I have a nail marrying a Swagerty (and later the next generation Swagerty who married a Scott who's offspring married a Cowan). all were in Tennessee. Does Mary Ann Nail, born about 1820 in Roane co., Tennessee ring any bells? Or her father, Aquilla or Quiller Nail born Nov 1785 or 86 in Roane County Tennessee, married Sarah Lee who was born 1792 in Roane Co., Tennessee sound familiar? My Joseph Skiles Cowan was born in Williamson, Tennessee 10Nov 1777, married a Jane Cowan Graham born 11 Oct 1782. Times, places, names....a needle in a haystack.
