Biography

Sometime in the 1850s, the “Tennessee” Stephen Gose (born Aug. 6, 1832 in Russell Co., VA, and died in Claiborne Co., TN, after 1910) married (1) Mary Avalee Burch, the oldest daughter of John M. Burch and Celia Thompson of Virginia. The old Burch farm was nine miles west of Tazewell on the old Knoxville road not too far from where Straight Creek used to hit the old road. Stephen and Mary Burch Gose owned and lived on part of this homestead, which was passed on to the heirs of Wiley Burch and Stephen Gose.

Stephen and Mary Gose had 11 children. Mary Avalee died in Claiborne Co., TN on 17 May 1887; she was buried in Head of Barren Cemetery, Claiborne Co., TN. Stephen is buried in Straight Creek Cemetery.

About 1888, when Stephen was 55, he married (2) Susan Ruth Laws in Claiborne Co., TN. Susan was born on June 16, 1839, in North Carolina and died in Claiborne Co., TN. She is buried in the Burch/Straight Creek Cemetery in Claiborne Co., TN.

The children of Stephen and Mary Avalee Gose are:
