second wife, not his first wife))
A new picture of Nathaniel Pipes from Burl Pipes of Johnson
City, Texas. Burl has corrected our previous dates for Nathaniel's death.
It was 1946, not 1956, so he was 88 years old at his death. His complete
name was John Nathaniel although he went by Nathaniel all of his life.

(JR) Pipes: These two fine gentlemen were the sons of Samuel
Pipes (1825 - 1910). Samuel was a son of Nathaniel Pipes (1783 - 1864), Nathaniel

Samuel, Lucille and Clyde. Probably taken about 1923. The youngest was
born in 1911 and looks to be about 10 or 11 year sold. The picture was taken in
Bates Co. Missouri on the Family farm near Altona. This picture was sent by Mary Margaret Pipes Moroney, a
daughter of Byron. I later learned this farm was a Scully-Lease farm,
Thanks to a grandson, Larry A. Pipes.
The Old Union Church at the
cemetery near Perryville and Gravel Switch, Kentucky. This church was built
by the Doctor's Fork community about 1801. It served until 1921 as a church
for the Presbyterians, the Baptists, the Methodists and others in the
neighborhood on alternating Sundays. In 1921 the Baptist took it over solely.
It survived until about 1971 as the Union Baptist Church, when it was torn
down. The cemetery still exists and there is an association to care for the
property. The graves of many Pipes, Harmons and Grays reside here, including
our John Pipes Jr. and his wife Mary Morris. These pictures are from a newspaper
article, so I apologize for the quality.
More Photos from the old Union Cemetery. These are from Barbara Thompson Klein. They include good shots of the grave markers for John Pipes Jr. and Mary Morris Pipes, a shot of the cemetery and one of the marker monument that was placed there by the family association after the church was torn down.

Isaac
Thomas Pipes and his wife Louisiana (Stone) Pipes: Isaac
was born in 1840 and Louisiana was born in 1844. These pictures must have
been taken about 1865. They were married in November of 1864 so possibly
they were taken then. Isaac served in the Civil War and was at Vicksburg
on that fateful day in July of 1863. There is more info on this couple on
the Civil War veterans page. Many, Many thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kilbourne
and their son Tresy for allowing us to share these beautiful pictures.

A great photo of
Alexander Pipes and Christina Sappenfield Pipes, his mother.
This photo looks to be a type that is more like a drawing, I
don't know the correct name for the type of picture. It was sent by Ron Pipes
of Indiana who tells me that the water line in the photo was caused by a
flood in 1937. Alexander was in his Civil War uniform, he was in the 12th
Kentucky Cavalry and we think it was taken about 1865. Alexander was the
son of Windsor Pipes ( who was a son of John Pipes of SW Penn.). Alexander
was b. 22 June 1843 and died Nov 3 1909. Christina was b. July 3 1805 and
died sometime after 1880. Windsor was b. Feb 6, 1798 and died Feb 23, 1860
A photo of Martha A. Pipes and two of her
daughters. Martha was a daughter of Morris Pipes (1799-1865) and Sallie
Montgomery. I do not know her birth and death dates yet but she married John
P. Howard and they raised eleven children. This family moved to Pike Co.
Indiana in 1861. The two daughters are Nan Howard Tindel on the left and
Mollie Howard Black on the right. This photo is one of the few that exist
of the grandchildren of John Pipes Jr. I assume that it was taken about 1870.
The Photo was graciously supplied by Mary Leinenbach of Jasper, Indiana.
Mary's husband Tom is a descendant of Martha Pipes and John Howard.
A Photo of Rhoda Pipes ( 1790-1876) .She was a

and his wife Eliza Jane Lindley (1834-1902). Alexander was the son of
Elizabeth Pipes and Phelan Phillips. Elizabeth was a daughter of Joseph
Pipes. This pair of photos was sent to me by Shirley Hamill.
This great Photo of Thomas Washington Pipes ( 1849-1921) was sent
by William Ward, a descendant of Thomas. He (Thomas) is a son of Charles
Pipes and Coromandel Kemp and was born and raised in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana.
Thomas was an Ordained Methodist Minister and was an elected Representative
to the Louisiana State Legislature during reconstruction, after the Civil
War. Information on Thomas Washington Pipes can be found in the genealogy
file of Abner Pipes.
Isaac Newton Pipes
and his brother, James H. Pipes. These photos were sent to me by
Larrie Spier Curry, who is a descendant of Isaac N. These brothers are grandsons
of Winsor Pipes (1740-1804) and sons of Abner Pipes (1773-1835) and his third
wife Mary Hynum. Both Isaac and James served in the Civil War, riding with
Nathan Bedford Forrest in the 4th Mississippi Cavalry. Isaac was b. ca 1830
and d.1880. James H, was b. 1827 and appears in the census records until
1870, so he may have died before then.
These two photos of David
Washington Pipes and his wife Anna Key Fort were sent to me by
Glenny Pipes Warzeski, who is a descendant. David W. was also in the Civil
War and was a grandson of Windsor Pipes ( 1740-1804). David's memoirs of
his life and the war may be found elsewhere on the page.
A photo of the "house that John
built". In the book "The lure and Lore of Limestone County" (
Alabama) there is a picture and a short story about the house that was built
about 1855 by John Pipes (1827-1889). This John was a great grandson of Phillip
Pipes and served in the Civil War in the 50th Alabama Infantry. The article
describes the house as being a "single-pen" log house. I am not sure of the
meaning of that term. The house was apparently still standing in the 1970's
and was being lived in at that time.
Another famous house in our history is the house at
Beech Grove plantation. This is the house described in the memoirs
of David Washington Pipes and was his birth place and his home until he moved
to New Orleans later in his life. The house burned after he moved to New
Orleans. The picture is from an old book on Louisiana plantation homes.
This photo is still somewhat of a mystery. It
was sent to us by Tim Pipes and his brother Chris. They are descendants of
Morris Pipes and Sallie Montgomery of Kentucky. They found the picture in
their father's papers and on the back it says "My great great grandmother
on the Pipes side". The question they have not been able to answer is who
wrote the message on the back? if it was their father , then the picture
is of Sallie Montgomery ( 1804-1884). If it was their grandfather, then the
picture is of Mary Morris Pipes (1760-1842). My opinion is that it is of
Sallie Montgomery because of the clothing, the age of the woman and the history
of photography. I think it was taken in the late 1850's to mid 1860's, but
I am no expert on dating photos and we are continuing to sort this one out.
If you know of someone who is an expert at dating photos, have them take
a look at this one for us. I am very grateful to Tim and Chris and their
family for sharing this with us. Note: Several people have had "Experts"
look at this picture and they are all dating it at mid 1860's. If true that
would mean this is a photo of Sallie Montgomery Pipes. It may have been taken
at the time of Morris's death, some have suggested that she may be wearing mourning
clothes.
This is a photo of Josephine Bonaparte
Edwards , who married my G Grandfather, Obediah Brumfield Pipes
in Kentucky after the Civil War. Her middle name is influenced by the fact
that her mother's side of the family were of Huguenot descent from Virginia.
She was born in 1849 and lived on a farm in Perryville, Kentucky and must
have been 13 years old during the battle of Perryville in 1862, when the
battle ripped through their property on the south side of the battlefield.
She and Obediah gave birth to 9 children between 1870 and 1885 and then Obediah
passed on in 1892 and Josephine died of pneumonia in 1894. The older daughters
raised the younger children, one of whom was my grandfather, James Franklin.
I owe the deepest debt of gratitude to the family of Frank Owens of
Danville, Kentucky for saving this picture and sharing it with us.

was a great granddaughter of Sylvanus Pipes and was born in Missouri in
1829 and died in Marceline, Linn Co., Missouri in 1892. She is descended

picture was taken in Boyle Co., Ky. Dr. Mastin Lee Pipes and his son James
Lee Pipes are in the back row. ( see entry above this one) Note: The house
in this picture may be the original home of William Pipes and Nancy Gray.
I have an article written by Nathan Pipes, a grandson of William and Nancy
and it suggests that George W. "stayed in Kentucky, on the old home place"
after all of his siblings moved on to Pike Co., Kentucky after William's
death in 1855. I corrected one of the children's names
and one of the son's names.

I am very grateful to Martha, Mary and Evelyn Pypes for these precious photos of William Columbus Pypes and his family and also for photos of Delos Edison Pypes his youngest son. William Columbus was the youngest son of William H. Pipes and Louisa Dutton of Union Parish, Louisiana.
William Columbus Pypes (1851 - 1915) Descent from
Abner, Joseph and William H.. He married Ann Gibbs in 1880. They
raised six children ( two died very young). They were: Defoe, Columbus Dewitt,
Annie G. and Delos Edison. William Columbus changed the spelling of
his last name from Pipes to Pypes sometime after 1870 and his
descendants have maintained it that way and have no intention of changing
it back. The reason for the change remains a mystery and speculation is that
he had a disagreement with his family. He left Louisiana after his marriage
to miss Gibbs and they lived in Kansas City and Chicago where he prospered
with the Armour Meat Packing Company. His family today remains mostly in
the Kansas City Area.
