Reuben Westmoreland marr to Elizabeth (most list Elizabeth as Abernathy). They were of SC removed to Davidson CO TN. Reuben died 1818 in Davidson; Elizabeth and several of her children removed to Giles CO TN. They had several children including Laban, Wm G., Jesse and Martha L as proven by many deed records in Giles CO TN. Elizabeth married 1836 (for a very short period) Charles Neal (my ancestor). This 2nd marriage ended in 1838. A Tilmon R Daniel (aka Tillman / Tillmon ) is very much a part of the 'Reuben Westmoreland group'; he appears in many of their deed records (time and time again) no relation specified. Was he a close friend or was he a relation of sorts? When I came upon this record (pasted below) I really began to think that he must be related. Wm G Westmoreland signing over his portion of his mother's dower estate (upon her death) to his brothers Laban and Jesse.... BUT also to Tilmon R Daniel! Why? This particular record indicates to me that Tilmon may have married a daughter of Reuben Westmoreland. If anyone on this list knows anything about this Tilmon R Daniel, please respond. I have many more records listing his name that I could forward. Thank you for your time, Debra ~*~*~*~*~*~* NOTE: 1 Aug 1838 , Giles CO TN Deed Bk-N, p334, Reg 10 Aug 1838, William G WESTMORELAND of Henry CO TN to Tilmon R DANIEL Laban A WESTMORELAND and Jesse WESTMORELAND of Giles, $200, all the right interest and title that I have or may have to my part of the Estate of Reuben WESTMORELAND my Father and which was left to dower of my mother Elizabeth WESTMORELAND now Elizabeth NEAL and also all Estate or money that may be coming to me at the death of my mother which may have been made by her since the death of my father Reuben Westmoreland decd for which claims I forever relinquish...
