    1. [KY] GRISSOM, Giles Co, TN
    2. Hoping to find someone connected to this family line that has ancestral information. My gggfather Nathaniel GRISSOM was b about 1805 poss NC. I donot find him on any census in Giles Co, TN, however he m there abt 1827 to Sarah MORGAN or MORGREN poss b SC of Danish Descent. All of their children b in Giles Co, TN are as follows: Mary GRISSOM b 8 Feb 1829 probably m and lived in Giles Co, TN. William Wiley GRISSOM b 10 Sept 1832 d 5 Jan 1901 Martha Jane GRISSOM b 10 Sept 1835 Sarah Caroline GRISSOM b 8 Nov 1837 d 16 July 1840 Solomon Jenkins GRISSOM b 8 Mar 1839 m Emily Ann CREEKMUR b 30 May 1838 Hopkins Co, KY m 23 June 1859 Hopkins Co, KY. (This is my direct line) Thomas Jefferson GRISSOM b 28 April 1841 d 27 Dec 1861 Hopkins Co, KY. Sometime after 1850 Nathaniel and Sarah migrated to Hopkins Co, KY where they both died. It appears that only sons Solomon Jenkins and Thomas Jefferson went with them. At least they appear in the Census records 1860 and Solomon Jenkins still there in 1870. However Solomon Jenkins and Emily Ann headed for OK where he died 7 Dec 1926. I donot know the date or place where Emily Ann died, however some family tradition says KS. I have subscribed to the GRISSOM list for several years and nary a lead. Hoping someone here will be related to Nathaniel GRISSOM and Sarah MORGAN and can help me solve the mystery of their birth and their parents. Dorthy GRISSOM MACK
