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 Margaret Adkins about 1842. Margaret (daughter of Noah Adkins and Mima Adkins) was born in Wythe County, , , Virginia; died in May 1864 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There are reports from Roscoe DeLoach, Sr., and Charlotte Lance DeLoach that Margaret Atkins was married prior to wedding Nathan DeLoach.

In the 1840 Carter County census, there is a Margaret King who is the head of this household:

Margaret King Males 1(0-5), 1(10-15)
Females 1(0-5), 1(5-10), 1(20-30), 1(70-80)

In the 1850 Carter County Census listing for the Nathan DeLoach household, Joseph L. King, 9 years old, is listed following Nathan's sons Samuel and William. Margaret is 38. There is another King household in the 1850 Carter County census:

Albert S. King 25 VA
Elizabeth King 17 VA

Unlike the other households, this one does not have a marriage date listed, which would leave you to be believe that Albert and Elizabeth are siblings. If Margaret were the mother of Albert, Elizabeth and Joseph, she would only be 13 years older that Albert. Perhaps she was the second wife to the father of Albert and Elizabeth. So, all of this leaves open the questions, is this the same Margaret that married Nathan DeLoach, and if so, who was her first husband and what happened to him?

In 1860, Joseph King is living with Mary Kendrick, and Albert King appears to be married to a 40 year old Nancy..

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 DeLoach is descended from Michel DesLoges, a French Huguenot who arrived in America in about 1664. The DesLoges family had escaped France during the time that the Huguenots were suffering from religious intolerance, and often state sponsored abuse and imprisonment. Their escape route is not known, but the family arrived in England between 1600 and 1660. Michel DesLoges may have been born in England. Whether or not, he did live there long enough to obtain trade skills as a tailor, and learn the English language. He obtained passage to America out of Bristol, England, and settled in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. There, he had the good fortune to meet and marry Jane Griffith, the only child of wealthy land owner Rowland Griffith. In his will, dated 9 August 1671, he gave 'all of my estate to Jane DesLoges, my only daughter , now wife unto Michaell Desloges, taylor'. Michel DesLoges anglicised his name to Michael DeLoach. He and Jane had three sons that grew to maturity, and possibly some daughters. The large estate that they inherited and developed was passed to their descendants, who also acquired considerable land and wealth. The family spread southward along the Atlantic seaboard, establishing large plantations in Surry County, Virginia, and Edgecombe and Bertie (later Northampton) Counties, North Carolina. One branch of the family left Edgeconbe County in 1791 and moved to the Southwest Territory into what would become Dickinson and Sumner Counties, Tennessee. From there, these DeLoach families moved to Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi. Other descendants of the first North Carolina DeLoach family moved further south through South Carolina to Georgia. In South Carolina, there were clans of DeLoach families in Camden, Kershaw, Edgefield, Hampton and Saluda Counties. The history of these families can be found in the following publications:
'Historic Southern Families', John Bennett Bodie
'The DesLoges Family', Joseph Earle Steadman
'Some Historic Families of South Carolina', Frampton Earle Ellis
'DeLoach Family History', Robert Ellis Colson
As in most states during the early history of America, civil records such as birth, marriage and death certificates were not required in South Carolina until the early 1900's. The identification of family descendants is possible only if they are mentioned in wills, land transactions, or other official documents. It is possible for two professional genealogists to take the same raw information and develop completely different family structures because of the lack of definitive civil records. Additionally, if a son were to leave home upon reaching majority, and move to a new state never to return to his birth place, he might not even be mentioned in his parents' wills. For these reasons, the exact ancestry of John DeLoach has not yet been determined. The first records of John DeLoach in Tennessee appear in Sullivan County. In the Sullivan County Deed Book #6, 1809-1815, John Delock (sic) is a witness for the transfer of 100 acres on Frederick Kealler's Line from The United States of America, Stephen Walling, to Jonathan Carrier, dated 2 Oct 1810. In the 1812 Sullivan County Tax List, there appears to be two records of John DeLoach, one in Captain King's Military District, and one in Captain William Scott's District. John DeLoach and his family are listed in the 1840 Sullivan CountyCensus. Any other record of the DeLoach family in Sullivan County was probably destroyed when the court house burned in 1863. Records of the DeLoach family start appearing in Carter County in the 1830's. John DeLoach is listed on the 1834 Tax List, owning 126 acres. Susan DeLoach married Amos Wilson, 17 Nov 1834. Martha DeLoach married Eli Phillips, 11 Apr 1837. Thomas DeLoach married Perlina Oliver, 6 Oct 1842. Nancy DeLoach married John Hicks, 5 Mar 1845. John DeLoach and his family are listed on the 1850 Census.

The presence of records for the DeLoach family in Carter and Sullivan Counties during the 1830-1840 time frame leads to two possibilities:
a. There were two John DeLoach families in Northeastern Tennessee.
b. John DeLoach owned property in both counties. Resolving this conflict will be difficult, as no deed, land grant or other property transfer record for John DeLoach in either county has been found.

Notes:

In his Guion Miller Eastern Cherokee Roll Application, dated 19 Aug 1907, Samuel C. DeLoach named Phoebe Wallen as the wife of his grandfather, John DeLoach. He also stated that she was born on Wallen's Ridge, Virginia.
