Eli WARD was married several times and had approximately 23 children. I am the descendant of his first wife Elizabeth WEBB, b. 1829 and d. 1880-1886 in Anderson Co. TN. Eli was a minister of the gospel in Anderson and Campbell Co. My maiden name is Ward and it is very important to me to track this particular line. Any information on Eli WARD or Elizabeth WEBB would be greatly appreciated.

Other family members in Anderson Co.  TN:
I am a descendant of
Melvina TUCKER, b. 12 May 1834, m. to Phillip SEIBER b. 1833 in Anderson Co.; John DIGGS b. 1819 and d. in Andersonville Prison 25 Jun 1864, and his wife Rachel WALKER b. 1820 and d. 8 Apr 1897 in Oliver Springs. I would like to share what I have as well. I have no information on the parents of Melvina TUCKER, John DIGGS, Elizabeth WEBB or Rachel WALKER. If you know anything about them I would like to hear from you.

Steven ELSWICK b: ca: 1774 and Charity NESTER b: ca 1783 married 2 Jun 1795 come from the Anderson Co. area as well. I believe that Steven's father was Jonathan ELSWICK and Charity's father was Frederick NESTOR.

David MAYBERRY b: ca: 1799 and Nancy STROUD b: ca 1799 are from TN but I don't know what area.

I have lots of family in TN and would love to share.

I  am researching my GGG Grandfather, Dajiel GRAY who war from Tenn.  He was borl ca 1790 and may have been a War of 1812 vet.  He moved to Texas in 1831, and was an original Texas Ranger under Capt. Tumilson; fought in the Mexican Revolution  and against Commanches.
He died in Bastrop Countx, TX, in 1847.
Question:  Hjw do I find his father when I don't know his name?  Early census records do not show family members, only heads of households.  The 1830 and 1840 census leads me to believe he was from Davidson County, but nnw I'm lost and don't know where to turn.  Any gtidance on how to track him?
  I live in Covina, Calif., so I just can't go to Tennessee.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
Sincerely,
James D. Gray

Dear Gene,
 Have you done the Soundex Search for Tennessee for the year 1900 ? If you have not, the Soundex Code for the name Free is < F600>
  Get to an LDS Family History Center near you somewhere and ask a staff member to help you order this film. There is a Catalogue for the Soundex Films there, and this coded name will be somewhere in one of the films. It will list all the Free's in Tenn. at the time of that Fed. Census. The people at the FHC will help you get started searching the film. Pay special attention to any Free name you should find in (Sevierville) Sevier Co. or any of the counties around that county. Any map will tell you all the County Names. It takes about 10 days for the films to come in from Salt Lake. The films cost $3.25 for use for about 60 days.
  This should lead you to your Jackson FREE or to his parents or other relatives. If there is no success with this year's Soundex, then go to the 1910 Soundex also. If I can help you further on the even older family lines, please e-Mail me.
Best of luck...Diane G.

I am descended from a Jacob Weekley 1740 - 1824 VA, who originates from Shenandoah Valley VA, now WVA. Jacob and Elizabeth Weekley had approx. 11 children, one being William, Elijah, Enoch, John .... In my correspondence with Randy Weekly, he believes the Weekley, Weakley and Weekly are all descendents of the same family.
One descendent, William Weekley 1765 - 1845 moved to southeastern OH, Noble Co, many of his descendents still live in this area. My connection is through Levi D Merry.
  Another son, John Weekly moved to OH and farmed land in both Licking and Musk. Co.

Please let me know if you see any connection (a listing can be found at:WEEKLEY, WEAKLEY FAMILY - weakley2.html)

His uncle, Wyatt and wife Irene ran a plantation of cotton and tobacco fields near the end of the turn of the century. Wyatt JACKSON had four sons. these are my dad's first cousins. Wyatt  JACKSON Jr. recently died at the approx. age of 72 yrs. They owned property known as "Old Sycamore", now a beautiful golf course and deveolpement for famous country singing stars.

There is a lot of heritage there. I am from Rock Island, Ill.

Minnie Pearl was a best freind to my dads 'Aunt Cappy' as they called her. She died several years ago. I took my first steps at her home about 41 years ago.

Would love to here from anyone about this family. Two of the four cousins are still living, I believe.

I've almost given up on finding anything on my dad's side. His name-Ed. Fulton GOODMAN, born 1883 in Pittsburgh, Pa. He had 2 sisters one was named May GOODMAN, and a brother named Charles GOODMAN. I was raised by my aunts. He wasn't around much. I was born in Dawson, Pa. 1915. Mothers name Edna SNYDER. Reason for sending all this to you: Charles Goodman, perhaps moved to Tennnesee, and perhaps died there.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  Jess Lewis  ([email protected]) on the TNROOTS email list recently wrote to someone who was looking for published sources available on Coffee County, TN: Coffee Co. is alive & well, thank you ! Lots of "stuff" available. For starters, you might visit..... http://www.cafes.net/jlewis/        
Then, check.......http://cafes.net/jlewis/pubs.htm for a sampling of what is available from the Coffee Co. Historical Society.
If you don't find what you need, E-Mail Jess Lewis at [email protected] & he will let you know what else is available.
Jess also wrote: Possibly, some of you new folks out there, are not aware of the USGen Web or Tennessee's link with it as the "TnGen" Project. Most all counties of Tennessee (including Coffee) are represented, with sources, links, and lots of "goodies".
Why not check us out at...... http://www.usit.net/tngenweb/

Hi:
I'm looking for a William G. GOOLSBY married to a Elizabeth possibly FUGUAY. From White Co., Jackson Co. and Putnam Co. TN. They are my 4th great grandparents. They left TN and went to MO and then NE in 1855. He was one of the first people in Richardson Co. NE
I also have a Wade or Wyatt GOOLSBY married to a Jane CROOK in 1787 in Rowan Co. N.C. their son may be James GOOLSBY with land in Jackson Co. and White Co.
One of his daughters is an Elizabeth who marries a Rev. Josiah BROWN. They also go to Mo.
Jesse CROOK also goes to MO and NE with the Goolsbys.
There is an elder William GOOLSBY born around 1801 in MO. with a wife named Patsy or Margaret. He must die because she goes to NE at the same time Wm. G.  GOOLSBY does.
I believe they are related.
Wm. G.  GOOLSBY is again in Putnam Co. in 1870 but dies in NE along with Elizabeth.
James GOOLSBY dies before the 1870 census.
Can anyone help me put this together? There are 3 others looking for the same family and one for the CROOK's.
Thanks
Terri Lang.
