CHITWOOD, Sallie Ann Murphy, 95, of Rocky Mount,VA, died Christmas Eve,
December 24, 2002. She was preceded in death by her husband, Trobie
Chitwood, her parents, James and Betty Murphy, brother, Frank Murphy and
sisters, Hattie Bradley and Mary Whorley. She is survived by one son
and daughter-in-law, Trobie "T.W." and Elaine Chitwood of Rocky Mount,
VA; one granddaughter and husband, Carolyn and Andy Shotwell of
Fincastle, VA; two grandsons and wives, Michael and Jean Chitwood of
Chapel Hill, NC, Jeffery and Kay Chitwood of Rocky Mount, VA; six
great-grandchildren; two sisters, Clara Willard of Roanoke, VA and Elise
Scott of Florida. Funeral services will be conducted from Sandy Ridge
Baptist Church 11a.m. Friday with Pastor Joe Dillon officiating.
Interment will follow in the church cemetery.
The only information I have is what little I have collected on Lazarus beyond what is in Sonny Chitwood's book.
For the 1850 Census Lazarus and Mary were in DeSoto county, MS. In the household were grandsons, James C. , 18 b. TN, John, 9, b. AL, Francis M., 7, b. AL. in the neighboring county of Panola , was the widow of Sarah Chitwood and son John G.. Sarah is the widow of Lazarus' son Nelson.
Other than a marriage record in Knox county, TN for Lazarus and Mary I have found no proof of these connections.
I can not find Lazarus on the 1860 census, and Frances M. in Chickasaw, County, MS in the household of Mariah Chitwood Parker - whom I believe to be the daughter of Lazarus -. Frances Marion joined a CSA unit from Chickasaw county and was killed at the battle of Franklin.

Other than the book "The Descendants of Matthias Chitwood" does anyone know
of information to connect Pleasant, Lazarus, Winnie, William and Daniel to
James? Information such as Wills, Bible Records, Land Records, Church
Records, or early day historical reports?

Has anyone on the list made application for Daughters of the American
Revolution through James Chitwood of Tennessee? I would like to correspond
with you.
