by Robert S. Davis, Director Family & Regional History Program Wallace State College Hanceville, AL 35077-2000

The United States government published lists of its employees roughly every two years from 1816 to 1914 usually as A Register of Officers and Agents, Civil, Military, and Naval in the Service of the United States or a variant on this title. State and country of birth appears for most of the Federal employee in the editions for September 1816, 1819, 1821, 1823, and 1825, including for most of the thousands of deputy postmasters across the country. As the men and women who filled these positions were usually local people old enough to have important political connections, they often were not likely to have lived long enough to appear in the 1850 census. This information often appears nowhere else. Major research libraries and archives have sets of these books although often on microfiche.The free web site Google Books includes the 1816 edition of this series.

For other sources for information on Federal employees see Claire Prelchtel-Kluskens, “Documenting the Careers of Federal Employees,” Prologue: The Quarterly of the National Archives 26 (1994): 180-83 and Genealogical and Bio- graphical Research: a Select Guide to NARA Microfilm, available on the Internet at http://www.archives.gov/publications/ microfilm-catalogs/biographical/.Holdings discussed in the latter publication include autobiographical applications for Federal jobs from presidents John Adams through U. S. Grant. Each of the booklets accompanying the respective microfilm for each administration includes an alphabetical list of the applicants.These records frequently mention personal history and connections. Applications to individual departments, such as Justice, State, Treasury, War etc. for employment have not been microfilmed and must be searched for in person or by mail from the NationalArchives and Records Admin- istration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001. Before the modern advent of the civil service exams, local political bosses chose postmasters; any of those applications have not survived.

Some other sources for place of birth for this period include Kenneth Scott, British Aliens in the United States during the War of 1812 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1979) and National Archives microfilm M233 Register of Enlistments in the U. S. Army for 1798-1914. The latter microfilm is reproduced on the subscription website Ancestry.com as “U. S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914” and can be electronically searched by name. The soldiers born in or serving from Virginia during the War of 1812 from that microfilm appear in Stuart Lee Butler, Virginia Soldiers in the United States Army 1800-1815 (Athens, Ga., 1986).

Persons born in Tennessee or working in Tennessee appear below with their respective jobs, place of birth, and residence. Not included here are the names of persons without place of birth given. The year or years of publication of the register[s] where the information can be found appears in brackets. These publications also include the annual pay to each employee. President James Madison (born Virginia), employed United States, for example, received $25,000 per year in 1816.

Tennessee Ancestors, August 2010 69 Descriptive Records, Department of Tennessee Grand Army of the Republic

transcribed by Raymond A. Sears

The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was an organization for Union veterans of the Civil War founded in Decatur, IL on April 6, 1866. At its peak in 1890, there were 8,652 posts with 409,489 members nationwide, who held meetings and sponsored reunions. At the last encampment in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1949, 16 veterans attended. Further information is available at the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War web page (suvcw.org/gar.htm). The Calvin M. McClung Collection of the Knox County Public Library has two volumes of the original rosters of the Tennessee chapters. These are titled “Descriptive Records, Department of Tennessee G.A.R.” Both volumes are available on microfilm. The index is by chapter name and number and by location. There is no master index for these volumes, and researchers will find individuals listed only under the names of their posts. Entries are on pre-printed pages and include space for information such as name, age, birthplace, residence, occupa- tion, entry into service, final discharge, related information, when and where died, where buried and remarks. The extent of the personal information actually supplied, however, varies considerably. For some posts, it is incomplete for part and sometimes all of the membership. The transcriptions prepared for Tennessee Ancestors includes the most pertinent of the personal information given. Ab- breviations: R=Regiment; V=Volunteer; M=Mounted; I=Infantry; C=Cavalry; A=Artillery; B=Battery; HA=Heavy Artillery Transcriptions of two chapters of the Tennessee rosters were previously published in Tennessee Ancestors: Post No. 1-George H. Thomas, Nashville, Davidson County (Volume 3 #2, December 1986); and Post No. 33-G.L. Williams, Union City, Tennessee, Obion County (Volume 1 #2). Transcriptions resumed in Volume 17 and will continue until all posts have been published.

Col. John J. Craig was born in Florence, Ala., Sept. 20th, 1820, died, July 31st, 1892, in Knoxville, Tenn. He was the youngest of a large family; his mother died leaving him an infant. He never knew what it was to have a mother care for him in his childish trials and sympathize with him in his sorrows; yet he grew up with the tenderest sensibility of a woman’s nature. He received just such an education as the country and a well to-do father afforded, but his best education was his constant association with the most refined people, the reading of the best books and periodical literature of the times. His father married the second time, and the young man left the parental roof to seek his fortune among comparative strangers. He did not long remain a stranger, however, as his pleasing manners and gentlemanly bearing soon made friends amongst such people as it was pleasant and profitable to know. He went into the house of Messrs. Wallace, McClung & Co., on his arrival in Knoxville. He remained with this firm for several years and gained the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. May 10th, 1848, he married Mary C. Lyon, daughter of Capt. William Lyon, one of the oldest and best known families in this State. Their married life was one of perfect happiness and continued in this relation over forty-five years; a beautiful illustration of how two persons can contribute to each other’s happiness. During all these forty-five years Col. Craig never failed to remember the 10th of May as one that had brought him so much happiness. For years they had annual celebrations of their marriage at the place where they first met, and each year Col. Craig presented the Lones Institute with some handsome present. Several years ago he presented the Institute with a beautiful bell with the understanding that on the 10th of each May the bell should be rung to commemorate his happy marriage day. The influence of his devoted wife’s constant religion was a living power with her husband; leading him gently and lovingly over the rough places and temptations of the world. Col. Craig was a man of spotless life, pure as a woman and as decided as a man who knew his own mind and dared to do what he knew to be right. His views of life were exalted; regardful of others as he would have others regard him; in a word, he was a gentleman of the Old School. He came to Knoxville the second time, in 1854, as cashier of the Union Bank of Ten- nessee, and continued in that position until the bank closed on account of the war. Afterwards he was engaged in business in Cincinnati and New York, but returned to his own adopted home in 1869 and spent the remainder of his life among those who loved him for his worth. He was the pioneer of the marble industry of Tennessee. Col. And Mrs. Craig had born to them seven children, only three living to mature years: Mrs. W. B. McMullen, W. L. Craig and John J. Craig, Jr., all residing in this city. He had an exalted idea of life and its duties, and his last days gave us full evidence of the purity of his life. For five long weeks he was a patient sufferer, awaiting the end with a calm resignation; willing to meet his maker, feeling fully satisfied in his own mind that he was ready to go. Kind friends kept him constantly reminded of their affection by sending a profusion of beautiful flowers each day. He often spoke of their kindness and expressed the hope that he would meet them in the beautiful beyond, and sending them loving messages of gratitude. While his journey through this vale of tears is ended, we feel confi- dent that his noble soul is resting peacefully in that beautiful home—the abode of the Pure and Just. J. A. R.

Craig Biographies The following biographies of the John James Craig, John James Craig, Jr., and John James Craig III are from the book Heart of the Valley: A History of Knoxville, Tennessee, pp. 510-512, edited by Lucile Deaderick, 1976, and published by the East Tennessee Historical Society.

Craig, John James (Sept. 20, 1820 – July 31, 1892), pioneer marble dealer and quarrier, was born in Lauderdale County, Ala., and came to Knoxville in 1839. He married Mary C. Lyon (1820 – 1904), of Knox County, whose family home was where Eastern State Psychiatric Hospital is now located on Lyons View Pike. For a while he was cashier of the Union Bank in Knoxville. In 1858 he began the construction of a house, named Lucknow, which was designed by an eastern architect and situated on a broad hill of eleven acres not far from East Tennessee University. The building was almost completed when the Civil War broke out. John J. Craig sold the house and went to Cincinnati and later to New York. (After the war Oliver P. Temple bought the property from Thomas J. Powell and renamed it Melrose.) In 1869 the John J. Craig family returned to Knoxville. The first John J. Craig and Company, quarries and dealers in marble, began in 1878; the city directory for 1882 lists the office location as Gay and Main streets. Children (who grew to maturity) of John J. and Mary (Lyon) Craig were W. L. Craig (1854 – 1904), John J. Craig, Jr. (1860 – 1904), and Mary (Mamie) Craig (Mrs. W.B. McMullen). The Craigs were buried in Old Gray Cemetery.

Craig, John James, Jr. (Sept.20, 1860 – Oct. 10, 1904), marble dealer and quarrier, was born in Knox County. He was educated at East Tennessee University and at Queen City Commercial College. He married Lucy H. Cage (1863 – 1927), a native of Canton, Miss. During his early career he was associated in the banking business in Canton, Miss., and in Hel- ena, Ark. On his return to Knoxville in 1886 he engaged in the marble business with his father. John J. Craig, Sr., built up the business until it was among the largest of its kind in the South; after separating from the Tennessee Producers Marble 76 Tennessee Ancestors, August 2010 Tennessee Family and Bible Records Company, the John J. Craig Company was reorganized in 1896 and has continued operations ever since. The family residence was at 1415 Highland Ave. Children of John J. Craig, Jr. and Lucy (Cage) Craig were John J. Craig, III (1885 – 1944), Lucile Craig (1887 – 1904), Albert Lyon Craig (1893 – 1953), and Emily Craig (Mrs. William Jay Donaldson). Craig, John James III (Feb. 17, 1885 – July 18, 1944), marble quarrier and dealer, was born in Canton, Miss. He was educated in the public schools of Knoxville but did not attend college because of the early death of his father. He worked in the family business as secretary and treasurer for a while, becoming president in 1914 and holding that office until his death in 1944. The Candoro Marble Company was born in 1914 as a marble manufacturing plant to saw and finish the marble blocks being quarried by the John J. Craig Company. The two companies always have been closely affiliated, and now (1975 ) they are consolidated, with the John J. Craig Company as the parent company and Candoro Marble Company as a wholly-owned subsidiary. They controlled quarries in Knox, Blount, and Loudon counties, and became the nation’s foremost producer of Tennessee pink marble and one of the largest importers of marble in the United States. They have furnished marble for buildings in Knoxville and in other cities. In Knoxville these include the U.S. Post Office (MainAvenue), State Office building (617 Cumberland Ave.), Criminal Court Building (South Gay Street), and interior marble for some University of Tennessee buildings. In Washington, D.C., several buildings were constructed of marble from Craig quarries: the Smith- sonian’s Museum of History and Technology, American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations Head- quarters, Australian Chancery, and, most notably, the National Gallery of Art, the largest marble building in the world. Two other marble producers of Knoxville also furnished marble for the last-named building, which was designed by the New York architectural firm of John Russell Pope. Representing this firm in the selection of marble was Malcolm H. Rice, who came to Knoxville for this task in the late thirties. Mr. Rice’s daughter, Joan, later married John J. Craig IV. In 1971, Mr. Rice again selected Craig and other marbles for an addition to the National Gallery of Art. The home of John J. Craig III and his family was at 6406 Westland Drive (which had been part of the old Lyon property), built in 1926 and designed by Barber and McMurry. He was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church, as preceding generations of the Craig family were. He was buried in Highland Memorial Cemetery. His widow, Mrs. Louise (Lennon) Craig, served as president of the companies for several years. There were two sons: John J. Craig IV, who became president about 1954 and still serves in that capacity; and William Donaldson Craig, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1949. Among the grandchildren are John J. Craig V and Jeffery Lyon Craig who are associated with the family business.

by Steve Cothan, Manager of McClung Collection While it is true that Tennessee did not begin to record birth and death records statewide until 1914, most people are only dimly aware, if at all, that many Tennesseans born before 1914 filed a delayed application for an official birth record with the state of Tennessee. They did this for a variety of reasons—employment records and social security being only two of the most obvious. Official birth records are closed to the public for 100 years byTennessee state law. The Tennessee Delayed Birth Re- cords for those persons born before 1908 have recently been microfilmed and released for research use by theTennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. The McClung Historical Collection has acquired these microfilm records. There is a single alphabetical index for all 900,000 applicants, based on the soundex system used with census record indexes. The index itself is a good research tool, even for records still officially closed, since it lists the name, birth date, county of birth, and mother’s first name and surname initial for each applicant. Some birth dates in this record group are as late as 1913. Records for those born prior to 1900 are in one series. Those born after 1900 are arranged in one group for each year, 1901-1913. Records on microfilm currently are available for births through 1907. Most individual files will contain a copy of the official Delayed Birth Certificate issued by the state Tennesseeof to the applicant, along with the name and residence of the applicant at the time the certificate was issued.A summary of the evidence provided as proof for the birth record is also a part of the file. Unfortunately the family bible records often cited as proof were not copied to be included in the file. Usually one or more individuals provided affidavits as part of the proof. These records open up an exciting new realm of family documentation for thousands of researchers with Tennessee ancestors born prior to 1914. The records should be especially helpful for those individuals born in the 1880s, whose first census records, which should have been taken in 1890, were destroyed by fire in 1921.

From 1942 to 1984, the East Tennessee published a quarterly newsletter known as Echoes from the East Tennessee His- torical Society. The newsletter featured not only organization news but also articles of interest to genealogists. Realiz- ing that these publications are no longer generally available to a new generation of researchers, we are featuring a series of select articles that we judge will be of most interest to our readers.

Register of Persons Who Wish Reservations under the Cheroke Treaty of July 8, 1817 reprinted from Echoes, July 1981, Volume 27, Numbers 2-4

In 1816 the United States Congress passed an act that would make each Cherokee head-of-household eligible to receive a free section (640 acres) of land, provided he took the oath of allegiance to the United States. This act was confirmed by Treaty with the Cherokee Nation, July 8, 1817, 7 Stat. 156, Proclamation, Dec. 26, 1817 1817, Article 8:

And to each and every head of any Indian family residing on the east side of the Missis- sippi river, on the lands that are now or may hereafter be surrendered to the United States, who may wish to become citizens of the United States, the United States do agree to give a reservation of six hundred and forty acres of land in a square to include their improvements which are to be as near the centre thereof as practicable, in which they will have a life estate with a reversion in fee simple to their children reserving to the widow her dower, the register of whose names is to be filed in the office of the Cherokee agent, which shall be kept open until the census is taken as stipulated in the third article of this treaty. Provided, That if any of the heads of families for whom reservations may be made, should remove there from, then, in that case the right to revert to the United States. And provided further, That the land which may be reserved under this article, be deducted from the amount which has been ceded under the first and second articles of this treaty.

This list as originally printed in Echoes was located (1981) by the late Loudon County Historian, Rhea Alexander, in the “Journal and Account Books of the Cherokee Agency, 1801-1807” kept by Return Jona- than Meigs, who was the federal Indian agent to the Cherokee from 1801 to 1823, headquartered at South West Point, now Kingston, Roane County, Tennessee. This transcription was likely by Jesse Mills, then editor of Echoes the head librarian for the Tennessee Valley Authority offices located in Knoxville. Mr. Mills worked with Ms. Alexander to identify the source and importance of the document. The work in identifying and transcribing the document and in locating information illustrates the contributions of these early genealogists to the field. They labored in the days before computers and databases brought these important resources instantly to our fingertrips.

The following is a transcription of the 100 or so names on the list.

The fort had been built by German immigrant Johann Justus Henckel and was under his overall command. Maria Eva Margaretha (Mueller) Biebel, the wife of Adam Biebel, and their daughter Eva Catherine Biebel, born in Pennsylvania in 1756, both are listed as ammunition makers with the mother named as “head of ammunition.” Less than two months after British redcoats fired on the citizens of Lexington and Concord in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775, starting the Revolutionary War, the Virginia militia company of Captain John Skidmore held a muster on 6 June 1775 at Fort Henckel. The fort was built by the family of German settler Johann Justus Henckel in the years between 1760-1762 for the protection of his family and other families in the surrounding area along the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River. The settlement later came to be called Germany Valley because of the large number of German families from Pennsylvania and other parts of Virginia who migrated to the beautiful isolated valley where they felt more secure from Indian attacks. A few years ago a French language New Testament dated 1672 was discovered, The 1672 dated French language New Testament owned by Joseph Louis Cheuvront , a that had once belonged to Joseph Louis blacksmith at Fort Henckel, Virginia in 1775, in which he recorded a large amount of Cheuvront, a young blacksmith who served genealogical information about the families of the forty-seven militiamen who served at the at Fort Henckel, and later married the fort commanded by Johann Justus Henckel.

He recorded the name, date of birth, name of wife, marriage date, and names and birth dates of the children of the militiamen. He sometimes recorded the origins of the family in the old country, especially those who came from his native Alsace, like the Biebel, or Bible family. He wrote into the record much about the organization of the fort, and how all the able-bodied women served their turn at lookout duty and also what other duties they performed such as caring for horses, making ammunition, bandages, etc. Two women were selected as nurses at each muster. It appears to have been a well- organized operation that served the small community well, while sometimes quartering and feeding troops and horses that were passing through for duty farther west. It was utilized for that purpose in 1774 during Lord Dunmore’s War against the Indians.

There is no map for the civil districts of Knox County at the time of the 1861 secession vote. This 1895 map is the closest to geographically defining the 1861 districts. Although six new districts were created in the 34 years between 1861 and 1895, it is still possible from this map to roughly distinguish the approximate location of the 19 districts as they were in 1861.

April 12, 2011, is the 150th anniversary of America’s plunge into its bloodiest war. Known as the Civil War or War Between the States, it resulted in upwards of 600,000 casualties. On that date in 1861, Fort Sumter was fired upon by Confederate batteries in Charleston, South Carolina. South Carolina was the first state to leave the Union, doing so on December 20, 1860.

The purpose of this article is not to provide a recap of the history of that conflict.To do so would be beyond the scope of this essay. Instead, as the Sesquicentennial of Tennessee’s own secession from the Union approaches on June 8, 2011, results on how the electorate in Knox County voted may be of interest to readers of this journal. To those researching their family history, the lists below may help determine whether or not an ancestor participated in this historic vote. Tennessee Ancestors, August 2010 95 Voter Lists and Election Results from Knox County, Tennessee

The Knox County Archives is privileged to maintain many of the early voting records recording the elections that took place since the county was incorporated in 1792. What follows are the voting lists and results of the secession vote that took place across Tennessee on June 08, 1861. The lists, unfortunately, are not complete. For example, the voter list from the 10th Civil District is missing completely. In other cases, such as in the polling of the 1st Civil District, tallies of the vote are not available, or the list of names is incomplete.

Despite not having all of the voting data at our disposal, it is apparent from the data that follows that Knox County voted predominantly to stay within the Union. Adding up the total number of votes cast in districts where there are accu- rate tallies of the results show a total of 3282 votes cast. Of that total, 2538 voted to stay in the Union while 744 voted for secession. Using this data, 77% of voters cast ballots to stay in the Union while 23% of voters cast ballots for secession.

Almost all of the votes for secession came from the 1st Civil District, which comprised the area of downtown Knoxville. As the lists below will show, in other districts, such as the 9th and the 18th, votes were evenly split between secession and remaining in the Union. In every other district within the Knox County, the vote was overwhelmingly against secession. In some districts there of was not a single vote cast for secession. In most districts, less than 10% of the votes were cast for secession.

Several of the districts have no tally to show which way their votes were cast. For example, in the 1st Civil District, there were two polling places: The Recorders Office (467 votes) and the Market House (311 votes). How did the vote go in that second polling place? It would be speculative to guess, but doing so would not have much effect on the results of this election. For example, 506 votes from this election were not tallied. Of these, 311 are from the 1st District downtown, and 195 are from the 11th District.

Given that the election results in the 1st District in the Recorder’s Office were a landslide for secession, it may be that the remaining ballots cast at the Market House could have been cast in a similar fashion. In the same light, the votes in the 11th District may have been cast in a similar manner as happened throughout the rest of Knox County. The table below represents these hypothetical results,

In conclusion, as the earlier results of the tallied votes show, the results of this election would still have been predominantly a vote against secession by the residents of Knox County. The surviving lists of voters and the polling result in each district may be found in the following lists.
