I got this the other day and am still trying to make a connection. But I need your help. Does the young James sound familiar? Isn't there a James living with another family that everyone is always trying to place? Is this him? Any help is appreciated. JIM -------- Original Message -------- From: Michael Beall <mpbeall@rmci.net> Subject: Re: Inman To: Jim Williams <jim76501@vvm.com> Jim, Excuse me for taking so long to reply. Thank you so much for writting. I will certainly be spending time searching through your web pages. Finding my Inmans in the 1870 and 1880 censuses had been unsucessful as yet and very frustrating. Without this information I can not be certain in liking to the Inman household in Giles County that I suspect. This is the 1860 household that I suspect: 1860 Census, Northern Subdivision, Giles County, Tennessee Page 65, 27 June 1860, Lynnville P.O. 24, 448, 448, John W. Innman, 30, M, Tennessee, farmer, 0, 400 25, Nancy E.(Innman), 23, F, Tennessee 26, Arabella (Innman), 4, F, Tennessee 27, Virginia A. (Innman), 2, F, Tennessee 28, James N. (Innman), 3/12, M, Tennessee As my great-grandmother was not born until 1862, an 1870 census house would go a long way to establishing a definate link. Then I would need to link back father - but one step at a time. The connection between my Anderson family and the Inman family may be more than just that my greatgrandfather, Samuel Anderson, married my greatgrandmother, Cynthia Inman. Giles County, and Decatur County census information makes me suspect that one of Samuel Anderson's aunts may have also married an Inman - possibly widowed by 1860 as I find her, 29 year old Elizabeth with an Inman surname and a 4 year old son, James. I find her 10 years later married to a Lanier, but still with a 14 year old James Inman in the household. Also in the household is her widowed mother, Nancy Anderson! Are you aware of the 26 year old Robert L. Anderson in Giles County in 1860 - apparently married to a 29 year old Rachel, with a couple children and a 67 year old "domestic" in the household named, Elizabeth Anderson. I am not aware of the connection to my Anderson - but a connection would not surprise me. My 3rd-great-grandparents are the 70 yr. old NH (i.e. Nathaniel) Anderson and 56 yr. old Nancy H. Anderson, on page 60 of 1860 census, Giles County. And my 2nd-great-grandparents are the 20 year old John W. Anderson and 29 year old Sarah Anderson on page 108 of 1860 census, Giles County. I am pretty certain of the children of Nathaniel and Nancy Anderson - so I am certain this Robert Anderson is not a son - but maybe a nephew (???). There are several Andersons in the county at that time other than Nathaniel and his children. I have seen that a lot of Giles County Inmans went to Missouri about this time. I have no family tradition that my Inmans did - but it would not be out of the realm of possibility that they could have and returned to Tennessee. I really know so very little that I can rely upon. Thanks again for writting and I will be looking hard at The Inman Compendium!
