My grandmother, Nancy Jane Fowler, was born in Texas on February 28, 1861 and died in Paris, Arkansas on November 12, 1902. She married my grandfather, William Barton Smith on May 9, 1886. He was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on April 8, 1839 and died in Paris, Arkansas on April 10, 1910. Nancy Jane was married to Isaac Newton Mitchell and bore four children with him before she married William Barton Smith. I know nothing of Nancy's parents or siblings. I can only assume, because of her affinity for the nickname "Tennessee", she may have spent some of her younger life in the state of Tennessee. I will appreciate it ever so much if anyone can help me find my grandmother's genealogy. Cordially, William Allen "Bill" Smith

My ancestor's brother, Alanthus "Lish" Fowler, married on 1 Nov 1848 Tennessee Ann Fowler (his cousin). They had two sons, James Edwin (DOB unk.) and Thomas Jefferson (b 1849). There were perhaps two other children. Could Nancy Jane have been a granddaughter of Tennessee? If you can connect to one of the above sons, I have more information.
