Notes for Calvin TICHENOR


The marriage of CalvinTichenor and Perlina Lay is recorded in Indiana records. 
Perlina's name is recorded in the marriage record as Pelina.  They were
married on 24 April 1836 in Perry County, Indiana.

Indiana Marriages, 1802-1892 (and Indian Marriage Collection, 1800-1941)
Calvin Tichenor and Pelina [Perlina] Lay, married 24 April 1836 in Perry
County, Indiana

We find a census record for this couple in the Perry County census for 1840. 
The household has two male adults aged 20-30, so one of Calvin's brothers was
perhaps living with them.  There is one adult female in the same age bracket,
which accounts for Calvin and Perlina.  They have one male child and one
female child under the age of 5.  This would account for their first son that
appears in the 1850 census by name:  William P.

But there is no girl child over 10 in the 1850 census.  William is 12 and his
brother Francis M is 10.  This seems to indicate that they had a girl who died
between these censuses.  Alternatively, it may be that Francis was reported as
a girl instead of a boy, which I have seen happen sometimes, even in later
censuses when the children are named and designated as Son or Daughter.

This son Calvin, 3 years old in 1850, and thus born about 1847, is the person
who married a Mollie later, and had another son named Calvin about 1877, and a
daughter Fairlee who married Matthew Butler in Arkansas County, Arkansas. 
There are many Calvin Tichenor cousins in this family lineage and it gets
confusing.

Notes for Calvin TICHENOR


The first public record I find of Calvin Tichenor, son of Calvin and Perlina,
is the 1850 census.  They are reported living in Perry County, Indiana, where
we can assume that Calvin was born.  He is age 3 in this census, making his
birth year about 1847.  Some reports make it about 1849, but if he is reported
as 3 in 1850, that is likely more accurate than later census ages.

Calvin's mother was Perlina Lay.  The marriage of his parents is recorded in

Pelina.  They were married on 24 April 1836 in Perry County, Indiana.

and his death in 1936.  The stone is a footstone saying "Father" and matching
that of his mother Molly Bonner Tichenor, but the date matches the birth date
of the son of Calvin Sr and Molly.  There is not stone for Calvin Sr in this
cemetery.  The death date for this Calvin is only 6 years later than Molly's
death.

Notes for Calvin TICHENOR


Calvin and Mollie Tichenor had a son named Calvin.  But there are several
Calvins in related lines of Tichenors.  The Social Security Death Index
records one as follows:

Social Security Death Index
Calvin Tichenor
Born 13 Aug 1889
Died Dec 1964
Last Residence Oklahoma
SSN 431-26-1143 issued Arkansas (Before 1951)

At first I assumed this was the brother of Fairlee Tichenor, but when
rechecking generations and census ages, I realized this could not be the same
Calvin who was the son of Calvin and Mollie.  His birth date is only 6 months
after that of their daughter Fairlee! This Calvin would have been a cousin of
Fairlee and her brother Calvin, but I am uncertain exactly who his parents
are.

Calvin Tichenor, son of Calvin and Molly, was born, according to his
gravestone, in 1877.

1880 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 7 June, Point DeLuce Township,
District 3, page 10, Hse #85, Fam #90

Tichenor, Nellie Dau W F Apr 1900  20 Single TN AR MO

The birthplace information for the children is puzzling.  They both differ,
and if correct, could not represent the same set of parents.  For instance,
Nellie is 2 months old and born in Tennessee, which matches the current
residence in Memphis.  Parents' birth states match those reported here for
Calivin and Nellie.  But Laura, born within the period of time Calvin and
Nellie are reported married, is reported as born in Missouri (maybe they
married in Missouri then moved to Memphis), but her father was born in
Missouri as well as her mother.

A grave in Mt Pleasant Cemetery reports the birth of Calvin Tichenor in 1877
and his death in 1936.  The stone is a footstone saying "Father" and matching
that of his mother Molly Bonner Tichenor, but the date matches the birth date
of the son of Calvin Sr and Molly.  There is not stone for Calvin Sr in this
cemetery.  The death date for this Calvin is only 6 years later than Molly's
death.

Hello, Thank you for your email.  Matthew O. Butler was my great grandfather. 
I did not know him, but I did know Fairlee Tichenor, my great grandmother. 
They actually had four children:  Matthew, Kirby B., Rosebud (who married and
became Rosebud Nicholson), and Benjamin Calvin.  Matthew died as a baby or
small child.  Rosebud, my favorite great aunt, died a couple of years ago at
around 93 years.  Benjamin Calvin died in 1985.  He either killed himself or
was murdered.  Kirby B. was my grandfather; he died of a stroke or a heart
attack in 1975.  Kirby Bonner Butler, Sr. (my grandfather) had 3 children:
Kirby Bonner Butler, Jr. (my dad), Pamela Butler, and Greg Butler.  My maiden
name is Laurie Lee Butler.  I have a twin sister and two brothers.

Notes for Catherine Wirt TILLEY


According to Lowrey family information, Catherine Wirt Tilley was born 28 Dec
1806 in Bladensburg, Prince George's Co Maryland.  P G County surrounds the
District of Columbia.  Catherine died in the late 1880s in Wewoka, Indian
Territory, which later became Hughes, County, Arkansas.

Catherine Wirt Tilley married Henry Lowry in on 11 Dec 1838 in the
Presbyterian Church in  Ft Wayne, Indiana.  She and Henry lived in
Williamsport, Warren County, Indiana.  These and other details are reported in
a genealogy prepared by their daughter Octavia, delivered to me through family
channels.

In 1860 we see them in White County, Indiana.  Their son John Tilley, a
medical studen, is the only child still in their home.

Family sources tell us Catherine's husband Henry died on 19 August 1862.  In
the 1870 census, we find that she and her son John Tilley Lowrey have moved to
Pike County, Indiana, where he is now working as a Physician.

Notes for Mary TILLY


The only wife of Thomas Forrester I have been able to document is named Mary
with no last name.  Mary's maiden name might be Tilly, found in one genealogy,
but not documented.  The first child reported here is also questionable.  This
may be a different couple.  Thsi Mary Tilly apepars in several other
genelaogies, byut as the wife of a John Forrester, not Thomas Forrester.

Mary Tilly
Birth 1797 in South Carolina, Death Unknown
Spouse Thomas Forester b 1794
Children Thomas Jr Forester 1818 - 1893, William Forrester b 1819
--  Shrum Family, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/351522/person/2016212303

A proposed wife named Sarah Harris is based on the combining of two different
families.  For instance, the Lance genealogy reports that Thomas P Forrester
married  Sarah (Sally) Harris in Kentucky, and that Sarah died in Kentucky. 
There is no evidence that our Thomas Forrester was ever in Kentucky, and much
counter-evidence,

Sarah Sally Harris
Birth 1803 in South Carolina
Death 4 Jul 1853 in Kentucky
Parents Benjamin Harris 1778-1861
Elizabeth Weaver 1779-1853
Marriage to Thomas P. Forrester 14 Mar 1822 in Harlan, Harlan, Kentucky
--  Lance Family, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/25164897/person/1617414395

This is not Thomas Forrester, father of William Forrester who married Zenith
Barnes.  I think the Kentucky place of birth and marriage is questionable for
our Thomas Forrester.  I have found no supporting evidence for Thomas
Forrester in Kentucky.  We find one or more individuals in Kentucky named
Thomas Forrester, but they are different people.

Some genealogies have combined information about two or more individuals named
Thomas Forrester, and one of these lived in Kentucky.  Birth seems to have
been about 1801-1803.  Our Thomas Forrester seems to have been born about 1794
in North or South Carolina, and moved to Georgia.

There was another Thomas Forrester born about 1796, who moved to Green County,
Missouri.  At least one genealogy has confused the death of this Thomas
Forrester with ours, reporting William's father as dying in Missouri when he
was still in his son's household in 1880 when he is almost 80 years old.

There is another man of the same name in Habersham County, Georgia, that I
have not definitely identified, and some consider to be the same as Thomas
father of William, who married Zenith Barnes.  There are several others named
the same in various states.  There seems to have been a William M Forrester,
whom some have also combined with our William, whom I cannot identify with any
middle initial.

Several genealogies have Sarah as the mother of William, even though he was
born 3 years before the marriage date of Thomas to Sarah.The facts do not
allow for Sarah Harris to be the mother for William.  The dates don't work out
correctly, since Sarah married a Thomas (perhaps Thomas P) Forrester in 1822,
while William was born in 1819.

I think it is further questionable that a Sarah Harris was even married to the
Thomas Forrester who was the father of our William Forrester who married
Zenith Barnes.  I have seen that information only on genealogies with no
sourcing, conflicting sourcing or conflicting facts and no actual source
record of the marriage.  A marriage date is given in several genealogies that
appear to be copying each other, but none explain where they got that date.

The fact that Thomas' wife in the 1870 census is named Mary allows room for
Sarah to have been an earlier wife, since she died in 1853.  But some propose
a Mary as the first wife, and William's mother, before the marriage to Sarah
in 1822.  Only one genealogy I have found has this Mary as the mother of
William, That Dedman genealogy has her name as J Mary.  But that genealogy has
confused at lest three different Thomas Forresters.

I have not been able to clearly identify the Thomas married to a Mary with our
Thomas Forrester.  The 1870 and 1880 censuses place him near his son William
(1870) or in his son's household (1880), so it seems odd he would have moved
from North Carolina up to Kentucky to marry his second wife, then move down to
Georgia, then his second wife die in Kentucky.  No, the Kentucky family is a
different family, and thus Sarah is likely the wife of another Thomas
Forrester.

The J in Mary J of the Dedman genealogy seems to come from a census he
attaches for 1850, where the members of a household are identified only with
initials and the husband is T and the wife is J.  He combines this with Mary
in another census.  The major problem is that the children of these families
do not seems to match.  I cannot tell they are the same family.

And censuses of individuals named Thomas Forresters from three states are
included in that genealogy, combining mutually exclusive families.  Further,
it appears the P in what some have as Thomas P comes from a census entry for a
