Genealogical Pub. Co

An alphabetical list of 2,400 Tennessee pensioners, it was compiled from published  government Pension Lists of 1816, 1818, 1828, 1832, and the U.S. Census of 1840. Included are  name, age, service, residence, and the source of the data. Widows drawing on their husbands'  claims are also listed. Since the sources are so varied, having them in a list such as this is a great  convenience.

Genealogical Publishing Company

Based on the Invalid Lists of 1806 and the Pension Lists of 1818, 1832 and 1840, this book supplies--in addition to name, age, service, residence, and source of information--the date of the pension application; date and place of birth; service record; names of all family members cited in the pension statement; and place or places of migration to, from, or within Tennessee. The 1840 Pension List is especially interesting to researchers as it includes widows' applications. Widows were required to submit proof of marriage and children, and their applications, therefore, constitute a rich vein of genealogical source material. This volume is available on our Family Archive CD 7511.

Historical

The Southern States were settled by three great waves of emigration, -Cavalier, Scotch-Irish and Huguenot. - These types retain their characteristics to this day, perhaps, largely, because groups of relatives, friends or neighbors settled in one section and gave a dominant tinge in creed, and church, and custom. The sons and daughters of these families married, and creed and custom grew stronger from year to year. Thus the Scotch-Irish, a people of Scotch origin, though living in Ireland for many years before the American emigration, settled in certain parts of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and, what is now, East Tennessee, in great numbers and impressed their Presbyterian faith upon their posterity. In the chapters of this book examples will be given of each of these groups-Cavalier, Scotch-Irish and Huguenot. The early history of these well-known Southern families is here presented, being published, at least in collected form, for the first time. The compiler takes no credit for authorship, as genealogy is not a science of invention. The facts, however, are clearly stated, and in the case of each family each line may be brought down to the present day from the earliest settler in America. The Colonial, Revolutionary, War of 1812 and War Between the States record of each family is set forth succinctly. No space has been given to tradition, though many traditions in the families mentioned are interesting and doubtless could be followed up and proved. Many histories have been consulted and many family documents studied, only reliable records being used. Though the chief endeavor of these chapters is to show the Colonial or Revolutionary settler and his posterity, a brief line of his progenitors is given in some cases, as the origin of name and family is always interesting. Hundreds of histories, court records and family documents have been examined in the preparation of this volume, and the following family authorities have been consulted: Robert A. J. Armstrong, Mrs. Martha Turnley Armstrong, Mrs. Penelope J. Allen (who prepared the Deadrick and VanDyke data), Pearson Banning (who prepared the Banning data), Mrs. Virginia E. McNaught (who prepared the Gaines data), Mrs. Louise Sevier Giddings, Mrs. J. F. Alexander, S. G. Heiskell, Calvin M. McClung (who prepared the McGhee data), John A. Kelly, the late Parmenas Taylor Turnley, John Bell Brownlow (who prepared the Brownlow data), the late Oscar K. Lyle, and many others. This volume, Volume I, includes genealogies of the following families: Armstrong, Banning, Blount, Brownlow, Calhoun, Deaderick, Gaines, Howard, Key, Luttrell, Lyle, McAdoo, McGhee, McMillan, Phinizy, Polk, Sevier, Shields, Stone, Turnley, and VanDyke.

Notable Southern Families. Volume II

Begun in 1918 and not completed until 1932, Notable Southern Families has been until now the best known yet least accessible work on Southern genealogy ever published. Out of print for many years, we are delighted to reproduce the original six-volume set in individual paperback volumes priced substantially below the used-book price of each volume. Notable Southern Families is a collection of family histories touching upon many thousands of individuals of Cavalier, Scotch-Irish, and Huguenot stock, the one common denominator being the milieu of the South. In almost every instance family lines are brought down to the present day from the earliest settler in America, the lines convincingly developed after careful consideration of court records, histories, family bibles, and miscellaneous family documents. The Colonial, Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Civil War record of each family is set forth succinctly. Although the primary aim of the work is to show the Colonial or Revolutionary settler and his posterity, treatment is given, in some cases, to the progenitors of the original settler. Each genealogy is meticulously developed, giving all names in both collateral and direct lines of descent, dates and places of birth, marriage and death, places of residence, and all other particulars of genealogical significance. 
In the preparation of this work Miss Armstrong drew on the services of a large group of specialists, in some instances publishing their findings in their entirety and in the case of Volume V actually collaborating with Janie Preston Collup French (who incidentally contributed the entire contents of Volume VI). The net result is a product of enduring reference value, a work boasting so many families and names that it is, in effect, the spine of Southern genealogy. 
This volume includes genealogies of the families of Armstrong ("Trooper"), Cockrill, Duke, Elston, Lea, Park, Parkes, and Tunnell.
