James Wesley Certain / Sartain b 1815 of Dekalb Co, TN
I am looking for information on James Wesley Certain/Sartain/Sartin b. 1815 Virginia (possibly Mecklenburg Co) d. ca 1888 Dekalb Co, TN m. 1838 Dekalb Co, TN Mary A. Isham/Isom/Ison b.1819 White Co, TN d. aft 1880 Dekalb Co, TN.
James Wesley Certain and Mary A. Isham had the following children in Dekalb Co, TN: Elizabeth (m. James Madison "Matt" Anderson), Thomas, Martha J. Sarah A. (m. James D. Hays), Mary Eliza (m. George Johnson), Margaret, Edward F., James M. (m. Delia F. Medlin), and Nancy A.
James Wesley Certain's close relative, Asa Certain b. 1791 d. 29 Dec 1861 Dekalb Co, TN m1. 5 Jun 1814 Mecklenburg Co, VA Susannah Holmes m2. 17 May 1827 Dekalb Co, TN Rebecca Hooper also had many descendants in Dekalb Co, TN.
I have seen research (that I have been unable to independently verify) linking Asa and James Wesley Certain of Dekalb Co, TN to the family of Job/Jobb Sartain b. abt 1763 St. Mark's Parish, Spottsylvania, VA d. 1835 White Co, TN m1. 29 Oct 1788 Rebecca Kelley d. 1805? Warren Co, NC? m2. aft. 1805? Warren Co, NC? Mary.This Job Sartain was reportedly the son of Job Sartain and Margaret and the grandson of John Sartain and Anna (Adkins).
Job Sartain and Nancy Kelley were reportedly the parents of both Asa Ceratin (of Dekalb Co, TN) and Kelley Sartain (m. Nancy Bashears).Other possible children include Charles Sartain, Jacob Sartain, John M. Sartain (m. Susannah), and Sally Sartain (m. Martin Newman).
1.I am trying to determine the accuracy of the above information on Job Sartain, his two wives (Nancy Kelley and Mary), his offspring, and his lineage back to John and Anna Adkins Sartain.
2.I am trying to determine if James Wesley Certain (b. 1815) was the son of A) Asa Certain and his first wife Susannah Holmes (M. 1814), B) Job Sartain and his first wife Nancy Kelley (if she did not actually perish in 1805), or C) Job Sartain and his second wife Mary (m. aft 1805?).
3.I'd love to have any information on James Wesley Certain's descendants (I am a descendant of daughter Elizabeth and James Madison "Matt" Anderson) or information on those of his Dekalb Co, TN relative, Asa Certain.
(Please email me directly)
Thanks!
