Kellam family in Guilford County, and was noted in the 1810 census. By 1819, when William's estate was settled, he was deceased. Carl Oakes feels he dide in 1817 because Sarah was granted an administratrix bond, in Guilford County on November 18, 1817, which was probably not long after he died. Joel Estes was appointed the guardian of Elliott's children in a June 1819 Pittsylvania County, Virginia court session.). He was the son of 24. William H. Oakes and 25. Elizabeth ?Elliott. He married 13. SARAH Ann KELLUM December 27, 1797 in Guilford Co, NC.

13. SARAH Ann KELLUM, born July 25, 1774 in Coventry Parish, Somerset, Maryland (Source: Jane G. Oakes, 21025 Brumley Gap Rd, Abingdon, VA 24210-8515, Sarah was listed in the 1840 censusas being head of household in Guilford Co., NC, between 60 and 70 years of age and by the 1850 census she was living in the household of her son, Elliot Oakes. Carl Oakes speculates that she probably died in the 1850's. Sarah bought land in 1821; 100 acres for $250 on the north bank of the Haw River. Sarah never remarried after Elliot's death.); died Abt. 1855 in Guilford Co., NC (Source: Jane G. Oakes, 21025 Brumley Gap Rd, Abingdon, VA 24210-8515.). She was the daughter of 26.

Edward W. Tatum

History of Fayette County, Tennessee

Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1887

Edward W. Tatum, a prominent citizen of Somerville, Fayette County, was born in Guilford County, N.C., December 9, 1810, and is a son of Rev. Henry and Elizabeth (Bruce) Tatum.  The father was of English descent, born in Brunswick County, Va., in 1781, and died in Guilford County, N.C., in 1857.  The mother was of Irish descent, born in Guilford County, N.C., and died in that county in 1872.  The father when still young went to Guilford County, and in 1804 married there, and spent the rest of his life there, where he was a useful and popular preacher in the primitive Baptist Church;  he was also a farmer and a merchant.  Our subject was the third of eight children.  After acquiring a good education he clerked several years in his father's store, and was then proprietor of a tobacco factory in Guilford County for a few years.  In 1838 he migrated to Tennessee and settled in Fayette County ten miles west of Somerville and has since lived in the county, where he has been engaged in the merchantile business for twenty-five years, thirty at Oakland, where he first settled, then three years at Macon, when he moved to Somerville, continuing the business for several years, and is still a resident of Somervile.  Mr. Tatum lost heavily by the war, but is now in fine circumstances;  he is an upright man of fine business principles.   In 1871 he was elected county register, and held the office for sixteen years.   He is a Democrat and a consistent member of the Missionary Baptist Church.   Mr. Tatum has been married three times;  first September 26, 1833, to Miss Elizabeth F. Peebles, who died June 4, 1848;  three sons and a daughter were born to this union, one son is dead.  The mother was a Primitive Baptist.  February 10, 1849, he married Miss Rebecca Copeland, who died September 6, 1850;  they had one daughter who died in infancy, and April 8, 1851, Mr. Tatum married Mrs. Elizabeth B. (Menees) Manning, and she died March 28, 1884, a member of the Missionary Baptist Church.   Two sons and three daughters were born to this marriage;  one daughter is dead.  The second wife was a Presbyterian.  Mr. Tatum is very popular in his town and is a man of broad views and generous impulses.

Willie Sion Franklin Tatum

History of Mississippi, Vol IV

Reprint Publishing Company, 1978

The most valuable citizens of a community are those who in securing the success of their own business enterprises place the means of advancement in the hands of others, to whom occupation is thus furnished.  Hattiesburg counts as one of the greatest individual forces in its development the extensive industry which owes its origin and upbuilding to the progressive spirit and constructive powers of Willie Sion Franklin Tatum, one of the foremost lumbermen of Mississippi and of the South.  He is serving as mayor of Hattiesburg and his public spirit has prompted him to contribute liberally of his time and means to advance the cause of education, morality and good citizenship.   He holds his wealth in trust for the less fortunate of his fellows and his life has been filled with good deeds.  He was born in McNairy county, Tennessee, six miles west of Bethel Springs, September 17, 1858, and a son of Robert William Tatum, who was a native of Guilford County, North Carolina, and of pioneer stock.  His family crossed the Blue Ridge mountians in 1828, only sixteen years after that section of the country was acquired from the Indians and opened up for settlement.  His mother was a member of the famous Osborne family of Virginia and came of Quaker stock of Philadelphia.  Mr. Tatum's anestors were religious people, and he is a firm believer in the Bible as the inspired Word of God.  His grandparents were Baptists, but upon settling in a Methodist community, his father and mother united with the Methodist church, in which they became active workers.  Robert W. Tatum served as Sunday school superintendent and as steward, and would sometimes ride a distance of twenty miles to attend a Quarterly conference.

When Willie Sion Franklin Tatum was fifteen years of age he became an employee in his father's store, where he worked without remuneration until he reached is twenty-first birthday, when his father agreed to pay him five houndred dollars a years and give him his board.  In two years he had saved two hundred dollars with which he purchased a horse and buggy, using this outfit largely for courting Miss Rebecca A. O'Neal, who became his bride on June 8, 1881, the ceremony being performed by Rev. J. S. Saunders.  Mrs. Tatum was the eleventh child in the family of Christopher and Margaret (Deacon) O'Neal, who migrated from Maury county, Tennessee, to Chester county, that state, settling on a plantation near Montezuma, where she was born, and where she grew to womanhood.  Four members of the family distinguished themselves in the battle of Guilford Court House, North Carolina, which was the turning point of the Revolutionary War, and though stanch Americans, they were proud of their ancestors over the seas, among whom were included the Earl and Viscount O'Neill and Barron O'Neill, the manor-house being Shane's Castle, in County Antrim, Ireland.

Soon after his marriage Mr. Tatum took over his father's business, buying it largely on credit, and into this he put great energy.  He formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, M. F. O'Neal, and branched out into the buying and selling of lumber.   He conducted the business successfully for about twelve years.  In 1892 he visited the longleaf pine section of Mississippi on a prospecting trip and in the following year established a sawmill in Hattiesburg, in partnership with Mr. O'Neal.   They encountered many difficulties in their new enterprise and in 1897 Mr. O'Neal grew discouraged, selling his interest to Mr. Tatum, who remained undaunted by the number obstacles in his path.  His business motto is "Never Quit", and through perseverance and determination supplemented by his natural sagacity and keen powers of observation, he overcame circumstances, bending them to his will.  He is a master builder and upon the enduring foundation of honor and integrity has reared an imposing monument to his remarkable powers of initiative and administration.

Mr. Tatum has never made the acquisition of wealth his sole objective in life and represents that class of men to whom personal gain is but one aim in many, secondary in importance to public growth and development and lower in value than many other elements which go to make the sum total of human existence.  His activities are directed into those channels through which flows the greatest and most permanent good to the greatest number and he is noted for his benefactions and benevolent nature.  The following are some of his many generous gifts:  A donation of four thousand, one hundred and twenty six dollars (the first made) for the construction of the house of worship of the Main Street Methodist church of Hattiesburg and an additional dollar for every three dollars subscribed to that enterprise;  five thousand dollars to the Hattiesburg Y.M.C.A. building;  forty thousand dollars for two dormitories for the Mississippi Woman's College;  five thousand dollars to rebuild one of the dormitories of that institution;  and one hundred thousand dollars to endow the Tatum Chair of Religious Education at Millsaps College.  A missionary to Cuba was supported for thirteen years, until his health failed, and the sum of two thousand dollars was contributed toward the construction of a church at Santiago.

Mr. and Mrs. Tatum are devout Methodists and their greatest delight is in doing something for the Master.  The latter has been a Sunday school teacher since she was fifteen years of age and has long been active in the work of the Woman's Missionary Society.   Furthermore, her efforts have included helpful service in behalf of the Young Women's Christian Association.  Mr. Tatum's record as a church worker is a notable one.  Before he was twenty-one years of age he was made superintendent of the Bethel Springs Sunday school in Tennessee and filled that position until he came to this state.   On his first Sunday in Mississippi he united with the Main Street Methodist church in Hattiesburg and for many years has been one of its stewards, while for two years he was superintendent of the Sunday school.  For twenty-two years he has been a member of the Board of Missions of the Mississippi conference and was elected to the General Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in 1906 and 1922, in both of which bodies he served with marked efficiency.  Another characteristic of this well known church worker is his interest in revivals and his readiness to promote the winning of souls in any way in his power.  He arranges frequently to have evangelistic services at his sawmills and logging camps and never fails to participate in them, being deeply concerned for the spiritual as well as the temporal welfare of his employees.

The domestic life of Mr. and Mrs. Tatum is exceptionally beautiful and happy and theirs is an ideal union, each being devoted to each other.  They have become the parents of three children, all sons, two being twins.  All were educated at Millsaps College and the twins also attended Columbia University.  All are married and reside in Hattiesburg.  They are associated in business with their father, largely relieving him of the management of the large lumber company which bears his name, and each has inherited his business sagacity and ability, as well as his admirable traits of character.   Mr. Tatum is a man of commanding presence, dignified, kindly and courteous in manner, and one of the striking features of his appearance is his long, flowing beard.   By nature he is modest and retiring, never seeking the glare of publicity, and he has always been averse to entering the politicial arena.  After much solicitation his fellow townsmen induced him to become a candidate for mayor and he was elected by a large majority.  His work in this office has met with wide-spread approval, being directed by a loyal and sincere regard for the welfare of his fellow citizens.  His activities have touched the general interests of society to their betterment and on every side Mr. Tatum is spoken of in terms of unusual appreciation and admiration.

Jan 18, 1892

Mr. S. O. Ogburn, of Winston, was in Greensboro recently, hunting for the heirs of Memory B. Tatum and his brother Joseph, both of whom died near or in Meridan, Texas. These Tatums went from North Carolina, and it is believed from Guilford County. They have died without heirs, as far is known, in Texas. There are a good many of the name in this section, and the estates are said to be very large ones. It might pay for some of the name to look into this matter. A few million dollars in old Guilford would be very acceptable about this season of the year.

Child of ?________ TATUM and ? is:

20. Johan Adam Apple, born 1733 in Germany; died 1810 in Guilford Co., NC.

Child of Johan Adam Apple is:

24. William H. Oakes (Source: *Raleigh Ellison/Kay Hill info *See notes for Wm H. *Jane G. Oakes, Carl Oakes feels that this William was the first member of the Oakes family where there is enough evidence to prove direct descendancy. In the late 1770's or early 1780's William moved his family to Pittslyvania County. He bought land near Charles - 433 acres on the East Fork of Cascade Creek. William's estate was settled by the October Court of1819. He first appears on the Pittslyvania County tax list in 1782 with a small family. He left a "Negro striker" in the apprasial of his personal property so he may have been a blacksmith.), born Abt. 1753 in King william Co., VA (Source: *Kay Hill's 1976 Family Group Sheet for OAKES: William d.bef Oct 1818 Ptsyl, Va .Jane Oakes Ancestorial report:William H.:d.June 21,1818 Ptsylv, Va & Ancestors, Wm,John,John + further on all); died Bef.

25. Elizabeth ?Elliott, born Abt. 1754 in King William Co., VA (Source: Jane G. Oakes, 21025 Brumley Gap Rd, Abingdon, VA 24210-8515, Elizabeth's will was written on august 8, 1834 and probated on March 15, 1841. Carl Oakes thinks she may have been in her 80's when she died. No one knows if her last name was "Elliot". She named her first son Elliot and the use of maiden for a child was not that unusual, so the "Elliot" is a good guess.); died Bef. March 15, 1841 in Pittsylvania Co., VA.

1014 Hayes Ave.,

Oxford, Miss 38655

Oct. 21, 1976

Dear Mr. Ellison,

It was good to hear from you and a relief to find that the stone co. had not decided that they were going to mess up the cemetery. We were worried about it, as they seemed to be a little to close on one end.

I don't think they have any legal claim to the land the church sat on, that grandpa Isaac gave, since page two of that deed states, for use of the church. It would seem to me that the church would have to deed it to them before they could have a clear title. It could not have been lost for non payment of taxes since churches are not taxed. If they don't behave maybe you could keep them in line.

By the way, we don't know where Isaac's father Elliott was buried. He was in Guilford Co. in 1810 but we could find no deed for land he might have owned. The earliest deed was dated 5 Jan 1821. The heirs of Asa Brashear Decd. sold to Sarah Oakes, the adm. of Elliot Oaks. Decd. for $250.00 land situated on the Haw River, beginning at a black gum on William Black's corner standing on the north bank of Haw River thence with his line N 180 poles to said Blair's black oak thence E. 2 poles to the center of a branch thense up the meanders of said branch to a dogwood & ash thence E. 24 poles to a small black Oak on Thos Blair's line thence with his line S. 240 poles to his corner, standing in the low ground of Haw River thence W. crossing said land two times to the first station cont. by com. 100a of land m/l signed Z.D.

John's family attended church and owned a pew at Annemessex Chapel until 1780. Their pew was next to Purnell Outten's. John and his family moved to Sussex County, Delaware, just north of the Maryland line, sometime in the 1780's. He was there in the 1790 census. By the 1800 census only Elizabeth remained, under guardianship of a friend. In 1803 John purchased 200 acres in Centergrove Township, north of Guilford Courthouse. This area was settled by Quakers and Wesleyan Methodists. His will was written in 1804 in Guilford County, North Carolina.), born Abt. 1743 in "Of" Guilford Co., NC; died Aft.
