It has been a long time since I have posted to the list. My Howell Co. families, which no one else seemed to have before are: Elledge, Hankins, Briggs, Dixon, etc. I am looking for any and all available information about Nathan Briggs, or Nathaniel. He had a daughter, Elizabeth Jane Briggs that married Isaac Elledge. I am wondering if Nathan was at least part Indian. He is a brick wall. I have that he was born about 1792 NC and died in Howell Co., MO. His wife's last name was Eskridge. He was on the 1841 to 1844 tax lists for Roane Co.. He moved to MO in the 1850s. Thanks in advance! Jerry Johnston
