Jacob^ Anthony, Sr (immigrant)

Other Events and Attributes:

• Ethnicity: German

Notes:

A letter written by Ephraim M. Anthony (1836-1908), a son of Adam Anthony and grandson of Jacob Anthony, on 30 July 1902 to Thomas Shofner, and published in the Shoffner Family History, confirms the marriage and lists some of the children.

My grandmother was Magdalena Shofner, married to my grandfather Jacob Anthony in North Carolina. She was a full sister to Martin and Peter Shofner. The children were Henry Anthony, Jacob Anthony, Nicholas Anthony, Adam Anthony, and Paul Anthony. Henry Anthony remained in North Carolina, Jacob settled in Lincoln County, Tennessee; Nicholas lived on a large farm where Chris Shofner now lives. Adam Anthony lived on a big farm on which brother Peter S. Anthony now lives. Paul Anthony lived in Nordaway County, Mo. In my grandfather's family there were five sisters who remained in North Carolina.

Also from Bob's Genealogy Filing Cabinet:
Jacob Anthony's will, dated 31 July 1828 and proved May 1835 in Orange County, North Carolina, states ?I was born the first day of May 1745?.[13] He gave "to my daughter Mary Moser my plantation where I now live on containing 145 acres...subject to the following condition, to wit, by my daughter Mary Moser paying to each of my other twelve children, them or their heirs, the sum of fifty dollars apiece, paying the first payment within one year after my death to my eldest son Jacob, then each in succession according to seniority annually until the whole of my twelve children receive the sum of fifty dollars apiece.? He appointed his son Henry Anthony and Adam Wrightsel executors. He further stated he wished his household and stock be "sold and divided equally amongst my thirteen children." The will was signed by Jacob Anthony with his mark, with A. W. Albright the only witness. I found no further reference to the administration of the estate.

The children of Jacob Anthony and Magdalena Shofner are not entirely certain. His will speaks of thirteen living children but names only three. The above mentioned letter by his grandson mentions only five sons and five unnamed daughters. The Shofner history identifies one of the five daughters as ?Magdalena?, but it lists a total of seven sons (adding a George and a Peter).[14] To confuse matters more, in 1950 a Mrs.. Glenn P. McPherson supplied the author of a Bedford County, Tennessee book with a list of eleven children of Jacob Anthony and Magdalena Shofner, along with their spouses.[15] She listed only three sons: Henry, Adam, and Nicholas but gave the names of eight daughters: Dorothy, Margaret, Sallie, Betsy, Eve, Katie, Mary, and Barbara ? omitting her evidence in each case

Jacob^ married Mary Magdalena^ Shoffner, (immigrant) about 1773. Mary (daughter of Michael Christian^ Shoffner, (immigrant) and Ann Margaretha^ Fogleman (Vogleman), (immigrant)) was born in 1757 in Frankford, Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany; died on 26 Mar 1827 in Orange Co, North Carolina; was buried in St. Paul's Lutheran Ch, Alamance Co, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Was called "my eldest son" in Jacob's will.

Information from another researcher:
He was evidently the Jacob Anthony enumerated just over the line in Guilford County in the 1800 census, he and his wife both 16-26 and a young son under 10. He apparently went to Tennessee quite early, as a Jacob Anthony and a Nicholas Anthony appeared on the 1812 tax list of Bedford County, Tennessee. The 1820 Bedford census is incomplete, but he is probably the same Jacob Anthony who appeared in the Franklin County, Tennessee (adjacent to Bedford) census of 1830 aged 50?60. He was not located in 1840, and I presume he died in the 1830s. His widow was evidently Barbara Low. A "Mrs.. Barbara Antony" was in the 1840 Franklin County census with a household matching that of the1830 census. On 25 February 1845 the heirs of Samuel Low, one of whom was Barbary Anthony, sold land on Thompson's Creek in Bedford County to John Anthony.[17] Jacob and Barbara appear to have had four daughters in the 1830 census, but only one son. The son was evidently the John Anthony to whom the land was sold.

From another researcher:
Born about 1795 according to the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses of Bedford County when he was listed with a wife named Sally (born c1797 in NC). According to the Shofner book, which provided no evidence, this wife was Sarah Mitchell (1797?1884), buried with him in the Shofner Chapel, whom Adam married about 1819.[19] However, a marriage bond in Orange County, North Carolina shows the marriage of Adam Anthony to Sally Sharp on 24 April 1819.[20] Adam appears to have stayed in North Carolina through the 1820 Orange County census, and then moved to Tennessee. He first appears in Bedford County in the 1830 census. Adam died in Bedford County, Tennessee in 1878. There are several records of the settlement of his estate that identify his children.[21] Both he and Sarah are buried in the Shofner Lutheran Chapel graveyard there.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Ethnicity: German
• Census: 1850, Dist 25, Bedford Co, Tennessee
• Will: 1859, Bedford Co, Tennessee

Notes:

By the late 1850s, in his late 70s, he was suffering from some form of dementia. In September 1858 a jury was appointed "to examine the lunacy of Nicholas Anthony".[7] In October the jury reported he "was a lunatic and unable to take care of his business," and the court appointed his son Laton J. Anthony as his guardian.[8] Nicholas, who would have been about 78 at this time, died within a year, as his will was proved at the October court 1859, with the widow Sally Anthony and Laton J. Anthony appointed as his administrators.[9] The will itself no longer exists, but later court records make it clear that he left one piece of property to his children and his home place property to Sally during her lifetime with reversion to his children at her death.

The widow, Sarah, appears in the 1860 and 1870 censuses in the household of her son Laton J. Anthony. She evidently died sometime in 1873. A statement filed by George T. Anthony on 1 October 1872 states that his father Nicholas Anthony died in 1858 and his widow still resided on the property where he died.[10] An offer to auction the home place land date 4 February 1873 also mentions the land ?on which his widow resides.?[11] But a document dated 29 September 1873 speaks of the ?estate of our grandmother Sallie Anthony?, implying she was dead.[12] The settlement of her estate by her son Laton J. Anthony occurred after Nicholas Anthony?s death.[13] I failed to note the date.

At his death, Nicholas owned two pieces of property: 114 acres on Thompson's Creek in the 24th Civil District of Bedford County, and the home place of 198 acres in the 25th Civil District in Roseville. The 1860 and 1870 censuses show Sarah Anthony living in the 25th Civil District, and his children later stated that Nicholas (and later Sarah) lived on that property in Roseville. Nicholas Anthony?s lost will must have left the 114 acre tract in equal shares to his children, for they engaged in a protracted court case over the distribution of that land in the 24th District. Six of the children wanted to sell the property and divide the proceeds, while the rest preferred to partition the land. The records of this case clearly show the children (or their heirs) were splitting the property 13 ways because, before the case was settled, several shares and parts of shares were sold, in each case the shares being 1/13. For example, Henry Anthony sold his 1/13 share to George Thomas Anthony prior to settlement.[14] The case was in court before 2 November 1869 because on that date the court acted on the recommendation of a commission it had appointed to consider a partition of the property. The commission laid out a 2/13 partition for George T. Anthony (19 1/2 acres), who owned his own share and Henry Anthony?s share, and recommended the remaining 94 1/2 acres be sold.[15] The land was then sold to William Shofner for $3,780 and the proceeds divided 11 ways -- $341.39 apiece after expenses. George T. Anthony then immediately sold his 19 1/2 acres to the same William Shofner, completing the transfer of all 114 acres.[16] The case was settled on 1 September 1873 when the court clerk recorded that he was holding the money for each of the heirs.[17]

After Sally Anthony?s death (probably in 1875), the division of the 198 acre home place in the 25th District prompted a similar protracted court case, with the petition filed 4 November 1875. It stated that the land contained ?the home in which Sally Anthony had resided at her death and for years before.? Again, some legatees wanted to partition the land and others wanted to sell it and divide the proceeds. This time around, the children traded their shares beginning in 1870, with some shares changing hands more than once. By the time the petition was filed, Layton J. Anthony had acquired the interests of Frederick, Roddy, Mary, Jacob, Elizabeth, and Young Anthony, giving him a 7/13 share, and argued for a partition.[18] He eventually succeeded and ended up owning the family home which he apparently had never left. Note that there were a smaller number of litigants in the 1875 case, with only three of the Anthony children participating.

Notes:

From Bob's Filing Cabient II (Bob Baird) (http://www.genfiles.com/anthony/anthonyjacob.htm):

Powell Anthony (c1799 ? aft1840) He is mentioned as a son of Jacob Anthony, his name given as "Paul Anthony", in the Shoffner book as "b cir. 1799, lived in Nordaway (sic) County, Missouri.?[22] I found no census record for a Paul Anthony anywhere in Missouri for 1830/40/50. However, he is listed as "Powell Anthony" in the 1830 and 1840 censuses of Orange County, with his age given as 30-40 in 1830 and 40-50 in 1840. That makes him too old to have been the male 16-18 in his father's 1820 household, though I could not find Powell Anthony in a separate household in 1820. As Paul Anthony, he was bondsman for a marriage in Orange County in 1831.[23] As "Powel Anthony", he was executor of the will of Letty Neece dated 12 December 1832.[24] I did not find him after 1840. As an intriguing coincidence, I note that a Powell Kimbrough, a neighbor of Jacob Anthony and brother-in-law of Frederick Moser, died in 1795.[25] Could this son have been named for him?

Elizabeth married William Neese about 1829 in Tennessee. William was born about 1792 in Graham, Alamance Co, North Carolina; died before 1870; was buried in of, Henry Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mary had found her way to Texas where her brother Roddy was living, and had remarried to John B. Palvadore (Juan Baptiste Palvadore) on 12 February 1845 in Nacogdoches County, Texas. Palvadore?s household in the 1850 census of Nacagdoches County showed a wife Mary (aged 42 born NC) and children: Mary (18), John (15), Polly (10), Rebecca (8), Eliza A. (5), Margaret (4), James (3), and Susan (1). All the children were shown as born in Texas except Mary and Polly who were born in Louisiana. Palvadore must have died not long thereafter, as Mary was shown as a widow in both the 1860 and 1870 census of San Augustine County. The 1860 census has her as age 52 with the last four children plus Peter Nicholas Pavadore, age 8. The 1870 census has her as age 59 with Peter still at home.

On 7 December 1870, Mary Palvadore, widow, of San Augustine County, Texas wrote a power of attorney to ?Roddy Anthony my brother to proceed to Tennessee [and sue Layton J. Anthony] for my part of the estate of my father Nicholas Anthony or my mother Sarah Anthony.?[25] Layton promptly bought her share.[26]

From Bob's Genealogy Filing Cabinet II:
His son James and Roddy answered questionnaires regarding their CSA service, providing us with his wife's name. James Frederick Anthony stated that "my father was old style Methodist Circuit rider... had often as many as 15 churches under his charge and preached every day in the week..."
[34] This statement also declared that William Horace Anthony was born at Thompson's Creek in Bedford County but lived most of his life in Moore [formerly Franklin] County, that he and his two older sons joined the 1st Tennessee Regiment in 1861 and that he served as chaplain in 1862, when he resigned on account of being afflicted with rheumatism, contracted in camp. James Anthony's statement also declares that his father was a "full blooded German", that all four of his grandparents came from Germany, one of his grandmothers being named Shofner.

A similar statement by Roddy Anthony declared that his father was a traveling minister in the Tennessee Conference. He made a similar statement regarding his father's ancestry. Roddy gave his father's middle name as "Harris" and James gave it as "Horace".

The move from Bedford County to Franklin County evidently occurred between the births of those two sons, each given the respective county as their own birthplace. James Anthony's statement mentions that his brother Nicholas A. Anthony also volunteered in the CSA in 1861 but was discharged after a few months with a disability.

A good deal of information on his family came from my father's correspondence with Lassie Munsey, a granddaughter of James Frederick Anthony. There is also a family Bible with all his children.

Regiment (The 1st Confederate), mustered in and left the state in April 1861, before the state seceded. Robert served in all the battles in Virginia, first at Manassas and ending at Gettysburg. He fought in the famous Pickett Charge and lost his left leg above the knee.

The following are answers Roddy Anthony provided to the authors of "The Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionnaires"

At the time of the questionnaire, he lived in Tullahoma, Tenn. Route 1. He was 80 years and 10 months old. He was born on the waters of Thompson's Creek, Bedford Co, TN in 1841. He was living in Franklin Co., now part of Moore Co., TN when he enlisted in the service of the Confederacy. Before the war he was a miller and farmer. His father was a traveling minister in the Tennessee Confederacy. Roddy did not own any land at the start of the war. Neither his parents or himself owned any slaves. His parents owned 110 acres of land valued at $1500 when the war started. They lived in a frame house with 6 rooms. When he was young, Roddy plowed, hoed, cradled, ran a saw mill and griss mill. His father farmed when he wasn't on the preaching circuit. His mother "done" cooking, spinning, weaving, cutting and making clothes. His parents did not have any servants. The community held all work with honor and high respect. All white men in the community engaged in work, none of them led lives of idleness. Roddy said that the men of the community that owned slaves did not feel better than anyone else. Slaveholders and non-slaveholders mingled on an equal basis. Everyone was sympathetic to each other. Slaves had no influence in the political process. Roddy stated that all industrious young men had to do to make something of themselves was to show an industrious will, they weren't discouraged by slaveholders. Roddy attended a public free school, the only school in the community, for 24 months "for as my memory alow". The school ran for 2 1/2 to 3 months of the year. The school was at the door until he moved away then it was 2 miles away. School was not attended regularly by the children of the community. The teacher was a man, people didn't think a woman could teach in "them" days.

Roddy enlisted in the Confederate army in April, 1861 in Winchester, Franklin Co, TN. He served under Peter Tuney, 1st Tennessee (The 1st Confederate). His company was sent to Richmond, Virginia first. It was a little over a year before they were engaged in battle, the first being the Seven Pine below Richmond. The following is Roddy's experience in the war:
"I lived in camp all right nothing to complain of. Very well clothed in camp. Slept on our blanket some time cold some time warm had beef and flour bred had very little corn bread. Some of the boy complained of getting hungry but I never but one time when we were on our retrea[t] from Richmond to Yorktown. We had to take soldiers life in cold and disease. I was in hospital with attack of Rheumatism and Jaundice something like a month with reasonable treatment at Lynchburg Virginia (1862). I was in hospital while in prison at Fort Delaware with small pox about 40 days very roughly treated but got over it. This is my prison life in full. After the battle of Manna we went to Camp Fisher on the Potomac River we were not in this battle (but) was on the battle field wintered and drilled. After Seven Pine the big battle below Richmond lasting several days. Cedar Run (in Virginia) Sharpburg, Maryland, Fredrickburg, VA, Chancelsville, VA, Gettysburg, Penn. Captured there on the 3 of July 1863 placed in Fort Delaware prison till June 8, 1865 released on parole and sent home. Came on the train to Tullahoma transportation furnished free. W.A. Marshall and my self came on the same transportation from Fort Delaware home. I got home on the 10 of June".

After the war, Roddy was a carpenter doing cabinetry. He lived in Wartrace for 7 years. After the death of his father, he bought a place in Moore County. He attended the Methodist Church and served as a justice of the peace for two terms. He listed his father's name as William "Harris" Anthony. Brother James listed the name as William "Horace". Roddy's mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Pollock, daughter of John and Alsey Pollock who lived near Roseville in Bedford Co. He agreed with Robert that his paternal grandparents were German, living and dying in Tennessee. He stated that his mother's people came from Pennsylvania and they were from Ireland.

Rod married Mrs Birdie (..) Anthony in Jun 1848 in Tennessee. Birdie was born about 1841; died after 1872. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

According to brother James' answer in "The Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionnaires" Nicholas Anthony volunteered in a confederate regiment in 1862 serving only a few months and was discharged due to a disability.

My father was old style Methodist Circuit rider ... my father being a minister had often as many as 15 churches under his charge and preached every day in the week and so of course was at home less than 1/3 of his time. While Father was gone, Mother had charge of her six boys, did all the house work, carded and spun and wove and would cut and make the clothes for her family, including her own, doing the sewing with her fingers. She never used a sewing machine in her life. They had no servants ...

I went to school two or three months every fall - advanced rapidly - had completed the Bluebacked Speller at 14. School was about three miles [away] ... I enlisted in the Confederate army in November 1864 and was sworn in the woods in Lincoln county in Company B 28th Tenn. Cavalry, Capt. Reed Holmer, Major Jordan Hayes Battalion; Brig. Gen. B.J. Hill. [Our company was first sent] to follow Hood's army out of Tennessee but got cut off. We turned back and went out through East Tenn. Our company was in only one regular battle and I was 30 miles away with a scouting party at the time. I was always with a scouting party - Our battles were "shoot and run" but we did not always work the lead. I was cook for my mess and I will tell how the best bread I ever ate was made. The boys got the meal and of course it was not sifted but I spread an oil cloth on the ground, put the meal on it, took a canteen of good branch water, poured it on the meal and worked it to the right consistency. Took a flat rail, rolled out my dodgers and filled my rail full. Sat it up before the fire until it toasted brown on one side - then turned the bread over & toasted the other side - of course there was some in the middle not quite done ... but we had appetites and I want to say I never in all my life ate better bread. And we ate hundred of meals of just such bread and nothing else and this is to some extent how we lived in camp. Our uniforms were uniform ragged! There was no two suits alike. We had rags of all sizes, rags of all shapes, rags of all colors, texture and makes; rags of bright colors and gloomy ones too; rags of all shades the world ever knew. "Rummage amongst them and twist them around; But a suit that will please you can never be found!" I was paroled in Chattanooga on the 16th day of May 1865. I have my parole now. We were discharged about sundown and given transportation to Tullahoma on a freight car. We climbed on the top and laid down and were soon asleep. The train either stopped or ran very very low for we were only about 30 miles from Chattanooga when daylight came. We landed at Tullahoma about two o'clock - walked six miles home, from there and found the whole family down with small pox - could not go in the yard - slept a whole week under a shade tree - But oh! how thankful I could see and talk to my mother. [Since the close of the war] being under age I was subject to my father's demands for two years. He sent me to school for ten months which is practically all the education I ever got. My life since the war has varied but slightly from the general run of Confederate soldiers. The war taught me that a man could do without everything he couldn't get so I took as my motto "Pay as you go and when you can't pay don't go". I don't only preach this but I practice it. My estate is not large but it is worth one hundred cents on the dollar. I have had nine children born to me, six of whom were raised to maturity - Five of them are now living and to my credit - there is not one of them has ever served term in the penitentiary yet. I never held an office. I ran for a county office once and I didn't think I had an enemy in the world. When the votes were counted I concluded that my friends were "darned nigh" as scarce as my enemies. However "Alls well that ends well" and I have no fears for the rest of my allotted time for I can say with the poet in all sincerity, "What ever my lot, thou hast taught me to say it is well with my soul".

The following was sent to the authors on Mar 17, 1922:

"... In the fall of '64, Maj. Jordan Hayes had instructions to raise a battalion of cavalry, he raised three companies of perhaps 50 men each. - or boys, I should say - for there were not sufficient whiskers in the entire bunch to line a birds nest. We attempted to go out with Hood's army but were cut off - we turned and went out through East Tenn. and into North Carolina across South Carolina and across Georgia below Atlanta into Alabama, to a point on Coosa River some miles below Gadsden, where we were when the war ended. We broke camp there May 15th 1865 and were paroled in Chattanooga on the 16th and come into Tullahoma in a box car - upright however - on the 17th. I make no claim to any heroic deeds, but am entitled perhaps to one distinction, I belong to a family whose father and four sons all served in the Confederate army and were all honorably discharged - the three oldest served or two of them at least, served in the first regiment made up in the state and I, the youngest - in the very last command made up in the Confederacy and perhaps the last whole command paroled".
