Part one of my blog concluded with the third child of Samuel and Anna Greenwade named John Jackson. Here is part two and more of what I was able to find on the Greenwade family.

The fourth child was a daughter named Sarah Ann.  Born on March 31 1820, Sara Ann was 15 when she would meet James Milton Hall.

​

James Milton was born on Feb 12, 1813 in Virginia. He was one of twenty one (yes you read that right!) children in the family of Edward Jesse and Amelia Mildred "Milly" (Garrett) Hall.  James worked as blacksmith while also doing other miscellaneous repair services. 

 

According to author Tom Rizzo whose written stories of the west can be found on his website https://tomrizzo.com

​

Men who worked as Blacksmiths, "Used their special skills to forge wrought iron, or steel, into a wide array of objects, such as: agricultural implements, cooking utensils, tools, chains, chisels, gates, and even weapons.  In some communities, blacksmiths earned more than physicians. Union and Confederate armies employed traveling blacksmiths to shoe horses, and repair equipment, and artillery components."

​

James and Sarah were married on October 7th 1836 in Nicholas, Kentucky.  They raised a family of nine children,  five girls and four boys.

FYI: The average life expectancy of a man in 1860 was around 35-40, but James lived to age 65 passing away on November  26 1874. His wife Sara lived until age 85 passing away on March 10, 1906, just one month and five days before the big earthquake of San Francisco on April 15th!

​

The couple are buried in Machpelah Cemetery, Mt. Sterling Kentucky

The fifth child born to Samuel and Anne Greenwade was a boy they named Issac. Born on February 8 1821, Issac worked as a farmer in the town of Cadiz, Montgomery Kentucky.  During the Civil War, Cadiz was a base of Union and Confederate operations. The origin of the town's name is obscure but is of Spanish origin.

​

On June 1, 1841 Issac married Elizabeth Cain. Born on February 4 1825  Elizabeth was one of three daughters in the family of Thomas and Maria Virginia (Burnett) Cain.  Elizabeth and Issac raised a family of 11 children!
