    3. I have been a subscriber for a couple of weeks but this is my first posting. I am trying to get information on the following brothers. Jessee Thomas Faires born 10/19/1808 in TN (possibly Tipton Co.). First married ca. 1834, wife's name unknown. They had the following children: George H., William B., Mary J. (marr. James B. Morris), James Thos. and John A. (marr. Malinda Rickardson). All born in TN. Second marriage to Elvira Lake (father Daniel T. Lake) in Tipton Co., TN 10/24/1848. They had children: Jacob Arthur (marr. Anna L. Ray) and Susan Ann (marr. Wm. O. Bean). Family moved to Johnson Co., TX ca. 1855. Elvira died soon after and Jessee marr. Susanah C. ? in Johnson Co. on 11/25/1856. They had son Columbus W. (marr. Fannie Fleming). On 1880 census, Jessee's brother Samuel was living with them. He was born ca. 1804 in SC. Both brothers said their mother was born in SC and father in Delaware. Can anyone tie them to other SC or Delaware Faires families or provide any earlier location for Samuel?
