Research Notes

From his Find A Grave Memorial: 1783-1865 John McPheeters was the first son born to Andrew McPheeters and Achsah Smith McPheeters, 10 May 1783 in Wilkes Co., Georgia. John McPheeters married (1) Francis Ogle 5 Nov 1801. John and Francis and their extended families lived in Grainger, TN and Putnam Co., IN. John was in the War of 1812. They had 8 children together. Francis Ogle McPheeters died in Indiana.

John McPheeters married a single woman with a family of children. Her name was (2) Nancy King,(Mathis-Matthews)(Clark) and they married 31 Oct 1839 in Indiana. John was awarded Land Grants for his service in the War of 1812. John and Nancy, "Father Andrew" had Land Grants from the Rev. War , a nephew and his wife (Azariah & Susannah(Mathis-Matthews) McPheeters)and some of Nancy's children from her former marriages migrated as early pioneers to the wilderness near Dallas Co. Missouri. John McPheeters and Nancy McPheeters had one child together. Her name was Elizabeth McPheeters 1844-1888.

John and Nancy McPheeters, Father Andrew McPheeters and other of the extended McPheeters family donated land grants and labor for the New Hope Baptist Church building and cemetery. They left a legacy of hard labor and enduring faith. John McPheeters died in 1865, near Benton, Dallas Co., MO. Nancy McPheeters was born about 1805 in Kentucky. She died before 1860 in Benton, Dallas Co., MO. John McPheeters and Nancy McPheeters were buried in the New Hope Baptist Cemetery somewhere near the front of the church building, possibly field stones marking their resting place. The cemetery did not have a plot plan at the time of their passing. The cemetery nor the family do not have any valid burial records! Thus, we hold their names and biographies in our books of remembrance.
