  • Notes 
    • Marriages:
      Rhea Co., TN Marriage Book #1--
      entry 884 James HALE to Mary Jane MARYOTT 19 Jan 1866
      entry 987 James HALE to Jane LOY 12 Dec 1867

      1850 TN Census:
      LOY, Yancy 33, Sarah 40, Elizabeth 15, Sarah M. 13, Mary J. 11, George W. 8, Priscilla 6,
      NC NC, Rhea Co.-290-580 [Mary J. LOY b. abt 1839]

      1860 TN Census:
      LOY, Yancy 45, Mary 40, Elizabeth 25, Jane 22, George 20, Presella 18, Malinda 16 Rhea
      Co.-96-475 [Jane LOY b. abt 1838]

      This suggests to me that the Jane LOY who married James HALE was, indeed, named Mary Jane, though she seems to have gone by Jane later on.

      1860 Rhea Co. TN Census:
      HALE,George 60, Susan 31, George H. 18, Margaret E. 16, James 14, Lucinda 12,
      Manerva 8, Linda 4, Susan 1, R-65-487

      HALE,Scott 42, Martha ? 39, Andrew 21, Elissa 18, John H. 16, James P. 13,
      Andrew J. 11, William S. 10, Allen 1, Elizabeth McFARLAND 81, R-34-498

      This establishes that there were two James HALEs close in age who were most likely the two James HALEs involved in the marriages in question. One was a son of George HALE, the other son of Scott HALE.

      1870 Rhea Co. TN Census:
      District 3 pt.2
      100-100 HAIL,George H. 28, m w farmer 350 TN
      Syntha R. 23, f w k-h TN [s/o George]

      135-135 HAIL,George 70 m w farmer TN
      Susan 42 f w k-h TN
      Lucinda 17 f w TN
      Menerva 15 f w attending school TN
      Mary 13 f w " " TN
      Rebecca 9 f w TN
      136-136 HAIL,James 22 m w farm laborer TN
      Jane 27 f w k-h TN
      Laura 1 f w TN
      William 4 m w TN
      [s/o George] [by process of elimination-see below-I conclude this is Jane LOY]
      [using ages from 1860, Mary Jane LOY was approx. 8 yrs older than James HALE, in 1870 census that age difference has shrunk to 5 yrs, an understandable lowering of the woman's age not uncommon--seems a lot of women get younger as the censuses progress, especially if they are older than their spouse!]

      District 6 pt.2
      96-96 HAIL,Scott 54 m w farmer 300 TN
      Martha J. 46 f w k-h TN
      Manda J. 19 f w TN
      Eliza A. 25 f w TN
      William 18 m w farm laborer TN
      Allen 12 m w " " TN
      Bartin 6 m w TN
      97 97 MARIOTT Nancy 49 F W k-h 10000 1200 TN
      James 23 M W Farmer TN
      Henry S 17 M W Farmer TN
      Thompson H 15 M W Laborer TN
      Nancy P 11 F W TN
      Alfred 9 M W TN
      99-99 HAIL,James R. 23 m w farmer 400 TN
      Mary J. 20 f w k-h TN
      William 3 m w TN
      Martha A. 1 f w TN

      [from proximity of families above, I conclude this is Mary Jane MARYOTT who
      married James HALE, s/o Scott HALE]
