    general info, as I do not have this document, is that there was an "Applicaton in the Matter of Finding the Heirship of Harold C. Moyer" which states,
    that Harold was married a second time to Rachel Moyer (d. 19 Sept. 1933) who already had two sons, Rev. R.A.Beaty and Jessie B. Thompson (Tompkins?). Mae Winter Buth (Ruth), granddaughter of Harold also testified. She was the daughter of Mae Winter who was the daughter of Harold. Marie Henry was another granddaughter of Harold. Marie's mother was Gertie Crutcher.

    This is according to Johnny Moyer, referring to his mother, Elizabeth Deaton Moyer's research.

    comment: I contacted Indiana State Library 2 or 3 weeks ago with the request that they look for an obit for Flora (my great-grandmother). A follow up call a few days later, and then a week or some days went by and then the lady called to say she found it. Great! She mailed it, and then another week to get here. It came in the mail "today" Friday, May 27, 2011. What is so awesome about this is Flora died on Friday, May 27, 1938! How amazingly cool is that!

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Oliver* Hopkins Moyers (or Myers) was born on 2 Apr 1824 in White Pine, Jefferson Co, Tennessee; was christened on 7 Nov 1824 in Westminister and St. Paul Presbyterian Church, Jefferson Co, Tennessee (son of Christopher* Moyers (or Myers, Myres) and Sarah* McGowan); died after 1883 in of , White Co, Tennessee.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Census: 28 Oct 1850, Eastern Division, Bledsoe Co, Tennessee
    • Census: 24 Jul 1860, Double Springs, Putnam Co (District 16), Tennessee
    • Military: 1863, Clay Co, Illinois; registration
    • Research Notes: 1870, Fairfield, Wayne Co, Illinois
    • Census: 27 Jun 1870, Fairfield, Wayne Co, Illinois
    • Census: 1880, Pana, Christian Co, Illnois
    • Other-Begin: 9 Apr 1882, White Co, Tennessee; letter
    • Other-Begin: 18 Sep 1963; letter

    Notes:

    He registered for the military in 1863 in Illinois, but apparently did not serve. In 1870 he was a laborer, then 1880 he was a railroad carpenter. After he moved back to Tennessee, he did some farming.

    Letters both written by and quoted from some of the Stone family give a few more clues in to Oliver's life. They mention a daughter Cate who does not show up in the records and she is only known of because Cicero Stone mentioned in a letter in 1932 those who had died since a previous letter he had written in 1877, and listed Cate.
    She is not listed in her father's household in 1870 or 1880 census. Was she first born or last born? If first born, maybe married young? But more likely born last. Elizabeth was dead by 1880. Could she have died in childbirth? She was getting at a critical age for childbearing. Oliver, widowed by 1880 census, still living in Illinois. Nellie and John and Ann are there - no Cate. Ann marries soon after, September of that same year.
    In the letter in 1882, Cicero mentions that Moyers is living by him farming. It is also told that Nellie died of consumption at Uncle Anderson's home in January of 1882, that John, her brother, had come to be with her while she was sick, and she died the day after he left.
    So, it's very clear that Oliver moved back to Tennessee with Nelly and apparently Cate after Elizabeth died, probably shortly after the census was taken or in the following year. His other children were establishing their own lives. John and Ann stayed in Illinois. He seemed to have no other family in Illinois and it's not hard to imagine the need of the comfort of his wife's family and their support to raise Cate was his motivation to move back to Tennessee.
    Back to Cate, she must have grown up there in a close family relationship with Cicero for him to remember her specifically. He made a collective comment about several cousins had died, but then called her by name.
    Then we learn from the letters that Enoch Herschel Stone named his son after him, Oliver Myers Stone, as it's said, ""our Uncle Moyers was named after Nelly's father." Oliver Stone was born in 1858. Oliver Moyers was Herschel's brother-in-law, married to his sister Elizabeth C. in about 1853.
    In 1860, the families were all living in their own community in Putnam County (probably the same land, just changing county borders.) You'll see in residence enumerated as No. 773 Enoch Herschel Stone with his family and adjacent to him in Residence 774 is his widowed mother, Elizabeth (William) Stone with a couple of her adult children, Elihu Patton and Fanny. Then Oliver Hopkins Moyers and Elizabeth C are nearby in the residence numbered 781 where my great grandfather, shown as Christopher H, in the census is only 6 years old. Somehow that name evolved into Harold Charles.
    Much gratitude to the Stone family for their letters and to Floyd Weatherbee who posted them to the Internet. They brought a lot of life to my great-great grandparents, Oliver and Elizabeth Stone Moyer.

    (these letters are in a pdf file attached to Oliver and all the many other names of three or more generations mentioned in the letters.)

    Letter written in 1963 by Enoch, son of Cicero, to cousin Alene, wherein he quoted from this letter, written by Enoch Herschel to his brother Elihu.

    (dated Apr 9, 1882 from White Co, Tenn)
    Quote: "Cicero [Cicero Constantine Stone] still lives at Bloomington and Vick [Lenora Vick Stone] lives with him. Newton [Isaac Newton Stone] is there going to school. Herschel [Elihu Herschel Stone] is still living at his Uncle Geo. Anderson's [George W. Anderson, hus of Phama]. Aut is now at home. Moyers lives close to me and farming. Cleopatrae & Omega, Euclid & Mary
    are all at home growing finely. Minerva has only had
    two children. Mary is the youngest will be 7 years
    old the last day of July."

    This old letter was headed White Co. Tenn. and dated
    April 9, 1882.

    Now quoting a little further from the same old letter,
    Quote: "I suppose Phama, wrote you about the death
    of Nelly Moyers, she died last January at her Uncle
    Geo. Anderson's with consumption. John her brother
    came to see her while she was sick, and I think she
    died the next day after he left."
    (see attached letter)


    Other-Begin:
    Letter written by Enoch Garnet Stone, son of Cicero, in 1963 to his cousin, Alene. In it he quotes from a letter that had been dated 9 Apr 1882, written by Enoch Herschel, his grandfather, to Enoch Herschel's brother Elihu.

    Quoted from Enoch Herschel's letter of 1882, "Moyers [Oliver Hopkins Moyers, husb of Elizabeth C. Stone (d bef 1880)] lives close to me and farming."

    Then Enoch Garnet continues, "Now quoting a little further from the same old letter,
    Quote: "I suppose Phama [Phama Lovina Stone], wrote you about the death of Nelly Moyers, she died last January at her Uncle Geo. Anderson's with consumption. John her brother
    came to see her while she was sick, and I think she died the next day after he left."

    I quote the above to show you that Uncle Moyers was named for Nelly's father, who I am quite sure married Elizabeth, who was grandfather's sister, i.e., I know he had a sister, Elizabeth, and am quite sure she married Mr. Moyers. He is the one who lived in Nashville,and Ridley Stone was my brother who lived there for many years until he moved to California."

    I quote the above to show you that Uncle Moyers was named for Nelly's father, who I am quite sure married Elizabeth, who was grandfather's sister, i.e., I know he had a sister, Elizabeth, and am quite sure she married Mr. Moyers. He is the one who lived in Nashville.
    (see attached)

    named for Nelly's father (Oliver);
    that would be Oliver M Stone, son of Enoch Herschel Stone.
    married Elizabeth "grandfather's sister"

    Page 64 Rigdon S. Barnhill was postmaster to the Senate in the Assembly of 1858-60. R.T. Forth was the representative.

    Page 72: Capt Willis Hargrave's company of rangers, by camping one night just north of the present town of Fairfield, furnished the first settlers for this portion of the conty. In his company were some of the Barnhill family, after whom Barnhill Township takes its name and they remembering the beautiful camp returned and settled here as soon as peace was proclaimed and the Indian was out of the way."

    Page 78 The company from Wayne Co was Company F, Third Regiment in the Mexican war, and the roster of the company is as follows:... Musician Jefferson W. Barnhill, Privates, Rigdon S. Barnhill ..."

    Page 83: August 24, R.S. Barnhill joined the company, and Col Hicks made him Adjutant of the regiment.

    Page 86: "June 27 (1864), the Fortieth Regiment participated in the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. Lieut. Co. R.S. Barnhill, of this county, was shot through the head and instantly killed, while leading his column in a charge."

    Page 179 - It is accepted tradition - a tradition borne out by local facts - that the first house in Fairfield was built by the Barnhills. They had entered the land from the Government, upon which the town was laid out, and had lived there for some time before, and thus may be termed the first settlers of the town, as well as the first of the township. This first house stood a little north of the present bank building, but on the opposite side of the street, near the marble factory. It has passed away with other landmarks of the pioneer days, and the spot now is only known by a few of the older citizens..... John Barnhill built the second residence in Fairfield on the lot where Mr. Thomas L. Cooper's handsome brick residence now stands. It was of logs, and was built by Barnhill just after his marriage which took place about the time of laying out the town.
    The elder Barnhill, the patriarch of the Barnhill family, died in Gallatin County before any of the family moved to this section, as we have stated in a preceding chapter, and his widow came here with her children among the earliest settlers of the county. Hardin Barnhill was the eldest son, and John, mentioned above, was the second, while Andley was the third and youngest. The family at one time was a rather numerous and prominant one - prominant in business and local affairs but of no particular pre-eminence. they were honest, industrious, honorable, faithful and accommodating - kings among their kind, fine types of their class, with instincts keenly whetted in their struggle for existence against the wild game, the ferocious beasts and the murderous savage. The Barnhills have now been dead for many years, with no lineal descendants surviving them nearer than the grandson of the Widow Barnhill - "Jeff" Barnhill, as he is called. Even he is growing old and is becoming bent with age and infirmity. There is much in the history of the Barnhills that recalls a type of that day. They had been admirably trained, or had trained themselves, for their place in life and in security and content had lived out their span, tilling to fullness their measure of ambition."
