Thomas and Priscilla Hearne

Hearne provides this information on page 562, "Thomas, born May 4, 1809, married Priscilla Ballard; children, Sarah, William, Emily, Elizabeth, Jane, Narcissa, Malissia and Dink. He was a Methodist Protestant preacher; moved to Jackson Parish, La., 1866; died 1879. "

The family is easy to find in 1850 and 1860, but become a little less certain in 1870 and 1880.

The above family is not found anywhere else in 1870, the following seems to be the best candidate. The initials of the children match up , but the ages are as much as 4 years off. The birth order holds. This family below is not found in Atlanta in 1860, so I conclude it is our Priscilla.

Golemans /Goldmans in Edgefield South Carolina

Yesterday, I received a most interesting letter from a Jamie Goldman. Here are some excerpts:

"Jerusha Hearne was my Great Great Grandmother. (Page 604, 610, 611) She was the daughter of Drewry Hearne & Keren H Bledsoe. She was married to John M Goleman/Goldman, (in some records and on the tombstones it is spelled Goleman.) Jerusha & John's son Arthur L Goleman, married to Carrie Polatty, had a son named John Curtis Goldman, who married Flora Marie Pitts, who had 13 children...one of whom is my father, Joseph E Goldman Sr.

"There are Goleman's and Goldman's in this line....John M was GOLEMAN, his son Arthur L GOLEMAN, his son Ransom GOLEMAN, & Ransoms brother & my Grandfather John Curtis GOLDMAN. Some of Arthur's children spelled it GOLEMAN and others GOLDMAN. We have not determined why the spelling was changed, but do know that at some point it was.

"I have photos of Jerusha's tombstone, which is located in Saluda SC at Good Hope Baptist Church Cemetery. Also buried there is her daughter Florence Goleman & her husband who was JO McDowell, & their daughter Janie 'Ola' McDowell & her husband who was Caleb Sidney Mitchell. Some of their children are buried there as well. I have photos of these stones also, as well as Arthur L Goleman & Carrie Polatty Goleman's, & others.

**Please note that Jerusha's tombstone says: 'Jerusha Hearne, wife of John M Goleman Born July 16, 1824 Died Feb 28, 1904'**"

It is interesting to note in the Census that the names do seem to change from Goleman to Goldman.

Burchetts in Kentucky

The Burchetts in Kentucky tie into the Hearn(e)s through Susannah Hearne (1777), daughter of John W and Annie Chesney Hearne of Walkers Creek in what is now Bland County, Virginia.

James is the son of Susannah Hearne and Benjamin Burchett.

Heron and Hearon in Blount, Tennessee

There are no Hearnes in Blount Tennessee. But there are a lot of Herons in 1880 and the same families seem to be Hearons in 1900. The name Hearne has always had many derivative spellings. I've always thought it to be something about the way people tried to pronounce the "e" on the end of the name made it sound enough like an extra syllable. Something about Tennessee seems to have given a new angle on the Hearn name.

The 1880 Tennessee Blount 8-Dist page 159 has James (1842) and Margaret (1846) Heron. They are next door to Jeremiah (1844) and Docia (1854) Heron. Each family has a Rachel. That seems telling.

The LDS new.familysearch.org suggests the Whitehead spouse of Jeremiah Hearn, son of John W Hearn and Annie Chesney, was Rachael. It also lists her children as named Hearon.

The same James and Jerry are there in 1870, in District 8 (Maryville) page 154, also next to Tom (1840) and Mariah (1840) . Surprise! Tom has a Rachel, too! And they're living next to Sam Whitehead (1840) and Tom Whitehead (1830). Sam has a Rachel! Tom has a Rachel! They live next door to Tom Whitehead (1810).

In 1900, James and Jerry and Tom are named Hearon. Tennessee, Blount, 3-Dist, page 101-102.

Looking for leads on these, and specific information that ties these Hearons to Rachel Whitehead and that she is the Whitehead who married our Jeremiah Hearne. Although the circumstantial information seems pretty strong.

Henry Hearne Lockhart and wife Sarah Richardson

I found this elusive family in Kentucky, which is where I would have expected them if I'd read carefully. Hearne, pg 715, say he was born in Ireland in 1800. Immigrated to New York with family in 1807. Moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 1819 and lived there a few years and then moved to Lexington, Kentucky where he was actively engaged in farming and dealing in fine stock for over thirty years.
