2. | Nathaniel DeLoach was born about 1814 in Sullivan County, , , Tennessee (son of John DeLoach and Phebe Wallen); died on 27 Feb 1901 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Deloach Cemetery, Deloach Road, Carter County, Tennessee. Notes: Nathaniel DeLoach was probably named after General Nathaniel Taylor, famous war hero and early settler of Northeastern Tennessee. Nathan began working in the iron foundaries operated by the Carter families when he was a young man. In the early days of these foundaries, much of the work was done by slave labor under the supervision of white foremen. At some point, Nathan DeLoach probably became one of these foremen. It is interesting to note that several of the slaves that were given their freedom by the Carters assumed the DeLoach surname. In the 1850 Carter County Census, Nathan DeLoach and his wife Margaret Atkins (King ?) are listed on the census takers worksheet next to Evilina B. Carter, the widow of Alfred Moore Carter, who was probably the wealthiest resident of Carter County at that time. This means that they were either living on the Carter Estate, or living in a next door house. The close relationship between the Carters and Nathan DeLoach is evident from other events. Nathan named the sons he had by Margaret Atkins after two of Alfred M. Carters sons: Samuel Powhatan Carter, who was a famous Civil War Union Army General, Commandant of the U.S. Naval Academy, and the only military officer in U.S. history to hold the rank of Army General and Navy Admiral. William Blount Carter, a graduate of Princeton University, a Presbyterian minister, an organizer of the Union Bridge Burners during the Civil War, and a member of the 1870 Constitutional Convention in Nashville. Following the death of Margaret Atkins, Nathan left the home he had inherited from his father to his son William. Following his marriage to Elizabeth Grindstaff, he bought land from William Blount Carter, who at that time was the executor of his mother's will. This land adjoined the farms of the other descendants of John DeLoach on the Old Siam Road in Carter County. Nathaniel married Elizabeth Grindstaff on 23 Sep 1865 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Elizabeth (daughter of Andrew Jackson "A.J." Grindstaff and Malinda Pritchett) was born about Sep 1843 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; died before 1920; was buried in Deloach Cemetery, Deloach Road, Carter County, Tennessee.

4. | John DeLoach was born about 1785 in Edgefield County, , , South Carolina (son of Michael Allison DeLoach and Dorcas Still); died after 1860 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Notes: Circumstantial evidence points to Michael Allison DeLoach being the father of John DeLoach. Court House fires during the Civil War in Sullivan County, Tennessee and in South Carolina probably destroyed any records which could provide proof of this relationship. Results from the ongoing DeLoach DNA Project are tending to substantiate the circumstantial evidence. John married Phebe Wallen about 1807 in Sullivan County, , , Tennessee. Phebe (daughter of Stephen Walling and Mary (Walling)) was born about 1786 in Wallen Ridge, , , Virginia; died after 1860 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
