I knew about some of Philemon's crew going to TN but as far as I no I haven't made a connection. In the past, I researched Philemon back to Richard in VA. I wrote a book about my Bradford ancestors, and had just enough books printed for my children and first cousins on the Bradford side. My maiden name was Bradford, and I warned everyone about going the Philemon route since I spent so much time on it to no avail. Best of luck in your research. When you hit the proverbial brick wall it it extremely frustrating. Nancy
