husband both granduated from the University of Tennessee,they live in Knoxville and my
grandchildren were born in Knoxville. We went to Troy Ohio last spring trying to find
info. My grandparents (Grt are in the pulaski cemetary.I was told Samuel was buried behind
a house but Iam not sure where? Where is Maury Tn.Have you read the book Greenups,Wittens
and Cecils?The book is full of info. I have a disk of our part of the family.
Mary Jeanne....Thanks for the info on your Tobias P. Cecil...
Can you give us dates, places and names for his wives and children?
My husband also descends from Samuel W[itten?] [1718-1785]and Rebecca White
[1723-1815] Cecil through
their 6th child, Zachariah [1758-1823] who married Nancy Ingram- both
of whom are buried in Washington Twp?, Shelby Co Ohio.
Their oldest son Samuel I. [1784-1856] married Sara Brown, both of whom are
buried in the Cecil family cemetery, Mt.Pleasant, Maury Co. TN.
Their third son James Harvey [1812-1883] married Julia E. Ingram [a cousin I
believe] and they both are buried in the Lawrence Cemetery, in Mt.
Pleasant, TN.
Their first born son, Samuel Shelby [1851-1892] married Mary Jones
Cross,[1852-1891] both died in Mt. Pleasant TN,- Gravestones not
found--still looking.
Their youngest child Arthur R. "Dick" Cecil [1886-1959] was my husband's
father with his second wife, Myrtle McLendon. They are both buried in Oak
Hill Cem, Lakeland, Polk County Florida.
I realize that most of this is well known as the sons and daughters of Sam
and Rebecca White Cecil are quite well documented, but I post it for the
sake of anyone new to the list who may want to add to their records. I would
welcome any new info for my records. Thanks.
My father in law, Arthur "Dick" Cecil, --the same one who went to visit a
brother James Harvey in ND with his friend Kent Kitrell in 1921,-- had two
other brothers and a sister who settled in Texas and Montana-- Only
"Dad"Cecil stayed in TN and then he moved to central Florida about 1925.
Regards.
