| Benjamin Easley. 1812 tax list, Franklin Co., TN. Franklin Co., TN., Deed Book J, p. 187, 9 October 1817, John Easley from Benjamin Easley. NOTE: I am not sure if these deeds were for this Benjamin Easley, or for the son of Richard S. Easley who lived in Caldwell Co., GA. c. 1812 in Clarke Co., AL. Tract Book, Blount Co., AL: Certificate 1028 - Benjamin Easley - July 8, 1819, E 1/2 of NW 1/4, Sec. 15, 80.62 acres Certificate 192 - Benjamin Easley - 8 July 1819, # 1/2 of SW 14, sec. 15, 80 acres. NOTE: The following entry, with the name Roderick Easley, seems that it should more probably belong to the line of descent of Warham and Sarah (Raibone) Barnes Easley: 14 S Township,Range 1E Certificate - Rhodwick Easley - 20 March 1857, School Lot 3, 11, 5, 6 80 acres each. 1830 census, Blount Co., AL. 1 m. under 5; 1 m. 5-10; 1 m. 10-15; 1 m. 15-20; 1 m. 40-50; 1 f. under 5, 1 f. 5-10; 1 f. 10-15; 1 f. 15-20; 1 f. 40-50. 1850 U.S. Census, Benton Co., AL, 18th District: #170: Easley, Benj., 69, NC, Farmer, $2000; Mary, 67, TN; J.W., 21, AL; Clarkson, Elizabeth, 34, AL; W.F.

Information received 20 October 1996 from Elaine Roosz, 424 Bob St., Hurst, TX 76053. The following analysis received from Elaine Roosz 6 April 1998: With the research that Ann Turk and I have done on these two brothers [Benjamin Easley and Warham Easley] we believe that their father is likely John Easley who is listed on the 1800 Census for Pendleton District South Carolina. The Easleys, Murphrees, and Bynums have been closely connected for almost 100 years. They migrated together, lived near each other, and there many instances of marriages connecting these three families. 1800 U.S. Census Pendleton District SC 517. Mary Murphree 700. John Easley 41101-23010-00 702. Isaac Bynum 719. William Binum 720. Jesse Bynum 556. Solomon Murphree 566. Daniel Murphree 567. Aaron Murphree Many Bynum researchers believe that 702. Isaac Bynum's first wife was an Easley. The Bynums, Murphrees, and Easleys migrated from SC to Tennessee together. Warham is listed as being in Capt. Delaney company in 1813 as was James Bynum. This was the James Bynum who married Susanna Childers. They were the grandparents of Susanna Evans who married Jesse Bynum Easley. Susannah's parents were _______Evans and Isabelle Bynum. (this is proven by a 1911 Confederate soldier survey for Ark.) The Bynums, Easleys, and Murphrees were all in Franklin Co., TN. at the same time. Another marriage between these Bynums and Easleys is: Solomon Easley b. 1800-1810 married Martha Bynum who was the daughter of Jesse Bynum and Sarah (?). The parentage of Jesse is a mystery. Robert Baird (one of the Bynum experts) believes he is the son of Isaac Bynum. But another Bynum researcher believes he may be the brother of James Bynum or a son. The Murphrees, Bynums, and Easleys migrated to Alabama together. One of Warham's daughters Serena married a Jesse Bynum. No one knows who this Bynum is connected to. On an affadavid for James Bynum's War of 1812 pension application (dated April 1871) Solomon Easley says that he has known James Bynum and Susana for 50 years and have lived near them much of the time. Another of Warham's children Sarah married a Murphree. When I was in Blount Co. Courthouse I asked the gentleman there about the Easleys and he said " Oh they were in that group that all came from SC". In Lone Jack, Mo. you will find Phumphree (don't have the census right at hand) Bynum and some Easleys with familiar names Warham, Miller, etc. living nearhim. Phumphree is thought to be the son of Isaac. When Benjamin Easley (son of Warham) went to Nacgodoches, Texas, who should sign one of his land deeds but a James Bynum (grandson to Solomon Murphree). The wagon train that came from Jackson or DeKalb County Alabama to Titus County in 1857 was made up of Sheltons (Isabell Bynum's second husband and their children) Malinda and Cyrus Wright (Isabell Bynum Shelton's daughter and herhusband), some of Isabells brothers and their families (all Bynums) and Jesse Easley and Susannah. One of the Bynums named their son Tucker after Tucker Easley (so the Bynum researcher believes). Even today in Titus County there are Bynums and Easleys who live near each other and I know of at least one Easley and Bynum marriage. I really would appreciate your looking at this and telling us what you think.If after looking at this you would like the documentation for further study I will be happy to send it to you. Thank you, Elaine Easley Roosz Further data from Elaine Easley Roosz, received 20 May 1998: I received this information from the National Archives last week regarding Warham Easley. This information I feel helps to confirm that the War Easley is listed on the Franklin County Tax 1812 tax list is the same as the Warham that later went to Blount County Alabama. On the 1812 tax list was also John Easley. I still don't know if this may have been Warham's father but I have a feeling that it is. Of course, it could have been a brother or a cousin. I have also found information that Jesse and James Bynum lived on Rice Creek in Pendleton Co, SC at the same time that John Easley bought land on Rice Creek in Pendleton Co., SC. Also, James Bynum was in the same military group as Warham, he went in at the same time and was discharged within a week of Warham. I have a military record of James Bynum also. He was the father of Isabelle Bynum who was the mother of Susanna Evans who married Jesse Bynum Easley. In James Bynum's application for a pension of War of 1812 . Solomon Easley and Martha (Bynum) state that they have know James Bynum and his wife Susannah Childers for many years and have no reason to believe that they are not husband and wife. Martha's father was a Jesse Bynum but I do not know how he fits in with James Bynum. The Bynums were not very creative with names. One of the Bynums did name a son Tucker Bynum and it is thought by some Bynum researchers that it was for Tucker Easley. Anyway I am sending you the information received on the Warham Easley land warrant application. but I will send it by another e-mail.
