Divorce: Grandison D. Nevill and Minerva Peterson

© Kathy Duncan, 2017

Finally, the divorce record of Minerva and Grandison D. Nevill has surfaced.

It turned up online in a PDF entitled "Landowners From Lost Circuit Court Minutes, 1807 - 1855" from the notes of Matt G. Lyle (1872 - 1950), compiled by Irene M. Griffey. This document is located on the tngenweb site. As an attorney, Lyle spent a large portion of his career researching Montgomery County Circuit Court records to establish land ownership titles. These records come from his private notes. They are important because courthouse fires in 1878 and 1900 supposedly destroyed the circuit court records. However, there are an astounding number of Montgomery County, Tennessee records that are available. It is more likely that the circuit court records were lost in a fire in 1895:

A PANIC IN A TENNESSEE COURT ROOM

The Roof Fell In and the Building Was Wrecked by Fire.

Clarksville, Tenn., Feb. 8. -- During a trial in the Circuit Court room at Court House this morning the roof of the structure fell, causing a panic among the crowd in attendance at the trial. The building instantly caught fire, and in the rush for safety William Joslyn's leg was broken and a number of other persons sustained serious injuries. Judge Wilson jumped from a window to the ground, a distance of thirty feet, and was slightly hurt. Owing to the intense cold the firemen had hard work fighting the flames. The loss is probably $15,000.

 [Source: The New York Times, New York, NY 9 Feb 1895]

But I digress. In Lyle's notes was the following record:

NEVEILL, MINERVA vs GRANDISON NEVILLE. Sep Term 1836. Divorce. And doth accordingly order adjudge and decree and that the Complt. be and she is hereby divorced from the bonds of matrimony heretofore solemnized between her and the said defendant and restored to all the rights of a femme sole. The Court doth further order, adjudge and decree that she had the entire and sole right to all the property of every kind to which she is entitled free from the claim of her husband.

Circuit Court Minute Book 1836-1840, page 19

This final decree is just a few months after Minerva Nevill ran her divorce notice in June 1836.

Lyle's additional notes reveal that in 1838 and 1839, there was a dispute between Minerva's mother Nancy Peterson and her children, including new son-in-law Meredith Howard (Minerva's second husband) over the land they had inherited from father Roland/Rowland Peterson. The upshot was that the land would have to be sold. Lyle must have been researching this to establish a title for a later landowner or for one of the Petersons. Minerva's divorce from Grandison Nevill would have been important because they were married at the time Minerva's father Rowland Peterson died in 1835. It would have been important to establish that Grandison D. Nevill had no claim to her property.

Roland Peterson's 1820 will names only his wife Nancy and son Isaac. All the other children are unnamed. It is a very brief will, lacking in specifics. It can be found in Montgomery County, Tennessee Wills 1834-1836, vol G, beginning on page 209.

Rowland Peterson's property sale was held on 23 December 1835, but was not recorded until April 1836. This record is in Montgomery County, Tennessee Wills 1834-1836, vol G, beginning on page 306. The Nevills purchased several items at the sale, but due to the handwriting it is very difficult to tell when the purchase is made by Mr. Nevill or Mrs. Nevill. This is a list of the items purchased by the couple:

Mr. Nevil 1 mare 51.37 1/2
Mrs. Nevil 1 set of window curtains .50
ditto 1 Table 6.75
Mr. Nevill 1 Lot of glass 2.50
ditto 1 set of cups & saucers .50

ditto sugar Bowl & ? .25
Mrs. Nevil 2 candlesticks .25
ditto 1 Beareau 17.00
ditto 1 looking glass 2.50
Mr. Nevill 1 dozen plates .75
Mrs. Nevill 1? .25
Mrs. Nevill 1 Basket .25
Mrs. Nevill 2 ars .56 1/4
Mr. Nevill 1 smoothing iron .12 1/2
Mr. Nevill 1/2 doz chairs 3.00
Mr. Nevill 1 set ? for curtain .34
Mrs. Nevill 1 Bed of furniture 10.00
Mr. Nevill 1 oil cloth 1.00
Mr. Nevill 1 set of Knives & forks 1.50
Mrs. Nevill 1 ? iron .13
ditto 1 tea Kettle & ? .50
ditto 1 pair andirons & shovell 37 1/2

From the sale total of $1,407.74, $61.37 was deducted because it was for the sale of a horse and bed that belonged to Minerva Nevill. Minerva and Grandison Nevill had purchased her property to keep it from being sold to someone else, and then had the amount of the sale credited to them.

This is the record that ties Minerva Nevill to the Peterson family.

If any Howard or Peterson researchers have any additional information, I would love to hear from you.

Susannah (Walton) Nevill Surprises Her Descendants

© Kathy Duncan, 2017

The title for this entry is as a bit of an understatement. Recently, I was cautioning another researcher that our ancestors surprise us all the time. In the other researcher's case, my work had connected a group of half siblings to her grandfather, and no one on that side of the family, who is now living, has ever heard of these people before. She is understandably taken aback.

Today I am joining her with my own unsettling and surprising revelation in my Nevill line. The more I research a family line, the more I think I know them. They become full blown characters in my mind. This is the case with Solomon Nevill Sr. and his wife Susannah (Walton) Nevill. After researching this line since the early 1980s, I had developed a clear picture of them. They had migrated from the Orange County, North Carolina area to the Montgomery County, Tennessee area shortly after 1810. At the time of their migration, they already had a large family of children, most of whom were born in North Carolina. Susannah's extended family, including the Waltons, Meriweathers, and Barkers, also migrated to the Montgomery County, Tennessee/Todd County, Kentucky area. According to the census, Solomon was a farmer, and they appear to have lived out the rest of their days in Montgomery County, Tennessee. That seemed pretty straight forward until I started digging through Montgomery County, Tennessee deeds last night. That's when Susannah (Walton) did a mic drop.

In my decades' long search for Grandison D. Nevill and his second wife Martha E., I've compiled over 100 pages on his siblings and their children. I have not started posting it here because it's, dare I say, incomplete? I am going to post the bare bones of what I had on Solomon Nevill Sr. and wife Susannah Walton here, and then I will add the new twist information. That's my way of warning you that this is a long post.

For those of you who have been researching Solomon Nevill Sr. and wife Susannah Walton, this first bit of what is known about them is pretty standard fare, and you probably also have it in your notes, but I am going to run through it first...

Solomon Nevill Sr. was born 15 April 1777 in North Carolina to Jesse and Elizabeth (Parks) Nevill. He married Susanna Walton, daughter of Edward and Barbara (Hester) Walton.

Edward Nevill McAllister, a descendant of Grandison Dandridge Neville and an early, avid Nevill researcher, left in his research papers a transcript of Solomon Nevill's bible, which was owned at that time [no date given] by Mrs. Bessie G. [Glascock] Moss. This is a copy of the McAllister transcript:

"Solomon Nevill was born April 3, in the year of our Lord, 1777
Susanna Nevill, his wife was born December 15, in the year of our
Lord 1775.
Solomon and Susanna Nevill was married March 17, 1795.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward W. Nevill was born April 5, in the year of our Lord, 1798.
Jesse P. Nevill was born August 27, in the year of our Lord, 1799.
Barbara H. Nevill was born Oct. 23, in the year of our Lord, 1803.
Edwin W. Nevill was born Jan. 24, 1806.
Solomon C. Nevill was born Feb. 1, in the year of our Lord, 1808
Elizabeth W. Nevill was born Nov. 2, 1809.
Granderson D. Nevill was born August 21, in the year of our Lord 1812
Susanna O. Nevill was born Nov. 30, in the year of our Lord, 1814.

Died
Solomon Nevill, Sr. departed this life Jan. 20, 1848, being 70 years,
9 months, and 12 days old.
Edwin Walton Nevill departed this life Nov. 5, 1871.
Betsy Ann Peoples was born Oct. 5, 1819 died Oct 20, 1894."

This morning I am realizing that I should have questioned why Susannah (Walton) Nevill's death is not recorded if she predeceased Solomon Sr. Additionally, if any of the elder sons died young, why aren't their death dates recorded as well?

The Edward Walton Nevill papers (in the vertical file of the Clarksville, Tennessee public library) contain a 1946 letter from Robert F. Vaughan of Louisville, Kentucky, who reported owning Solomon Nevill's bible. In his letter to Frank Barker, written on 5 December 1946, Vaughan reported that the bible had been in "cold storage" for quite a while and that it was in bad condition; however, he "rescued" the following information from it:

"Solomon Nevill was born April 5, 1777 and died January 21, 1848.

He married Susanna Walton who was born December 15, 1775 and died September 5, 1841.

The following children born to this union:

Edward Walton Nevill Born April 5, 1798
Jesse Parks Nevill Born November 7, 1799
John Sims Nevill Born August 27, 1801
Barbara Hester Nevill born October 23, 1803
Edwin Walton Nevill Born January 24, 1806
Elizabeth Whitley Nevill Born February 1, 1808
Solomon Corbin Nevill Born November 2, 1809
Grandison Dandridge Nevill Born August 21, 1812
Susanna Orange Nevill Born November 30, 1814"

Given the differences between these two transcripts, they appear to be from two different bibles, the former descending through Edwin Walton Nevill's family and the latter through sister Elizabeth Whitley (Nevill) Vaughan's family.

Edward N. McAllister's transcript is important because it provides a wedding date for Solomon and Susannah (Walton) Nevill as well death dates for Solomon, his son Edwin W., and Edwin's second wife Elizabeth Ann (Peoples) Nevill. Robert Vaughan's transcript is important because it provides the middle names for all of Solomon Nevill's children and reports a death date for Susanna (Walton) Nevill that is missing from the bible owned by Moss. As of this morning, I realize that it is odd that Solomon's death date is not included in the Vaughan transcript, but that might be attributed to its bad condition.

Note that neither bible record provides a middle initial or name for Solomon Nevill. That, however, is a topic for another day.

Census records for Solomon and Susanna (Walton) Nevill:

1800, Orange County, North Carolina, p. 523:

Benjamin Nevil  00100 - 00100; 4 slaves
Solomon Nevil  20100 - 00100; 9 slaves
Jessee Nevil  12201-21011

At this time the Solomon Nevil household was composed of--

one male under ten = Jesse Parks Nevil
one male under ten = Edward Walton Nevil
one male 16 - 26 = Solomon Nevil Sr.
one female 16 - 26 = Susanna (Walton) Nevil

1810, Orange County, North Carolina, p. 819:

Sol Nevill  31010 - 2001; 11 slaves

The household is composed of--

one male under ten = Solomon Corbin Nevill
one male under ten = Edwin Walton Nevill
one male under ten = John Sims Nevill
one male 10 - 16 = Jesse Parks Nevill
one male 26 - 45 = Solomon Nevill Sr.
one female under ten = Elizabeth Whitley Nevill
one female under ten = Barbara Hester Nevill
one female 26 - 45 = Susanna (Walton) Nevill

1820, Montgomery County, Tennessee, p. 219:

Solomon Nevell  120110 - 11010

The household is composed of --

one male under 10 = Grandison Dandridge Nevell
one male 10 - 16 = Solomon Corbin Nevell
one male 10 - 16 = Edwin Walton Nevell
one male 16 - 26 = John Sims Nevell or Jesse Park Nevell or Edward Walton Nevell
one male 26 - 45 = Solomon Nevell, Sr.
one female under 10 = Susanna Orange Nevell
one female 10 - 16 = Elizabeth Whitley Nevell
one female 26 - 45 = Susanna (Walton) Nevell

Either two of the elder sons have moved, or they are deceased. Neither Edward Walton Nevill nor Jesse Parks Nevill appears as a head of household in Montgomery County, Tennessee in 1820. Evidently, Barbara Hester Nevill, who is about seventeen years old, has married Needham B. Farrier and moved out of the home. There are slaves present in the household, but the columns need to interpreted.

1830, Montgomery County Tennessee, p. 39:

Soloman Neville  00001001 - 00020001

The household is composed of --

one male 20 - 29 = Edwin Walton Neville?
one male 50 - 59 = Solomon Neville Sr.
one female 15 - 19 = Susanna Orange Neville
one female 15 - 19 = Rachel (Higginbotham) Neville, wife of E.W.?
one female 50 - 59 = Susanna (Walton) Neville

Son Edwin Walton Neville and Rachel Higginbotham had married only a few months prior to the census and are likely living with the Nevilles since E.W. Neville does not appear separately on the 1830 census. Elder sons Edward Walton Neville, Jesse Park, Neville, and John Sims Neville do not appear as heads of household in 1830.

1840, Montgomery County, Tennessee, p. 263:

Soll Nevill  000000001 - 0

Soll Nevill's household is composed of --

one male 60 - 70 = Solomon Nevill Sr.
Susanna (Walton) Nevill is not present

Solomon C. Nevil 000001 - 120010001

Son Solomon C. Nevil's household is composed of --

one male 30 - 40 = Solomon C. Nevil
one female under 5 = March C. Nevil
one female 5 - 10 = Barbara Ann Nevil
one female 5 - 10 = Eugenia C. Nevill
one female 20 - 30 = Frances Bell Slaughter Long
one female 60 - 70 = Susanna (Walton) Nevill?

By 1840 Frances B. S. (Long) Nevil had endured at least six pregnancies, but only three of her children survived infancy. This may explain the presence of what appears to be Solomon C. Nevill's mother Susanna (Walton) Nevill in the household. She had probably gone to lend the family a hand since Frances was likely also pregnant with daughter Frances Nevil who was born in 1840.

Now for the mic drop...

Last night I began reading Montgomery County, Tennessee deeds online at FamilySearch. These had been unavailable to me previously. They are located in the online catalog. Anything in the catalog with a camera next to it can be easily accessed. Just click on the camera.

This is a deed from Susanna Nevill to E.W. Nevill and others found in Montgomery County, Tennessee, Deed Bk. S, 1840 - 1842, pages 320 - 321 [image 166-167]:

"Susannah Neville
To } Deed
E.W. Neville & others

Know all me by these present that I Susannah Neville having by deed of separate maintenance from Solomon Nevill Sr. bearing date the 20th April 1838 and conveyed to Solomon Neville Jr. three negroes to wit Phebe Jackson & Louisa one thousand and sixty dollars in notes and one horse for my use and benefit and subject to any future use I chose to make of it in writing in the presence of two respectable witnesses I therefore by virtue thereof do hereby direct and appoint that sd property it increase as well as any other property I may hereafter acquire to the exclusive use and benefit of my children as hereafter named viz Jackson to my daughter Barbara Farrier the balance of my property of whatever kind to be equally divided between four of my children to wit my son Edwin W. Neville and Solomon C. Neville my daughters Barbara Farrior & Elizabeth W. Vaughn provided always that in case any of the above named persons receive a legacy from their fathers estate equal to their interest in the above named property to be null and void and so much thereof as would have fallen to their portion to be equally divided the others specified in this instrument to have and to hold the same their heirs and assigns forever

after my death reserving to myself the entire use and control of said property as fully as the same is given to me by virtue of said deed during my life time. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this the 20th April 1838.                  Susanna Nevill
Teste  Saml Wade
William Neblite
State of Tennessee  }
Montgomery County}
Personally appeared before me Samuel McFall clerk of the County Court of Montgomery County William Neblete Samuel Wade the subscribing witnesse to the within named deed of gift who bring first sworn depose and say that they are acquainted with Susanna Neblete (sic) and the within named assignor and that she acknowledged the same in their presence to be her act & deed on the day it bears date. Witness my hand at office this 3d day of January 1842.   Samuel McFall
Registered 17th January 1942  Received January 6th 1842"

The upshot of this deed of separate maintenance is that Solomon Nevill Sr. and wife Susannah Walton separated or divorced in April of 1838. Note the wording of the document. She names "four of my children," which does not mean that she only has four children living at that time.

On 7 February, 1842 S.C. and E.W. Neville sold Pheby and Louisa,  who they had received by deed to gift from the late Susan Nevill to John R. Harris for $300. This record is also in Deed Book, page 356.

On 2 February 1842, N.B. Farrior, husband of Barbara Farrior, sold Jackson, aged 10 or 12, to J.R. Harris, for $500. Jackon had been inherited by deed of gift from Susan Nevill, dec'd. This record is also in Deed Book S, page 356.

So why isn't my Grandison D. Nevill, who was also living in 1842, included in Susanna Nevill's deed of gift to her children? On 7 April 1838, just 13 days before Susanna's deed of separate maintenance was drawn up, Solomon Nevill Sr. had given his son Grandison D. Nevill four slaves: Judah and her sons Lewis and Albert, and girl named Mary. No valuation is recorded. What is of note is that the deed was registered 19 April 1838. Is it a coincidence that it was registered one day before Susanna's deed of separate maintenance was drawn up? I don't think so. This record is in Montgomery County, Tennessee, Deed Book P, page 427 [image 224]

The slaves Grandison D. Nevill received from his father were eventually valued for more than the slaves that Susanna received through her deed of separate maintenance. This is likely the reason he was not included - because he had just received this substantial property from his father. Or, she viewed the transaction between Solomon Sr. and Grandison as a scheme to move property out of Solomon's possession so that she would not be entitled to it in the separation or divorce.

In any event, on 3 December 1838, Grandison D. Nevill sold Judah age 25, Lewis age 6, Albert age 4, and Delilah age 6 months to Joab Hardin for $1,400. By then, Grandison D. Nevill was a resident of Dickson County, Tennessee. This record is in Montgomery County, TN Deed Book R, page 1 [image 288].

My tentative conclusion is that there were two bibles: his and hers. Each has a record of their own death but not the other's death. This may even be a sign of a split of allegiance among the children--that the children did not record both deaths in both bibles. Since they were still separated at the time of Susanna's death, if their graves are ever found, I do not expect them to be together. Plus, I suspect that she was, in fact, living with son Solomon C. Nevill in 1840.

My biggest question will probably never be answered. What happened?? Why did Susanna at the age of 60+ decide that she could no longer live with Solomon?

Now I need to poke around for a deed of separate maintenance, which I have not found yet in the Montgomery County Deed Books. Maybe Court Minutes? Additionally, I need to read all of the Nevill deeds in Montgomery County, Tennessee.

Louise (Davis) Dendy Family Tree

This is the family tree for my great-grandmother, Louise (Davis) Dendy. I do not believe that Joshua Davis and his wife belong on this tree.

And there are the children of her great-grandfather, John Renfro who died in Gibson County, Tennessee:

Davis, Dendy, Yarberry Photographs

It's a rainy day, and good time to scan and add some family photographs. These will also be added to FamilySearch and Findagrave.

First up is a photograph of my great-grandmother Louise (Davis) Dendy. This photograph is a tintype. Notice that at some point the corners were clipped off. Tintypes were taken over wide period of time, so I will have to use clues in her hairstyle and clothes to date this at another time. She has very dark eyes, which my great aunt Arleen (Dendy) Deaton referred to as "snapping black eyes."

Lousie (Davis) Dendy

Louise Davis was born in Texas in September of 1880.

Next is a photograph of Louise's mother, Mary A. Lavaney or Lavinia (Yarberry) Bittick Davis. She was born in 1843 in probably Gibson County, Tennessee. These photographs were taken on the same day. Notice the similarity in the clothes and the floral corsages. Mary is well into middle age although her hair is still dark. She has the same dark eyes as Louise. Also, they share the same set of the mouth and similar noses. This photograph is also a tintype with the corners clipped.

Mary A. L. (Yarberry) Bittick Davis

This photograph is of Louise's father, Eli Van Buren Davis. He was born in 1844 in Tennessee. He and Mary married in Hempstead County, Arkansas in 1867. This is also a tintype with clipped corners. No doubt this was taken on the same day as the others. I wonder who else in the family had their picture taken that day? Yet another prominent nose. Eli's hair is also starting to recede. I have a cousin who bears a very strong resemblance to him.

Eli Van Buren Davis

The next picture has received a lot of wear, but fortunately their faces are all still visible. The three Davises are older here. This picture was taken when Louise Davis was in her late teens. She married at the age of about 22 in 1902, so this photo is older than that. This photograph was made by a studio in Clarksville, Red River County, Texas. Not only can the clothes be used to help this date this photograph, but the style of the card it is mounted to can be used to date it. If I can find information about the photography studio, that will also help me to date the photograph.

Left to right: Eli Van Buren Davis, Louise Davis, Mary A. L. (Yarberry) Davis

At one time my grandmother told me that this was a picture of her parents, Louise Davis and Buford W. Dendy. That would suggest that it is picture that was taken when they married. At another time she said that it was a picture of Louise Davis and her brother, William Thomas Davis. I do not have another picture to compare with "Uncle Bill Davis," but I think that this fellow more closely resembles my great-grandfather Buford W. Dendy. If this is their wedding picture, it was taken in 1902.

Louise Davis and Probably Buford W. Dendy

This is photograph of Reba Louise Davis, the first born child of Louise (Davis) and Buford W. Dendy. This is also a "hidden mother" photograph. You can see Louise's arms (on the right) as she holds Reba steady, suggesting a baby that cannot quite sit upright on her own yet. Reba died a few months after her third birthday and was forever afterward referred to as "Baby Reba." To my knowledge, this is the only baby picture taken of any of the Dendy children. It was probably taken in late 1903 or early 1904. Notice that the plain, dark card stock does not have a photographer's mark.

Rebe Louise Dendy

After 1910, Eli Van Buren and Mary (Yarberry) Davis joined their daughter Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Hardy in west Texas. At that time, they all lived in Hedley, Donley County, Texas. This a photograph of Louise's sister Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Hardy and family.

William James and Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Hardy and Children

Seated on the left is father, William James Hardy. Standing to the right is Charlie James Hardy. Standing behind him is William Thomas Hardy. Seated is mother, Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Hardy. In her lap is baby Dollie May Hardy. The girl standing on the far right is Myrtie (Hardy) Bain.

Meanwhile, Louise (Davis) and Buford W. Dendy's family was also growing. 

Buford W. and Louise (Davis) Dendy and Children

The boy on the far left is Burl C. Dendy. Seated is father, Buford Watts Dendy and wife Louise (Davis) Dendy. In her lap is baby Arleen (Dendy) Deaton. The boy on the far right is Orval Van Dendy. This is the last photograph of my great-grandmother that I have seen. This photograph would have been taken some time around 1910 or 1911. My great-grandmother had three more children before she died of the flu in 1918.

Her sisters grew old without her, and as they aged, they looked more like their mother. On the left is elder half-sister Laura Ann (Bittick) Smith and on the right is sister Mary Elizabeth (Davis) Hardy.

Elizabeth, Wife of Ambrose Chapman

© Kathy Duncan, 2017

Documentation for the surname of Ambrose Chapman's wife Elizabeth has eluded me for years. They lived in Marion County, Georgia and are buried in Phillipi Baptist Church Cemetery in neighboring Schley County, Georgia. Both were born in South Carolina in the first decade of the nineteenth century.

For years I've seen her name as Elizabeth Griggs or Greggs. Supposedly, she was Ambrose's second wife. His first wife was supposedly Elizabeth Allen. No one has ever come forward with any documentation to support either wife. Did their names come down through oral tradition? A family bible?

Then along came FamilySearch.org with their growing collection of records. It is possible to search for documentation for an individual through the family tree and attach the documentation or source. On FamilySearch a large number of children have been attributed to Ambrose Chapman.

Many of these children did not die until the early twentieth century, which means they might have death certificates that name their father AND mother. One of the best strategies for research is to gather as much information on all the children as possible. With that in mind, I started using FamilySearch's search engine to link sources to the Chapman children.

The first the death certificate that I found was for son Ambrose Taylor Chapman, who died 5 January 1930 in Marion County, Georgia:

Click on Image to Enlarge

While Ambros Chapman is named as the father, the mother is given as "unknown." That of course, is disappointing.

The second death certificate that I found was for daughter Mary Jane (Chapman) Woodall, wife of Abner Woodall, who died 23 April 1927 in Taylor County, Georgia. 

Click on Image to Enlarge

Her death certificate provides the information that her father was Ambers Chapman and her mother was Elisabeth Griggs. This the only documentation that I have ever found for Elisabeth Griggs. Of course, Mary Jane's death was 87 years after her birth and 53 years after Elisabeth's death, so it is a secondary source at best. Still, it's the only documentation that I have so far for the Griggs surname.

I still have hope of setting eyes on the death certificate for daughter Martha Dandridge (Chapman) Allison who died in 1928 in Ashley County, Arkansas.
