Came to Ky as a boy in 1850 from N. C. Lived with his brother Robert until he was 25 years old. Buried NEAR BAKER SCHOOL HOUSE CLOSE TO Dixon, KY.     He wanted to serve in the Southern Army but there were no guns for him. He ran "salt" wagon from the Illinois line through Kentucky for the South desperately needed salt.  His route was in an area called the "strip", which was populated by southern sympathizers.     As told by Aunt Lennie (Brown) Martell     Some Notes on Grandpa's Life:     Alexander Gray Brown My father died in the fall before I came to Kentucky with my bother, mother and sister.  My father's name was William Brown.  I was born twelve miles from Hillsboro, Orange Co., North Carolina.  June 3, 1836.     I came to Kentucky in the fall of 1850 in company with mother, Mary Morrison Cummings Brown, and sister Margaret Jane Brown, who afterward married Chester Dossett who came out here at the same time, and brother Robert Brown who was older than I.  Brother John came with us to Tennessee, and stayed there until the next fall, then came to Poole, Kentucky where he located first.     Brother Dave Brown came one year before I did, and married Mary Thornsberrie- Russell's daughter, the next year after I came.     Bill Dossett, Bill Garrett, Tom Freeland, Bill Hutchinson, Cester Dossett and Margery Hopkins and 6 negro slaves; Nathan Edd, Ellen, Nathan's wife, Mariah Nathan's sister: Juleitt, a little girl; and old Aunt Nancy who had been in the family of Brown since before my father was born.  Us children called her mamma, and she would fight for us if she though one tried to run over us.     Bob Brown married Macy Elizabeth Leathers in North Carolina and his son James Lipacomb Durham Brown learned to walk on the way out here.     I was 14 yearsd old when we emigrated to Kentucky.  I lived near Mudtown, about 6 or 7 miles from Poole.  White Lick Creek emptied into Highland Creek about a mile above Mudtown.  I lived between Poole and Mudtown 6 years, then we went to McLean Co.  Worked for Bill Halbrooks and Bau MCFarland, came back to Petersburg and cast my first vote for Buchanan- lived at brother Bobs till I married when I was 25 years old.     I married Bill Duncan's daughter, Susan Elizabeth who died in less than a year.  The in a little over a year, I married - J.

He was a big tall slender man.  He was't big, but he was tall and he would drive a buggy down in there and stay, I don't know how long he would stay, I guess a week and I guess at Mr. Brown's longer than that.   And he drove a buggy down there one time and the colored people, white, too, this happen to be a colored one.  They stole his buggy wheels off from his buggy and Everitt Givens knew a little something about it, I don't know how he knowed about it, he just knowed that type, and he told them, they better get them wheels back on that buggy and they got the wheels back.  He'd be stranded down there without a way to get back.     He lived with Mr. Dave Brown up there in Dixon."     Source: Pioneers, Preachers, and Pretty Plain People by Shirley Brown Mather who recored it from her grandmother Ola Gibson who married Claude Brown.     After settling down in the Baker School District, the couple built a "homeplace" and remained there until Roseanah died on June 6, 1897 from some sort of epidemic.

Her grandfather met his death from the bite of a rabid wolf.  In those days, the people also became rabid after nine days.  This kinsman lived chained in a shed from eighth day until his death.     She also remembered bits about the Civil War.  She was 7 to 11 years old.  She told of barn raising where there was much sorrow and prayer for they hear cannon firing to the south of them.     One time when talking about families divided North against South , she said, "Don't believe it was rebellion within the family."  There was a gang of what we call guerillas today but they were call "Copperheads" and "Skalawags" who receuited soldiers by force for both North and South.  They hung her brother by his thumbs until he was willing to go to fight in the southern army.  The rest of the Curry family that fought at all fought in Northern army.  Her father hid when those bands came throught as did many of the family men.--As told by Aunt Lennie (Brown) Martelle     Nancy Ellen (Mrs. Z.B.)

Notes for Elizabeth Samantha Tapp:

By Hellen Pless

Samantha lived with my grandparents in Providence. She went to live with them when “Breck” died.  That was before I was born.  When I was born, I spent a lot of time with them. Grandma Wood was blind by that time, and her job was to entertain me. It is sometimes strange what a child will remember. I remember that she wore a lot of petticoats. Most of them were flannel, but there was one white one trimmed in lace that she wore on top of the others.  The house was heated only by a couple of fireplaces,  and I think the petticoats were a way to keep warm. I know I would watch in amazement as she would put them on. She would sit for hours in the living room in a rocking chair.  I believe my oldest son still has that chair.  I wish I could remember the tales she told me, but most have disappeared with my advancing years.

Grandma was fascinated with “mad dog” (rabies) stories. That seemed to be a fear of her younger years. She would tell about people being bitten by a “mad” (rabid) dog. One I remember was about a woman who encountered a mad dog. She was not bitten, but the dog caught her skirt in its teeth and ripped it. As Grandma told it, the woman mended her dress with needle and thread, biting off the thread when she was finished. The end of the story was that she got rabies from the saliva the dog had left on her dress! Quite a story!

I remember Mother saying that Grandma went to church every Sunday, but not before she cooked up a large meal.  Mother said, “She would not leave church until she had invited everyone there to go home with her for dinner, and half of them went!” Of course that was when she still lived on the farm.  Virgil said that everyone in the community (including their family) called them “Aunt Samantha” and "Uncle Breck."

As I said, she was blind. Every so often, Papa (Roscoe) would write letters for her to send to her family. She could get around in the house by herself. She had a certain path she would take from the living room and/or the kitchen to her bedroom. My younger cousin, Mary Margaret Wood, delighted in offering to “lead”  her to her room. Mary would then take a path through another bedroom and completely confuse Grandma.

Samantha lived with Richard Tapp until she married (Richard was her uncle).   

by Johnnie Wayne Brown

 My mother, Inez Wood lived with her from age 2 until 6.  From the time her mother died until her father remarried.

Notes for James Jones Hicks:

From: Kentucky, A History of the State. Perrin, Battle & Kniffin. 2nd ed., 1885, Webster Co. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JAMES J. HICKS was born in Person County, N.C., September 2, 1820, to William and Elizabeth (Lunsford) Hicks, both natives of North Carolina and of English descent. William Hicks was educated and married in his native State, where he owned a farm upon which he resided most of his life, but was not himself engaged in farming. At the age of twenty-five, he began the study of medicine and afterward practiced that profession for many years. Later in life, he became quite a politician, and at one time was sheriff of Person County. His death occurred February 19, 1849, in his eightieth year. He and wife were life long and devoted members of the Primitive Baptist Church. While he was sheriff he lost all his property in consequence of having levied on some negro property, without taking the property in possession, or taking a delivery bond. James J. Hicks, the youngest of his father's family was employed on his father's farm until he was twenty-two years old. He was then employed at overseeing in North Carolina for two years, after which, in 1846, he came to Kentucky, where he was engaged in the same business for some four years. He then bought a partially improved farm in Henderson (now Webster County), upon which he resided for twenty-three years. In 1873, he sold this place and bought another, two miles north of Providence, where he was extensively and successfully engaged in farming and stock raising until the fall of 1884, when he sold out and removed to Providence. He was married, November 10, 1842, to Miss Anna Peed, a native of Person County, N.C. Ten children were the fruit of this union, of whom three sons and three daughters are living. Mrs. Hicks is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr. Hicks belongs to no church, and in politics, is a Democrat.     From 1870 Webster Co census, page 22.  James Hicks was a farmer: valued property at $3500 and $600.  Other children listed are: Cadwalider, 22, farmer, $2500, $100, b.

Mrs. Roxana (Annie) DORRIS CURRY, 88, died Monday morning at her home on Tapp street when her clothing caught fire from an undetermined cause.  Marvin - MORSE saw smoke at 9 o'clock when he went in another part of the house to deliver ice to Mrs. Ella DAVIS, who was not at home.  He had a neighbor, Mrs. Charlie BLACKWELL, call the fire department.  When Mr. Blackwell went to investigate he found Mrs. Curry's body lying in the bedroom.  The room was filled with smoke, and bedding, a bed post and part of the floor beneath the bed were burned.  Mrs. Curry's body, which had fallen away from the bed, was badly seared and most of her clothing was burned off.  Verdict of an inquest conducted by Coroner J. Murray BLUE was that death was caused by suffocation.  Coroner Blue said that evidence led to the belief that Mrs. Curry's clothing had caught fire when she started to light a kerosene stove in the kitchen and that she had gone to the bed in the next room in an attempt to extinguish the flames.  Mrs. Curry, a lifelong resident of Providence, was a daughter of the late Harriett Dorris and Elder Eleazar Dorris, pioneer Providence residents.  She taught school for a number of years in Providence and Webster county.  She was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church.  A brother, Edwin Dorris, of Evansville survives.  Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Primitive Baptist Church, with Elder J.D. SHAIN of Madisonville officiating, assisted by Elder Gordon HEARON of Clay.  Burial was in Cullen cemetery, near Providence.     Providence Journal-Enterprise, Thursday, April 24, 1852.

Notes for Samuel P. Tapp:

Killed by the Malisha  (Militia)     During the 1850's there was a bitter conflict between the antislavery forces and prosalvery forces in Missouri.  Every year the confusion increased until in 1863, a band of armed antislavery men entered the county seat of Vernon county, Mo., burned the courthouse and murdered many people.  Among the proslavery group was Samuel.  The men entered and sacked the house and asked Samuel to come out in the yard.  He asked Malissa to give him his hat.  They then shot him in the head.  Samantha saw the murder and went out and picked up his brains.  They took the cattle, horses, and hogs and burned the barn.  Two of the horses returned home.     From Henderson Co., Ky 1850 Census     TAPP  SAMUEL  29 M W FARMER  NC ELIZABETH 23 F W   KY ANN  7 F W   KY JOHN  5 M W   KY SARAH  4 F W   KY HIRAM  2 M W   KY MALISA  1 F W   KY

Malissa Tapp was born on 11 Jun 1850 in KY. She died in 1932. She married Beverly Herron on 16 Jan 1872 in Dixon, Webster Co., KY. He was born on 04 Nov 1852 in Carbon Area, KY. He died on 06 Sep 1937.

Notes for Malissa Tapp:

Dates from Tombstone in Little Zion Cem. near Dixon, Webster Co., KY     Malissa with her brothers and sisters were raised by their uncle, Wiley D. Tapp, because they were orphaned at an early age. Her parents, Samuel & Elizabeth Tapp, along with their other children; Stacy Ann, John, Sarah, and Hiram migrated to Missouri in the late 1850's. During the Civil War, Samuel enlisted in the Confederate Army and during his absence, Elizabeth became ill & subsequently died.     Samuel returned to his children, probably by deserting, to care for them and his farm. Shortly after he came home, a party of "Yankee" soldiers raided his farm in an attempt to steal his horses. Samuel resisted and during the skirmish which ensued in the horse lot of the family farm he was shot and killed as the children watched. When word of the incident reached KY, his brother Wiley drove a wagon to Missouri and brought the children back to Jonesstand to live with him.[

Notes for Beverly Herron:

Dates from Tombstone in Little Zion Cem. near Dixon, Webster Co., KY     By age 17, "Bev" was working as a farm laborer as shown in the 1870 census which lists Beverly Herren, age 17, and Zedic Weldon, age 15, as farm laborers living in the home of Wiley Tapp, a prominent farmer in the Jonesstand area. Just looking at the census record by itself, the conclusion might be that "Bev" was already "on his own", but in actuality, Wiley Tapp was actually "Uncle Wiley", to Beverly. Wiley Tapp was married to Nancy Crews, Sarah's sister, which made his an uncle of Bev's and brother in law of George W. and Sarah. In addition, the farm owned by Wiley Tapp was only a mile or two from the Caborn area where Bev was raised. Also, living with Wiley Tapp in 1870 was his niece, Malissa Tapp, who was 19 years. old. 2 years later, in 1872, Malissa and Beverly were married, with Wiley Tapp signing the consent statement and marriage bond for the couple. Grandpaw used to tell the story of "him and Malissa living together for a year before they got married"; then he'd laugh and Grandmaw would grin and say, "Bev!" The reference, of course, was to his living and working with Wiley Tapp when they were courting.     1900 Webster County, KY Census     25 9 Hearon Beverly head w m Nov 1852 47 m/28  KY/TN/KY Farmer page 25-b 25 9 Hearon Malissa wife w f Jun 1857 48 m/28 8/8  KY/NC/KY 25 9 Hearon W.

Notes for David Columbus "Lum" Edwards:

He was born in 1831 in Tennessee, but was reared at Shakertown in Logan Co., KY along with his mother, Mary Harper, and brother, Hillyard. He was trained as a carder-someone who removed seeds and so forth from the wool for those who wove it into cloth.  Later, he learned the trade of carpenter.  His father-in -laws was a carpenter also.  He left South Union and went to Hopkins Co., KY where he married Mary Ann Jackson in 1855.  Together they had 18 children.     He is buried in the TOW Cemetery located off road 120, west of road 630, near Vandersburg, Webster Co., KY     Notes for DAVID COLUMBUS EDWARDS: Hillyard and David Columbus' parents apparently lived in Montgomery Co, TN when they were born (according to the 1830 Census record for that date) and David Columbus was born in 1831. His father seems to have disappeared by 1834, because his mother, according to the Shaker journal, was living at Shaker town (South Union) Ky in 1835.  Her older son Hillyard was reported to be clinging to her and they were giving him more time to adjust to the separation of his being moved to the children's house. Columbus was known as "Lum".     Thus "Lum" was raised at Shaker town in Logan Co, KY.  This was known by the family and was a generally accepted fact.  Also, "Lum" was listed as living there during the 1850 census for Logan CO. as well as being mentioned on several occasions in the Shaker journals.  He was trained there as a carder - someone who removed seeds and so forth from the wool for those who wove it into cloth.  Later, he learned the trade of carpenter.  His father-in-law Thomas Jackson was a carpenter also.     "Lum" married in 1855. They were married in the Jackson home and William and John Townsend were the witnesses.     When "Lum" was old enough to leave Shaker town he went to Webster Co, apparently to live with his brother, Hillyard.  They were shown as coming in together to pay their taxes each year until "Lum" married and they then came at separate times after that.     According to the Hopkins Co tax roll, "Lum" showed no property until 1860 when he reported owning an acre on Slover Creek.  The next year he showed no property and did not until 1863 when he indicated possession of a town lot.  Then in 1864 he showed he owned 1 town lot valued at $50; 3 cattle valued at $150; 14 hogs;, 150 bu of corn and it also stated he was enrolled in the Militia.  In 1866 he had 1 town lot and 6 hogs.  In 1868 he owned 26 acres on Slover creek, 5 hogs and 3 cattle.  In 1869 he owned 26 acres on Slover Creek, I horse, and 3 cattle.     More About DAVID COLUMBUS EDWARDS: Fact 1: 1867, purchased 14 A, StonerCr,W.M.&Mary Hawkins Fact 2: 1868, bot 26 1/2 A, StonerCr, L.D. & Mary Orr Fact 3: 1870, bot lot in Vandenburg, HH & Susan Brooks Fact 4: 1911, died & is buried in Webster Co, KY     Notes for MARY ANN JACKSON: The census records said Mary Ann could Neither read nor write.  She had 18 children (no multiple births) and in 1910 only 13 of the 18 were living.  She was the daughter of Thomas Jackson of Hopkins Co.
