Buried Joseph Jared Cemetery - Low Gap
The W.A. Ensor, TN, 84th Infantry, Company G, Captain was William Asbury
Ensor from Putnam County, TN. William Asbury Ensor organized
a group of
volunteers and was "elected" Captain. It may be interesting to
know that William Asbury Ensor was not a slave owner.
The 84th was at the Battle of Shiloh
General Donelson, in his report of the battle, stated: "The 84th, being
a new and very small regiment, was assigned to my command December 29,
1862, only two days before the battle. I deemed it best to leave it in
the rear in support of Carnes' Battery. Colonel Stanton's Regiment was
not seriously engaged, though I do not doubt, if an opportunity had presented
itself, that both he and his men would have fought most gallantly."

Margaret Ellen Shanks was born Jan 7, 1832. Professed religion
in Oct. 1849, and joined the Methodist Church about the close of the Civil
War. She was married to Thomas J. Evans June 22, 1850, being in her
18th year. They lived happily together 12 years and 11 months; six
children being born to them, five girls and one boy. Her husband
enlisted in the War in Oct. 1861, and lived only until the 17th of the
following April, he having taken sick in camps at Tullahoma where he died
and was buried. Thus she was left to battle through life alone with
five little children to support, the oldest being only nine years old,
and the baby being not a year old. One little girl died just before
the father's death. Margaret died May 22, 1920, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Joe Carr, three miles below Boma, her three surviving children,
S. O. Evans, Mrs. Carr, and Mrs. W. E. Jared, being with her. She
was in her 89th year, and leaves a great number of descendents, over 200
in number, besides many other relatives, who will miss her friendly counsel
and her lifelong example of industry and thrift.
Her remains were laid to rest Sunday in the lot that she had selected
in the beautiful Smellage Cemetery near Boma, a vast concours of people
having assembled to pay their last respects to this grand old lady, the
funeral being conducted by three of her grandsons, Revs. D.A., S.M., and
John O. Ensor, assisted by Rev. J.A. Harris.

More About Jonathan Lasley Ensor:
Cause of Death: Fell from horse
Notes for Ruth Jared:
Jonathan was from Bristol, TN. He came down South after leaving
home as a young man. Sixteen miles down Walton Road, (now highway
70) at Low Gap, Ruth Jared lived in the home of her parents. There
was no school near, and little social life where young folks participated.
She wondered what her fate would be. One night she dreamed she saw
a young man riding a bay horse. He had beautiful, penetrating blue
eyea and was wearing a brown jean suit.
When Jonathan arrived in Middle Tennessee, he stopped for the night at the home of Jospeh Jared. A few days after her dream , when Jonathan knocked at the Jared door, Ruth recognized him immediately as the man in her dreams. It was love at first sight for both of them, and they were soon married.
Ruth's brothers had a sawmill in Sagamon, Ill. Five years after Jonathan and Ruth were married Johathan took his family there. On Dec. 23, 1826 Jonathan was killed from a fall from his horse. Ruth started back to Tennessee with her little children in a horse drawn wagon. One of the horses died, and she exchanged the other and the wagon for 2 oxen and a cart, and made her way back to the home of her father.

Notes for Alfred Jones:
On Jan 26, 1826 Alfed entered 25 acres of land in Buffalo Valley, and
it included where John Carr lives. The land was surveyed on Jun 26,
1827 with John Carr and John Jones as chain carriers. By 1831 Alfed
had aquired the 50 acres granted to Henry M. Carr in 1825. Then on
Jan 2, 1833 as the assignee of Henry M. Carr he was granted 25 acres in
the head of Buffalo Valley adjoining the "East boundary of said Carr's
50 acres now occupied by Alfred Jones. Alfred also acquired a 100
acre grant of Henry M. Carr. Henry had entered this land on June
8, 1827, and had it surveyed on May 29, 1831. This land began at
South boundary of the 70 acres of Prettyman Jones, and adjoined on the
East the 25 acres of Alfed Jones and the 50 acres of Nathan Jared.
He owned this land by 1836 as the 1836 Tax List of Jackson County lists
him with two 25 acre tracts, a 50 acre tract, and a 100 acre tract.
Alfred was the administrator of Prettyman's estate. He and his brother, Byrd S. Jones, were the administrators of the estate of John Carr as they were sued by Alexander B. McNichols as administrtors of John Carr's estate on Nov 5 1841. By 1842 McNicholds of Wilson Co., TN had recovered a judgement of $225. But the suit continued as the depositions of the following witnesses were taken on Oct 1, 1846 at the Buffalo Valley Meeting House: Charles R. Blair, Zachariah Kirkland, Garland Anderson about 37 years old, Joshua Bartlett, Thomas Anderson, William H. Jones, and James R. Jones about 33 years old.
The 1830 Census of Jackson County lists Alfred with 2 males under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 5-10, and 1 female 20-30. In the 1840 Census of Jackson Co. he is listed in the 13th District with 2 males 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, and 1 female 40-50. In 1850 he is listed in Distric 13, Jackson Co. as #125-125, and listed as 120-120 is Lavina Tucker; as 121-121 Pritiman Jones; as 122-122 Lewis J. Jones; as 123-123 Ira Carr; as 124-124 Garland Anderson; as 126-126 James Isbell; and as 129-129 Bird S. Jones. In Alfred's household was Elizabeth 48 born VA; John 21 b. Tn; James 18 b. TN; Nancy 10 b. TN; Alfred Carr 21 b TN; and Elizabeth Nichols 8 b TN. His son, Thomas 24, b Tn was living with James and Rebecca Isbel.
Alfred was a farmer. The 1850 Jackson Co. Agriculture Census shows
that he had 80 acres of improved land, and 70 acres of unimpoved land.
He had two horses, two milk cows, two oxen, four other cattle, 20 hogs,
and 25 sheep. On his farm he yearly produced 500 bushels of corn,
8 bushels of peas and beans, 150 lbs. of butter, and 100 lbs. of beeswax
and honey. The value of his land was $300, value of farm implements
$10, value of livestock $200, value of home manufacturing $25, and value
of animals slaughtered was $50.

On Jan 11, 1855 he was a witness for Joshua Bartlett in a land suit
filed against Bartlett by Edward Anderson. In his deposition he said
he was about 58, that the boundary line crossed Valley Road just about
woods pasture of Amonett, the Buffalo Valley Road was a dividing line between
Bartlett and Anderson, and that his had been acquainted with the land 40
years or upwards.
He made his will on Oct 29, 1855 and it was probated on Dec 1, 1855. To his wife, Elizabeth, on third plus one beef cow, two hogs, etc; mentions Thomas Jones & Gilchan; to two daughters, Charlotta Hazzard and Nancy D. Jones, $25; and balance of my estate to be divided between all my childresn except Rebecca Isbell she having received in the price of land. Witnesses to the will were N.G. Duke, F.N. Patterson, and A. Plamer. After his death William H. Jones sold to Bird S. Jones his interest in the land that belonged to his father on Sept. 11, 1856. Witnesing the deed were James R. and Alred Jones. On Sept 16, 1856 James R. Jones sold his interest in his father's land to James Isbel for $50. In Oct 1856 term of Putnam County Court a decree was entered which shows that Bird S. Jones and Tlhomas Jones Executors of Alfred Jones deceased, Lott Hazard and wife Charloty Jones, Gillahn and wife Nancy, and James Isbell filed a petition to sell 100 acres of land of Alfred Jones.
We have found no record of the name of Alfred's first wife. It would appear from the frequent use of Nancy in Alfred's family that her name may have been Nancy. We feel she may have been a sister fo Henry M. Carr since it appears that he and Alfred had a close relationship.

Notes for Joseph Jackson Jared:
Joseph was a Private in Feagin's Company, Russell's Virginia Regiment.
He received a Tennessee Land Grant for his Revolutionary War Service.
Joseph entered service as a volunteer October 12, 1779 in London Co., VA.
He entered the service at Lacy's Tavern, on Bulskin Creek, under Captain
Daniel Feagans, Lieutenant John Russell, Ensign Samuel Oliphant, Col. Russell,
Major Merriweather, and Major Dick?
Colonel Russell's regiment was immediately marched from Lacy's Tavern to Richmond, from which place it anticipated they would move on to Hillsborough, but upon their arrival at Richmond, they were ordered to move on to Portsmouth, which they did.
After being at Portsmouth for a few days, they were moved on to Cabbin Point, where they were stationed for a short time. At this place the regiment erected large tents of green pine trees with much regularity as to arrangement. The manner of arrangement was such as is commonly used in laying off a town, as the tents were built in rows with streets between them. The soldiers named this place Green Town, by which name it is still known.
From Green Town, they were marched to Petersburgh, VA., and remained there until the term for which they had volunteered had expired. At this place, the regiment was reviewed by General Stuben, after which the soldiers were discharged, but were told to be ready to report for service when called.
Joseph Jared enlisted again as a volunteer in 1781, at the same place
as before under Captain Elgin. The regiment was marched to Richmond,
thence to Glouster, near Little York, where it joined the main army under
the command of General Washington, and there engaged in the Battle of Little
York. Here the regiment remained until after the surrender of Cornwallis.
At the close of the war, Joseph was discharged from the army. After
he was discharged from his first service, and before he again enlisted,
he married Martha Agnes Beard at Bedford County, VA. The date of
this marriage being October 23, 1780

Joseph Jared emigrated from Virgina about 1810 and located his farm on the ridge at a point known as Low Gap.

40. Nathaniel Evans.
Notes for Nathaniel Evans:
I'm looking for information regarding ancestors of my GGG Grandfather,
Nathanial Evans, b. 1756 Botetourt County, VA., d. 1826, White County,
TN., m. Mary Reynolds.
Nathanial was a soldier in Revolutionary War. He commanded Evans Battalion
and was one of the heroic figures who turned the tide at King’s Mountain.
According to family legend, in 1776 he rescued John Sevier from a trial
of high treason, following the demise of the State of Franklin, of which
he was Governor. (Sevier later became the first Governor of Tennessee.)
While I can document my direct line from Nathanial through his son Col. Severe Evans (named after Nathanial's close friend John Sevier), I know nothing about his ancestors, or of any other possible children. His father may also have been a Nathanial Evans.
Nathanial married Mary Reynolds in 1800 (when he was 44) and my line descends from their son Severe Evans. Since he married Mary so late in life, I’ve often wondered if he might have been married before. (That’s just speculation, of course).
