                                                             1 JOHN (1) LATTA/LATTY

Born: abt 1758 in South Carolina.  Died after 1850 in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Married twice: 1) unknown, and 2) Martha Frances Scott, daughter of George Scott, in 1849 (probably in Hamilton Co., TN). She was born abt. 1808 in North Carolina  near the Catawba lands, and died Jan. 1, 1876 in Illinois Station, Sequoyah County, Indian Territory.  She was of Indian blood.    In 1851 she and her children lived in Missouri. (Statement of her grandson, Jefferson Tyner in the Miller Applications). The Tyner and Latty families lived in many of the same places, and it may be beneficial to look at the Tyner website (www.tynerfamily.net) to search for Latty information in Chowan County, NC, Meriwether Co., GA, Hamilton Co. and Roane Co., TN, McDonald Co., MO, and Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory (Oklahoma).

See MILLER APPLICATION of Francis Latta

In the Miller Application of her grandson, Jefferson K. Tyner in 1902, he states that the children of his grandparents, "John Latty and Martha Latty, nee Scott, were Nancy Latty dead, Sarah Webb dead, Allen Latty dead, Susan _____, Elizabeth Tyner dead, Margaret Latty dead, and Jefferson Latty dead".  The Miller Application of another grand-daughter, Susan Latty Fuller, gives the names of additional children.
 

Children of John Latty:

2     SARAH ANN LATTY (2) b. Abt. 1820 in Tennessee. Listed in the 1860 Census at McDonald County, Pineville Township, Missouri as "Sarah Latty" in the residence of her mother.  By the application of Jefferson K. Tyner, it looks as though she married a "Webb."  The Miller Application of Susan Latty Fuller, daughter of Nancy Latty, stated that Sarah Webb never came west because her husband was ill.

3     JOHN ALLEN LATTY (2) b. abt. 1824 in Tennessee.  Susan Latty Fuller states in The Miller Application "My mother had a brother John Allen; Allen lived in the Territory in 1851; he came with the Emigration; he has a son Joe and a daughter Eliza."

4     SUSAN LATTY (2) b. 1835 in Tennessee. Died March 11, 1911.  Buried beside her mother in the Caney Cemetery, Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK.  Tombstone says that she was 84 years old, which would make her born in 1827.  She is listed as "Susie Tyner" on the tombstone.   Listed in 1860 Census, McDonald County, Pineville Township, Missouri, in her mother's household.  Supposedly married a Tyner.  The only reference to her marriage is the refrence by Sarah Ann Fuller in her sworn statement for Application No. 14095-29994, which says that Susan, one of mother Nancy Latty's sisters, married a "Kiner" (this could be a typing error and should be Tyner) by 1851.  Susie's only child:

              107 James Matthew "Matt" Latty, b. August 15, 1848 in Hamilton Co., TN died December 18, 1892. 

6     MARTHA ELIZABETH PATRICIA "PATSY" LATTY (2) b. abt. 1825 in Cherokee Nation East Tennessee (may be a twin to William); d. abt. 1876 and is buried in the Still Cemetery, Campbell Township, Gore, Sequoyah County, Indiana Territory ("Martha Latty Tyner - 1825-1876); Married abt. 1842/1843 in Tennessee to Hiram "Hyram" Tyner. Hyram was born in 1823, Cherokee Nation East, Hamilton Co., TN, the son of Lewis B. Tyner and his first wife Mary Ann Frances "Fannie" "Annie" Johnson. Hiram Tyner left Tennessee about 1850 and moved to Missouri (McDonald Co.) with his father Lewis Tyner. One of their daughters was born in Noel, McDonald Co., Missouri in 1856.  They also lived at Webber Falls, Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, Oklahoma.  Lewis died Dec. 16, 1876, Sequoyah Co., Indian Territory. Buried at Still Cemetery, Gore, Sequoyah Co., Indian Territory.  The Tyner’s lived among the Cherokee Nation in Tennessee. Mr. Tyner was a farmer, white and a voter. His mother may have been a Cherokee. His grandfather, Dempsey Tyner was a Cherokee interpreter.  Children: Elizabeth, born in 1844 in Hamilton Co., TN, Reuben, born in 1845 in Hamilton Co., TN, John Wesley, born May 24, 1847 in Hamilton Co., TN, Lewis Columbus "Luke", born May 25, 1849 in Hamilton Co., TN.

7     WILLIAM (2) LATTY

John (1).  William Latty was b. abt. 1828 in TN. Married Susan E. Abernathy. She was born in 1826-28 in NC. They were married in TN in 1846/47.  In 1849/50, they headed west on "trail of tears." (History "William Latty: Hills of Tennessee to the Missouri Ozarks" compiled by Ila Chastain "Folk lore tells us William with his young wife and two toddlers left Tennessee on that dreaded "trail of tears" with a ten-wagon caravan." Info from older family members and court records lead one to believe that William Latty and family traveled through the wilderness with Latty families and other related families, Tyners and Bradshaws.  Susan died in childbirth, and William came down with pneumonia from digging her grave and also died. Their 7 youngest children were raised by two maiden aunts in the home of Andrew Jackson "Doc" Latty. (Margaret and Peggy were two maiden aunts of their father.)

This looks like John D. Tyner's Aunt (Martha E. Latta) lived with them, and that his wife's Aunt (Rebecca E. Latta/probably #44 Carlene Rebecca Latta) lived with them. There is a Rebecca F. Latta (1869-1952) buried in the Caney Cemetery, Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK, along with a Martha E. Latta (1859-1933).  If there is a reference to their father's being born in George, wonder if this was where #1 John Latta was from originally.??

LIST INFORMATION: The LDS genealogy website lists George W. Howell married to Mary J. Nox (their spelling. It probably should have been Knox), on June 12, 1869 in Benton County Arkansas. That site lists the husband as 54 at the time of the marriage and the wife as 32.  Both their ages at the time of this marriage indicates it was a second marriage for both. Mary Jane apparently first married a Knox and then she married George Howell. 
1880, Benton County Arkansas, Osage Township (Ancestry.Com census image # 30). 

George Washington Howell, age 65, farmer, born South Carolina; Mary, age 45, keeping house, born Tennessee;
Joseph, son, age 10, born Arkansas; Francis, son, age 8, born Arkansas (This is Francis Marion Howell, who lived as a widower for many years with my husband's grandparents); Mary, daughter, age 7, born Arkansas; Mahala, daughter, age 5, born Arkansas

The 1900 US census, Crawford County Arkansas,Union Township, District 57 (Ancestry.Com census image # 15), lists Mary J. Howell as head of household, (a widow by that time), born April 1836, age 64 and Marion Howell, son, born August 1871, age 29, in Arkansas. Listed next door is Mary's daughter, Mary Frances with her husband Creed Bentley and their children, Delilah, Britton and George W.  Mallory Funeral Home records, in Sallisaw, Sequoyah County Oklahoma, have her listed as Mary WELLS. Below is the Mallory Funeral Home quote:  "HOWELL, Francis Marion, Oct 4, 1871 (Benton Co, Ark) - Oct 23, 1946, s/o George W. HOWELL and Mary WELLS, page 43." http://www.rootsweb.com/~oksequo2/mallorypageH.html

This is a typo or some sort of other error. Her maiden name was WALLS.  The LDS genealogy web site, under Francis Marion Howell, lists his parents as George Howell and Mary Walls.  The LDS website (IGI individual record) also lists George Howell, death after 1888, spouse Mary Walls, marriage 1869 in Arkansas. When you click on Mary's name it gives her birth as about 1835.  Mary Jane Howell gave an affidavit on behalf of Sarah Jane Fuller (widow of Charles Edwin Fuller), in Sarah's petition for a civil war widow's pension. In her statement, Mary Jane said she had known Charles Fuller all his life since his infancy and that he was her nephew.   She further stated in that affidavit that she didn't know whether any of his aunts or uncles on his father's side of the family ever had lung disease because she didn't know them; only that Charles' only brother, Jesse Thomas Fuller (he married Sarah Ann Latty) had died of the disease.   Since Mary Jane didn't know his father's family, it is apparent she had to be his aunt on his mother's side. That would mean Charles and Jesse Fuller's mother had to have been Mary Jane's sister; a Walls. I just haven't yet discovered who their mother was. Irena Latty also gave an affidavit for Sarah Jane, stating she had known Charles E. Fuller since his infancy. Irena also made a statement in behalf of Sarah Ann Latty Fuller, in her application for civil war widow's pension on her husband, Jesse Thomas Fuller, (Charles Fuller's brother). In that affidavit, Irena stated she had known Jesse from his birth until his death. Mary Jane and Irena were sisters.

The 1850 census of Benton County Arkansas, Osage township (Ancestry.Com census image # 35) lists:

Edward Walls, age est. 36, born North Carolina; Delilah, age est. 36, born South Carolina; Susan, age 19, born Georgia; John, age 17, born Tennessee; Mary J., age 15, born Tennessee (This is Mary Jane); Joana, age 13, born Tennessee (This is Irena). 

Out to the left of each of Edward and Delilah's ages, the census taker made the notation "est." To me that referrs to "estimate." All the later censuses prove his estimate was incorrect concerning Delilah. These subsequent censuses bear out that she was actually born ca. 1794-95. Edward is not listed anywhere after 1850. He apparently died between 1850 and 1860. I have estimated both their ages as 56 in 1850.  Subsequent censuses also bear out that the two younger girls listed in this census are indeed Mary Jane and Irena Walls.  In the 1850 census, Mary J. Walls is listed as 15 years old.  In the 1880 census, she is listed as 45 years old.  In the 1900 census, she is listed as 64 years old.  All of these are the same Mary Jane Walls.

On the 1850 census above, the name that (I'm sure) should be Irena looks like Joana. The discrepancy might possibly be in the particular way the census taker formed his letters. Her birth year in 1850 is exactly the same as it is in 1860 and in 1880. It is one year off in 1970.  Irena's middle name was Lettie. She is found on the 1860 census in McDonald County Missouri, Pineville Township (Ancestry.Com census image # 16) as Leety.

Jefferson Latty, age 23, born Tennessee; Leety, age 23, born Missouri (This is Irena); James M., age 12, born Missouri (his age indicates he is not their son); Mahala, age 2, born Missouri

Irena Lettie Latty's age on this census confirms that she is same girl who is shown in the 1850 census as a 13 year old daughter of Edward and Delilah Walls.

In the 1870 census, Benton County Arkansas, Osage Township, (Ancestry.Com census image # 28-29), Irena (clearly readable) and two of her children are living in the household of one Thomas Nichols and his family. That year she is listed as 34 years old. That would make her born in 1836. Close enough to be consistent with the other censuses.

The 1880 census, McDonald County Missouri, White Rock township lists:

J.M. (James Mathaniel) Bullock, age 42; D.M. (Druzilla Mahala) Bullock, age 22; Mary E., daughter, age 1 month;
Irena L. Bullock, wife's mother, age 43, born Tennessee.

This is Irena Lettie Walls Latty, living with her daughter Druzilla. What a blooper the census taker made on this one!!! Anyone knows a mother-in-law doesn't have the same name as her daughter's husband. Look at Irena's age here. That tells me she was born in 1837 in Tennessee just like the 13 year old daughter of Edward and Delilah Walls in 1850, and the same as the Leety Latty in 1860.  All of this information conclusively proves, at least to me, that Mary Jane Howell and Irena Lettie Latty were sisters, both of them daughters of Edward and Delilah Walls.  Does anyone have information concerning a sister of Mary Jane and Irena, who married William Fuller and became the mother of Charles Edwin and Jesse Thomas Fuller? 

SEE NOTE 1:  John (1). Born between 1819-1821. There is a record that he was born between 1801 and 1810. - 1830 Williamson Co., Tennessee Census-Census Film #024540 shows a John Latty, with one male under 5, 2 from 5-9 years old, 1 from 15-19, 1 male 20-29, and one male 60-69, 1 female 5-9, 1 female 15-19, 3 females 20-29, and 1 female 40-49. This could show that John's parents John Latta (being the 1 male between 60-69) and his first wife (unknown)  (being the 1 female 40-49) was living with them.)  John Wesley Latta married Francis "Fannie" Connors.  Fannie was born on August 23, 1827 and died August 17, 1887.  She is buried in the Caney Cemetery, Tahlequah, Cherokee Co., OK.  There is a Matthew Latta and a William Latta in the First Cherokee Mounted Rifles, Bryan's Battalion, Oklahoma.  This could be William below, but who was Matthew?  Could he be the son of #4 Susan Latty?

 Children:

____   MATILDA E. (3) b. Oct. 1882; m. Leslie Bennett.  There was a "Leslie Latty Bennett" who was a renowned professor at Berkeley in California.  Was he their son?  His biography also states that he was born in Oregon.  The age is right.

_____  JOHN E. (3) b. Sept. 1899.

  Jefferson (2) John (1)   *This information provided by the daughter of Rosa Belle Latty, Ann Manard.  JAMES M.¹ LATTY (Source: Tombstone has 8-15-1892 as birth date) was born 15 Aug 1848 in Tennessee (Source: Tombstone.), and died 03 Dec 1892 in Indian Territory (Source: Tombstone states death as 12-3-1892).  He married VILSIE "BITSY" BAKER (Source: Tombstone.) 17 Dec 1866 in McDonald County, Missouri (Source: Missouri marriage records 1865 - 1951 on Ancestry.com. Name on marriage license is "Bitsy" which was a nickname.).  She was born 20 Sep 1846 in Tennessee (Source: Tombstone.), and died 03 Jun 1904 in Indian Territory (Source: Tombstone.).  Notes for JAMES M. LATTY:  James M. Latty's middle name: Is it Madison or Matthew?  Some family members say it is Madison and some say it is Matthew, I have found nothing so far to prove either name. I have a lot more research to do.

James Madison Latty, b. August 15, 1848 in Hamilton Co., TN died December 18, 1892.  He could be the "James, age 3" listed in the 1850 Hamilton County, TN census in John Latty's household.  Susan is not listed in that household census.  On the 1860 Pineville, McDonald County, Missouri Census, there is a James M., age 12, born in MO in Jefferson Latty's household.  This may be "Matt" since the age is correct.  Jefferson would be his uncle.   James Matthew Latty (his daughter, Rosa Belle Latty always stated that his middle name was "Madison", and that is what we have recorded above), married Vilsie Baker on Dec. 27, 1866 in McDonald County, Missouri (Marriage Records 1865-1951)  Vilsie was born Sept. 2, 1846 and died Jan 3, 1904.  Both are buried in the Caney Cemetery.

out of wedlock.   

The next document is ??? something under oath.

CHEROKEES BY BLOOD AND ADOPTION

This document seems to be confirming the birth of children to Felix Latta,
and that his wife Elizabeth Latta and, Felix and his children are of Indian
blood.
Looks like Felix and Cynthia Green had two children.  Mary born in 1894 and
Felix born 1896.

                                                        117 HENRY MONROE (4) LATTA

James M. (3) Susan (2) John (1)  HENRY MONROE (4) LATTA  (Source: 1900 Federal Census.) was born Jul 1886 in Tahlequah Dist., Indian Territory, and died 12 Aug 1912 in Stuart, Hughes County, Oklahoma.  He married MARTHA FLORENTINE HOLCOMB Abt. 1909 in Unknown, daughter of RICHARD HOLCOMB and VICTORIA GARRISON.  She was born 27 Feb 1892 in Misssouri, and died 07 Dec 1968 in Grants Pass, Josephine county, Oregon.  Notes for HENRY MONROE LATTA:   I cannot find proof of birth for Henry Monroe Latta/Latty/Lattie. He is only listed in the 1900 census , living with his mother Vilsia who was a widow, as being 9 years old, birth date July 1891 but his tombstone lists his birth year as 1886.

   You would think his mother knew when he was born but did the person taking the information write it down wrong? Or did they get it wrong on the tombstone?

   The family says he died at the age of 26 from a heat stroke. He was working for the B K & O Railroad doing common labor at the time of his death but there are no records that I can find. B K & O Railroad no longer exists and Social Security numbers were not around in 1912 when he died. The only record of his existence is the 1900 census. He died in 1912, therefore he should have been in the 1910 census records but cannot find anything, not even living in household with any relatives.

   I also cannot find marriage records for him and Martha Holcomb but they may have gotten married in Arkansas since Cherokee county is close to the Arkansas state line.

   I believe the 1886 date is correct because that would make him 26 years of age at death. If he was born in 1881 he would have been 29 when his first child was born and should have shown up in other census reports but there is no record of him after the 1900 census. I believe the census taker got it wrong because he has Susie Tyner living there and has her listed as mother-in-law which is not true.

 Since everyone who actually knew is dead and gone we may never solve this mystery.(*Ann Manard)

Smith, Arkansas), son of ABRAHAM VANDERPOOL and SARAH MILLER.  He was born 15 Aug 1902 in Baron, Indian Territory, and died 30 Jan 1976 in Muskogee Regional Hospital, Muskogee, OK.

DELA "DEALIE" WILSON (Source: 1920 Federal Census.) 08 Jun 1910 in Cherokee County, Oklahoma (Source: Oklahoma District Court Records.).  She was born 1895. Notes for ANDREW M. LATTY:Andrew M. Latty was born July 3, 1887 according to his World War I draft card which he had signed at the bottom so I am assuming this is the correct date.
