Pat, I'm a direct descendant of John G. Ishmael and Jane Wyatt through their son, Hiram Wyatt "Harm" Ishmael, and his wife, Tennessee Alabama "Tennie" Nelson. Their daughter, Lola Elmira Ishmael Graddy, was my grandmother.She lived with us up until the time she died in 1986 and the age of 95.She talked about her grandmother, Jane Wyatt Ishmael, quite a bit because Jane lived to a ripe old age and my grandmother remembered her since she was in her teens when Jane died in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Craighead County. She never called her Nancy but that may have been her first name.She always called her Jane.
I recently found info on the Mormon genealogical site that indicates Jane Wyatt Ishmael's parents as being:
James Wyatt (born 1789 Greenbriar County, VA, died January 23, 1865, in Anderson County, Tennessee, that he married Margaret Scarborough or Scarbrough, July 1, 1807, in Anderson County, Tennessee)--this would make the time line right since Jane Wyatt Ishmael was born Oct 1809/13/25 (depending on which census one believes) in Tennessee.
The info I obtained shows James Wyatt's parents to be Thomas T. Wyatt and Rachel Burnsides or Byrnside and shows Margaret Scarborough's parents to be David Scarborough and Elizabeth Anderson.The following children are given:
Jane Wyatt, Sinah N. Wyatt Winchester, Thomas C. Wyatt, Adaline Wyatt, Clarinda Wyatt, Caroline Wyatt, Elizabeth Wyatt, and William Wyatt.
The John G. Ishmael Jr. you mention was an older brother to my Hiram Wyatt Ishmael and he did marry Barbara Gambill.An older sister to Hiram, Sidney Neely Ishmael, married Barbara's brother, Joe W. Gambill.I have talked to Sidney and Joe's descendants who still live in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Hiram, John G. Ishmael Jr. and Sidney Neely Ishmael were three of the ten children of John G. Ishmael Sr. and Jane Wyatt.The others were Mary, William R. Pinckney, James Pleasant "Ples," Elmira Jane, Henry C., Ann E.J., and Sophia P.
Do you have any other information on all this?I will gladly share anything on our Ishmael family.
