Fifth Generation

This is to answer a question. This is what my mother has:

Elizabeth Allred was born on August 17, 1747 in Bush Creek, Orange County, North Carolina. She married William Horner on August 17, 1767 in Randolph County, North Carolina.

These are the notes on Elizabeth’s parents but there may be some mistakes. John J. Allred born 1736 (probably wrong) in Randolph, North Carolina or in Wicomico, Northumberland, Virginia and his will was probated in 1792 in Randolph County, North Carolina. His wife listed is Margaret Chaney but there seems to be some dispute.  Margaret Chaney is listed as the daughter of Francis Chaney and Sarah Orrick.

I found  some notes I found on genforum which says that Elizabeth Allred is the daughter of a John Allred who was born in 1706 or 1708 in Wicomico, Northumberland, Virginia and who married Ann Hamilton. The John Allred of 1736 is listed as Elizabeth Allred’s brother rather than her father which would make Ann Hamilton Elizabeth Allred’s mother. The John Allred of 1736 married a Margaret Chaney.

This is definitely a subject of further research.

Parthenia Elizabeth Lomax was born on April 2, 1882 in Linden, Perry County, Tennessee and died March 17 1965 in Trenton, Gibson County, Tennessee. She was the daughter of James Russell Lomax and Mary Jane Richardson bith of Perry County, Tennessee.

Her father was a farmer and she was raised among her many cousins.  She was the eldest of ten children. She had four sisters: Ethel, Minnie, Matilda, Annie, and and five brothers: John Franklin, Jospeh Elsberry, Henry Thomas, Ellis, and Jacob Earl. Ellis was born in 1898 and died at the age of two.

“Partheny”, as she was known, married William Albert Burns on May 3, 1902 when she was 20 years old. Her first daughter, Ila Ruth, was born a year later in 1903. Unfortunately, Ila died when she was only a month old. Parthenia Burns waited two years before having Olive Pearl.  In 1907 she had Lena Irene, my great grandmother. Two years later she had Lora Mae and then after moving to Gibason County, Tennessee in 1912 had Hattie Lugenia, known as Lugenia. It seemed like they were trying to have a son. Two years later she had Russell Albert Burns. Finally, she took a break from having children. She didn’t have Mary and William Wallace until 1921 and 1923.

I don’t know much about her right now, but I hope to remedy that soon. I think the family’s strawberry red or even red hair and huge sparkling blue eyes come from her.  The traits from Parthenia Lomax and Albert Burns appear to be very dominant in my family.

I do not know much about Parthenia Lomax, but I do know a lot about her family tree which is very old.

12. James Ollie Etheridge was born on November 14, 1908 in Murray, Calloway, Ky and died on March 28, 1968 in Trenton, Gibson County, TN. He was the son of William Henry Etheridge and Callie Elsie Carter. On December 25, 1929 he married Lena Irene Burns in Humboldt, TN.

I don’t know much about his childhood, but I am sure my grandfather can fill in the blanks. He grew up on a farm. Sometime in his childhood his family moved back to Gibson County, TN and lived in Humboldt. He was too young or too old to be in a war, but raised a family during the depression. His mother, Callie Carter was his father’s second wife so he had brothers who were much older than himself. He had nephews and nieces not much younger than himself. He made Lena Burns and later married her. Not too long after that they moved to Trenton, TN. They had my grandfather, James William Etheridge soon after in 1930. Later in life he mowed the grass along the highways for the government. I think he had a business that contracted out to the business. I have heard nothing but the kindest things about him. My mother told me he had these big eyes that were very kind but glared when he got angry. He was greatly missed when he died of heart failure in 1968 when my mother was 12. My mother said it was snowing when he died and she remembered that winter was particularly cold.

13. Lena Irene Burns was born on August 11, 1907 in Linden, Perry, TN. She died on October 31, 1968 in Trenton, Gibson, TN. She was the daughter of William Albert Burns and Parthenia Lomax.

I also do not know much about her early life. I have seen pictures of her when she was young. She was a small woman with beautiful strawberry blonde hair. She had the nicest smile I have ever seen. My mother was particularly close to her and tries to be a Mamaw like she was. My mother told me about how she loved to play dress up with her Mamaw’s dresses and hats. There are many pictures and even some films of her. I would like to know more about her. I do not know about her likes and dislikes, where she went to school, her friends, etc. She died soon after her husband in 1968 I think also of heart problems.

The Children of James ollie Etheridge and Lena Irene Burns:

1. James William Etheridge 1930- Married Nancy Jane Johnson

2. Martha Geraldine Etheridge 1932-1999 Married Guy Mitchell Pybass

3. Robert Frank Etheridge 1933- Married Barbara Ann Hill

6. James William Etheridge was born in 1930 in Trenton, TN. His parents are James Ollie Etheridge and Lena Irene Burns.

I have heard nothing but the best of his parents who raised him to be an honest, hard working man. He ahs a younger sister and a younger brother. He lived in Trenton his entire childhood. I don’t know exactly how he was affected by the Depression. I know he played the clarinet in hsi school’s band and wore glasses from a young age. He had sandy blond hair and big blue eyes. He loved technological type of things. When he was 22 he met a beautiful girl from Dyer, TN. He had never seen her before. She looked like the type of girl you might see in the movies. She had black hair, blue eyes, and smooth ivory skin and was a little taller than average. He fell in love and they dated. He then found out later that she was only 15 years old. They still dated a while, and when she was 16 they eloped. She still finished school, while my grandfather did work with the Tennessee National Guard. My grandfather trained to fix radios and later TVs. They lived together as man and wife and lived in a trailer. When my grandmother was 20 she had my mother. Two years later my grandfather joined the LDS church and worked hard to help the church grow in West Tennessee. He later became Branch President. He traveled to Utah a few times to go to the temple as there were no temples close by at the time. He moved to Jackson, TN where he owned a sound equipment business with his brother Robert, who we call Uncle Bob. He moved his business to Memphis not long after his parents died. He did the sound for many concerts and he does the sound for the Miss Tennessee pageant every year. He worked for the LDS Memphis Stake for many years and did a lot of genealogy work. He later became the first counselor of the Memphis, TN Temple. He is still alive and doing well.

7. Nancy Johnson was born in 1936 in Dyer, TN. She is the daughter of Vilous Wayne Johnson and Nannie Mildred Warren.

She was a pretty girl who hated the farms and hated farm animals. She had an older sister Peggy who was her exact opposite and a younger brother named Billy. They had a rough time during the Depression and moved around a lot. They even had to help pick cotton. My grandmother got appendicitis as a child and nearly died. She loved school and had many friends. Because she was a little tall she played basketball. She was very pretty and looked older for her age. She attracted the handsome 22 year old James Etheridge when she was 15 years old. She skipped school and married him in Mississippi to the shock of her mother. She finished school and everything worked out. Since she has the RH negative factor there was worry that she should not have children. She had four. They were afraid to have more and adopted a son. She joined the LDS church with her husband and was a very faithful and always fulfilled her callings. She moved to Memphis and still lives there. She loves children and babysits children for extra money. She is a lot of fun and has an interesting kind of humor. She is my husband’s favorite relative. He loves her straight talk.
