Tandy David Witcher from Smith/Jackson Co.,TN
I am attempting to locate what happened to g-g-ggrandfather's children after he died in 1866.
Here is what I know:
Tandy David Witcher, b: abt. 1820 was the son of Booker Witcher, born abt. 1771, Pittsylvania, Virginia.
Tandy David Witcher married Pheobe Ray in 1846.
Pheobe died during the Civil War, about 1864.
Pheobe Ray, who may have been RHEBA Ray. I believe that she was born around 1822 in Jackson or Smith Co., Tn. There were Ray families in the early census of both counties.
Per oral history,from my grandmother 1966, when Tandy David, her grandfather, return from the war, he found that Pheobe had died and his children were with family members. My grandmother did not know who! Tandy was killed after the war, in 1866.
Does any Witcher family have history of any family taking care of a niece,nephew, cousin or grandchild with the last name Witcher around 1866?
Here are Pheobe and Tandy's children:
James Witcher
Jane Witcher
Lacy Witcher
Martha "Patsy" Witcher
Tabitha Witcher born 1847
Alia Witcher born 1849
Tandy B. Witcher born 1856
Tandy B. Witcher married Patsy(Martha?) A. Hix
had 12 plus children including my grandmother, Curlie Witcher.
Thank you Ron Swezea
