I've been tracing a Selvey (later Selvia) family in Campbell Co. Tenn. -- on the border with Kentucky. Frank and Susan were born in Georgia but moved to Tennesee, possibly with their mother, Elizabeth. Some of Susan's children were born in Kentucky. Another Selvey, Lon, may be an uncle or another brother, Alonzo. Lon married a woman from Kentucky and lived there for a time. All the men were coal miners.
I'm interested in Georgia Selvey who married David Warren before 1905. They later lived in Colorado Springs.
1900 Census. Tennessee, Campbell County, 10th district, Wooldridge, p34:
Frank Selvey, b Feb 1856 in Georgia; Coal Miner, 4 months unemployed, rented a home, r/w/speak english
Married in 1877 to
Sanlifia(?), b Apr 1855 in Georgia (had 7 children; 6 living)
children:
Robert, b 9/1877, coal miner
Joseph, b 6/1881, coal miner
Georgia, b Mar 1884
Nora?, b 6/1887
Thomas, b 7/1889
In the 1910 census, Frank had remarried and his name is spelled Selva.
Frank's sister?:
Susan Elizibeth, b 10/25/1859, Blue Ridge, GA (Fannin Co.) -d 7 Oct 1940. Buried in Douglas Cem., Wooldridge, Campbell County, Tennessee.
Married Taylor Poff - 1910 census in Wooldrige p. 9
Mother?: Elizibeth Jane Selvia, b 10/20/1834-d 11/24/1918Buried in Douglas Cemetery, Wooldridge, Campbell County, Tn
Another Selvey in the neighborhood in 1900:
(Wooldridge, p29)
Lon Selvey b 1849 in GA, coal miner
Almedia? b 1852 in KY
son, John b 1879 in KY
Their other children were Vivian, Cecil, Maggie, Challey (Charlie?), and Latti (?).
In 1920 John Selvy was 41, married to Lizzie and had seven children. He was still living in Wooldridge and he was still a coal miner.
