FAMILY GATHERINGS Prepared for publication by Mary Louise Graham Nazar
UNUSUAL WEDDING STORY OF PASCHALL-WILSON 1864 - Contributed by Betsy Foster West, 825 S. Perkins, Memphis, TN 38117
Dr. Newton Julian PASCHALL was born 21 May 1840 Weakley Co TN and died 12 Oct 1900 in South Fulton, TN. He married Sarah Jane WILSON, who was born 7 Feb 1844 Ballard Co KY (now Carlisle Co) and died 18 Jan 1921 S. Fulton, KY. She was the daughter of James Rutledge Wilson and Elizabeth Johnson HOLMAN (who lived near Milburn, KY). Newton and Sarah were married 17 Jul 1864 during the Civil War under very unusual circumstances. There are two versions of these circumstances: one written by Sarah and one appearing in the 1898 Fulton Daily Leader on three consecutive days penned by Newton.
Sarah's story: "The author of this article was sixteen years old when the war of the rebellion began. Although of immature age, I was very decided in my preference of the political situation. So with South Carolina blood tingling in my veins, I donned the secession badge, which was a rosette made of red, white, and blue ribbon cut half in two. \Vhile the Union Party wore the unsevered rosette and at that time were greatly in the majority in the community where I lived. But, nothing daunted, I wore mine pinned on the left breast as the pride of my heart ... In the spring of sixty-four the Southern troops were moved from Kentucky. But frequently parties were sent back for recruits, such as men and horses, and in July Capt. N.J. Paschall was detailed by Col. Ed. Crossland of Forrest's cavalry as recruiting officer into Kentucky. As we had previously arranged to get married, we decided to take advan tage of this perhaps last opportunity. So we managed to get a legal license and get a preacher brave enough to say the ceremony, but this was not done without some dif ficulty. Then the next thing was to get out of there (that is to get out of the Federal lines) for to our chagrin the news had reached Paducah that Paschall was in the country and also that he had married a girl near Paducah. And they immediately sent out a company of a hundred men to make search for the soldiers and also the bride. How the soldiers were to get out was not much of a problem as their tactics were to out run any crowd they could not whip. But alas for me, how was I to es cape? But the alert Capt. was equal to the emergency. And while he had his men vigilantly guard the movements of the enemy and cautioned to be sure to keep in the rear, he managed to secure the services of a little old gray-headed man who had a little old mule and an old delapidated buggy to convey me through this country to where we would De under the protection of the southern army. The arrangement being completed, the Capt. proceeded to get his men together with a number of new recruits. They made their escape in the night and got back to Col. Crossland with a very satis factory report."
"But my escape was to come yet. I did not know and did not much believe that they had had orders to molest me, but such were their threats and an excuse they made for searching houses as though they expected to find me under the beds or in closets, pantries, and trunks and other such places. But all I did was to keep advised where they were and keep out of their route. And this was not hard to do as they were not fond of prowling around when they thought there were southern soldiers in the woods. I waited a few days until the excitement lulled, and according to promise the little old man with the little old mule put in his appearance. He found me waiting dressed in very unassuming costume and wearing a sun bonnet. And about four o'clock in the morning we started on our trip. By the time people were stirring much through the country we were far enough away from home and acquaintance not to be recognized. As we plodded along through the heat and dust we had to stop several times to get water 100 "Ansearchin'" News
Family Gatherings (continued) and let our mules rest a little. And a little to our surprise as well as displeas ure, people eager for the news about what was going on would ask how far we had come and if we had seen any soldiers. As we couldn't tell them anything, they would tell us what they knew. We were told two or three times that 'Paschall is in here with a company of soldiers and they say he got married the other day, married a girl who lived down near Paducah.' The little old man never knew anything about it, and was ready to drive on. A little after sundown we reached our appointed destination. Next morning the old gentleman (for such he was) set out to return by a different route. I felt secure of being sent to prison or being exiled. What do you think of such a bridal trip?"
Newton's story: " ... That Western Kentucky and West Tennessee were disputed terri tory, first one and then the other occupying the grounds, and frequently both at the same time; and every now and [then] a collision of the blue and the gray would occur, and those who could not hold their ground would have to do the best running. At the time this narrative crystallized there were 'Yanks' at every crossroad, and the scouting 'Rebs' had to be ever wakeful and constantly on the lookout. There was a certain young Rebel soldier who had a sweetheart back in Kentucky, and it became noised about that they were married every time the young 'Reb' crossed the Yankee lines. The report became so notorious that it was very unpleasant to the young lady and annoying to the soldier. They, therefore, concluded they would get married, if they could, and stop the unpleasant talking."
"To procure marriage license and assemble a Rebel wedding party within the Yankee lines, with Yankee sympathizers filling every office at the county seats, required no little nerve, and was attended with many dangers. The young Rebel Captain de tailed twelve of his best men, all brave and well mounted, to accompany him through the enemy's lines and procure the necessary credentials, as well as the girl. The first county seat they attempted to enter to procure the necessary marriage license was found heavily guarded by Yankee soldiers, and strongly fortified. Another was sought, more distant from Yankee headquarters, and finally entered by circuitous routes; and by taking and holding one prisoner, captured on the way, least he might be induced to tell who he had seen, and where .•. In approaching the town or city limits the squad was halted; two men assigned picket duty on each road that entered the town; with instructions to advance at least one half mile and there remain until a signal of a pistol shot by the captain would call them in. Another detail was to take charge of all persons on the streets, hold them Status quo until authoritatively released. A third detail was made to accompany the captain through his ordeal with the officers of the law. When all except the last detail had gotten in position to comply with orders, the young captain dismounted and marched into the court house followed by his escort."
"Not having had the exquisite pleasure of meeting the Honorable County Court Clerk, a federal appointee, over a county whose people sympathized with the South and its soldiery, as much as South Carolina ever did, and had furnished as many Southern sol diers in proportion to population. It made it necessary to look out for the man who suited the description of the distinguished gentleman sought ...Whereupon, after a very brief, 'Howdy do!' the Captain stated his business. Says he: ;1 want a marriage license from this office for one Mr. to marry one Miss ,at your very earliest convenience.' The somewhat indignant~oking clerk replied~What did you say?' The Captain repeated what he had said before in a more emphatic manner. The dignified clerk this time replied, 'I don't understand you.' The Captain considered precious time unnecessarily consumes (sic) and drew from the scabbard of his belt one of his Fall 1989 101
Family Gatherings (continued) ever faithful army guns, pointed it in the direction that Mr. Clerk was sitting, and said: 'I guess you had better understand me at once?' 'All right! certainly,' says the affable clerk. 'What are the names please?' ... 'I would take you to be of lawful age to get married, but how old is the young lady?' ... This stumped the Captain be cause he doubted she was as old as the required twenty-one so he turned to his escort who said, 'I don't know, but she is older than me', whereupon the clerk said 'that's alright, I guess she is about thirty... ' The captain thought that for fear some might think that he had impressed his license he had better pay for them in the stan dard money of the country and gave the clerk the fee in Greenbacks, which set a quietus upon him for all time, so far as I know. That object having been accomplish ed, the next thing to do was to get out and get away from there...a single shot fired into the air from the Captain's pistol brought all the pickets in, in a long gallop and as the whole party darted out of town, they left the citizens pinching them selves and saying who am 17"
"The boys with us were all former citizens of that country and knew the ropes. We made a forced march that night, each man taking care of himself, either going to his home or seeking the protection of some of his friends in the vicinity. We had [an] understanding as to when and where we would come together again...Matters having gone thus far the young lady had made up her mind to get married and seek refuge further South, and the whole Yankee army, in her judgement, could not prevent it. That's woman. Thus continued the conditions and surroundings until the evening before the marriage was to take place the next morning, which was Sunday. Late Saturday after noon the Rebel squad re-assembled ...After lunch, and after all civilians should have been at home and at rest, the captain and his ever faithful comrade Bob, mounted their horses and setout to see if the way was clear and if the young lady was in readiness for the next day's flight and its consequences. They arrived at her boarding house, found the coast clear, whereupon the captain dismounted... He found the young lady somewhat excited from the rumors of the day...After arranging with her all prelimi naries for definite action the coming day, the captain stole his first kiss from his intended bride and hurriedly sought the midnight darkness and the rendevous of his command."
"The Captain's wardrobe consisted of a nice suit of military gray cloth, trimmed in polished brass buttons and gold braid that had been smuggled through the Yankee lines to him by the old friend whom he had held as a prisoner a few days before. His hat was a broadtrimmed, low-crowned black felt; such as a Southern planter feels proud of. It was decorated on one side with a silver star and plume of Ostrich feathers. His boots were of the old cavalry style, worn outside of the pants, coming up to and enclosing the knees; the heels being decorated by a large pair of spurs. His arms consisted ot two army six-shooters, of large size, carried in a belt worn, usually, outside of his coat, and when mounted, a carbine swung to his saddle. After the Captain had donned a clean shirt (a white one at that) the boys fell into line and proceeded to the house where they expected to find the young lady ready to elope. It was no surprise to find a horse saddled, the girl dressed in a nice gown, which rust led like silk; and which proved sure enough silk. In a short time she was mounted upon a horse, a good one, and as one of the boys had tendered the captain his horse for that day, it being the best in the expedition, it is reasonable to suppose that she and the captain led the way ...had we met on that flight a body of the enemy out numbering us four to one, the courage and determination we possessed would have made us charge through smoke, fire, missles of death and steel, although fatal wounds might have torn through our mortal bodies, but thanks to a kind Providence we did not encounter any until we had proceeded several miles and arrived at the place where we 102 "Ansearchin'" News
Family Gatherings (continued) were to meet the brave young minister who had been engaged to say the ceremony that was to unite the young couple for life, although it might be brief. In this in stance all dismounted, no one was detailed to hold horses, as was usual, but went straight into the house - not a prepared room or bridal chamber, but stood up in the floor just as they dismounted except each soldier reverently held his hat in hand while a brief and appropriate ceremony was performed, pronouncing them man and wife ..•permit me to state that all the survivors of that expeditiop so far as I have known, have been good citizens, loyal to the government they were then fighting and have reared respectable families ...

INDEX TO PROBATE RECORDS IN MEMPHIS/SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE ARCHIVES
In the 169 years of its existence, the Shelby County Court system has produced literally tons of papers which document the lives of its citizens. Those papers were boxed and stored in any available space, frequently shoved to the back as newer boxes of papers arrived. Fortunately, many of those boxes have survived the damage of time, soot and humidity and are now housed in the Memphis/Shelby County Archives, under the supervision of Dr. James R. Johnson, Head of the History Department, Memphis/Shelby County Public Library and Information Center.
Of special interest to genealogists are the loose papers from the Probate Court concerning the estates of deceased persons. For the past eight years volunteers from the Tennessee Genealogical Society have been separating probate records from county business and other court records. Papers were unfolded, cleaned, repaired, sealed in mylar if fragile, and organized for placement in acid-free folders. The folders are filed by year, estate number and name of the deceased. Some estates contain one piece of paper; some contain hundreds of pieces. The name of the deceased person may appear in several years; if there were minors involved, there was action on the es tate for a number of years. Some original wills were found, even though wills are usually housed separately in the Shelby County Courthouse.

The index to Probate Records in Memphis/Shelby County, Tennessee Archives in cludes names of Deceased, Administrators, Executors, Guardians, relatives, persons of the same surname, witnesses to wills and persons or places of special interest. Some estates contain many more names, such as lists of persons who purchased at a sale. These are not included in the index.

BOOK REVIEWS Marilyn D. Kimberling and Vyrah Mann
CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS OF CARTER COUNTY OKLAHOMA, VOL. III by Sandra Tedford. 1987. Soft back, 8Jxll. 231 pp, indexed. Order from the compiler, 200 Sherry Lane, Farmersville, TX 75031. $18.00 (TX residents add $1.26 sales tax)
Carter County Oklahoma was established in 1907 (the year Oklahoma became a state), from the Chickasaw Lands, with Ardmore as the County seat. The Rose Hill Cemetery is the largest and oldest cemetery in Ardmore. It is especially important to the researcher as some of the very earliest settlers were buried here in the late l880s. Another attraction of this cemetery is that a large number of veterans from all the wars, from the Spanish American to the Vietnam war, are buried here. The Confederate Home for Veterans is in Ardmore, and the Veterans Administra tion chose this cemetery for burial of the soldiers who died there. Though many of the sol diers are from Oklahoma, some are from other states - Ark, Tenn, Miss, Kans, Mo, & Ohio. The records have been copied with the researcher in mind. All pertinent information was copied; besides dates, some have where born, some have marriage dates and names of their children. Al so included in this volume is a map of the cemetery with the sections numbered and the various sections are copied and numbered accordingly, which is very beneficial.
GILES COUNTY, TN. 1840 FEDERAL CENSUS compiled by M. Janell McCann. No date. Soft back, 8Jxll. 40 pp, indexed. Order from author, 313 N. Chandler, Fort Worth, TX 76111. $15.00
Although the 1840 census did not assign a family number, Ms. McCann has kept the original order of the census, enabling researchers to know who is living a few houses up and down the road from their ancestor(s). Blue paper gives the index a distinct advantage. Pensioners of the Revolutionary War or other military service are included in the household count, yet separated by name and age. Also included in this annotated manuscript are the number within the house hold who are blind, insane, idiots, slave, or free colored persons. In the introduction the author reminds us of the changes within the county that time has wrought; changes of county lines, and changes of names of landmarks.

The book focuses on Christopher Francisco and Halana Bowen who moved to Claiborne Co TN, around 1859. Their children and grandchildren are covered in detail. Christopher Francisco's account book is of special interest; it names many of his neighbors in southwest Virginia from 1838 to 1858. "Time and Tide" has 105 photographs, is fully indexed and includes complete documenta tion. A limited number is being printed.

In 1794, Nathan Neighbors was born in Newberry County, S.C. He married Lucretia Murphy and they had five children; only two lived to maturity, James Monroe and his sister, Nancy Margaret. By 1~40 the family had moved to Lauderdale Co, Ala., and later mI6rated into Itawamba Co, Miss. Fall 1989 137

His descendants eventually moved into various counties of Missis sippi, and on into other states. The author's sources are census, church, cemetery, court house and family Bible records, also personal knowledge of family members.

Putnam County Tennessee was created in 1854 from White, Jackson, Overton and DeKalb Counties. The first census consists of 1353 families, most of whom were farmers.

1796 1996
One event which is important to every facet of Tennessee history is the celebration of the Bicentenary of Tennessee Statehood. The actual date is 1996, but plans are already made for three public meetings sponsored by the Tennessee Historical Society. The purpose of these meetings is to find out what are the needs in each field of our history and how they can be met during the bicentennial era. Meeting dates are:
West Tennessee - 7 Oct 1989 Carnegie Center for Art and History 305 East College St., Jackson, Tennessee
Middle Tennessee - 14 Oct 1989 First American Center Auditorium 326 Union St., Nashville, Tennessee
East Tennessee - 28 Oct 1989 Candy Factory, World's Fair Park 1010 Laurel Ave., Knoxville, Tennessee
All meetings will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude by mid-afternoon.
The Tennessee Historical Society's executive director, Jim Summerville, emphasized that the meetings will be free and open to everyone. "We want all Tennesseans who love the history of their area and state to come and propose historical projects that they'd like to see carried out from now through 1996 and beyond."
