Hello. I'm researching in KY for info on Morris Franklin Chumley, b. 27
Mar 1881. He first m. Leona Belle Clutts. They had children Madge and
Naomi Blanche. After the death of Leona, he m. Nell "Mama Nell"
Johnson. Together they had children William, David, Alma, Ann, Marion,
Nell, Ora Bell and Virginia. Both Leona and "Mama Nell" died in Ohio
Co., KY.
Naomi Blanche b. 23 Aug 1906, m. 14 Jul 1928 in Hazard, Perry Co., KY to
Frank H. Walker. Blanche was by best friend's grandmother and I am
researching for her.
Also, I noticed while researching thru the archives that there is an
Elizabeth "Betsy" Cadle m. to Andrew Chumley. My grandmother was a
Caudill and I would be interested in finding out more about Betsy. I
have almost 300 Caudills in my database and would love to connect these
lines. Maybe my friend and I are cousins!
Any help you can provide is appreciated and I am always willing to
share.
Thanks,
Dianne Dearring

the West side of Benton Creek, adjoining the Riley Grubb farm. It has a
Sportsman Lake built on it. A story is told that Mary Shoemate thought
the house was on fire one night and sent Stephen upstairs to see. He
hollered back to her, "Bring the lamp up here, I can't see if the house
is on fire up here in the dark!"

Several months ago I mentioned that I had copies of various pages, only
one or two consecutive, the others just odd, from a typewritten book
called "Pioneer History of Benton Creek, Union Township, Crawford
County, Missouri - West Branch and East Branch - by Gilbert J. Lay. I
have finished copying these pages - I tried very hard to copy it exactly
as it is typed - names, punctuation, etc. There are eight pages and I
will try to send them two at a time. Hopefully someone will pick up
something they do not have for the Louis and Mary (Freeman) Chumley
children and grandchildren. Regardless, it is sorta' interesting
reading. Jo Collier
Excerpts From PIONEER HISTORY OF BENTON CREEK, Union Township, Crawford
County, Missouri, West Branch-East Branch by J. Gilbert Lay
(Someone copied odd pages from this book - it pertains to the family of
Louis and Mary Freeman Chumbley. Few of the pages seem to be in
numerical order - so I have numbered them as Part One, Part Two, etc.)
Part One:
BENTON CREEK, a water shed drainage into the Merimac River has its
headquarters near the Dent-Phelps County Line and this East branch
begins near old Bangert or Avery, Missouri, on the property now in the
Carty family. We give here the first three farms whose drainage is the
beginning of the East branch of Benton Creek. James Carty was the
grandfather of these Cartys. His children are reported to be: Moses,
Jube, John, Green, Rilda and Jane. Green (I believe this should be
Moses) married Belle Nichols; Jube married Judy B. Bowman; John married
a Priest; Moses (I believe this should be Green) married a Houston;
Rilda married a Heard, and Jane married a Nichols. Green, a son of
Moses and Belle (Nichols) Carty married Ida Ray and they had two sons,
Elvie, who married Ellen Musgraves, a daughter of John Musgraves;
Earl(Carty), who married Cammie Chumley, a daughter of Wm. Dud. and
Carrie (Plank) Chumley. They had these four children: Wm. Dudley,
Green Berry, Wayne, and Bonnie Carty. James, a brother to Green Carty
married Agness Douglas; Sarah was a sister to Green and James Carty.
The next two farms on the head of the East branch of Benton Creek are
the HORNER and PLANK farm.s William Horner married Mary Smith and lived
on the farm called by his name. His children were: Talt, unmarried;
Jane married W. H. Carr and David Lay; Maggie married Wid Grubbs; Nellie
married Edward Condray; Jackson married, the lst time, Ettie Conter, the
widow of William Cotner; Jerry married Sadie Williams; Tom married Cora
Ross; Ruth married Richard Palmer, and Ann married (1) Curtis Conoway
and (2) William Ellis. W. H. Carr, who first married Jane, was a son of
T. E. and Anna Carr; David Lay, who next married Jane, was son of James
and Eliza (Ferrill-Woodson) Lay; Wid Grubb, who married Maggie, was son
of Riley and Judith (Andrews) Grubb; Edward Condry, who married Nellie,

...their children: Arthur, Anna, Josie, Clema, Elmar and Eilliott. John
Benedick (Dick) Plank, a son of Criss and Nannie (Connel) Plank married
Ama Tomlinson, a daughter of Robert and Adaline (Michael) Tomlinson,
lived and reared these children on this farm: John A. "Bus"; Bertha,
Mary Ann and Eugene Plank. The Hubbel place on West Benton Creek lies
North of the Dick Gunter and Criss Plank places is one of the oldes on
the Creek. Hubbel bought it from Wm. Asher. It was to this farm that
John and Margaret Hubbel came during the Civil War. An interesting
story is handed down relative to their coming up from Arkansas. It
seems that they encountered some soldiers under the leadership of
Captain Cook who took their possessions and belongings they were
bringing along in an ox cart. After the war, and Captain Cook has
returned home on the Merimac River East of Benton Creek, Hubbel decided
to get revenge on the Captain who had taken his possessions as he was
coming into Missouri, so he got his gun and started to pay the Captain a
visit. Enroute to his home near Cook Station, he met up with Pole Yeary
and Sam Craig and after telling them of his purpose in seeing the
Captain, they persuaded him to return and not have any trouble. Later,
when the Captain heard of it, he sent money and paid Hubbel for his
property they had taken. One son born to the Hubbel's was named Edward,
who married Emma Miller. John Hubbel died September 29, 1895, age 52
years. Margaret Hubbel married John Wright who had come to Missouri
from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. His first wife, Sara CHUMBLEY, had been
the daughter of Louis and Mary (Freeman) CHUMBLEY, born in Virginia.
The Hubbel farm was owned by John Clinton, a son of Jenkins and Eva
(Williamson) Clinton. A superstitious story was circulated among
neighbors that the Hubbel house was haunted. Many and varied are the
families who later lived on the Hubbel farm. Jim Gallegar, a tradesman
from St. Louise, became owner of it. He cleaned out the barn one
evening and piled the cockel burrs on the barn floor and set fire to
them, and supposing the fire had gone out, left, and that night the barn
burned down. William Williams and Catharine and Elliott Williams and
Louella, with one...... (End of Part Two)

Hi cousins!
This list has been much too quiet of late! Is everyone hard at research?
Arva Chumley sent me some information the other day. Some of it I had not
seen before, so thought I would share. I think she is pretty good about her
sources and hasn't pulled these dates out of thin air. I'm giving everything
as she gave it to me.
Children of Andrew Chumbley (b. 1804) and Elizabeth Cadle. Andrew is the
oldest child, we believe, of Robert Chumbley and Elizabeth Ford.
(1) Mahala Ann Chumbley, b. abt 1820, Tenn.; d. 5 Dec 1917; m. 28 May 1844 in
Claiborne Co. TN to Joseph m. McWilliams (b. 20 Sept 1818; d. 15 Apr 1890).
(2) William Chumbley, b. abt 1826, TN; m. 5 Sept 5 1846 to Sarah Dotson in Cl.
Co. TN to Sarah Dotson (b. abt 1831 TN).

31 Mar 1872).
(4) Martha Chumbley, b. abt 1831; m. 1 Jul 1851 in Pulaski Co KY to John
Chaney/Cheyne. [Arva had Martha married to John Chaney; the Pulaski Co.
Marriage info that Mary posted last month gave the marriage date and listed
groom as John Cheyne; however, it also says that martha's father was F.
William Chumbley?]
(5) James Franklin Chumbley, b. abt 1834, Cl. Co. TN; m. 26 Jan 1859 in
Pulaski Co, KY to Lucy Ellen Fry (b. abt 1834, IN).
(6) Elias Brittain Chumbley, b. abt 1838, Cl. Co. TN; m. 11 Nov 1858 in
Pulaski Co. KY to Ellen Nelly Dunsmore (b. abt 1836, KY).

says March] 1862 in Pulaski Co. KY to (1) Nancy Turpen; m. (2) Mary Ann Black
(8) John J. Chumbley, b. 2 Feb 1842, Cl. Co. TN; d. 15 Sept 1933; m. 15 Aug

(b. 26 Jun 1851).
[Arva did not list the three children born to Andrew and Elizabeth after the
1850 Census; I think someone tracked them with a later Pulaski Co. KY Census:
(10) Lurinda Chumbley, b. abt 1850.
(11) Mary S. Chumbley, b. abt 1855.
(12) Leander Chumbley, b. abt 1862.]
[Arva also did not note Andrew's 2nd marriage to Jane McClendon (also Jane's
2nd marriage) 1 Apr 1866 in Pulaski Co. KY. I believe we found 2 or 3
children of this marriage via the Pulaski Co. Cemetery list. Sorry I don't
have the names in front of me.]

Visited both web sites for a long time this evening. Haven't had a chance
to do so in a good while! Very impressive and addictive, all put together
like that! You all do great work! I wish I had more info available and it
makes me determined to get to Clayton Library in Houston to do more research
on the Texas Chumleys! I'm so happy to have been led to this list, you just
don't know. Everyone is so enthusiastic and dedicated, for which I am very
thankful! I knew so little about my Chumley genealogy until mid to late
1996. Thanks to everyone who has contributed every bit of information. By
this time, I know some of my info was inaccurate, but I'm so glad to have it
cleared up for me. We all know how it is to bark up the wrong tree! This
site has saved me years of research! Thanks to Cyndi and Eddie for putting
all this together. This is really award deserving, in my opinion! As soon
as I have anything further to contribute, you'll hear from me for posting!
I do know that in the Love-Chumley Fight, Dod Chumley was indeed Thomas
Monroe Chumley and I have a copy of his CSA pension application if anyone
needs any information from it!

Andy,
Can you refresh my memory and let me know if I had promised you some
information before Christmas? It seems like you had asked me for
something but I don't think I got it done for you?
Hello to everyone on the list. I have had many computer problems but I
THINK things are fixed and running again.

Barbara,
I sent out about 80-85 letters last week to Chumney's who live in
Tennessee and Virginia and asked them to tell me who their relatives are.
Jeff was one of the people who responded to my letter.
He is VERY EAGER to do genealogy on his family history but like
alot of people, he doesn't know how to do research other than what he has
been told from within the family. I wrote him and told him how to use the
US census to trace family relatives VERY EASY back to 1850. I told him
that the Chumney soundx code is C500 and by getting the soundx info for
Chumney that this will tell him the EXACT line where a surname appears
on the US Census. Since there are only several Chumney's in the
1860/1870 VA census, if Jeff can use the US census to trace his family
back to 1870, I can tie things together from there. I hope that he
does this.
His example is one of the reasons why I believe that it would be
a good project to get the Chumney/Chumley/Chumbley US Census data so
that we can post it to my Website from various (at least the key states)
in the US Census from 1880-1920. Then, when we get a new inquiry on this
newsgroup, we can help them to determine where they "fit in".
Jeff, if you have any further questions on how to research your
family history, just let us know.
Eddie Chumney
Hi all!
I have received the following message. I told Jeff all about the List and how
to subscribed and suggested he check out Eddie Chumney's web page. I'm afraid
I can't help him with his query. Barbara Meger
