Charles Noden George and Celia Smith of Carter, Blount and Monroe Co, TN and Cherokee and Graham Co, NC

I (Marty Grant) am a 4th Great Grandson of Charles Noden George and Celia Smith.

Note: The George family is fully documented in the author's book "George Family History" now available. Click link for details. On the current web pages I am only presenting the most interesting documentation. There is a great deal more available that is not included here. Most of the available source documentation is in the book mentioned above. There are also many acknowledgments to be made. The book contains them all. Some are listed here.

Charles Noden George was born 21 Nov 1791 in Sullivan Co, NC. His date of birth on his tombstone shows 1790, though multiple primary sources show it was actually 1791. His Family Bible (in possession of Charles Jefferson George of Midland, TX) shows his birth as Chas N. George born the year of our Lord A.D. 1791 November 1st. A Widows Pension record filed by his widow Celia Smith George in the 1870's also gives the same birth date for him. Here is the Bible record (from the C. J. George collection)

Charles Noden George is a proven son of James Jordan George and Elizabeth Pemberton. He was named as a son of James Jordan George in several deed records after James' death. This relationship is also proven by original family correspondence in possession of Charles Jefferson George of Midland, TX. In her widows Pension application, Celia Smith George also stated that Charles Noden George was a son of James Jordan George and Elizabeth Pemberton and quoted the bible record (listed above).

Charles Noden George was listed on public records mainly as "Charles N. George", though sometimes as "Noden George", and sometimes as "C. N. George", but seldom if ever as just "Charles George". He was named "Noden" after his paternal grandmother Elizabeth Noden, wife of James George. The "Charles" might have been in honor of Elizabeth's brother Charles Noden.

Noden George was probably at home with his parents for the 1800 and 1810 census in Sullivan Co, TN, but unfortunately, these two census are lost for this county.

Charles N. George served during the War of 1812. He enlisted as a Private in Captain King's Company from Sullivan Co, TN on 6 Jan 1814. He served through 18 May 1814. See Celia's Widow pension application (1878, 1879) for more information on his service. Also see his C. N. George' s statements of 1850 and 1855.

Charles N. George served as Quartermaster (in charge of supplies) during the War. Fifty or more receipts, including one signed by Andrew Jackson are in C. J. George's collection, almost all of which have Charles N. George's name on them as well. They are dated from May 2nd through July 15th, 1814, and were from Fort Strother. They contain the signatures of numerous officers and enlisted men. (Original receipts in C. J. George collection).

On 8 Feb 1816, Charles N. George married Celia Smith of Carter Co, TN, in Carter County. They were married by Julius Dugger, Esquire (Celia's Uncle) at the home of Jacob Smith (her father). Celia was a child of Jacob Smith and Mary Dugger.

On 18 Nov 1818 Charles N. George purchased 75 acres in Carter Co, TN, on Stoney Creek, adjoining James Phillips and Thomas Millard. The land was sold by Sheriff Andrew Taylor, Sheriff of Carter County. (Carter Co, TN Deed Book C page 245).

I have not done a thorough search for this family in Carter County, Tennessee records. That still needs to be done.

Charles N. George was probably listed on the 1820 census in Carter Co, TN, but unfortunately, this census was lost for all of the eastern TN counties.

On 7 Oct 1822 Jacob Smith (Celia's father) made his Will in Carter Co, TN. Among his heirs he named his daughter "Selah George".

In 1824 (no exact date, but before February), Charles N. George sold his 75 acres of Stoney Creek land to his brother-in-law Peter Hunt, for $135. Witnesses were John Keys, Benjamin Brewer and W. B. Carter. It was proven in February 1824 Court. (Carter Co, TN Deed Book C page 602).

*** Charles N. George's father James Jordan George died on 14 Apr 1824 in Sullivan Co, TN. Charles N. George and the other heirs made several deeds between them dividing up his property. ***

Charles N. George and family moved between 1827 and 1830 from Carter County, to Blount Co, TN.

Charles N. George was listed on the 1830 census in Blount County, TN. A Samuel George, Alexander George and Edward George were also listed in Blount, but I don't believe they are related. The ages for Charles' daughters (proven by family bible) do not align well with this census record.

For the 1840 census, Charles N. George was still in Blount Co, TN. Alexander, Barbara, and Edward George were also listed there, again, I think they are unrelated.

Charles N. George and family left Blount Co, TN after 1842, for neighboring Monroe Co, TN.

On 28 Sep 1848, General John R. Delaney of Holston Valley, TN (Sullivan County) wrote a letter to his friend and cousin Charles N. George (addressed to Cittico P. O., Monroe Co, TN) updating him on family back home. He mentions "Eliza and C. B. Carwood" and two of their children, Elizabeth who had married John Pile and a son Ezekiel P. Carwood then living in Blountville, TN. He also mentioned Ezekiel Pemberton (C. N. George's Uncle). He also mentions the estate sale of which Charles was an heir, but didn't say to whom he was referring, though I'm sure it was Thomas Pemberton, Charles' Uncle, who had recently died, unmarried, owning much property. Also of great interest is Delaney's comment that it will be difficult to locate all the heirs, as they were in numerous states then, including Illinois and Missouri mentioned specifically. He said Samuel McConkey was in Illinois as was Stanton Pemberton's children. He mentioned Thomas Pemberton and wife of Green River, KY having been dead a long time, and not knowing where their heirs were. Other family members are mentioned as well. (Per original letter from the C. J. George collection)

They were listed in Monroe Co, TN for the 1850 census. They were living in the Ball Play community.

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

On 4 Feb 1850, Charles N. George sold land in Sullivan Co, TN to his Uncle Ezekiel Pemberton. I don't have the details. (Sullivan Co, TN Deed Book 19 page 291)

On 25 Oct 1850, Charles N. George wrote a letter asking for any Bounty Land that he was due for his War of 1812 service. It was a short letter, and is filed in his Pension records:

On 16 Nov 1857, Charles N. George sold more of his Sullivan Co, TN land, this time to William G. Odell (his nephew). (Sullivan Co, TN Deed Book 19 page 291)

On 18 Jan 1858, Charles N. George (C. N. George) purchased 112 acres on Tulula Creek in Cherokee Co, NC (now Graham Co, NC). He bought the land from J. P. Colvard and wife Ruth Colvard, the land formerly belonging to Joseph Sherrill, deceased. Witnesses were J. P. Colvard and B. B. Colvard. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 11 page 718).

The above deed signified the move from Monroe Co, TN to Cherokee (now Graham) Co, NC.

On 12 Oct 1859, General John R. Delaney of Holston Valley, TN (Sullivan County), wrote a letter to his friend and cousin Charles N. George (addressed to Valley Town Post Office, Cherokee Co, NC). He told of his own family, as well as news of the Pemberton family, including the recent death of his (Charles') Aunt Nancy Pemberton King, as well as others. (Per original letter in C. J. George collection)

Charles N. George and wife were listed on the 1860 census in Cherokee Co, NC. This census taker was thoughtful, and included everyone's county of birth, and not just the state as was required.

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

C. N. George was also listed on the 1860 agriculture census. He had 35 cultivated acres, and the following statistics: Stock = 12, Hogs = 30, Wheat = 0, Corn = 500, Tobacco = 0, Wool = 0, Potato = 15, Butter = 100, Flax = 0, and Molasses = 20. I'm not sure what each unit of measurement was.

The Civil War brought the George men into action for the Confederate cause. This action extended to Charles N. George as well, in spite of his advanced age. On 1 Jun 1861 he enlisted in Company D, 25th Regiment, North Carolina Troops as a Sergeant. He was reported as 70 years old, born in Sullivan Co, TN, and a resident of Cherokee Co, NC. He was reduced to Private on 15 Sep 1861, and he was discharged on 30 Apr 1862 because of disability.

Apparently, after he returned home, Charles N. George was attacked and robbed by bushwhackers, and forced to flee his home. Bushwhackers were, generally, the worst type of people, and the war gave them (or so they believed) and excuse to behave very badly, including robbery, assault and murder.

On 16 Apr 1868, Charles L. White of Richview, IL (Washington County) wrote his grandparents, Charles N and Celia George a letter, telling news of his family. He mentioned "cousin William Love" who had gone to Missouri and had not been heard from, and he mentioned "Daniel Love's second wife Melinda Pate" who went to Texas with some of his folks, apparently indicating that Daniel was dead. (Per original letter in C. J. George collection)

He died on 12 May 1869 and was buried on his property. A tombstone was erected (I don't know how much later), that contained his birth and death dates, though his birth year was wrong.

A Deed dated 20 Oct 1869 (perhaps this is wrong) shows James H. Wiggins and wife Polly Elvira Wiggins selling land to C. N. George on Tulula Creek, being 50 acres. Witness was Jefferson George. This was probably an earlier deed, but wasn't filed until after Charles N. George's death. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 12 page 416).

On 3 Dec 1869 C. N. George received a land grant for 100 acres on Tulula Creek. He entered (claimed) the land on 12 Mar 1853, and it apparently took 16 years to get approved! Unfortunately, he didn't live to see this land granted to him. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 148)

For the 1870 census, Celia Smith George was residing with her son Jefferson George in Macon Co, NC, not very far from where they had lived on Tulula Creek (which is very close the Macon, Swain, Graham and Cherokee County lines).

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

In 1870, Celia Smith George, and the heirs of Charles N. George and of their son Washington George, agreed to equally divide the land. Several deeds were made among them giving each heir a portion of the land.

On 30 Mar 1870 an agreement was made among the heirs of Washington George, deceased, and C. N. George, deceased, to equally divide all their property amongst them. It was signed by Celia George (widow of Charles N. George), and Jefferson George, John Harrison and wife Elizabeth Harrison, Payton Colvard and wife Louisa Colvard, Charles L. White, Rachel B. George, (guardian of James George, Charles George, Nancy E. George an Jefferson George, infant heirs of Lafayette George, deceased). Witnesses to the deed were James M. Phillips and Reuben Carver. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 100).

On 1 Aug 1870 Celia George, of Macon Co, NC, sold her interest in the 51 acres formerly belonging to Washington George, to her son Jefferson George for $100. Witness was Joseph T. Young (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 197).

On 1 Aug 1870, Celia George, Jefferson George, R. B. George (Rachel), all of Cherokee Co, NC, and John Harrison and wife Elizabeth of Monroe Co, TN, and C. L. White of Washington Co, IL sold 45 acres of their inherited land to P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa (George) Colvard. This was signed by each of them, except for C. L. White, who presumably was home in Illinois, his signature was by Jefferson George, as his agent. "M. E. George" also signed, this was Jefferson's wife. Joseph T. Young was the witness. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 198)

Also on 1 Aug 1870, Celia George, Jefferson George, P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa, all of Cherokee Co, NC; and C. L. White of Washington Co, IL; sold land (acreage?) to John Harrison and wife Elizabeth of Monroe Co, TN. Rachel wasn't named, but she signed the deed with the rest. "M. E. George" (Jefferson's wife) also signed. Joseph T. Young was witness. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 202)

Again on 1 Aug 1870, some of the land was divided. Jefferson George, R. B. George (Rachel), P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa, of Cherokee Co, NC, and John Harrison and wife Elizabeth of Monroe Co, TN and C. L. White of Washington Co, IL sold 51 acres to Celia George for $400. Joseph T. Young was the witness. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 205)

Again on 1 Aug 1870, R. B. George (Rachel), Celia George, P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa Colvard of Cherokee Co, NC; John Harrison and wife Elizabeth of Monroe Co, TN and C. L. White of Washington Co, IL sold Jefferson George 51 acres. Joseph T. Young was the witness. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 209).

Again on 1 Aug 1870 Celia George, Jefferson George, P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa Colvard, of Cherokee Co, NC, and John Harrison and wife Elizabeth of Monroe Co, TN and C. L. White of Washington Co, IL sold 79 acres to Rachel B. George. Witness was Joseph T. Young. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 212).

Again on 1 Aug 1870 R. B. George (Rachel), Celia George, Jefferson George, P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa of Cherokee Co, NC; sold 153 acres to C. L. White of Washington Co, IL for $400. Joseph T. Young was the witness. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 216).

Celia Smith George moved with her son Jefferson from Macon Co, NC to Cherokee Co, NC in the 1870's.

In 1878 Celia Smith George applied for a widows pension based on her late husbands War of 1812 service. Here are a few documents from the file (there were many pages, but these were the most interesting):

On 28 Jan 1879 General John R. Delaney, an old friend of the George's, made a statement for her widows pension:

Celia was again listed with son Jefferson on the 1880 census in Cherokee Co, NC.

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

Celia Smith George died in 1885 in Cherokee Co, NC. She is buried at the Peachtree Cemetery.

Almost 100 hundred years after the death of Charles N. George, Nancy Lail Love and her sister Ruth Lail Forsyth worked to properly mark and fence in his lone grave in Graham Co, NC. Here is the text of the newspaper article from The Andrews Journal, Andrews, North Carolina, dated Thursday, March 4, 1965. This was sent to me many years ago by Nancy Lail Love:

The above article only contains one mistake, and that is having Charles N. George born in 1790. His tombstone also shows this as his birth year, but he was actually born in 1791.

I visited Charles Noden George's grave in the late 1980's. It is no longer an open field, but it is now in the woods, and the fence has fallen down, and the trees and underbrush are seriously encroaching on the grave. He has a tall tombstone, which was probably the one placed in 1965, and a small one that is leaning against the tall one, which may be the original from his burial in 1869. He also has a footstone with his Masonic information on it, also placed in 1965, I believe. I have photo's of the graves, that I will attempt to scan for inclusion here on the web page.

Children

Charles Noden George and Celia Smith had eight children, proven by their family bible, and also by the land records in 1870 dividing the estate of Charles N. George and son Washington George.

Here is a transcript of the Charles N. George family bible pages pertaining to their family. The originals are in the possession of Charles Jefferson (Jeff) George of Midland, TX. These were loose pages in the family bible (dated 1853), and Jeff believes they were torn from an older family bible, which was probably the case. The same data is repeated on yet another page, in slightly different syntax, but all the names and dates agree with this entry, so I won't give both here.

Mary George was born 3 Dec 1816 probably in Carter Co, TN. Her name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Mary "died in young womanhood". She was apparently home with her parents for the 1830 census, but not with them in 1840, so I suspect she died in the early 1830's. They family was in Blount Co, TN then, so she died there. She was not named in the 1870 records dividing the estate of her father and her brother Washington George.

Elizabeth George was born 11 Nov 1818 probably in Carter Co, TN. Her name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Elizabeth was apparently home with her parents for the 1830 and 1840 census in Blount Co, TN. She was still at home with them for the 1850 census in Monroe Co, TN.

On 29 Mar 1851 John H. Harrison obtained a marriage bond in Monroe Co, TN to marry Elizabeth George. (John had been previously married to Mary Dills on 29 Sep 1839 in Blount Co, TN. Mary died ca 1849/50 in Monroe Co, TN).

John and Elizabeth remained in Monroe Co, TN, even after all of her family moved to Cherokee (now Graham) Co, NC. John and Elizabeth were listed on the 1860 census in Monroe Co, TN.

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

John and Elizabeth are probably listed on the 1870 census in Monroe Co, TN, but I haven't checked yet.

In 1870, the heirs of Charles N. George (Elizabeth's father) and Washington George (her brother) agreed to divide their property equally amongst them. John and Elizabeth Harrison "of Monroe Co, TN" were named on most of these records (outlined earlier). On most of the deeds they were grantors, however, John and Elizabeth received their share in one of the deeds, and sold the same just a month or two later to brother Jefferson George.

On 1 Aug 1870, Celia George, Jefferson George, P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa, all of Cherokee Co, NC; and C. L. White of Washington Co, IL; sold land (acreage?) to John Harrison and wife Elizabeth of Monroe Co, TN. Rachel wasn't named, but she signed the deed with the rest. "M. E. George" (Jefferson's wife) also signed. Joseph T. Young was witness. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 202)

On 31 Oct 1870 John Harrison and wife Elizabeth Harrison of Monroe Co, TN, sold 69 acres to Jefferson George of Macon Co, NC. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 222)

John and Elizabeth are listed on the 1880 census in Monroe Co, TN. I don't have this typed up yet though.

I don't know when John and Elizabeth died, but it was sometime after 1880. I haven't checked the 1900 census yet to see if they were still alive then.

Matilda George was born 12 Oct 1820 probably in Carter Co, TN. Her name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Matilda was apparently home with her parents for the 1830 and 1840 census in Blount Co, TN.

Sometime in the 1840's, either in Blount Co, TN or Monroe Co, TN, Matilda married a Mr. White. We haven't yet determined what his name was. Jeff George believes his name might be "Andrew". That is probably correct.

They moved to Illinois during the 1840's, and apparently settled in Washington County.

On 11 Jan 184- (I think it says 1846, but not sure), Daniel Love of Washington Co, IL wrote a letter to his "Father and Mother", addressed to Charles N. George, Citico, Monroe Co, TN. In the letter he mentions that "Andrew White and family was well not long since". Since Daniel Love mentioned them in his letter to Charles N. George, I suspect that is strong evidence that Andrew White was the "Mr. White" married to Matilda George. (From original letter in C. J. George collection)

I don't know much else about Matilda, except that she apparently died before 1870. In the estate division of her father and her brother Washington George, she was not named, but her son Charles L. White was named as heir. Apparently he was only child, as no others were named from this part of the family. Charles L. White was listed (in 1870) as a resident of Richview, Washington County, Illinois.

Frances Ann George was born 6 Jul 1824 probably in Carter Co, TN. Her name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Frances Ann was apparently home with her parents for the 1830 and 1840 census in Blount Co, TN.

On 10 Feb 1842 Daniel Love obtained a marriage bond in Blount Co, TN to marry Frances George.

They moved to Washington Co, IL in the 1840's. I once found a record of a Daniel Love in Missouri, but I was never sure if it was the same family. Recent information shared by Jeff George makes me believe it is the same family. More research is needed though.

On 11 Jan 184- (I think it says 1846, but not sure), Daniel Love of Washington Co, IL wrote a letter to his "Father and Mother", addressed to Charles N. George, Citico, Monroe Co, TN. In the letter he mentions that "Andrew White and family was well not long since" and other sundry events were reported. He also reports how his (Daniel's) father went to Missouri and liked what he found there, and decided to move. He also mentions that he would bring "William" to see them at some point if he was able. I'm fairly sure this was their son William Love that he was referring to. (Original Letter in the C. J. George collection)

Neither Frances nor Daniel Love were named in the 1870 records dividing the estate of Charles N. George and son Washington George. This may indicate that they had both died with no children, or that the family had lost contact with them and didn't know where they were (seems unlikely though).

Washington George was born 2 Oct 1827 in Carter Co, TN. His name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Washington was apparently home with his parents for the 1830 and 1840 census in Blount Co, TN. He was still at home with them for the 1850 census in Monroe Co, TN.

On 13 Apr 1854 Gideon F. Morris of Cherokee Co, NC sold 225 acres to Washington George of Monroe Co, TN. Land was described between the Headwaters of George Fork of Cheoah River and Nantahala River. Witnesses were J. P. Colvard and N. F. Cooper. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 11 page 34).

On 18 Mar 1858, Washington and his brother Lafayette George jointly purchased 102 acres on Tulula Creek from David J. McDaniel and wife Sarah P. McDaniel. Witnesses were Joseph J. Colvard, James Colvard and William C. McDaniel. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 9 page 220).

Washington George was listed on the 1860 census in Cherokee Co, NC just two houses from his brother Lafayette.

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

Washington was also listed on the 1860 Agriculture census. He had 125 acres of cultivated land, and the following statistics: Stock = 33, Hogs = 55, Wheat = 50, Corn = 800, Tobacco = 0, Wool = 100, Potato = 20, Butter = 200, Flax = 0, Molasses = 40.

For the Civil War, Washington joined his brother Lafayette when they joined Company H, 69th Regiment North Carolina Troops on 23 Jul 1862. I have no further record of Washington, and strongly suspect that he died during the war. He was dead before 1870, for then his land was divided among his brothers and sisters. I haven't seen his Civil War record yet, so it may contain additional information.

Lafayette George was born 17 Feb 1830 in Blount Co, TN. His name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Lafayette was apparently home with his parents for the 1830 and 1840 census in Blount Co, TN. He was still at home with them for the 1850 census in Monroe Co, TN. He married Rachel B. Hensley in 1851.

Louisa George was born 2 Nov 1832 in Blount Co, TN. Her name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Louisa was apparently home with her parents for the 1840 census in Blount Co, TN.

On 16 Aug 1849 William Harrison obtained a marriage bond in Monroe Co, TN to marry Louisa George. William was a nephew of John Harrison who married Louisa's sister Elizabeth George.

I did not find William and Louisa on the 1850 census, though I suspect they were in Monroe (or Blount) Co, TN, and I just missed them.

William Harrison died sometime prior to ca 1868 (perhaps in the Civil War?). After his death, Louisa moved with their children to the Tulula Creek area of Cherokee (now Graham) Co, NC near her parents.

Once in Cherokee Co, NC, Louisa George Harrison married Payton S. Colvard late in 1867 or early in 1868.

They were listed on the 1870 census in Cherokee Co, NC next to Lafayette George's widow Rachel and their children.

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

In 1870, the heirs of Charles N. George (Elizabeth's father) and Washington George (her brother) agreed to divide their property equally amongst them. Payton and Louisa Colvard were named on most of these records (outlined earlier). On most of the deeds they were grantors, however, in one deed they were the grantees, receiving 45 acres on Tulula Creek from the other heirs (all these deeds were listed above in the main section).

On 20 Apr 1870, P. S. Colvard and wife Louisa Colvard sold their interest in the lands of Washington George, deceased to Rachel B. George (widow of Lafayette). I'm not sure if this was the 45 acres they received, or something else. (Cherokee Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 455).

(Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age)

Payton S. Colvard died on 31 Mar 1901 in Graham Co, NC. Louisa on 26 Mar 1915. They are buried at the Old Mother Cemetery (Cheoah Church) in Robbinsville, Graham Co, NC. I've been to their graves.

Jefferson George was born 30 Nov 1836 in Blount Co, TN. His name and birth date are recorded in the Charles N. George Family Bible.

Jefferson was apparently home with his parents for the 1840 census in Blount Co, TN. He was still at home with them for the 1850 census in Monroe Co, TN. He married Mary Elizabeth Young in 1865.
