132.  My family has been trying for years to determine who the parents were of Freeman GATEWOOD and Stephen GATEWOOD. Both were born in Virginia, and both married Noblin sisters. Freeman died in Weakley County, TN in 1892 (buried in Winstead Cemetery) and Stephen died in Weakley County, TN in 1878 and is buried in Palmersville. I believe both were born in York County, VA and had several other brothers and sisters. The two migrated to North Carolina some time around 1820 (possibly with their mother, who may have been named Lucy?) and then on to TN sometime between 1830 and 1835. We don't have any information on their father, and nothing definitive about their mother other than a census record that lists Lucy as head of household.  [email protected]

134.  I am trying to discover the parents of MOSES A DAVIS.  Moses is on the Weakley Co., 1840 census, pg. 299.  Jesse A. DAVIS is on p. 299 and JESSE DAVIS is on p. 298. The Weakley Co. Tax Book of 1842 for District 5 has JAMES  B. DAVIS, JESSE B. DAVIS, AND MOSES A. DAVIS.  MOSES DAVIS is on every tax role between 1842 to 1850.  He may be earlier but I didn't have earlier roles to examine.  Moses was born about 1821 in NC or KY.  His wife  was named ORINDA.  They moved to Ellis Co., TX in the 1850's.  I feel there is a good chance that Jesse was Moses's father because of age and  site of homes.  All Moses's children were girls so have no male name to consider.  I hope someone can help me.  Thank you.  June Hunter  [email protected]

215.  JOEL ROGERS - I’m wanting to know more about the Joel Rogers and his family who lived in Weakley County, TN on the 1830 Census.  He was to have purchased land, but it is my understanding that the land was already owned by another party.  Is there any connection between him and the other Rogers families that were in Weakley County at the time?  Is there a record of the names of his family members?  Also, is he the Joel Rogers who was mentioned in Blount Cooper’s will (from Henry County) which mentioned Whitmell Cooper and his wife Elizabeth Allen Rogers Cooper (daughter of Job Rogers).  Blount Cooper and a Joel Rogers were to have temporarily transferred ownership of a slave named Charles and others to Jubilee Rogers and John Rogers.  Apparently, later in a Dresden Court proceeding, Blount Cooper released Jubilee and John Rogers from holding the slaves any longer.  I would like to get a copy of those proceedings if they still exist.  Any information about this Joel Rogers and his family who lived in Weakley County from about 1828 – 1835 or so would be greatly appreciated.  [email protected]

216.  I am interested in the TUCK/COOPER families.

I currently suspect that her father was Epherm Sanford Cooper 1871-1941 and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Cooper 1874-? After this it appears that Epherm COOPERs parents are William B Cooper and Sarah Pickens but that Lizzie Coopers parents are possibly John Granville Cooper and Mary Martha Griffith. I feel confused and stumped…brick wall!  Anyone researching the Tuck/Cooper lines?  [email protected]
