Richard Kirtley Hearne

Died 28 Nov 1824 in St. Francois, St. Francois, Missouri. He had lived in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, but apparently moved to St. Francois five month earlier.
Death Certificate

"Richard Kirtley, born Aug. 12, 1837, is a farmer and lives near Nashville, Barton Co., Mo.; has been married twice, and is now a widower with no children; is a member of the Disciples Church, a Democrat in politics; is very quiet and retiring in disposition and a most excellent man and citizen." (Hearne, pg. 449)

William Cannon Hearne and Zerilda Row Dillon Hearne

James Hearn sent me scans of pages from the original William Hearne ledger, a keepsake that has been handed down through the generations. On the pages, amidst the clerical and financial records, are family births, just as you might find in a family bible.

One particular gem is the family information of William Cannon Hearne and Zerilda Row Dillon Hearne, in Zerilda's own handwriting:

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.
