Dear Patricia, I am descended through Richard Marcom (b. 1750 Caroline Co., VA d. 20 Aug 1829 Orange Co., NC), brother to your Samuel, on my Marcom line but also have a Graves line. I am interested in additional information on your Nancy Graves. I had her in my data base, but did not know her maiden name until I saw your post today. Could you please send me her b., d.,m. info. Do you know who her parents were? My Isaac Lee Graves b. 1 Nov 1810 NC d. 1894 buried in Graves Cemetery in Perry Co., TN. It is believed that he moved probably from Caswell Co., NC to Maury Co., TN at a very early age about 1820. He moved to Perry County, TN about 1845 per land grant. Also interesting to me is that your Sarah ? was from Overton Co., TN? I live in Overton Co., TN and while I am a transplant from West TN and have not discovered any lines of my own here, I am very involved with the local genealogists in Overton Co., TN. I would be happy to check with some of them on your Sarah if you could let me know what you have on her. Just a thought. I know how difficult the maternal lines can be. My Richard Marcom had a daughter, Nancy b. 26 Apr 1790 d. 1872 m. Wiley Roberts 15 Feb 1812, who had a daughter Martha Ann Roberts b. 1818 Orange Co., NC d. 1 Feb 1892 Exeter NC. Martha Ann Roberts and John Butler Workman are on the 1850 Census for Overton Co., TN. Their daughter, Nancy Caroline Workman, b. 9 Apr 1849 Overton Co., TN d. 10 Apr 1938 Los Angeles, CA. Another daughter of Richard's, Elizabeth, is my direct line. My Elizabeth Marcom's(b.20 Aug 1784 Orange Co., NC d. 1820 Orange Co., NC) husband Daniel Holder(b. 1780 d. aft.1850 Gibson Co., TN) moved to Gibson Co., TN. I was born in Gibson Co., TN as a direct result about 101 years later. (Smile) Any thoughts?
