I too have Union County ancestors but have never been in the area. Planning to make a trip soon though. Maybe some of you can help me obtain some info before I head that way. The family lines I am researching HART, LEWIS and STOWE/STOW are plenty in your area and are intermingled in most of the families from there. Most have been researched and documented but the particular ones I am looking for seem to have escaped much, if any, documentation. My other problem is the repeating of a particular name in all theses families which makes it almost impossible to keep the straight .... so please bare with me as I try to explain. I am looking for any info on the family of Telitha/Talitha Cumi LEWIS born about 1825. She married Eli HART, born possibly in Tenn. about 1810, and they were living in Claiborne Parish by 1840 according to the census. By 1850 they had moved to Jackson Parish where they are listed as HEART. The story I have on that Talitha is ... Her mother was Telitha Cumi STOWE and she married an unidentified man named LEWIS. Telitha Cumi Stowe's parents were married on July 10, 1821 and owned a large plantation in Jackson parish. Her mother was also Telitha STOWE (have no maiden name .. possibly STOW also). The paper I have from a relative states that the STOWEs had 3 children, 1 girl ... Telitha Cumi and 2 boys ... Abraham and Francis Marion. Does anyone out there have anything to help me trace and sort my Telithas or any info on Eli HART? My ancestor is one of the children of Talitha and Eli Hart and his name is Abraham Thompson Wood HART. His middle name brings other families from the area into my search. Confused yet?? I am .... Any help would be appreciated ... sorry this was so long and thanks for any and all help. Dee Simmons
