Interesting Finds

List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week

• Atahualpa Worden (abt.1849-1914) charged with assault with a deadly weapon - he was one of a group of men who beat and killed a man named Wheeler. Two of the others were charged with murder.
• Added Research notes on potential sibling(s) of Sarah Ann (Hart) Goins (abt.1810-abt.1886). Three of Joseph Hart's children and an adult Mary Hart are living with Sarah and her family in 1860. Joseph is located in the same county as Sarah in 1850 with 3 children and no wife. Mary could be the mother of the children or a possible sister of Sarah & Joseph.
• Shelley's GG-grandfather, John McCorkle, appears to have taken the surname of a local Pastor, Francis McCorkle, who was known for taking in homeless black children. Francis' great-great grandson is Tennessee Williams the famous playwright of many stage classics.
• Sophia (Boyer) Willcutt (1831-1901) a something great aunt, married when she was 17 allegedly, although 15 going by birth date. They may have run away to marry since they didn’t marry at home and one of the witnesses seems to be a relation of the J.P. There is the inevitable baby some months later. Then, when 37 she marries again to a man aged just 18.
• Shelley is the 9th great-granddaughter of Mayflower passenger, Richard Warren, through his daughter Elizabeth who married Richard Church. This means that Shelley is related to some famous individuals including former US Presidents Ulysses S Grant and Franklin D Roosevelt, astronaut Alan Shepard Jnr, Laura Ingalls Wilder and pop star Taylor Swift.
• Anderson Russell (1825-1896), Shelley's 2xGGF was involved in the chase by the Sheriff and his deputies to capture two highwaymen. They ran into his house to hide and he tried to lock them in until they threatened him with their pistols and he was forced to let them go. They were soon captured. He displayed extreme bravery as he was an elderly man in his 70's at the time.
