Notes

[NI0011] Updated April 28, 2004. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) 1870 United States Census for Tennessee, McNairy Co., 9th Civil District (Purdy Post Office): page 20; dwelling 119; family 119; August 25, 1870.

J. E. McGaughy is head of household, married to Sarah (Weaver) McGaughy. He was born in Alabama, is 50 years old and is a farmer with personal estate valued at $500. He is eligible to vote. Children listed in the household are: James F., Elizabeth, William J., Mary A., John H., Samuel, Nancy J., Amanda C., and Washington.

(2) LDS FamilySearch 1880 United States Census database for Beat 1, Tishomingo Co., MS. Family History Library Film 1254666, NA Film Number T9-0666, Page 37A.

John E. McGaughy is listed as 54 years old, born in Alabama, and is married to Sarah McGaughy. He has no occupation provided although several children are listed as "works on farm." No information is provided about his parents' birthplace either. He is head of household, married to Sarah McGaughy. The children listed in the household are: John Henry; Samuel; Caroline; Washington; Porter; and Eliza. The record designates his middle initial as "A" which is in error.

(3) From a family document of unknown origin, he "was a Methodist preacher (circuit rider). He farmed during the week and preached in the neighboring communities on Sunday; he rode a white horse to and from the churches at which he preached. He lived on a farm near Iuka and Burnsville, Mississippi." [Northeast corner of MS, Tishomingo Co.]

(4) Another family document: Buried at Little Flock Cemetery on the grounds of a Primitive Baptist Church; graves marked by large native stones - no markings.
