I'm not from Union Co. but do have ancestors that were there and thats why I have the Union Co. genealogy books. Heres a few more bits and pieces. Smith-Lyerle Cem. Joel C. Smith 14 Aug 1838-19 Feb 1874. (He married Malinda E. Noble 4 Feb 1866). She remarried Thos. J. McKinney 9 Feb 1879. The records states that this is her third. It does lists her parents names. It also gives his parents if you want that. Alto Pass Cem. Wm. D. Noble 1855-1942 Sarah Emma Noble 1860-1937 Ann Noble Barger 1888-19__ (not dated yet) Charles L. Barger 1885-1916 T.P. "Tom" Noble 19 Sep 1857-11 Sep 1930 Isabel Noble 6 Mar 1861-14 Mar 1928 Fount Noble 1884-1964 Bertha Mae 1892-1954 I included some of these because I figured they must be children of Tom or Wm. since they were buried close by. I have marriage records that lists parents names, ages and other info. starting about 1877. Before that the info. is sparse. If you need anything looked up in these let me know the names. I know I've seen some of your names in them and sometimes they are second marriages. If you want to send any of your family group sheets I can try to fill in your blanks. This gets confusing after awhile when its not my family and I'm not familiar with them. Alot of the names are also common names which is harder to figure out. Let me know if you need anything else checked. I love doing it! Patricia Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
