Halliburton Surname

David Halliburton was born circa 1727 in Scotland ¹. He died in 1767 in Orange Co., North Carolina ¹.

In the year 1746, David came to the American colonies, possibly as a student. He immediately came to Virginia and settled on a farm in Mecklenburg County. It was there, circa 1752, that he married Amey Humphreys. Together they had 6 children: David (see next generation), John, Charles, William, Thomas, and Margaret.

In about 1760, David moved his family to Orange County, North Carolina. David died there sometime in the year 1767 (he wrote his will on January 3, 1767 and it was proved in the probate court in August 1767). Afterwards, David's widow remarried to James Jones.

Amey was probably the daughter of John Humphreys.

In about 1760, he moved with his family to Orange County, North Carolina and was raised there. After his father's death in 1767, he inherited half of his land in that county. During that time and the 1770's, he also lived in Caswell County, North Carolina. It was in about 1773, that David was married to Lucy Reynolds. During the American Revolution, David served under General Greene in the South Carolina campaigns and was at the Battle of Yorktown. During the war he sold his lands in Orange County and afterwards moved with his family to Wake County, North Carolina.

Together, David and Lucy had 13 children: John, Martin (see next generation), William, David, Nancy, Samuel, Ambrose, Mary, Margaret, Amy, Thomas, Lucetta and Gilly. David lived with his family in Wake County, NC, until 1806, when he moved out west and settled in Humphreys County, Tennessee. He lived there from 1806 until 1834, at which time he moved to Henderson County, Tennessee, then after his wife Lucy died there in 1835, he seems to have immediately moved to Gibson County, Tennessee. In about 1842, David moved to De Soto County, Mississippi, where he died on January 13, 1843, at the age of 89. It is said that David possessed a deep Scottish brogue and was supposed to have been a very kind man. Aside from farming, he also served as a Justice of the Peace and High Sheriff in Humphreys County, Tennessee. He was buried in the Halliburton Cemetery, De Soto County, Mississippi.

After the marriage, the couple moved to Wake County, North Carolina, but only lived there for one year. In 1804, Martin moved with his wife and child to Tennessee, where they settled on Yellow Creek in Dickson County.

Together, Martin and Frances had 18 children: Reuben, William, Esther, Peggy, Samuel, Eliza, Nancy, Joseph, Chrissie, Simeon, George (see next generation), Lemuel, Martin, Lindley, Frances, John, Lucy and David. Sadly seven of those children died in infancy or childhood. Martin was very successful in Dickson County, Tennessee, where he had a large plantation. He also taught school in Dickson County. While living there, he served in the War of 1812. He was a sergeant in the company of Captain Joseph Williams, he participated in the sieges of Pensacola, Florida, and at New Orleans. He enlisted in 1814 and was discharged in 1815. Martin was also a land surveyor, was a juror, and a member of the Grant Jury of the Circuit Court.

In 1852, Martin moved to Randolph County, Missouri, where he and his wife settled near the town of Jacksonville. Martin was a staunch member of the Democratic political party and also an ardent member of the Baptist church. Martin died on February 9, 1860 in Randolph County, Missouri. His widow Frances died in 1867.

Frances was the daughter of John Turner and Elizabeth Dillard.

George Coffee Halliburton was born on February 20, 1816 in Dickson County, Tennessee ^1,2. He died on May 1, 1878 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee ^1,2. He is buried in the Sango Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Tennessee.

Father: Martin Halliburton
Mother: Frances Turner

George spent his youth on the family estate off of the Yellow Creek in Dickson County, Tennessee. At the age of 20, George enlisted to serve in the Seminole Indian War in Captain Tatum's Regiment. His term of service lasted from 1836 to 1837, he being mustered out at New Orleans. George returned home to his family in Tennessee at the time. In 1839, he made a trip with Edward Rogers (who married his sister Lucy the following year) from Clarksville, Tennessee, to New Orleans, Louisiana. Immediately after he returned from his trip, George decided to settle in Montgomery County, Tennessee, where his brother William D. Halliburton was living. At that time (1839), he purchased 100 acres of land from William, which was several miles east of the city of Clarksville. The following year he married Mary Grant, the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner who lived farther east near the small town of Port Royal.

In 1840, George and Mary were enumerated in the household of his brother William D. Halliburton. In that same year, George enlarged the log cabin built during the 1790's that was on the land that he purchased. Eventually, George's brother William moved on to Missouri, but his sisters Nancy and Chrissie moved to Montgomery County with their families. George developed quite a large plantation during his lifetime and was financially successful. George is also reputed to have been responsible for the construction of the small community of Sango, east of Clarksville. Aside from being a plantation owner, he also owned and operated a general store at his home. This store and also some land he donated for the Sango Cemetery as well as the Presbyterian Church became the "center" of Sango. One story indicates that the name "Sango" derives from one of the products that he sold in his general store: ginseng root. It was supposed to be the place where you "go to get your gin-SANG."

Although George and his family were wealthy, they did not escape the ravages of horrible disease. In the spring of 1870, George's wife Mary and unmarried daughter of the same name both died from an unknown illness. George remarried in 1871 to Sylvester, widow of J.D. Wall. Then in May of 1878, George died, possibly as a result of the Yellow Fever Epidemic of that summer that ravaged the country. Later that summer, four of his grandchildren died within a week of each other from this horrible disease. George's widow continued to live on the Halliburton estate at Sango for the rest of her life. In 1895, she owned 100 acres.

One source indicates that George and Mary were married on February 17, 1840 ¹ while the Montgomery County marriage records indicate that their marriage license was issued on December 16, 1840 ⁷. Using both of these sources, an educated guess is that their marriage was performed on December 17, 1840.

David was a farmer, but primarily made a living working as a carpenter. David and Margaret first lived on a farm east of Clarksville in District 12. Sometime prior to 1895, they moved to Clarksville where they purchased a house on Current Street. Four of David's children died within a week of each other during the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878. Only one of their children, Annie, survived to adulthood.

5	Calvin Halliburton was born circa 1848 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 5. He died after 1878. Calvin is listed in some records as a survivor of his father in 1878. Yet we know nothing of Calvin after his enumeration in the 1870 census. He may have been the Calvin Halliburton who married Annie B. Smith on November 17, 1874 in Perry Co., Tennessee 6. Also, there was a C. Halliburton, aged 31 born in TN who was enumerated in the 1880 census in Montgomery Co., Tennessee. He is listed with a wife by the name of "Arrona C." No further information.

(She was born on June 3, 1856 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 6 and died on October 10, 1884 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 6. She is buried in the Nicholson Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Tennessee.) They had the following children: Robert Craig Halliburton (1877-1956) md. Susie Lemmie Anderson Mary Alice Halliburton (1881-1952) md. James Thomas Elliott
7	Samuel Turner Halliburton was born on October 16, 1858 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 2. He died on July 24, 1901 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 2. He is buried in the Sango Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Tennessee. He married Margaret Geraldine Rudolph on February 13, 1890 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 6. (She was born on June 4, 1860 in Tennessee 2 and died on December 10, 1953 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee 2. She is buried in the Sango Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Tennessee.) They had the following children: Calvin Troy Halliburton (1890-1876) md. Louise Edmondson Josephine Vesta Halliburton (1893-1991) md. James Newton Paschall Margie Geraldine Halliburton (1895-1993) md. William Emmet Cocke Samuel was the only Halliburton child to remain in Sango. After his father's death, he continued to run the Sango general store and with his step-mother continued to run the family farm. Aside from this, Samuel was also an artist, furniture maker and photographer. In 1895, he owned 207 acres at Sango.

Her name may have originally been Sylvestra (or something to that effect) but was always listed with the male version of the name. Her place of origin and parentage is unknown. In 1850, she was living in Montgomery Co., Tennessee with the family of John and Elizabeth Lemmons. Since no other family is present, she may have been orphaned. Different census records list Tennessee, Louisiana, and Mississippi as her place of birth. On March 14, 1852 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee, she married James H. Wall who was a carpenter and also a Justice of the Peace. He died sometime between 1861-1870. She had no children by either of her marriages. After her brief marriage to George Halliburton, she continued to run the family estate at Sango, Tennessee. In 1895, she owned 100 acre there.

Elizabeth Grant Halliburton was born on January 5, 1842 in Montgomery County, Tennessee ^1,2. She died on January 10, 1875 in Montgomery Co., Tennessee ². She is buried in the Sango Cemetery, Montgomery Co., Tennessee.

Father: George Coffee Halliburton
Mother: Mary Grant

Elizabeth was apparently named after her mother's sister Elizabeth Grant Northington who had died in 1840 at the age of 20. She probably went by the pet name "Lizzie." Elizabeth appears to have spent the entirety of her life in Montgomery County, Tennessee, on different farms that were east of Clarksville. She was born and raised on a plantation at the small community known as Sango. In 1859, at the age of 17, Elizabeth was married to Hugh Current, a young man from North Carolina. They began living on a farm somewhere in the general vicinity of Sango. In 1860, Hugh and Elizabeth owned one slave. On one list Elizabeth is listed as a member of the McDow congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Other members included her mother, sister Mary, and brother Allen.

Elizabeth had eight children, yet she sadly buried two of them in her lifetime. Although her family was wealthy, they did not escape tragic death. She lost her mother and only sister in 1870. On January 10, 1875, Elizabeth died just 5 days after her 33rd birthday. Her husband remarried soon after to a widow named Margaret Peterson, who helped to raise Elizabeth's children.
