  • Notes 
    • Ephraim's descendants have done a good job tracing his movements.

      In 1820 he is listed in the Spartanburg County Census but by 1833 he shows up in the southern part of Illinois (Union County). Around 1840 he is Ripley County, MO (near the Arkansas border). Then over to Taney County, MO before 1850. His widow and children show up in Schulyer County and McLean County, Illinois and in Barry County, Missouri.

      The Pettits and Hembrees attended the Goucher Baptist Church together. Rachel is the daughter of Joshua Pettit 3rd (d.1827).

      Ephraim received from his father-in-law 100 acres above the Pacolet River (will proved 20 Aug 1827) but on 4 Dec 1827 he sold the land to Edward Patterson for $100. The will (giving the land to Rachel) and the land deed (dower released by Rachel) prove that Ephraim's wife was Rachel Pettit.

      The land was part of a 620 acre grant originally laid out in 1788 for Joshua Pettit and Old John Hembree.

      Ephraim Hembree was a witness to a deed involving the family of William W. Hembree and Joel b.1755 Hembree. Joel b.1755 Hembree was Joshua Pettit's brother-in-law and he acted for Wiiliam W. Hembree's estate in another land deal on 13 Feb 1826 (selling to Ephraim Story the land he was then living on). Ephraim Hembree was a witness to this deed as were Isaiah and Polly Hembree - son and daughter-in-law of William W. Hembree. (Three different Hembree lines on one document.) [4]
