<Now for an interesting
story about the search for Ila Mae!>
I had spent almost 20 years
looking through Kentucky and Illinois Census books trying to find my grandmother and her
ancestors. Pulling one of the "beginner" boners, I never looked at
Tennessee in the 1900 Census. If I had, I would have found her.
I would like to tell you a little about my search and it may provide clues for you with
your brick walls! I knew her maiden name was Griswell as that was my father's middle
name and the one thing I had heard in the family stories that she gave him her maiden
name.
I had some pictures of her
and two other "girls" taken about 1880/1900 and one was from Fulton, KY and the
other two from Paragould, AR. In 2000 we made a side trip to Paragould and visited
the library where they not only had a great "genealogy" room, but a fantastic
volunteer - Bettye Busey. She helped me find the Gilbert family in the 1920 Census
and there was my grandmother, with my father, living with her aunt. She was listed
as a widow. I now had the name of her aunt, Anne M. Gilbert, and knew she had to
have been a Griswell also. It also stated that Anne M. was born in TN.
I then began a search for
any Anne M. Griswell Gilbert. Knowing that she was born before 1860, I looked at the
Griswells in the Henderson Co., TN 1860 Census and found an M.A., female, age 9 and her
sibling brother, Wm. H., age 1 - her parents were Thomas J. Griswell and Elizabeth.
By 1870, there was no Thomas J. Griswell in the TN Census, so I knew
that Anne M. married a Gilbert so I tried to trace her in the 1870 and 1880 Census hoping
to find more about the Griswell family. I found a Margaret A. Gilbert
about the right age in Obion Co., TN with a B. Gilbert. That led me to the Obion
County GenWeb page and to Dennis M. who did lookups for people. What a break!
I also found P. B. Gilbert and wife Annie M. in the 1880 Census in Hickman
Co., KY with their children, especially Laury and Clara, the two girls in the picture with
my grandmother.
Dennis undertook the search
and he not only found the marriage of my grandparents, he also found my
grandmother's birth date with the name of her parents, Joan E. Gay and William H.
Griswell!
I had also posted queries on the Henderson Co., TN GenWeb page and
got a response about Thomas J. Griswell, a prisoner of the Confederate, dying at
Andersonville, GA during the Civil War. I ordered his pension record in March of
2001 and received it in October 2001 - all 75 pages - with names, marriage date of Thomas
J. and Elizabeth Childers, Elizabeth's death in Weakley Co., TN, etc.
To make a long story short, thanks to some wonderful people, I had
finally broken one more brick wall and taken my grandmother back to her
great-grandparents.
One reason she was so hard to find is that her father, William H.,
had died by 1886. Her grandmother, Elizabeth C., died in 1871; her Gay grandparents
had died by 1880 and her mother was dead by 1903 along with a sister. I have not
been able to find her brother after they sold their house in Union City and will continue
to search for him.
