Welcome to Pete Brown, P.O. Box 965, Dalton, GA
30722-0965 who is descended from Perlina (Pearline) Moreland Douglas Roach, the daughter of Hardin Moreland. We
believe that Hardin is a descendant of Thomas Moreland of Monroe Co., Tennessee. Thomas was the son of Wright Moreland of Goochland Co., Virginia.

MORELAND
MAIL
The following excerpts are from a letter Carol
Sapp sent to Charles Moreland. He sent
them to me with Carol's permission for publication. In her letter, Carol explains how she
acquired these old letters which will certainly be of interest to those
researching the Morelands of Carter Co., Tennessee.
Dear Charles,
....When my uncle (actually my aunt's widowed husband)
passed away in Johnson City, TN, earlier this year I asked his nephew/executor
if he would send me anything about my aunt's family history which he found
among their things. He recently sent
along a box of papers which included three letters addressed to my
great-grandfather, Nathaniel T. Buck (18 September 1845-3 December 1914 s/o
Jonathan and Margaret Susanna Moreland Buck) written to him by his uncle, W.L. Moreland of Onset, Marion County, Arkansas. BINGO!
W.L. has to be William Layfayette/Layfette(?) Moreland, son of Wright and Margaret Moreland and youngest brother of Margaret
Susanna. William Layfette was born in
1841 so he would have been only four years older than his nephew,
Nathaniel. That might explain why he
wrote to him rather than to Jonathan, who was his (W.L.'s) brother-in-law. They (W.L. and Nathaniel) were probably boys
together before W.L. left Tennessee in the mid-1850's with his parents, Wright
and Margaret.
I have transcribed the letters with spelling and
punctuation as found in the letters.
Evidently there had been some periodic contact between the families
since leaving Carter County [Tennessee].
The first letter was written in 1893 and mentioned a continuing
correspondence. W.L. asks to be
remembered to Nathaniel's father which leads me to believe that Margaret
Susanna must have already died or he would have certainly
mentioned her also. I don't have a death
date for her. Maybe it was not too long
before the first letter and he is trying to indicate that he wants to maintain
the ties even though his sister is gone.
The second letter was sent in 1902 and the third in 1904. Evidently he had not received replies to his
earlier letters and there is a plaintive insistence as he repeatedly requests
that they "writ" soon. He also
mentions "Rhody" who was Nathaniel's younger sister and
therefore W.L.'s niece. She must have
visited Arkansas and Missouri at some time.
According to my mother, "Aunt Rhody" married a man named Carroll and moved to Texas when she was quite
young. There was a divorce and she
returned to Tennessee after a few years.
Divorces were considered scandalous and were almost unheard of in those
days, so the family (at least Nathaniel) never accepted her after that from
what Mother remembers. Perhaps that's
one of the reasons he never answered W.L.'s letters since W.L. asked for
information about Rhoda in each of them.
On the other hand, Nathaniel must have had some intention of writing or
he probably wouldn't have saved the letters--there were no others among the
papers I received.
Another interesting item I gleaned from the
letters was that Marion County [Arkansas] was mining country--zinc I
believe. As I understand it, the
tradition was that Wright and Margaret [Moreland] were headed for California
and gold mining country. Could it be
that they were actually going "west" to Arkansas and the zinc
mines? That may be reaching a little,
but who knows? A move to California
seems pretty ambitious for a couple in their mid-fifties which Wright and
Margaret were when they left Tennessee.
As we know, they didn't survive the trip that far if that was their
destination, but what if they were headed for Arkansas all along?....

May 28, 1990--NOTE: The following letters which were sent to my
great-grandfather Nathaniel Buck (1845-1914) were found among papers
saved by my aunt Iona Buck (Mrs. Albert Pate of Johnson City, Tennessee who
died July 28, 1987. They came to me
along with other old papers after my uncle's death March 26, 1990. Carol Sapp, 5110 Atherton St., #42, Long
