Provenance of the McCorkle-Roache Papers Preserved & sent to me in West Tennessee by “Casey” Bowden Cason McCorkle of San Leandro, California:   

 

The Roach(e) line of Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roach died out in California, to which state Addison Locke Roache, Jr., had moved from Indiana, along with some sisters—and finally toward the end the aged father, former Indiana Supreme Court Justice Addison Locke Roache, Sr.,  moved to California, too.  Thus did Addison Locke Roache Senior make the lifetime journey from the east coast (state of NC) to California, as far westward as he could travel.

 

In California some of their McCorkle cousins inherited their papers. Perhaps it was Mada McCorkle Montgomery, daughter of Finis Alexander McCorkle & Finis’ 2^nd wife Mag Hart (McCorkle)  --Mag Hart was the 2nd wife who the Dyer County neighbors gossiped had poisoned her stepson Gillum McCorkle, although Gillum's uncle, Hiram alias HRA McCorkle, records in his journal that Gillum had shot himself "while in bed with [his brother] Homer" ; or, more likely to me, it may have been either of Finis Alexander McCorkle's grandsons (by Finis’ 1^st wife Sarah Josephine Jackson McCorkle) living in California by the time of the end of the last McCorkle-Roaches, viz., Gentry Purviance McCorkle, Senior and Homer McCorkle, half-brothers to Mada [variously Maida] McCorkle Montgomery.  Gentry Purviance McCorkle, Junior, at one point added some handwritten notations to the collection of old papers. Gentry Jr. may have turned over these papers to his uncle Homer McCorkle, or Gentry Jr. may have bypassed his uncle Homer and given the papers directly to Homer's son Bowden Cason "Casey" McCorkle.

--At any rate,  I presume Homer McCorkle was at some point given the letters by the descendants of Elmira Sloan McCorkle (Roache), because it was his son Casey McCorkle who handed them down to me.  –However they came into his hands, the old letters & papers came into the hands of Casey McCorkle, who preserved them and left them to me, and therefore to all who care to read them.

II.3.         Joseph  McCorkle       m.        “Peggy” Margaret Snoddy        

The following is is not my work but that of Carol Snoddy Byler..and Gerald  K. Byers.  Her web pages are on the internet at http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/s/csbyler/Genealogy/Snoddy/Snoddy.html [email protected]  See also: www.rootsweb.com/~tnsumner/snoddy2.htm Snoddy Family Album Entry …SAMUEL SNODDY was born circa 1720 possibly in Northern Ireland. ... a few weeks later signing the marriage bond for his sister Margaret to Joseph McCORKLE. ...—Much Snoddy family information is posted on the web by by Gerald K. Byers, who wrote the following:

 “On February 11, 1775, Samuel Snoddy was appointed one of the commissioners to lay off a road from the provincial road at Morrison's Mill [a mill begun by William Morrison, 1704-1771, near today's Loray in Iredell Co, NC] to the Lime Kilns on the Catawba River.  On February 21, 1775, Samuel's daughter, Sarah Snoddy (age 22), married Andrew Mitchell in Rowan County, NC.  Sarah took the place of her sister (Margaret) Snoddy who eloped with Joseph McCorkle after a license was issued for Margaret to marry Andrew Mitchell.  This was a scandalous happening for the strict Presbyterian ideals of 1775.

“[The following is a quote from John Mantle Judah:] "The well-known story of the elopement and marriage of my grandparents is that Joseph [McCorkle] was one morning at work, roofing a house. His father came and said, 'Joe, that old fool Snoddy is going to marry his girl Margaret [Snoddy] to so-and-so tomorrow. Maybe you'd better go and see about it.'   Whereupon, Joe hastily clambered down, put on his coat and galloped off several miles to the Snoddy place. That night after the stern old father was asleep, Margaret handed out her bridle and saddle through a window and herself followed. She never saw her parents again, for old Snoddy never forgave her, leaving her a shilling* in his will. The story goes on to say that a younger sister was willing to supply Margaret's place to the bereaved groom [Andrew Mitchell], so that a wedding took place nevertheless."  (Samuel Snoddy's will actually left his daughter Margaret five shillings, the same amount he left his other six children.)    …

       JOHN SNODDY m. AGNES NIBLOCK. [Marsha Huie adds: Gracie or Gracy Niblock was a NC Huie cousin to Julius M. Huie, who migrated to West Tennessee, son of Benjamin Huie & Lavinia Cowan Huie.  Gracey Niblock in NC & Julius Huie's daughter Sophronia “Fronie” Huie Thompson [in West Tennessee] regularly corresponded: ] [ WALNUT HILL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEAR LEXINGTON, KY ] 

In 1778, Samuel Snoddy's son, John Snoddy (age 20) married Agnes Niblock in North Carolina.  Around 1780, John Snoddy migrated to Kentucky and in June of 1787, John and Agnes were admitted to the Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church near Lexington, Kentucky (Fayette County).  Agnes died between 1792 and 1795, leaving John with six young children.  He moved to Bourbon County circa 1795 and on February 22, 1796, John Snoddy married Nancy Neel/McNeel.  He remained there until circa 1829-30 since he was in the 1800 census and land records show he purchased 133 acres on Rockbridge Creek on April 16, 1803.  At this time, he moved to Owen County, Indiana and bought 60 acres in Wayne township, near Gosport.  [Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache, Joseph McCorkle & Margaret Snoddy McCorkle's niece through her father Robert McCorkle, at one time lived in or near Gosport, Indiana. ] He (John Snoddy)  is listed in the 1830 census and [John Snoddy] died there on March 22, 1843.

“In Wilkes County, North Carolina on March 4, 1778, William Snoddy, Sr. (at age 29) entered 300 acres on the north side of the Yadkin River.  On May 6, 1778, Samuel was appointed a "justice".  "In November 1778, William was a chain-bearer on a survey of land in Wilkes County for his brother-in-law, Joseph McCorkle."  On February 5, 1779, he entered 300 additional acres on Blue Ridge, near the head of the Buffalo and Elk Rivers.  On May 6, 1779, he was appointed overseer of a road "from Kerr’s bridge on 3rd Creek through Captain [James?] Purviance's district, along with Matt Troy, Joseph Steel and James Brandon."

“On February 10, 1822 Thomas Snoddy (son of Samuel) sold 701 acres in NC to ? Alexander for $2100.  (This was part of the state grant to Samuel [Snoddy] and part of a grant from Earl of Granville to Andrew Morrison in 1762.)  ”   [Andrew Morrison was father of Margaret Morrison McCorkle, inter alia.] Information from Heritage Book of Iredell County, North Carolina - Volume II, page 131.  Item #136 – ”

II.4.  Alexander  McCorkle II       m.        Catherine “Katy” Morrison

* Aleck was emotional in character and joined the Methodists  » -- quoting his niece Elmira.

I think this Alexander McCorkle, a Jr., migrated west first to Giles County then northward to Henry County, Tenn., in or near Paris, Tennessee. I think Katy Morrison (McCorkle) would have been a first cousin-once-removed, that is, a generation removed, to Margaret Morrison McCorkle (Mrs. Robert), and a first cousin to Margaret Morrison McCorkle's father, the Andrew Morrison who m. Elizabeth Sloan(e).  Margaret Morrison McCorkle was Alexander McCorkle II's sister-in-law. --This Alexander McCorkle II referred to himself after the death of his father and the birth of his son as "Alexander Snr." At least one of his letters posted from Giles County, Tennessee, and addressed back home to NC lies in the Ramsay Papers in the UNC Archives at Chapel Hill.

--It may be that some papers of this William McCorkle lie under his name in the archives of UNC at Chapel Hill; I've not checked yet.

[A Restoration Movement publication reported the following death of interest here:

  –This must surely be the Montgomery McCorkle about whom Elmira Sloan McCorkle Roache writes; Montgomery is up in Indiana with or near to Elmira, a 1^st cousin, if Elmira’s “Montgomery” is this son of William McCorkle.

III.5.            John McCorkle, born circa 1802

  -- I'm pretty sure this is NOT the “Cousin John McCorkle” about whom Margaret Morrison writes, saying that Cousin John McCorkle is coming to Dyer County, Tennessee, to make and crop and will probably take care of Thomas, Jr. ???  I think that "Cousin John" was a son of Margaret's brother-in-law James McCorkle.  If so --that is, if Margaret referred to her brother-in-law James McCorkle's descendants-- that gives us a SLOAN family clue;  Margaret Morrison McCorkle's mother was born Elizabeth SLOAN.  That may just mean that Margaret's brother-in-law James McCorkle's wife Elizabeth Hall whose mother was a Sloan was kin to Margaret Morrison McCorkle's mother.  =  Sloan family clue...

III.6.            Amelia McCorkle, born circa 1805.

III.7.            Blanche Locke McCorkle, born circa 1807.

                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                            

II.6.         Robert McCorkle, 1764-1828  m. 1^st Lizzy Elizabeth Blythe, 2^nd Margaret ‘Peggy’ Morrison.   Robert McCorkle was born 29 Oct. 1764 & died in April, in the spring of 1828.

Robert McCorkle moved from Rowan Co., NC, to Kentucky.  According to his daughter Elmira, Robert forayed into Kentucky "in the second company" of white men's incursion into Kentucky.  Carol Byler writes that Robert joined Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church’s congregation in 1789, a church also joined by Robert's brothers Joseph (who m. Margaret "Peggy" Snoddy) & William McCorkle. Our West Tenn. records do not mention Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church.

 Then, Robert moved back down to northern Middle Tennessee (I think);  I know Robert returned to Rowan Co. to claim and marry his 2^nd wife; then with the 2nd wife removed to the area of Stone’s River, near or in Murfreesboro, Tennessee; and we know his brother William went to Stone's River too, in order to take up their father Alexander McCorkle I ’s Revolutionary War land grant; and finally Robert (but not William, who died in 1818) removed farther west to Dyer County, where he died in 1828.  --Again, according to his daughter Elmira, Robert, who began life in Rowan Co., NC, may not even have lingered in Middle Tennessee upon leaving Rowan Co., but forayed directly into Kentucky. This latter point is unclear.

     We do know that other of Robert McCorkle's relatives, circa 1792, removed up to Kentucky from Middle Tennessee, from the environs of Lebanon and Gallatin, to escape Indian depredations in Sumner Co., Tenn.  They landed particularly in Bourbon County (near Paris), Kentucky; and that is why they were at Cane Ridge meeting house in 1801-4, and attended the birth of the Christian Church / Disciples of Christ/ Church of Christ / at Cane Ridge, Bourbon County, Kentucky. 

     Robert had 2 children by his 1^st wife “Lizzie” Elizabeth Blythe, viz.,  1.  infant “Aleck” Alexander McC, born and died circa 1790; and 2.  Elizabeth McCorkle (Mrs. Thomas Anderson), born 1791.  Elizabeth McCorkle Anderson at death was living in Lebanon, Wilson Co., Tennessee, I think in the home of her daughter Elizabeth C. Anderson McMurry (the daughter Elizabeth was the wife of a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, John Mitchell McMurry).

 I think Thomas Anderson had had a first wife before marrying Elizabeth McCorkle, daughter of Robert & Lizzie Blythe McCorkle.--Thomas Anderson's mother was née Mebane, and there is today a town of Mebane, North Carolina, west of Durham.

Robert’s children by 2^nd wife Margaret “Peggy” Morrison, a daughter of Elizabeth Sloan(e) & Andrew Morrison (and a paternal granddaughter of William Morrison, 1704-1771, & Margaret (maiden name unknown) Morrison) were: 

III.3.                                   Rebecca Cowden McCorkle (Thompson)

born 28^th Dec 28 1795 in Rowan Co., NC &  died 1829 in Middle Tennessee, some 2 years after the death of her husband Gideon Thompson. -- Rebecca & Gideon Thompson left two orphaned daughters, 1^st:  Jane M. Thompson (Mrs. Benjamin Williams); Jane M. Thompson Williams died in 1850 & is buried in the McCorkle Cemetery, Dyer County, Tennessee, as "Jane Williams, consort of Benj. Williams." I just recently found her name as having joined the old family church, Lemalsamac Christian Church as it was then known, in the year 1850 which was also the year of her death.  Her husband Benjamin Williams then "removed" from Lemalsamac, but I know not where. The 2^nd daughter of Rebecca Cowden McCorkle was Mary “Polly” Thompson (Mrs. Matthew Dickey).  

 

born 13^th Feb. 1797 in Rowan Co, NC; and died 2^nd August  1890, either in Indianapolis, Marion Co, Indiana, at the home of her oldest son Justice Addison Locke Roache; or in the town of California in the state of Missouri at the home of a younger son “Quincy” Robert Quincy Roache.  It is mostly to Elmira and the record-keeping of her progeny that we owe this present collection of old correspondence.  [Added later:  "Uncle" Joseph Smith JOE McCorkle of Yorkville and his descendants retained their McCorkle-Morrison papers, also.  We owe much to Uncle Joe's great-granddaughter Carol Branz of Spokane, Washington, who even has an old trunk containing locks of hair from some of the eldest generation.]

 

III.5.            Edwin Alexander McCorkle, born 18^th March 1799,

in Rowan County, NC, died 10th January 1853 in Dyer County, Tennessee. Married Jane Maxwell Thomas of Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee, who died in 1855 in Dyer County, Tennessee. Edwin is my great-great grandfather through my father [Howard] Ewing Huie, 1907-1971.  We know from certain old documents that Edwin Alexander McCorkle served as one of the earliest Justices of the Peace of Dyer County.

 

III.6.                  Jehiel Morrison McCorkle “JEM,” born 3^rd Jan. 1803, buried in the Dyer County, Tenn., McCorkle Cemetery. Born in Rowan Co., NC, he died in 1849 in Dyer County, Tennessee.  Married "Betsy" Elizabeth Smith in Rowan County, NC.  Member of the first Dyer County Court and in the earliest Dyer County militia; hence the honorific used for him, "Major J M McCorkle." –I have his children listed elsewhere; and I note elsewhere Jehiel & Betsy McCorkle’s loss of at least three sons to the Civil War.  --One of Jehiel's sister Elmira's grandsons has written in pencil on Elmira's old records that he believed Betsy Smith (Mrs. Jehiel Morrison McCorkle) was probably a niece of his father, Dr. Stephen Roache; unfortunately, I do not know about this, but doubt it ....

Somehow--we don't know how--some of Jehiel Morrison McCorkle's papers have landed in the University of Tennessee at Martin archives in the late 20th century, in connection with records of the early Dyer County court.   He was an early member of the first Dyer County militia. He died in 1849 so we know this was not Civil War-connected.  And evidently Jehiel kept the minutes for the Dyer County Court, which would have made him today's equivalent, I guess, of the County Court Clerk; but the truth is hazy. -- Nor do we know how some of John Edwin McCorkle's papers arrived there.--An application made in Gibson or Dyer County, Tennessee, by a Thomas kinsman for a Revolutionary War pension for service in the North Carolina line --of either James Thomas or Henry Thomas, I can't remember which brother-in-law it was of Jane Maxwell THOMAS McCorkle alias Mrs. Edwin Alexander McCorkle--  lists as a reference "Major J M McCorkle."  That would be Jehiel Morrison McCorkle.

One of Margaret Morrison McCorkle’s letters circa 1838 (transcribed herein, in Chapter Two) mentions the re-marriage of “Old Friend Scott” who very likely would have been James Scott (1777-1853). And, indeed, there is record of a marriage in Gibson County, Tennessee, of a James Scott:  with  license, or marriage vows, taken on 14^th June 1838. The name of the bride is listed as Mary Landers (Scott).   But absolutely nowhere else had I ever heard that James Scott married a 2^nd wife after the death of Sarah Dickey (Scott).

 

–Old Gibson County marriage records also reveal the marriage or license on 8^th December 1832 of James & Sarah Dickey Scott’s son "Jimps" James Scott [II] to Violet B. Roddy [misspelled as “RODDY, Vilett B”].  They are my direct ancestors, through my father EWING HUIE, 1907-1971, whose paternal grandmother (Howard Anderson Huie’s mother) was James & Violet B. Roddy Scott’s daughter, “Sade” Sarah Elizabeth Scott (Mrs. Julius M. Huie), 1839-1893.

 

I made a mistake on one side of the above-photographed tombstone, unfortunately for posterity.  Erroneously, I listed the second wife of James "Jimps" Scott (born 1810) as Mary Landers (Scott). In fact, Mary Landers Scott was the 2^nd wife (I think) of "Jimps" Scott's father, the James Scott who lived 1777-1853 and who was probably Margaret Morrison McCorkle's "old friend Scott." One reason for my mistake is that M.L. Scott is listed in at least one old Gibson County census as living with the son "Jimps" James Scott. (The son is not called "Jimps" on the census records.) 

 

I think the following is "Jimps" James Scott, born I think in 1810--the father of, inter alia, Allen "Tobe" Scott; "Sade" Sarah Elizabeth Scott Huie; the female TRIMBLE ancestor of James Spence Trimble & Mentia Trimble Hicks of Yorkville; & Rev. Thomas ELIHU Scott....    ....    But a problem arises:  "Jimps" Scott's original tombstone--so in ruins at the Old Yorkville CP Cemetery as to be almost illegible (in fact, his name is missing)--states his years of life to be 1810-1872; if that is correct (perhaps I misread the 1872; perhaps the year of his death if more legible would read 1882). I'm just not certain that this 1880 census is about "our" James "Jimps" Scott. The information in brackets is from me, so take it with the understanding of my confusion about the death date:

Joe L. Williams	20

I don't know who the above Joe L. Williams was.  We do know that a brother of the above "Jimps" James Scott, head of the above household, was John Dickey Scott (variously, John Dickie Scott). And we know that John Dickey Scott married SUSAN or SUSANNAH C. WILLIAMS (Mrs. John Dickey Scott) (born circa 1816) a daughter of a Joseph Williams.  [I wonder if these Williams folks were kin to the Benjamin Williams who married Jane M. Thompson (Williams), Jane being a daughter of Rebecca Cowden McCorkle (Thompson) & granddaughter of Robert & Margaret Morrison McCorkle.],

 

The following Tennessee 1860 Slave Schedule makes me feel sad; but I had known these Scotts were considered a bit more well-to-do than the neighbors, and that there were numerous freedmen surnamed Scott around Newbern postbellum, and even in my childhood in the 1950s.  One, e.g., was "Nellie" or Nelson Scott.      Slave schedule   Page 302

Name:	James Scott  [ I think this is "Jimps" James Scott, born 1810 in SC]
County:	1860        Dyer County                District 9

 

 

--Also listed in the Gibson County records is the marriage of James & Sarah Dickey Scott’s daughter Tirzah Scott to Robert AH McCorkle on 1^st December 1828. 

 

--Listed, too, is the first marriage of Sallie or Sarah L. Scott, a daughter of Margaret Permelia McCorkle (Scott) & Lemuel Locke Scott:  Sarah (Sallie) L. Scott  married John A. Rodgers on 21^st April 1858. Sallie L. Scott (Rodgers) was to marry a 2^nd husband, Richard W. Locke, who was a trustee for McCorkle Cemetery in Dyer County.  He should have a marker there, I think—either there, or in the Old Yorkville CP Cemetery, where his (2^nd ) wife is buried. [ I think it was Dick Locke’s 2^nd wife who is buried at Yorkville, but may be wrong about the order of marriage, and it’s possible he’s buried there with her at Yorkville; but I’ve found no marker for him in either cemetery, and that’s a shame.  Clearly, he was a substantial citizen of worth.] 

 

--Listed also is a Gibson County record of the 1828 marriage of “our” John Dickey Scott or John Dickie Scott [a son of James & Sarah Dickey Scott] to Susan Williams:   “SCOTT, John D married WILLIAMS, Susanah C on 01-JUN-1828.”   [--He went on down to Hardeman County, I think, as did his brother William Scott; but I'm not certain that John Dickey Scott went down to Hardeman although I know William did.]

     I’m suspicious there’s another McCorkle-Williams connection here that I’ve only just now recognized: is there a connection between this SUSAN or SUSANNAH C. WILLIAMS (Mrs. John Dickey Scott) and the Benjamin Williams who married Jane M. Thompson (Williams), the granddaughter whom Margaret Morrison McCorkle fondly described thus, in this correspondence herein, infra: “as blithe and merry as a lark.” –except that Margaret spelled it “blythe,” the way her husband Robert McCorkle’s 1^st wife had spelled her last name (“Lizzie” Elizabeth Blythe).

  --Quaere:  Could perchance each Williams (Susannah C. Williams Scott, wife of John Dickey Scott; and Benjamin Williams, husband of Jane M. Thompson Williams) have been a child of Joseph Williams of Gibson County?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I frankly don’t have a clue what to do with the following Gibson County Scott marriages, but here they are for somebody else to figure out someday:

          

SCOTT, Elisha      to            SCOTT, Elizabeth G J on 12-JUL-1852

SCOTT, Thos                                      MULLINS, Nancy      on 21-JAN-1856

SCOTT, Wm                         KING, Biddy         on 24-SEP-1846

 

SCOTT, Wm D                     GILCHRIST, Amanda G   on 09-JUN-1835  --Now, about this one, I’m wondering if it’s possible that William Scott, the father of Tennessee Alice Edwards “Tennie” McCorkle (Mrs. John Edwin McCorkle) married a second time?????  I don't really think so.  His first wife, and I thought his only wife, was Nancy Edwards Wellborn (Scott), buried in Hardeman County, Tennessee. This 2^nd wife business is pure speculation based on the dates and names.  I think one of our Hardeman County Scotts, a descendant of William Scott,  married a Pearl Gilchrist….

            SCOTT, Wm D                       WEBB, Sutelda E          on 30-APR-1849

            SCOTT, Wm P                        LITTLE, Elizabeth A       on 24-JAN-1852

More on the parentage of the immigrant Alexander McCorkle, 1722-1800

               Here’s an entry on www.ancestry.com  that came from “unknown” source.  It says our Alexander McCorkle, the immigrant who lived circa 1722-1800 and died in Rowan Co., NC, buried at Thyatira, was Alexander G. McCorkle, a son of SAMUEL McCorkle and wife Elizabeth or Jane ALEXANDER. Of course, I’ve edited the following just to fill in what I know about the children of Alexander McCorkle & 1^st wife “Nancy” Agnes Montgomery; but I have not called him Alexander G. McCorkle, for that’s not in our record.  Nor have I added Alexander McCorkle Sr.’s parents and grandparents, for they are not in our record anywhere.  I question whether the following entry on ancestry.com is correct about the antecedents of our Alexander McCorkle, but here it is for perusal.—My reader can punch “Control” and click on the computer mouse to follow the Internet links below, particularly the Ahnentafel:

Children [I, Marsha Cope Huie, have added to the following information, although I doubt the above parentage as listed.  I just don't think "our" Alexander McCorkle, who did have the following listed children, was a son of a Samuel McCorkle; but I may be wrong.]

1.      Martha (Mattie) MCCORKLE [Archibald]    b: ca. 1745 in Lancaster Co. PA                       m. William Archibald

2.      Samuel Eusebus MCCORKLE                                  b: 25 AUG 1746 in Harris Ferry, Lancaster Co. PA [now in Dauphin County]

5.      Joseph MCCORKLE                                                b: 4 MAY 1753 in Lancaster Co. PA.             m. Margaret Snoddy.

6.       

7.      Elizabeth MCCORKLE [Barr]                                  b: ca. 1754 in Rowan Co. NC

                         m. Mr. Barr;   I have his name as William Barr, but absolutely everybody else writes JAMES BARR, so I must be wrong. His father's name may have been William. ?

8.      William MCCORKLE b: ca. 1762 in Rowan Co. NC. Died 1818 near Murfreesborough, Rutherford County, Tennessee, before father’s Rev. War land grant was lost in land-title dispute litigation and before brother Robert McCorkle removed from Rutherford County to Dyer County in the newly opened western district of Tennessee.

9.      Agnes "Nancy" MCCORKLE [Ramsay] b: 9 FEB 1760 in Rowan Co. NC –papers in UNC Archives; she remained in NC.

10.  Robert MCCORKLE b: 29 OCT 1764 in Rowan Co. NC [Marsha adds–my ancestor in West Tennessee. The one who claimed his father’s Rev. War land grant substituted for the land grant lost to litigation in Rutherford County, Tennessee (Murfreesborough).]

11.  James MCCORKLE                         b: 4 MAY 1768 in Rowan Co. NC, the last child to be born, and the last to die.

Marriage 2 of the immigrant Alexander McCorkle was to Rebecca (McNeeley) BRANDON b: about  1748

 [ I, Marsha Cope Huie, do not have the “McNeeley” as her maiden (or perhaps 1^st married) name.  Nor do I recall the McNeely name on her tombstone at Thyatira in NC.  --How, if at all, was she kin to Betsy Brandon, a wife of Francis McCorkle (a putative brother to the immigrant Alexander Sr.)   ?]

_____________________________________________________________________

Carol Byler writes the following about the parentage of the immigrant Alexander McCorkle who died in 1800.  And here I must give proper attribution to Dave Woody:

“ 1. JAMES  MCCORKLE was born 1694 in Argyll, Scotland, and died Oct 28, 1760 in Augusta, VA. He married MARY JANE GILLESPIE.

Children of JAMES MCCORKLE and MARY GILLESPIE are:

2. i. SAMUEL2 MCCORKLE, b. abt. 1710, Scotland; d. abt. 1750, PA; Adopted child.

ii. WILLIAM MCCORKLE.

iii. MATTHEW MCCORKLE.

iv. JAMES MCCORKLE.

Generation No. 2

2. i. (above) SAMUEL2 MCCORKLE (JAMES1) was born abt. 1710 in Scotland, [Scotland is across the Irish Sea from Northern Ireland—Marsha Huie queries:  did this Samuel McCorkle move from Argyllshire, Scotland, across the short sea and settle in Northern Ireland?-- and died abt. 1750 in PA. He married (1)    ?    ALEXANDER in PA. She was born 1714 in PA. He married (2) JANE ALEXANDER in PA. She was born 1714 in PA.

From DAVID WQODY:

Notes for SAMUEL MCCORKLE:

In 1895,  William Egle wrote that a Samuel McCorkle, from the north of Ireland, settled in Paxtang PA prior to 1735. Derry Church (originally Spring Creek) was built in 1720 at a site 14 miles east of Harrisburg and Paxtang Church (originally called Fishing Creek) was located about 3 miles east of Harrisburg.

The record of the Rev. John Roan's Pennsylvania Congregation of Derry, Paxtang, and Mt. Joy (1745-1775) includes Samuel and Alexander McCorkle, as well as, several Montgomerys and Alexanders. Even though claims that these early Pennsylvania McCorkles came from Argyllshire, Scotland, have been published, I have never seen any evidence at all to substantiate this assertion. This information was provided by:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dwoody/mccorkle/

Child of SAMUEL MCCORKLE and JANE ALEXANDER is:

3. i. ALEXANDER G.3 MCCORKLE, b. 1722, Scotland Co, NC; d. Dec 24, 1800, Iredell Co, NC.  ”

Dave Woody writes: “Hearth tax lists from 1685 County Donegal [Ireland] contain almost all the same surnames found in early Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and a little later in Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, Virginia. In fact, James and Andrew M’Corckle were enumerated at this time in the Laggan region of County Donegal.”

(A link to the McCorkle database & pedigree is located at the end of the historical section.)  …

“The Ulstermen       About 1700,  a clan of McCorkles and other Scots-Irish Presbyterians immigrated to America through Philadelphia and by 1713 had settled  near the Susquehanna River in the Derry and Paxtang region of Lancaster County (now Dauphin County), Pennsylvania. Although some of these immigrates may have come directly from Scotland and else where, most of them were undoubtedly Ulster Scots that had moved from Scotland to [Northern] Ireland during the “plantation” period [begun by King James I] of the 17th century. Contrary to the popular American image of the kilted, Gaelic speaking, bagpipe playing, Highland Scot, the immigrant “Ulstermen” were mainly descendants of Lowland Scots.     ”

Perhaps Dave Woody’s web site tells us who this Robert McCorkle in Kentucky was, the one who applied to become a very early Cumberland Presbyterian minister:  The following is not the man whom some consider to be “our” SAMUEL--the alleged father of Alexander [I personally don't think our immigrant Alexander McCorkle I's father was a Samuel McCorkle],  but the following Samuel was almost certainly kin to our Alexander who moved from PA down to NC. This Samuel in Augusta Co., VA, died in 1788; son Samuel Jr.; wife Sarah; son Robert who m. Elizabeth Forrest in 1785; and John who m. a Forest woman from Orange Co., NC.

“The three McCorkles brothers did not seem to make the journey from Augusta County, Virginia, to Ohio and Kentucky at the same time.” 

He goes on to say that this Samuel McCorkle bought 200 acres in Green County, Kentucky, in the year 1802.  And he says that Samuel’s son ROBERT McCorkle trekked to OHIO from the Rockbridge County, VA, area.  Furthermore, he mentions a MORRISON family, who I guess were kin to our Margaret Morrison McCorkle (Mrs. Robert):

“Robert McCorkle’s journey from Augusta County [VA] to Ohio took about fifteen years. On February 19, 1807, Polly, the oldest daughter was married to John Morrison in Greenbrier County, Virginia and on January 2, 1811 Robert’s oldest son, James, was married in Montgomery County. So the family lived in Bath, Greenbrier and possibly Montgomery Counties for several years… [Daughter Sarah McCorkle married …  “A John Morison and family were recorded in the 1810 Kanawha census just three listings away from the McCorkle family. Three census pages away from the McCorkle's were John Cantrill and family. The Morrison and Cantwell families continued on to Ohio with the McCorkles.”

  [Recall that Margaret Morrison McCorkle from West Tennessee writes her daughter Elmira that Margaret’s brother ANDREW MORRISON is probably in VIRGINIA to attend to an old law suit.]

 [DaveWoody writes that these McCorkles settled in Lawrence County, Ohio.  Alas, he finds this ROBERT McCORKLE in Lawrence County, Ohio, in 1817 and writes: ] “In 1820, Robert and his family were enumerated in Union Township, Lawrence County, Ohio.” [–So, I guess this is NOT the Robert McCorkle who appears on the early rolls of CP ministers in Ky.  –Does that mean it was OUR Robert McCorkle who tried for the CP ministry in Kentucky circa 1810?  --  However, this VA Robert McCorkle had a brother, a Samuel,  who had land in Green Co., Ky.  ]

Cotton and Tong[ue] Families. Juliet TONG [Tongue or Tonge] Excursus

probably of interest only to my sister Sophie Joyce Huie Cashdollar

and me. We are the last descendants of Juliet Tong Cotton

& her husband JOHN COTTON. He is buried in Botland near Bardstown, Kentucky, but 

she died while visiting her daughter Mary Elizabeth Cotton McCorkle in Dyer County,

and so is buried in the McCorkle Cemetery as JULIET TONG.

Hendricks Excursus:  Daniel Hendricks & Isabel Pendry of Rowan County,

NC, to Dyer County, Tennessee, buried McCorkle Cemetery.

Son: Uriah C. Hendricks; Granddaughter, Narcissus Elizabeth

Hendricks, the mother of Ira Mitchell Cope; mother of Delia Cope Grills

(Mrs. Riley Matthus Grills); and mother of Daisy Cope Henley (Mrs. Will 

Henley) of Trimble, Tenn.

This Excursus is planned eventually to include Daniel & Isabel Pendry Hendricks' 

Dyer County, Tennessee, Descendants, of which there were many.

1.            Daniel Hendricks (buried McCorkle Cemetery, Dyer County, Tennessee; married Isabel Pendry)

 and MacMahan /McMachan/ (or McMahon) Excursus  --early records exist for these folks in Mocksville,

Davie County, North Carolina

2.           Benjamin Huie of Cabarrus County, NC, then Rowan/Iredell Co., NC; then Newbern,-Yorkville, Tennessee, 1798-1879, 

died at the home of his son Joseph G. Huie (buried in Poplar Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery just east of Newbern). 

 Benjamin’s father was James Huie of North Carolina. I kinda suspect that James Huie was an immigrant but do not know.

  Virginia Jantz, genealogist, thought the Huie grandfather of Benjamin Huie was probably George Huie of North Carolina but could not prove it.

Is the following scan of a daguerreotype a representation of Benjamin Huie, 1798-1879?  If not, I think it's 

likely to be one of two James Scott men, either father or son:  either the James Scott who lived 1777 to 1853 & m. Sarah Dickey (Scott)

or their son the James Scott who was born in 1810 & married Violet B. Roddy (Scott). 

 I think this because this daguerreotype was in the album of

Mrs. Julius M. Huie (née Sarah Elizabeth Scott). "Sade" or Sarah's father-in-law was Benjamin Huie, and her father

 was the James Scott born in 1810 while her paternal grandfather was the James Scott born in 1777.

3.           A Catherine Huie, Daughter of a James Huie [we know Benjamin Huie’s father

 was a James Huie] married MAJOR JAMES E Kerr in  1833 in Salisbury, NC

4.            Huie-McEachran: Mrs. Peter Huie = Mrs. John McEachran  

5.            `````An Alexander Huie married Elizabeth McEachran, daughter of John McEachran. 

 An Elizabeth Huie married Hector McEachran.
