I am on a "needle search in a haystack" My great-gr-grandmother was named Agness Greener/Griner/Gruner. She was born Sept 1822 in GA according to the 1900 census or according to her tombstone 6 Jan 1821. My grandfather, born in 1900, knew her and stated that she was "full blooded" Indian and her husband was "full blooded" German. The first time I find this family is in 1870 on the Henderson Co, TN census. She is listed head of household with 6 children who consistently through the years state they were born in TN. This places her marriage ca 1851 and first child is born Mar 1852. I have not located this family in 1860. Tn had a direct tax collected during the civil war. This was approved in 1862, but I do not know exact date of collection or list making. She was not on this list for Henderson Co or the other counties in the area that I have checked so far. On the 1870 census her real estate value is $200.00 so she owns property by then. He husband has died/left since conception of last child which was born Mar 1864 and the 1870 census. There are a couple of Floyd families in Decatur Co, TN , but have found no connection. Does anyone have a Floyd family in GA with a daughter by this name/age with any of that family coming to TN, especially the Henderson/Decatur Co area? A picture of one son supports the Native American story. We believe she was living in the area during the civil war because of stories told. Thanks!!
