| Notes |
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.
