2 CONT speculation based upon land and census records
2 CONT -------------------------
2 CONT 
2 CONT On April 5, 1858, Thomas B.  patented (homesteaded) land in Section 3,Township 4, Range 7 (S3
2 CONC , T4, R7).  He may have received as much as 280acres.  This land is located about 1 to 2 mile
2 CONC s west of the currentInterstate at the Pike/Lincoln County Border.  The map is on file in the
2 CONC Land Records of Pike County as "Old Map #3".
2 CONT 
2 CONT In 1860 Wilson is hh 132, Lunsford is hh 134, Sam is hh 135, and Thomasis hh 136.  All in Pik
2 CONC e County.  Only hh 133 separates them.  SinceThomas owned the land, were they living on his p
2 CONC roperty?  There are noother Tarvers in any adjoining or nearby sections.  Are they all of the
2 CONC same family?
2 CONT 
2 CONT Since Thomas B. patented his land in 1858, we can be reasonably sure hewas living there whe
2 CONC n the 1860 census was taken, we therefore assume hh136 to be that of Thomas B. Tarver.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Neighbors in Section 3 were George Bigner, B. Denham, E. Gatlin, and N.Woodall.  Thomas' prop
2 CONC erty was separated by Woodall (80 acres) fromNewton Marion Brown, Sr.  Hence the marriage o
2 CONC f Newton, Jr. and AverillaRebecca Tarver.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Another thought - Could Thomas B Tarver be one of the sons in Wilsonhousehold on 1840 census?
2 CONT 1840 census lists Wilson with
2 CONT      1 son 5-10     Lunsford would 5
2 CONT      2 sons 10-15   Thomas B. 10, Sam 15

2 CONT -------------
2 CONT In all the years I have researched this family, I have yet to review anydocument that prove

2 CONT 
2 CONT Nell Kauffman, who wrote the study on old John Cockerham and hisDescendants (1987) wrote i

2 CONC , thather husband may have been named Benjamin.  However, there is nothing toprove nor dispro

2 CONT 
2 CONT : June Stubbs: "As for the first name of the Tarver who married JudithCockerham, my files ind

2 CONT 
2 CONT Fifteen years after Kauffman's Progress Report, researchers continue todebate the question, s
