JOHN LEDFORD MONROE NEIGHBORS,II

(summerized from various sources by Reba Neighbors)

John Ledford Monroe Neighbor II spaned half a continent on his
way here from Lower Duncan Creek Community of Newberry Dist, South
Carolina where he was born16 July 1831.
Very young when his father died, John, Jr. moved with his
mother Lucy and her second husband James Leak to Mississippi, Georgia,
Alabama, and finally to Hardin County, Tennessee.
( in 1840, he is listed as "Ledford" in the home of James Leake
and Lucy Leake in Pontotoc County, Mississippi.
( Lucy and James Leak had more children, so someplace out there
we have a bunch of "half" ancestors- - - children of Lucy that have never
been researched)
In 1851, John married in Pontotoc County, Mississippi to a
Frances Bluford or Beauford Brown in the home of her father William
Brown.
William Brown was Irish, and one census record says he was born
in Ireland; one says in South Carolina. ("County Tyree" Ireland; or Tyree
County North Carolina?)
The young Neighbors couple, John and Frances, soon moved to
Hardin County, Tennessee, built a large home with seven fireplaces which
still stand proudly today. ( When this was written, it was true. Now I
have learned that the house has been abandoned and the furnishing taken
out. It may be in ruin today. )
That home was used for a movie or documentary about Natchez
Trace.. as the home of a Governor. Miles and miles of hand stacked stone
fence- - - laid by slaves without a bit of cement- - lead up to the house
from the little town of Lutz in Wayne County, Tennessee.
John and Francis had nine children: Martha E; George Monroe born
1854 in Pontotoc County, Mississippi; Henry Millard (grandfather of the
Neighbors in the Prague area), William Marcus; Lucy C married 1923 James
Maddox and lived in Shawnee; Nancy E., Mary Francis born in Tennessee
1865 married James Howard Curtis, married twice William Johnson: James F.
died in infancy and Josie Levin born 1871 married Jefferson Davis Hall. (
I believe that's the family that lives in California)
John Ledford Monroe Nabours Jr. was a miller at Shiloh during
the Civil War. He moved his family to Oklahoma and is buried in Brown
Cemetary, about 7 miles west of Tecumesh, Oklahoma.
Francis Brown Neighbors died 1 October of T.B. Just three or
four months later - - 2 January 1889 - - John Ledford Monroe Neighbors
married Georgia Ann Davis. She moved with him to Tecumseh in 1900 and
together they had four or five more children, including the last two who
were twins- - born when he was 65 years old!
Then John himself died 13 February 1904, and is buried in
Pottowatomie County, Oklahoma in Brown Cemetary on Highway 9 beside
Georgia who died 1 January 1926.

John married Francais Beuford Brown on 11 Dec 1851 in Pontotoc County, Mississippi. Francais was born on 20 Dec 1833 in Newberry County, South Carolina; died on 01 Oct 1888 in Hardin County, Tennessee; was buried in Wesley Chapel, Nixon, Hardin County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Frances Brown is buried in Nixon, Tennessee at Wesley Chapel, stone. (
Just a few miles north of Pickwick Dam on the road leading from Crump
Tennessee ) Daughter of William Brown, said to be Irish ( born there ? )
or from Tyrell County North Carolina? Not sure of relationship to other
Browns in our Neighbors line, but they must be. Could be clue to lead us
to more info.

Died:
Hers Was The First Stone In The Cemetery; Died Of Tb

Notes:

James Hiram Stricklin and his wife Nancy were the first to be
buried in the Lutts Cemetery, which was part of their farm. They also
have a baby buried their. He was a County Commissioner for 20 years, and
at one time, a Justice of the Peace. Both were members of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. James Hiram was thought to have avoided conscription
during the Civil War by hiding out.

James married Nancy Caroline Daniels on 05 Jul 1848. Nancy was born in in Lutts, Tennessee; died on 15 Feb 1915 in Lutts, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He is buried in Old Lower Duncan Creek Cemetery near Whitmire
South, Carolina, He married before 1831 (Spelling was changed many ways,
but he used this one.)
John Neighbours Sr. was a slave trader and when he received a
new shipment of Negroes, one poisoned him, or in some manner, killed him,
according to descendants now living in Oklahoma.

Died:
# Abt 1831

# Died In 1832 Or 1833

John married Lucy Beuford Wright in Pre 1820-30 In 96Th District , South Carolina. Lucy (daughter of William Wright and Lucy Tucker) was born on 21 Mar 1811 in Newberry County, South Carolina; died in in Adamsville, Hardin County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Lucy Beuford Wright Neighbours married after her husband died
to James Leak of South Carolina. She moved to Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee. She had four more children after she married
James Leak in 1832. She maybe buried in Adamsville, Tennessee, but more
proof is needed. James Leak is buried in unmarked grave in Old Lower
Duncan Creek Cemetary. ( See Pontotoc County Census ...... I believe 1840
to 1850 )

Notes:

After Mary Ann died Thomas married a second time to Rebecca
"Becky" Tidwell, She was born about 1850 in Alabama.

Thomas married Mary Ann Strain in 1825. Mary (daughter of J.A. Strain and C. Adams) was born in 1807; died in 1880 in Wayne County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
