William Usery, Blacksmith and Farmer

Tennessee has furnished to this county a number of representative men and among them might be mentioned William Usery, who was born in Bedford County, TN in 1832. He is the son of Allen and F. Elizabeth Johnson Ussery, both natives of North Carolina, and early settlers of Tennessee, to which state they migrated in pioneer times. They were members of the M.E. Church, William Usery was brought up as an agriculturist, and it was but natural that he should permanently adopt that calling as his life occupation; this he has always followed. He used his education in the common schools of Tennessee, and at the age of 18 learned the blacksmith trade, which he followed in connection with farming. In 1849 he came to St. Francis County, AR and worked at his trade for two years. He was first married in 1851 to Mrs. G. (Stephens) Fisher and one child was born to this union, Frances, who is now the wife of William A. Garvy and resides in Poinsett Co., AR. Mrs. Usery died in 1856 and in 1859 Mr. Usery selected his second wife in the person of Mrs. Roxy (Franks) Casbeer, widow of Joseph Casbeer, who was a native of Tennessee and a farmer by occupation. By her second marriage, Mrs. Usery became the mother of three children: Jerusha, widow of Frank Thiville, a farmer of St. Francis county, who died in 1886, leaving his widow and two children, Thomas and Chessley . Mrs.Usery is the daughter of Chessley and Jerusha May Franks, the former a local M.E. preacher of Tennessee. Elder Franks came to Arkansas at a very early day, and he married Miss May, a member of one of the oldest families of Northeastern Arkansas. Mrs. Usery is the 4th of eight children born to her parents, her birth occurring in St. Francis county, Ark in 1829. She spent her school days in that county, and after her marriage to Mr. Usery in 1859, they resided in St. Francis county for 13 years. Mr. Usery engaged in blacksmithing and farming. In 1872 he moved to Harrisburg and bought 460 acres of land, but has since sold some of this, and is now the owner of 300 acres adjoining the city, with about 50 acres under cultivation. He lives in the center of this, just across the corporation line. He has the best buildings, the largest orchard, bearing all kinds of fruit, and is considered one of the substantial men of the county. By his marriage were born two children: Florence, wife of a minister of the M.E. Church, and residing in Texas, and Annis, wife of George Garvey, a merchant of Harrisburg. Mr. Usery and family are members of the M.E. Church and he is a Royal Arch Mason. He is also a member of the I.O.O.F. He and his excellent wife can relate some very interesting reminiscences of early times, how timber was made with a ship saw, how the clothing and boots and shoes were made by the old settlers, and how Believer was at one time the county seat.

1876 May 10, FCT Court Loose Records, Martha DOSSETT vs Milton NUGENT, J. J. ARLEDGE DC. To the Hon. Jno. W. Williams Judge of the County Court of FCT.

Martha DOSSETT, formerly Martha NUGENT, Jane NUGENT, Minerva NUGENT, Alexander USERY and wife formerly Dora NUGENT, Benjamin CHERRY and wife Elizabeth formerly Elizabeth NUGENT, citizens of FCT. Petitioners vs Milton NUGENT and Miles TAYLOR and wife Margaret NUGENT non-residents of the state of Tenn. Defendants.

Petitioners respectfully represent to the Court that they and the defendants are the children and heirs at law of John NUGENT, dec'd, except Alexander USERY, Benjamin CHERRY, and Miles TAYLOR who intermarried with children and heirs at law of said NUGENT, who died several years ago in FC, in testate, and seized and possessed of about 40a of land in the 9th CD of said county, and adjoining the lands of REYNOLDS, LENEHAN, POWERS and COLSTON and being the same upon which said John NUGENT resided at the time of his death. Petitioners charge that they are the owners and tenants in common of said land as the hers of John NUGENT as aforesaid. Petitioners further charge that owing to the situation of the land, the timber, water and improvements generally it would be impossible to partition the same equally between the owners thereof.

They therefore charge that the premises are so situated that partition thereof cannot be made and that it would be manifestly for the advantage of all the parties in interest et al the same should be sold for division, instead of partitioned.... Sols.: FITZPATRICK, GREGORY & DAVIS /s/ D.S. LONG

Receipt from Clem ARLEDGE Clk of Alx USREY the sum of $50 the full amount of his purchase for the land in the above cause.

It appearing to the satisfaction of the court from its proof of Mrs. Elizabeth CHERRY and of the heirs, that Milton NUGENT has not been heard from for more than 7 years, it is therefore ordered by the court, that the clerk of this court pay his interest in the above cause to the other heirs in equal proportion. Deposition of D.S. LONG says that there is but 4 or 5 acres of land... thinks it should be sold...

Hardeman Co., TN

1887 Biographies of Hardeman Co. TN

John T. Low John T. Low was born June 19, 1851, two miles southwest of Saulsbury, Hardeman Co., Tenn. He is a son of E. E. and Mary A. (Aitken) Low. The father was born in Perry County, Ala., August 24, 1824, and immigrated to Hardeman County, Tenn., January, 1831, and was married September 5, 1847, to Miss Aitken, of Hardeman County, Rev. Samuel Lambeth officiating. To this union four sons were born, three of whom died in childhood. E. E. Low joined the Masonic fraternity in 1848, Berlin Lodge, No. 170, in town of Berlin, Hardeman County, and the Royal Arch Chapter and Council Masons in La Grange, Fayette Co., Tenn. September, 1854, he became a member of the Baptist Church at Rock Springs, Hardeman County, the pastor being Rev. L. Savage. September, 1855, he engaged in commercial business at Saulsbnry. He formed a copartnership with John M. and J. J. Chambers; the firm was styled E. E. Low & Co. They met with considerable success and were regarded as men of ability and integrity. J. J. Chambers was a prosperous merchant and farmer, always a true Democrat. In 1861 a company was organized and called the Saulsbury Grays. J. M. Richardson was made captain. H. A. Guynn first lieutenant, E. E. Low, second heutenant and Jesse Barden, third lieutenant. A company called the Hatchy Hunters, of Bolivar, Tenn., with R. H. Wood of that place as captain, was consolidated at Trenton, Gibson County, into the Twenty-second Tennessee Volunteers, Thomas J. Freeman as colonel of the regiment. After serving about four months Mr. Low resigned his commission as lieutenant and joined the company as a private. In the fall of 1862 the conscript law took effect and he being over thirty-five years of age was released from duty at Tupelo, Miss. He returned home. In November of the same year, while leading a quiet and peaceable life, he and several others were taken by the Federal soldiers and imprisoned at Alton, Ill. His fellow prisoners were M. M. Thurmond, T. B. Bowdon, William Gannon and T. B. Low, his brother. January, 1863, without charges or trial he was released and lived as a citizen until the following fall, when he went south with C. W. Phelps, an old comrade of the Twenty-second Regiment and enlisted in the Fourteenth Tennessee Cavalry, Col. J. J. Neely’s regiment, under command of Gen. N. B. Forrest. Mr. Low was commissary of the regiment until the latter portion of December, 1864, after the battle of Franklin, Tenn., or better known as Hood’s raid. He was taken sick near Nashville, Tenn., with pneumonia and left three or four miles north of Franklin with James P. Moore, a citizen. In March, 1865, he went to Memphis by boat, and obtained a situation as clerk for Pearce, Park & Co., at that place. In the fall of that year he entered into business at Saulsbury in partnership with J. J. Chambers, T. C. Moore and J. D. Ussery, the firm being known as Moore, Ussery & Co. In the fall of 1866 he retired from business, devoting the remainder of his life to his family. In 1873 Saulsbury Grange was organized with E. E. Low as Master. He died July 4, 1886. He was one of a family of twenty-two brothers and sisters. His father, Thomas Low (grandfather John T.) was born in Randolph County, N.C., January 22, 1768. He immigrated to Georgia when quite young, then to Alabama, and January, 1831, came to Hardeman County, Tenn. The next year he formed a M. D. society in that county. His death occurred March 9, 1846, and the community lost a useful and esteemed resident. His father (great-grandfather of subject) was John Low; he married Charity, a sister of the distinguished Gen. John Butler and a niece of Gen. William O. Butler, a noted and gallant officer with Gen. Zachary Taylor in the Mexican war. The mother of John T. Low was born January 29, 1826, in Russellville, Ala. Her father, John Hall Aitken, was a native of Edinburg, Scotland. He immigrated to America in 1817. In 1821 he married Miss Mary F. Rutherford, of Russellville. His death occurred April, 1827. March, 1828, Mrs. Aitken, with her two children, William and Mary, and her father, Samuel Rutherford, immigrated to Hardeman County, Tenn., and settled where the town of Grand Junction now lies, or about two and a half miles south of the railroad crossing. Samuel Rutherford was born in Gochland County, Va., in 1763 and located in Russellville, Franklin Co., Ala., in 1818. John T. Low, the subject of this sketch, was raised on a farm and received such educational advantages as the average country boy and schools of that day gave, until about his nineteenth year or the close of the war. He then entered the Union University at Murfreesboro where he remained two years, returning home in 1872. He became interested in agriculture and has devoted his time to that pursuit in which he has met with prosperity. In connection with his chief pursuit he has done a portion of the surveying for Hardeman County since 1875. He is a man of the best social standing, influence and indisputable integrity. He is prominently connected with the Masonic order, being a Royal Arch Mason. His membership is at Saulsbury Lodge, No. 48. He is a stanch, true Democrat. He is an enterprising farmer, and extensive dealer in fine blooded stock and cattle. He is liberal and always ready to assist all charitable institutions or worthy and beneficial enterprises. He was married in Texas, December 23, 1874, to Josie Guy, the only daughter of Dr. J. H. and Ranie (Carlton) Guy. Mrs. Low was born December 5, 1856, in Haywood County, Tenn. To this union four children have been sent: Willie Carlton, born November 14, 1876; Ranie Mary, born October 10, 1877; Johnnie T., born June 14, 1881, and departed this life January 5, 1885; Josie Irene, born October 14, 1885. Mr. and Mrs. Low are devoted and exemplary members of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Low joined in 1868.

About 1871, it appears that B.F. Ussery and his family moved from Tennessee to Yalbusha County, Mississippi and located about five miles southeast of Water Valley. B.F. farmed and operated a pottery where he made pots, churns, etc. It seems that many members of his family participated in the same skill. See the letter his father Robert wrote to Mastain!
