    Mary Cullipher is presumed to have been at least age 16 in order to have been eligible to serve as a witness for the will of James Lary, which places her birth prior to 1760. It is further assumed that her mother, Rachel (--?--) (married name: Cullipher), was at least about 18 when Mary was born. Therefore, Rachel's birth year is assumed to be prior to about 1740. This also implicitly assumes the Mary Cullipher who witnessed the will of James Lary is the same Mary Cullipher who was the daughter of Rachel (Cullipher)

    "Jurat" means something like sworn, "attested to," or witnessed. Presumably, "Nobel Carter" is a person's name, not a legal term -- Carl Fields has been unable to find it as a legal term. Similarily, Carl has been unable to locate a Beach Island, which seems to be mentioned in the will (although the word "beach" could be used in other contexts, that portion of the will is somewhat unclear).

  • [S364] Lucy Jarman , pension case file, pension application 297,486, filed 29 Nov 1881, for widow's pension for service of John Jarman (pvt., Company J, 3rd regiment of Missouri State Militia, Civil War), no certificate (pension not awarded); Civil War and Later Pension Files; Department of Veterans Affairs, Record Group (RG) 15; National Archives, Washington, D.C. .

    1. Lucy's initial application. The children listed in it were those who were under 16 at the time of John's death (all were well over 16 at the time the pension application was filed, of course). It was apparently thought they might all retroactively receive the pensions they were believed to have been entitled to between the time of their father's death and the time they turned 16. She and John had several older children (including Josiah T) who are not listed on this form.

    2. Two-page affidavit by Lucy's youngest daughter Perlina. It repeats some of the information that is in the preceding item. Perlina includes the married names of her two next-older sisters.

    3. Affidavit from (1) Sam Miller (who was an officer in John Jarman's MSM unit) describing circumstances of John Jarman's death and (2) Adam Miller (possibly Sam's father) saying he remembers the Jarmans as living in Osage County as a married couple. This document may not be dated, but, if not, other information in the file puts its date as July 10, 1882.

    4. Letter from Lucy Jarman answering several questions raised by pension office clerk. (The letter from the pension office requesting this information is also in the file.) Looks like Lucy's mark is witnessed by her daughter Perlina, but (it that is indeed the case) Perlina's signature here looks different than the one in a previous item.

    5. writing on what seem to be "jackets" that were intended to hold collections of other documents. The writing on these seems to be notations about the history of the pension application (and may be intended to describe documents that were once stored in these "jackets"). The two consist of pages of rather thick paper, perhaps slightly thicker than a present-day manila folder -- although they are much smaller than a manila folder. These have several dates on them, some associated with various notations and descriptions as documents were added to the folders from time to time over a few-year period.

    6. Form letter from pension office to the Adjutant General of the state of Missouri asking for information about the service record of John Jarman. There were several documents like this in the file (not all of them explicitly noted on this list). For example, when someone sent in a affidavit claiming to have served with John Jarman (such as Sam Miller, as described in a previous item), the pension office would send for confirmation that he was indeed in the military (sometimes letters went to 2 or more different agencies). This particular item (to the Missouri Adjutant General) was sent out after they had previously asked for the same information from the Adjutant General of the US Army and were told John Jarman wasn't listed in the records in Washington DC. The pension file contains perhaps 10-12 form letters similar to this.

    7. Document (from the Missouri Adjutant General) that gives the enlistment date and service end-date for John Jarman. Seems to say near the end that there are no records for this regiment after Jan 10, 1862, which suggested it might have been disbanded at that date. A later document suggests that even though John Jarman enlisted on Oct 21, he didn't actually go on duty until Oct 30.

    8. Note from Montgomery County TN Court Clerk saying they have no record of a Jarman/Sills marriage, but that all marriage records for years between 1813 and 1836 were destroyed in a fire in 1878.

    9. Letter to Lucy Jarman from the Missouri Adjutant General giving name of unit within MSM that John Jarman served in. As indicated earlier, the pension office asked for this information (and received it) several times. They had apparently asked Lucy for this (even through they already had the information by June 1883) and she wrote the Adjutant General, who sent this reply to her.

    10. Affidavit from Lucy trying to answer several questions the pension office had asked concerning her application. The letter that triggered this reply is also in the file. One of the witnesses for Lucy's mark is Joseph Tuttle. Based on a document sent earlier, one of Lucy's daughters was married to a Tuttle. (This item seems to not be dated, but another item in the file dates puts it on July 24, 1883.)

    11. The 3rd Auditor's Office (which seems to have MSM information; they seem to have been located in Washington DC) replies on Nov 24 1883 to a pension office request made Oct 15 1883 (writing on the document the pension office had sent them). They supply John's enlistment and end-service date. They provide the additional information that even though he enlisted on 10-21-1861, he apparently did not go on active duty until 10-30-1861. Also, this document suggests the entire company was mustered out of "state service" at the same time. Finally, it says the state has been reimbursed by the US, which introduces a bit of ambiguity into whether the 3rd MSM was truly "state service". (Lucy's pension application for a US government pension was eventually rejected, in part, because John being in the MSM was considered state service, not service in a unit of the federal government's army.)

    12. Pension office requests (on 4-30-1884) and Third Auditor's Office provides (on 5-27-1884) service records for the Millers. An affidavit was listed previously where one of them (Samuel) provided information about John Jarman's death in an army hospital. The pension office is confirming that Samuel Miller was indeed in that army unit as he claimed.

    13. Lucy's affidavit saying she can't provide some information the pension office has requested in a earlier letter (the request that triggered this response may not have been in the file). One witness to Lucy's mark is W. B. Thompson. A document sent earlier in this series indicated that one of her daughters had married a Thompson. (This letter seems to not be dated, but another item in the file puts it at "about November 1884.")

    14. Affidavit from the doctor who attended the birth of Perlina (and had the date noted in his "books?"). He seems to give Feb 6 1861 for Perlina's date of birth, which differs slightly from the date on items earlier on this list. Perlina was the only child born in Missouri. The older children had been born back in Kentucky (and, possibly, Tennessee for some of them). This letter seems to not be dated, but another item in the file puts it from around November 1884.

    15. What appears to be a contract to make sure that Henry Gitt receives any fees the pension office pays for assisting Lucy. Looks like Perlina has signed as a witness for Lucy's mark. It is unclear why this appears now (early 1885), rather than at the time the application process started.

    16. Letter from Lucy saying she has supplied all information that she can. The reverse side of this letter contains certification by a justice of the peace.

    17. Yet another transmittal to the pension office of John Jarman's service record with the MSM. This one from the 3rd auditor's office, which seems to be part of the Treasury Department. This one identifies that he was in the 6th division of the MSM. Also, gives his total time in the unit as 2 months and 4 days, which doesn't seem to match any beginning and end dates for his service that appear elsewhere in the file. They may have subtracted off the days he was ill.

    18. A 3-page letter to Lucy from the pension office asking for still more information. There is one item in the pension office letter that appears to reflect a misunderstanding on their part. They imply that the affidavit from Sam and Adam Miller cannot be used because military records show that Adam Miller was not in the 3rd Regiment of the MSM. However, the information sent to them indicated that only Sam Miller was in that unit. In the joint affidavit by the Millers, the intent was apparently that Sam was providing information about John's death in the military, while Adam was certifying that John and Lucy had lived together as man and wife before John enlisted. (This handwritten letter was likely a draft that was later typed, with the typed copy mailed and the draft retained for the file.)

    In response to this letter from the pension office, Lucy found two more people to send affidavits to the pension office: William C Fields and Joshua Buckmaster. These are affidavits (and some related material) are described in the next several items.

    19. William C Fields's affidavit provides information about John's death and also about where these Jarmans lived around 1840 (and where William lived too -- it was the information she sent about from the affidavit Salem KY that enabled locating the 1840 Livingston County Fields/Jarman marriage record). William also says that John and Lucy had three children when he (William) first became acquainted with them in 1840 -- this corresponds fairly well with other information for the years of birth of the older children of John and Lucy. William gives his place of residence as Florilla MO (the A. F. Johnson document - listed later -- is related to this).

    The William C Fields affidavit does not mention that William and John had (almost certainly) been in-laws. At this point, William's first wife (Keziah Jarman) had been dead for about 15 years and he was remarried.. There are a few other items in the various pension files where supporting evidence was supplied by a relative by marriage and that relationship is not mentioned in the affidavit.

    20. A 2-page letter sent by the pension office to William C Fields, requesting clarification on some points in his affidavit. There are several dates on this letter. It seems to have been sent (or written) on June 2nd (1886) and a July 8 date on it is when a reply was read at the pension office.

    21. Brief reply by W. C. Fields to the pension office's letter described above. It was apparently written by him on June 27, 1886 and stamped as received by the pension office on July 2.

    22. Affidavit that Joshua Buckmaster apparently prepared for Lucy, to respond to the pension office letter listed earlier. May not be dated, but other material in the file suggests it is from May 19, 1886. He says (among other things) that he visited John Jarman while John was sick in the hospital and that the "government" furnished undertaker supplies for John's body. As indicated earlier, parts of the reason Lucy was denied a pension (from the federal government) was that John's service in the MSM was regarded as "state service" (not in the national or federal government army). If the "government" in Buckmaster's story refers to the federal government, that would be another item suggesting his service was not totally "state service."

    23. Form requesting the Third Auditors Office to check the MSM service records for Fields and Buckmaster. The pension office apparently wants to confirm these men were really in that unit with John Jarman. This form was apparently returned to the pension office with an annotation on the bottom about an enclosure (which follows) and also an annotation indicating that W C Fields was a corporal, not a private. This form has a handwritten date (June 21) and a stamped date (June 25). This second date MIGHT be when it was returned with the enclosure. There is an identical request in the file with a handwritten date of June 11 and a stamped date of June 17 -- and with no annotations (it had identical content and handwriting, but with a slightly different arrangement of words on each line. The handwritten text in the next item apparently refers to that earlier request).

    24. Apparently the enclosure sent to the pension office when the document described in the previous item was returned to the pension office. It indicates that Corporal W. C. Fields was in the 3rd regiment of the MSM from October 19 1861 until Jan 10 1862. His pension file indicated only that he had been a private in the Osage County Home Guard from June 1861 until October 5 1861.

    25. Letter the pension office sent to the postmaster of Florilla MO, basically asking if William C Fields (called "Field" here) and Joshua Buckmaster are reliable people. This was apparently an additional check on their affidavits.

    26. Letter from the postmaster of Florilla, who turns out to be A. F Johnson (Aaron Francis Johnson). A F Johnson says he has known W C Fields for 18 years and gives him an endorsement (but not exactly a glowing one). He says he knows Buckmaster less well. The pension office apparently did not know that a few years earlier William C himself had been the postmaster of Florilla (the occupation he listed on the 1880 census was something like "farmer and postmaster"), and A F Johnson appears in some records listed as his assistant postmaster. Also, later, in 1888, A F's daughter, Sarah Clementine Johnson, married W C's son, George McClellan Fields.

    27. Affidavit from a physician. It seems intended to say the probable ages of Priscilla and Joanna are as claimed by Lucy. This item is dated as 5-5-1886 (from a summary document that appears later in this list).

    28. Affidavit from Lucy that lists her places of residence at various times. Note that what she lists for 1831 seems to be "New York" in Montgomery County TN. Date for this document is May 19, 1886, based on the summary document listed later.

    29. A 3-page letter dictated by Uriah Dodson (who signs with a mark) backing up that Lucy and John lived as man and wife and had children between 1859 and 1862 (3rd page, which is dated, is certification by a notary). Uriah is a brother of Thomas Dodson. Uriah would thus be a brother-in-law to William C Fields's daughter Arah Davidella.

    30. A summary listing of key documents in the file. Probably prepared as part of the "close out" process prior to making a final determination whether or not to grant a pension. This list is the source of the dates for some documents that I listed earlier.

    31. Documentation of the rejection of her application and lists the reasons why it was rejected. It would seem that at least one of these reasons should have been apparent to the pension office back in 1882, when she first applied. Not clear if they hoped they could somehow find a basis to give her a pension, or if "stringing her along" for about 4 years was just government red tape and inertia. The latest handwritten dates on this document seem to be from summer 1886. There is a faint "rejected" stamp near the upper left hand corner that seems to be dated Sep 22 1888, but the stamped year might be 1886.

    The following additional things should be noted: (1) Lucy (probably) died in 1888; (2) the pension law was changed around 1890; and (3) after 1890 some men who served with John Jarman in the Osage County Home Guards (prior to the MSM service mentioned in this application) received pensions based on that Osage County Home Guard service. Thus, it is possible that, had Lucy lived into the 1890s and reapplied (based on the Osage County Home Guard service, which she might not have remembered or known about), she might have received a pension at that time.

  • [S397] Much of the land to the east of The Great Alligator River (apparently now – 2009 – called just the Alligator River) is a peninsula bounded by the Alligator River (to the west), Albemarle Sound (to the north), and Pamlico Sound (to the east). Much of the land on this peninsula is swamp (and, as this is written in 2009, is part of Dare County, which was established in 1870). It is uncertain where Hickory Ridge is, but topographical maps suggest this area is quite flat, so the crest of the "ridge" may have been less than 10 ft above sea level. A guess for the location of Hickory Ridge is along the current route of US Highway 64, which runs roughly east/west across the northern portion of the peninsula, which appears to be one of the relatively few non-swamp areas on this peninsula. The existence of a street or road named Hickory Road in this area (running roughly south from US-64 for about one mile) provides a small amount of additional support for this guess. However, the former name of a cemetery in the community of East Lake, provides some indication that at least a portion of this northern non-swamp area was once called Piney Ridge. The cemetery is now called the East Lake Methodist Church Cemetery, but it is also known as the Piney Ridge Cemeteryhttp://www.ncgenweb.us/dare/cemeteries/… : accessed by Carl Fields, April 2009). East Lake is on US-64 near the Alligator River.

    An alternative possible location for Hickory Ridge is the are in the southeast portion of the peninsula, near the locations marked on current (2009) maps as the Navy Bombing Range and Dare Game Lands. This area is about a mile west of US-264, which runs north/south along the eastern portion of the peninsula. The community of Stumpy Point is roughly 2 miles ESE of this non-swamp area. Shiloh United Methodist Church Cemetery, which is in or near the community of Stumpy Point, contains several graves of members of the Meekins family. T he earliest birth date of any of these Meekins family members recorded on a grave marker is about 1814 (http://www.ncgenweb.us/dare/cemeteries/… : accessed by Carl Fields, April 2009).

  • [S599] "Henry Jarman Bible, NC; Macoupin Co., IL", South Central Searcher Volume 1, Number 3 (April 1981) Title used above is how the article was listed in PERSI. The actual article initially seemsed to have title (or heading): "FAMILY BIBLE RECORDS: From Bible belonging to Phoebe Jarman Sexton, now in possession of her great grandaughter Mrs. Alice Greenwood, Wood River, Illinois." However, upon closer examination, it appears the phrase beginning "From Bible belonging to .." refers to the first of three sets of bible information described in the brief article. The second set is labled" "Family Bible beloing to John Downing Jarman in the posession of Mrs Angelo Cordera, Bendl, Illinois." The third set is labled "Family Bible of Capt. Stephen Thomas Sawyer." Carl Fields obtained a paper copy of this article in April 2010 via the History Genealogy Department of the Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Hereinafter cited as "Poor and Landless Ancestors in North Carolina". Article (on pages 6-39) contains no specific information about ancestors or family of Carl Fields. However, it does discuss several topics that provide useful insights and possible ideas for future research. These include: road assignments (p 28), bastardy bonds (p 30), and apprentice bonds (p 31); the ariticle states the poorest families are disproportionately represented in North Carolina records (from the 1700s and 1800s) relating to all three of these topics.

  • [S992] George F Fields Grave Marker, Greenwood Cemetery Phoenix, Arizona; recorded by Carl Fields, March 2005. In Block 27, Section 57S. Carl Fields's memory is that this was a military grave marker. The "marker name" used in this citation most likely corresponds to the name on the marker or on burial records (e.g., married surnames may appear for women). In particular, in this case, the marker contains only his middle initial, "F". It is only additional burial records provided by the cemetery where the full middle name, Franklin, appears. The name "Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery" was in use in March 2005 (and is current as of May 2013). This cemetery was created in 1989 by the merger of the adjacent Greenwood and Memory Lawn Cemeteries. Several family members were interred before that merger, so their burial records, obituaries, death certificates, etc., will use one of the older names, probably most commonly the Greenwood name.

    One recollection I have of Margie was that she was an enthusiastic (and accomplished) gardener – and she had a fondness for cactus plants. When they operated the liquor store on Front Street in Newport, she was pretty much confined to flower pots. However, when they purchased the house on Holden Street in Newport, she had a large backyard flower and cactus garden – and also a nicely landscaped front.

    She had flowers both inside and outside of the house (or apartment) they had behind the liquor store in downtown Newport.
