Sophrona Orange:
1835 - Yearby Orange was born on December
31, 1793[liii] in Cumberland, VA and died January 6, 1852 in
Simpson County, Ky. He married Saphrona Jones,
born in 1796, died 1870. They were married in Cumberland, VA in
1816. They had 13 children with Yearby Newton Orange being
my direct ancestor. Yearby could have been derived from
New Year Baby since he was born on Dec. 31. It is thought that Yearby was
married between 1814 and 1817 in Smith County Tennessee due to the ages of
his children. Yearby Orange served in the First
Regiment (Col. Philip Pipkin), Capt. James
Blakemore's Company, as a 6th Corporal. He enlisted 20 June 1814 and was
mustered out 2 Feb. 1815. He was paid for 7 months and 13 days at $10 per
month or $74.90.[liv] Yearby (Irby) Orange was a juror in
Smith County, Tenn. on Feb 10, 1817.[lv] The four sons including Yearby
Orange show up in the 1820 Smith County Tennessee Census. Yearby and his
wife are between 16 and 26 years of age with a son under 10 and two females
under 10 and one other female between 16 and 26.[lvi] It is thought that Yearby was
married between 1814 and 1817 in Smith County Tennessee due to the ages of
his children. All records before 1838 in Smith County
courthouse were destroyed by fire and the marriage certificate cannot be
located. The county was formed in 1799 and the courthouse that burned was
built in 1804. Since Yearby's wife was
born in Virginia and Zephaniah was married in Virginia in 1813, Yearby could
also have been married in either Tenn. or VA. Smith County on Feb. 1819 ordered John
Gordon to use a hammer and crowbar to construct roads which included the road
leading from Orange's to James Mosses.[lvii] Yearby later sold land to John
Gordon. In 1824 Yearby was listed in
the Smith County church and then in 1828 Sophronia was
listed as one of the female members.[lviii] In the 1830 Tennessee
Census, Yearby does not show up nor does Byrd. They also do not
show up in the Kentucky Census. Byrd Orange sold Yearby 37 acres in
Smith County Tenn. on Nov. 24, 1834.[lix] Yearby sold John Gordon 37 acres on April 28, 1837[lx] and sold his belongings and possible land to
Champion T. Thomas on May 6, 1837.[lxi] Yearby shows up in the 1840 and 1850 Smith County
census so he must have had other land. It is thought that the Orange family
owned land near the present day Gordonsville exit off I-40. In 1837, Y. Orange signed a
petition regarding the county line between Smith and Cannon.[lxii] On October 20, 1837 Yearby
Orange delivered the mail. He received $100 to $600 annually
based on the route.[lxiii] In the 1840 Tennessee
Census Yearby shows up (spelled Yirby)
in Smith County and no Oranges show up in Kentucky. In the 1850 Smith County Tennessee
Census Yearby is shown as 55 years old, born in Virginia and
married to Sofrona Jones also 55 and born
in Virginia. They have the following listed: ·
Frances 28
all born in Tennessee ·
Cornelia Ann
24, m. R.D. Bell, 1/18/48, Lebanon TN[lxiv] ·
Eliza 18,
Elizabeth w. born 1833 ·
Sophronia 15 ·
Sophrona 12 Three attending school and one married
within the year. It is thought that Newton's name is
really Yearby Newton. Sophrona Jones father was Benjamin Jones who died on
March 23, 1843. In the will Sophrona's name
is mentioned.[lxv] There is an interesting letter[lxvi] that tells about Yerby and
his wife Sophronia. It adds additional
children and some names don't match the 1850 census. "They had eight
children: 3 sons - Benjamin, Albert, & Newton; 5 daughters - Nealy, Nancy, Amanda, Sophronia,
and Catherine Greene". In the 1850 Kentucky Census there is 5
Oranges listed. ·
Albert
Butler ·
Benjamin
Butler son of Yearby born 1831, TN ·
Bird Butler
brother of Yearby ·
William J
Butler ·
Zephaniah Caldwell
brother of Yearby. Butler means the county in Kentucky. In January 6,
1852 Yearby Orange at the age of 58 in Simpson County, KY.[lxvii] It is thought that he died shortly after
moving to Kentucky. This part of Simpson County is thought to later have been
changed to Butler County. There is an Old Orange cemetery that has the grave
of Byrd Orange and other Oranges. Yearby may be buried there. The cemetery is
south of hwy 626 on highway 79. Go about
one mile south on 79, cross a creek bridge, second driveway on the right.
This driveway or road is owned by James Oberhausen. Proceed up the drive for
about two miles. As the road veers right at the top of a hill on the right
are two pillars with a metal gate. This is the cemetery and it is badly
overgrown with trees, bushes, etc. Yearby's grave
could not be identified, however there are rocks and tombstones which cannot
be read. There is a second Orange cemetery where
Owen Orange and his father William Franklin Orange are buried. Albert's son
George gave the land and it is known as the George Orange Cemetery. Owen has
a grave stone, however he said he marked his father with a rock. There are
rocks next to Owen's grave stone. There are many other Oranges here and some
unidentifiable. The directions are to turn right off of highway 79 going
north at 626, Davis Crossroads. The Orange Cemetery road sign is now gone.
The cemetery is about four miles on the left and the caretaker is David
Graham who is a distant cousin. He lives in the house just east of the
cemetery on the left.
Related Orange Records: Zephaniah Orange married Elizabeth R.
Melton on Feb 21, 1813 in Cumberland County Va. Byrd Orange was a farmer. He served as a
Private in Captain James Tubb's Company,
2nd Reg't. West Tennessee Militia in the War
of 1812, from September 20, 1814 to April 10, 1815. His pay was $8.00 per
month.[lxviii] He died on May 8, 1859 and is buried in
"Old" Orange cemetery in Butler County. Zephaniah also served at
the same time. On August 27, 1823 Zephaniah Orange and Elizabeth
R. Orange were recorded as neighbors in John Farmer's divorce proceedings in
Smith County, TN.[lxix] This site has a map of Tennessee and
Kentucky about 1830. http://www.tngenweb.org/maps/tnky1835.htm John Orange is shown as giving security
for Hector Sanford on 3/8/1830 in Mason County, Ky. for a Minister Bond
(Methodist).[lxx] On Oct. 17, 1846 Zephaniah Orange sold
75 acres in Smith County to Jeremiah Agee for $275.[lxxi] There is a Nancy Nichols Orange listed
as a daughter to Yearby who was born in TN in 1827. Last
