, 56, Head (b. ~1794); David, 19; Joseph, 18; Martha, 16; Louisa, 14; Mary McMurry, 7; William Bell, 65. NARA M432, Roll 897, Page 286a. Ancestry collection 8054, records 6921047 / 6921049. Re-read in full on 18 September 2026, and it carries two names this entry had left off. Jane heads the household with no husband present because Peter Hines Martin died 4 July 1849, the year before [S105]. And William Bell, aged 65 — a man of her parents' generation, living under her roof — is her maiden name walking into the record on its own legs, independent of the marriage index [S106] and of the family chart [S103] that first supplied it. ⚠️ This household is still what makes Joseph Probable rather than Confirmed as Peter's son: right name, right age, right county, in the widow's house the year after the father died — but a census names a household, not a parentage. Peter's 1849 Sumner County probate file was what would close it [S107] — and it has: his holographic will of 30 June 1849 [S172] names Joseph D Martin in the children's division, and calls William Bell Jane's brother.
19. S99NJ Birth Index — Louise M. Timberman, b. 10 Apr 1917, Orange, New Jersey. Ancestry collection 61252, records 6617321/6617322. CONFIRMS Louise Martin Timberman's birth in the NJ Birth Index. Index only — does not include parents' names.
20. S103Robert William Coffman — four pedigree sheets, Genealogical Society of Utah forms (copyright 1936). Compiled by Robert William Coffman (1906–1990), Earl's maternal grandfather; kept after his death by his son David Coffman, who photographed and sent all four to Earl on 18 September 2026. Blue-ink cursive throughout, with a later layer of pencil block capitals on the right-hand column of Chart 1 and red annotations in a third hand. All four images are on this page. FAMILY TESTIMONY, and graded as such — a pedigree chart is not a record. Its value here is that it is testimony from inside the family, written down by a careful man with the 1940 Kauffman-Coffman book open beside him, and it carried two facts nothing else on this page had: the names PETER H MARTIN and JANE BELL [S105][S106], and the wedding date 5 Mar 1799 [S104]. ⚠️ Where the sheets disagree with a record, the record wins on this page, and three such places are printed rather than hidden: the chart's 1888 birth and "Columbus" for James Harris Timberman Jr. against his Ohio certificate's 23 Oct 1886 and Cambridge [S79]; its "Martin Coffman d. 1809" against the county's 1805 will; and its Martin against the 1799 bond's "Geo." ⚠️ Chart 3 (the Swiss Kauffman generations) and the surname-study sheet are published as documents and NOT as descent. The Swiss chain carries no citation of any kind, and the surname sheet — Kauffmans on the councils of Berne, Zurich, Solothurn and Lucerne, 1303–1582 — has nothing on it connecting any of those men to this family. ⚠️ The sheets arrived through a phone and cap at 720 × 1280 pixels; a chart field is 12–20 pixels tall at that size, which is why several readings are graded Probable. A re-photograph at full resolution would close about a dozen of them.
21. S105Peter Hines Martin Sr — Find a Grave memorial 138765883, with Ancestry member documents. Born 4 November 1793, Virginia; died 4 July 1849, Gallatin, Sumner County, Tennessee. Parents given as John Martin and Sarah Martin; spouse Jane. Indexed on Ancestry as collection 60541, record 4605011; the exact day and month are corroborated by member-submitted documents. Retrieved 18 September 2026. This is the record that answered a question this page had been posing as unanswerable. This page had carried Joseph's father as a man who died shortly before the 1850 census and could not be named — an inference drawn from his absence from it [S98]. The inference was right to within a year. The name came from a pencilled box on his great-great-grandson's pedigree chart [S103], and the "H" is Hines. ⚠️ Find a Grave is a compiled memorial, not an original. The dates are corroborated by the chart, by the 1818 marriage [S106] and by the 1850 widow's household; his own parents, John and Sarah Martin, rest on this memorial alone and stay Probable until an original is traced.
22. S106Peter H. Martin and Jane Bell — marriage, Davidson County, Tennessee, 2 July 1818. Tennessee, U.S., Compiled Marriages, 1784–1825 (Dodd), Ancestry collection 2099, record 3593. Retrieved 18 September 2026. An actual record for a name that existed only on a family chart. Box 29 of Chart 1 reads JANE BELL in pencil and nothing more [S103]; this is the marriage behind it. ⚠️ A compiled marriage index is a transcription, not the county register, so it is corroborated rather than relied on alone: William Bell, aged 65, is enumerated in Jane's household in 1850 [S98] — a Bell of her parents' generation under the widow's roof, which reaches her maiden name from a completely different direction.
23. S107Peter H. Martin in Sumner County, Tennessee, 1820–1849 — census, tax and probate trail. 1820 federal census, enumerated 7 August 1820, Gallatin, Sumner, Tennessee: "Peter H Martin", one male 26–44, one female 16–25, four persons engaged in manufactures (NARA M33, roll 124, p. 263, image 158). 1824 Tennessee Early Tax List, Sumner County: "Martin Peter", Ancestry record 201898. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 24 September 2026: the only Peter Martin in the 1824 tax book, on the alphabetical list that carries the Gallatin town lots; no acreage and no town lot entered against him, which fits a Gallatin tradesman rather than a farmer. The tally columns slope and cannot be tied to his line with certainty. 1830 federal census, Sumner County: "Peter Martin / Peter H Martin". Tennessee, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1779–2008 — Peter H Martin, death 1849, Sumner County (Ancestry collection 9176, record 3819223). Retrieved 18 September 2026. Three decades of one man in one county, which is what makes the 1849 death and the 1850 widow the same family rather than two coincidences. ⚠️ The probate file was NOT opened to the page — only its index entry was seen. It is named here because it is the document that would take Joseph D. Martin's parentage from Probable to Confirmed: a Tennessee probate of this period normally names the children. Until someone reads it, the link between Peter and Joseph rests on the 1850 household [S98].
24. S1391900 U.S. Federal Census — the James H. Timberman household, Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Ancestry collection 7602, record 47094515, image 4115129_00218. Supervisor's District 6, Enumeration District 159, Ward 5, 2nd Division, sheet 2 B, house 8, dwelling 38, family 44, enumerated 1 June 1900 by John Shadrach. Read from the image at full resolution — 3933 × 3947 px, 21 September 2026; read-only, nothing accepted, attached or edited. Lines 71–75: James H. Timberman, head, June 1858, age 41, married 14 years, Veterinary Surgeon, born New Jersey of New Jersey parents; Louisa E., wife, June 1863, age 36, 3 children born, 3 living, born Pennsylvania of German parents; James H., son, Oct 1886, At School; George W., son, Feb 1892; Albert, son, Aug 1893. The third independent source for the June 1858 birth. The tree carried 4 January 1858; the 1919 Pennsylvania death certificate [S93] gives June / Fourth / 1858 in longhand, and this census, taken nineteen years earlier while he was alive, gives June 1858 and corroborates itself on the age column — 41 at the 1 June 1900 census date is right for a 4 June birth and would be 42 for a 4 January one. ⚠ The day is not on this page: a 1900 schedule carries month and year and no day, so the fourth is not given here; the 1858 township birth return settles it S374. He is already a Veterinary Surgeon here, nineteen years before the certificate records the same trade — and, as there, the occupation exists only in the image and not in Ancestry's transcription. Ancestry indexes the entire household as "Limberman"; the enumerator's looped capital is a T, and that is a transcription artefact, not a name variant.
25. S1611860 U.S. Federal Census — Jane Martin, widow and head of household, District No. 12, Sumner County, Tennessee. Ancestry collection 7667, record 22611436, image 4297417_00518. Post Office Gallatin, enumerated 16 June 1860, page No. 30, dwelling and family 209, lines 30–32. Read from the image at full resolution — 4690 × 6621 px, 130/130 DeepZoom tiles, 22 September 2026. Jane Martin, 62, F, Farmer, real estate $9,240, personal estate $11,840, born TENNESSEE; Jo. D. Martin, 27, M, do [Farmer], born Tennessee; M. L. Martin, 21, F, born Tennessee. The estate figures are written once on line 30 with a brace drawn down the three lines. 🔑 JOSEPH D. MARTIN IS IN THE WIDOW'S HOUSE A SECOND TIME, TEN YEARS ON. The tree held him only from his 1866 marriage forward S95, with the link to Peter and Jane resting on the single 1850 household S98. Here he is again under the same roof, now entered as a Farmer in his own right, six years before he married Nannie Chenault. ⚠ It does NOT upgrade Probable to Confirmed, and the reason is the kind of evidence: a census names a household, not a parentage. Ancestry's own index says inferred child, and inferred is the right word. Two household enumerations make coincidence hard to argue; neither states the word "son". Peter's 1849 Sumner County probate S107 was the document that would close it — and it has been read, 22 September 2026, as [S172]: Joseph D Martin is named in his father's own hand, inside the children's division. 🔑 Her birthplace reads TENNESSEE for the second time, on her own line, ten years after the 1850 sheet said the same S98. Nothing read in this research gives Virginia for HER. Her husband Peter Hines Martin was born in Virginia S105, and a birthplace copied sideways from a husband to a wife is the commonest error in an online tree. 🔑 She was worth better than $21,000, in her own name. $6,000 of real estate in 1850; $9,240 real and $11,840 personal here, in a household of three, with Farmer in her own occupation column both times. 🔴 THE TWO AGE COLUMNS CANNOT BOTH BE RIGHT. 1850 gives 56 (born 1793–94); this sheet gives 62 (born 1797–98). Ten years apart the ages advance six. The disagreement is printed rather than smoothed: the 1818 marriage S162 favours the earlier year (a bride of about 24 rather than 20), the 1820 tally leans the later S163, and 1840 is neutral S164. No record read gives a month or a day. The year is UNSETTLED and a row stands in the review queue. ⚠ M. L. Martin's initials are not clean — a large looped capital reading M or Jn — and the age reads 21 with 24 possible. At 24 she is the Louisa, 14, of 1850; at 21 she matches no child on that sheet. Transcribed as read, not resolved. ⚠ Abram Martin, 65, born NORTH CAROLINA, $10,000 real and $11,950 personal, stands two dwellings from Jane in 1860 and two doors from her in 1850, with Mary Martin 53, Malvina 26 and John Franklin 20. A brother of Peter is the obvious hypothesis and it is recorded as a hypothesis only: Peter was born 1793 and Abram about 1795, Peter's grave names his own father John — the name Abram gave a son — but Peter was born in Virginia and Abram in North Carolina, and that is a real obstacle, not a detail. Captured, not researched, not added to the tree.
26. S162Tennessee marriage register, 1818 — the COUNTY RECORD behind the Dodd index: Peter H. Martin to Jane Bell, 2 July 1818, with the officiant named. Ancestry collection 1169 (Tennessee, U.S., Marriage Records, 1780–2002), record 4572939, image VRMUSATN1780_040401-00127; a bound clerk's register under the printed heading "MARRIAGE RECORD, 1818", opening pp. 196/197. Read from the image at full resolution — 4644 × 3432 px, 70/70 DeepZoom tiles, 22 September 2026. The fifth entry on the left leaf, verbatim: "Martin, Peter H. — To — Jane Bell. Issued July 2d 1818. I solemnized the rite of matrimony between the within named parties on the 2d day of July 1818. Wm. Hume, V.D.M." 🔑 THE MARRIAGE IS NOW ON THE COUNTY REGISTER, NOT ON A TRANSCRIPTION. This site carried the date from Tennessee, U.S., Compiled Marriages, 1784–1825 (Dodd) S106, and flagged it in its own words: a compiled marriage index is a transcription, not the county record. This is the record that index was compiled from. The date does not move by a day. S162 is cited ahead of S106, and S106's caveat comes off — the entry is kept, because the Dodd index is what found the marriage. 🔑 The licence and the wedding fell on the same day — issued 2 July 1818, solemnized 2 July 1818. They did not wait. 🔑 The officiant is named for the first time: Rev. WILLIAM HUME, V.D.M. — Verbi Dei Minister, a Presbyterian minister, and the busiest name on the opening: he also married Mann to Alexander and Tait to Coleman that same fortnight. He appears nowhere else in this research. ⚠ The page itself names no county. Davidson County comes from the collection and the film, not from the leaf; the entries around it are ordinary Middle Tennessee returns of June–August 1818 under ministers Wm. Anderson, Benj. Darrow, Levin Edney, Joseph Love, Edmund Lanier, Joel Anderson, R. W. Oakley J.P. and James Whitsitt. ⚠ A marriage register of 1818 has no age column, no birthplace column and no parentage column. It cannot touch Jane's birth year directly — it bears on it only by inference, a bride of about 24 on the tree's c.1794 against about 20 on the 1860 reading S161. ⚠ It names no parent of either party. Jane's maiden surname is the whole of what it gives about her family.
27. S1631820 U.S. Federal Census — Peter H. Martin, town of GALLATIN, Sumner County, Tennessee: a MANUFACTURER employing four. Ancestry collection 7734, record 1017030, image 4433291_00158 (one read closes two hints, Peter Hines Martin and Jane Bell). Read from the image at full resolution — 3716 × 4500 px, 72/72 DeepZoom tiles, 22 September 2026. Enumerated 7 August 1820. The sheet carries two fragments: the close of the town of Gallatin list, ending with the clerk's note "Whole amount in Gallatin 429", and below it the start of the Sumner County list. Peter H. Martin stands on the second line of the Gallatin fragment, above Mathew Neale and John Perkins. His tally: free white males 10–15: 1, 16–25: 2 (of whom 16–18: 1), 26–44: 1 — Peter himself, 26 that August; free white females under 10: 1, 16–25: 1; Persons engaged in Manufactures: 4; slaves, females under 14: 1. Totals: 6 free white, 1 enslaved, 7. 🔑 HE WAS NOT A FARMER, AND THIS IS THE EARLIEST OCCUPATIONAL FACT THE RECORD HOLDS FOR HIM. Four hands in manufactures, in the town of Gallatin, in 1820, is a workshop. Nothing in this research had ever said what Peter Hines Martin did for a living. The line page already knew he was enumerated at Gallatin in 1820; this is that entry, read rather than cited. 🔑 A daughter under 10, in August 1820 — an earlier child who has never been named. It is consistent with the 2 July 1818 marriage S162. Every known child of this couple is a decade later — David c.1831, Joseph 1832, Martha c.1834, Louisa c.1836. A tally is not a name: this is a lead, not a person. 🔴 ON JANE'S AGE THIS SHEET LEANS AGAINST THE TREE, AND IT IS ONE TICK ON A BOUNDARY. There is one female 16–25 and none 26–44. A woman born about 1794 was 26 on 7 August 1820 and belongs in the upper bracket; born 1797–98 she was 22 and belongs where the mark is. So 1820 leans the same way the 1860 schedule does S161, against the 1850 schedule and the tree S98. It settles nothing and is not acted on — a bracket boundary on a form notorious for them, reported by the head of household. But the "prefer 1850, prefer c.1794" reading now has two records leaning the other way, not one. ⚠ The two males 16–25 and one 10–15 are too old to be this couple's children — apprentices or journeymen in the manufactory, or younger siblings. Unnamed, and not claimed as kin. ⚠ One enslaved female under 14, recorded because the page records it. By 1840 the household held ten S164. ⚠ Gallatin neighbours on the fragment include William Trousdale, later Governor of Tennessee, and John Perkins, who reappears on the 1840 sheet.
28. S1641840 U.S. Federal Census — P. H. Martin, Sumner County, Tennessee: a household of twelve, six sons, eight in agriculture and ten enslaved people. Ancestry collection 8057, record 3431539, image 4410645_00752. (No. 4.) SCHEDULE of the whole number of persons within the division allotted to A. D. Bugg(?), page 20, row 8. Read from the image at full resolution — 4062 × 3312 px, 56/56 DeepZoom tiles, 22 September 2026. Free white males: 5–9: 2, 10–14: 2, 15–19: 2, 40–49: 1. Free white females: under 5: 2, 15–19: 1, 20–29: 1, 40–49: 1. Total free white 12 · persons employed in agriculture 8 · total slaves 10 (2 males under 10, 4 males 10–23, 1 male 24–35, 1 female under 10, 2 females 10–23). 🔑 The two boys aged 5–9 land exactly on David and Joseph of the 1850 sheet S98 — born c.1831 and c.1832, so 8 and 9 in 1840. 🔑 SIX SONS, born roughly 1821–1835, of whom only two are named anywhere in this research. With the unnamed daughter of the 1820 tally S163, this couple had a large family and most of it is unnamed. 🔑 The scale of the household is now documented. In 1820 it held one enslaved person; by 1840 it held ten, with eight people working the land. This is the trajectory that ends in Jane's $6,000 in 1850 and better than $21,000 in 1860 S161. It is recorded plainly because the page records it. ⚠ On Jane's age this sheet is NEUTRAL and cannot be used either way. A female 40–49 covers births from 1790 to 1800 and therefore contains both candidate years. ⚠ A one-bracket slip, recorded not reconciled: Martha, 6 in 1840 on the 1850 arithmetic, has no 5–9 female slot; the enumerator entered two girls under 5 where the 1850 ages want one under 5 and one 5–9. ⚠ Ancestry indexes the name "P K Martin". The image reads P. H. ⚠ The identification is on the name, the county, the year and the 40–49 brackets — Peter turned 46 in November 1840 and Jane, on c.1794, was 46. An 1840 schedule names only the head of the family; every other person on the row is a tally mark. ⚠ Woody Martin heads a family on the same page of the same division, and Jno. McMurry is a neighbour — the surname borne by the Mary McMurry, 7, in Jane's 1850 household S98. Both captured, neither explained.
29. S172The last will and testament of Peter H. Martin — Sumner County, Tennessee, written in his own hand 30 June 1849, proved August Term 1849. Tennessee, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1779–2008; Sumner County Will Books 1789–1904; Ancestry record 3819223, image 004776071_00479. Read from the image at full resolution, 22 September 2026. "I Peter H. Martin of the County of Sumner and State of Tennessee, being in my usual health and of sound and disposing mind, do make and ordain this my last will and Testament." To his wife Jane Martin, for life: the home plantation, the timbered tract bought of William Walton, the horses Charley and Rhoda and choice of three more, eight cattle, the farm gear, a year's provisions, the household furniture, twenty stock hogs, and "Choice of my Servants to the Number of three." The residue "to be sold at public sale for the benefit of my children." "My Town property to be Sold at a Credit for the benefit of my Children. Robert B. Martin has had an advance of three hundred & seventy dollars for which he will account to the other children in the division of my estate … The Shoe Store may be sold to the Crutchers & R. B. Martin and the latter allowed to retain the use of the Capital I put in." "To David B. Martin I give … a dark bay filly four years old. To Joseph D Martin I give unto a light bay filly now two years old." "To Mr. Wm Bell I leave a house and a support with his Sister as long as he Shall choose to accept it." "Witness that I have written with my own hand this 30th day of June 1849 … P. H. Martin (Seal)." Witnesses Thomas Crutcher, J. B. Wilson, W. H. Crutcher; proved in open court, Sumner County Court, August Term 1849, on the oaths of Thomas Crutcher and Wm H Crutcher; recorded by Wm S. Munday, Clerk. 🔑 This is the document the line page named as the one that would close the Joseph question [S107] — and it had never been read. 🔑 Joseph D Martin is named by his father, inside the passage disposing of the estate for the benefit of my children, in the same breath as David B. Martin and immediately after Robert B. Martin is told to account to the other children in the division of my estate. Three named Martins stand inside the class "my children" in the testator's own instrument. ⚠ The caveat travels with it: the will never writes the word son beside any of the three names. The filiation is carried by the structure of the bequest, not by a kinship term. It is far stronger than the two census households the link rested on [S98] [S161], and it is still not the word. 🔑 William Bell was Jane's BROTHER — with his Sister, in Peter's hand. S98's open brother or uncle is answered, and it explains why he was living in her house in 1850: her husband provided for it. 🔑 Peter Hines Martin kept a SHOE STORE, with capital still in it in 1849 and partners in the Crutchers, and held town property apart from the plantation. Read with Persons engaged in Manufactures: 4 at Gallatin in 1820 [S163], it is one trade across thirty years — and David, 19, "Clerk" in 1850 [S98] was clerking in his father's store. 🔑 Holographic, and four days before his death — written 30 June 1849, and his grave gives 4 July 1849 [S105]. 🔑 Nine people in an instrument Ancestry indexes under one name: Jane Martin, Robert B., David B. and Joseph D Martin, Wm Bell, William Walton, and three witnesses. ⚠ Ancestry's Probate Date 30 Jun 1849 is the date the will was written and sealed; probate is the August Term. ⚠ The will bequeaths Servants by choice of three; it names none of them.
30. S1741830 U.S. Federal Census — Peter H Martin, County of Sumner, State of Tennessee. Ancestry collection 8058, record 754848, image 4409701_00274; stamped 137. Read from the image at full resolution, 22 September 2026. One read closes two hints — the same row is served under Peter and under Jane. Peter H Martin — the initial is plainly H, not M and not K — MALES: under 5 = 3 · 5–10 = 3 · 10–15 = 2 · 15–20 = 2 · 30–40 = 1; FEMALES: 5–10 = 1 · 10–15 = 1 · 15–20 = 1 · 30–40 = 1. Fifteen free white persons. 🔑 Thirteen people under twenty in a household formed in July 1818 [S162]. On 1 June 1830 the eldest child of that marriage could be eleven; two boys of 15–20 and two of 10–15 cannot be Peter and Jane's children. With four hands in manufactures at Gallatin in 1820 [S163] and a shoe store still carrying his capital in 1849 [S172], apprentices and journeymen boarding in the house is the natural reading — stated as a hypothesis; the schedule says nothing. It is the first thing on this line that explains the household's size. ⚠ Jane's birth year: NEUTRAL. One female 30–40 covers births from 1790 to 1800 and contains both candidate years (c.1794 and c.1797–98), exactly as the 1840 bracket does [S164]. This sheet must not be cited for her birth year either way. 🔴 The enslaved-persons columns are NOT on the served image. The sheet ends at the free-white-females column; the 1830 form carries those tallies on the facing leaf, which was not fetched. Ancestry indexes Total Slaves 10; that figure is an index of a leaf not read, and is cited as indexed, never as read. ⚠ The enumerator's name runs off the right edge of the served image. Neighbours on the page: Reuben D. Warner above, Josiah W. Baldridge below.

The same siblings and Jacob North are with the widow Eva Harbauer in 1880 [S176]. ⚠ The parents are on page 95, which was not fetched.

Neighbours in 1880, married about 1886 [S139]. The identification is by name and age only and is stated as such. ⚠ The birthplace columns on this page drift against the name rows — Louisa's line carries Bavaria three times, Eva's Pennsylvania/Ireland/Ireland. Ancestry's born Bavaria for Louisa is built on the drift; 1870 and 1910 both say Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania stands.

Confirmed James H. Timberman, male, born June 4 1858 at Allowaystown, son of John Timberman & Rebecca; father a carpenter, residence Allowaystown; recorded 15 July 1858. The first contemporary record of his birth; it settles the day, which had rested on his 1919 death certificate alone. A tree birth of 4 January 1858 is wrong.
54. S375Boyd's Wilkes-Barre City Directory, 1884, p. 245. Ancestry record 143141099. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed “Timberman James H., veterinary surgeon, 96 Public sq., h do (see adv)”, and his advertisement: “Dr. J. H. Timberman, Veterinary Surgeon. Member of Penn'a College of Veterinary Surgeons.

This is the son (1876–1959), not his father Joseph Daniel Martin (1832–1899). The census age puts his birth about 1878; his draft card and death certificate give December 1876.
56. S3771900 U.S. Federal Census — Mrs Nan Martin household, District 10, Sumner Co., Tennessee (ED 118, sheet 12-B, lines 60–64). Ancestry record 61310365. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

Ancestry indexes her as Hannah; the image reads Nannie. This sheet gives her parents' birthplaces as Tennessee; the 1900 sheet (S377) says Kentucky.
58. S3851870 U.S. Federal Census — 3rd Civil District, Sumner Co., Tennessee, P.O. Castalian Springs, page 6, line 1. Ancestry record 14378915. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed “Chenault Chas”, 11, born Tennessee, attended school within the year; enumerated 19 July 1870. He is the last line of a household that begins on page 5, which this image does not show; Ancestry's index places him with David and Louisa Chenault and their children.
59. S3861900 U.S. Federal Census — C. C. Chenault household, Civil District 1, Sumner Co., Tennessee (ED 109, sheet 6-B, line 51). Ancestry record 61297225. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

His brother M. W. (Milton) Chenault farms four dwellings down the sheet. Also Ancestry record 61297253 (the same page, filed under Milton). Mordalite is the census taker's spelling of Maudante.

63. S390Sumner County, Tennessee, marriage bond book, p. 135 — Arthur Harris McConnell and Martha Elizabeth Martin, 12 April 1911. Ancestry record 4873653. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed Bond of Arthur Harris McConnell, of Sumner County, licensed to marry Martha Elizabeth Martin; surety J. D. Martin. The bond gives her middle name, Elizabeth. Her father died in 1899, so the surety is her brother Joseph Daniel Martin Jr. This is the licence date, not the wedding day; no return is on the page.
64. S3911920 U.S. Federal Census — Arthur H. McConnell household, 8 Drummond Precinct, Fremont Co., Idaho (ED 161, sheet 3A, lines 43–47). Ancestry record 101723542.

Next door, David Chenault, 80, and Louisa, 69; his brother Harvy four dwellings on. Faint pencil marks in the insane, maimed and cannot-read/write columns on his line are not published: the same marks run across an unrelated household, and 1910 shows him reading and writing.
69. S399Sumner County, Tennessee, marriage licence — Milton W. Chenault and Nannie E. Dunn, 26 February 187_. Ancestry record 1653663. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

No minister's return is on this image.
70. S4001910 U.S. Federal Census — M. W. Chenault household, Civil District No. 1, Sumner Co., Tennessee (ED 131, sheet 5A, lines 44–50). Ancestry record 27544642.

This sheet gives Tennessee as the birthplace of his parents and of Nannie; 1870 and 1880 say Kentucky.
71. S401Sumner County, Tennessee, County Marriage Record, p. 134, entry 6 — N. J. Harsh and Louisa B. Martin, 17 October 1888. Ancestry record 5605204. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

Nashville 1906), Emma Louise (1896), Amanda Catherine (1899), Philip Horace (1902), Joseph Cheselton (1904), Martin (1908) and Mary Bell (1911). The same book as S204 (page 175). A published genealogy, not a primary record; its 1890 marriage year agrees with the 1910 census (S411) but not with 1900 (S409).
77. S4091900 U.S. Federal Census — P. H. Rutherford household, 10th Civil District, Sumner Co., Tennessee (ED 118, sheet 15A, lines 48–50). Ancestry record 61310653.

H., born July 1892. The rest of the household (three daughters and a servant, per the index) is on sheet 15B, not yet examined. Married 9 years here points to c.1891; 1910 says 20 years (c.1890).
78. S410City of Nashville, Tennessee, death certificate no. 1106 — Nannie Bell Rutherford, 20 August 1906. Ancestry record 22516515. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

Rutherford, informant, of Gallatin R.F.D. 3; mother's maiden name Mary Martin; buried at Gallatin. The father gave his own initials as P. H. The reverse of Mary's childhood carte de visite reads “Mrs. T. H. Rutherford”; every record here says P., so the T is taken as a misread P.
79. S4111910 U.S. Federal Census — Philip H. Rutherford household, Long Hollow Pike, Civil District No. 4, Sumner Co., Tennessee (ED 134, sheet 8A, lines 12–19). Ancestry record 129787485.

Written as Mary A. here; M. or M. M. on every other sheet. Married at 22 fits 1890–91.
82. S4141940 U.S. Federal Census — Mary Rutherford household, Cordell City, Washita Co., Oklahoma (ED 75-5A, sheet 2A, lines 34–36). Ancestry record 93015860. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

The latest dated record of her alive. A death year of 1955 on an unsourced member photo is not used. Ancestry's index reads “Marcy M”.
84. S424Tennessee, U.S., Marriage Records — Wilson County marriage record, no. 181 (printed pp. 382–383): Chas. C. Chenault to Mandante Bradley, 15 November 1893. Ancestry record 3220078. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed Licence issued at Lebanon, Tenn., on 15 November 1893 “to Chas. C. Chenault to marry Mandante Bradley”, Wm. Harkreader, clerk; the return, Wilson County, says the rite was solemnized the same day, 15 November 1893, by T. B. Larimore, M.G. The bride's given name reads Mandante, or equally Maudante: n and u cannot be told apart in this hand. The censuses give Mordalite and Mordante; the tree's Maudante is kept and the spelling stays open.
85. S425Tennessee death certificate no. 8387 — Charlie C. Chenault, 19 March 1936, Castalian Springs, Sumner County. Ancestry record 654969. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

The middle name Cornelius comes from an informant in Murfreesboro; the tree has Coker. Neither is settled, and both are recorded. Gallatin is his burial place, not where he died.
86. S426Colonial Families of the United States of America, p. 429 — the Quisenberry family: Louisa, wife of David Chenault. Ancestry record 450007999. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Probable “I. Louisa, b. in Madison County, Ky., 29th September, 1811; m. 25th October, 1827, David Chenault of the same county; they settled in Sumner County, Tenn.; 14 children.” A compiled genealogy, not an original record. Its marriage date agrees with S96. The count of 14 children is the book's and has not been checked against the censuses. Louisa's father is on p. 428, which has not been read.
87. S427Tennessee death certificate, file no. 26 — Milton W. Chenault, 27 January 1917, Castalian Springs, Sumner County. Ancestry record 15187030. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

Chenault, born Kentucky; mother “Quinsberry”, born Kentucky; buried in the Chenault Graveyard, 28 January 1917. Ancestry attached this record to his father and indexed the mother as “Winesberry”; the image reads Quinsberry. The day of birth is overwritten, but the stated age counts back exactly to 1 June 1849.
88. S4281850 U.S. Federal Census — Robert B. Martin household, District 5, Sumner County, Tennessee (dwelling 463, lines 31–34). Ancestry record 6857995. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

Ancestry's index reads the wife as “Milda”; the image, and the later censuses, give Urilda. The page names no parents.
89. S4291860 U.S. Federal Census — R. B. Martin household, Beat 2, Cherokee County, Texas, P.O. Rusk (dwellings 426–427). Ancestry record 34989871. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

P., 30; Charles H., 10, and Jennie B., 8, both born Tennessee; Laura B.(?), 6, born Texas; enumerated 26 June 1860. Next door: D. B. Martin, 29, merchant, born Tennessee, with S[usa]n W., 23, born North Carolina, and Ella, 1 month. The page states no relationship between the two households. The children's birthplaces put the move from Tennessee to Texas between about 1852 and 1854.
90. S4301870 U.S. Federal Census — Robert B. Martin household, Rusk, Cherokee County, Texas (page 6, dwelling 32, lines 10–17). Ancestry record 5079851. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

91. S4311880 U.S. Federal Census — R. B. Martin household, East Half of Rusk, Cherokee County, Texas (ED 12, page 4, lines 12–14). Ancestry record 7324308. Image examined, read 24 September 2026. Confirmed R. B. Martin, 53, widowed, farmer, born Tennessee, father born Virginia, mother born Tennessee; sons Charles H., 30, schoolteacher, born Tennessee, and Percy, 16, born Texas; enumerated 3–4 June 1880. The parents' birthplaces match Peter Hines Martin (born Virginia) and Jane Bell (born Tennessee). That is consistent with his being their son, but it is not proof, and he stays Probable.
92. S432U.S., Appointments of U. S. Postmasters, vol. 14 (1842–1858), ff. 488–489 — Gallatin (court house), Sumner County, Tennessee. Ancestry record 747676. Image examined, read 24 September 2026.

The page gives only a name, a town and a date. That this is the Robert B. of Peter H. Martin's will is a reading of place and time, not a stated fact: his successor was appointed six weeks after Peter died at Gallatin.
93. S445Tennessee, U.S., Marriage Records, 1780–2002 — Sumner County marriage bond, Colby Chenault and Araminta Harper, 8 May 1854. Ancestry record 1650318. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Bond of Colby Chenault to marry Araminta Harper, Sumner County, Tennessee, 8 May 1854; surety T. L. B. Brown(?). A bond, not a return, so it proves the intent to marry on that date. The 1910 census (S450) says the couple had been married 55 years, which fits. The surety's name is hard to read and he is not taken to be kin.
94. S4461860 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Chenault household, District 2, Sumner County, Tennessee (P.O. Enon College). Ancestry record 22607022. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby Chenault, 29, farmer, born Kentucky, real estate $8,000, personal estate $2,200; Araminta, 24; James, 4; Allis, 1; and a farm labourer. Their first census together. The labourer is not kin.
95. S4471870 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Chenault household, 3rd Civil District, Sumner County, Tennessee (P.O. Castalian Springs). Ancestry record 4931289. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby Chenault, 39, born Kentucky; Araminta, 31; Jas., 14; Alice, 11; Nanny, 9. The household continues on the next page, which has not been read, so the rest of the children are not listed here.
96. S4481880 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Chenault household, 1st District, Sumner County, Tennessee (ED 208). Ancestry record 16810567. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby Chenault, 49, born Kentucky, father and mother both born Kentucky; Araminta, 44; and ten children. Kentucky-born parents fit David Chenault and Louisa Quisenberry, but the census does not name them. His parentage still rests on the 1850 household (S97) and Quisenberry Memorials p. 67 (S333).
97. S4491900 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Chenault household, 5th Civil District, Trousdale County, Tennessee. Ancestry record 61355682. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby Chenault, born May 1831; Arminta, born March 1836, mother of 9 children, 9 living; with Sewell, Ernest, Nannie and Sallie. Used for the residence and the family count only. Every birthplace on this household, his included, is written “Tennessee”; the other four censuses say Kentucky for him, and that is kept.
98. S4501910 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Chenault household, 3rd Civil District (Coles Ferry Pike), Sumner County, Tennessee. Ancestry record 27545091. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby Chenault, 78, born Kentucky, married 55 years, marked “Ca”, a Confederate Army veteran; Arminta, 74, 9 children born, 9 living; with Nannie L. and Sallie, a teacher. The census veterans' column gives no unit. A Tennessee Confederate pension or service file has not been searched yet.
99. S451Colonial Families of the United States of America, p. 428 — Quisenberry: Colby B. Quisenberry. Ancestry record 7977. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Probable Colby, sixth of the thirteen children of James Quisenberry's first marriage, born 7 July 1788, Fayette County, Virginia (now Clark County, Kentucky); died 30 December 1870; married Lucy 16 December 1810. The book lists eleven half-siblings from his father's second marriage. A compiled family history, not a record, so it is marked probable. Kentucky was still part of Virginia in 1788, which is why other sources say Virginia and the censuses say Kentucky. Quisenberry Memorials (S333) gives the death as 31 December 1870; the two books disagree by a day.
100. S490U.S., School Yearbooks — Milestones, Ward-Belmont School, Nashville, 1935, p. 68: French Club. Ancestry record 205222076. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed The French Club photograph, bottom row: “Louise Timberman”, eleventh from left. The same yearbook has her in the F. F. Club (S395).
101. S493Kentucky, U.S., Death Records — City of Lexington, Registered No. 217: Colby B. Quisenberry, 1907. Ancestry record 601240356. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby B. Quisenberry [Jr.], widower, born 31 August 1822, Madison County, Kentucky, died 20 March 1907 at Avon, Fayette County; father Colby B. Quisenberry, born Virginia; mother Lucy Bush; informant his son Colby B. Quisenberry Jr.; buried Lexington Cemetery. The informant was a grandson. Three censuses and his brother's 1914 certificate (S494) put the elder Colby's birth in Kentucky.
102. S494Kentucky, U.S., Death Records — Montgomery County, file no. 8269: John Martin Quisenberry, 1914. Ancestry record 751294136. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed John Martin Quisenberry, retired farmer, born 26 April 1833, Clark County, Kentucky, died 10 March 1914; father Colby Quisenberry, born Madison County; mother Lucy Bush, born Clark County; informant Sarah Frances Quisenberry; buried Machpelah Cemetery, Mt. Sterling. Lucy's birthplace comes from her son's informant, so it is secondary.
103. S4951850 U.S. Federal Census — Colby B. Quisenbery household, District 2, Clark County, Kentucky. Ancestry record 16999313. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Dwelling 211, 17 August 1850: Colby B., 61, farmer, real estate about $41,580; Lucy, 60; Tandy, 24; Elkanah, 19; John M., 17 (all born Kentucky); and a labourer, Samuel Kapell. A Tandy Quisenbery, 59, farms two dwellings away. One page, two hints (record 16999314 for Lucy).
104. S4961860 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Quesinbery household, District 2, Clark County, Kentucky (P.O. Winchester). Ancestry record 39306011. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed 14 July 1860: Colby, 71, farmer, real estate $30,600; Lucy B., 70; Elkanah, 27; Martin, 25, shoe merchant; Sarah, 20; and two Perkins children, Leslie C., 11, and Rachael B., 9. One page, two hints (record 39306012 for Lucy). The page does not say who the Perkins children were.
105. S4971870 U.S. Federal Census — Colby Quisenberry household, Precinct 6, Clark County, Kentucky (P.O. Winchester). Ancestry record 22007133. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed August 1870: Colby, 80, retired farmer, real estate $12,000, marked “Insane”; Lucy, 78. One page, two hints (record 18428720 for Lucy). He was alive in August 1870, so the family books' 1870 death falls after the census.
106. S498U.S., Sons of the American Revolution Membership Applications — national no. 27139, James Marvin Hinkle, 1914. Ancestry record 315470. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Probable A great-grandson's lineage: Colby Burris Quisenberry (1788–1870) and Lucy Bush (1790–1872), married 1810; Lucy the daughter of Francis Bush and Rachel Martin (his second wife); Francis Bush born 23 February 1750, Orange County, Virginia, died 1836, Clark County, a private in the 2nd Virginia. The supplemental line gives Colby's parents as James Quisenberry (1759–1830) and Jane Burris, married 1776. A compiled lineage of 1914, not a record, so the parents are probable. The cover sheet is record 315462.
107. S499DAR Lineage Book, p. 189, no. 88597: Miss Elizabeth B. Karr. Ancestry record 2609444. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Probable Descent through Colby Burris Quisenberry Jr. (1822–1907), who married Sallie Tribble in 1847, from Colby Burris Quisenberry (1788–1870) and Lucy Bush (1790–1872), married 1810, and from James Quisenberry (1759–1830), born Spotsylvania County, Virginia, died Clark County, Kentucky, a private in the Virginia militia. A printed compilation. It agrees with the SAR application (S498).
108. S500DAR Lineage Book, p. 101, no. 141325: Mrs. Electra Helm Withers. Ancestry record 3600439. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Probable Descent through Joyce Duncan Quisenberry (1828–1911), wife of Joseph H. Withers, from Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy Bush; Francis Bush married second Rachel Martin (1767–1860), daughter of Lieut. John Martin and Rachel Pierce. It gives Jane Burris's birth as 1739, where the SAR application (S498) says 1759. Both are recorded.
109. S503Tennessee, U.S., Death Records — certificate 21866: Nathan James Harsh, 1934. Ancestry record 200652. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Nathan James Harsh, husband of Louise, born 2 December 1860, died 10 September 1934 at Gaston Hospital, Lebanon; father George Harsh, mother Talitha Newby; informant J. D. Harsh, Gallatin; buried Gallatin. The certificate gives George's birthplace as Tennessee; the 1870 census (S504) says Pennsylvania, and is the better witness.
110. S5041870 U.S. Federal Census — George Harsh household, Davidson County, Tennessee. Ancestry record 4468172. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed George Harsh, 43, dry goods merchant, born Pennsylvania; Talitha, 36; Philip W.; Mary; Nathan, 10; Caroline; and a younger child whose name is hard to read.
111. S549Tennessee, U.S., Death Records — certificate 52-24667: Jacob Anderson Chenault, 1952. Ancestry record 16267546. Image examined, read 25 September 2026.

G, 9th (Ward's) Tennessee Cavalry, enlisted 1 November 1862; died 4 April 1918; buried Gallatin Cemetery. Applicant Mrs. D. C. Harper, Gallatin; stone shipped April 1943. The War Department wrote “not found” against its own records, so the unit is the applicant's claim.
114. S568U.S. World War II Draft Registration Card — Martin Rutherford, Cordell, Oklahoma, 1940. Ancestry record 1214071803. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Martin Rutherford, 32, born 2 April 1908 at Gallatin, Tennessee, of 417 West 11th, Cordell; the person who will always know his address is his mother, Mrs. P. H. Rutherford, at the same address. Only the front of the card was fetched.
115. S572Tennessee marriage licence, Sumner County, 31 December 1890. Ancestry record 5597708. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Licence for P. H. Rutherford and Mary Martin, given at the clerk's office 31 December 1890 by Harris Brown, county court clerk. Only the licence half is on the image; the return of the marriage is not.

122. S6191880 U.S. census — Clayton Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, ED 89, p. 38. Ancestry record 49591841. Image examined, read 25 September 2026.

Probable No. 30, Francis Bush, enlisted 14 February 1778 for one year, present. A muster roll gives a name only; the match to the Francis Bush born 1750 in Orange County, Virginia, rests on the name.
129. S6501820 U.S. census — Clark County, Kentucky. Ancestry record 71929. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Confirmed Rachel Bush, head: one woman 45 or over, two young men 16–26 and a girl 10–16. Next to William, Hudson and John Martin Jr.; Zachariah Bush on the same sheet.

It gives the marriage as 1846; the bond and two books give October 1847. The two books call Hinkle Joseph, not Josiah.
139. S692Tennessee death certificate, 1931, Robertson County, no. 1598. Ancestry record 30562893. Image examined, read 26 September 2026.

147. S726Kentucky birth register, Clark County, 1858. Ancestry record 150265469. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable 30 December: Mariah, female, born alive near Winchester, Black, enslaved; owner Colby B. Quisenberry, of Clark County. Colby Burris Quisenberry and his son Colby B.

148. S727Clark County, Kentucky, marriage register (later copy), p. 98. Ancestry record 1655638. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable James Quisenberry and Cloey Ship, married 24 December 1811, by James Haggard. On the next page a James Quisenberry is the officiant at three marriages. The copy gives no ages or parents, so it does not show which James Quisenberry this is.

Probable “C B Quisenberry”: one man and one woman aged 50–59, four men aged 20–29, and eight children and young people. Thacker and Jackson Quisenberry head young families a few lines below. A head-only census: the initials, the age brackets and the county are the only link. The slave page is not in this image.
151. S749Noble Hamilton Pace, Pace: One of America's Earliest Emigrant Families, p. 36. Ancestry record 4402087619. Image examined, read 25 September 2026. Probable Rachel, born 22 August 1768 in Fluvanna County, Virginia, died 1860, married Francis Bush on 27 February (year left blank) as his second wife; a daughter of John Martin and Rachel Pace. A compiled family book, not a record; it cites Rev. Douglas' Register of Goochland County. The index's “2017” marriage year is not on the page.
152. S750Genealogical Memoranda of the Quisenberry Family, appendix p. 192: epitaphs of Rev. James and Jane Quisenberry, Clark County, Kentucky. Ancestry record 191. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable Jane Quisenberry, “consort of Rev. James Quisenberry, to whom she was married December 4, 1776”, thirteen children; born in Orange County, Virginia, 5 July 1759; died 3 November 1811, aged 52 years, 3 months and 27 days. Rev.

The page also prints an 1895 War Department letter on Thomas Burrace (Burris)'s service in the 3rd Virginia, 1776–1779. A family book's transcription of the stones, not the stones themselves. The ages at death agree with the dates given.
153. S751DAR Lineage Book, p. 197, no. 112604: Miss Lilla May Duncan. Ancestry record 3494636. Image examined, read 26 September 2026.

Probable John Martin Quisenberry, born 26 April 1833, married Sarah Moore of Montgomery County on 25 October 1859 and lived at Ewington; “named for his maternal great-grandfather, John Martin”. Children: Cora, 6 November 1861; Ivanora, 16 September 1863; Audley, 27 January 1865, “and, I think, four other children”. The page ends: Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy had thirteen children and eighty grandchildren. A compiled family book, written by his nephew.

163. S761A. C. Quisenberry, Memorials of the Quisenberry Family (1900), p. 7: “A Constructive Descent”. Ancestry record 4297926578. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable Generation 13: Aaron Quisenberry, born in Caroline County, Virginia, probably about 1715, died in Orange County in 1795, married Joyce Dudley “as is supposed”. Generation 14: Rev. James Quisenberry, born in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, 5 July 1759, died in Clark County, Kentucky, 5 August 1830, settled in Kentucky in 1783, married Jane Burris of Orange County on 4 December 1776. Generation 15: Colby Burris Quisenberry, born in Clark County (then Fayette County, Virginia) on 7 July 1788, died there 30 December 1870, married Lucy Bush of the same county on 16 December 1810. The author calls the whole descent “constructive”; generations 1–12, back to a Questenberg of about 1380, are his speculation and are not used here. The 5 July birth given to James is Jane Burris's birthday on her stone; his own epitaph (S750) says 13 June.
164. S762Colonial Families of the United States of America, p. 427: James Quisenberry. Ancestry record 7967. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable “James Quisenberry (founder of the Kentucky branch)”, born in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, 5 July 1759, died 5 August 1830; after serving in the Orange County militia he settled in 1783 in what is now Clark County, Kentucky; in the garrison of the fort at Boonesboro under Daniel Boone; an ordained Baptist minister. Married first Jane Burris, daughter of Thomas and Frances (Tandy) Burris of Orange County, and second Chloe Shipp of Clark County, 24 December 1811. Children of the first marriage begin: Joyce, born 25 October 1777, married James Duncan; Frances, born 6 October 1779, married John Bruner; Jane, born 22 February 1782, married Ambrose Bush. A compiled family history. It dates the first marriage 24 December 1776, where Jane's stone and a typescript (S750, S763) say 4 December, and gives him Jane's 5 July birthday.
165. S763Typescript family history (U.S., Family History Books), p. 59: the children of Thomas Burris. Ancestry record 4341918106. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable Item 9: Jane Burris, born 5 July “1755”, Orange County, Virginia, died 3 November 1811, married 4 December 1776 Rev. James Quisenberry (born 13 June 1759, Spotsylvania County; died 5 August 1830, Clark County, Kentucky), son of Aaron and Joyce Quisenberry, whose family moved to Orange County when he was ten; he married at seventeen Jane Burris, “who was the same age”; seven sons and six daughters. Item 10: her sister Frances Tandy Burris married on 9 December 1778 William Bush, “Captain Billy Bush” (1746–1815), son of Philip Bush Sr., founder of the Bush Settlement in Clark County. Item 11: Mourning Burris married Thomas Graves Jr., 5 February 1791. A compiled typescript that cites the Genealogical Memoranda (S750). Its 1755 is a slip: the same page makes Jane the same age as James, born 1759, and her stone gives 1759.
166. S764U.S., Sons of the American Revolution Membership Applications — national no. 27139, James Marvin Hinkle, supplemental application, 1915. Ancestry record 315493. Image examined, read 26 September 2026. Probable A supplemental on the same national number as S498, approved 11 May 1915, carrying Hinkle's line one generation further: through Emily Alice Quisenberry, James Francis Quisenberry, Colby Burris Quisenberry and Lucy Bush, and Francis Bush and Rachel Martin (1767–1860), to her parents John Martin (1746–1830) and Rachel Pierce. John Martin, born in Virginia in 1746, a private in Capt. Samuel Hawes's company, 2nd Virginia Regiment, Continental Line, enlisted 16 September 1775 for three years, on the pay roll to August 1779, settled in Clark County, Kentucky, and was granted a pension in 1820. A compiled lineage claim, not a record; the service comes from War Department files. A Pace family book (S749) names Rachel's mother Rachel Pace; this application and DAR no. 141325 (S500) say Rachel Pierce. Both are kept.
167. S772U.S., Family History Books — Ridge Runners, vol. 10 (1978), p. 83, ancestor chart. Ancestry record 4472897778. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, September 2026. Probable Francis Bush, born 20 February 1750, Orange County, Virginia; died about 1824, Clark County, Kentucky; first wife Lucy Davis, born about 1750, married about 1770 in Orange County, died before 1794; parents Philip Bush and Mary Bryan; grandparents John Bush (died 1746) and Bridget. A compiled chart with no sources cited. Its birth day (the 20th) and death (about 1824) disagree with the lineage books (23 February, 1836); all of these are compiled. A Clark County will or probate record would settle it.
168. S802Sumner County, Tennessee, administrators' and executors' settlements, p. 383: estate of Charles C. Chenault, final settlement, December 1936. Ancestry record 3363106. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 27 September 2026. Confirmed The administrators of Charles C. Chenault, deceased, qualified in the Sumner County Court on 6 April 1936 and filed their complete and final settlement in December 1936. The receipts include $863.13 on deposit in the bank, a Fidelity Mutual Life policy and refund of $2,035.65, wheat sold to Gillette Grain Co., rent on a restaurant and upstairs room, a gasoline rental from Pan American Petroleum, and a Plymouth car; Neil Chenault appears in several entries. Consistent with his death on 19 March 1936 (S425). The administrators' names and the division among the heirs are on the next page, p. 384, which has not been read. Collection: Tennessee, U.S., Wills and Probate Records.
169. S8381850 U.S. Federal Census — Jacob Young household, Northern Liberties Ward 3, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania. Ancestry collection 8054, record 4931979 (image 4205114_00307); dwelling 424, family 530, lines 40–42. Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Probable Jacob Young, 69, male, tailor, born France; Eve, 54, born France; Louisa, 17, born Pennsylvania. The family runs onto the next page, which FamilySearch indexes (1:1:M4CX-7GJ) with Lewis Harbour, Eve [“Ere”] Harbour, and Lewis, Harriet and Sarah Harbour in the same family. The first page was read from the image; the continuation is from the FamilySearch index of the same household. No relationship column, so Eva Harbauer's tie to Jacob and Eve is inferred, not stated.
170. S839FamilySearch index — U.S. Civil War widows' pension index, Eva Young Harbauer. FamilySearch 1:1:KXCR-19Y and related entries. Checked 28 September 2026. Probable “Eva Young Harbauer”, widow of Louis Harbauer. An index only. It supports her maiden name Young (Jung) but names no parents. FamilySearch 1:1:M37L-TP8 indexes her 1900 census entry (S330).
171. S856U.S., Sons of the American Revolution Membership Applications — national no. 59852 (DC Society), Ollie Ezekiel Reed, descendant of Thomas Burrus, 1940–41. Ancestry collection 2204, record 1241690 (image 32596_242525-00115). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Probable Filed 30 December 1940, approved 6 February 1941. The image is the cover and references sheet: DAR nos. 214648, 274802, 257708 [228504], Gleanings of Virginia History p. 193, the Henley Genealogy (W. B. Henley, Amherst County, 1880), and the 1782 Virginia census p. 19. The lineage page is not on this image, so it does not itself name Frances Tandy; it points to the references a later search can use.
172. S857FamilySearch index, Virginia, Births and Christenings, 1584–1917 — Rachel Martin, 1768. FamilySearch ark:/61903/1:1:VRRC-WSZ. Index only; no image read (checked 28 September 2026). Probable Rachel Martin, born 22 August 1768, christened 15 October 1768, St James Northam Parish, Goochland County, Virginia; parents John Martin and Rachel Pace. Independent of the SAR and DAR lineages, but an index with no image; it matches Rachel Martin Bush by name, parish and date only (the DAR gives 1767). A search for Rachel Bush, wife of Francis Bush, found nothing relevant.
173. S858Virginia, Select Marriages (index) — John Martin and Rachel Peace or Pace, 3 January 1757. Indexed from a printed source, FHL 975.5 V2D. Index only; no image read (checked 28 September 2026). Probable John Martin married Rachel Peace (or Pace), 3 January 1757, St James Northam Parish, Goochland County, Virginia. An index of a printed register; the page itself has not been read.
174. S859U.S., Sons of the American Revolution Membership Applications — national no. 27139, James Marvin Hinkle, supplemental application, approved 8 May 1915. Ancestry collection 2204, record 315501 (image 32596_242153-00352). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Probable “great-grandson of Anderson Chenault, born 1788, died 1854, and his wife Emily Cameron, born 1796, died 1836, married 1816”; Emily Cameron Chenault, born 1832, is the applicant's grandmother. A compiled lineage, another page of the application family in S691; only the years are given.
175. S860New Jersey return of deaths, Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, 1 June 1858 – 31 May 1859, p. 519, entry 3 — Mary Timberman. Ancestry collection 62483, record 715000 (image 004210790_00530). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Mary Timberman, female, married, 70, died [June] 6th [1858] at Upper Alloways Creek, born Upper Pittsgrove; parent Benjamin Burroughs; cause, consumption. It names her father, not her husband or children.
176. S8611850 U.S. census — Samuel Timberman household, Pilesgrove Township, Salem County, New Jersey. Ancestry collection 8054, record 4598891 (image 4201733_00195). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Enumerated 5 September 1850, stamp 191, dwelling 381, family 389: Samuel Timberman, 71, farmer; Mary Timberman, 32 [sic]; Jonathan, 22, farm hand; Judith, 30; Harriet, 20; Charles, 6; all born New Jersey. No relationships are stated. The index turns Mary's 32 into a birth in 1788; the image says 32. John H. Timberman is not in the house.
177. S862FamilySearch index, New Jersey marriages — Harriet Timberman and Moses Thomas. FamilySearch ark:/61903/1:1:HW84-6G3Z and Q29L-M4Z7. Index only; no image read (checked 28 September 2026). Probable Harriet Timberman married Moses Thomas; her parents are given as Sam'l and Mary Timberman. Independent, but gives no maiden name for Mary. FamilySearch also indexes a Samuel Timberman x Mary Ann Applegate marriage in Salem County (VW5G-Y2Y, FZK4-M9S), a second Samuel or a second wife.
178. S8661850 U.S. census — Benj. S. Harper household, District 14, Sumner County, Tennessee. Ancestry collection 8054, record 6927011 (image 4206054_00370). Image examined, read 28 September 2026.

No relationship column. Elizabeth Bell is probably Jane's child by an earlier husband.
179. S867Tennessee, U.S., Marriage Records — Sumner County marriage bond, Benjamin S. Harper and Nancy Tinsley, 30 November 1825. Ancestry collection 1169, record 1646756 (image VRMUSATN1780_047355-00754). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Bond of Benjamin S. Harper to marry Nancy Tinsley; bondsman Dickson Tucker; signed “B S Harper”. FamilySearch indexes the same bond several times (XDQ5-Q5Q, VNZY-GGG, QKH3-G6XV, QKH3-CNDM, Q2Z9-NMDB); none is independent.
180. S868Sumner County, Tennessee, marriage-record typescript, p. 135. Ancestry collection 1169, record 910357 (image VRMUSATN1780_047341-00232). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed “Benjamin S. Harper & Nancy Tinsley, Dickson Tucker, Bondsman, November 30, 1825.” A typescript copy of the bond book; agrees with S867.
181. S869Tennessee, U.S., Marriage Records — Sumner County marriage licence, Benjamin S. Harper and Jane Bell, 9 November 1841. Ancestry collection 1169, record 1640726 (image VRMUSATN1780_047358-01064). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Licence for Benjamin S.

183. S8801860 U.S. Federal Census — Nathan Harsh household, 5th District, Davidson County, Tennessee, post office Nashville (page 59, dwelling/family 425, lines 11–21). Ancestry record 19036980 (image 4296186_00059). Image examined, read 28 September 2026. Confirmed Nathan Harsh, 35, farmer; Mary J. Harsh, 29; Sarah E., Sophia R., Lena and Harry Harsh; William Harsh, 27, grocer; C. C. Rutherford, 27, farmer; Lydia Rutherford, 25; P. H. Rutherford, 2; Griffith Rutherford, 1. The 1860 census has no relationship column; the birthplace column was not read.
184. S961Tennessee certificate of death, state no. 15453 — Mrs Maria Louise Barry, 2nd Civil District, Sumner County, 13 July 1933. Ancestry record 30376385. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 24 September 2026. Confirmed Mrs Maria Louise Barry, white, widow, housekeeper, born 15 July 1851 in Tennessee, died 13 July 1933 at 1.15 p.m. in the 2nd Civil District of Sumner County, aged 81 years 11 months 28 days, of angina pectoris. Father David Chenault, born Kentucky; mother's maiden name Quinesberry, born Kentucky. Informant Mr. Henry Dun[…] of Gallatin; buried in the Barry graveyard 14 July 1933; undertaker John R. Harris, Gallatin. Her birth date and her parents come from the informant, 82 years after her birth; the death date and place are primary. "Quinesberry" is a spelling of Quisenberry, as "Lizzie Eastberry" on her sister Nannie's certificate (S208) seems to be. Collection: Tennessee, U.S., Death Records, 1908–1965.
185. S9691850 United States Federal Census — Northern Liberties Ward 3, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania, page 152 (9 August 1850): Lewis and Eve Harbour. Ancestry record 4931983. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 24 September 2026. Probable The continuation of the Jacob Young family in S838: Lewis Harbour, 27, male, cabinet maker, born France; Eve, 24, born France; Lewis, 5, Harriet, 3, and Sarah, 4 months, all born Pennsylvania. Read from the image; S838 had this page only from the FamilySearch index. Harbour is the enumerator's English spelling of Harbauer. Why Probable: the 1850 census states no relationships, so Eve is the wife and the children are theirs by position only, and nothing on the page names Louise (born 1863). What fits: Eva Harbauer was born in June 1825, so exactly 24; the 1870 census also has her born in France; a cabinet maker Ludwig Harbauer is her husband in 1863; and Henriette, born 28 May 1848, is close to Harriet, 3. Collection: 1850 United States Federal Census (db 8054, image 4205114_00308).
186. S9961830 United States Federal Census — Upper Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey, page 376. Ancestry record 1436234. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 28–29 September 2026. Probable Samuel Timberman, head, a man of 40–49, in a household of 12: five boys and five girls under 20, two of the boys 15–20, and a woman of 30–39. William Timberman and Ann Timberman head the next two households. 1830 names only the head. Upper Alloways Creek is where Mary Timberman died in 1858 (S860). His age bracket is a decade younger than his 71 in 1850 (S861).
187. S10171840 United States Federal Census — Upper Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey. Ancestry record 3279458. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 29 September 2026. Probable Samuel Timberman, male 60–69, with a female 50–59, a male 10–14 and a female 5–9. He is listed between Benjn Timberman (20–29) and Samuel Timberman Jr (20–29). 1840 names only the heads of households.
188. S1019Sumner County, Tennessee, Executors’ Bonds and Letters, page 58. Ancestry record 3616701. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 29 September 2026. Confirmed Emma L. Martin, late of Sumner County, dead, having left a will; Nancy M. Timberman, executrix. Letters testamentary issued 15 December 1934 by Hub Perdue, clerk. The will itself has not been read.

McConnell and Cynthia Kennedy, both born Pennsylvania; commercial superintendent, Interstate Telephone Co., 12 years; died 29 June 1938, aged 66; informant Mrs. Martha M. McConnell. Nothing on this page names Tennessee or her parents; the link to Martha Martin McConnell rests on the name chain (her 1957 certificate calls her widow of A. H. McConnell; the 1930 census has the couple at Spokane).
190. S10461870 United States Federal Census — Ward 4, Shreveport, Caddo Parish, Louisiana, page 12, dwelling 514. Ancestry record 30599178. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 29 September 2026.

N., 32, born North Carolina; Ella, 7, and Clarance, 5, both born Texas; Henry Winfrey, 34, laborer, born Tennessee. The same family as the 1860 Rusk, Texas household (S429): merchant, Tennessee-born, a North Carolina-born wife S., a daughter Ella. Weak: every age here runs 2–3 years young against 1860 and 1880, and nothing on the page names Peter H. Martin or Sumner County.
191. S1047Philadelphia city directory, indexed as 1874, p. 599. Ancestry record 176407245. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 29 September 2026. Probable “Harbauer Eva, wid Lewis, h 152 Pegg” and “Harbauer Louis, finisher, h 152 Pegg”; the only two Harbauer entries on the spread. The year comes from Ancestry’s index only: the running heads do not print it. A directory line gives no age or birthplace; the tie to Eva is by name, widowhood and city.
192. S10501870 United States Federal Census — 2nd Civil District, Sumner County, Tennessee, page 18, dwelling 117 (P.O. Enon College). Ancestry record 10638623. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 29 September 2026. Probable 9 August 1870: Woodruff Dunn, 45, farmer, born Kentucky; Mary, 37, keeping house, real estate $4,200 in her name; Luther 18, Nancy 16, Leo 13, Eliza 12, Artemisia 10, Alice 8, all born Kentucky. The 1870 census states no relationships; Nancy (Nannie) is taken to be Nannie E. Dunn by name, age, Kentucky birth and district, four years before her Sumner County licence to marry Milton W. Chenault.
193. S10601830 United States Federal Census — Clark County, Kentucky, page 96. Ancestry record 1786553. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 26 September 2026. Probable Colby B. Quisenberry, head. Free white males: 2 under 5, 1 aged 5–9, 1 aged 10–14, 1 aged 15–19, 1 aged 40–49; females: 1 under 5, 1 aged 5–9, 2 aged 10–14, 1 aged 40–49(?). A tally with names for the head only. The man aged 40–49 fits a birth in 1788, but nobody else is named, and the second page (the enslaved and free coloured columns) is not on this image.
194. S10611900 United States Federal Census — Fayette County, Kentucky, dwelling 262. Ancestry record 37818001. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 26 September 2026. Confirmed June 1900: Colby Quisenburg [sic], head, born August 1822, 77, widowed, born Kentucky, parents born Kentucky, farmer, owns his farm; Maddison, son, October 1851(?), 48, single; Dudley, son, July 1856, 43, single; Colby Jr., son, July 1863, 36, single; Bell Cass, daughter, October 1850, 49, widowed, mother of 3 children, 2 living; Lizzie Cass, granddaughter, March 1878; Colby Cass(?), grandson, August 1879. The census makes Colby Jr. born July 1863; his 1936 death certificate (S694) says 19 July 1866. The month agrees; the year is unresolved.
195. S10641920 United States Federal Census — Second Civil District, Sumner County, Tennessee, S.D. 4, E.D. 117, sheet 13A, dwelling 255. Ancestry record 36254676. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 26 September 2026. Confirmed 28 January 1920, enumerator Wm. A. Gregory: Mariah Barry, head, owns free, 68, widowed, born Tennessee, farmer, general farm; Jessie, daughter, 33, single; Louise Barry Cecil, granddaughter, 8; Roy Barry Cecil, grandson, 3(?). The same district and the same daughter Jessie as the 1910 census (S586).
196. S1076FamilySearch New Jersey, Church Records, 1675–1970, index 1:1:QLY8-VG38 — Mary Burroughs, born 8 June 1788, Salem. Index only; the image (3:1:3Q9M-CS4V-RZW6) is in a restricted collection and returned “access denied”, so it has not been read. Checked 30 September 2026. Mary Burroughs, born 8 June 1788, Salem, New Jersey; father Benjamin Burroughs; mother Judith. Independent of the 1858 death return [S860] and agreeing with it on the father’s name and on the birth year (70 at death in June 1858). The same search returns a Mary Burroughs born 16 December 1830 at Salem to a Benjamin and Hannah, a later namesake kept apart.
197. S1131Tennessee death certificate no. 50-16512, Shelby County, 1950 — Luther Dunn Chenault. Ancestry record 30806043. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed Luther Dunn Chenault, male, white, married, born 10 August 1887 in Tennessee, died 12 July 1950 at 1842 Mignon Avenue, Memphis, aged 62, a retired travelling salesman for a road-machinery company; father left blank; mother’s maiden name Nancy Dunn; buried at Elmwood, Memphis, 13 July 1950. The father’s name is blank on the certificate.
198. S1150Marriage register (fair copy in a later hand), pp. 134–135, indexed to Daretown, Pittsgrove, Salem County, New Jersey — 1784. Ancestry record 5783762. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 30 September 2026. Probable Among the 1784 marriages: “[March] 30 Benjamin Borans to Judah Lummus.” The spellings are phonetic and in a copy, and the pages name no church; the place comes from Ancestry’s index. The identification rests on the fit of the year and both names with a published family history’s Benjamin Burroughs and Judith Loomis, married 1784, and with the Salem record of Benjamin and Judith’s daughter Mary (S1076), not on the letters.
199. S11581870 U.S. census, schedule 3 (agriculture), District No. 2, Fayette County, Kentucky, P.O. Lexington, pp. 2–3, line 38 (September 1870). Ancestry record 280192. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 1 October 2026. Confirmed Colby Quisenberry: 145 acres improved and 20 of woodland, farm valued at $13,000; 5 horses, 5 milch cows, 2 working oxen, 25 other cattle and 40 swine; 85 bushels of winter wheat and 1,000 of Indian corn; $500 paid in wages. An agriculture schedule gives no age or family; the identification rests on name and place. The farm’s $13,000 is the value of this farm, not of all his land ($20,000 in the population census). The same page is filed under Ancestry record 8880192.
200. S11591920 U.S. census, Civil District 9, Sumner County, Tennessee, ED 124, sheet 2A, Dobbins Road (5–6 January 1920). Ancestry record 36264463. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed John W. Chenault, head, 54, single, farmer, owns his farm free, born Tennessee, father born Kentucky; Ira M. [Araminta], his mother, 83, widowed, born Tennessee; Jewell, brother, 52, single, farmer; Sallie, sister, 44, single, public school teacher. The given name is entered “Ira M.”. John’s father’s birthplace, Kentucky, differs from Sumner County on a sister’s 1943 death record; both are second-hand.
201. S11611860 U.S. census, schedule 4 (agriculture), Sumner County, Tennessee (district number partly legible), line 23 (July 1860). Ancestry record 8309891. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed Colby Chenault: about 100 acres improved and 92 unimproved; cash value of the farm $4,000. Faint microfilm: the livestock and crop columns cannot be read reliably. An agriculture schedule gives no age or family; the identification rests on the unusual given name and the county.
202. S11621860 U.S. census, District No. 3, Sumner County, Tennessee, P.O. Castalian Springs, p. 49 (stamped 178), lines 1–2 (24 June 1860). Ancestry record 22605803. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed Continuing the household from the foot of the previous page: Millard F. Chenault, 4, male, born Tennessee; Charles [Chenault], 2, male, born Tennessee. The head is on the previous page, the David Chenault household of S206 (page 48, dwelling 323), so this image itself names no parent.
203. S11631880 U.S. census, Second District, Sumner County, Tennessee, SD 3, ED 208, p. 31, lines 6–9 (25–26 June 1880). Ancestry record 16811255. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed B. P. Barry, 33, married, farmer, born Tennessee; Mariah, wife, 28, keeping house, born Tennessee; Albert, son, 4; Wallace, son, 1; with a boarder, Maria Billings(?), 56, and three household staff. The husband’s second initial reads P but could be C; the 1875 licence (S554) has Benjamin C. Barry. Mariah’s parents are entered as born in Tennessee, where her other records say Kentucky.
204. S11641900 U.S. census, 2nd Civil District, Sumner County, Tennessee, SD 4, ED 104, sheet 13A, lines 38–40, dwelling 220 (June 1900). Ancestry record 61297909. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed Barry, Ma[riah?], head, born July 1852, 48, widowed, mother of 5 children, 2 living, born Tennessee, both parents born Kentucky; owns her farm free; with her daughters [Hannie?], born about 1887, at school, and Jessie May, born May 1886. Her given name is partly illegible (indexed Martha); only ‘Ma’ is certain. The identification rests on the July birth month, the widowed Barry farm in the same district, the Kentucky-born parents and Jessie May, who is with her again in 1910 (S586). The younger daughter’s name could also be read Wallie or Nannie.
205. S11671850 U.S. census, Upper Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey, p. 44 (stamped 332), dwelling 347, family 348, lines 15–18 (12 August 1850). Ancestry record 4604617. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 25 September 2026. Confirmed James Harris, 53, male, labourer, born New Jersey; Rachel Harris, 39, born New Jersey; Charlotte E. Harris, 10, at school; Benjamin Harris, 16; all born New Jersey. No real estate entered. The 1850 census states no relationships. The first digit of James’s age is overwritten; 53 is the likeliest reading and fits his 63 in 1860 (S653) and 73 in 1870 (S622). Rachel’s 39 puts her birth about 1811, which is hard to square with Rebecca Anna’s birth about 1823: either Rebecca was born later or Rachel was a second wife. This record does not settle it.
206. S1168New Jersey wills, Salem County will book (Vol. C–D), p. 275: will of Benjamin Burroughs of Pilesgrove Township, dated 6 January 1826. Ancestry record 209307. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 1 October 2026. Probable Benjamin Burroughs of the township of Pilesgrove, County of Salem, “weak in body but of sound and disposing mind”, leaves his wearing apparel to his son James Burroughs; a bed and bedding, the largest looking glass, half a dozen chairs, the table in the west room, teacups, teapots and half a dozen silver teaspoons to his daughter Hannah Burroughs; and the residue to “my children” equally. His son Cornelius Burroughs is sole executor. Signed with his seal; witnesses William Mayhew[?], Garret Dubois and Solomon Dubois. The proof is on the next page, not read; the index’s “probate 6 Jan 1826” is the date the will was signed. Mary (Timberman) is not named, and no wife is mentioned. The identification rests on Salem County and the generation: Upper Pittsgrove, where Mary was born in 1788, was split from Pilesgrove.
207. S1173U.S. Civil War draft registrations, Schedule II (Class II), 7th Congressional District, Kentucky, consolidated list No. 19, June and July 1863, Thos. H. Moore, Capt. and Provost Marshal, line 17. Ancestry record 584158. Image examined in the Stage 2 reading, 1 October 2026. Confirmed Fayette County: Quisenberry, Colby, 39, white, farmer, born Kentucky; no former service; no remarks. Class II held married men over 35. Colby B. Jr., born 31 August 1822 and farming near Lexington in 1860 and 1870 (S756, S757), is the only fit: his father, born 1788, was over age. The age is a year or two low, which is common on these lists.
