Directory Links: Headrick Surname

Headrick Directory ~ Research Sites
Seeking William Headrick of Blount County, Tennessee & Murray County, Georgia

Southern Muse created this page as a convenience for researching a specific line of Headricks, including Jacob and William Mathew Headrick of Murray County, Georgia, and their descendants; and William M. Hedrick (the Revolutionary War soldier) of Sevier County, Tennessee. Southern Muse has worked for many years to establish and document the connection between the families of these two states, based on a lineage that was published in The "Connection" in East Tennessee. We have accumulated quite a lot of research and good documentation, but have had difficulty finding primary or good secondary documentation on the tie between John and Lizzie (Myers) Headrick, of Tennessee, and Jacob Headrick of Murray County, Georgia, who is said to be their son. These are links that have been helpful in our own search. While they are targeted very specifically to the Headrick family, they might be of use to anyone searching other families in East Tennessee and North Georgia.

Joseph Callaway Jr. and Catherine Ann Browning - Ancestors of Thomas Howard Callaway and Callaway Campbell

Joseph Callaway, Jr., married Catherine Ann Browning
about 1709, (of) Essex, Virginia, British Colonial America

Above is just a quick reference to the couple, as entered on Family Search.

Below is web page linked, which is attached to Joseph Callaway, Jr., as a source:

A. D. Gedge pages on Rootsweb:

Callaway and Langhorne, etc. Rootsweb Page with Joseph Callaway Lineage
https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~adgedge/genealogy/ourresearch/aqwn68.htm#3448

Page was cited by researcher, Alice Gedge.

Of interest in this lineage:

Capt. Thomas Callaway (mentioned only, in a source, as brother of Col. William Callaway, son of Callaway and Browning).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Some descendants, per research of others: 

Currently attached in online family trees (wiki, with sourcing in progress) 
not mentioned in Gedge page, but could be correct: 

Captain Thomas S. Callaway (b. 1712 Essex Co., VA; died 1800, Jefferson, Ash Co., NC) is currently attached in the Callaway - Browning family group, as a son.
     His wife is currently shown as Sarah Baker (marriage, 1735, Brunswick County, Virginia).

Next, currently added to the family group of Thomas S. Callaway and Sarah Baker, as a son (needs further research): 

Thomas Callaway (1753-1819) + Jude Ann Farrar (m. 1768, Bedford, Virginia);

Next, currently added to the family group of Thomas Callaway + Jude Ann Farrar, as a son (needs further research):   

Joseph Callaway (14 April 1779 – 28 October 1832)  + Nancy Howard 
  Marriage: 24 Feb 1807, Wilkes County, North Carolina, United States

Joseph and Nancy, above, are currently entered as the parents of Nancy Elvira Callaway, Thomas Howard Callaway, Lucinda Frances Callaway, and Rebecca Callaway. There may be others.

Nancy Elvira Callaway married Charles C. Campbell and was the mother of Callaway Campbell, long-time resident of Murray County, Georgia. Thomas Howard Callaway, Nancy's brother, was president of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. He moved from Monroe County, Tennessee, to Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee, briefly lived in Murray County, Georgia (where he helped his nephew, Callaway, start a farm), and then moved up to Polk County, Tennessee. His sister, Lucinda Frances Callaway, was the first wife of Dr. Pleasant John Graves Lea, of Tennessee, mentioned in the Myra Inman diary and in the Charles Campbell papers. P.J.G. Lea was killed in Missouri by marauders during the Civil War. The other sister, Rebecca,  married a Donaho, and later, a Lea.

This is a quick clip from various sources. I have researched some of it personally – mainly Thomas H. Callaway and siblings. I cannot verify everything as entered in the tree, but the families appear in several old family histories – I pulled selected data and the link to the Rootsweb page to keep it as a reference..

Links - My Old Genealogy Sites on Tumblr and on Genealogy.com

Link to a genealogy blog I created using Tumblr. I haven't updated it in awhile, but there might be some original information on there that is not on this Families of North Georgia and Alabama blog.

http://familytreedocuments.tumblr.com/

Here's another old page I did on Genealogy.com (actually, on Family Tree Maker, but Genealogy.com took it over and discontinued it for awhile).

Genealogy.com must have brought back free pages, because here's the old site:

Link: My Original Families of North Georgia and Alabama Genealogy Page

Years ago, I had done a genealogy site called "Families of North Georgia and Alabama." It was a page provided free by Family Tree Maker (came with the software). At some point, Genealogy.com bought the database. They discontinued the free web pages, but, for awhile, the old pages could still be found. I deleted most of the info, but left a few photos and descriptions.

Years later, Genealogy.com apparently brought back the pages, though everything seems to be formatted differently. The photos are on linked pages. \

Here's the link to my page:

Love it!

Headrick - Chambers: link to notes on Rootsweb

During my years of researching the family tree, I corresponded with one branch of the family whose descendants were research John Chapel Chambers and Melissa "Lissie" Harden. Their grandson, according to census, was Levi Headrick.

This portion of a family report on Rootsweb includes the Chambers - Harden line. It includes census extracts and family notes. I'm including it here in hopes of looking at it more closely when I have time, though the family is not of my direct line. Some of the shared research did create quite a puzzle for awhile, as John C. Chambers' second marriage (mentioned in this page) was to a bride of the same first name as his first wife. This page is in the World Ancestry Family Tree, and is in the 5th generation of the researcher's lineage.
