Nancy, I have a very bad copy of an old map that is at the tax assessors office in Coffee County. I think it was printed around 1890. It lists all the names of the landowners on it. The writing is faded and some are hard to read, but I'll take a look at it tonight. It's from the wrong time period for these families, but I'll see who is listed on it. On another side note, you're discussing the Tanners and Kirklands with Steve, ask him about HIS connection!!<G> they're intertwined yet again!!
