Individuals : Pittard William
William PITTARD was born about 1808 in Granville Co., North Carolina. He died in probably Cannon Co., Tennessee. We are unsure who his parents definitely might be: I think that he is the son of Elijah, son of Samuel, while Grace Swider thinks he is the son of Thomas M., son of John, from an earlier marriage. Margaret Yandell says that Thomas & Polly Norman were married as early as 1803, which changes the early marriage theory. After consideration of Granville Co. marriages during 1832-1860, only children of Thomas were married there. It still seems odd that Thomas would give three sons the name of William, though.

He was married to Ann Meredith DAVIS (daughter of Humphrey DAVIS and Unknown) about 1774 in Granville Co., North Carolina. Ann Meredith DAVIS was born about 1757 in probably Granville Co., North Carolina. She died after 1800 in probably Caswell Co., North Carolina. This was a page from a book which I copied in the early 1980's. I ran across it around 1991, and copied it to send to Trudy Davis Long, of MD who had shared a lot of information on the Pittards with me. As I was looking at the copy I planned to mail her, on 22 Feb. 1991, I attempted, from the dates given, to come to some conclusion as to Ann Davis Pittard's age. I concluded that the only Pittards, of marriagable age, in NC at that time were John or his brother Samuel Jr. Only Samuel Jr. had children by the name of Davis and Humphrey, Ann's maiden name & her Father's given name, names which continued in his line for many generations. From this, I conclude that Ann was the first wife of Samuel, at least until I get any proof otherwise. Her Mother may have been a Meredith, and she did have a sister Rebecca. Samuel Jr. & Ann's grandson, John Samuel Pittard, also moved to Chambers Co. AL, abt. 1845, where Ann's sister, Rebecca, & her husband, Ethel Tucker, lived.

MS Census, 1850, p. 33, house #439, family #456, read 20 June 1992 This census was quite a breakthrough. In it, John, age 55, is listed with his sister Rebecca Malone's family, as "idiotic and blind". Obviously, she took care of him, and he moved with the family from NC to TN to MS. I had always felt that there was some reason, other than childhood, that his sisters Elizabeth and Frances would need to continue to take care of him, and this census verifys that!

Died, at her home in Ash Grove, Sunday, 6 Apr 1884 Mrs. Jane Curry in the 78th year of her age. Deceased had been sick a long time. The immediate cause of death was a tumor in the side. "Old Aunt Jane" as she was familiarly called was one of the oldest settlers and was respected and loved by all who knew her, for her kind motherly ways. All through her long life she was ever kind and sympathetic with her neighbors. She was always social and pleasant. She united with the Christian church some years ago and lived a devoted Christian life. The funeral took place Monday at the Grove church Elder Harrold officiating. Mother Curry leaves several children, among whom is Mrs. J. T. Poe of our city, numerous grandchildren and other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. It is truly said "the Young may die, the old must die." In either case it is sad to part with loved ones; but it is pleasant to reflect upon the well spent life of those who live to a good old age. We should all try to imitate their life of virtue, that it may be said of us, whether we live long or die young, that we have not lived entirely in vain. - Windsor Gazette - 10 Apr 1884...

Autobiography - Windsor, Ill., Nov. 2, 1900. I, James Thomas Poe, was born Feb. 19, 1834 in what is now Richland township, Shelby county, Illinois, and never lived outside of Richland, Ash Grove and Windsor townships, and never in my whole life over four miles from Windsor. I was married to Elizabeth Curry, May 4, 1854. Unto us were born 10 children, viz; John N. Poe,; Nancy J., deceased, wife of R. N. Evans; James I., William, Mary C., wife of W. A. Russell; Ella, who died in infancy; Charles A., George A., Hattie L. [Baker] and Anna. Of my sisters and brother there are Mrs. Hannah Jones, Mrs. Rena Kemp, Mrs. Mary Turner, Mrs. Denna Renner, Mrs. Kate Shearer, and John N. Poe. My wife died Feb. 9, 1899. The next January, 1900, I was taken sick and have been more or less a constant sufferer. I have tried to leave a moral Christian life, although I have never professed religion openly. I have worked hard all my life and tried to be honest and prosperous in everything that I have done. But it seems as though I have failed many times. I never had the pleasure of traveling much. I never used intoxicating liquors, tobacco or cigars in my life. I acted in the capacity of constable in Richland and Ash Grove townships, 14 years, as school director in Ash Grove three years, and as justice of the peace and mayor of Windsor 21 years next May. If I live until Feb. 19, 1901, I will be 67 years old. But my feelings now prompt me to say that it is a matter of a short time. But during my sickness I have tried to bear it patiently, hoping for relief in that welcome visitor. This is written by myself. When I am dead I want this read at my funeral, then published in The Windsor Gazette. Good bye to all. J. T. Poe - Windsor Gazette - 4 Apr 1901

Individuals : Kemp Abraham
Shelbyville Democrat - 17 Oct 1907 - Golden Wedding Day - Fifty years ago Tuesday, or on Oct. 15, 1857, occurred the wedding of Abraham Kemp and Miss Arena Poe at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abner Poe, in Richland township, Shelby county, IL. In the presence of a multitude of friends and relatives, Rev. Aaron Hood, a pioneer Baptist preacher, performed the interesting ceremony. When asked Saturday how many were present at the wedding, Mr. Kemp replied, "The house was full, the yard was full and the woods were full." We guess that about expresses it, because in those days when a prominent couple were to be married, it was the custom to invite everybody within a radius of eight or ten miles to the wedding. To fittingly celebrate and observe their fiftieth anniversary, a host of their friends and relatives were invited to their home at Windsor, Tuesday, where an elaborate and sumptuous feast was spread. The day was spent in merry-making and feasting and of telling stories of pioneer days by the older ones of the assembled guests. Mrs. Kemp, as Miss Arena Poe, was one of the most handsome girls in all that part of the country and when young Kemp won her hand he was envied by all the young men 'round about there. She is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abner Poe of Richland, who are remembered by many of the older people of Shelby county. Abner Poe, in his day, was one of the most prominent men in Shelby county, being an extensive farmer, stock raiser and stock shipper. There was a time when he shipped nearly all the stock that was taken from the Windsor market, which in those days was quite extensive. That was before the Wabash railroad was built and all the territory south of Windsor to the county line was Windsor's territory. Arena Poe-Kemp was born in Richland township on March 9, 1839. All her life she has resided within three miles of her birthplace. She is the mother of four children, all living except one. Abraham Kemp was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, April 13, 1836, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Strother Kemp, to Shelby county in 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp are now possessed of enough of this world's goods to keep the wolf from the door the remainder of their lives without hard labor. They retired from their farm last May, moving to Windsor, where they have a neat and comfortable home. Their farm, three miles southeast of Windsor, containing 175 acres, is one of the best in Shelby county. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp are held in high esteem by all who know them. All unite in wishing them many more years of health, happiness and prosperity.
