Thank you so much, John. I really do appreciate your help. The Demilia is my great great grandmother, Vernilla Graves who married Hiram Jackson Worley. The marriage license is Vernilia, but the translator read it as Emalie Graves. Again, thanks so much.

Hi John, Will you see if you can find an entry for Sebrina/Cebrina FISHER in your cemetery books? I "think" she is buried in the cemetery near Ganntown - Renfro?? I know I have seen her name listed with GIBBS as a middle name so I'm trying to re-trace all my steps.

John I am trying to find where my great-great grandmother Sarah Faith Jane "Faithy" Jones is buried. She first married Frances Marion Mercer who died in 1868. Faithy married Jesse S. Hodges in 1872. She then died in 1875. Her parents William A. Jones and Catherine Elvira Youngblood are buried in West Eden Cem and she has a brother in Luther Chapel Cem. Faithy might be buried by her first husband, they did have two sons together, but I don't know where he is buried either. In census records, Faithy had appeared under Faith, Jane and Sarah at different times. The who family seemed to give census takers a different name each time. Ted

Hi, Is anyone researching the GIBBS family that lived in Johnson Co. back in the 1800's? I am trying to relocate a piece of information I saw at one time but now I can't find the source. My ancestor, Sebrina/Cebrina SMITH was born 16 May 1836 in TN. She married Frank FISHER in Johnson Co. on Jan 5, 1859. They lived in Ganntown. I'm positive that I saw her name or signature on something that had Sebrina GIBBS and then either SMITH or FISHER. At the time I thought it might offer a clue to her mother's maiden name. I checked their marriage license again and it wasn't there and I checked Frank Fisher's estate settlement papers and it wasn't there either. Does anyone recognize this name? Thanks so much.

Could anyone tell me if the Robinson Cemt. listing is on line and if not, does the Johnson Co. Hist. Soc. have it for copying? Thank you Linda Holmes White
