Life

John A. Veazey was born in Montgomery County, Alabama, on 4 September 1823, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place and does not name his parents.1 He married Nancy McKinney, a daughter of Eli McKinney, in Chambers County, Alabama, in January 1845; the county index entries give the date as 3 or 5 January.2 The tree names eight children, born between 1847 and 1861, among them James Harrison (1850–1917), Jacob "Jake" Madison (1852–1926) and Jane Elizabeth Veazey (1855–1940).3 The federal censuses of 1850, 1860 and 1870 list him, as John A. Veasy, Veasey and Veazy, as the head of a household in Chambers County, with his wife Nancy each time; in 1860 the family was in the county's Northern Division and in 1870 at Fredonia.4 The census slave schedule of 1860, the separate return that listed enslaved people under the names of those who held them, also includes John A. Veasey.5 On 30 November 1865 his daughter Mary Ann married Leonard H. Lawrence, and he is named in the county record of the marriage.6 His wife died on 16 April 1888.7 John A. Veazey died in Chambers County on 19 June 1889 and was buried in the Fredonia Methodist Church Cemetery.8 He is named as father in the death records of his sons James H. Veazy (1917) and Jacob Madison Viozey (1926) in Alabama, and of his daughter Jane Elizabeth Veazey Buttrill in Texas in 1940.9
