FARLEY-HANNAH-TADE in Gallatin and White Counties Silas FARLEY, b. Aug. 13, 1802, married Mrs. Cordelia (Tade) Hannah, b. Feb. 21, 1801, widow of Brice HANNAH. The Hannahs lived in Gallatin Co., where son Dolphes Brice Hannah was b. Oct. 11, 1822, about 5 miles N. of Shawneetown. Brice, a businessman engaged in trade and forwarding, died in the spring of 1823, leaving wife, son and daughter Ellen. John McLaughlin was appointed to administer the estate, and left the area with the proceeds. Cordelia (Celia) was the daughter of David TADE. Census records indicate he was b. 1780 in NC. The widow married Silas Farley, a flatboatman and farmer. They moved to White Co., on the Big Wabash, where Silas died the winter of 1833-34. His last trip on the river was disasterous, with all goods lost, and the family was left without means. After planting and selling 10 acres of corn and vegetables, the widow moved ot Jefferson Co. in the fall of 1834. In September 1836, David Tade moved the family to Lee Co., Iowa. There they were assisted by Gen. Brown at Montrose. Dolph Hannah learned the brick mason's trade, and ran the ferry at Smith's Hills on Skunk River for two years. Silas and Celia had children: Eliza J. Farley, b. July 29, 1824, married Thomas J. PERRYMAN 1843 in Iowa, died in WA in 1894. Perrymans called her Eliza, but Farleys called her Louisa. William Farley, b. Dec. 23, 1825. Elizabeth A. Farley, b. May 27, 1828, m. Jackson W. Painter. In Iowa from 1850-1870 and in Portland OR by 1880. Silas M. Farley, b. Jan. 18, 1830. Moved to Muscatine Co. Iowa by 1850 and to Oregon by 1856. David A. Farley, b. Jan. 25, 1833. In Appanoose Co. Iowa in 1850, in Oregon in 1870. A letter from Dolph Hannah to LC Perryman, son of Eliza and Thomas, refers to Drury Farley of San Diego as Eliza's uncle; i.e., Silas' brother. He also refers to cousins Lizzie Terry, married to James Wesley Alderman; Mollie married to George W. Baker; Ellen married to James W. Melson. Have more information and some family letters; wish to correspond with other descendents. Jon Ridgeway (Seattle, WA) [email protected]

I'm looking for any and all information on the family of John Hart CRENSHAW. His wife was Francine "Sina" Stokes TAYLOR, daughter of Giles TAYLOR and (?) STOKES. Crenshaw first settled in the Eagle Creek settlement on the east side of Eagle Mountain about 1814. His father William CRENSHAW died that December. The Crenshaw name was often spelled as GRANGER in early records. Does anybody have any indication why? John CRENSHAW later bought land on Hickory Hill and built what today is known as the Old Slave House. He also lived in Cypressville (modern Junction) for a time. With the exception of his time on the east slopes of Eagle Mountain in what is now Saline County, he lived in what is now Gallatin County, Illinois. His son was William T. CRENSHAW. Some of his sons-in- law were John E. HALL and Gen. Michael Kelly LAWLER. All information is appreciated.
