I am posting my biggest block wall mystery that relates to Trigg County. His name is Thomas W. Dennis born 1819, resident of Stewart County. HER name is Levicey Futrell Hendon Dennis, wife of the same, born 1825. And the ONLY person I have found that seems to fit her description is one in an (ahem!) family Bible of your Trigg Futrells... her what I believe to be "papa" (and a bonafide claimed Futrell of Trigg) is indeed buried over in Stewart Co. Parkers seem connected to Futrells, and Parker connections are rampant in this Dennis family, indeed Parker names pass right on down and Levicey's daughters grow up to marry Parkers. Shaws seem to know the Futrells intimately, and you see who gg grandpap married first. I am still looking for a Futrell researcher interested in actually solving the mystery...ya got an entire line of descendents I will be happy to fill you in on, if you ever claim Levicey somewhere... here are some pieces to the mystery.. jan Ancestors of Thomas W. Dennis Generation No. 1 1. Thomas W. Dennis, born March 02, 1819; died May 20, 1884 in Tennessee; Dennis Cemetery. He was the son of 2. Samuel Benjamin Dennis and 3. Cynthia ?. He married (1) Julia Ann Shaw March 31, 1842 Levetia Futrell. He married (2) Levetia Futrell Hendon 5-11-1854 in Stewart Co. Notes Tombstone says "husband of Levice".

Notes Appears on Tax Lists: 1836- Samuel Dennis- 100 acres-District 8; 1837-Samuel Dennis-100 acres-District 8; 1838-Samuel Dennis-100 acres-District 8 and also William N.

Samuel disappears off the tax lists after 1843. Does this mean he has died? Also our William N., son of Samuel would only be ten years old when he is listed as having 1wp. Does this mean that there is ANOTHER William N., possibly Samuel's brother??? Appears in 1850 census (TWICE. Once as Benjamin, once as Samuel, same man)...does NOT appear in 1840....but is on 1836 tax lists???? How come he disappears off tax lists in 1843??? In 1830 there is a Samuel Dennis 110101-121101 in Davidson Co. In 1840 there is one 20001-00001 in Fayette Co. What is going on here??? Notes On 1840 census as "Silly".
